Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

As Zong Shiyue's cold laughter faded, a phantom slowly materialized within the glass box in the black container before Lin Feng.

It was the same shadowy figure he had glimpsed before by chance.

However, it was now clearer, gradually taking the shape of a wolf's head, floating on top of the cracked meat concretion.

"Wolf King Ao?"

"Is that the Wolf King's real name?"

Lin Feng asked thoughtfully.

Many Tier 3 King Beasts existed back then, but most of them were in the ocean.

Due to the scarcity of biomass resources on land, coupled with years of human plundering and domination, the living space of other wild animals was constantly compressed. Therefore, not many Tier 3 King Beasts were born at the very beginning of the Great Cataclysm.

Otherwise, with the powerful strength of a Tier 3 lifeform, comparable to a small, high-speed moving nuclear bomb, it would have been impossible for humans to rely on long-range firepower to quickly repel the mutated beast tide, reclaim cities, and establish bases.

However, as the King Beasts in the sea, many Sea Kings, began to invade coastal areas, diverting human firepower, and supporting the land-based beast races…

With living space and a chance to breathe, the wild beast groups quickly gave birth to many land-based King Beasts.

Fortunately, at that time, human research on evolution also made breakthrough progress, only two steps behind the birth of the land-based King Beasts.

But it was these two steps, a short one or two months, that made humans pay a very heavy price.

The land-based King Beasts drove and coerced millions of mutated wild beasts, breaking through one base city after another.

At that time, Lin Feng, who had finally managed to hide in the base, could only pray that the beast tide outside the city would spare them amidst the bloody news of defeat.

Among these King Beasts, the five most famous were the Tiger King, the Bear King, the Pig King, the Lion King, and the least famous Wolf King.

They were distributed across various continents.

Lin Feng's location, the inland of East Asia, gave birth to a Pig King, the most thick-skinned and fleshy among the five King Beasts.

Mainly because wild boars were rampant in those years, and the surge in numbers provided the basic samples for transformation.

As for the Wolf King, Lin Feng rarely heard of it, mainly because it was born in distant North America, across the ocean. Wolf packs there were predators at the top of the food chain, second only to grizzly bears.

Therefore, Lin Feng was initially in a daze when he found the Wolf King in the Taishan Ruins. In his impression, the Lu region did not have such a Tier 3 King Beast.

Naturally, he had no way of knowing its name back then.

Zong Shiyue nodded and briefly introduced:

"Wolf King Ao, Ao is his given name."

"Back then, he gathered more than 100,000 evolved wolves, drove millions of mutated wild beasts, and successively broke through ten cities in North America, with as many as tens of millions of lives in his mouth…"

"Later, he reached a reconciliation with the Evolutionary Alliance, occupied a state, and began to build an underground shelter for the wolf clan."

A King Beast that killed tens of millions of humans!

Lin Feng looked back at the phantom, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.

A King Beast that could do this was extraordinary in both strength and ferocity.

But thinking about it carefully, the plains in the south of North America are very suitable for mutated beasts to carry out rapid assaults.

Similar to the yaks and bison of today's Rockhorn Horses, as well as large herbivores such as moose, their impact force is very strong. With the enhancement of evolution, Tier 1 can tear apart formations and ignore bullet sweeps, and Tier 2 can break through city walls and withstand the bombardment of small shells.

Although everyone in North America has guns, the restrictions on large-caliber weapons and artillery are very strict, and the military industry itself has been declining for many years.

After the original order was broken, it was impossible to reorganize production and mass-produce large-caliber artillery.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Wolf King led his beast group to swallow and kill tens of millions of people.

Just like the ancient Central Plains dynasties, with lax military preparedness and private clans, would be broken through by the barbarians from beyond the Great Wall, looted wantonly, and even lose the throne.

But this also shows from the side that the fully developed evolved wolf clan has accumulated a rich foundation, so it can become a powerful force in the wasteland era.

Led by the Tier 3 late-stage Wolf King Ao, they can still loot settlements and hunt humans.

"This guy is brutal and cunning. As expected, he implanted his own origin flesh and blood into the corpse wolves in the ruins station tunnel, so he can appear here now."

"If you just want to use it to cultivate evolved meat, you might as well erase its consciousness as soon as possible to avoid accidents."

"You only need to use your filter to shatter the gene chain of that group of Tier 3 flesh and blood, and you can erase this clone's consciousness from the root. Then, pour the essence back into the meat paste, which will not affect future use."

Lin Feng looked at the level 20 filter next to him and nodded thoughtfully.

Zong Shiyue was right. He didn't need the Wolf King's assistance. The reason was still the principle of 'those who are not of our race must have different hearts.' Besides, Lin Feng's plan, whether it was artificial cultivation of evolved meat or plotting the Wolf King's Tomb inheritance, would forge a bloody feud with the Wolf King.

Leaving it might lead to some danger.

For example, the relentless pursuit of the entire Wasteland Wolf pack.

Lin Feng had already witnessed the scale of the wolf pack in the Taishan Ruins. Although it was far less powerful than it used to be, there was at least a patriarch-level giant wolf of Tier 2 late-stage sitting in charge.

And like such a large wolf pack with a scale of nearly 10,000, the old Wolf King left a total of five branches, each of which Lin Feng cannot currently cope with.

Not to mention if they launched an attack together to recapture the origin flesh and blood carrying the Wolf King's consciousness.

Therefore, as Zong Shiyue said, erasing it was the best choice.

However, just as Lin Feng was somewhat tempted and planned to fetch the essence filter, the fully formed wolf head phantom suddenly spoke:

"I sense the aura of the Wasteland Wolf. There is a young wolf nearby that has not yet begun to evolve…"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, stared at the lifelike wolf head in the glass box, and said directly:

"I will nurture it and help it win your Tier 3 body and the Wolf King inheritance in the Wolf King's Tomb."

The expected anger did not occur. The condensed wolf head swayed up and down, not caring:

"I only want to ensure the birth of a Tier 3 Wolf King who can lead the wolf clan to continue to survive."

The Wolf King's eyes passed through Lin Feng and looked at Zong Shiyue, who was slowly emerging behind him:

"You have severed the connection between the Feicheng Shelter and the Taishan Shelter, causing the evil god sealed for thousands of years to return to the world…"

"According to the Witch's prophecy, the dark turmoil will be opened by you and will also end in your hands. You are the child of prophecy and the terminator of the chaotic world."

"Betting on you is also part of the plan."

Wolf King Ao's words made Lin Feng a little confused. Witch, child of prophecy, pretending to be mysterious and profound.

"Who is the Witch? A Tier 3 existence among the beast race? What is its prophecy? Why is it involving me again?"

Lin Feng asked a series of questions to the two conscious beings present.

Zong Shiyue frowned, his face solemn. Wolf King Ao's words reminded him of something:

"Witches are a type of legend among the beast race. It's a mental image they see when they advance beyond their level, originating from a segment in their genes that has never been activated..."

"Of course, this is a legend circulating among the beast race. It may also be a prophet of a certain beast race, so they can leave behind such prophecies to guide the beast race forward."

"I don't know anything else. As for the Child of Prophecy, it should be the same as the savior rumor among humans. In my opinion, they are all deliberately spread to give everyone a glimmer of hope in the harsh wasteland."

Before Lin Feng could speak, Wolf King Ao immediately retorted from the side:

"Witches have the blood of a hundred races flowing through them. They are the common ancestors of all beast races. Their words have been verified one by one. It is within expectations that you can escape from the seal."

After speaking, the Wolf King turned to Lin Feng again and said:

"You are willing to keep the Evil God by your side, why bother caring about my existence?"

"That young wolf who has not yet begun to evolve, its evolution route has not yet been determined. It can be cultivated from a young age, without fixing it to the wasteland wolf line. At that time, in the trials of the Wolf King's Tomb, there will also be a great chance to obtain my remaining inheritance."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. This was his original plan:

"You mean, you want to parasitize the Divine Dog and guide it to the correct evolutionary path?"

"But why should I believe you? Even without your existence, I can still use the Wasteland Wolf Source Essence, as well as your remaining third-order flesh and blood, to quickly improve the Divine Dog's strength, allowing it to stand out among the second-order Wasteland Wolves."

The Wolf King did not answer directly, but repeatedly muttered the words Divine Dog:

"You named it Divine Dog, what a great name, with the word 'divine' in it."

Then he gave a reason:

"In addition to helping the Divine Dog achieve perfect evolution, I will also assist it in recruiting the five wolf族 teams that were under my command back then."

"Before entering the third order, this is a powerful boost! Especially for you, if you want to advance to the third-order king through Immaculate Evolution, the resistance you will face will be the entire wasteland world!"

"You don't need to believe me, you just need to know that there is a common enemy between us, that is, the gods of the past. Now they are in a deep sleep, but as the seals are lifted, they will all wake up again one by one."

"At that time, the entire world will also come to an end. You and I will become their food, stepping stones to help them completely transform into gods..."

Hearing this, Lin Feng turned to look at Zong Shiyue.

The latter nodded silently:

"Once the sleeping gods absorb all types of life origins and become omnipotent beings, they will turn the entire world into their back garden, and we will all become their food."

"Their purpose is to use the entire planet to nourish themselves, but before that, only the strongest one can ascend to the throne and control the world after killing the other members of the same race."

"The method of the shepherd is to use the planet as a pasture, and all living beings as grass, raising late-stage third-order beings as food."

Lin Feng gasped, then looked at Wolf King Ao:

"There's one last point. Since your consciousness is still there, why don't you revive yourself?"

"Your third-order body has not been contaminated, and has been hidden at the bottom of the shelter for many years. You can completely leave after the seal is lifted and lead the wolf race again."

"This is more convenient and cost-effective than re-cultivating an heir."

In fact, this was also what Lin Feng was worried about.

Wolf King Ao would invade the Divine Dog's body, using the level suppression of its own cell evolution to gradually seize control of this body.

Similar to seizing the body.

Mentioning this, Wolf King Ao realized that he and Lin Feng were not on the same page, or that the things the other party was worried about were not a problem in his eyes at all.

Because it had lost the ability to command.

Thinking of this, the wolf head sighed quietly:

"In addition to ordering me to invade the Taishan ruins, the gods also took away a part of my life origin back then."

"They have already digested and absorbed these. It is equivalent to grasping my weakness. The next time we meet, I don't even have the possibility of abandoning the race and fleeing."

"I can only obediently become food in their mouths."

"Moreover, in the future, the entire wolf race will rely on my life origin to advance to the third-order king beasts generation after generation, and then become slaves and food again."

"They have eaten and wiped the past wolf race clean, squeezing out the last bit of value."

"So whether I revive or not doesn't make much sense. I can't help you defeat the gods, nor can I lead the wolf race to get rid of the fate of being enslaved."

"I can't change it anymore. I can only pin my hopes on future generations, hoping that there will be gifted individuals among them who can walk their own path, and finally defeat me, ascend to the throne, and become a stronger wolf king."

"This is one of the reasons why I want to stay. Besides you being the Child of Prophecy, there is a good chance to help the wolf race. I also want to experiment with my ideas over the past millennium on the Divine Dog, which has not yet achieved evolution."

After explaining, Wolf King Ao added:

"Our cooperation doesn't have to start now. You can consider it for a while. The Divine Dog still needs half a month to officially begin its first evolutionary awakening..."

"During this period, I will assist you in cultivating evolutionary meat and controlling the amount of radiation escaping. You only need to put the enhanced meat or evolutionary meat in the box."

"However, my energy reserves can't last too long, so make a decision as soon as possible."

As he spoke, the Wolf King's words became lighter and lighter, and the condensed wolf head phantom gradually dissipated.

Only a piece of meat concretion remained in the glass box.

Lin Feng closed the black box and looked at Zong Shiyue next to him:

"In your opinion, how much of what he said can be believed?"

Zong Shiyue frowned slightly and slowly raised a hand:

"About 60% to 70%. At least the reasons he gave do exist and are quite reasonable."

"However, the way to avoid the Divine Dog being affected and controlled is to separate Wolf King Ao's consciousness from his flesh and blood and transplant it to other beings."

"In this way, its influence on the Divine Dog will be reduced to a minimum, and there is no need to worry about being secretly replaced."

Lin Feng nodded and turned to ask about another matter:

"Since I woke up in the wasteland, I have been hearing rumors of a savior. The top forces basically believe that they are the chosen ones and will save humanity and the world in the future..."

"Is this really true? In other words, does the ability to predict the future really exist?"

Recently, the flu has been frequent. Please pay attention to wearing masks.

I have been a little bit affected, which is very uncomfortable.
