Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 120: Hand over the Rock Wildebeest and set off for the Taishan Ruins
Only Ding Yi and the magic dog were left in the camp.

The remaining five people ran to take over the third tram ordered by the locomotive village.

Specially used for accommodation and storage of weapons and equipment.

Because the chariot's function was second only to that of clearing the way, and accommodation conditions concerned everyone, all five of them went.

In addition to picking up the car, you also need to go to the Fifth Village to buy a matching soft mattress and pillows, bed curtains or eye masks.

While Lin Feng was going to the village chief's office to meet Su An, the two village assistant priests had already arrived with several enhanced monks.

Find Ding Yi to learn how to expand the incubator for poisonous insects and take care of rock wildebeests.

The underlying logic of this taming and breeding technology is to use the paralyzing and hallucinogenic effects of poisonous insects to reduce the aggressiveness of rock wildebeests and reduce daily stress responses.

As a result, they eat and drink obediently in the cage and grow up quickly to adulthood.

Together with the ample fodder left in the village canteen, it was enough to feed an early-stage male and the remaining seven or eight young wildebeests, so they grew very fast.

To this end, Ding Yi conducted a large number of experiments and developed a comparison table summarizing the toxin injection dosage and injection frequency corresponding to body weight in different stages.

After handing it over to the village deacon, Ding Yi handed six of the eight breeding boxes on both sides of the chariot to the church monks and explained the precautions for breeding.

The secondary cycle from poisonous weeds to poisonous insects is actually not stable. It is easy for poisonous insects to reproduce too quickly and the poisonous weeds to have a shortage of food, leading to a system collapse.

There are two main types of population growth curves.

One is the ideal "J"-shaped curve, which shows exponential growth.

This almost does not exist in the wild, but as long as there is human intervention, providing a stable environment, a steady supply of food and treatment of injuries, the population will double in a short period of time.

The other one presents an "S"-shaped curve under limited circumstances.

This model is more in line with the natural environment in the wild.

The first half of the population grows rapidly, just like a "J" curve. However, in the second half, due to increasing environmental resistance, food scarcity, and the emergence of predators, the number of newborns and dead members in the population reaches a balance, and the growth curve gradually becomes parallel.

In the breeding production process, it is often necessary to achieve a "J" curve to ensure the highest production efficiency.

However, the endless growth of a certain population often leads to the collapse of the entire system.

For example, if there are too many poisonous insects, they will eat all the poisonous weeds and the grass seeds, and the circulation system of the incubator will collapse.

Therefore, among the six breeding boxes handed over, in addition to four for maintaining balance, there are also two insect-free boxes specifically for cultivating poisonous weeds.

Ultimately, poisonous weeds are the root of everything, and the role of insects is to extract and concentrate toxins. Because the toxin content in poisonous weeds is very low, direct artificial extraction technology is difficult and the production cost is also very high.

Poisonous insects act as an intermediate production link.

Each incubator is about one cubic meter in size and can accommodate up to fifty large poisonous insects or a small ant colony.

This can be done once every Holy Spring Day, catching more than half of the insects, or divided into five batches, collecting 10% every three days.

In this way, the population of poisonous insects can be suppressed to the first half of the "S"-shaped growth curve.

It can not only ensure their rapid reproduction, but also harvest and extract the most venom within a certain period of time.

After explaining the breeding points, Ding Yi reminded the assistant priest and the monks to collect more poisonous insects or poisonous weeds along the way to the oasis, so as to increase the types of samples in the box and expand the scale of breeding.

With the size and strength of Shengquan Village and the church behind it, it would be no problem to directly build a large vehicle specifically for breeding poisonous insects.

After explaining these things, the deacon and the monks drove the truck with two large iron cages on the side and the incubator to the deepest part of the Holy Spring Village.

These are the remedial measures prepared in advance to guard against the Li family in the event of a complete loss of all.

If the Li family sees that the situation is not good and destroys the breeding industry in the farm village, they can use them to temporarily fill the gap.

When Lin Feng came back, he happened to see the iron cage he had left not far away. The rock horn horse inside had grown a little bigger than before.

If there is sufficient food, the maturity period of mutant wild beasts can be shortened by more than one third. With the use of some ripening hormones and veterinary drugs, it can be shortened by another one third.

Therefore, the rock horn horse, which originally took more than half a year to grow to the later stage of strengthening, can be successfully marketed in less than two months in a professional breeding farm.

Lin Feng was wondering if there was any way to find the migration traces of the rock wildebeest herd in the vast wasteland.

After the feast in the Wild Rift, the horses, led by the chieftain, the Rockhorn Horse, disappeared into the wilderness.

No one knows their specific migration routes except for the wandering forces that may encounter them accidentally.

These routes are all recorded in the brains of the patriarch-level rock wildebeests. They know the gathering points of water sources around the world, and the routes connected by them are the life paths of the herds.

In such a vast wilderness covering tens of millions of square kilometers, trying to find hundreds of herds of wildebeest scattered across it is actually no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lin Feng thought of the divine dog. As the mortal enemy of the rock wildebeest, the steppe wolf might be able to search for traces of the nearby rock wildebeest based on the smell.

But there is no rush, there will be plenty of time later.

The important thing right now is to get to the Taishan ruins as soon as possible and complete the task of collecting the wild wolf essence.

By the way, you can also help the divine dog collect the racial essence needed for cross-level evolution.

Lin Feng walked into the chariot and handed over to Ding Yi.

By the way, he told the other party what he had just learned about Su Yueyue.

After hearing about the scorching sun curse, the latter nodded at first, but then narrowed his eyes and stood in the aisle outside the driver's window.

While tidying up the incubator, he slowly spoke:
"Su Yueyue's situation, I think, is somewhat similar to Liu Qian's awakening of superpowers..."

Lin Feng frowned slightly and quickly recalled the awakening trial when Liu Qian evolved across levels.

According to Liu Qian's description, during the trial she absorbed the sun's energy into her body, and then controlled and guided this energy to smoothly expel it from her body, thereby enduring the continuous exposure to the scorching sun.

And eventually awakened the ability to manipulate energy.

Lin Feng was worried that Liu Qian's body had already been infected by the scorching sun curse, but because she had not been exposed to concentrated sunlight, the amount absorbed was very small, not enough to threaten her life in a short period of time...

The subsequent awakening of related coping abilities seemed to be to resolve the curse of the scorching sun in the body.

But no one knew whether Liu Qian had truly cleared the remaining curse from her body. What if it was just dormant, temporarily suppressed by supernatural powers...

There may be another outbreak in the future.

It doesn't matter if she dies. What Lin Feng is worried about is that she will do anything to stay alive, and eventually become like those crazy people in the Fiery Sun Cult, sacrificing others to continue her own life.

Based on Liu Qian's personality and character, there is a high probability that she would end up like this.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng decided to find an opportunity to verify Liu Qian's situation and confirm that there was no problem.

As the situation is urgent now and Liu Qian doesn't show any discomfort, we can only let it go for now.

The mission is the most important thing. We’ll talk about it when we get back.

Ding Yi, who was the first to notice this, took out several exquisitely carved badges from his pocket.

Lin Feng turned his head and took a look.

It is the guild's shop in Holy Spring Village, selling the Holy Spring Church emblem with a symbolic well-shaped character in the middle.

When he had not yet been promoted to an Evolver, he could not feel the aura of holy water flowing inside, and Lin Feng even complained about a badge that actually cost hundreds of points to sell.

It seems that a hundred points are considered cheap nowadays.

After all, the emblem infused with concentrated holy spring water can have the effect of repelling the deformed creatures in the ruins.

Moreover, after being broken apart, it can be used to kill monsters or heal deformities caused by genetic infection.

It is a must-have item for evolvers going out on missions.

Ding Yi introduced:

"This is a concentrated holy water badge made by a second-level priest. A small portion of the holy spring water inside is of second-level quality, which can effectively expel first-level aberrations." "One costs 200 points. I bought two."

"Just now you said that the power of the Holy Spring has a significant suppressing effect on the Blazing Sun Curse. Perhaps with this, we can remove the Blazing Sun Curse that may be in Liu Qian's body?"

Lin Feng nodded, then he remembered that everyone should carry one of this thing. It is equivalent to putting on a layer of mental shield, which can save lives in an emergency.

So he quickly asked:

"Did you tell them to prepare one for each of them?"

Ding Yi hummed:

"Don't worry. After you introduced the mission yesterday, I reminded them to be prepared. After all, if something unexpected goes wrong and the team gets separated, they'll still have to rely on themselves."

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's good."

"Don't spread the news about Liu Qian yet. It's just suspicion right now, nothing has been confirmed yet. So that people won't have any wild thoughts along the way."

Ding Yi nodded seriously, she knew the importance of the matter.

Lin Feng then continued:
"Well, it's almost ten o'clock, and judging by the situation they'll be back soon, let's get ready to go."

"Wait, where's the divine dog?"

At this time, there was nothing under the back seat.

Ding Yi finished watering and closed the incubator lid:

"When the deacon and the others arrived just now, I was worried that the sacred dog would be discovered. Plus, its size made it unsuitable for lying under the seat, so I sent it to the transport vehicle in the back, where there's plenty of space."

Lin Feng nodded, and while controlling the steering wheel, he thought about the subsequent battle plan.

Behind the car that the two of them didn't see, the door of the rear compartment of the transport truck was secretly opened from the inside by the magic dog. A figure timidly got into the car and hid in the pile of meat.

Soon, around noon, the team members who went out to hand over the third tram returned to the camp smoothly after completing the final payment.

This time, Liu Mingfei picked out some minor issues that were not important and used 4,000 points to deduct 200 points, which he used to buy a comfortable ice silk soft mattress and bedding.

In addition, the team members also bought each other church badges for self-defense.

All members' contracts had expired, and Lin Feng gave way to Liu Mingfei. Led by Chen Shanshan, they visited the accommodation vehicle at the end of the team, which was slightly larger than a tank.

But in terms of power performance, it is far inferior to tanks.

After consuming the health points and upgrading it, Lin Feng immediately recruited all members and held a brief meeting before departure.

He took out a military magazine and handed the introduction about hollow-point bullets to Liu Qian.

On the way ahead, she would need to convert most of the rifle and pistol bullets into hollow-point bullets infused with holy water, and seal them with plastic if there was no paraffin.

Lin Feng also introduced the function of the church emblem.

The three vehicles were arranged in such a way that Liu Mingfei and Lin Feng took turns driving the tank, while the middle transport vehicle was given to A Ming, Ding Yi, and Liu Qian.

Finally, Chen Shanshan and A Lian were responsible for covering the accommodation and equipment vehicle.

In this way, the strongest fighters are distributed in the front and back to protect the three people in the middle.

Before the meeting ended, Lin Feng took out a map and explained the route to everyone in advance.

Starting from their current location, heading northwest for 200 kilometers, they will reach the ruins of Mount Tai, which was once the largest refuge in the entire Luzhou land.

Lin Feng still remembered the old Earth period and heard that there were at least tens of millions of survivors there.

However, they are not gathered in one shelter, but in an area, densely packed with hundreds of them.

"It's a distance of 200 kilometers. In Luzhou, where the terrain is very flat, the average driving speed can reach 20 kilometers per hour, so it only takes about ten hours to arrive."

"Everyone, please work hard. We'll work in two shifts. Take a break every six hours to eat, recover, and maintain your combat effectiveness."

Everyone nodded together.

After introducing everything, Lin Feng immediately asked the team members to return to their respective posts.

In the end, Chen Shanshan was asked to stay and she was only briefly told about Su Yueyue's complicated illness, without mentioning the curse of the scorching sun.

Just let her feel at ease.

Chen Shanshan nodded, not quite understanding. Although she didn't quite understand, she realized the importance of this mission, which concerned Su Yueyue's life safety.

Before leaving the chariot, she remembered something:

"By the way, guess who I met outside the guild this time?"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. He had just woken up from the wasteland and didn't know anyone in the Fifth Village...

The only person who could be related to the two of them is probably only one person:

"Are you talking about Tian Wanruo?"

Chen Shanshan's eyes lit up and she nodded:
"Yes, this guy is lucky. The Evolver team she belongs to has not returned since the last Evolver led the hunting team out on a mission."

"With the original housekeeper and Qi Shan taken care of by us, Tian Wanruo has successfully taken over the team. She is barely making ends meet by selling off the team's equipment and supplies."

Lin Feng frowned slightly:

"Do you think that with our current strength and status, can we directly take action and forcibly kill her in the Fifth Village?"

Chen Shanshan was stunned and hesitated:
"Well, let's not do that. Didn't you say that we're joining the church? Especially since we have horse training skills, we can't be too arrogant and conspicuous, otherwise we'll easily be targeted by the Li family..."

Lin Feng looked indifferent and did not respond.

Now, killing Tian Wanruo is as easy for him as crushing a bug.

But this does not mean that the grudges left behind in the past can be ignored.

Lin Feng has never been a tolerant and generous person. Having climbed out from the bottom, he is flexible and adaptable, but he is more aware of the mentality of people at the bottom of society.

Once villains gain power, they will not remember your kindness, but will only target you even more and disgust you.

Therefore, the best way to deal with them is to eradicate them completely and not leave a single one alive.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng slowly spoke:
"Have you tried to gather information about the identity of the Evolver behind Tian Wanruo?"

Chen Shanshan nodded:

"Liu Qian and A Ming mentioned it. I used my special hunter identity to investigate. The evolver's surname is Wang Chen, known as Lord Wang. He is a senior hunter who has been promoted to evolver for a long time and has already reached the mid-level evolutionary stage."

"The last time we went on a mission, we didn't go through the guild. Instead, we went through the Li family, a cooperative farm village. Perhaps it was related to the migration of the beasts in the Wild Rift..."

"After all, there are live horses there."

Lin Feng nodded after listening:

"I understand. Let's go back."

After Chen Shanshan left, Lin Feng sat in the passenger seat, took out a map, and instructed Liu Mingfei to lead the convoy to break away from the team.

At the same time, I was wondering where this so-called Wang Chen, or Lord Wang, had gone to? What mission had the Li family assigned him? Today was already the seventh day, and he still hadn't returned...

A convoy of three trams left Oasis Avenue and sped across the wilderness. Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering whether Wang Chen's departure was a backup plan arranged by the Li family.

Just as they arrived in front of Oasis Town...

Several thirty-meter-long heavy trucks rushed out from under the bow of the Oasis battleship!

It was the delayed pilgrim convoy!
