Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

After reading the attributes of this minotaur, Zhong Li took a deep breath.

Now I understand why there are so many bloody remains of various creatures around his dwelling place.

An elite monster with 23 combat power and 22 health points!

Anyone who gets chopped by him with an axe will be gone!

It also wields dual battle axes! It has 3 points of armor penetration and ignores heavy armor attributes.

With such high combat power, even Hongluan would suffer 14 points of damage from a single axe strike!

If Hongluan hadn't just used [Human Amber], which increased her health to 15, one axe blow would have wiped out her health.

But Zhongli took a deep breath and calmly took out the [Morphine Injector] from his personal space, handed it to Hongluan, and said, "The Minotaur is very strong, but as long as we stay calm, we will definitely win this battle without any major incident. If you are hit, don't hesitate at all. Even if the axe is right in front of you, use this [Morphine Injector] immediately. It can ensure that you can withstand the bleeding damage caused by the [Saw Blade]."

Despite the life-or-death crisis, Hongluan remained indifferent, taking the morphine syringe from Zhongli's hand and asking, "What are your plans?"

Zhong Li calmly said, "I plan to launch the first attack and lure it over here."

"You?" Hongluan frowned slightly, glancing at the three men before her. It wasn't that she was arrogant or contemptuous; the combined strength of these three men was less than that of one of her arms. She stated directly, "Your attacks cannot penetrate its defenses."

"That's right." Zhong Li wasn't discouraged; he said calmly, "But that's precisely why we have a chance of winning. If you initiate the attack, all the damage absorbed by its brass armor will be added to the next slash, and you won't be able to withstand the first blow."

Hongluan pondered for a moment, quickly figuring out the only way to kill its opponent, and asked, "You want me to fight it in close combat?"

Zhong Li nodded and said, "Now that you have the power of Vengeful Flames, you are practically a wasteland war god! When your melee attack ranges are the same, you will take advantage of your initiative to launch the first attack."

"With your Blazing Limit activated, a single hit can remove 12 points of this minotaur's health, and the Blood Blade effect of your Blood Spear will reduce its combat power by 2 points."

"Then, after it attacks you, use the Flames of Vengeance to turn the tables and kill it."

The Wasteland God of War is not just a name!

With the blessing of the Dark Saintess, as long as she has excellent tactics, she can take down this minotaur even by herself when she activates the Blazing Limit.

However, there is a very important premise to this.

Hongluan frowned and said, "You overlooked its psionic ability, [Savage Charge]."

If this terrifying impact hit Hongluan, the two-second stun would be too much for her, even if her health and defense were tripled.

Therefore, the premise is that Hongluan can use spiritual energy, while the Minotaur has been unable to use spiritual energy throughout the battle.

Zhongli, holding his spear, stood up and said with a faint smile, "I haven't overlooked anything. Wait until he's used his spiritual energy before you strike."

Hongluan's usually indifferent face finally softened. She had always thought that Zhongli intended for her to face the terrifying minotaur alone, while they would take sniper shots from the sidelines.

Unexpectedly, even when facing such a terrifying monster, he adhered to his previously stated principle: never to face all dangers alone.

While Hongluan was still thinking, the explosive gunshots rang out, and everyone opened fire on the monster at the same time. The extent of the damage was still unknown, but the momentum was truly impressive.

A terrifying roar then rang out, and a giant minotaur, wielding a blood-red battle axe, roared as it charged out of the ruins.

Zhong Li decisively shouted, "Run!"

Although this minotaur is strong in combat and health, its movement speed is not its strength. As long as the group runs at full speed, it will be difficult for it to catch up.

But war is inherently dangerous and perilous; how could things always turn out as Zhongli had predicted?

If everything were under control, there wouldn't be so many tragedies in the world.

This time, Zhong Li's plans for the war were not as smooth as before.

When the minotaur saw that a few weak humans dared to provoke him, his mind was instantly filled with rage.

Ignoring the various piles of garbage in the ruins, it directly used [Savage Charge]! Its massive body instantly pushed aside mountains and walls, smashing over countless obstacles, and covered in blood, it broke through layers of ruins and appeared directly behind Zhong Li and the others.

Zhong Li had seriously overestimated his brain capacity. The Khorne follower's head was filled with surging rage and a single-minded focus blocked by muscles. He hadn't even considered avoiding harm or overcoming obstacles.

The four had barely turned and run a short distance when the Minotaur's terrifying figure charged up behind them, its heavy and ferocious battle axe raised high.

Even though Hongluan launched an immediate attack, it was too late.

A scream rang out, followed by a spray of blood everywhere. The corpse, cleaved in two, along with internal organs and flesh, lay scattered across the sky, splattering blood all over everyone.

Even though it was scalding hot blood, Zhong Li only felt that it was cold when it was poured on his body!

It's a stone.

His attack was incredibly lucky, triggering a critical hit! This only fueled the minotaur's rage.

So the minotaur ignored Hongluan's attack and violently hacked the honest young man to pieces. He thought that even if a weak human woman attacked him first, she wouldn't be able to cause him much harm.

By the time the monster turned around and attacked Hongluan again, Hongluan had already launched a second attack, and the sharp blood spear had pierced through its chest!

Minor loss!

Hongluan was unharmed, but the price was that Shitou lost his life forever!

Zhong Li stared in stunned silence at the still twitching, writhing remains of the stone's flesh and blood.

Reality is completely different from the game! Perhaps in the game, this was just a farmer who sacrificed himself for elite soldiers, preserving the greatest fighting strength of his side with the least loss.

In reality, however, such tragic casualties cannot be ignored.

Less than two minutes ago, Stone was following him with high spirits, carrying a long spear, his eyes full of longing for a better future.

I still remember the honest and simple young man scratching his head and grinning blankly in the shelter. He was hardworking, honest and simple. No matter what Zhongli or Hongluan asked him to do, he did it without complaint or question.

But this honest and kind young man with a simple smile disappeared so easily before his eyes, his body, flesh and organs still twitching.

Zhong Li couldn't even believe it was real.

Hongluan glanced at Zhongli, hesitated for a moment, and then, unusually, spoke up gently, saying, "Take it easy. In the wasteland, you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first."

Zhong Li turned to look at her, nodded stiffly, and said in a low voice, "I'll get used to it soon. You take the treasure chest back to the shelter immediately. I buried the stone with them, and this gun too. It was his favorite thing. Bury it with him. When he held the gun, his eyes seemed to shine with joy."

Hongluan was silent for a moment, then said, "If this makes you feel better."

Obviously, in the wasteland, few people would do such a time-wasting and meaningless thing.

Hongluan picked up the treasure chest, turned and left, pausing beside Zhongli for a moment, her head bowed: "I hope you can recover your spirits soon, the Holy Maiden is still waiting for you."

After saying that, she strode away, but in her seemingly cold eyes, Zhong Li seemed to see a faint sadness.

She wasn't as cold and heartless as she appeared.

Perhaps in this wasteland, everyone suppresses all their emotions and uses all their strength just to survive.

After burying the stone, Zhongli quickly composed himself and said to Wu and Duanban, "Carry this giant minotaur back to the shelter. Use its head and horns to decorate the walls of our shelter and intimidate the others."
