Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Of Oasis Town's four major villages and the Fifth Village, Lin Feng was most familiar with only the Fifth Village and Holy Spring Village.

Besides those, he was somewhat familiar with Motorcycle Village. His first electric scooter for transportation was handed over there, and he relied on it to lead his team to the Wild Rift Valley hundreds of kilometers away to hunt rockhorn horse herds and complete his initial evolution accumulation.

However, Motorcycle Village's products were all basic electric scooters. If you wanted something higher-end, you couldn't avoid Dawn Village, which produced key components.

This was one of the two villages in Oasis Town that truly mastered technology, while the other was Farm Village, which developed breeding technology.

Precisely because of this, the two small settlements, each with a population of over a thousand, were very exclusive and somewhat mysterious.

But now was not an era where status was determined by technology; whoever had the bigger fist had the say.

Lin Feng put on his powered armor, carrying a backpack of thirty-five-millimeter grenades and the handover order from the guild that Chen Shanshan had brought back, and drove his war chariot to Dawn Village.

However, the two camps were only five or six hundred meters apart. Dawn Village was just behind Holy Spring Village.

He had passed by several times and seen what Dawn Village looked like.

Compared to Motorcycle Village and the Fifth Village, it was clearly much more orderly, with several planned areas and many laboratories and factory districts.

After all, most of the villagers were engineers and maintenance workers from the Old Earth era, covering all aspects of the manufacturing industry.

Therefore, the camp planning was naturally well-organized and very scientific.

When Lin Feng slammed on the accelerator and brakes, stopping outside the gate of Dawn Village, the startled guards at the gate raised their rifles.

These rifles could only do some damage to the war chariot.

The powered armor Lin Feng wore was a full set of titanium alloy armor plates, easily capable of withstanding 12.7mm bullets, let alone these rifles.

But more than the powered armor, Lin Feng's own strength made the guards of Dawn Village tremble.

After all, this was a Second-Order Evolver!

Under the pressure of his aura, the guards, who only had Early First-Order strength, were like a group of rats facing a ferocious tiger.

Their bodies reacted instinctively, some Ninth-Level Enhancers experiencing stiff limbs, their blood flow seeming to stop, their minds blank, unable to move.

Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't make things too difficult for them.

Lin Feng glanced around.

The guard force at the gate had increased from the original one or two Early-Stage Evolvers to more than ten, and even Mid-Stage Evolvers had been sent over…

It seemed that the situation was indeed becoming increasingly tense, and everyone was making final preparations.

Dawn Village, the weakest in terms of combat power, had also strengthened its defenses outside the camp.

Not only at the gate, but also in the vehicles around the edge of the camp, there was at least one Evolver in each vehicle, armed and stationed inside, maintaining order and ensuring safety.

However, most of them lacked combat experience, as could be seen from their expressions and reactions, possessing only evolutionary strength.

They could only bully those two or three levels below them. Once they encountered someone of the same level or a weakness in their strength, they would immediately reveal their true colors and fall into a disadvantage.

Because most of them were somewhat educated, they were more adapted to the stable city life and had a natural fear and weakness towards risking their lives in battle.

In this situation, Dawn Village was more vulnerable to the impact of rebellion and turmoil, and many Evolvers and Wastelanders were thinking of coming to loot for free.

Lin Feng's impression of them was only the limping, bespectacled man who ran the appliance store in the guild, who had once scammed him with a set of inferior ventilation combat suits.

He had also made a lot of money from him when he ordered an electric scooter later on.

And among the shopkeepers of the four major villages, only Dawn Village's shopkeeper had the lowest strength, and it was obvious at a glance that he had no combat experience.

This situation was officially confirmed again when Lin Feng paid a visit.

However, this was a great thing for Lin Feng.

Without close combat experience, they needed to use convenient and quick hot weapons to make up for their shortcomings.

Especially for Evolvers, the speed of getting used to guns and cannons was definitely faster than knives and shields, and it was easier to deter enemies.

Lin Feng was the same at this moment.

The two meter-and-a-half-long giant cannons on his waist, almost touching the ground, were his strongest deterrent besides his own Second-Order strength.

The fist-sized muzzle, coupled with his identity as a gunner, made anyone who saw him tremble.

Therefore, very quickly, in less than half a minute, a group of people hurried out of the village, slowing down ten meters in front of the slowly moving war chariot.

The leader was a middle-aged man, with Late First-Order strength, his expression neither humble nor arrogant, saying:

"I have long heard of Mr. Lin's great name. I don't know what brings you to Dawn Village. We released news and notices two days ago that we no longer sell any products or accept orders."

"If Mr. Lin is looking to order photovoltaic panels, or motors and batteries, please go back. Our factory has stopped work and is undergoing training."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes:

"Are you in charge here?"

The middle-aged man nodded:

"Our leader, Cheng Da, is in Oasis. I am his younger brother, Cheng Shan, and I am also the village chief. I am currently in charge of Dawn Village."

Lin Feng adjusted the war chariot to automatic cruise, then stepped out of the vehicle, looked at the crowd, and said:

"I'm not here to place an order, but to retrieve all my belongings and give you some orders on the way."

As he spoke, Lin Feng did not take out the order, but raised the muzzle of the cannon on his waist:

"Time is tight, the task is heavy, I'm straightforward and have no time to waste with you…"

"I bought two off-road war chariots and two heavy-duty transport trucks from the Hunter Guild. Return all the parts the guild stored here for me, every single one."

"Start now, get them together for me in ten minutes. For every minute over, I'll kill an Evolver."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng pointed the muzzle directly at Village Chief Cheng Shan.

Cheng Shan frowned, his expression unkind.

A young junior from the family behind him directly shouted:

"Who do you think you are? How dare you make a move in Oasis Town? Aren't you afraid of the adults on Oasis…"

Before the arrogant words were finished, Lin Feng, who had already switched the high-explosive rapid-fire cannon in his hand to an LV9 premium AK, aimed directly at the young man's brow without saying a word.

With a bang!

The enhanced bullet, with a damage of up to sixty points, tore through his face, relying on its rotational force to pierce the fragile brow bone and tumble in the brain behind.

The resulting impact cavity completely shattered the brain tissue, turning it into a puddle of red and white slurry. Finally, the stray bullet broke through the back of the head and slammed into the hood of the war chariot behind, completing its mission.

The people of Dawn Village were dumbfounded by this scene, but as the young man's abrupt retort ended, and his body slumped to the ground, the faces of the high-level personnel, splattered with blood, instantly transformed from astonishment to unbridled rage.

However, the two dark muzzles and the pressure of a powerful aura that followed intimidated them, sending chills down their spines and making their hair stand on end.

The fury burning in their hearts turned into a terror of death, and the angry curses that had reached their lips were forcibly swallowed back.

Lin Feng, hidden beneath his titanium steel helmet, revealed a slight smirk.

After observing them for a while, he knew that these people were not courageous or desperate; a little manipulation would easily suppress them.

After decisively dealing with a troublemaker, Lin Feng acted as if nothing had happened, scanned the crowd, and continued, "There are still nine and a half minutes left. You can keep stalling, but for every minute over, I'll kill an evolver. Even a late-stage Tier 1 evolver is just a single shot away."

Realizing that the newcomer was not to be trifled with, Cheng Shan quickly arranged for his subordinates to prepare.

The latest novels can be found first on 69shu.com!

Then, he turned to look at Lin Feng, feigning composure.

He hadn't expected Lin Feng's strength to increase so rapidly. When he had first arrived at Oasis Town a day ago, he had just advanced to Tier 2 and was only level 20.

If not for his special identity as a gun-wielding ability user, he would have been at most a level 19 evolver capable of maintaining peak condition, able to fight five late-stage Tier 1 evolvers simultaneously.

But if he encountered other Tier 2 evolvers, even early-stage powerhouses at level 21 or 22, he would be completely crushed.

After all, level 20 was only the entry threshold, and the increase in strength was limited. Level 21, on the other hand, was almost twice as strong.

By analogy, level 20 was the bottom of the Tier 2 evolvers.

Yesterday, Li Mingquan, the village chief of Farm Village, had used this argument to persuade him to restrict deliveries and seize the guild's vehicles and assets.

It was also to prevent these strategic resources from falling into the hands of the enemy and becoming a breeding ground for future troubles.

But now, the enemy's strength was no longer at the level 20 evolver stage. Others present might not have a clear sense of it, but Cheng Shan, as a level 19 evolver, was very sensitive to the strength of early-stage Tier 2 evolvers.

The aura emanating from the person in front of him was at least at level 22 or higher, already in a stable state in the early stage of Tier 2, no different from Li Mingquan.

Even their Dawn Village chief, after hundreds of years of diligent effort, had only reached this level of strength.

The person in front of him had risen to become a Tier 2 powerhouse in just over a month with incredible speed, and now, within a day, he had broken through from level 20 to level 22, surpassing the beginner phase of Tier 2...

Coupled with his identity as a gun-wielding ability user, anyone who wasn't stupid could see that Lin Feng's future strength and status would even surpass that of the Li family's old ancestor.

Thinking of all this, Cheng Shan's heart was torn between conflicting ideas, and he quickly made a decision.

Squeezing out a bitter smile, he explained, "Lord Lin, this matter has little to do with us. It's all Li family's doing. Li Mingquan, the village chief of Farm Village, ordered us to delay the delivery."

"Now that Lord Lin has spoken, we will return the goods to their original owner. Please forgive us, Lord Lin; we are caught in the middle, in a difficult position."

Lin Feng frowned.

Farm Village Chief, Li Mingquan, it seems he is the second Tier 2 evolver in the Li family.

His strength should also be in the early stage of Tier 2. It is said that he is the successor cultivated by Li Hao, and the changes in the villages around Oasis Town are all his doing.

Moreover, his current departure from Oasis, traveling to various villages, is probably to arrange for him to deal with Su An.

Now that Lin Feng has taken Su An's position, the Tier 2 evolver he may have to face is this Li Mingquan.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately said, "I will not interfere in the struggles above Oasis, but I will dominate the chaos below Oasis."

"If Dawn Village wants to survive, a mere verbal apology does not show much sincerity."

Faced with Lin Feng's naked threat and extortion, Cheng Shan smiled bitterly and gritted his teeth with a pained expression, "We will offer you our spare heavy-duty truck photovoltaic panels, a total of sixty, to replace the damaged ones, as well as eight sets of standard motor systems."

"These supplies are worth more than 20,000 points."

Photovoltaic panels for heavy-duty trucks sell for as high as 400 to 500 points each, and even the internal price requires 200 points. As for the motor system, a set basically requires 1,000 points.

A total compensation of 20,000 points is considered acceptable, enough to meet the team's spare parts replacement needs for a period of time, saving the life value required for repairs.

After hearing the compensation details, Lin Feng nodded, "Since Dawn Village is willing to show sincerity, then naturally I must also show something..."

With that, Lin Feng took off the backpack hanging from his waist.

He showed everyone present the hundred or so 35mm caliber grenades that filled it.

Seeing these brand-new, golden shells, Cheng Shan and the others' breathing stagnated, then quickly became rapid.

These were cannon shells, strictly restricted by the Church, and even the guild rarely dealt with these forbidden goods.

In fact, large forces did not lack ammunition, but for ordinary forces and wanderers, there were too many problems to solve in order to produce cannon shells in a stable and large scale.

Production equipment was one thing, and the raw material mining and ingredient formation of gunpowder was another major problem. Even many first-class forces and major royal cities had not solved the problem of self-sufficiency in cannon shells and could only produce some bullets to meet their needs.

At this moment, the backpack of shells that Lin Feng took out, although the caliber was not large and the power was only at the level of grenades, it was still a cannon shell, capable of easily severely damaging the flesh of Tier 1 evolvers.

Obtaining cannon shells might not be able to seize control of the oasis, but it could certainly ensure one's safe survival in this turmoil.

Especially for Dawn Village, where most of the members were a group of logistical support personnel with no combat experience, the deterrent effect of cannon shells was even more needed to deter those with ulterior motives when the turmoil broke out.

Lin Feng saw this and, without waiting for everyone to ask, continued to introduce, "We went to the Mount Tai ruins on this mission and searched the forbidden area."

"If you have wide connections, you may have heard that there is an arsenal in the Mount Tai ruins, but anything of value has long been plundered. However, recently, a Tier 2 hunter team discovered another level of military factory at a deeper level."

"Inside, there are not only production equipment but also a pile of cannon shell raw materials and finished products."

"Although I didn't have time to take away tons of equipment, I did scavenge thousands of standard cannon shells..."

"So, is anyone interested in placing an order?"
