Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 105 Mutual encouragement, restless hearts

"Are you so sure that I can evolve to the late First Stage and not become one of the sacrifices going to the church?"

Lin Feng looked at the young woman in front of him with interest and spoke with a smile.

He already knew the truth and had even less interest in staying in Oasis Town.

Shen Yue nodded with a lollipop in her mouth:
"Of course. The second-class Shangmin in the Shangmin District, the descendants of the first-class, have a limit of ninety years."

"That is, within ninety years, if they fail to evolve to the late first stage, they will become one of the sacrifices. Every Holy Spring Day, they must participate in the Moon Night Ceremony, and draw lots to decide who will be the Moon Night Sacrifice."

"But for outsiders who have just been promoted to the upper class, the ninety-year limit is calculated from the year they join. So Mr. Lin still has a full ninety years after becoming an upper class."

"After such a long time, even if you can accumulate 1,000 points a year, you will have 90,000 points in 90 years, which is enough to exchange for a late-stage evolution agent. I think within 10 years, under the arrangement of Lord Su An, you will definitely be able to complete the late-stage evolution."

Lin Feng smiled. The late stage of the first level was not a problem for him at all, including becoming a citizen of the oasis. Su An and the bishop would not let him become a sacrifice.

His mission is more important than sacrifice.

Seeing Shen Yue's encouraging expression, Lin Feng immediately asked her:
"How much do you know about the situation in the upper echelons of Oasis?"

Shen Yue frowned slightly, bit the candy in her mouth, and stared at the man in front of her:

"Oasis Town will always shine under the glory of the Lord."

"As long as the church exists, no amount of petty conspiracy or scheme can change this fact."

Lin Feng kept smiling and looked at the woman:

"No need to say more official language."

"I can meet Father Suan and the Bishop alone in the secret room. How could I not know anything? I just came to the wasteland for the first time and don't know the curse of the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone. But the struggle between the major forces..."

"When I was building the shelter, I experienced much more than you did!"

"It seems the Li family will take action soon. The Bishop needs me to stay and assist the church in rebuilding order after the struggle..."

"This is the real reason why Father Suan arranged for you to persuade me to join Oasis and become a senior citizen."

After hearing this, Shen Yue showed a shocked expression. Because her mouth was slightly open, the candy stick beside her lips fell directly to the ground.

After picking up the stick, Shen Yue looked at Lin Feng with a serious expression:
"Is the situation really that serious?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly, but then he thought that the other party was just a small assistant priest in the early stage of the first level, who had just arrived in Oasis Town not long ago, so it was normal that he didn't know the core secrets.

After nodding in agreement, Lin Feng's mouth corners slightly raised:

"Just know about this, remember to keep it secret."

"But we can also prepare early and choose to protect ourselves, or take this opportunity to go further."

“As the saying goes, chaos is the ladder of progress.”

"As long as I can seize this opportunity, it might be a chance to change my fate and prove my loyalty to the Lord of the Holy Spring!"

Lin Feng's plain words seemed to be more magical than Shen Yue's invitation. With just a few words, the young woman in front of him began to breathe heavier and her pupils dilated.

Shen Yue felt her whole body getting restless. In addition to being the big eater in the Cardinal Court of the Holy City, she also had another title, the Woman with Super Strength.

The energy absorbed and stored by the body's developed consumption system allows her to maintain an explosive state, which is equivalent to an unlimited time berserker.

But the prerequisite is to eat and drink enough, and accumulate enough reserve energy. Being exiled to Oasis Town had already made Shen Yue very unhappy. Her restless heart had been restless for many years, making her want to achieve enough achievements and return to the Holy City.

It’s a pity that the peaceful and tranquil Oasis Town is like a pool of stagnant water, with no waves at all.

Day after day, year after year.

Shen Yue could only recite scriptures repeatedly and provide psychological counseling to the pigs that were raised and waiting to be slaughtered in Shangmin District, so that they would believe in the greatness of their sacrifice and willingly step onto the stage of sacrifice.

At first, Shen Yue also believed that everything she did was meaningful.

It was not until she saw one monk after another being burned alive in agony that she, no matter how emotional and enthusiastic she was, became numb like the other monks in the church.

Because only by being numb can we face all this.

The senior who was in charge of recording and observing the scenes once told her not to have any feelings for the upper people. The purpose of their cultivation was to be like livestock to be slaughtered. When the time came, they would be pushed onto the execution platform and offer their ultimate value.

In fact, for humans struggling in the wasteland, being able to live like this for ninety years is more attractive and more worthwhile than struggling at the bottom for nine hundred years.

Ninety years is enough for ordinary humans in the old Earth to live out their lives.

But for Shen Yue, what really changed her view was a certain statement that has been circulating among the younger generation in Shangmin District in recent years.

Some people are encouraging the new generation of young people to end their lives before they turn 90.

Because they knew that under the supervision of the nine archons and dozens of late-stage first-level supervisors, there was no possibility of resistance or escape.

Only by dying early can one avoid the painful fate of being burned as a sacrifice.

For this reason, there were cases where poison was secretly delivered to the servants who were responsible for taking care of the people.

But what really made Shen Yue angry and disappointed was not the villains who secretly instigated the young Shangmin, but that these guys, after enjoying all the glory and wealth, even avoided and abandoned the only responsibility they should have borne because of the pain of sacrifice.

This was what Shen Yue thought was truly unforgivable, and for this reason she lost her last sympathy for this group of young upper-class people.

Now all his energy is focused on how to accumulate enough merits so that he can be transferred as soon as possible one day and return to the holy city with the pilgrim caravan.

Now, this opportunity is about to be presented to Shen Yue. Her excitement and heartbeat are even deeper than Lin Feng's.

The latter is just a free man facing the choice of staying or leaving.

And Shen Yue has been trapped here for many years.

If nothing unexpected happens, this may be her last chance in this life.

As the situation gradually stabilizes, Shen Yue may have to waste away the time here forever in silence until death.

As her breathing became heavier, Shen Yue stared at the man in front of her who seemed to be smiling, and she didn't notice that the status of the two of them had reversed 180 degrees compared to an hour ago.

At this moment, she has become a lowly supplicant:
"The Church... the priests and the bishop... they... they plan to take action when and how..."

"Who else is the target to be eliminated besides the Li family?"

After saying these words, Shen Yue had almost exhausted all her strength. At this moment, her blood was boiling and her mouth was dry.

Lin Feng still kept smiling, quietly watching the transformation of the woman in front of him:
"It shouldn't be many days. Once my team completes the task assigned by Father Su An, we will probably start taking action against the Li family."

"As for eliminating the target..."
