Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Faced with a crowd of onlookers, Lin Feng, now nearly two meters tall, cleared his throat, and the crowd immediately quieted down, all looking at the significantly stronger man before them.

Lin Feng then spoke:

“Not much change, just an increase in strength, roughly double what it was during the late Stage One evolution.”

Hearing this, Chen Shanshan and the others, as well as the Church team, all gasped.

You have to know that the upper limit of Stage One evolution, Level 19, has nearly nine or ten tons of strength, while the threshold for Stage Two evolution, Level 20, can directly double that…

…reaching an astonishing twenty tons or more.

In other words, Lin Feng's physical strength alone is now comparable to a heavy tank.

No wonder Stage Two Evolvers have such a noble status and generous treatment in the Oasis, even becoming one of the nine governing officials of the council, influencing the development of the Oasis Town.

And most second-rate wanderer forces in the Wasteland have at least one Stage Two Evolver leader.

The Salvation Army branch that the group encountered, whose leader Bai Ye was a powerful late-stage Stage Two Evolver.

The scale of his forces is also among the top existences among wanderers, not far from being promoted to a first-rate force.

Stage Two Evolvers are not only powerful themselves, but also have a long lifespan. A thousand years is enough to protect the growth of a clan, using the life source essence in their bodies to ensure that their descendants flourish and are passed down through generations.

For example, in Oasis Town, the Farming Village, one of the five villages under the Oasis Battleship, is the territory of the Li family.

And the guild in the Fifth Village provides ordinary wasteland residents with another feasible path to advancement. The guild's hunter ranking system also gives Stage Two Evolvers another free identity besides joining top forces and becoming wanderers.

But their status and treatment are equally noble.

In short, starting from Stage Two Evolvers, one truly becomes the elite of the Wasteland.

From then on, they no longer have to struggle for daily livelihood, nor will they be subject to too much restraint.

If they don't want to work hard anymore, they can simply join a certain force and receive extremely generous treatment.

Correspondingly, as a Stage Two Evolver, if one wants to go further, the difficulty and resistance are several times greater than before.

For wanderer forces like the Salvation Army, the effort required to become a regular army is not much different from Bai Ye's promotion to a Stage Three King.

Continuing in a small team mode or as a lone wolf is the hunter system of the Wasteland Hunter Guild, but the price is also not low.

During the battle on the third basement level of the ruins, one of the three armored corrupted individuals who attacked Lin Feng was a former One-Star Hunter from the guild who explored the forbidden area, possessing early Stage Two strength, but unfortunately fell in the depths of the ruins.

Therefore, for ordinary Evolvers, being promoted to Stage Two is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and from then on, they can rest easy.

But what kind of unambitious people would have such a strong motivation to become stronger?

Basically, they all want to continuously become stronger and eventually stand at the pinnacle of evolution!

Like Bai Ye, and like Lin Feng.

At this moment, Lin Feng felt the vigorous excitement of the Stage Two evolved cells in his body, like the core power of a machine, driving the Level 19 cells in his limbs and torso.

After being promoted to Stage Two, his mental consciousness could also more keenly sense the flow, proliferation, and division of the evolved cells in his body.

Level 20 evolved cells, rich in life source essence, start from the brain and fuse with the entire spine, entering every piece of flesh and blood tissue and every organ in the torso through the nervous system.

Life source essence, like the Rockhorn Horse, slowly flows along both sides of the spine into the whole body, continuously transforming it.

Compared to the earth-shattering changes in identity and status after becoming a Stage Two Evolver, Lin Feng was more concerned about the changes in the Stage Two body itself.

He wanted to continue to become stronger, not to indulge in enjoyment, especially after talking with Bai Ye, Lin Feng felt that this world was becoming more and more interesting.

As the chosen one with a system, perhaps one day, things that Bai Ye and the Salvation Army could not do could be realized in his hands.

It seems that after becoming a Stage Two Evolver, one usually needs to pay attention to restraining their aura and reducing the unintentional release of aura.

Now that he is a Stage Two Evolver, the power he possesses, even with just one finger, can crush an ordinary person or enhanced person. Even a Stage One early-stage Evolver is no different from a rat or rabbit in his eyes.

The tenfold difference in attributes between the two is also an invisible barrier, separating them.

In the eyes of A'lian, A'ming, Ding Yi, Liu Qian, and others, Lin Feng at this moment is like a fierce tiger with imposing authority, even just being by his side would make people feel uneasy and tremble.

After all, the difference in strength that Lin Feng can extinguish with one hand is even greater than the difference between a person and a dog.

Chen Shanshan and Zheng Yanying, who are Stage One mid-stage Evolvers, are in a slightly better state, but they also have no resistance in front of Lin Feng.

Originally, Zheng Yanying, who had a Level 16 evolution, had planned to compete with Lin Feng to test the other party's level.

Because with the blessing of the Holy Spring's power, a Battle Priest can unleash a level far exceeding their own evolutionary level.

For example, Zheng Yanying's limit amplification state can exert nearly ten tons of strength, enough to rival the upper limit of the late Stage One, an ordinary Level 19 Evolver.

Therefore, from the beginning of the departure, Zheng Yanying had always regarded Lin Feng as being of the same level and treated him equally.

With this strength and confidence, she was not afraid of Lin Feng, who was only at Level 17 evolution at the time.

However, now in the other party's Stage Two evolution aura, even with the blessing of the Holy Spring's power, Zheng Yanying has no possibility of contending.

Cross-stage evolution is a qualitative improvement and leap, bringing too great a gap.

Unless Zheng Yanying is promoted to a Level 19 elite Great Priest in the late Stage One, she can only carefully maneuver with Lin Feng, who has just entered Stage Two evolution, by exerting all her strength.

This is also the reason why the Holy Spring Church branch in Oasis Town regards the four elite Battle Priests of the Oasis as their trump card.

Under the blessing of the Holy Spring's power, they can possess the strength to match the early Stage Two, especially near the church, they can obtain a continuous stream of Holy Spring water to continuously bless their state.

But as a trump card to guard against the Li family, elite priests cannot leave Oasis even half a step.

The only one available is Zheng Yanying, a second-tier veteran Battle Priest like her, who came to complete the Wasteland Wolf source essence collection mission.

At this moment, Zheng Yanying, who was overwhelmed by Lin Feng and lost the dominance, only wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and leave this place.

Lin Feng, who had restrained his aura, was not aware that he had unintentionally shocked everyone, and only said in a flat tone:

“Since the Salvation Army has kept its promise, then I will also fulfill the cooperation content and assist them in transporting the equipment from the military factory. As for the Wasteland Wolf source essence crystals, you can continue to explore the remaining fourth and fifth basement levels. I will clear the unexplored areas.”

“With me here, you don't have to worry about the recurrence of the aberrant monster tide, just steadily advance.”

Lin Feng felt that in his current state, those strong radiation pollution sources before, such as the blood of a Stage Three and other tissues left by the Stage Three King, and the spiritual whispers of pollution, could not affect him at all.

As long as he is not directly exposed, there is no big problem.

Finding the remaining five Stage One Wasteland Wolf source essence crystals and a Stage Two life source essence should be very easy.

However, Zheng Yanying raised another question:

“Stage Two Wasteland Wolf corpses are not common in the Feicheng ruins. In the past, the Wasteland Wolves, led by the Wolf King, were the first to attack the main castle of the Mount Tai Refuge, which is now the Fallen Wolf Valley.”

“Most of the dead Stage Two Wasteland Wolves are actually in the Fallen Wolf Valley, becoming the source essence for the subsequent evolution of the Wasteland Wolves. Only a few chased into the Feicheng ruins and were beheaded by the Evolvers here…”

“According to the Church's records, most of the wolf corpses should be in the underground passage between Feicheng and Mount Tai, which is the passage on the fifth level.”

Lin Feng frowned slightly, somewhat beyond his expectations:

“So we may have to go in there, take the underground tunnel on the fifth level, and go to the edge of the Mount Tai ruins?”

Zheng Yanying nodded. This was also the original plan. After exploring the fourth level, they would probably be able to collect the required Stage One Wasteland Wolf source essence crystals, and then run through the tunnel on the fifth level.

This way, they would not have to go deep into the sixth level or deeper, so as not to disturb the aberrant monsters at the bottom of the ruins, such as the Stage Three aberrant King.

But the perfect plan was interrupted by the sudden Salvation Army. Now that they continue to go deep to the sixth level and below, there is still a risk of alarming the Stage Three aberrant body, and everyone must be more careful and cautious.

And the biggest change is that Lin Feng directly promoted to a Stage Two Evolver after cooperating with the Salvation Army.

Zheng Yanying didn't react before, or rather, she didn't expect that the Salvation Army would really fulfill the contract as required.

They gave Lin Feng the patriarch-level Rockhorn Horse source essence that the Li family had spent a lot of money to buy from the Holy Pilgrimage convoy in advance.

Before clearing the fourth level, they allowed Lin Feng to successfully promote to a Stage Two Evolver.

You have to know that a Stage Two source essence is a treasure worth 200,000 points, and in order to buy it, the Li family definitely paid more than 200,000 points, as well as their in-depth cooperation with the Holy City Life Farm.

Some deep-level interest exchanges.

For example, part of the Stage Two source essence of the family head Li Hao is handed over to the Life Farm for research.

In short, such an important item, as a raw material that can give birth to a Stage Two powerhouse, the Salvation Army easily transferred it to Lin Feng, whom they had only known for a short time…

To be honest, if Zheng Yanying hadn't seen it with her own eyes, if she had only heard this news, she would definitely not have believed it.

However, since things have already happened, Zheng Yanying can only raise the issue first:

“The underground tunnel on the fifth level is filled with Wasteland Wolf genetic pollution, and there are many powerful aberrant beasts hibernating in it.”

“If a Stage Two Evolver sneaks into it, it is easy to alarm a large group of aberrant bodies inside, forming an aberrant monster tide far stronger than this one.”

“Most of the aberrant bodies we encountered this time were actually polluted by the Stage Three King's organization of humans. Although they were mixed with a small part of the Wasteland Wolf gene, it didn't have much impact on the appearance of the aberrant bodies.”

“They still have a basic human form.”

"Therefore, the combat power of these Mutants is far inferior to that of human Evolvers of the same rank. Generally, they are several levels lower. Only the newly corrupted Corruptors from the outside can rely on their physical strength and the protection of their armor to be slightly stronger."

"For example, the Corruptor attack you encountered this time."

"As for the Mutants who have been in the Feicheng Ruins for many years, even the Tier 3 Mutant Kings are only about as strong as Tier 2 late-stage Evolvers."

"However, in the underground tunnels of Level -5, the pollution suffered by the Mutants is mostly from the genes of the Wasteland Wolves, and some even contain the bloodline of the Wolf King…"

"Their strength is comparable to that of a true Tier 3 King."

Saying this, Zheng Yanying took a deep breath and continued:

"Because the Mount Tai Ruins are located within the Church's ruling area, many Church priests have come to investigate in the past, wanting to unravel that sealed history or eliminate the pollution curse within the ruins, but they all failed."

"So, it was later listed as one of the forbidden areas."

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

"According to the calculations of these senior scholars, the Feicheng Shelter Ruins where we are located are likely just a dining hall for the Mutant beasts bred from the Wolf King's Tomb within the Mount Tai Shelter."

"That is, those Mutant beasts with wolf teeth and wolf fur feed on the Mutants within the Feicheng Ruins, continuing the cycle from thousands of years ago."

"Obviously, to them, fresh Tier 2 Evolvers are more delicious and valuable to eat than Mutants…"

"Therefore, starting from the underground tunnels of Level -5, it is a forbidden area that Tier 2 Evolvers can never set foot in. The Mutant beasts evolved from the Wasteland Wolves have a sense of smell that is a million times more sensitive than that of Mutants."

After listening to Zheng Yanying's introduction, Lin Feng frowned slightly, recalling a detail that Su An the priest mentioned when he described the mission to him.

That is, before becoming a priest, as a deacon, he had been to the Mount Tai Ruins, and the reason why Tier 2 Evolvers could not enter was exactly as Zheng Yanying said.

The more powerful Wasteland Wolf Mutant beasts were waiting in the Level -5 tunnels, waiting for Tier 2 Evolvers to go there to collect supplies, and thus lose their lives.

After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Feng slowly opened his mouth:

"That is to say, if you want to enter the Level -5 tunnel, you can only rely on you and Chen Shanshan and a few others? Are you confident with your strength…"

Zheng Yanying sighed softly. There have been too many sudden events along the way. The butterfly effect caused the original plan to deteriorate in an unpredictable direction.

After thinking for a while, she shook her head and replied:

"If there were no Salvation Army and no Mutant riots, the Mutant beasts in the Level -5 tunnel should be in a state of hibernation, in order to cope with the upcoming scorching sun."

"But now that the Salvation Army has blown it up like this, coupled with the Mutants scurrying around, it is likely that many hibernating Mutant beasts have been awakened."

"Although the possibility of encountering them in Level -5 is not high, after entering the tunnel, there is a high probability of encountering awakened Mutant monsters."

"With my current strength, I can at most deal with Tier 2 early-stage Mutant beasts, and only one at a time. Chen Shanshan counts as one, as for the combat power of the others…"

Before Zheng Yanying finished speaking, Lin Feng looked at the others who were looking at each other with some hesitation, and understood the problem here.

However, things have come to this point, so they can only take it one step at a time. They don't know what changes they will encounter later.

"Let's search Levels -4, -5, and -6 first. If there is really nothing, I will think of a solution. After the upgrade, my combat power has been greatly improved. Now I can easily deal with Tier 3 Mutant Kings, and I am also confident in dealing with Tier 3 Mutant beasts."

Lin Feng looked at the corner of his eye to remind him, and continued:

"Collect all the Tier 1 Wasteland Wolf Source Crystals. As for the Tier 2 Source Crystals, I will discuss it with the Salvation Army at that time."

Zheng Yanying nodded and said nothing more.

Now that Lin Feng has been promoted to Tier 2, he does have the equal qualification to negotiate terms with the other party, such as sending a few Tier 1 late-stage squad leaders from the Salvation Army to assist in exploring the Level -5 tunnel.

After discussing the follow-up plans, Lin Feng immediately let everyone disperse and seize the time to rest.

The task on the fourth day will be even more arduous.

After everyone returned to the car, Lin Feng also returned to the Rock Horse chariot to check the upgraded cannons.

With the enhancement and improvement of the Power of Imprint, the equipment upgrade speed has been much faster.

In just over ten minutes, it completed the Tier 20 transformation and became an orange-grade killer weapon.

Lin Feng first picked up the armor-piercing cannon, and its appearance had more changes. Although it still retained the revolver drum, the size exceeded Lin Feng's knees, and it was a full thirty centimeters thick.

The entire cannon is ninety centimeters long, close to one meter, the barrel is fifteen centimeters thick, and the inner diameter is twelve centimeters, which should be able to fire one hundred and twenty millimeter shells!

Its power is naturally needless to say, but Lin Feng is more concerned about the changes in its attribute functions:

「Armor-Piercing Cannon lv20, Orange Quality, Imprint」

「Basic Attributes: Damage 200, Effective Range 3 kilometers, Kill Coverage 15 meters, Remaining Tungsten Core Armor-Piercing Shells 50; Has been upgraded to the host's level limit」

「Additional Attributes: Ammo Recovery 1 / 1h; Space Magazine 50 rounds; Area Damage (Coverage Radius 15 meters, Center 3 meters Damage 200); Fire Coverage (Six shots per second for five seconds); Armor-Piercing Shells (Armor-Piercing Ability increased by 100%, Damage + 50)」

「Note: Can freely switch back to lv19 Armor-Piercing Cannon, or lv9 Precision Handgun」

「Evaluation: A Tier 20 orange-grade armor-piercing cannon with a hit damage of up to two hundred and fifty, its power is comparable to that of a one hundred and twenty-two millimeter howitzer; Under the fire coverage damage, one armor-piercing cannon is equivalent to the original six armor-piercing cannons, enough to pose a life threat to any unarmored flesh and blood; Although the number of spare bullets is scarce, it is definitely easy to use; Compared to the torn target, can the nearby environment or buildings withstand the terrifying power of the armor-piercing cannon!」

After reading the introduction of the new weapon armor-piercing cannon, Lin Feng's eyes lit up directly.

This is a damage of two hundred and fifty points, even Lin Feng, who had just been promoted to Tier 2, only had two hundred points of health, unable to withstand even one shot.

It is estimated that even Evolvers below Tier 2 early-stage cannot withstand an armor-piercing cannon.

As for above Tier 2, without wearing armor of the corresponding level, taking a shot of armor-piercing cannon damage head-on will result in serious injury even if they don't die.

It can be called the ultimate killer weapon.

Except for the insufficient amount of spare bullets in the space magazine and the speed of bullet recovery, all other attributes are perfect.

But these are not problems.

Because after Lin Feng absorbed the experience and lessons from the last time he upgraded the lv10 burst rifle, he specially spent a lot of health to create an imprinted sub-weapon.

A rapid-fire cannon specially designed for firepower suppression!

At this moment, after the Tier 19 rapid-fire cannon was upgraded, there was not much change compared to before, and even the caliber did not increase much, it only changed from half a fist to most of a fist.

But the weight has increased a lot, from the original one ton with four thousand spare bullets to one and a half tons.

On the other hand, the weight of the upgraded armor-piercing cannon has decreased instead of increasing due to the sharp reduction in the number of spare bullets. Although it is more convenient and flexible to use, the recoil brought by the powerful armor-piercing cannon is even more difficult to master.

As for the current rapid-fire cannon, although it has become heavier, the damage increase is also rapid, and it is still the case that Lin Feng did not specifically increase the damage:

「High-Explosive Rapid-Fire Cannon lv20, Orange Quality, Imprint」

「Basic Attributes: Damage 170, Effective Range 5 kilometers, Kill Coverage 10 meters, Remaining High-Explosive Shells 1000; Has been upgraded to the host's level limit」

「Additional Attributes: Ammo Recovery 1 / h; Space Magazine 1000 rounds; Area Damage (Coverage Radius 10 meters, Center 2 meters Damage 170); Extreme Pursuit (Automatic mode opens ten shots per second)」

「Note: Can freely switch back to lv19 Rapid-Fire Cannon, or lv9 Fine AK」

「Evaluation: A high-explosive rapid-fire cannon with a power between a Tier 19 armor-piercing cannon and a Tier 20 armor-piercing cannon is an absolute killer weapon against life forms below Tier 2, and also has extremely strong lethality against most unarmored Tier 2 beings; The firepower is very powerful, it can fire ten shells in one second, dealing nearly two thousand coverage damage, and the firepower intensity can be comparable to a cannon battalion; Please be careful when using it!」

After reading the data of the upgraded high-explosive rapid-fire cannon, the corners of Lin Feng's mouth couldn't help but rise.

Although the amount of spare bullets in the space magazine and the bullet recovery rate have shrunk seriously like the armor-piercing cannon, the damage has actually increased a lot.

It increased by fifty points of damage at once.

The damage of one hundred and seventy is ten points higher than the previous armor-piercing cannon.

This means that Lin Feng can even use the high-explosive rapid-fire cannon to directly sweep Tier 3 Mutants, and now there is no need to find the best sniping opportunity at all.

Once the automatic mode of extreme pursuit is turned on, it is direct firepower coverage.

One shot can make a Tier 3 Mutant separate from its limbs, and the impact of the area damage can also make it tired of running for its life.

So although the amount of spare bullets is small, compared to the previous Tier 19 armor-piercing cannon with only four hundred spare bullets, Lin Feng can slaughter all the way from Level -4 to Level -6 three times inside and out with the current one thousand high-explosive rapid-fire cannons.

Coupled with the manpower and flamethrowers of the Salvation Army, even the bottom three floors have a chance to be swept away.

Of course, compared to these fixed offensive methods…

The most important improvement after this evolution is naturally the second awakening of the Power of Imprint!

If the current Tier 20 armor-piercing cannon and the Tier 20 high-speed rapid-fire cannon are combined and synthesized using assembly synthesis to create a super weapon…

Then how terrifying would its damage be?!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all, and his mind was all on thinking about going to experiment.

So, after experiencing a period of ideological struggle…

Lin Feng walked out of the Rock Horse chariot with the armor-piercing cannon and the high-explosive rapid-fire cannon, two heavy weapons comparable to Gatling guns, intending to go to the wasteland.

Try the killing and destruction effects of the synthesized super weapon, what exactly it is like!
