Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Lin Feng's heart tightened instantly, gripping the lv2 quality revolver in his hand, cautiously observing his surroundings.

His right leg injury only allowed him to walk slowly after the upgrade, making it impossible to run away.

If the Captain and Ding Yi didn't want to abandon him, they would have to stay put and pray they wouldn't be discovered.

But those who come are not friendly, and the friendly do not come.

The other party was clearly following the sound of gunfire and the scent of blood, tailing them all the way.

Soon after, a few thin figures appeared on the horizon not far away.

Lin Feng struggled to stand up, leaning against the rock wall, trying not to reveal his injury.

Chen Shan Shan glanced at the gun in the man's hand.

The latter nodded in affirmation.

The Type 05 revolver was given to him by Captain Chen. Lin Feng knew that the other party was aware that the revolver only had three rounds.

And when hunting the carrion vultures, he fired six shots.

The bullet recovery function had already been exposed, and moreover, the new state of the gun could not be hidden.

Now that a formidable enemy was at hand, the firearm in Lin Feng's hand was the key to forming deterrence in the confrontation, and there was no need to conceal it.

Having received an affirmative response from the man, Chen Shan Shan, feeling more confident, raised the two-meter-long steel rod, quietly waiting for the other party to arrive.

There were four of them in total.

After observing Chen Shan Shan and the others, one of them split off and returned the way they came, while the remaining members continued to squat and monitor.

"These are just scouts. They're going back to get more people. Should we strike first...?"

Lin Feng spoke slowly, proactively handing over the revolver.

The Captain was strong and extremely fast. Equipping her with a handgun would allow her to assassinate the three distant figures, and then catch up with Lin Feng and the other.

But Chen Shan Shan shook her head:

"A wasteland community that can send out a four-person reconnaissance team has at least twenty members. Gunfire and death will only attract them and continue the relentless pursuit."

"But correspondingly, a team with such strength doesn't have a strong need for food. Before any hatred is triggered, contact and negotiation are the first choice."

The Captain explained the rules of conduct in the wasteland.

The worse the condition of a wasteland community, the more careful you have to be. They are already on the verge of death, and for a bite to eat, they can be fearless.

Conversely, those with strong strength are easier to talk to, because they have more to consider and prioritize caution.

The risk and reward must be proportional before they take action.

Lin Feng nodded, silently remembering it in his heart.

Soon after, more than ten wastelanders appeared one after another from the direction they came, including several leaders who were dressed cleanly and in good condition.

From their appearance, it was clear that this wasteland community was much stronger than Chen Shan Shan's former subordinates.

The team had an iron cart and a tricycle, both fully loaded with supplies.

Seeing that the other party did not lack food, Lin Feng felt a slight relief, but Chen Shan Shan on the side narrowed her eyes slightly, deep in thought.

Soon, the wasteland community that had stopped a hundred meters away sent out three people. One of them was tall and sturdy, at least one meter ninety, with bulging muscles on his exposed bronze arms and several scars on his face, looking fierce.

He was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Lin Feng swallowed, feeling like a chick in the eyes of this fierce giant.

The three stopped thirty meters away.

Looking at Chen Shan Shan and the others, the giant laughed loudly, his tone teasing:

"Captain Chen, why are there only these two weaklings left in your team?"

"I told you a long time ago, you're not suitable to lead a team. That Qi Shan is a traitor, two-faced, and will squeeze you out sooner or later. With the current situation, why not join us? With your strength, you won't have to worry about food."

It seemed the two sides knew each other, Lin Feng observed.

Chen Shan Shan took a deep breath and put away the steel rod:

"No need for Captain Li to worry, we're living well."

Li Hu glanced around at the few people, saw the revolver in Lin Feng's hand, and stared at the only man in this down-and-out three-person team, suddenly becoming interested and said:

"Is this the new survivor you found? Nice build, perky butt, and looks tender. Recently, there are a few big shots in the oasis slave market who like this kind..."

"Hmph, looks like you got lucky."

"One enhancement serum, plus two pounds of jerky, five liters of fresh water, what do you say?"

Lin Feng's pupils shrank, his heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at the Captain's back.

The development of the situation was far beyond his expectations.

Chen Shan Shan frowned slightly and shook her head.

Li Hu continued:

"With your strength, as long as you inject an enhancement serum, you can be promoted to a level nine enhanced human, only one step away from a first-order evolver. With such good conditions, I can't think of any reason to refuse."

Chen Shan Shan's gaze was cold, and she raised the steel rod in her hand:

"I don't sell living people, you know that."

Li Hu didn't press further. Instead, the woman beside him spoke to Lin Feng, her tone frivolous:

"Little brother, you've experienced the harshness of the wasteland, haven't you? Instead of starving and living in fear and uncertainty among the wastelanders, why don't we take you to live a good life?"

"As long as you are obedient, endless food, safe housing, and soft beds and air conditioning, the living environment of those big shots is like a paradise on earth..."

"What do you say, do you want to come with us?"

"These things, you won't be able to experience even if you follow Captain Chen for the rest of your life until you die."

As she spoke, the woman's tone changed, becoming low:

"You have to think clearly. If you wait a few more days, your skin will be dry and cracked, peeling, yellowing, and blackening, and you won't be worthy of such good treatment!"

Lin Feng stared at the woman in front of him and suddenly smiled:

"Sorry, I have confidence in living well and want to live a few more days, rather than becoming someone else's plaything."

"Rather than being a tail-wagging supplicant at someone's beck and call, I would rather die with dignity..."

After speaking, Lin Feng slowly pointed the gun at himself.

To show his determination and deterrence.

He knew very well that he was only level two and had a maximum of fifteen health points, while the other party's strength was far above him, with strength and speed several times stronger.

So the deterrence of the lv2 revolver was not great.

But although Lin Feng couldn't threaten them, he could kill himself before they tore off their masks.

There was no need to act for a dead person.

Seeing this scene, the few people in the distance glanced at Lin Feng in surprise, and Li Hu even sighed:

"He's still a man."

"Chen Shan Shan, you've finally turned around."

After speaking, he turned around and led his people away.

"Wait!"

Lin Feng suddenly spoke at this time. Seeing the other party turn his head, he pointed to the dried meat strips on the cart:

"I want to make a deal!"

Li Hu thought the other party had "changed his mind", but he didn't expect it was for this matter, so he frowned slightly:

"These few pounds of meat can't be exchanged for anything good."

Lin Feng didn't care:

"I only want fresh water."

The fact that the other party was willing to offer an exchange price of two pounds of jerky and five liters of water meant that they were not short of water.

Li Hu looked at the minced meat jerky on the cart and the piled-up carrion vulture feathers and held out two fingers:

"Two pieces of vulture breast meat, four liters of fresh water."

Ding Yi and Chen Shan Shan's expressions changed.

The latter even questioned in a deep voice:

"Half a pound of jerky can be exchanged for four liters of water, you're robbing us!"

Li Hu looked at Lin Feng, taking it for granted:

"It's just taking advantage of the situation, or you can walk another twenty or thirty kilometers and catch up with the main force to trade. But the variables along the way are worth this price."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, facing the gazes of the two women turning towards him, and firmed his thoughts:

"A piece of vulture breast meat weighs close to half a pound after drying, two pieces for five liters of fresh water!"

Li Hu nodded, no longer bargaining:

"Okay."

After the exchange was completed, Lin Feng looked at the five plastic bottles filled with fresh water in front of him and couldn't help but salivate.

Before leaving, Li Hu reminded Chen Shan Shan:

"I saw a pack of wasteland wolves searching this way, following the sound of gunfire. The Holy Spring Day is coming soon, and we still have to hurry on our way, good luck to you!"

Chen Shan Shan's expression was solemn, and she watched them leave.

Lin Feng couldn't wait to open a bottle of water and drank a small half of it in one gulp, asking about the things Li Hu had just said:

"What are the Oasis and Holy Spring Day?"

Ding Yi packed up the remaining minced meat jerky on the cart:

"It's related to the place where they were going to sell you, it's the big shots on the oasis."

"The forefront of our refugee team is a steel behemoth traveling on the Gobi, called the Mobile Oasis."

"Every fifteen days, the upper-class people who control the oasis will hold a grand gathering, recruiting servants and soldiers from the wastelanders. At the same time, the Holy Spring Church of the oasis will open the oasis drainage valve after praising the Lord, and send down the Lord's sweet dew."

"So this day is also called Holy Spring Day, and all the wasteland teams will speed up their journey to catch up with the main force before this day."

"It's already September 13th, and there are less than two days left until Holy Spring Day..."

Speaking of this, Ding Yi remembered Qi Shan who had led people away and said somewhat angrily:

"No wonder Qi Shan stole the supplies yesterday."

Chen Shan Shan didn't care about this, but stared into the distance with a deep gaze.

Lin Feng was about to continue asking about the strength divisions of the wastelanders when he looked in the direction of her gaze.

Several hundred meters away, on the road they had come from, a huge gray wolf climbed over the hillside and stood on the top of the mountain.

The reddish wolf eyes met everyone's gaze.
