Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Back then, the Wasteland Wolf clan, led by the Wolf King, could be said to dominate a region.

As early as the Great Cataclysm of Old Earth, the wolf clan had already produced a Tier 3 Wolf King.

After the ceasefire with humans, the Wolf King, with the help of the humans under his rule, built a shelter in the northern wilderness of what was once North America.

When the Wasteland Era arrived, the Wolf King led the wolf pack in fierce battles across the wasteland, conquering several royal cities and devouring countless small and medium-sized settlements, as well as other migrating wasteland beast groups.

The Tier 3 intermediate Wolf King also successfully advanced to the late Tier 3 stage, with his five great wolf generals all possessing Tier 2 late-stage strength at level 29.

At that time, the wolf clan was thriving.

They could even compete for the title of the sole Beast King, equivalent to the strongest clan among evolved wasteland beasts.

Just as the complacent Wolf King was preparing to expand the wolf clan's power and cultivate new kings based on the five great wolf generals, the gods set their sights on this wolf cub frolicking in the wasteland.

Indeed, even the Wolf King who had advanced to the late Tier 3 stage was still like a plaything in the eyes of the gods.

Or rather, allowing the wolf pack to hunt freely and giving rise to a Tier 3 late-stage Wolf King was all part of the gods' plan.

It was solely to create a Tier 3 late-stage alien race capable of corrupting transcendents above Tier 3.

The Wolf King, after advancing to the late stage, naturally guessed this, but in the face of the gods, he had no choice but to enter the game.

In order to continue the wolf clan's bloodline, the Wolf King also put forward many conditions before his death.

Without the protection of the Wolf King, and with the deep-seated hatred they had incurred, the wolf clan would inevitably be reduced to the brink of extinction.

Even if a new Tier 3 Wolf King were hastily born, it would be difficult to grow to the middle and late stages under the watchful eyes of the wasteland kings and re-shelter the clan.

Therefore, the old Wolf King wisely chose to retreat in order to advance, carrying out an internal elimination of the wolf pack in advance, reducing the original population of as many as 100,000 evolved creatures to just over 10,000 in a short period of time.

This was to make the kings understand that the wolf clan no longer posed a threat.

Ultimately, a batch of wolves that could adapt to the harsh environment of the wasteland wilderness was selected, and they were collectively known as the Wasteland Wolves.

Wasteland Wolves are more drought-resistant, heat-resistant, fast-growing, and more resistant to hunger.

The wolf clan also went from being a first-class force at the Beast King level to a second-class clan in the wasteland, with only the five level 29 wolf generals remaining, who could only rely on the legacy of the Wolf King's Tomb in Meteor Wolf Valley to maintain the clan's continuation.

Before his consciousness faded, the Wolf King instructed the five great wolf generals to carefully cultivate their offspring, waiting for an opportunity to arise so that they could cultivate a new Tier 3 Wolf King and lead the clan back to its peak.

And this opportunity for advancement will be when the world is in chaos, the will of the gods is no more, the kings of the wasteland attack each other, everyone is in danger, and they have no time to care about the rise of the wolf clan!

Now, the structure suppressing the evil god at the bottom of the ruins has been accidentally destroyed, and the curse seal of the shelter is about to disappear. Once the Blazing Sun Forbidden Zone is over, the evil god will return to the world...

At that time, not only will the world be in chaos, but the gods' promise of protection will also be invalidated!

This is a turbulent era of devastation, but also an opportunity for the wolf clan to rise after painstaking waiting!

Therefore, Wolf Ao was even a little excited and excited at the beginning about the humans' destruction.

This is an opportunity for the entire wolf clan.

Although Wolf Ao himself has entered the twilight years of his wolf life and no longer has the qualifications to absorb the Tier 3 Wolf King source matter and inherit the position of Wolf King...

Moreover, his descendants are also quite disappointing. So far, there are only three Tier 2 early-stage descendants, of which the eldest is the strongest, with level 23, and is called Wolf Da.

But the strength of level 23 is still too low, and even the qualification to inherit Wolf Ao's late-stage source matter is not enough, let alone absorb the Tier 3 source matter in the Wolf King's Tomb.

But God still gave Wolf Ao's lineage a chance to take the lead.

It was not in vain that he guarded Meteor Wolf Valley all day long, protecting the Wolf King's inherited tomb.

Now, only he knows first that the troubled times are coming, and he must go all out to improve the strength of his descendants as soon as possible, and ensure that the three chieftain-level giant wolves under his command can grow to the late Tier 2 stage.

And the first step to achieving rapid evolution is to search for prey in the early and mid Tier 2 stages in the wilderness.

Within a hundred kilometers of Meteor Wolf Valley, only Oasis Town, which the Oasis Avenue is about to pass, has a settlement ruled by Tier 2 evolvers.

In fact, Wolf Ao had already set his sights on Oasis Town, but due to the enemy's powerful strength and the Holy Spring Church's reputation, he did not dare to directly let the chieftain-level Wasteland Wolves launch an attack.

Usually, they would search for large wasteland beast groups such as Rockhorn Horses that were migrating in the wasteland wilderness, or attack wanderer forces to make a living.

But it is rare to kill chieftain-level prey of the same rank.

They all eat some Tier 1 evolved beasts to maintain their survival.

It just so happens that Oasis Town, which is about to pass by, has run into the wolf pack's restless muzzle.

In Wolf Ao's opinion, there is no better hunting target than Oasis now.

Oasis Town is close to the Blazing Sun Forbidden Zone, and thousands of kilometers away from other first-class forces and large city-states with Tier 3 kings, and the human kings are beyond their reach.

After the hunt is over, they will directly take the tribe and flee into the wasteland wilderness.

Even if the incident is exposed, it will be difficult to find their trace.

What's more, the forces eyeing Oasis now are not just the wolf pack. Previously, Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army, came to invite Wolf Ao to cooperate.

Using Li Hao, the head of the Li family, as bait, he persuaded Wolf Ao to lead his tribe to cooperate with the Salvation Army and cover their attack on the farm village.

In the past, Wolf Ao would definitely sneer at this, because the first priority of the Wolf King's legacy is to continue the existence of the clan.

Rashly attacking humans and the Holy Spring Church would plant a disaster for the wolf clan and easily invite the disaster of extermination.

But the situation is different now. When the seal is lifted and the evil god is born, the Holy Spring Church will be too busy to take care of itself, so how can it have the energy to go deep into the wilderness and clear out the offending wolf packs.

And most importantly, the wolf clan can completely push the responsibility for this matter to the Salvation Army.

Say that Bai Ye, in order to seize the Rockhorn Horse breeding industry, colluded with alien races and attacked Oasis Town by unscrupulous means.

Although this proposal has been personally withdrawn by Bai Ye, it is true that the Salvation Army attacked Oasis Town. Afterwards, who can believe the "sophistry" of a group of wanderers.

With the Salvation Army attracting firepower, the wolf pack will not have too much pressure at least before the Blazing Sun Forbidden Zone leaves the Taishan ruins.

Therefore, there is no settlement more suitable as an attack target than Oasis Town, not to mention that there are many human Tier 2 evolvers inside.

Among them, there are about five Tier 2 powerhouses on the Rockhorn Horse route, especially the Li family head, who is also an important target for the wolf clan's hunt.

Li Hao is a veteran Tier 2 mid-stage evolver and is very suitable as Wolf Da's evolutionary stepping stone.

And so, Wolf Ao had his three sons organize their thousands of wolves, about two thousand of which were first-tier evolved, though the vast majority were in the early stages of evolution. Only twenty were in the late stages of the first tier; the rest were ordinary, strengthened wasteland wolves.

Due to their size, wolves needed to consume more food to survive, so the number of high-level evolved wolves remained consistently low.

Unlike humans, they didn't possess cultivation techniques, so in the past, they could only fully support one third-tier wolf. Only after the Wolf King advanced to the late stage and had a group of loyal human slaves to raise did they have the resources and strength to cultivate new third-tier wolves.

Faced with the barren and harsh wasteland environment, this was the evolutionary path chosen by most species.

To invest all resources into the strongest member of the pack.

Relying on its strength to break through the difficulties.

Now, with the new king about to be born, Wolf Ao's plan was to fully cultivate his eldest son, Wolf Da. Once it advanced to the late second tier, he would then allocate resources to improve the other two giant wolves.

Watching his three sons organize their teams, each with seven or eight leader-level wasteland wolves and hundreds of evolved wasteland wolves,

this level of strength, used to attack an entire oasis town, would really not be enough without his assistance.

But as long as they didn't target the human oasis warships and focused on assassinating Li Hao, the head of the farming village, with Wolf Ao backing them up, it would naturally be more than enough.

Moreover, the Savior Army led by Bai Ye would also attack the farming village, adding to their strength.

Therefore, Wolf Ao wasn't worried about failure.

He had heard a little about the conflict between the Church and the local clans from Bai Ye. In Wolf Ao's view, leading the wasteland wolves to assist was actually helping Holy Spring Church.

It was just that the destruction along the way would be more severe.

After all, low-level evolved wasteland wolves and strengthened wasteland wolves were still in a low-intelligence, beast-like state. Even humans couldn't maintain their sanity when they went on a killing spree, so how could one expect the wolves to restrain their bestial nature?

In short, everyone wanted a piece of the oasis town, and there was no shortage of wolves willing to take a bite.

"Have all the instructions been given?"

Wolf Ao slowly spoke.

The three fifteen-meter-long giant wolves in front of him growled softly and nodded in response.

So Wolf Ao stood up. Its size was over thirty meters long, twice the size of its three sons. It exuded an unparalleled aura of power, enough to fill the entire canyon entrance.

This was no longer just a giant wolf; it was a behemoth, recorded in epics and myths.

Wolf Ao led the wolf army behind him and marched out of Meteor Wolf Valley in a mighty manner.

As he left, he looked back one last time at the entrance to the Wolf King's Tomb deep in the canyon. The Wolf King's memories appeared before his eyes, and the emotions of sadness and sorrow gradually transformed into firm motivation. The furrow between his brows deepened, giving him an imposing presence.

"Depart!"

Not long after the wolves left, inside the Feicheng shelter of the Mount Tai ruins, at the level -5 train station,

Zong Shiyue's figure condensed beside a group of third-tier Abomination entities.

He began to lead the Abomination Kings deep into the settled tunnel.

Besides confirming whether the tunnel collapse area completely blocked the Wolf King's radiation from the adjacent Mount Tai ruins, Zong Shiyue also had something to verify.

That was the knocking sound that Lin Feng had accidentally discovered when he entered the depths of the tunnel before.

As the Abomination Kings went deeper and reached the edge of the collapse zone five kilometers away, Zong Shiyue could no longer sense the pollution and destruction of the Wolf King's radiation, and he no longer needed to expend most of his power to suppress the Abomination within his body.

He had more energy and power to restore his self.

The entire collapsed area was seven or eight hundred meters long. Relying solely on second-tier corpse wolves to dig would make it difficult to clear the tunnel in a few weeks.

As the Solar Flare Exclusion Zone was about to descend, all living beings had to retreat into the depths of the ruins and enter a dormant state, relying on the protection of third-tier energy to resist the Solar Flare Curse.

Therefore, Zong Shiyue's plan to return to the surface, relying on Lin Feng's firepower, had already achieved most of it.

Now, only the other half remained: developing on the surface, gathering a force as a vessel, and finally escaping the ruins from both inside and outside.

After confirming the situation, Zong Shiyue also heard the familiar knocking sound, "dong da, dong da," coming from the right side of the tunnel.

Controlling the Abomination Kings to come to the right side of the tunnel wall, he quickly confirmed the source of the sound, right at the edge of the collapse zone in front of him.

So Zong Shiyue controlled the third-tier King to excavate the source of the knocking sound and break open the cracked cave wall.

Following the sound source, after some deep digging, he finally discovered the truth in this hundred-meter-deep underground, twenty or thirty meters to the right of the tunnel.

The locations of the two emergency shelters in the tunnel were near the underground water source, to facilitate access to fresh water.

And in the collapsed area, there was an undried underground water source. Zong Shiyue found a monster covered in gray-green hard armor!

It was four or five meters tall, with thick arms and palms covered with diamond-sharp claws, constantly chiseling at the gravel in front of it!

This was the source of the knocking sound!

Fortunately, the aura emanating from the monster was only second-tier evolved, not enough to pose a threat.

Zong Shiyue narrowed his eyes. He smelled a familiar scent on this monster, a scent unique to humans.

It must have been a human originally, but after absorbing the genes of evolved beasts, it embarked on the path of aberrant evolution, eventually becoming a monstrous, inhuman creature.

Eons had passed. Now, it no longer had its self-consciousness.

But there must be something supporting this highly aberrant body, digging tunnels, leading underground water to the distance, and digging open the walls of the shelter tunnel.

Thinking of this, Zong Shiyue sensed something. A trace of shock flashed in his eyes, but it instantly turned into joy.

The reason why the monster in front of him, who had lost his self-consciousness, could drive his second-tier body and remain immortal for thousands of years was not only the power of the third tier but also the intent he had condensed himself.

And its strength was indeed at the upper limit of the late second tier, level 29, the same as Bai Ye, the leader of the Savior Army. It was once an existence infinitely close to the third-tier King.

It had already comprehended the important characteristics of the third stage.

The artistic conception that was condensed and transformed after the fusion of self-consciousness and genes!

It was this indelible artistic conception that allowed the monster in front of him to continue to control this second-tier body and carry out his pre-mortem obsession even after his self-consciousness disappeared.

It was not a walking corpse. Like the second-tier corpse wolves and Abomination Kings, it was controlled by the artistic conception energy of the third stage, but it relied on the artistic conception it had condensed itself to complete its pre-mortem obsession.

And the condensation of artistic conception was the seed for promotion to the third tier, already half a foot into the threshold of the third-tier King.

To Zong Shiyue, who had almost broken through the third tier and achieved transcendence, a second-tier artistic conception body that had just touched the threshold of the third tier was nothing rare.

But the shell in front of him was different!

Zong Shiyue could sense that its existence had lasted for thousands of years, even longer than the great battle in which the Mount Tai shelter was breached by the gods!

The obsession that could still exist after being eroded and corrupted by the passage of time was no ordinary artistic conception!

It had been transformed into the purest emotion.

A will that could not be infected or distorted!

And transforming artistic conception into will was also the entry ticket for third-tier late-stage evolutionists to launch an impact on the domain of the gods above the third tier.

Otherwise, how could the gods maintain the clarity of their self-consciousness after absorbing many third-tier source materials and artistic conceptions…

Now, the monster in front of him, transformed into a shell exuding pure will,

was the best vessel for Zong Shiyue!
