Chapter 13: Holy Spring Gospel, Hunting Rock Wildebeest

"After the prayer ceremony, the water will be released, right?"

Lin Feng sat in the tricycle, eating jerky wolf meat, repairing the durability of Chen Shanshan's titanium gun, and continuing to upgrade the level 3 fine horn bow, while asking.

He found that after the jerky from the steppe wolf helped him level up twice, it seemed to be lacking in stamina.

Now it can only recover the lost health points, and cannot break through the upper limit to achieve further evolution.

Therefore, killing the level nine rockhorn horse is also to improve one's strength as quickly as possible.

The person sitting at the front of the bike and pedaling at this moment is Chen Shanshan, who is familiar with the terrain.

She asked Lao Huang for some engine oil and applied it to the chain and gears. The pedaling became incredibly smooth, much easier than dragging the heavy cart before.

Moreover, as an eighth-level enhanced person, he possesses a strength of up to 800 kilograms, so he can pedal the tricycle easily. Once he gets moving, he only needs to overcome the friction of moving forward.

Four people sat facing each other inside the carriage.

Ding Yi scooped a glass of fresh water for the Liu brothers and sisters, and continued to introduce the Holy Spring Day to Lin Feng:
"That's right. The prayer ceremony will be presided over by the bishop of Oasis Town. After it's over, the Oasis drainage valve will be opened, releasing approximately two hundred tons of water. The clergy will distribute it to the people in line one by one."

Lin Feng was stunned:
"So many? Two hundred tons at a time, that's four thousand eight hundred tons a year..."

Ding Yi nodded:

"So as the Holy Spring Day approaches, fresh water becomes very cheap and loses a lot of value."

"These two hundred tons are only part of the blessing. The truly unused clean fresh water is a quota reserved specifically for the five major villages. In short, the oasis is not short of water."

"But two hundred tons is still a drop in the bucket for the entire wasteland population. The average is three to four liters per person, barely enough to make it to the next Holy Spring Day. But that's only about 50,000 to 60,000 people."

As he spoke, Ding Yi said in a dejected tone:

"Someone has calculated that there are approximately 30 deserted people near Oasis Town, and % of them don't survive the first month."

"The high death rate of the deserted people has also become the best nutrient for this land."

"If it weren't for you, I would probably have died in this Qishan rebellion."

Lin Feng sighed lightly.

The Liu brothers and sisters in front of them were also infected. Although they had the strength of late and mid-stage enhanced people, their equipment was simple and they could only barely make a living in the original team.

In the barren and scarce wasteland, there is no accumulation of resources, and the gap between the strengthened people is actually not that big.

Lin Feng, who has a magazine pistol, can easily kill a level 7 enhanced person like Liu Mingfei.

The innkeeper Huang has been working in the wasteland for many years and has now built a bus hotel.

People at the bottom of society like the Liu brothers and sisters, like Ding Yi and the others before them, were struggling to survive, with no food to eat.

The younger sister Liu Qian is okay, she looks a bit human, but her face is a little dirty. The older brother Liu Mingfei is already pale and thin, and his strength is probably only 60% to 70% left.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Shanshan is willing to cooperate.

At least the other party values ​​family and is affectionate and loyal.

In the captain's opinion, this is more important than strength.

The tricycle arrived at a somewhat empty road. Liu Mingfei stood up and looked around, then spoke:
"When we discovered the rock wildebeest, it was four kilometers behind Oasis Town. Now, three hours have passed, it must have run ahead of the main group!"

Ding Yi nodded:

"Then let's pass by the oasis and let Lin Feng see the magnificent scene."

Chen Shanshan nodded, turned the handlebars and headed west, heading towards the mobile oasis not far away.

After getting closer, Lin Feng, who had evolved into a fourth-level enhanced human, could clearly see the scenery five hundred meters away.

This steel behemoth, like a giant battleship, is two hundred meters long, thirty meters wide, and more than twenty meters high.

The height alone is six or seven stories high.

It can be called a mobile steel city.

On par with a small aircraft carrier.

It is no problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

But the number of upper-class people in the oasis is no more than a thousand.

The rest are servants.

At this moment, a large number of savages were lined up in an orderly manner at the tail of this steel behemoth, and the team stretched for two hundred meters.

They all prostrated themselves on the ground, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

At the front of the team were two hundred clergymen, ready to distribute the holy rain from the Lord.

Lin Feng made a rough count and found that in the area in front of him, which was the size of four football fields, there were as many as 50,000 wastelanders gathered.

A moment later, the bishop who lived in the oasis appeared on the high platform at the tail of the steel behemoth and preached about the Lord served by the Holy Spring Church and the Lord's spokesperson on earth, the immortal saint who controlled all water sources.

It is He who exercises the Lord's authority to purify the world of filth and allow mankind to have clean, clear, sweet fresh water.

Because they were too far away, Lin Feng could only hear the bishop and the clergymen below him mumbling a lot of doctrines.

At the end, the bishop slowly raised a large manhole cover made of pure gold and announced loudly:

"Our homeland lies ahead. In another month, we will return to the Holy Land and receive the Lord's blessing!"

"Praise the Holy Spring!" Tens of thousands of desert people below shouted in unison:
"Praise the Holy Spring! Praise the Holy Spring! Praise the Holy Spring!"

The sound was so loud that it could be heard several kilometers away.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

He could understand if a few hundred or a few thousand people became devout believers, but why were so many people so fanatical? Was there something wrong with the doctrine that had been chanted before?

Chen Shanshan, who had stopped in front, answered this question for everyone:

"The Holy Land is the birthplace of the Holy Spring Religion. In the past, Yuzhou, the homeland, has waited for the ruins of the Zhuma Temple. On Holy Spring Day, twice as much fresh water will be distributed as usual. By then, all the people in the wasteland will have enough holy spring water to drink."

"These are passed down from generation to generation among believers, and they also give the desert dwellers a hope to persevere."

Lin Feng nodded. More than 500 tons of water, no wonder they were all so excited.

The praises gradually faded away.

The hungry and thirsty people shouted until their voices were hoarse.

The bishop, looking down at all living beings, nodded with satisfaction, used the golden manhole cover in his hand to fit into the water valve at the rear of the Oasis ship, and turned the switch gear.

Clear fresh water poured from ten one-meter-thick pipes into the thin tubes below, and finally evenly poured into the water tank behind the two hundred church members.

In less than twenty seconds, the cubic white water tank behind each monk was filled with fresh water, and the bishop then slowly closed the water valve.

And the blessing ceremony has just begun.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the water valve. The bishop in white easily tightened it with just his hands. The strength of his hands alone exceeded dozens of tons.

What a powerful evolver this must be...

Among the senior priests standing on both sides of the bishop, Lin Feng also saw a familiar-looking man.

It was Father Su who bought the alienated wolf fang today.

It was only after Lin Feng explained to Chen Shanshan that he learned about the background of the man in black robe.

Fortunately, Father Su, as the village chief of Shengquan Village, is also the most amiable and approachable among all senior priests.

Otherwise, even if Lin Feng had ten times the courage, he would not dare to bargain with such a big shot.

"Let's go. Next up is the flooding phase, which will last about three or four hours. After that, Oasis Town will restart and continue moving forward."

Chen Shanshan said something and stepped on the pedal to start.

Following the instructions of the Liu brothers and sisters, we took a detour and walked along the small path on the far left side in the south.

The rock wildebeest is in this direction.

Chen Shanshan rode very fast, and since she only needed to pedal hard on the tricycle, she soon covered two kilometers.

Afterwards, Ding Yi took the initiative to stand up and take turns riding.

After eating a lot of wolf meat, she has evolved into a third-level enhanced human. With enough food, drink and rest, she has a strength of three to four hundred kilograms.

Riding a tricycle is totally fine.

Chen Shanshan sat in the car, eating meat and drinking water to recover, and at the same time, like Lin Feng and others, looked around for the lone rock wildebeest.

Not long after, the sharp-eyed Chen Shanshan found traces of dried blood in a pile of yellow rubble.

The mark is clear and has not been decomposed by bacteria or covered by dust, which means it appeared in the last one or two hours.

"Follow the bloodstains on the ground!"

Chen Shanshan patted Ding Yi on the shoulder and gave instructions.

Everyone was excited. Lin Feng handed the upgraded level 4 horn bow to the captain:

"Giant Horn Bow lv4, white quality"

"Basic Attributes: Damage 20, Durability 10/10, Effective Range 300 meters, Remaining Wolf Fang Arrows: 5, Normal Arrows 10; Upgraded to the Host's Level Cap"

"Additional attribute: Tooth-to-tooth (Wolf fang arrows have extremely strong penetration, hitting the target causes an additional 5 points of damage)"

"Comment: Requires over half a ton of force to master, not recommended for beginners."

This time, Chen Shanshan replenished ten ordinary arrows at the market. After upgrading and combining them with wolf tooth arrows, they can burst out a high damage of 25 points.

A mid-stage enhanced person can be taken down with one arrow.

It's perfect for ambushing rock wildebeests from a distance.

As they followed the car all the way, Chen Shanshan narrowed her eyes and suddenly whispered an order to stop the car.

Following the direction she pointed, everyone saw a four-meter-long bull-shaped beast appear four hundred meters away!
It has a pair of one-meter-long sharp horns and a shoulder height of about two meters, like a car.

Lin Feng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and even Ding Yi in front of the car showed a trace of fear.

He had previously thought that the rock wildebeest was just a herbivore, at best a little big, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

Those sharp corners could pierce through anyone if they accidentally hit them.

"Ding Yi, Liu Qian, you two stay here, the other two, follow me!"

Chen Shanshan put on her horn bow and quiver, gripped her titanium gun tightly, jumped out of the car, and spoke in a deep voice:
"Follow my command and set off!"
