Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 98 Situation Analysis, Boarding the Oasis Battleship
Special-powered bullets have their rate of fire doubled, their effective range doubled, and their base damage increased by 20%.

This allowed the level nine AK, which originally had only fifty points of damage, to break through the rifle's upper limit and reach sixty points.

It's as powerful as a level 10 bolter.

The only problem is that the bullet head is too soft. The copper-clad iron steel core can only penetrate a dozen centimeters into the rock layer, and then it will be directly shattered into pieces due to the huge impact force.

If harder materials are used as bullets, such as titanium alloy or tungsten alloy, Lin Feng estimates that the damage and killing effect of the empowered bullets will continue to increase.

The introduction also points out the current disadvantage, which is that the bullet is too powerful and the structure of the gun that launches it cannot withstand it. It is equivalent to stuffing a small cannonball into the barrel of a rifle, which naturally causes severe wear and tear.

After firing five empowered bullets, the durability of the level 9 AK will drop a little.

A durability of at least six points will not have a significant impact on performance. An AK can fire a maximum of twenty empowered bullets.

But being able to obtain a weapon as powerful as a grenade launcher, this little bit of wear and tear is completely acceptable.

Lin Feng then asked Liu Qian to continue empowering a few bullets and confirm them again through experiments.

Except for the increased recoil, everything else is fine.

Afterwards, empowerment experiments were conducted on pistol bullets, and the corresponding effects were also achieved, but the effective range was much shorter, less than 100 meters.

The level 3 ordinary pistol can only be upgraded to level nine at present, and because it has not been branded after level seven, its various attributes are not even as good as Lin Feng’s previously branded level 9 precision pistol.

Fortunately, the power has not decreased much. Combined with the empowered bullets, it can cause 60 points of damage within 100 meters.

After completing the experiment, Lin Feng said earnestly on the way back:

"There are 400 rifle bullets and 300 pistol bullets. Prioritize the rifle bullets and ensure that Liu Mingfei and the other two have 20 rounds of recharged bullets in their rifle magazines."

"Because the currently optimized AK rifle can only withstand a maximum of twenty rounds of empowered bullets."

"After completing the task on the first batch of sixty rounds, continue to energize the remaining bullets depending on the situation."

Liu Qian nodded. Her useless superpowers could be used in such a way that she could shake off her previous depressed mood.

The whole person became cheerful, with light in his eyes:

"With my current abilities, I can empower about thirty bullets a day, and the mission can be completed in two days."

Holding another empowered bullet in his hand, Liu Qian gave a rough judgment.

Lin Feng nodded, this speed was completely sufficient.

After all, everyone can see the power of the empowered bullets. It is equivalent to each person having twenty more small-caliber grenades, armor-piercing bullets that can hit anywhere they are pointed.

If they encounter a group of rock-horned horses again, even if Lin Feng does not take action, the remaining six people in the team can easily kill several first-level early and middle-stage rock-horned horses.

In the subsequent ruins missions, whether encountering unknown monsters underground or other ruins exploration teams, the seven members of the team will have extremely strong long-range attack capabilities.

There is no need to deal with danger by fighting it up close.

When the three returned to the camp, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. In another hour, it would be night.

Lin Feng will also follow Father Su An to the oasis to witness the lives of the upper class people.

Inside the camp, Liu Qian quickly supplied the remaining rifle bullets, completing today's empowerment mission.

She was a little tired, eating some dried meat, and walked to Lin Feng. Looking at the rock horn horses gradually recovering in the two large iron cages, she slowly spoke:
"Have you ever wondered why there are two large iron cages in Shengquan Village? Judging by the welds and paint, they must have been built only a few days ago..."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Ding Yi who was feeding plant tuber residue to the rock wildebeest in the iron cage.

These ground fiber fragments were sent by the monks sent by Father Suan.

Although the canteen in Shengquan Village serves meat, the staple food is still starch paste made from tubers of various plants.

Including the sea buckthorn roots that Lin Feng is familiar with, as well as the mutated potatoes and sweet potatoes grown on the farm.

From this, we can also deduce the industrial cycle of wildebeest breeding in Nongzhuang Village:
First, they plant various high-yield plants, then squeeze out the starch liquid from their fruits and tubers, leaving the crude fiber that humans cannot digest, and feed it to the rock wildebeest.

The feces excreted by the rock wildebeest can provide a steady supply of fertilizer for crop cultivation.

Sunlight is the energy source for the entire system, and a large amount of water serves as the energy transfer medium, thereby achieving a stable cycle of the industry.

Therefore, these iron cages for breeding rock wildebeests could only appear in farm villages. Shengquan Village, a place for teaching and educating people, suddenly had two more sturdy iron cages...

Could it be that Father Suan anticipated that his group would capture a live horse?
Or are these iron cages not originally equipped for rock wildebeests?
At Liu Qian's reminder, Lin Feng fell into deep thought.

At this time, Ding Yi finished feeding a cart of tuber fodder, covered the iron cage with gray cloth again, and walked in front of the two people:

"Perhaps it has something to do with the bounty mission that Father Suan issued earlier. The more than 20 steppe wolf corpses we brought back should contain what Father Suan needs."

"Biological research, or evolving cells?"

Ding Yi's words awakened Lin Feng.

From today's perspective, the active cells in the alienated wolf fangs are the evolutionary cells of the wasteland wolf clan.

If it is absorbed or implanted into the body, in a sense, it is the same path as using the rock horn beetle to obtain the essence of life and carry out cross-level evolution.

Then the purpose of Father Suan's research is naturally self-evident.

In order to obtain the evolution path of the Steppe Wolf!

But this does not seem to be of much use to the Holy Spring Church. After all, the church has mastered the mature and complete Holy Spring evolution path, which is not only more stable than the mutated wild beasts and can obtain sufficient life essence, but also has higher evolutionary potential.

Unlike the rock wildebeest path in the farm village.

For those who achieve leapfrog evolution through them, their evolution may stop at the late first stage.

If you want to go further, you have to hunt the powerful patriarch-level rock wildebeest, which is an almost impossible challenge.

After this analysis, Lin Feng suddenly had an idea in his mind and recalled the words left by Father Su An a few hours ago.

The Li family in Nongzhuang Village has become ambitious and has overstepped their boundaries.

In addition to the control of the evolutionary meat by the Farm Village, even the Hunting Guild of the Fifth Village is restrained by it and would rather spend more to exchange for the evolutionary meat in their hands.

Could it be that Father Su An's research on steppe wolves is intended to deal with the Li family in Nongzhuang Village?

According to legend, the head of the Li family once killed a patriarch-level rockhorn horse, thereby evolving to the second stage and establishing a farm village that made a living by breeding rockhorn horses.

The steppe wolf has always been the mortal enemy of the rockhorn beetle.

As a predator, the steppe wolf's steel fangs are a sharp weapon that can break through the shell and armor of the rock wildebeest.

This can be seen when Lin Feng was only a fourth-level enhanced human, and he successfully killed a ninth-level female rock wildebeest using a wolf tooth bullet made of fine steel wolf teeth.

Originally, the Holy Spring Cult planned to attack the Li family, and their breakthrough point was the steppe wolf, the predator of the rockhorn horse.

As for now, with the horse training technology developed by itself as a basis, the Holy Spring Sect has more cards in its hand.

Even without a fight, the Li family of Nongzhuang Village would be forced to give up and obey.

That's why Father Suan attaches so much importance to horse training techniques.

After this analysis, Lin Feng felt that he had made a preliminary analysis of the open and covert struggles shrouding Oasis Town.

Lin Feng then shared his inferences and analysis with the other three women present. Ding Yi, Liu Qian, and A Ming were all intelligent and could offer some suggestions.

The three women nodded at Lin Feng's analysis, indicating that it should be roughly correct.

At the end of the discussion, Ding Yi couldn't help but sigh:

"It seems that this seemingly peaceful and tranquil Oasis Town is also full of undercurrents and constant struggles."

Amin looked up at the huge Oasis battleship, smiled and continued:
"There are only open and covert fights in the village, but the real battles are happening up there."

Lin Feng glanced at Amin, seemingly thinking about something.

After hearing what she said, Lin Feng became even more determined not to become a citizen of the Oasis.

He didn't want to get involved in the vortex of the struggle and die in obscurity.

The situation in Oasis Town is not peaceful at the moment. Lin Feng is very self-aware. He is just a lucky guy who has just evolved to the middle stage of the first stage. In the eyes of the whole situation, especially the top leaders of Oasis, he is not worth mentioning at all.

So, for the choices that will be faced next,

At this moment, Lin Feng also had a rough judgment.

Not long after the four finished their discussion, a monk hurried over and informed Lin Feng that Father Suan asked him to prepare to go to the oasis.

"No weapons are allowed in the Oasis. Mr. Lin, please remember to leave all your weapons behind."

The monk spoke up to remind him.

Lin Feng nodded. Since no one else could use the branded machine gun except himself, he took it off and gave it to Ding Yi for safekeeping.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed:

"When Chen Shanshan and the others come back, tell them I'll be back soon. Please protect the rock wildebeest and the breeding box."

Under the gaze of the three women, Lin Feng followed the monk and walked towards the church in Shengquan Village.

At this moment, Father Su An was in the village, handling and arranging village affairs. Seeing Lin Feng coming, he slowly spoke:
"It's almost time, let's go."

Then Lin Feng followed Su An and left the village and walked towards the Oasis battleship.

The warship looks huge from a distance, and it will only get bigger when you get closer.

Lin Feng felt more and more insignificant.

The entire warship is more than two hundred meters long, about thirty meters wide, and has an average height of twenty meters.

Looking up, it seems to be seven or eight stories high.

Like a small aircraft carrier, it can carry 30,000 to 40,000 people without any pressure and sail across the wasteland and plains.

But there definitely aren't so many people in Oasis.

The five villages under the warships alone are definitely not enough to support so many people.

On the way to the oasis, Father Su An also introduced Lin Feng:

"There are currently over 10,000 permanent residents in the oasis, of which only 500 are first-class citizens with the qualifications of a superior citizen, and the remaining 1,500 are their family members."

"Because their families have the same rights, they are also classified as second-class citizens, usually the wives and children of first-class citizens."

"Most of them are from the first residents of the oasis when it was first built. Over time, they have been taken over by families from the other three villages besides Shengquan Village. Currently, there are very few who can rise from the fifth village and become upper class people."

"Apart from these two thousand people, among the remaining eight thousand, there are about a hundred church members, and the rest are servants of Oasis."

"They are mainly responsible for the daily maintenance of the oasis, such as cleaning the pipes, wiping the dusty photovoltaic panels, and serving the lives of the residents."

"These people are actually family members from several villages. After becoming evolvers, they can choose to go to the oasis and become a high-ranking servant."

"If there are any shortages of Oasis's upper citizens, they will be selected from the upper servants. Alternatively, if the upper servants have accumulated enough merit points, they can choose to be promoted directly to upper citizens."

Lin Feng nodded. It seemed that there were quite a few residents in the oasis, more than 10,000 people, only slightly less than the total population of the five major villages below the battleship.

However, there are only 5 real first-class upper-class people, which only accounts for 2.5% of the entire oasis and % of the oasis town. The number is not large.

But they are not the real top leaders. The family heads of the three major villages, the guild of the fifth village, and the most powerful church are the real rulers of Oasis Town.

Before reaching the oasis, Lin Feng asked the question that had been on his mind:
"When did the Oasis battleship appear? Why is it maintaining such a slow speed and sticking so close to the Fiery Sun Restricted Area behind it? Isn't it dangerous?"

Father Suan paused, then turned his head and spoke slowly:

"The warship was sent here from the Holy City ahead a hundred years ago. As for the specific reason, I hadn't yet converted to the Lord of the Holy Spring at that time. It was probably because the Holy City was facing a severe food crisis that year, and they had no choice but to send the attached warship and the citizens to other areas to alleviate the food burden."

Then Father Suan said meaningfully:

"There's another important reason why the Oasis arrived here and stayed so close to the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone."

"But you don't need to understand for now."

"When you can truly make a name for yourself in Oasis Town, you will naturally understand the responsibility we shoulder."

Lin Feng nodded, not quite understanding.

Oasis Town has a history of six hundred years.

Walk around the earth a hundred times.

The reason why it was advancing closely along the restricted area of ​​​​the Fiery Sun was naturally related to the restricted area behind it.

Since he is not qualified to understand it for the time being, Lin Feng gave up the idea of ​​exploring in depth.

Whatever the reason, the location of Oasis Town is somewhat dangerous. Lin Feng plans to embark on the journey to the Holy City when he grows to the late first stage.

Big cities have richer resources and naturally more opportunities. If you stay in Oasis Town, you may never be able to advance to the second level in your lifetime, so people still have to look up and move forward.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the Oasis battleship. There was a long staircase for boarding the ship on the right side of the hull.

Next to several pairs of giant tracks seven or eight meters high.

Climb up a hundred steps and you will reach a height of fifteen meters on the battleship. There is a guard at the entrance at the end.

A mid-stage first-level evolver.

The other party obviously knew Father Su An. After greeting him respectfully, he just asked Lin Feng to register his identity information and let him go.

When Lin Feng showed his special hunter's license, the guard's eyes lit up and his attitude became kinder.

The two successfully entered the interior of the Oasis battleship.

But the situation inside was quite different from what Lin Feng thought.

Hot, noisy, crowded...

This was Lin Feng’s first impression of the Oasis battleship.
