Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

#158 - Power Armor's Power, Departure and Protection Fee

At this moment, inside the camp, Zheng Yanying and the others had already packed their equipment and were planning to set off immediately, returning to Oasis Town.

Time waits for no one. It was the morning of the fifth day. Departing during the day, they would have twelve hours of daylight and darkness before arriving at Oasis.

In just a few more hours, it would be the sixth day.

Originally, they had planned to complete the mission in four days, but now the operation had been delayed by more than a day due to the Mutant Riot. Although Father Su'an had given them a deadline of seven days, it was definitely better to complete it as soon as possible.

Especially since modifying the candidate members of the Church, fusing them with the essence of the Wasteland Wolf, would still take some time.

The order Zheng Yanying received was to deliver the minimum required Wasteland Wolf essence within five days.

Now, watching the others eagerly preparing to depart, Lin Feng lightly coughed and said:

"I plan to stay and collect a few more portions of the second-order essence of the Wasteland Wolf to ensure the Church can achieve great success in this confrontation."

"So you guys go first, and I'll be there soon."

Zheng Yanying put down the supplies in her hand, her brow furrowed slightly:

"Should we send someone back with you to report the situation to Lord Su'an?"

As she spoke, Zheng Yanying looked towards the dormitory bed behind Lin Feng, where Father Su'an's "naughty" daughter was still staying.

Lin Feng nodded and looked at the teammates behind him:

"Aming, Ding Yi, and Liu Qian, the three of you drive the dormitory vehicle and follow Captain Zheng and the others back to Oasis Town."

"Be careful on the way. Oasis is only less than ten hours away now, so keep your spirits up and don't sleep on the road."

"The remaining Chen Shan, Alian, and Liu Mingfei, you stay with me and continue to guard the camp on the surface, keeping an eye on those wanderers."

"I'll go to the fifth level of the ruins again, and I'll be back within half a day, at most a day."

With just a few words, Lin Feng arranged all the subsequent tasks properly.

Hearing the captain's decision, the team members looked at each other, and several people began to discuss it, especially Ding Yi and Liu Qian, who actually wanted to stay and be by Lin Feng's side.

Lin Feng's purpose in dividing everyone up like this was naturally to balance all parties and avoid accidents.

Chen Shan and Ding Yi were the people he trusted the most. Although the former was a bit silly, she was the strongest and most obedient, while the latter had awakened her brain domain evolution ability and could help deal with many trivial matters.

Next, as the Salvation Army left, the order on the surface outside the cave would gradually fall into chaos. If no one suppressed those wanderer caravans, it would be fine if they competed with each other, but they couldn't be allowed to target the caravan.

Leaving the three strongest members behind would be more deterrent than arranging for Ding Yi, Liu Qian, and others to guard the area.

The three women were all relatively smart people, suitable for dealing with the chaotic situation in Oasis Town and handling matters for him.

Lin Feng then called the three women over and whispered his instructions:

"After returning to Oasis, spread the news that I have been promoted to the second level, let the Li family know that I am a gun-type ability user, and that I have already become a second-level evolver."

"As for the guild, they should know that we have already had some contact with the Salvation Army. Mention the trade of pure essence and see their reaction, whether they want to recover the pure evolution agents in our hands."

The three women nodded, pondering each other, gradually understanding Lin Feng's thoughts and purpose.

This was to raise his value, while adding some variables to the situation, in order to delay the time for both sides to take action.

After sending the three women away, Lin Feng waved his hand and turned around to see Chen Shan, who was preparing to put on her battle armor again, and immediately interrupted her actions:

"You stay up there, I can go down alone."

Chen Shan was quite puzzled:

"Really alone? Is that okay? What if something happens and there's no one to rescue or cover you…"

Lin Feng patted the high-speed burst cannon on his waist:

"Do you think anything can stop me with this? Unless the old Wolf King buried in the Wolf King's Tomb revives, those second-order corpse wolves wouldn't even be able to get out of the tunnel entrance."

Then, he said earnestly:

"Moreover, this mission is too dangerous for you, who are only at the mid-stage of the first level. Before, wearing powered armor to deal with second-order mutants, or late-stage first-order mutant beasts was okay, but in front of second-order corpse wolves, even with the blessing of powered armor, there is absolutely no possibility of resisting."

"You haven't reached the second level of evolution yet, so you don't know the strength of this stage, and powered armor can only provide additional improvements in basic attributes."

"The increase in the mid-stage of the first level is limited, so stay on the surface and wait for me to come back."

Chen Shan remembered Lin Feng's weapon experiments before, the power of which could directly shatter ten-meter boulders, and no flesh and blood could resist it.

So she nodded, took off the depleted high-energy battery, and replaced it with a few new ones:

"Then you remember to wear powered armor, those mutant beasts and werewolves are very fast, and the corpse wolves will only move faster. Without armor assistance, you won't be able to react at all."

"This set of powered armor was originally designed for second-level evolvers to wear, and it's a bit too much of a burden for me to wear, so it's just right for you now."

"Also, take my titanium spear with you. Even if you're not proficient, you can still block an attack in close combat."

The titanium spear was Chen Shan's most cherished relic, but Lin Feng's solo action this time made her even more worried.

Lin Feng hummed in response.

This challenge against the second-order corpse wolves in the tunnel was also the strongest enemy he had faced since leaving the Wild Rift Valley, even several times more dangerous than the Chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse back then.

Powered armor plus two cannons was Lin Feng's strongest equipment lineup.

"I was also planning to wear powered armor, but forget about the titanium spear. You take it and guard the surface, so that you can deter those wanderers."

"Don't worry, it'll be over in an hour or two at most. You have to lead them two and guard the camp well."

"Moreover, our mission has been completed ahead of schedule, and the Salvation Army also plans to withdraw directly. The remaining wanderers will go to lick some free food, so pay attention to them."

After speaking, Lin Feng put on his powered armor, tuned into combat assist mode, and directly scanned and locked onto the targets on the field.

On the heads-up display screen in front of him, a reminder popped up asking whether to scan the data of the two cannons on his waist to build a data-integrated combat platform.

"Good fellow, it was really amazing back then!"

Lin Feng exclaimed, feeling like he had entered a sci-fi scene in a game, and started up the mecha.

As a general-purpose basic model, the exoskeleton powered armor can adapt to a variety of weapons. It not only has powerful defense enhancement and attribute amplification effects, but can also integrate information from various models of equipment and weapons.

At the same time, it scans and reads the essence concentration in Lin Feng's body, records the wearer's evolution level, and evaluates physical and mental state, and displays it.

Thereby establishing a comprehensive information integration platform.

For example, now it records Lin Feng's two weapons, their usage status and ammunition reserves, etc.

All factors affecting combat are digitized and presented in the eyepiece display, greatly enhancing the wearer's combat situational awareness.

In addition to the multiple cameras on the armor itself, and various types of sensing elements, everything is integrated and summarized on the screen in front of him, giving Lin Feng a 360-degree view and warnings of various moving objects.

In other words, wearing this armor is equivalent to obtaining an all-around enhancement, allowing Lin Feng, who is at level 20, to possess the strength to surpass levels at 21 or 22.

Moreover, in actual combat, with the automatic system engaged in combat mode, he directly gains the richest experience and becomes a battle-hardened warrior.

It's equivalent to the system taking over and playing for him.

No wonder it sells for more than 20,000 points…

Apart from the battery life issue, this exoskeleton power armor is almost flawless.

But the biggest problem is also battery life.

Under normal circumstances, it only has one and a half hours of combat time, and it is also divided into two modes:

Not counting the hibernation state under low power, one is the normal mode, suitable for direct combat, but it cannot accelerate running for a long time.

The other is the sports mode, a high-performance combat state, where the original strength +20% and speed +50% effects are doubled to strength +50% and speed +100%!

In sports mode, it is equivalent to Lin Feng being able to briefly obtain the super-high speed of the mid-stage of the second level, exceeding 200 meters per second, and at the same time, his perception will also be the same as the mid-stage of the second level with the assistance of the combat system.

This gives Lin Feng the confidence to directly face the existence of the mid-stage of the second level, and the shortcomings in strength can be filled with the extremely powerful artillery in his hand.

Even after the armor-piercing cannon and the penetrating cannon are assembled and synthesized, it can directly severely damage fully armed second-level mid-stage evolutionaries.

The newest novels are first published on 6\\9\\书城\\吧!

Solving the problem of evolved wasteland beasts without armor, especially those like the wolf clan with low defense and flesh and blood, let alone the mid-stage of the second level, even the late-stage of the second level can easily grab them with their hands and one shot each.

As long as he dodges their swift attacks, Lin Feng can rely on the synthesized cannon to be invincible.

However, the result of the high movement speed sports mode is a three-fold increase in power consumption. The original ten batteries can supply power for about one and a half hours, but in the state of sports mode, it is directly compressed to less than half an hour.

A short eighteen hundred seconds, every second counts.

And once it is activated, the enemy can completely avoid the battle and pull away after noticing it, consuming your battery life.

Or carry out constant harassment, forcing you to constantly maintain a state of alert.

Therefore, the timing of turning on different modes is particularly important.

However, these problems are not problems for Lin Feng. The biggest shortcoming of other evolutionaries is the limited attack distance and short hands. With Lin Feng's long-range firepower supplemented, he only needs to ensure that he is not injured.

After Chen Shanshan's previous use, the power armor has already consumed the stored power of four high-energy batteries, and each subsequent battery has to be charged for several hours or more.

Fortunately, five batteries were included when purchased, and after killing the armored corrupter before, nine batteries were stripped from the one-star hunter of the guild. After Lin Feng upgraded and repaired them, they were successfully restored to use, with a total of fourteen fully charged.

It just so happens that he has the standard reserve of ten batteries.

"Half an hour… is enough!"

Lin Feng planned in his mind that the life-and-death victory or defeat of high-level battles often occurs in an instant. As long as he seizes a loophole in the opponent's actions, he can instantly inflict heavy damage on them.

Especially for predators like humans and wolf clans, both choose a high-attack and low-defense mode in the direction of evolution, resulting in extremely low fault tolerance in battle.

But humans can use technological power to install armor and increase firepower to make up for this shortcoming.

And the wasteland wolves can only continuously optimize and strengthen the iron claws and steel teeth that break through the prey's defense. This back and forth makes the gap between the two sides bigger and bigger…

That's why the wolf clan has the risk of extinction.

Because ecological isomorphic competition often intensifies when environmental resources continue to deteriorate.

Both sides will regard each other as enemies.

On the contrary, the rock horn horses, as prey, can continue the survival of the group, because they, as a source of food, will be consciously protected by predators to prevent the number of their species from sharply decreasing in a short period of time, triggering the collapse of the ecological chain.

After the old wolf king realized this, he took the initiative to lower the wolf clan's ecological niche at the cost of his own life, staggering the competition with humans, in order to continue the group.

Although the Wolf King's Tomb has not had a qualified successor for a long time after obtaining the protection of the gods, it can quickly cultivate a new wolf king when needed.

As for now, it is estimated that the wolf king's original intention is also to screen out the strongest successors in terms of bloodline and ability, so as to lead the wolf clan back to prosperity.

It's just that dragging it on until now will inevitably be targeted by people with ulterior motives…

Especially some people with ability and ambition.

Such as Lin Feng.

After familiarizing himself with the power armor, Lin Feng then arranged for Chen Shanshan to guard the entrance to respond, and then walked into the ruins alone.

At this time, the Salvation Army had already dismantled the spotlight refraction device on the first and second basement floors, and took the car to leave the Feicheng Shelter.

The accompanying team had dozens of vehicles, including seven or eight heavy trucks and more than a dozen buses, and drove towards the Oasis Avenue in the southwest.

And the wanderers who had gathered on the periphery before had also entered the ruins and began to pick up some "leftovers".

Don't look at the fact that there is nothing left in the ruins, but for many poor wanderers, even a piece of iron is valuable, not to mention that in the eyes of the Salvation Army and Lin Feng and others, many daily necessities and glass building materials, etc., have their own uses.

All waste materials can still become good raw materials for vehicle modification in the hands of wanderers.

When Lin Feng entered the first basement floor, he saw many figures scurrying in the ruins, like scavengers in a garbage dump, picking and choosing, looking for treasures.

Now the pollution and poisonous gas on the first and second basement floors have been completely purified under the sunlight, so some wanderers, even if they are not wearing closed protective clothing, only wear breathing masks, it is not a big problem.

However, they will only stroll around on the first and second basement floors at most, and there will be danger starting from the third basement floor.

There are still a small number of distorted bodies inside. Lin Feng and others did not completely clean them up because of limited time.

As for the lower fourth and fifth basement floors, the wanderers whose evolutionary level is only in the early and mid-stage of the second level have no strength to explore them.

It will not affect the sweeping action of the tunnel wolf den, so Lin Feng did not pay much attention to them, carrying the bag given by Chen Shanshan, and went deep into the ground all the way.

But what Lin Feng didn't expect was that after the wanderers saw Lin Feng leave, Chen Shanshan, wearing armor, stood at the gate of the shelter, and they all looked at each other.

"This guy, doesn't he want to collect protection fees?"

"It does look a bit like that."

"Where else do we have oil to squeeze?"

"But I heard that the distorted monsters in the ruins were cleaned up by that guild master. Even Lord Bai of the Salvation Army has to be polite to him and discuss cooperation…"

"You don't know, when he came here, he had just entered the late stage of the first level. Lord Bai spent a lot of money to promote him all the way to a second-level powerhouse!"

"Then why don't we grit our teeth and offer some tribute?"

"Hey, let's search for more to recover some blood!"
