Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, realizing something:

"No matter how hard the Church tries this time, the final result will not change. Even if I have some cooperation with the Li family, I will never allow them to seize the Oasis Battleship and hijack Oasis Town."

Thinking that the other party would undergo genetic modification, absorb the Wasteland Wolf source quality, and embark on the path of heterologous evolution, and might no longer be accepted by the Church, Lin Feng added:

"After the rebellion is quelled, if you have nowhere to go, you can bring Su Yueyue to join my convoy and continue to research how to suppress the Solar Curse."

"I also have some advanced Wasteland Wolf cells in my hand that can be used as experimental materials."

Currently, no one but Lin Feng can get close to the Wolf King's flesh and blood, which is isolated in the black box. Even if Ding Yi is very interested in it, she can only wait until she is promoted to the late stage of Tier 1, and wear various protective equipment before entering a high-level laboratory to conduct relevant research.

Tier 3 cells are no less than a deadly poison to ordinary evolutionaries. No immune system can withstand the attack from the radiation energy level.

This invisible, colorless, and odorless pollution develops imperceptibly to an irreversible extent. By the time the polluted person reacts, they have been assimilated into a distorted monster.

In severe cases, like the spy who infiltrated the camp, the surface of the body shows distorted features, growing wolf teeth and claws; in mild cases, they are muddled, the brain degenerates, and they bark randomly, etc.

Moreover, this kind of pollution cannot be reversed, especially when the chromosomes at the gene level have been completely assimilated. Even if a Tier 3 King comes, it is beyond salvation.

Therefore, the research on Tier 3 cells is extremely dangerous.

Only the strong are worthy of studying the remains of the stronger.

And like Father Su An and others, after injecting and absorbing the Wasteland Wolf source quality, it is more direct than radiation pollution.

Although the intensity is low, the fusion also brings about a complete change at the gene level, which has penetrated into the bone marrow, and they can never return to the state of pure-blooded humans.

So Lin Feng believed that Father Su An wanted to entrust his daughter because of this.

However, after hearing Lin Feng's words, the originally sentimental Su An suddenly smiled, shook his head, and slowly explained in Lin Feng's puzzled gaze:

"You're overthinking it."

"If I were the one being modified, after leaving the Church, there would be no need to worry about Su Yueyue's future at all. I could safely take her around to explore solutions."

Speaking of this, Father Su An sighed softly:

"The problem is that for the sake of the Bishop's entrustment, I can't undergo the Wasteland Wolf source quality modification and participate in the struggle with the Li family, because I have more important things to do."

"And this matter, Su Yueyue, as a poor child with the Solar Curse, must not appear by my side, otherwise both she and I will die without a burial place…"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, quickly thought of the reason, and couldn't help but ask:

"Are you going back to the Bishop's district in the Holy City?"

Father Su An nodded and directly admitted:

"That's right, this is also the solution we came up with, for me to be the final winner and regain control of Oasis Town."

"This is also why the Li family has been restless for many years, but the Holy City has not made any statement."

"Normally speaking, if any local force shows any intention of disobeying the Church, even if it has not yet taken action, a team of Holy Knights will come to punish or suppress the local clan."

"In more serious cases, even a Tier 3 formal Bishop will be dispatched to take over the local situation."

"And the reason why the Holy City is deliberately letting it go is to regain control of Oasis Town and bring it under the direct rule of the Holy City, in order to cultivate a new Tier 3 Bishop."

"Of course, the original Bishop was unwilling, after all, Oasis was built by him single-handedly over eight hundred years. In order to obtain subsidies from the Holy City, we worked tirelessly and spent huge sums of money to build the Oasis Upper-class District…"

"If it weren't for the burden of the Upper-class District, if it weren't for the need to cultivate the best forbidden area observers, and only use ordinary evolutionaries to perform the Moon Night Ritual, Oasis would have been able to support several Tier 2 late-stage evolutionaries, and even give the Bishop a chance to become a true Tier 3 Bishop from a Deputy Bishop."

Speaking of this, Father Su An paused and continued:

"But for the Bishop, if he focuses on his own evolution and development, then Oasis Town will hardly be able to maintain its current state. Not only will families like the Li family be severely suppressed, but even the nearly ten thousand permanent residents of the Fifth Village will all be reduced to slaves for life…"

"The tens of thousands of Wastelanders outside Oasis Town will be placed in a fiery hell, serving the Bishop alone."

"This is the truth of the wasteland, the current situation of most remote towns. Even at the foot of the Holy City, there are countless bones, and countless people die every day…"

"Even after death, they will only become food for their own kind. Even if they are turned into feces, they will be recycled and utilized until all their value is squeezed out!"

"In comparison, Oasis Town can still support more than 20,000 townspeople, while providing assistance to 50,000 to 60,000 Wastelanders, ensuring that they will not die of thirst, and does not restrict their freedom, which is already extremely difficult."

"Therefore, the number of Wanderers from Oasis Town is also the smallest on the wasteland, almost none in hundreds of years."

"Unlike other settlements, rebellions and riots have almost become the norm, with a large one every few years, but the suppression will only become more bloody and cruel year by year."

"But now it seems that what the Bishop has insisted on will ultimately be unable to withstand the general trend."

Hearing this, Lin Feng roughly understood the high-level power struggle behind Oasis, and couldn't help but feel a trace of regret for the future fate of Oasis.

No wonder Father Su An showed deep sadness.

After all, everything he is familiar with, the church school he established, and the ideal of educating future generations will all turn into bubbles after the Holy City takes over.

And the stable situation that Oasis Town maintains now will also regress to the slave era, and everyone will soon become slaves of the Church, paying everything to support the Bishop and other Church monks.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng asked:

"Which faction does the Bishop belong to in the Church? The Primordial faction, the Secular faction, or some more radical one?"

This question was actually very sensitive, but Lin Feng didn't understand the details. Father Su An put away the bitter smile on his face, his expression became extremely solemn, and he said earnestly:

"This is already a thing of the past, especially after the Bishop's defeat in the election that year. Almost no one in the Holy City belonging to the so-called Primordial faction, the Oasis Avenue, talks about it."

"I don't know what Li Mingquan talked to you about, but this may be a trap he bought for you."

"Lin Feng, remember, these words can only be said privately in remote places like Oasis Town. Once you go to the Holy City, do not mention this matter, especially in front of Church monks."

"Now that the Lord of the Holy Spring has been asleep for thousands of years, everyone is practicing the doctrines and developing believers under the leadership of the Saint."

"The Undying Saint is the spokesperson of the Lord of the Holy Spring."

"His words are the divine will of the Lord of the Holy Spring, and the Holy Scripture he issued is the current doctrine."

“Besides this, nothing else is to be mentioned, especially by outsiders like you who are not members of the church. You must not make reckless comments.”

“Otherwise, if heard by those with malicious intentions, it could lead to disaster, even being wanted by the Holy Spring Church and becoming a wanderer.”

Lin Feng frowned and nodded seriously:

“Understood, Bishop. What you adhere to is already declining. To survive in the Holy City and gain a foothold, you can only hide your true thoughts for now.”

This was an internal struggle within the church. To be honest, Lin Feng didn't feel much about it. It didn't involve his interests. If siding with the current secular faction could bring him many benefits,

then Lin Feng would not hesitate to offer his loyalty.

In this world, one clings to whoever provides.

Before fully growing up, one must bow when necessary.

If he wanted to implement his own ideas and establish his own ruling will in the future, he would do so when he had enough strength.

Like Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army.

Or like Father Su An in front of him.

Through this conversation, Lin Feng had roughly deduced the Oasis Church's, or rather, the Bishop and Father Su An's, response to this rebellion crisis.

That was to arrange for the young and promising Father Su An to offer Oasis Town to the Holy City in exchange for his position being promoted in the Diocese.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng nodded and said:

“So, you plan to go to the Holy City to develop, and therefore need to entrust Su Yueyue to me?”

Back then, Father Su An had proactively applied to be transferred to the remote Oasis Town, far away from the Holy City, because of Su Yueyue's special situation, in order to avoid being discovered.

Only in a harsh place could he avoid being discovered by the Holy City and carry out the rescue operation for Su Yueyue.

In fact, from this point of view, Father Su An was definitely not the kind of person who would use any means to achieve his own self-interest. And his establishment of Holy Spring Village in Oasis Town and the free establishment of church schools also confirmed this.

Father Su An nodded:

“That's right. Moreover, the Bishop's intention is to let me return to the Holy City and then run for the position of Bishop of Oasis Town.”

“As long as I can advance to the twenty-ninth level, the upper limit of the second tier, within ten years, and at the same time obtain the support of the Holy City's higher-ups and master the resources sufficient to develop Oasis Town into a large force, I can successfully take office.”

“This position is the same as when the Bishop came here back then. It's a thankless job. Only some peripheral newcomers compete for it. The real insiders disdain to waste their time here.”

“Plus, with this offering of mine, I have a great chance of regaining control of Oasis Town.”

Only now did Father Su An mention the real purpose of this meeting:

“Therefore, what I promised you before, the promises made by the church, will all be fulfilled one by one.”

“Even then, Oasis Town will have a place for you, and the industries established can share a portion with you.”

“All that is required is two small conditions.”

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at the man in front of him:

“It's not to let me directly take action to help the church solve the Li family and the other two villages?”

“But most of my strength comes from destructive power, not auxiliary abilities. If I were to kill the rebels on the Oasis, the Oasis warship might be destroyed by me first.”

“And if I were to attack the three major villages, the rebels on the Oasis would not sit idly by and might even risk everything.”

“In the current situation, I can only have a deterrent effect, unless you can transfer the battle to the wasteland. Then, not to mention the Li family head, I have the ability to severely injure all the rebellious second-tier evolvers!”

Hearing Lin Feng's confident answer, Father Su An first smiled with emotion, then shook his head:

“There is no need for you to directly take action, but to act as an intermediary to mediate and change the form of the battle, so that the struggle does not directly break out on the Oasis warship.”

“Instead, reduce the intensity and use a ring competition to determine the ownership of the Oasis warship.”

“At that time, the Bishop intends to hand over the warship key of the command control room to you. It is the key to restarting the Oasis's advance. Only by mastering it can you drive the warship after the Holy Spring Day's rest and sail on dry land…”

Hearing Su An's plan, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed:

“The number of second-tier evolvers in the church is obviously lower than that of the Li family and other rebels. It is clear that a melee would be more advantageous. How could they agree to your one-on-one duel?”

“Moreover, the Li family and others have already heard about your Wasteland Wolf Source Quality Transformation Plan, so it is even more impossible for them to agree.”

Father Su An nodded, staring at Lin Feng:

“So, we need you, we need your pressure, to force the Li family to agree to a ring competition and let them send out their strongest combat power to fairly challenge the church.”

“Whoever wins, you will hand over the warship key to them.”

“At that time, you will sit on the warship, and whoever dares to violate the rules, you will directly destroy the warship.”

“Anyway, you are the person who needs the warship the least, and handing over the key to you, letting you be the intermediate referee, the Li family and others will also agree with both hands.”

Lin Feng frowned slightly, still doubtful:

“What if the Li family refuses to agree?”

Father Su An smiled and explained:

“They will agree, because the other second-tier evolvers are just being coerced into joining the rebellion and don't really want to dedicate their lives to the Li family's selfish desires.”

“Now that there is a more moderate solution that does not endanger their industries and interests, all the leaders except the Li family will agree with both hands.”

“Moreover, even if the Li family loses in the end, they will not be directly liquidated, at most they will pay a huge fine.”

“It won't deteriorate into a situation of endless fighting.”

“Furthermore, keeping the Oasis warship intact is of great benefit to both sides, so there is no need to worry about being swallowed by the Scorching Sun Forbidden Zone due to damage to the hull.”

Lin Feng nodded in deep agreement with Su An's precise analysis.

Even if the Li family had a hundred unwillingness, they couldn't resist the recognition of other partners.

Especially when there is a better way to go, unless the Li family wants to use two second-tier evolvers to fight against the entire Oasis Town.

The Bishop was indeed far-sighted, worthy of being an old man who had lived for hundreds of years. With a little trick, he resolved the current dead end.

At the same time, he paved the way for himself later.

So Lin Feng agreed without hesitation:

“Okay, I promise you, I will take care of Su Yueyue, and at the same time stand up for the church and let the Li family accept the ring competition method to reduce the intensity of the war in Oasis Town.”

Seeing Lin Feng's sincere and serious expression, Father Su An breathed a sigh of relief. It was not in vain that he gave Lin Feng a long analysis of the pros and cons, persuading him with emotion and reasoning.

Now that the general trend had been set, only some minor matters remained.

Father Su An then said:

“I will trouble you with Su Yueyue's matter. After the matter is resolved, I will baptize her with Holy Spring Water once, and at the same time explain the key points to pay attention to. When I take office as the Oasis Bishop, I will take her back.”

Lin Feng nodded, then remembered something:

“This so-called Oasis Key…”

“Is it the round golden badge in the Bishop's hand during the Holy Spring Day?”
