Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

#226 - The oriole is behind, single crystal glass, laser weapons

Upon hearing Lin Feng's command, Shen Yue immediately stopped and turned to walk towards the outer gate.

At the edge of the Upper District, there was a passage leading from the top level to the levels below.

These passages were quite spacious, about three meters high and four meters wide, allowing Lin Feng to easily enter and exit even while wearing power armor.

This was unlike the narrow and cramped passages at the bottom and inside the battleship, where power armor had no room to maneuver and light armor was more suitable for combat.

After entering, Lin Feng quickly led Shen Yue through a more hidden passage towards the rear.

A curfew had been imposed in the Upper District during the night, prohibiting loud noises to avoid disturbing the residents' rest.

Patrol guards were stationed only in the outer passages to prevent anyone from breaking into the top level or the residents from secretly escaping.

Shen Yue slowly opened her mouth and said in a low voice:

"The patrol in this passage is not strict, with about four squads making a round every hour, and they are all members of the Church."

"They are not really worried about outsiders breaking in, because to reach the top level, one must navigate the complex lower-level passages, and few can make it this far."

"Besides, most of the stairs leading from this outer passage to the lower levels are equipped with cameras, and if any suspicious person is spotted, an alarm will be triggered."

Lin Feng nodded. He knew about the cameras, which were monitored by a team in the command and control room at all times:

"Let's go, keep it down, and don't alert anyone. We'll enter directly from behind the Oasis Garden."

With the perception ability of a Tier 2 Evolver, Lin Feng could easily detect any movement within a hundred meters, and he led Shen Yue forward cautiously.

Soon, the two of them made their way from the bow to the rear of the ship, to the Oasis Garden, and pushed open a hidden small gate, returning to the Upper District.

It was currently the transition between day and night. Although there was no such concept beneath the Oasis, the distinction between day and night was emphasized above the Oasis to ensure the Upper Residents' healthy routines and mental well-being.

The diligence of the patrols was also at its most lax during the transition between day and night, creating loopholes that enemies could exploit.

Shen Yue also noticed this and planned to remember it, reminding the Battle Priest captain in charge of the patrol.

The two successfully bypassed the eyes and ears of the Upper District and stealthily arrived behind the Oasis Garden, where the caretaker in charge of guarding the garden was just locking the iron gate at the entrance.

The caretaker had Late Tier 1 strength and was an Upper District staff member, with a higher status than the Upper Residents waiting to be sacrificed, and would not face the fate of being sacrificed.

Moreover, a Late Tier 1 Evolver was considered the entry-level for the Oasis's evolutionary hierarchy. Reaching this level meant one could have a good job and treatment even in the Holy City.

Once Oasis Town was taken over by the Holy City Diocese and changed its ways, these regional managers would continue to be entrusted with important tasks.

Places like the Oasis Garden were usually only needed for the Holy Spring Day's Moonlit Night Ritual, requiring the people inside to be cleared out in advance.

At ordinary times, it was enough to patrol once, confirm that no one was inside, and then lock up and leave.

As long as no one from the lower levels broke in, generally no one in the Upper District would damage the garden, especially that giant focusing lens.

So, after locking the garden entrance, this late-stage Evolver, who was over three hundred years old, left directly and returned to his apartment to rest.

Lin Feng pulled Shen Yue, hiding in the shadows of a corner, concealing their presence.

After the caretaker walked away and disappeared not far away, the two did not act rashly, but remained silent, waiting for their prey to take the bait.

Those people would not act directly yet, infiltrating the control room below the Oasis Garden, but they would definitely come to scout the way in advance.

During the day, there were too many people and eyes, so they could only observe, but only when there was no one around at night could they delve deeper into the surroundings of the giant lens to find the secret room entrance.

Lin Feng and the other waited quietly, patiently like experienced hunters.

Soon, two or three hours later, around nine o'clock at night, Lin Feng sensed several Upper Residents leaving their residences in the Upper District and approaching the garden.

Until they approached the garden, Shen Yue, who was closing her eyes to rest beside Lin Feng, also noticed something, suddenly opening her eyes and looking towards a certain place, a look of vigilance appearing in her eyes.

Lin Feng put his index finger to his lips, making a gesture of silence. Shen Yue immediately understood and said nothing more.

When these people arrived at the stairs of the garden, they tiptoed to the top floor and then used wire tools to open the old-fashioned iron lock.

The group quietly pushed open the iron railing gate and entered the dimly lit interior of the garden.

At this moment, the light in the garden was very dim, and the flowerbeds and bushes in the background were only dark silhouettes, like black and white cutout pictures.

Being in it felt like walking in a midnight forest, eerie and filled with an uncanny mystery.

The giant lens that was originally meant to refract external light was now laid flat, no longer receiving external rays.

When closing the Oasis Garden, the caretaker also closed the windows at the rear of the battleship to prevent light from shining into the Upper District through the lens.

So, the garden was now the darkest place, with visibility less than ten meters.

Therefore, this group of young Upper Residents with ulterior motives could only rely on limited visibility, carefully searching under and around the lens, looking for the mechanism to open the passage.

Near the garden, this group was also very cautious, leaving three people to guard the entrances of the three streets, acting as sentries.

At the slightest sign of trouble, they would make a commotion, both to attract the attention of the patrol and to remind their companions in charge of searching inside the garden.

Even if these sentries were caught, they would only be guilty of leaving without permission. Although there was a curfew and the Upper District of the Oasis had always had a rule of not leaving the house at night, they were, after all, members of the Upper District, with noble status and great value…

So, even if there was a punishment, it would probably be house arrest or becoming a sacrifice at the Moonlit Night Ritual ahead of schedule.

This was a very safe and reliable plan.

Enough to allow this group of traitors to complete the Li family's mission and find the control of the Oasis battleship's secret weapon.

However, they forgot one thing: if the patrol team was always under or inside the Oasis Garden, then even setting up sentries would be of little use.

So, not long after this group went up, Lin Feng immediately took off his bulky power armor, taking only two Level 19-devolved fire cannons and the Oasis Key stored close to his body, and stepped onto the stairs, heading to the garden.

At this moment, Shen Yue behind him was about to call the patrol team for tonight, but Lin Feng stopped her in time.

The reason was simple: this group had not yet found the location of the hidden control room. Even if they were arrested now, as long as they insisted that they were only there to find lost items or an escape route…

With their status as Upper Residents, they would still not be severely punished as long as the security of the Oasis was not involved.

And the secret of the Light Prism Curse was probably only known to the High Priest Captain of the control room and the Bishop.

To understand, Lin Feng couldn't reveal a deliberate search; he needed these people to "accidentally" discover it, and then encourage Shen Yue to follow him.

With that in mind, Lin Feng pulled the woman and hid deep within the woods, quietly waiting for the young upper-class citizen to find the control room.

Soon enough, a commotion arose beneath the giant lens not far away.

Lin Feng's eyes were sharp, and with the precise lock of his multiple senses, he saw someone leave the garden's surface.

They discovered a hidden door covered by turf.

Leading to the control room beneath the lens.

So the leading commander arranged for two first-tier early-stage upper-class citizens to guard above, while he led the remaining three members to explore inside.

Lin Feng immediately took action.

Without the constraints of powered armor, Lin Feng, as a second-tier evolver, could silently arrive behind the target in an instant.

Although his burst speed was only a hundred meters per second, the distance between them was less than twenty meters; in the blink of an eye, the two upper-class citizens slumped to the ground.

Leaving behind the silhouette of Lin Feng waving his hands.

He used his hand as a blade, gently tapping the back of the target's neck, directly shattering the nervous system inside, and the brain was also struck into a state of crash, falling unconscious.

The force used was only a mere two or three tons.

After easily dealing with the target, Shen Yue belatedly reacted and quickly stepped forward to tie the two men's hands and feet with special restraints, while grabbing a rag to stuff their mouths.

After completing all this, she nodded to Lin Feng.

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

The two then turned their attention to the hidden entrance emitting a faint light.

It was only one square meter in size, barely enough for two people to go down at the same time; there were no stairs inside the opening, but rather a folded metal ladder.

Lin Feng then walked into it. After thinking for a while, Shen Yue decided to wait for him to complete everything before going down to take over.

Firstly, the space was narrow, and her following would easily affect Lin Feng's performance. Secondly, if there were any unspeakable secrets below, it was best for her not to know.

Shen Yue was quite self-aware. By now, she probably vaguely realized that Lin Feng's purpose might be this secret passage, the connected secret room...

The so-called investigation and arrest of internal traitors was just for a reasonable explanation.

Just as she expected, after entering the secret room, Lin Feng only took two seconds to knock out the three first-tier mid-stage evolvers who had entered.

Mainly because it happened suddenly, and Lin Feng had the advantage of making the first move, even without releasing the aura of a second-tier evolver, he could easily deal with the targets.

The three first-tier mid-stage upper-class citizens, including the leader, were level sixteen evolvers, equivalent to Shen Yue.

After dealing with the three and confirming that there were no survivors, Lin Feng then observed his surroundings.

This extremely secret control room was less than five square meters in size, illuminated by a faint white fluorescent lamp.

Moreover, the facilities were extremely old, like the Fifth Village's hotel; many places were rusty and red due to the garden's irrigation system.

But in the middle of the control panel, there was a steering wheel-like handle and three refracting periscopes.

Giving Lin Feng the feeling of being in an underwater submarine, coupled with the sound of the fountain's water falling from time to time...

It really gave a sense of immersion.

But Lin Feng's feeling was indeed correct, because next he saw various discarded instrument panels, pressure gauges, and depth gauge markings on the control panel, vaguely discernible.

This was dismantled from a submarine.

It is estimated that the creation of the Oasis warship also has a great origin, pieced together and mixed together.

Lin Feng quickly put away his thoughts and observed the three periscopes connected to the outside world.

He found that one of them was the observation hole at the stern.

He could see the team behind him and the distant sun.

The middle one was the direction of the lens above, and the operating handle next to it also controlled it.

The one on the far side was the light source of the lens, directly focused on the bow of the ship.

In short, with the cooperation of the three lenses, the giant lens above could be completely controlled, thereby realizing the light prism curse's strike accumulation.

At this time, Shen Yue, who was still outside, saw that there was no movement in the secret passage for a long time, and then carefully walked down.

She saw Lin Feng who was observing, and the three invaders who had been knocked unconscious.

Shen Yue then took out the restraints and tied the three tightly as before, then walked to Lin Feng's side:

"This is probably the real control panel of the Moon Mirror, while the external administrator's one can only adjust the angle of the lens rotation to control the light refracted into the upper-class citizen area."

Lin Feng nodded, seeing a stack of documents placed in the opened drawer next to him.

He then took them out and flipped through them.

Shen Yue next to him wanted to remind him, but thinking of the other party's current identity and purpose, she wisely closed her mouth.

At this moment, the documents in Lin Feng's hand, in addition to a user manual for the control room, also included a cooperation manual for the light prism curse.

It was placed at the very bottom.

It said that the condensing lens needed for the light prism curse could withstand at least a thousand degrees of high temperature without deformation, and at the same time, it had to withstand a temperature difference increase of a hundred degrees per second.

Because although the light prism curse uses focused light strikes, even a third-tier king cannot escape the speed, but the damage of the strike takes time to accumulate.

Taking a thousand damage within five kilometers as an example, it also takes one second to achieve.

And the power of this one second of a thousand points of damage needs to be charged for at least ten seconds in advance, so that the lens can gather enough heat to melt everything at ten thousand degrees.

Therefore, during this process, as the rear condensing lens, the temperature will also be heated to thousands of degrees.

Like the thermal furnace at the bottom of the oasis, the production of most ordinary glass can withstand a maximum temperature of five or six hundred degrees.

Only technically strict single crystal glass can withstand higher temperatures, while being resistant to high temperatures, it can also withstand short-term drastic temperature changes.

Therefore, the conditions for realizing a super weapon like the light prism curse that can damage a third-tier king are also unusual.

Just manufacturing a single crystal glass lens as wide as twenty meters is not something ordinary forces can do.

Lin Feng put down the information he had finished reading, and then searched around, and sure enough, he found a very pure glass mirror in another cabinet.

Holding it in his hand, it was like pure water, without any impurities.

Even when looking through the glass, he could feel the existence of this glass.

"Single Crystal Glass lv20, Orange Quality"

"Basic attributes: Transparency 99.9%, maximum withstand temperature 1200°"

"An important component of laser weapons, the production process is extremely complicated, its atoms are arranged tightly according to a certain periodic rule, the surface is exceptionally smooth, almost without flaws, like a mirror. Due to the perfection of its atomic structure, single crystal glass performs excellently in optical performance and is often used in high-precision optical instruments and equipment."
