Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

"Brother Lin is right, we need a direction, not a blind search."

Li Hu, standing beside him, drank half a bottle of water and agreed:

"The wolf pack's activity range is within a 20-kilometer radius. From the Scorching Sun Restricted Area behind us to ten kilometers ahead of Oasis Town, wherever the vagrant gather, there may be wolf packs…"

"Such a large area, even if we run our legs off, we won't be able to find the wolf pack within a week. But the longer it goes on, the worse our condition will be, while the wolf pack can continuously recover and even become stronger by hunting vagrants."

The Scorching Sun Restricted Area is behind them, the area irradiated by the giant sun. The ground temperature is as high as sixty or seventy degrees Celsius, and almost no large creatures can survive there for long.

Only some tiny insects or fungi and bacteria can barely survive and hibernate underground.

Lin Feng nodded and looked at the team behind Li Hu.

The two sides had joined forces not long ago and had been circling around the front of Oasis Town for three or four hours. They wandered around until dinner time, achieving nothing, and had to pause to rest.

Just now, they found a small vagrant team along the way and inquired about the nearby situation, learning that the rumor of the Gray Reaper originated from the wild wolf pack's crazy crimes.

Moreover, due to the influence of the rumors, many vagrant teams gathered together when resting to embolden each other.

Li Hu's team, like Holy Spring's team the other day, had an iron cart and a modified tricycle for hauling goods.

There were only twelve team members left. Besides him and A'lian, the remaining ten people included four late-stage Enhancers at levels seven and eight, and the remaining six were all mid-stage.

In addition, there were also the six slaves lying on the cart. Once they found traces of the wolf pack, they would let these people down as bait to attract the wolf pack and cover the others' attack.

Half a day passed quietly, and then came the day-night rest time.

Most vagrants would stop at this time to collect nearby grass roots or crawling insects to replenish their condition and rest until the next day, when the sun rose again.

At that time, the Oasis behind them would also migrate here.

This was a day for most vagrant teams, while Chen Shanshan and her group, like in the beginning, were lagging behind because of the lack of supplies and the burden of carrying Lin Feng.

Every day, they had to suffer the threat of the Scorching Sun Restricted Area behind them.

They were hungry, thirsty, and exhausted from running around.

If they rested too long and stopped moving forward, they would be cooked into ripe people by the Scorching Sun behind them.

Therefore, the back of the Oasis was usually sparsely populated, with only some vagrant teams stopping to rest during the day and night. The wolf pack generally would not appear there.

And the best hunting opportunity was actually now.

After walking more than twenty kilometers in the daytime, experiencing a long journey of more than ten hours, most vagrants were exhausted and had to spread out to collect food.

It was a good opportunity for the wolf pack to launch an attack.

Sure enough, not long after everyone finished discussing, the carrion vulture flock above their heads began to converge in one direction.

Lin Feng ate the remaining wolf jerky in his hand and slowly stood up:

"Let's go, if we're in time, we might catch up."

Chen Shanshan and Li Hu, who also noticed the abnormal phenomenon in the sky, nodded and returned to their respective teams.

Setting off again, Lin Feng had Liu Mingfei replace Chen Shanshan in pedaling the armored tricycle to allow Chen Shanshan to replenish her energy.

Li Hu on the side did the same, sitting on the tricycle to conserve his strength and maintain the best combat state.

On the way here, Lin Feng had already informed the team members of the battle plan.

Chen Shanshan, with her perception ability, would choose her own opponent. The other four people, including Jiang Zhuo who was still recovering, were responsible for holding up four shields weighing a hundred kilograms each, forming a square formation to protect Lin Feng in the middle.

Then, he would serve as the team's firepower output, providing long-range support.

This was the situation when actively attacking the wolf pack.

More than a dozen vagrant teams had been annihilated by the Gray Reaper's scythe.

And the scene of being stared at by a dozen ferocious wild wolves when leaving to hunt rockhorn horses that day kept flashing in Liu Qian's mind.

She never thought that she would have to participate in the battle, especially when Lin Feng proposed that he needed her and Ding Yi, two women, to be responsible for protecting him, a late-stage Enhancer…

This incomprehension gradually deepened in the face of the unknown fear that was about to come.

She had never faced such a dangerous battle before.

Seeing the man in front of her wiping his revolver with a calm face, Liu Qian mustered up her courage and asked her inner doubts:

"Brother Feng, I want to know why you chose to let us form a formation to protect your output, but then dare to go alone to hunt down the wolves?"

"Could it be that this revolver with only six bullets is your confidence, Brother Feng?"

Ordinary pistol bullets were very weak against late-stage wild wolves, unless they hit the head. And six bullets might not even be able to completely kill a wild wolf.

Lin Feng looked up at Liu Qian and fell into deep thought.

He understood the other party's worries.

Because he had not yet proven that he possessed the powerful strength to kill the entire wolf pack.

But Ding Yi and Chen Shanshan understood his abilities and personality, so they believed in him unconditionally.

When he first met the Liu siblings, the revolver in his hand was still an lv4 magazine pistol, with only fifty rounds of ammunition and a base damage of only 15 points.

It could at most bully a rockhorn horse that was exhausted and on the verge of death.

Now the revolver in his hand has been upgraded to an lv7 automatic pistol, with a base damage of up to thirty points and 200 rounds of ammunition!

In automatic mode, the rate of fire is as high as twenty rounds per second!

Not to mention the high-attack, low-defense level nine wild wolves, even the level nine rockhorn horse in its prime, Lin Feng could solve it in one second in automatic mode.

It was just that the distance could not exceed four hundred meters.

Although the effective range of the lv7 automatic pistol was eight hundred meters, Lin Feng could only lock on to objects three to four hundred meters away at most.

After being strengthened to the mid-stage, Lin Feng's vision had been enhanced to a four-times scope, able to clearly see objects the size of a football three to four hundred meters away, and hit every shot within two hundred meters.

Now that he had advanced to a late-stage Enhancer at level seven, his physical fitness had been comprehensively improved again, and he could easily focus and lock on to balloons that had turned into black dots six to seven hundred meters away.

But at this distance, it was not easy to hit a moving target.

The longer the aiming distance, the more factors that affected the bullet hit rate.

Such as bullet speed trajectory, passing wind speed, target movement speed and azimuth prediction, and so on.

This was also why in modern long-range sniping, snipers who wanted to become sharpshooters needed not only a lot of training and accumulated experience, but also various tools to assist in shooting.

Such as basic high-magnification scopes, anemometers, and observers acting as the second sniper.

Along the way, Lin Feng had already verified in the field that his physical fitness, enhanced in the later stages, allowed his visual senses to be enhanced to the level of a six-power scope.

He could identify small targets within 800 meters.

However, when using a revolver for aiming, he could only accurately lock onto targets within 400 meters. Beyond that, the hit rate would drop sharply, and whether he could hit anything would depend on luck.

Within this distance, the prairie wolves would need half a minute to escape his maximum hit range.

Thirty seconds was enough for Lin Feng to unleash hundreds of bullets, turning the fleeing wolf pack into sieves.

This was also the reason why Lin Feng was confident.

After the wolf hunting operation, he planned to spend a lot of money to find Dawn Village and have them grind out a high-magnification scope for him, which he would then assemble and integrate into his pistol.

Although the Wasteland Hunter Guild sold firearms, Lin Feng couldn't find any other accessories, such as scopes.

Moreover, he wasn't yet qualified to make such purchases.

At this moment, facing Liu Qian's question, Chen Shanshan and Ding Yi were shocked, wondering how Lin Feng would explain it.

After recalling the upgrade history of the revolver in his hand, Lin Feng nodded and took the initiative to speak:

"Evolvers can awaken abilities, which most late-stage wastelanders understand. I am a rare early awakener. Before becoming a first-order evolver, I awakened the ability to optimize weapons and equipment."

The newest and fastest novel is at Six 9 Shu Ba!

"By consuming the energy in my body, I can optimize severely worn weapons and restore them to perfect condition."

"However, using this ability consumes a lot of energy. For example, now that I am a late-stage enhanced human, I must consume late-stage enhanced meat to recover."

"This gun is the result of my best efforts."

"With the help of my optimization ability, the bullets in the revolver's cylinder can be infinitely restored in a short period by consuming the energy in my body."

"So, on the surface, it only has six bullets, but in reality, it's equivalent to a revolver with infinite bullets, and it has great power, capable of taking down a prairie wolf with just two shots."

"But when I use my ability, I need to be fully focused, making it difficult to stay alert, so I need someone to cover me..."

Liu Qian listened carefully, and after understanding, a look of realization appeared on her face, and she said with slight excitement:

"Sorry, Brother Feng, I shouldn't have asked you these questions..."

"I'm just worried that we won't have enough confidence to defeat the prairie wolves in battle."

"But now that Brother Feng is actually a rare ability user, and with such a strong support ability, we will definitely succeed in this wolf hunt..."

Before Liu Qian could finish speaking, the tricycle suddenly braked sharply.

Everyone's bodies lurched, and then they immediately looked out through the observation window.

They saw a wasteland team's camp not far away, in a state of chaos, scattered with pieces of linen clothing and eight or nine unrecognizable wastelanders' corpses.

The chest cavities were basically emptied of internal organs, and the muscles and fat of both thighs were torn apart, leaving only skeletons and blood-soaked soil.

At this time, a group of impatient carrion vultures had landed in the camp, feasting on the remains.

Their hooked eagle beaks could tear and dig out the meat that the wolf pack didn't have time to eat, to fill their bellies.

"Damn it, we're too late!"

Li Hu got out of the car, looked around, and couldn't even see a wolf's shadow. He had already prepared for battle, and couldn't help but curse angrily.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and quickly found traces:

"The blood on the ground is still fresh. To the left front, there are bloodstains and claw marks. Let's chase after them!"

Li Hu stepped forward to check, dispersed the carrion vultures, and sure enough, he saw the traces of the wolf pack just leaving. He raised a five-foot-long broadsword and said hatefully:

"Let's go, keep chasing them! Use the 'exhaust the hawk' tactic!"

"Digesting food in the stomach also requires energy and fresh water in the body. This is why it is not advisable to exercise within half an hour after a meal."

Li Hu planned to force the wolf pack to take the initiative to fight.

The group continued on, and to conserve energy, both sides switched drivers this time.

Liu Mingfei stepped down on Lin Feng's side, and Ding Yi took over the driver's seat, continuing forward along the bloodstains.

Because they could take turns, and with timely replenishment of food and water, the group's consumption was not great. They switched drivers every hour.

Maintaining a steady speed of ten kilometers per hour, they sped across the wasteland. When they encountered slopes, they got out of the car and pushed it forward.

Following the wolf pack's footprints all the way, they pressed closer step by step, never allowing them to stop and rest.

Finally, with the group relentlessly pursuing, the team entered a valley. Ahead was a slope of hundreds of meters, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only a flat retreat route behind them.

They were trapped in a dead end.

Li Hu and the others immediately got out of the car to observe the terrain.

The wolf pack's claw prints on the ground diverged into four or five different directions here.

"They already know someone is following them."

Lin Feng looked around the surrounding terrain and had a bad feeling:

"With this slope, we all have to get out of the car and push it. If the wolf pack suddenly attacks, we will be attacked from both sides."

"I suggest we go out first and take a detour to see."

Li Hu frowned slightly. He actually wanted to continue chasing in the direction of the largest claw prints.

The wolf pack was already close at hand, and there was no reason to waste time detouring and give up the distance they had worked so hard to shorten.

But Lin Feng was right. If this was a trap deliberately set by the wolf pack to ambush the people pushing the car...

Like last time, they wanted to catch them off guard.

Then the attacker and defender would switch places!

Just as Li Hu was hesitating, a giant wolf suddenly emerged from the hillside not far away.

Compared to the rocks next to it, the giant wolf was fully four meters long, comparable to a tricycle, similar in size to the level-nine rockhorn horse that Lin Feng's group had hunted last time.

The huge wolf head, stained with blood, had a blood basin mouth with fangs of refined steel.

Its bell-sized wolf eyes were full of blood.

Baring its teeth, it looked ferocious.

As it howled to the sky, waves of wolf howls echoed from behind the nearby valley slope.

Li Hu met its gaze, his face instantly twisted, his eyes filled with ferocity, and he raised the sharp broadsword in his hand!

It was this guy, the leader of the prairie wolf pack, who killed his teammates and cut off his path to evolution!

Just as the surrounding wolf howls were gradually rising, a wolf-tooth arrow, flying at extreme speed, with the force of breaking through the air,

Shot straight at the head wolf on the hilltop!

The battle was about to begin!

Modified into a four-thousand-word chapter,

I hope it's not too wordy.
