Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

Walking along the road, Zhong Li opened a black sack and looked inside. He sighed deeply, realizing that his trip was truly carrying the hopes of his entire family.

Inside, various precious items were neatly arranged, including a pile of [Blood Orchids], a total of 5 sets! There were also 3 sets of [Bloody Pineal Gland], 4 sets of [Human Amber], and 3 new items [Life Flame Essence], which are items that provide +1 protection.

The sheer number of valuable items shows that Zhongli's plan has been initially successful. Starting with the bloody battle after midnight, he has successfully fleeced Scarlet.

These numerous valuable attribute items are all remnants of the Crimson Corrosion Power. All added together, their attribute values ​​are equivalent to a champion-level soldier leveling up 3 times. And for an ordinary soldier, it's equivalent to leveling up 5 times!

Of course, this also came at a great cost to the shelter; activating the Demon Rat Ruins projection once consumes 2000 units of Primal Crystals.

If the shelter develops smoothly, Zhongli is confident that when it reaches the maximum level, he can max out all attributes and faith points at the same time.

This is how the power of Crimson Erosion is used to cultivate the strongest warriors to fight against Crimson Erosion.

As long as humanity masters the controllable use of new energy, it will surely achieve a more powerful civilization.

As for the spoils from this exploit at the shelter, Suzaku and Liulu gave them all to Zhongli to take away without holding back. Suzaku said that if they continued to hold out at the shelter, there would still be various possibilities, so she prioritized giving these valuable attribute items to the group that went out.

This can be considered a different kind of "poor family, rich road trip".

After Zhongli finished inspecting the items, he said to Huowu and Hongluan, "Let's distribute these attribute items. Let's not let Zhuque and the others down."

Huo Wu accepted the quota given to her without saying a word and swallowed it all.

After Hongluan took him away, she asked Zhongli, "Manager, won't this exploitation of Hongshi provoke his murderous intent?"

Zhongli swallowed his five items, smiled at Hongluan, and said, "How big of a problem could there be? At most, the Crimson Tide or the Tribunal from the Crimson Erosion Sect will come to besiege us. Then we'll fight a counter-siege war. As long as we keep winning, the Li Fire will eventually spread like wildfire."

Huo Wu looked at Zhong Li at this moment and said seriously, "You should become a hero. With your temperament, it's a real pity that you don't."

Zhongli turned to look at Huowu. In her right hand she held her blazing gold Broken Rainbow Sword, and in her left hand she held up the Dark Angel Battle Banner with a red background and black emblem. The image of the Bloody Dark Battle Group instantly became vivid.

"A hero? I'll take that as a compliment. I'll definitely give it a try if I get the chance."

Sand Fox Baker, who had been silent until now, agreed with Huo Wu's idea: "You have all the madness and obsession that a hero needs, so you are indeed suitable."

Madness, paranoia?

This was all because of the apocalypse!

One cannot truly live without being obsessed.

Zhong Li felt that before the apocalypse, he had been a very easygoing person, and even after the end of the world, he had never scolded anyone. Did you expect him to be up at three or four in the morning, setting off on his journey through the night?

"Stop talking nonsense, how far are we from the Dark Merchant's stronghold?"

Sand Fox Baker glanced in the direction and said, "If you had a proper vehicle, we could get there by sunrise! But with this piece of junk, I'd be lucky if we got there this afternoon."

Zhong Li glanced at his "broken car" and his eye twitched. What kind of bizarre force researched this junk?!

Yes, he did have a vehicle this time, but it wasn't for riding in; it was for transporting goods.

That is the [Warhorse Silent Tactical Energy Enhancement Handcart]. It's actually a military vehicle. I really don't know which pure-hearted evil force researched it.

It was already in a state of disrepair, and now it's been further modified with various old batteries and iron fences to enhance its carrying capacity, making it look like a cobbled-together, dilapidated vehicle.

But any vehicle is better than empty-handed. It was piled with more than a dozen sacks, filled with the precious [Red Erosion Claw] and various spoils of war.

Zhongli's backpack was already full, so they needed to use a vehicle to increase their carrying capacity. They hoped to clear out all the trash and bring back a large amount of supplies to develop the shelter this time.

Therefore, in addition to Zhongli, Huowu, and Hongluan, the team also included the soldier Duanban and the guard Chongba, who was pushing a cart, covered in sweat.

Although the vehicle is powered, it is severely overloaded and the battery cannot fully drive it, requiring manual pushing.

Getting a proper vehicle is Zhongli's most urgent need right now, even more so than anything else.

As Zhong Li was pondering this, Duanban suddenly shouted with delight, "Manager! Manager! The detectors are alerting us! A large number of airdrop crates are approaching our direction. At least ten!"

"A large number of airdrop crates are approaching our direction? Is this thing broken?" Zhong Li immediately took the [Wanderer's Alliance Star Positioning Detector] from the short-handed hand, and saw on the green screen that a large number of airdrop crates were indeed rapidly approaching this direction from behind.

Sand Fox Baker glanced at it and said with feigned profundity, "The instrument isn't broken. It's just the Hurricane transport plane approaching. It's flying high, so you can't hear it. Every now and then, planes drop airdrops on survivors in various locations across the wasteland. If you're lucky, you might be able to witness the airdrop crates landing, at which point the surrounding survivors will frantically rush to grab them."

This is commonly known as "chasing airdrops"?

Zhongli understood the situation clearly after thinking about it; it was definitely fraught with danger.

No wonder a doomsday bull was attracted to the area around the shelter before.

The weak link immediately asked, "Sir, the plane is about to overtake us, should we chase it?"

"If it doesn't deviate too far from our direction, we'll chase after it."

As if confirming Zhong Li's words, a few minutes later, the shortboard excitedly shouted, "Manager, the airdrop has landed! The airdrop has landed! Let me count, there are three or four right here."

Sand Fox Baker finally showed a change of expression, his tone filled with doubt and surprise: "The airdrop crates couldn't possibly be falling this densely. Is your equipment broken?"

It's definitely not broken! Zhong Li looked at the airdrop crates billowing with smoke from the signal flares in the sky and confirmed that the instruments were accurate and that a large number of airdrops were in the vicinity.

As for the reason for this sudden and concentrated deployment, Zhong Li could only guess that it was due to the fact that a cluster of Devouring Spirits in the vicinity had been killed.

But whatever the reason is, it doesn't matter. Zhong Li pointed to the airdrop crate emitting a special green smoke in the sky and said, "Let's chase after this green airdrop crate immediately, grab it, and then we'll leave."

The other smoke trails were the classic white-gray kind of signal flares, the most commonly used type of nighttime illumination flares, but the green one was quite unusual.

Zhong Li guessed that this airdrop might be a green-quality airdrop crate?
