Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 45: The Wandering Earth Project, Filtration Device

"I want to know what's wrong with this world!"

"What happened before we woke up?!"

Due to long-term hibernation, the survivors who woke up in the wasteland lost most of their memories, and only had vague fragments of what happened in the past.

The same is true for Lin Feng. He still remembers that he was just an ordinary office worker who had just graduated. After that, something seemed to happen on Earth, and he could not remember anything after that.

The lower-class people were just like him, they knew nothing when asked.

Even what Chen Shanshan learned from her master were only vague fragments.

Now that the opportunity was before him, Lin Feng naturally had to find out why the once peaceful Earth had become such a post-apocalyptic wasteland...

Father Suan is the most powerful and influential person he can come into contact with. Even in Oasis Town, he is one of the top few people.

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Father Su An smiled knowingly as if he had expected it, and said:

"This question has troubled me for a long time, and it also troubles every survivor in the wasteland."

"Years ago, when I first converted to the Holy Spring Cult, I might have answered your mainstream explanation of the wasteland."

"The answer was gradually pieced together by the majority of Evolved Ones after recalling their past events."

"A long time ago, in the year 2000 AD, humanity faced a world-destroying crisis. The details of the crisis remain unknown to this day, but as the crisis approached, humanity gained the ability to evolve."

"At one time, all kinds of talented and extraordinary evolvers stepped onto the magnificent stage of history."

"Finally, they came up with a solution to the crisis: using Earth as a vehicle to propel the entire planet and escape the impending destruction of the solar system."

"Following the established procedure, we will head to Proxima Centauri, the smallest star in a triple star system, which is closest to the solar system. The other two stars are about the same size as the sun. They are collectively known as Alpha Centauri, also known as Centauri."

"It's approximately 4.22 light-years from the solar system, or about trillion kilometers. The plan is to build planetary engines to propel Earth forward, as well as underground shelters to protect humanity."

"Over five hundred years, we'll accelerate the Earth to 5‰ of the speed of light, or kilometers per second. After gliding for years, we'll reverse the direction of the engines and decelerate for another seven hundred years, ultimately landing in Proxima Centauri's orbit!"

"The Wandering Earth Project, a total of 2,500 years."

"The original plan proceeded as normal. All survivors entered various underground shelters and lay in hibernation pods."

"Set to automatically wake up after 2,500 years."

"But after that, the first group of humans who emerged from the shelter were roasted alive by the scorching sun."

"Looking up, I saw three suns hanging in the sky. This is a world of eternal daylight without night."

"Later, everyone discovered that the three suns divided the Earth almost evenly, each illuminating one-third of the area. They rotated from east to west at a speed of less than 18.5 kilometers per day, without stopping..."

"The Earth's circumference is 40,000 kilometers, and it takes six years for the three suns to orbit once, so it's also called the Wasteland Year."

"Six times the size of the old solar system."

"After that, the survivors of the shelter began migrating and surviving in the area between the three stars. They used the supplies stored in the shelter and the ruins of the city to restore civilization with great difficulty."

"As more and more survivors awaken, people realize that this is definitely not their destination, Centaurus, and that the Triple Star system is not actually three stars orbiting each other."

"During the period of human dormancy, something unknown must have happened that changed the fate of all mankind."

"And since humanity awakened, a thousand wasteland years have passed since records began."

"That is, the old six thousand years."

At this point, Father Suan sighed and took out the book behind him, a Holy Spring Scripture:

"After I converted to the Holy Spring Sect and read the internal scriptures of the Holy Spring Sect, I discovered that everything was far more complicated than that."

"Three hundred years ago, an archbishop, determined to uncover the truth about the wasteland, traveled alone to the equator to investigate the planetary engine built that year. Upon his return, he informed everyone that he had found nothing."

"The Wandering Earth Project may not exist."

"The secrets are known only to the pioneers of the evolutionary wave who were responsible for implementing the entire plan. They have long since vanished, leaving behind only stories that have become legends, circulating across the wasteland."

"The truth behind this is buried in the relics of the past, and the solution to cracking the Three Days Soaring Sky Technique is also within it."

After listening to Father Su An's explanation, Lin Feng was deeply shocked and gradually recalled what happened that year.

The whole nation has set off a wave of evolution. Compared with countless geniuses, Lin Feng is just a mediocre fourth-level enhanced person, who is okay among the lower-level civilians.

Later, a world-destroying crisis came and they had to escape from the solar system, so the Wandering Earth plan was put on the agenda.

Although he was weak, he managed to become a small leader of the construction team in the chaotic times, so he entered the shelter early.

Lying in the hibernation capsule, waiting for Wandering Earth to take him into a brave new world.

However, after waking up, he found himself in a wasteland, framed and on the verge of death. After a lot of hard work, he finally found his stability.

"So, the savior who shot down the sun, as rumored among the barbarians, really existed?"

Lin Feng remembered the joke Ding Yi played on him when he first arrived.

Father Suan smiled, but then said seriously:

"Of course it exists! This was the last prophecy of the future left by the great prophet who led humanity to the surface and explored the new world before his death."

"And the Lord of the Holy Spring, whom we believe in, is the savior of the wasteland world. Under the leadership of the Immortal Saint, he will save all of humanity, break the Three Days of Soaring Sky, and ultimately travel to the true new world!"

Su An looked slightly excited.

Lin Feng probably understood that all the churches in the wasteland probably thought that they were the savior.

So I stopped discussing this unanswerable topic and turned to another pressing question concerning myself:
"Sir, is it true that the only way to start evolution is to go to the church or the big families in the oasis?"

"What should I do if I encounter an emergency in the wild and need to complete my evolution to break the deadlock?"

The reason why Lin Feng was willing to give up the opportunity to evolve was not only because Chen Shanshan became his enemy because of his order, but also because he was cautious about unknown things.

Because of the unknown effects of the mutated wolf fangs, he was worried that the evolutionary fluid he provided would also have corresponding side effects.

For example, they will keep a backup plan to threaten the Evolvers and continue to serve Oasis.

Any force that can establish long-term rule in the wasteland can be a good person.

Father Suan hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly:
"There's a portable extraction method that can extract the primary evolutionary fluid through squeezing and filtering. If you really need it, you can try it."

"As for the upgrade and evolution after becoming an Evolver, it's the same as when you were a Enhanced Human. Just eat the Evolved Meat directly."

"The Evolved's physique can withstand it."

After answering, Su An added in detail:

"Disposable filtering equipment, available at the Holy Spring Village shop, can reduce the impact of 90% of impurities in the evolved meat, making it barely safe for direct consumption."

"But I suggest that we bring the wild beast back."

"The village clinic keeps 99% pure evolution fluid. If Miss Chen's evolution were to be carried out blindly outside, the risk of an accident would be extremely high."

"I'm very optimistic about you."

"Within my power, exchanging a first-level wild beast for one evolution surgery is already the limit. The acolyte in charge of logistics can only turn a blind eye."

"With your current strength, if you cooperate with Miss Chen, hunting down a herbivorous first-level wild beast shouldn't be a problem."

Su An pinched his brows as he spoke. The afternoon's research was very exhausting.

"There's nothing else important, so let's leave it at that for now."

Lin Feng nodded, and when he stood up to leave, he touched his pocket and took out the church emblem and the gold and silver well coins.
"Sir, then this..."

Father Suan smiled meaningfully:
"It's not cheap. Keep it well. It's also a symbol of half-church status."

"Also, don't call me "adult" from now on. Just call me Uncle An. There aren't so many rules in the village."

“Come and play with the children more often when you have time.”

Lin Feng put the emblem in his hand close to his body:

"Thank you, Uncle An."

He said goodbye to the priest and ran quickly back to the infirmary.

I happened to meet Chen Shanshan who had just untied the restraints. She slowly woke up and kept saying "hungry~hungry~"
So Liu Qian helped her up and returned to the tricycle.

Inside the carriage, Chen Shanshan ate a kilogram of dried wolf leg meat in one breath and fell asleep again.

Everyone then took a rest in the church.

An hour later, Chen Shanshan, who had recovered, exuded an extremely strong aura.

It is completely different from the previous level nine enhancement.

Lin Feng didn't care too much about this and asked:
"Do you recall anything from the past?"

　The editor had to put it on the shelves at the last minute, which is so sad.
