Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Accompanying Xu Wanshuang onto the Oasis, Lin Feng noticed that the atmosphere within the warship had become somewhat different.

The narrow and cramped passageway, though always oppressive, at least had some semblance of life; the lower-level servants of the warship, no longer wearing their usual relaxed smiles, were now deathly silent.

They knew that although their lives were hard, they at least had food and drink, and were not short of water, making it a secure job compared to the desperate struggle for survival on the wasteland.

Every day, they only needed to work hard to maintain the operation of the Oasis warship and support the mascots and storage devices in the upper district.

Indeed, the so-called Oasis upper citizens were nothing more than information storage devices in the Blazing Sun Forbidden Zone, a group of carefully cultivated living wetware.

Even so, under the overt and covert struggles of various forces in Oasis Town, a relaxed parliamentary environment was formed, and the Church, out of mercy, still granted the Oasis upper citizens a full hundred years of free life.

Such generous treatment and environment only changed their lifespan from the original five hundred years to a normal one hundred years; how many wasteland evolutionaries, struggling in the harsh environment of water and food shortages, had their lifespans sharply reduced to just over two hundred years…

The dreamlike life of the upper district was something they could not obtain.

But now, such good days were coming to an end; no matter who ultimately won, they would break the original fragile balance and stability.

The rebel army, including the Li family, would not tolerate the upper district's excessive consumption of Oasis resources and continued waste of manpower and material resources.

And after the Holy City Diocese took over, in order to support a new Tier 3 Bishop, it would inevitably carry out a drastic reform of Oasis Town, squeezing all Oasis resources to the limit.

Therefore, for most people who depended on the Oasis for survival, what was happening in the Oasis was not a good thing.

Even if the rebel army, including the Li family, got their wish, only a small number of people at the top would still be able to obtain the reform dividends, and the Oasis warship would also be purged.

Of the eight thousand servants, only a portion of the workers who maintained the operation of the Oasis warship would have the value of staying and continuing to perform their duties; the rest of the personnel who served the upper district would either be massively laid off and expelled, or their treatment would plummet and become true slaves.

Their lives and deaths were all at the whim of those in power.

Only a small portion of them came from various villages and families; although these people had the opportunity to turn over, they were more worried about the failure of the rebellion affecting them.

Needless to say, the vast majority of them relied entirely on the compromise and balance after the various forces competed, and could only implement a parliamentary system to discuss and decide on strategies, thus giving the lower-level people more resources and living space.

Once the balance was broken, the final winner would take all…

Then, power and resources would naturally concentrate, and then implement cruel high-pressure policies.

So Lin Feng saw that the Oasis servants, who were originally just tired, were now either gloomy, worried, or uneasy.

It was just that the final result was inevitable for any force to move towards centralization and unification after developing to a certain stage.

Regardless of whether there was a dimensional strike from the Holy City Diocese, the relationship between the Oasis Church and the various families would also trigger fierce infighting due to the development of the Oasis's scale, eventually determining the only winner, concentrating resources, and pushing itself to a higher evolutionary level.

Lin Feng was powerless to change anything, nor did he want to interfere.

Resisting the torrent of historical development was like an ant trying to stop a chariot; even a Tier 3 King could not make any waves.

Even if Lin Feng had the heart to save this wasteland apocalypse that was gradually sliding into hell, he would have to wait until he walked his own path and became a transcendent being above Tier 3 who could suppress the gods.

After hurriedly passing through the narrow passageway, Lin Feng quickly followed Xu Wanshuang to the upper district at the highest level of the Oasis.

As things stood, even the atmosphere here had become dull, no longer with the laughter of the past.

Many young upper citizens were unwilling to go out anymore.

Instead, they stood in their houses, silently observing Lin Feng and Xu Wanshuang walking on the street through the cracks in the curtains.

At this time, compared to when he first arrived, Lin Feng's appearance had not changed much, but in terms of physique, there had been earth-shattering changes.

Originally only a little over 1.8 meters tall, he had now reached more than 2 meters, just like the former Father Su An.

Coupled with a set of power armor, his entire body shape was even reaching about 2.5 meters, appearing extremely tall and mighty.

At the moment, Lin Feng did not wear the smart helmet, showing his head, revealing a kind smile, giving people a full sense of security.

Many upper citizens hiding in their homes couldn't help but stare at Lin Feng all the way until he disappeared on the street into the Church district at the bow of the ship.

After entering the Church, Lin Feng and Xu Wanshuang were immediately taken to the interior of the cathedral and met the Bishop.

At this moment, the Oasis Bishop was wearing a gorgeous gold and white Church robe, with a half-meter-high hat on his head, inlaid with a fist-sized golden Church emblem.

Seeing Lin Feng and Xu Wanshuang, Bishop Zhang Hui smiled and slowly opened his mouth, making a low and vicissitudes of voice:

"Come on, they have been waiting for a long time."

"Regarding the Oasis, we'll talk as we walk."

After saying that, he led the two to the inside of the cathedral.

After pressing a button under the podium in front, a tunnel appeared in the high platform behind.

Zhang Hui continued:

"The real command and control room of the Oasis warship is not at the top or at the front and rear bows and sterns, but at the central position in front of the warship."

"This is to ensure the safety of the command and control room."

"And although a command room is also set up outside the bow of the ship behind the Church, it is only responsible for observation, observing the situation in front and outside, and transmitting information to the real command and control room inside."

"The reason why the command and control room is called 'control' is because it can directly control the warship's power system and also control the warship's direction of advance."

"So only by controlling it can you completely control the entire Oasis warship."

Speaking of this, the Bishop had already led Lin Feng and Xu Wanshuang into the narrow secret passage.

This passage was only three meters high and two meters wide, only enough for Lin Feng to pass through alone, and it was impossible to walk side by side.

In addition, with a heavy armor weighing nearly half a ton, Lin Feng did not dare to walk too fast, for fear of causing damage to the passage.

Therefore, the speed of the crowd's progress was very slow.

The Bishop was also able to continue introducing the precautions for keeping the Oasis key safe.

In fact, these words were all said to Lin Feng, and Xu Wanshuang, who was also sent to guard the key, was directly ignored.

The woman wearing light armor, walking at the end, did not care about the Bishop's disregard; after all, it was superfluous for the Hunter Guild to be sent together to guard the key.

The Guild Leader also had ulterior motives, and had told Xu Wanshuang in advance that it was just a formality to let the Li family and others see the Guild's attitude.

In fact, she also knew very well that with Lin Feng present, even if she personally came, she could not interfere with the plans between Lin Feng and the Church.

Sending Xu Wanshuang was nothing more than wanting her sister to have more contact and communication with Lin Feng, so as to lay the groundwork for future in-depth cooperation.

As for Xu Wanfeng himself, he still had to participate in the arena competition, act as a judge, ensure the accuracy of the competition results, and avoid escalating conflicts.

Soon, Xu Wanfeng's figure appeared at the end of the passage.

Seeing this, Bishop Zhang couldn't help but speed up his speech:

"Remember, the Oasis Key controls the Oasis's power furnace, regulating the delivery of power or closing the passages. Only in this way can the warship be controlled."

"Other controls, such as the steering wheel for changing course and areas for operating the warship's other functions, are all integrated within the control room. Mastering the Oasis Key means becoming the captain of the Oasis, commanding the entire warship forward."

"After temporarily entrusting the Oasis Key to you, you will be the acting captain for the next four days."

"And the person with the highest status on the entire Oasis."

"Besides these, you must also take on the responsibility of the Oasis's safety, constantly paying attention to the images of the Oasis Avenue and the surrounding area transmitted from the watchtower."

"This time, the Li family has been plotting for a long time with fierce eyes, surely with thorough preparations. We have only seen the enemy's overt arrangements; we cannot predict what other hidden cards they have."

"Among these, there might be methods of soliciting outside help, such as gathering vagrant forces, inviting wolves into the house, and the like."

"Your task is to monitor the situation around the Oasis. Once you discover traces of the enemy, you must issue a warning as soon as possible and prepare for a response."

Speaking of this, Bishop Zhang Hui saw that Lin Feng's expression was somewhat unnatural, and thinking that he had spoken too harshly, he then comforted him:

"However, don't worry too much. There is always a risk control team I arranged in the command control room, so it's not truly requiring you to work with high-intensity nerve tension."

"You only need to listen to the team's recommendations and issue orders based on the real-time development of the situation."

"We have also made arrangements for other response plans. Your main task is to guard the Oasis Key, and secondly, to ensure the safety of the Oasis warship."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ novel ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ book ⊥ bar ⊥ first ⊥ issue!

"Even if the two sides eventually break out into war, the warship's safety must be guaranteed, even at the expense of the other five villages."

"For this reason, I have authorized the team to use the basic firepower equipped on the Oasis. At the same time, young friend Lin can also use his own artillery weapons for support."

Lin Feng nodded, understanding the meaning of the Bishop's words.

Earlier, when he mentioned the Li family's hidden moves, colluding with the vagrant forces of the wasteland, Lin Feng almost couldn't hold it in.

Because the person who truly has connections with the vagrant forces is actually himself.

And in this calculation, Lin Feng, who controls the Oasis Key, wouldn't he become a character who guards and steals?

But anyway, Oasis Town doesn't belong to him. Lin Feng is at most temporarily holding it, and only for a four-day period. Plus, the five villages are not within the core protection range, so if they really have to be ceded to the Salvation Army, so be it.

Lin Feng believed that even the Bishop would agree to this condition.

After all, the focus of this struggle is on the Oasis warship, not the villages and tribes where the enemies are located.

Only by first protecting the Oasis warship can there be subsequent contact and cooperation with the Holy City Bishopric; otherwise, Lin Feng, who has already entered the game, will also be labeled as a rebel and become one of the scapegoats for the Oasis's destruction.

And the Bishop has been managing the Oasis for many years, naturally leaving behind many backup plans.

Lin Feng wasn't worried about any external forces interfering.

As long as nothing happens within the Oasis, even if the outside world is torn apart or a large army attacks, Lin Feng is fully confident that he can isolate all threats.

After all, the Meltdown Obliteration Cannon of Twenty-Seven after synthesis, even a late-stage Second Order Evolver would have to avoid it.

After nodding to assure the Bishop, Lin Feng followed him out of the secret passage and arrived at a vast area.

This is the central section of the Oasis's front half.

A space that is fully five meters wide and ten meters long.

However, the height is still only three meters. Lin Feng, in his power armor, didn't dare to take big steps; a slight jump would cause him to hit the steel ceiling.

And here, besides the passage behind, there were two other entrances in different directions, connecting to two different directions respectively.

Guild Master Xu Wanfeng walked out from one of these passages, while at the other entrance stood Li Hao, the Li family head, who had just fought with Lin Feng.

At this time, Li Hao had returned to normal, and the wound on his left shoulder had also healed as before.

During the life-and-death battle at the time, Lin Feng, after using the Brand Armor's refined steel wolf blade, only broke through the opponent's Rock Horse Armor defense, tearing the biological armor's internal tissues.

The actual damage to the pilot Li Hao's main body was at most only two or three centimeters in depth.

Such an injury hadn't even reached the point of affecting the bones. For a Second Order Evolver, it would automatically scab and heal in a few hours, and the scab would fall off in a day or two, revealing brand new skin.

But Lin Feng's comminuted fracture of his left forearm would take at least three or four days to fully recover; right now, he could only barely exert strength.

Now that the two met again, Lin Feng showed a "kind" smile, a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

The latter acted as if the previous events hadn't happened. Li Hao smiled and said:

"Sorry, Leader Lin, I was a little negligent in the sparring this afternoon, and accidentally didn't restrain my strength. However, Leader Lin is extraordinarily talented and has a battle talent that is not weaker than a mid-stage Second Order. Only a few days after being promoted to the Second Order, you were able to block my punch. Truly, a hero emerges from youth, the younger generation is to be feared..."

After speaking, he glanced at Bishop Zhang and Xu Wanshuang behind Lin Feng with a non-smiling smile.

Lin Feng had no interest in Li Hao's flattery, only nodded politely, then looked deep into the passage.

Ten meters away, behind an iron gate, stood two fully armed, tall guards.

Their aura was only slightly weaker than Lin Feng and the others.

Both were level nineteen at the upper limit of the First Order.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. These two guards were naturally the four battle high priests of the Oasis Church.

And Lin Feng had only ever seen two of them, from initially following Shen Yue, secretly watching the Moon Night Ritual, to later discovering two high priests in Holy Spring Village, secretly guarding Su An Divine Father's Wasteland Wolf Origin extraction...

The other two high priests had never been seen.

Now, it turned out that they had always been arranged here to ensure the safety of the Oasis command control room.

The two high priests, wearing specially made church armor, were naturally no weaker than early-stage Second Order Evolvers.

Moreover, they were originally elite warriors who had experienced countless battles. Lin Feng estimated that even with the combat module's assistance, he wouldn't be confident in defeating them in close combat.

But right now, they are protecting the control room, and by the same logic, they are also protecting the Oasis Key...

So Lin Feng wasn't worried.

Soon, the handover ceremony began.

Under everyone's gaze, Bishop Zhang slowly took out the golden emblem from his platinum robe, which was as big as a basketball.

Lin Feng took it from his hand and instantly felt a heavy force.

This thing is definitely not pure gold.

The weight is heavier than gold.

It's just plated with a layer of gold on the outside.

When the Oasis Key was completely in hand, along with the heavy feeling, there was also an extremely strong energy fluctuation.

Inside, there is the aura of the Third Order!
