Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

As Xu Wanfeng's countdown began, Lin Feng directly activated the high-performance movement mode of the power armor.

The three-second countdown, plus the start, meant a full four seconds passed, and the figure of the power armor transformed into an afterimage as it retreated to one side.

At this moment, the pilot inside was choosing the optimal movement route.

Before Lin Feng even appeared, the armor's combat system had already meticulously scanned the entire valley terrain of the arena.

However, what made Lin Feng feel fortunate was that this time, the boundary of the arena included the three hundred-meter-high hills surrounding the valley floor.

This meant that as long as he didn't climb over the hills, it wouldn't be considered out of bounds.

This was actually advantageous to Lin Feng, because going uphill would give him a high-ground advantage, and the weapons in Lin Feng's hands could directly cover the entire arena area.

Xu Wanfeng was still biased towards Lin Feng.

Otherwise, if only the valley floor was used as the arena, Li Hao would be able to approach Lin Feng more easily.

While Lin Feng turned and fled, creating distance, Li Hao, standing on the other side of Xu Wanfeng, remained unmoved in his original position.

At this moment, he was wearing heavy armor more than three meters tall.

This level 25 Rock Horse Armor was a full three and a half meters tall and more than two meters wide, looking very bulky.

But don't underestimate this armor. On the sides of its arms, there were rectangular pieces of ceramic steel armor. The torso was also covered with thick ceramic steel, thirty centimeters wide.

And its protective ability was equivalent to more than one meter of reinforced concrete, enough to withstand a 150mm ordinary howitzer. Only depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles had the possibility of penetrating it.

When Li Hao was a prominent figure in Holy City, he had the honor of seeing many Tier 2 firearm ability users. Although they were rare, there were still a few well-known firearm ability users in Holy City, which had a population of millions.

Therefore, he was very aware of the lower limit of the strength of firearm ability users in the early stages of Tier 2.

That was the power of ordinary artillery fire.

The lethality of artillery shells lies in the shock waves and fragments produced by the explosion, but the actual armor-piercing ability is very limited. For example, a half-meter-thick reinforced concrete wall can withstand a standard 155mm howitzer shell.

Someone like Lin Feng, a level 22 firearm ability user, even if the damage of a 'Destructive Strike' was enough to threaten Tier 2 late-stage existences, his ordinary attacks could only deal with ordinary Tier 2 mid-stage evolutionaries.

Against the Tier 2 mid-stage Rock Horn Horse, known for its defense, it was simply not worth mentioning.

And the level 25 Rock Horse Armor, built with a Tier 2 mid-stage Rock Horn Horse, could also withstand multiple attacks.

Moreover, as long as it wasn't a direct hit, it could even ignore the residual power of the explosion's shock wave.

The initial velocity of a cannonball is approximately 300 meters per second, which is relatively close to the speed of sound. By observing the position of the muzzle, one can roughly judge the final impact point of the fired cannonball.

Therefore, beyond 300 meters, Li Hao had more than one second to judge.

He only needed to move a dozen meters to easily dodge.

This, for the Rock Horse Armor, which had a basic movement speed of nearly 100 meters per second, had no impact other than consuming a little more energy.

Therefore, in Li Hao's view, the farther Lin Feng was from him, the safer he was.

The real danger was in the range between 100 meters and 300 meters.

Within this range, it would take him one or two seconds to launch an attack and get close to Lin Feng, while Lin Feng could compress his attack to less than one second.

Seeing Lin Feng piloting the power armor and escaping more than 400 meters away in four seconds, Li Hao didn't panic and retreated to hide behind a pile of rubble.

Xu Wanfeng, as the referee, also moved to the top of a small hill on the side.

From here, she could have a panoramic view of the entire valley arena.

The camera sensors of the power armor could clearly capture the figures of the two in the arena.

Xu Wanfeng, as a guild member transferred from Holy City, was also familiar with the abilities of firearm ability users and understood why Li Hao was so calm.

But as long as the two sides didn't break out into fierce conflict, the plan could proceed smoothly.

In Xu Wanfeng's opinion, Li Hao's proposal for a spar was not only to test Lin Feng's true strength, but also to erase everyone's fear of firearm ability users.

Previously, Lin Feng's weapon experiment had shocked the high-level officials of various forces in Oasis Town, especially among the rebels, where many late-stage Tier 1 individuals showed signs of retreating and surrendering.

This seriously affected Li Hao's plan to seize power.

Therefore, as long as he easily defeated the opponent, he could reduce Lin Feng to an ordinary Tier 2 evolutionary, just one with more powerful firepower.

Wearing the Rock Horse Armor was enough to resist his threat.

As for the deeper purpose, it was to see if there was a chance to directly injure or cripple Lin Feng, thereby breaking the passive situation faced by the rebels.

And this was what Xu Wanfeng wanted to stop.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have given the Tier 2 combat module to Lin Feng through her sister, Xu Wan Shuang, to prevent a complete defeat in close combat.

But from the perspective of the guild's interests, Xu Wanfeng was happy to see Li Hao give Lin Feng a little color.

After all, since he advanced to Tier 2, he had been too confident and arrogant. If he could encounter some setbacks earlier and recognize his own strength, it would be beneficial to his future development and cooperation with the guild.

The key was the degree in between.

Therefore, Xu Wanfeng focused most of her attention on Lin Feng's figure to avoid accidents.

At this moment, after the start of the competition, Lin Feng had retreated 400 meters away in four seconds, less than 100 meters from the small hill behind him.

This distance was the limit. Once Li Hao, wearing the Rock Horse Armor, followed, a single iron-mountain-leaning impact could directly knock him out of bounds.

But with the hill as a cushion, even if Lin Feng was really knocked away, he would at most fall to the foot of the hill.

Unfortunately, the imagined pursuit did not happen.

The rear camera of the power armor captured Li Hao's retreating figure.

Therefore, after reaching the intended position, Lin Feng also stopped and turned around to raise the two level 22 weapons in his hands.

At this moment, the armor-piercing cannon was ready to fire, waiting for the opponent to chase after him, and then, in coordination with the high-explosive rapid-firing cannon, he would unleash a fierce barrage on Li Hao.

It was just that the opponent was not fooled.

Because of the heavy characteristics of the Rock Horse Armor, it could not explode with extreme speed. Once he pursued, he would be far behind Lin Feng's power armor.

And the experienced Li Hao used the terrain advantage to hide in a pile of rubble.

The shell of the Rock Horse Armor turned gray-yellow, consistent with the terrain of the wasteland.

Once he hid and remained still, it would be difficult to be discovered beyond 100 meters.

Lin Feng frowned slightly. The combat assistance system of the power armor only recorded the approximate area where Li Hao was hiding, within the pile of rocks 600 to 700 meters away.

Relying solely on the power of the armor-piercing cannon was not enough to shatter all these five- or six-meter-large boulders, let alone the high-explosive rapid-firing cannon.

Moreover, the armor-piercing cannon only had 150 rounds of ammunition, which could not be wasted.

But what worried Lin Feng the most was the power consumption of the armor now that it had entered high-performance mode.

Li Hao's move was clearly intended to stall for time.

The opponent clearly knew that as a general-purpose power armor, all aspects were average, very balanced, and the only flaw was the battery life.

At most one and a half hours, and high-performance mode was less than half an hour.

Continuing to drag on like this, even if he didn't take the initiative, he could make Lin Feng anxious.

And at this moment, just as Li Hao had planned, in order to break the situation as soon as possible, Lin Feng chose to take the initiative, even if it would expose his existence.

The power armor was activated again, and with a flash, it moved forward more than a hundred meters.

At this moment, the distance was enough to lock onto any movement within five hundred meters.

The area where the Rock Horse Armor might be hiding was within this range.

Lin Feng immediately raised the high-speed rapid-fire cannon in his hand and aimed at the target area.

The rapid-fire cannon had a spatial ammunition reserve of up to 1,500 rounds, and its power was equivalent to a 105mm howitzer, enough to destroy light armor.

But for the Rock Horse Armor, it was like tickling, leaving at most a shallow pit mark.

However, Lin Feng didn't care about these. As long as the rapid-fire cannon had enough ammunition, it could cover this thousand-square-meter area several times over.

Although it couldn't directly shatter large rocks, it could blast them apart.

When the Rock Horse Armor, after being hit, stood intact in the ruins, it would be obvious at a glance.

Lin Feng immediately pulled the trigger and began to act.

One high-explosive rapid-fire round after another poured out of the fist-sized muzzle like flowing water, and fell evenly into the rubble pile like a hailstorm.

As the sound of explosions rang out, it spread in all directions.

The entire rubble pile area was completely covered with a shell every ten square meters, stirring up a cloud of smoke.

The recoil of the high-explosive rapid-fire cannon was very low, at least for Lin Feng, who was at level twenty-two, it was not worth mentioning at all.

The only problem was the overheating of the barrel.

To cover the thousands of square meters of rubble, at least a hundred rapid-fire rounds had to be fired.

Fortunately, as an imprinted equipment, this small problem did not affect the firing of the rapid-fire cannon. With the automatic mode of the Extreme Pursuit attribute, the firing rate of ten rounds per second, it took Lin Feng less than two minutes to completely cover the rubble pile where the target was located.

For a time, smoke filled the air, and sand and dust rose everywhere.

Forming a gray-yellow smoky area.

Lin Feng cautiously hid and waited quietly for the smoke to dissipate.

At this moment, a breeze blew, blowing away the fine sand in the stirred-up smoke, and in just three or four minutes, the scorched yellow and black rubble surface gradually emerged.

As many as a hundred smoking black pits neatly appeared in the rubble pile area, and the terrain that could have served as camouflage and cover no longer existed.

Lin Feng's expression instantly tensed up, and the power armor's scan, combined with his own perception, locked onto the target area.

Li Hao, wearing the Rock Horse Armor, seeing that his camouflage ambush strategy had been cracked, no longer delayed, and instead used the cover of the smoke to find an opportunity to strike.

When the smoke gradually dissipated, a dark figure suddenly appeared in the edge area of the rubble pile.

Lin Feng was as if facing a formidable enemy and immediately raised his gun to aim.

But then he suddenly realized that the experienced Li Hao could not be so blatant, exposing himself four or five hundred meters away.

Even if he tried his best, it would take him two to three seconds to rush straight to the front at this distance.

Lin Feng could easily repel him by using the artillery in his hand to aim, or escape the attack by bursting out with extreme speed.

Therefore, Lin Feng, with a tense expression, did not choose the optimal response plan of the combat assistance system, raising his gun to aim and shoot, but continued to maintain vigilance around him.

And in the next second, just as Lin Feng expected...

The dark shadow that appeared in the smoke was not Li Hao's Rock Horse Armor, but just a giant rock that had been erected.

The size was similar to the Rock Horse Armor.

But it was just a disguised dead object.

But before Lin Feng could react, a pile of rubble flew rapidly from the area where a depression was located on the other side of the rubble pile in less than a second.

The real Rock Horse Armor had struck!

Li Hao, as an old fox who had lived for hundreds of years, rose from the wastelands and had always exhausted all means to kill his targets or opponents.

He would use all the conditions at hand to put the target in a passive situation before choosing to launch an attack.

In fact, as early as when Lin Feng chose to bomb the boulder pile hiding area where Li Hao was located, the Rock Horse Armor had already left this place under the cover of the gunfire and smoke.

At the same time, he piled up several giant rocks to confuse Lin Feng's vision and judgment.

Then, after lurking in another direction.

Waiting for Lin Feng to nervously stare at the rubble area after the bombing, he seized the opportunity, picked up the collected large and small stones, and smashed them hard towards the rear of Lin Feng's cover.

Although the Rock Horse Armor worn by Li Hao does not have a speed bonus, it is stronger than the power armor in terms of strength.

50% of the strength is the result of Lin Feng's multiple enhancements, but this is only the starting point of the Rock Horse Armor. The level twenty-five armor worn by Li Hao can have at least about 70% strength enhancement.

Coupled with his sixty tons of basic strength, he can have more than a hundred tons of terrifying explosive power.

With the blessing of this power, even the rubble thrown out at will is as dangerous as a cannonball.

When thrown with all his strength, he can even make some hard rocks approach the speed of sound and hit the target.

From ancient times to the present, no matter how human technology evolves, it cannot escape boiling water and throwing stones. Boiling water is to solve the energy problem, and throwing stones is the method of attack.

Lin Feng's use of artillery shells is also throwing stones, but using the impact of gunpowder to stimulate the throwing, and the head is also filled with explosives to increase the striking power.

And Li Hao's method is to increase the speed attribute of the stone and increase the impact power of hitting the target.

But don't underestimate these rubble stones. When they fly at a speed of a dozen meters per second, they have no lethality to the titanium alloy power armor.

But once the speed increases to a certain level, the threat will rise sharply.

At this moment, these stones flying at near the speed of sound made Lin Feng's whole body tense up instantly.

Although being hit by them would not cause too much damage, it would easily damage the durability of the power armor, and even at some weakly defended joints, it would easily cause a jamming problem after being hit.

Fortunately, the armor that detected extreme danger directly activated the highest authority of the combat assistance system, and immediately burst out with extreme speed, transferred its position, and avoided the attack.

While Lin Feng let the auxiliary system take over his feet, he turned his head and raised his gun.

The Rock Horse Armor that threw a large amount of rubble had already rushed over.

The entire valley surface of the arena trembled slightly as this giant beast rushed at extreme speed.

In the first confrontation, Li Hao caught Lin Feng off guard and disintegrated many of his advantages.
