Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

Zhong Li, the mercenary from the Divine Blessing Spirit, still had a deep impression of that muscular, towering body. Even when he fell by the roadside, he looked like a mountain. Zhong Li continued to look at the group of prisoners, but unfortunately there was no second lizardman here. Most of them were disgusting Void Spirits.

Zhong Li frowned and asked Huo Wu beside him, "How do we deal with these octopus-faced creatures?"

Huo Wu's expression was cold. She drew her sword, and the next moment, inky black blood splattered everywhere. The cave was filled with the clash of swords, screams, and her ruthless voice: "Fire! Kill them all!"

The dense barrage of gunfire echoed within the cave, even suppressing the monster's screams and roars. By the time the sound of the last spent shell casing hitting the ground slowly reverberated, the cave was already a river of blood. Nearly a hundred corpses were piled up, the dead lying side by side, their blood pooling together, almost turning the place into a pool of blood.

Before Zhongli could speak, Hongluan took the initiative to explain: "Blood feuds cannot be resolved; both sides have each other's hands stained with the other's blood."

Zhong Li's heart sank; the wasteland was even more cruel and ruthless than he had imagined.

He had no choice but to abandon his usual indecisiveness from peacetime, forcing a smile, and said, "I just wanted to ask if their Blood Saintess is usable?"

"Highly poisonous."

"That's a pity."

Even more unfortunately, the prisoners' equipment was all taken, and the soldiers searched all the remains but found only seven primary relics.

The most significant effect of this swift and decisive massacre was its overwhelming deterrent effect. The remaining human prisoners were terrified, cowering in the middle of the pile of corpses, barely daring to breathe loudly.

Zhong Li looked over and asked, "So, what about you? Would you like to join our shelter?"

At this point, would we dare to say we are unwilling?

Everyone hurriedly struggled to face Zhongli, saying urgently, "Yes, yes."

"I am willing to become a member of your refuge and serve you like a slave."

With the surrender going so smoothly, Zhongli nodded in satisfaction, ordered Duanban and the others to untie the prisoners, and then checked their condition himself.

There were a total of 5 human scavengers, four men and one woman.

The woman's name is Bai Jie. She is a call girl in the lower city, that is, a wasteland prostitute. When she stays in the shelter, the shelter's reputation will temporarily increase by 1. Her special ability is to increase the probability of scavengers and caravans visiting the shelter (extremely low probability).

This characteristic is likely due to her rather attractive appearance. However, I can't agree with Zhong Li's assessment. Green hair, hot pants, a tank top, and high boots give off a "young and energetic" vibe. Perhaps this look is more popular in the lower wastelands?

Therefore, Zhong Li glanced at her and then shifted his gaze to the others. Among the men were three brothers who were miners, named Xi Feng, Xi Wang, and Xi Shuo, so Zhong Li simply called them the Xi Wang Brothers. Their ability was to slightly increase the probability of collecting associated minerals when mining quarries.

The last man is quite impressive; his name is Aka, and he's a weapons designer! He can draw gun design blueprints on his own, with an extremely low probability of creating enhanced versions of firearms!

This is extremely important for the shelter. With the Tiger Soul 3D printer, his gun designs can be quickly turned into reality, giving him a huge number of test subjects. Even with a very low probability, the shelter may eventually be able to successfully develop an enhanced gun!

However, all of that is in the future. Right now, whether it's a charming prostitute or a noble weapons designer, they all serve only one purpose for Zhong Li: to do hard labor.

Since they had all agreed to be their servants, Zhongli couldn't let them down. He waved his hand and said, "Your job now is to get up and move all the supplies and ratman corpses from this underground city back to the surface. Aka, you're a weapons designer, so you can definitely read blueprints. This is a map of this underground city. You take them and transport all of this back to the shelter. I will send Chongba with two shelter guards to protect you."

Aka immediately took the map from Zhongli and asked, "Respected Administrator, I can read the map of the dungeon. May I ask where the surface refuge is located?"

"You'll find out when you reach the exit of the dungeon."

Aka and his men dared not delay. These people were ruthless individuals who had slaughtered countless people here. They quickly and efficiently gathered up all the scattered supplies and rat-man corpses, preparing to transport them out.

Zhong Li then looked at the Sand Fox and asked, "Such a large underground city must have some kind of treasury, right?"

This underground city consists of four buildings: this is the prisoner camp, the clan hall, the den of evil, and the rugged cave.

Sandfox replied, "The Lair of Evil is where the ratmen devour flesh and blood. If you don't mind the gore and stench, you can go in and look for any discarded relics among the scraps of flesh and filth. Their treasures are usually hidden in rugged caves, but I warn you not to get your hopes up. Recently, the ratmen have been collecting large quantities of resources and sending them to headquarters to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony."

Zhongli raised an eyebrow and calmly said, "So it's also possible that they've just collected more wealth than usual and haven't had time to send it away yet. Hongluan, you come with me to the rugged cave, and Duanban, take the others to check out the lair of evil."

Zhong Li didn't plan to go to the Lair of Evil. He had just entered the wasteland and didn't want to challenge himself with such a shocking scene for the time being. According to Sand Fox on the way, the ratmen reproduced rapidly by devouring flesh and blood, and were quite terrifying; it would be best to raid them regularly. Zhong Li thought he could use this place as a leveling ground.

The group moved quickly and soon arrived at the rugged cave.

As the flashlight beam illuminated the scene inside the cave, Zhongli was overjoyed; he had actually guessed correctly!

What came into view was a two-wheeled electric cart! And it was a military "silent tactical energy-enhancing handcart", also known as "War Horse"! Zhong Li couldn't understand for a moment what kind of weirdo could design such a rudimentary military vehicle.

Moreover, the batteries inside had long been exhausted, and it could only be propelled by human power, so only a tactical pack was stacked on top.

Fortunately, the territory's "Smart Resource Recycling Station" can recycle batteries, so if they are usable, the electric cart can still be used.

Wasteland is a place where various scraps and waste materials are pieced together to create usable vehicles and equipment.

Hongluan opened the fully packed bag, revealing a dazzling blue light inside.

"Manager, it's Yuan Jing, with at least 2000 units!"

Clearly, the ratmen had only pushed the supplies here, and before they even had a chance to unload them, they were urgently conscripted to join the battle.

They didn't even unload the things from the car, let alone move anything else.

Zhong Li unceremoniously pocketed the entire bag of raw crystals.

[Ding! You have obtained 2200 Pure Primal Crystals]

This was equivalent to nearly 4000 runes, which immediately increased Zhongli's anticipation for the other treasures in the cave.
