Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

Zhong Li immediately took notice of this introduction of Sand Fox Baker.

"Which company are you talking about?"

Upon hearing Zhongli's question, Sand Fox Baker immediately raised his chin, and even though he was still being helped by the ratmen's leg-split device, his face still revealed a strong sense of pride and self-satisfaction.

"The company is a behemoth in the Blood Mist Coast region, like the supreme ruler overlooking cities, ports, plains and all strongholds. Their presence and influence are everywhere, permeating every street corner and every person's life."

"The company possesses the most cutting-edge technology in the wasteland, developing top-tier technologies in various fields such as artificial intelligence, human modification, genetic engineering, and primal energy. It is a symbol of technology, power, and money. Every action it takes affects the pulse of the wasteland and the city. It is the ruler of this region and the savior of this world. In this Blood Mist Coast region, no one can escape the company's control and influence, even if they hide on the edge of the wasteland desert or deep in the underground caves."

It's easy to tell from his expression and tone that being able to join the company, even as a lowly clerk, is something he's most proud of and proud of.

Zhong Li agreed with what he said to some extent, since the most valuable item Zhong Li had obtained so far was the [Eagle Industries White Airdrop Box].

The intense pride and self-satisfaction on Baker's face right now is a stark contrast to his comical appearance, bound by leg-split devices and erotic handcuffs, making him look like a self-numbing clown.

So Huo Wu bluntly said, "You're really something, to the point that you've become a prisoner of the ratmen and are in such a sorry state!"

In Huo Wu's heart, no one is more powerful than the Dark Blood God Cult. The cult rules everything and shoulders the grand mission of saving the world and fighting against the Red Eclipse.

As for the company, what kind of shady, low-level entity is that?

Beck, mocked by Huo Wu, immediately blushed, but as his gaze fell upon Huo Wu, he instantly suppressed his impending rage and exclaimed in shock, "Elite unit?"

Zhongli raised an eyebrow. Judging from Baker's performance, the elite units seemed to be even more powerful than he had expected.

"Why do you, as a company clerk, rarely see elite units?"

Beck was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. If he were also from an elite unit, why would he have been sent to this wasteland as a business clerk? He would have been a member of the Dawn Task Force long ago, exploring the ruins or overseeing the industrial zone.

Becoming an elite unit was his lifelong pursuit: "These are elite soldier units! Any defensive line will crumble before the powerful offensive of elite units!"

Zhong Li was surprised. Were they really that powerful? He felt he could easily summon several elite units. "Isn't it common to have so many elite units in this ratman dungeon?"

"Common?" Beck's voice rose. "That's because this is the Grinning Clan, one of the most powerful clans of the Ratmen! They're performing a crucial lethal sacrifice! You'd better get me out of here quickly so I can relay this message back to the company. Otherwise, once the lethal sacrifice is completed, every living being, every race, on the surface of the entire Blood Mist Coast region will be cursed and wiped out!"

Zhong Li frowned and asked, "Have the ratmen gone mad? What benefit do they get from doing this?"

"Of course, it's to combat the Red Erosion! Didn't you notice when you came in that they deliberately made the tunnels a sharp 90-degree turn? That's to block out surface light, preventing the Red Moon's light from penetrating the darkness underground. That way, as long as they kill all the surface creatures, the Red Erosion creatures will never bother the ratmen's underground world again."

"This is the prophecy of the Grey Prophet, the newly elected leader of their Grinning Clan. He asserts that the surface is no longer suitable for habitation, and that all forces should relocate to the underworld for the sake of the race's survival! He's a complete madman!"

Zhongli took a deep breath, finding it difficult to determine whether this was a madman or a wise and capable ruler!

Perhaps describing a rat-man as possessing extraordinary talent and ambition is somewhat inappropriate, but his spirit and vision are truly admirable. Perhaps this is indeed a way out. Even the human resistance often hides in the inner world, doesn't it?

However, his plan to exterminate all races on the surface of the world meant that he was destined to part ways with Zhongli.

[Ding! Regional Champion-level Quest (Red) Triggered: Raging Rapids: Even if the world is reduced to ruins, we must still forge ahead, using faith and courage to uphold the flame of hope. The treacherous ratmen are plotting a dangerous ritual, threatening the safety of the entire region! This is the noose around your neck, the sword hanging over your head. To survive, you have only one choice!]

[Task Hint: This is a long-term task. The task reward depends on your progress in disrupting the Grimm Clan's lethal ritual (directly and indirectly). Current progress: 0%] (Note: Progress is not fixed. If the ritual progresses smoothly, the progress will decrease. You can choose to end the task at any time. If the progress is below 20% when you choose to end the task, it is considered a failure. If it is above 20%, it is considered a completion. The final reward depends on the task progress value at the time of settlement.)

The Champion-level mission has also been released, and Zhong Li has no other choice but to go all out to disrupt the ratmen's ritual.

So Zhongli ordered the short-staffed man to step forward and untie the clerk from the Dawn Group, asking, "Where is the ratman's ritual located? In this underground city? The security here doesn't seem very tight."

Once Beck was freed from his shackles by the short plank, he immediately kicked the leg-splitting device to the side in disgust, considering it a disgrace.

"This is just an ordinary tribe of the Grinning Mouth Clan, so of course the sacrificial ceremony wouldn't be held here. You're lucky; we've been captured and held here for several days, and during that time they've been fiercely fighting with the Black Tower Alliance for a treasure in the ruined city. That's why I was able to have my men secretly draw up a map of this place, preparing for our escape."

"The Black Tower Alliance?" Zhong Li glanced at the large number of Void Spirit Clan members bound around him. They all had skin as black as ink, disgusting octopus faces, and tentacles writhing grotesquely on their faces. Their physical characteristics were extremely distinctive. "These are the disgusting things?"

Having spent so many days with these disgusting, greasy creatures, Beck was clearly also filled with loathing for them. He said, "That's right, it's these guys. It's said that their sage sensed a message: there are important military supplies left behind in a base in the abandoned coastal city. The ratmen's rituals require a lot of resources, so their main force went to the abandoned city to loot supplies. Otherwise, do you think a few soldiers could easily take over a ratmen dungeon? If it were that easy, I would have escaped on my own long ago. Why would I have needed to pay such a heavy price to send mercenaries out to report?"
