Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

To be honest, it's quite normal to make all sorts of drastic modifications to vehicles in the wasteland, such as increasing power and adding steel armor.

However, when it comes to military-grade power batteries, it's no ordinary matter.

This is a high-end battery that can power military power armor; one of these batteries might be worth more than all of Zhong Li's scrap metal.

Before deciding whether to modify the items, Zhong Li first needs to take stock of these spoils of war.

The loot on the minecart was unloaded, and Zhong Li finished counting it in a few seconds.

120 Hawk long-barreled rifles

[Enhanced Weapon (Green) - Locker G3 Pistol Shotgun] x10

[Energizing Agent - Wrath of Fire] x20 bottles

[Copper-cased dumdum bullets] x4 boxes

[Rejuvenating Medication] x2 boxes

Eagle Industries Fragmentation Grenade x50

[Original Crystal] x4000

[Rune] x2000

After taking inventory, Zhong Li decisively tossed a military battery to Xi'er and said, "Go all out on the modifications. These military supplies are very valuable; we should take them all."

Although the Hawk long-barreled rifle is not an upgraded weapon, its attributes are very good, even comparable to Zhongli's previous Avenger rifle, but it lacks special features.

This weapon must be a best-selling item in the Dark Merchant's hideout, and it's also accompanied by four whole boxes of [copper-cased dumdum bullets]!

These are bullets banned in human civil wars. They are extremely lethal and inhumane. [Damage +2] [Healing recovery effect -30%] One bullet into the body and an ordinary human is half dead.

As a result, these bullets were mass-produced in the wasteland, with each box containing a full 500 rounds of this large-caliber ammunition. These three boxes of bullets alone weighed nearly 100 kilograms.

Zhong Li didn't care much about the upgraded pistol-type shotgun. It was suitable for indoor urban combat or gang shootouts, but not for open-world battles. Zhong Li simply put it back in the weapon case, intending to sell it.

[Empowering Reagent - Raging Fire], after injection, combat power +3, critical hit rate +8%! This increase in critical hit rate is quite remarkable. If a human were to use it, a critical hit would be almost guaranteed within ten shots.

The duration is a bit short, lasting only 30 minutes, and after the effect ends, you will fall into a weakened state with -5 Courage.

After thinking for a moment, Zhongli took out half of the reagent and distributed it to all the soldiers, so that they could fight to the death if the situation became critical.

Two boxes of revival medicine; Zhong Lijue has no intention of selling them.

Each box contains only 5 vials of the potion, the effect of which is to [immediately restore 2 points of psionic energy and then accelerate cell activity over the next 3 hours, slowly restoring 6 points of psionic energy].

With a total of 8 points of psionic energy, that's already half the psionic energy value of an ordinary soldier.

This revival potion is extremely valuable; you can't buy it for less than 500 runes. It's a life-saving resource on the battlefield.

Zhongli carefully took out six sticks, giving two to Hongluan and Huowu each, keeping two for himself, and putting the rest into his personal backpack.

Not long after Zhong Li finished organizing the supplies, Seele's transformation, complete with crackling sparks, was also finished.

She retracted her mechanical tentacles, put away the molten gun, took a deep breath, and said to Zhong Li, "Manager, this is my masterpiece. I've named it the [Ox and Horse Armored Transport Vehicle]."

Zhong Li's forehead creased with annoyance: "Why are they called 'ox and horse'?"

Why don't you call it Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse?

The name "Warhorse Silent Tactical Enhanced Handcart" is ridiculous enough, but you changed it to an even more ridiculous name!

"Oh, because it was born a cow or a horse," Seele said expressionlessly, pushing up her protective goggles.

"But please believe me, sir, don't worry about the name. Its performance is still very reliable. The only difference between it and a tank is the lack of special protection."

But the design of this modified car looks really unreliable!

It's called a modification, but it's actually full of wasteland style. It's just a crude way of piecing two vehicles together. It's really hard to tell if it's a three-wheeled motorcycle or a hand-held tractor.

The only reliable thing is that military battery, which is extremely reliable and powerful.

Even when mounted on a small combat robot, speeding across the frozen ground, a tracked robot less than a meter long can carry two burly bear men at breakneck speed.

Zhong Li tried opening the vehicle's attribute template, and it really was a new vehicle.

【Ox- and Horse-Drawn Armored Personnel Transport】

Grade: Poor (Durability -50%)

Damage: 0

[Durability: 7]

Armor: 10

[Movement: 10]

[Special Rules: None]

Moving at 10 km/h, or 36 km/h, is certainly much slower than a car, but much faster than walking.

Seele jumped to the front, grabbed a makeshift control handle, patted the vehicle behind her, and said, "Get on. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep up with my speed."

Zhong Li took a deep breath, jumped onto the truck bed, and then asked Xi'er, "What's the next promotion path for you technical sergeants?"

"Armored engineer or master technician."

Sure enough, your arms modification plan was based on the Greenskin's "I Think Power"!

The green-skinned boys could assemble a tank by piecing together various scraps. If they thought the tank could run, it could. If they thought painting it red would make it run faster, it would run faster.

Seele quickly became connected to the vehicle's nervous system, and when she tried to accelerate, the heavily modified car noticeably sped up.

The Technocracy's technical sergeants truly displayed the power of the God of Machines to the fullest extent!

This vehicle, converted from scrap, suddenly sped up, reaching speeds of nearly 40 miles per hour on the bumpy wasteland!

At this pace, the group should be able to reach the Dark Merchant's stronghold around sunrise.

If the Dark Merchant's outpost sells vehicles, Zhong Li will definitely buy a decent vehicle for the shelter.

This [bull and horse] is absolutely ridiculous! It's exactly the same style as those green-skinned scrap armored vehicles. I'll just sell it cheaply to other interested scavengers.

"Scavenger camp!"

Just as Zhong Li was thinking about the scavengers, the short plank on the vehicle suddenly pointed into the distance and exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, to the northeast of where the vehicle was traveling, there was a small scavenger camp built on a hill of earth and rubble.

The camp was built with wood, scrap, and a small amount of steel. A campfire was burning in the middle of the tents, and a group of scavengers were busy inside.

Even from a distance, you could hear the man shouting drunken ramblings and the woman crying and wailing.

Military batteries are extremely quiet, and battery-powered vehicles make very little noise. The other side has not yet discovered the group in the shelter.

Zhongli decisively said to Xier, "Park the car further away. Hongluan, Huowu, and I will go over there and clean them all up."
