Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

On the way to the coastal cliffs, Lin Feng inquired about Liu Qian:

“With such drastic changes in body temperature, what do you think Liu Qian's ability could be?”

Chen Shanshan's expression was a little unnatural:

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, recalling Liu Mingfei's mention of that experience during Liu Qian's awakening process:

“Are you saying that she's like a solar cooker, able to concentrate all the energy in her body into one point?”

Chen Shanshan took a deep breath and nodded:

“It might also be related to her near-death experience, but currently, she's only a first-order evolver. Her superpower shouldn't be that strong yet, at most creating some low-temperature light sources…”

“Or lighting fires with her fingers.”

“Just like me back then, the effects of my ability later weren't as mystical as you guys described. At most, it could erase someone's vision, how could it possibly deprive all senses?”

As she spoke, Chen Shanshan emphasized her analysis:

“According to the superpower spectrum, this ability should belong to the advanced classification of the physique system: cell energy control. It can release different types of energy through contact.”

“Although this ability isn't very useful now, it has high growth potential. Once it's developed, who knows, it might be able to release temperatures no less than the sun in the future!”

Lin Feng thought of the science fiction movies he had seen before, but even science fiction should be somewhat realistic. Chen Shanshan lacked common sense:

“The temperature of the sun? That's several thousand, even tens of thousands of degrees. Whose flesh can withstand that?”

“Even if you turn into a fire person, burning all over, wouldn't you also get burned?”

Chen Shanshan realized that what she said was a bit too exaggerated, so she added:

“Maybe it's emitting light all over? Or injecting energy into an object, turning it into an energy bomb. Anyway, superpower development relies entirely on imagination and exploration.”

“However, Liu Qian's hand that was holding the water bottle did have burn marks, so she probably needs to practice for a while to master it skillfully.”

Lin Feng nodded, glanced at the increasingly large sun behind him, and planned to ask Liu Qian about her awakening trial when he had time.

Could it be challenging to destroy the sun, or avoiding the scorching sun, that would give birth to this advanced but very weak ability?

The two of them walked one after the other, chatting casually, maintaining a steady pace to conserve energy.

Two hours later, after walking through more than ten kilometers of urban ruins, they successfully arrived at the coastal cliffs, which was also where the group had previously followed Old Duncan to capture the male Rockhorn Horses.

The ten-kilometer trek used to take half of Lin Feng's life when he was only a level seven enhanced human. Now, having become a level fourteen first-order evolver, this distance is like an after-dinner stroll, a warm-up before exercise.

Sure enough, only evolvers can fully adapt to the harsh environment of the wasteland. Enhanced humans who leave Oasis Town too far, venturing alone into the wilderness, basically can't escape death.

Lin Feng climbed onto the ruins of a collapsed coastal lighthouse, took out his binoculars, and observed the rift valley in front.

Thousands of years had passed, and the former seabed had cracked into block-like pieces, with countless ravines of varying sizes at the bottom, swallowing and absorbing tens of thousands of Rockhorn Horse herds.

Water vapor blown from the rear condensed in the depths of the rift valley, eventually forming a periodic stagnant pool.

Now, as the Scorching Sun Forbidden Zone approached, the temperature rose, causing the green scattered within the rift valley to gradually wither, and the underground water pools were also drying up day by day.

This feast was gradually coming to an end.

“Fewer and fewer Rockhorn Horse herds are coming, but more and more are leaving. We need to hurry.”

Chen Shanshan noticed that the figures of the horse herds at the entrance and exit of the bay rift valley, more than ten kilometers away, were few and far between.

The number was far less than when they first arrived the day before yesterday.

The last wave of Rockhorn Horse herds had all arrived.

Lin Feng nodded, observing and searching for his target while saying:

“Ding Yi initially estimated that there are three remaining first-order female Rockhorn Horses, and fourteen late-stage Rockhorn Horses, which can collect a total of two tons of jerky, all enhanced meat.”

“Including those eight cubs, our remaining load capacity is no more than two and a half tons.”

“So, we can kill at most two to three more first-order Rockhorn Horses to fill the carriage. If there's a chance later, we'll catch a few live horses to test the toxin's effects.”

Chen Shanshan glanced at her watch:

“We traveled more than a hundred kilometers this time. The Scorching Sun Forbidden Zone will probably approach on the fifth day. Now it's already the day and night of the third day, with nearly two days and forty-eight hours left. We should have time to catch live horses.”

Lin Feng put down his binoculars and nodded.

Now the team's strength has soared, the lineup is luxurious, and they can easily take down a small Rockhorn Horse herd.

Harvesting three first-order Rockhorn Horses is not a problem.

The key is how to maximize the benefits during this last hunting opportunity.

Once the Scorching Sun Forbidden Zone covers the area, the temperature will soar, the Rockhorn Horse herds' gathering in the rift valley will end, and the migratory beast tide will disperse into the boundless wilderness.

If you want to encounter herds of Rockhorn Horses again in the future, you can only rely on luck.

Currently, female horses are worthless, and their evolution level is also low.

As for the first-order mid-stage male Rockhorn Horses, if captured alive, one can sell for at least three thousand points or more, which is more valuable than the two tons of jerky on the Rockhorn Horse chariot today.

But Lin Feng knew that killing was easy, but capturing alive was difficult.

So, the compromise is actually to capture the first-order early-stage male Rockhorn Horses, which are the group of “bachelors” at the bottom of the cliff slope under their feet.

For the current Lin Feng team, they are easy to control, and the value of a live horse far exceeds that of a female Rockhorn Horse, comparable to the corpse of a mid-stage leader.

Each one can be worth at least two thousand points.

Moreover, they are smaller in size, making them easier to control and transport.

Just as Lin Feng made a decision to launch a live capture plan for the first-order early-stage male Rockhorn Horses…

Suddenly, a powerful roar came from the ravines of the distant rift valley!

Immediately afterwards, several equally deep howls echoed in this rift valley!

For a time, they rose and fell one after another, continuously!

This roar seemed like some kind of signal, quickly spreading throughout the bay, even Lin Feng and the others dozens of kilometers away could hear it clearly.

Chen Shanshan's expression changed slightly, realizing something:

“These are the roars of the leader-level Rockhorn Horses! We heard them when we first arrived here before.”

Lin Feng nodded solemnly.

Leader-level Rockhorn Horses specifically refer to first-order late-stage male Rockhorn Horses. The members of the tribe they lead number as many as a hundred, a huge number.

Their own strength is also outstanding among the Rockhorn Horse herds.

Their bodies are seven to ten meters long, about four meters high, and can be called land behemoths, even larger than the extinct mammoths of the Old Earth period.

Coupled with the pair of five-meter-wide, thick and sharp horns on their heads, they charge forward when running, recklessly and without any scruples.

Comparable to a heavy truck.

The level fourteen machine gun's power is instantly reduced by more than half in front of them, making it difficult to break the thick rock armor.

And facing such a behemoth, the vast majority of first-order evolvers will only be in awe, fearing to avoid them.

But at this moment, Lin Feng was more concerned about the series of anomalies that appeared in the Rockhorn Horse herds after this roar.

Along with several leader-level Rockhorn Horses roaring from different positions in the rift valley…

Subsequently, slight tremors appeared throughout the bay.

Many Rockhorn Horses could be seen gradually becoming restless. The roar was like some kind of signal, summoning the remaining Rockhorn Horse herds nearby.

Then, these horse herds stood up one after another and began to walk towards the rear of the bay rift valley.

Even the single first-order early-stage male Rockhorn Horses at the bottom of the slope under their feet, under the call of this sound, left the fertile slope grassland one after another, following behind the beast herd, heading to the depths of the rift valley…

Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan looked at each other, immediately realizing the reason for the collective roar of the leader-level Rockhorn Horses.

They were planning to leave this gathering place and lead their tribes on a new migratory journey, heading to the next water source in advance.

“Is it a little too early? There are still more than two days until the arrival of the Scorching Sun Forbidden Zone…”

Chen Shanshan murmured to herself, somewhat incredulous.

Lin Feng on the side picked up the binoculars again, only to see several leader-level large Rockhorn Horses already appearing in the rear of the distant bay rift valley, leading their tribes away.

And after the main force left, many small horse herds also set off in advance, following the migratory team.

Under everyone's feet, the group of single male Rockhorn Horses was also closely following the beast herd, withdrawing from the bay rift valley.

All the Rockhorn Horses were leaving!

Lin Feng frowned, watching the billowing dust raised in the distance, like the departure scene of Oasis Town, and immediately turned around without looking back, his tone hurried:

“Let's go, go back and notify them. The situation has changed, we also have to start our actions in advance!”

“Now go directly to the right rear of the rift valley and hunt and capture the migrating horse herds on the opposite side of the river.”

After speaking, he immediately led Chen Shanshan away from the shore.

And not long after the two left, a giant beast with an extremely large body walked out from among the migrating Rockhorn Horse herds.

It was six or seven meters tall and fifteen meters long, like a mobile small building, several times larger than those leader-level Rockhorn Horses, and quite conspicuous in the horse herd.

This was the supreme leader who commanded this Rockhorn Horse herd, its strength far above the first order…

The legendary Chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse.

The first powerful roar just now was the order it issued!

Starting a new journey for the beast herd's migration!
