Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

Watching the scavengers flee in disarray, Zhong Li reached out and grabbed Hong Luan's arm: "Forget it, don't chase them. Quickly clean up the battlefield and get out of here. Every second we delay increases the chances of us being attacked."

Hongluan nodded and said, "I'll go and call the others to come and join us."

After she put away her weapon, Zhong Li paid special attention to it. Her weapon was still a high-grade explosive gun, which seemed to be her biggest weakness limiting her combat power in this battle and urgently needed to be improved. Otherwise, these scavengers would have had no chance to escape.

As a champion-level player, her output is incredibly powerful, with a damage calculation bonus of 100%. Every shot she takes lands on the Doomsday Bull, splattering blood everywhere and leaving a gaping hole with each hit.

Her weapon is somewhat like an anti-material sniper rifle. When it hits a human body, it creates a cloud of blood mist, and half of the body is gone. If it hits the head, it will cause the head to disappear instantly, like a hundred times faster version of a bullet piercing a watermelon.

However, this weapon, while very powerful, has a serious drawback: it doesn't provide enough holy damage.

Most of the damage would be blocked by the special force field shield. She shattered the Doomsday Bull's special force field shield and beat the monster's body to pieces before finally killing it.

If Suzaku were to fight this monster, she wouldn't need such complicated maneuvers. With her magnetic beam gun, she could simply unleash a single, powerful particle cannon shot that would pierce the monster with critical damage. One shot wouldn't be enough; she could immediately fire another, then teleport behind the monster and finish it off.

Of course, the two sides have different roles to begin with. Zhongli also realized this in this battle. This tactical squad still needs a sniper like Zhuque to provide strong fire support from the sidelines. Then he, Hongluan, Liulu, and Huowu can raise their ion shields and advance in tactical formation. If there were also a helicopter in the air, allowing Liulu to provide continuous suppression from the air as a heavy firepower provider, that would be even more perfect.

As Zhong Li pondered, the system notification finally sounded as the scavengers fled into the distance and disengaged from the battle.

"Oh dear, heavy losses!" The escape of these guys lowered my combat rating by a full 10%.

Otherwise, you could have drawn an item as powerful as the [Tiger Soul 3D Printer].

From this perspective, replacing the soldiers' weapons is an urgent matter, second only to finding vehicles in terms of priority.

The battlefield was littered with corpses, with about three hundred bodies lying haphazardly. It would take a few people quite some time to clear them away.

Zhong Li went to the vicinity of the airdrop crate first, wondering if it would be more abundant if the Saintess opened it.

However, after thinking about it, Zhong Li decided to open it himself. Maybe the contents of the airdrop crate were already pre-packaged and determined before it was dropped.

The key point is that this trip to the Dark Merchant's stronghold is an opportunity, with more abundant resources that can bring greater value.

However, Zhong Li's luck was clearly not as good as Ye Wei's; he used up all the durability of a lock-picking tool but still couldn't open the airdrop crate.

At that moment, he truly realized how important a wasteland rogue was to a squad.

[Ding, lockpicking failed, unable to open the treasure chest. Lockpicking tool durability -10.]

[Ding, lockpicking failed, unable to open the treasure chest. Lockpicking tool durability -10.]

……

In the darkness, countless enemies might be approaching, and because the airdrop crate wasn't opened, the green flare on it was still emitting thick smoke.

Zhong Li frowned and tried to open the lock again and again. Finally, when the durability of the second lock-picking tool was reduced to half, a pleasant system notification sounded.

[Ding! You have successfully opened a Green Drop Box from Eagle Industries.]

[Ding! You have obtained 2500 Runes]

[Ding! You have obtained 2500 Primal Crystals]

[Ding! ND-45 military-grade powered armor battery x2]

[Ding! Obtained a high-quality weapon, "Carved Moon and Clouds" x1]

[Ding! Obtained the crafting blueprint for the Armor Rune: Flame Rejection x1]

[Ding! You have obtained 2 Beginner Civil Engineer Contract Scrolls]

[Ding! Obtained Special Unit: Mechanicus Tech Sergeant Contract Scroll x1]

After looking at all the items, Zhong Li's eyes lit up with surprise.

As expected of a green treasure chest, it has so many good things.

Zhong Li didn't need the military-grade battery for the power armor yet, so he simply put it in his backpack.

But this finely crafted weapon is just too perfect for Hongluan; it's almost flawless! Zhongli couldn't even think of any weapon that could be a better match for Hongluan.

The Moon-Carving Clouds is a weapon that combines swords and rifles. Its black and white barrel resembles the intertwining of night and moon, while the front features a deep blue bayonet and halberd blade, allowing the weapon to thrust, slash, and fire.

With this weapon, Hongluan can remove both of her weapons and no longer need to switch between ranged and melee combat.

The biggest challenge in her promotion to champion level was to fire when the monster was within ten meters of her and then switch to Bloodstained Spear five meters before it reached the monster.

With this Moon-Carving Cloud-Cutting Sword, she can now wield it with the same ease and fluency as the Vermilion Bird.

So, Zhong Li gritted his teeth and decided to use 1000 victory points to upgrade the weapon.

This battle yielded 75 victory points, nearly one-tenth of her total. Zhongli felt there would definitely be more battles to come, and perhaps Hongluan could earn back the victory points she had spent on Hongluan before returning to the shelter.

[Ding! First upgrade of [Armament - Precision Weapon (Blue) - Moon Carving and Cloud Cutting] consumes 1000 Victory Points. Confirm?]

【Sure!】

[Ding! The [Armor - Fine-Crafted Weapon (Blue) - Carved Moon and Clouds] has been successfully enhanced. Its attributes have changed, and it has been upgraded to [Armor - Perfect-Grade Weapon (Red) - Carved Moon and Clouds]]
