Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 127: Calculating weapons and ammunition, heading to the negative fourth floor

Lisa nodded, fully aware of the dangers on the negative third floor:

"Compared to the zombie-like aberrations, the Corruptors are more intelligent and can understand the danger. This is because their predecessors were infected evolutionaries..."

"So we can take advantage of the fact that the contaminated, distorted cells are afraid of light and high temperatures, and light a bonfire to effectively drive them away."

Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully and looked at the searchlight hanging on his chest.

Because it is powered by electricity, the brightness of the searchlight is far greater than that of a so-called campfire. It is also easy to use and carry and is less restricted by conditions. However, the only drawback is the temperature.

Unlike burning and flickering flames, it has a deterrent effect on aberrations.

Perhaps before entering the negative fourth floor, we should prepare some torches to increase the safety of the team's advance.

Seeing Lin Feng was stunned for a few seconds, Lisa saw what he was thinking and then reminded him:

"At the negative fourth floor and below, the air becomes extremely humid, and the surrounding area is filled with toxic, active mucus, and the temperature is only around 10 degrees Celsius..."

"It's impossible to light a large bonfire, and there's no point in moving forward with torches. It would also waste the already scarce oxygen in the air."

"If you stay in a low-oxygen environment for a long time, not only will your limbs become weak, but you will also be at risk of suffocation."

After listening to Lisa's introduction, Lin Feng took a deep breath.

As expected, the environment in this underground ruins is getting worse and worse. No wonder the six-man team of the Savior Army in front of them, whose evolution level is only slightly lower than their own team, can only do supporting work on the third floor.

To put it nicely, they are a support force, but to be honest, they are just a group of younger brothers who are responsible for keeping watch outside.

It's a pity that my team doesn't have enough people, otherwise I could learn from the Salvation Army and arrange three or four people to stay in the relatively safe underground third floor. Once something happens below, they can take timely response measures and provide rescue.

"Thank you!"

After understanding the general situation, Lin Feng said goodbye to Lisa and turned back to his team.

Looking at the man's departing back, Lisa wanted to say something but hesitated when she noticed the gazes of her colleagues.

I am different now than I was before. I have old Duncan pampering me and other members relying on me.

He had just arrived and had been a member of the Salvation Army for less than a week. At best, he was just a newcomer. He had already crossed the line by speaking without permission just now. If he continued to pursue him, it would probably create more resentment.

There is nothing else, mainly because the combat priest in Lin Feng's team is a monk from the Holy Spring Church.

Over the years, the Holy Spring Cult has been suppressing the surrounding second-rate wasteland forces, who are forced to become the church's dogs like the Li family in Farm Village...

Or they will be classified as wanderer forces, expelled from the major towns in the wasteland, and their living space will be squeezed.

Therefore, including the Salvation Army and other wandering forces outside the surface cave, they do not have much good feelings towards the church members. Instead, they are in a state of hostility with hatred and fear.

Lin Feng, who knew something about this, was tactful and did not stay for too long. He left decisively after obtaining the required information to avoid making things difficult for Lisa.

After returning to his team, Lin Feng briefly introduced the situation to everyone.

Zheng Yanying nodded. What Lisa said was very similar to the information she had collected from her memory.

Then they were arranged to walk into a dilapidated empty house, where only rotten table and bed boards were left, and there was not even a toothbrush or washbasin.

Sitting in a circle, Zheng Yanying began to lay out her plan:
"This is our first operation, so let's all go together. Starting from the negative fourth floor, the environment of the shelter ruins will become worse and worse. It will be so dark inside that you can't even see your hand in front of you..."

"The six of us will then advance in a three-by-three formation."

As she spoke, Zheng Yanying took out a piece of paper and pen and roughly drew their respective positions:
"Remember, the aberrations can appear from any direction, including beneath your feet or even above your head. The three people in front will form a triangle formation, responsible for searching the front, left and right, a 180-degree range."

"As for the three people at the back, they'll use the triangle formation in front as a template and monitor the 180-degree area behind them."

"The tempo and pace are controlled by the four players on either side."

"As for the personnel arrangements, for now, it will remain the same. I will lead, and Lin Feng will follow, commanding the front and back directions respectively."

After talking about the exploration formation, Zheng Yanying looked at Lin Feng:
"Which two of your three-person team do you want? I suggest taking Shen Yue with you. Although she's only an assistant priest, her special ability's explosive combat power is no less than that of a level 17 first-order late evolver."

"Combined with the power of the Holy Spring within my body, I'm not afraid of contamination and can act as a temporary human shield..."

"Hey Hey hey?"

Shen Yue's protest was simply ignored.

Lin Feng nodded. Even though he knew that the church team wanted to supervise them, what Zheng Yanying said was indeed correct. If the two church monks went separately, it would effectively reduce the casualties of the two teams in front and behind.

Reduce the chances of yourself and your team members being attacked, injured, or infected by aberrations.

"Shen Yue comes with me, and A'lian and A'ming will follow you. They've both been inhabitants for many years, and were once members of Oasis Town's top-tier wastelander team. They have extensive combat experience."

Seeing Chen Shanshan sitting next to him, Lin Feng reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes. After thinking about it, he decided to let A Lian and her sister follow Zheng Yanying.

The main reason was that Shen Yue, as an assistant priest, was far less powerful than Zheng Yanying, a combat priest, and the latter also had experience in the ruins...

Therefore, it would be more appropriate to let Chen Shanshan, who is in the middle stage of the first level, follow him and serve as his right-hand man.

Of course, as the owner of the two branded weapons, the armor-piercing cannon and the rapid-fire cannon, Lin Feng is fully confident that he can challenge thousands of aberrations alone.

Not everyone has three hundred tungsten core armor-piercing cannons!

Each bullet deals up to 150 points of damage, enough to kill any late-stage first-order evolver.

Even an early second-stage deformed form can be blown to pieces with one shot!
The firepower output of the rapid-fire gun is even more abnormal!
That’s a full three thousand bombs!

Although each shot can only kill a mid-level existence with 100 points of damage, its firepower is too strong.

In automatic mode under the extreme pursuit attribute, the firing rate is ten rounds per second, which is more powerful than the machine guns on most infantry fighting vehicles.

With such powerful firepower, if Lin Feng is given some more time, he can clear out a layer of deformities by himself.

To be honest, if the church team hadn't insisted on following him, Lin Feng's original plan would have been to massacre the ruins!
As a result, they met Shen Yue and his two companions at the beginning. Then, when they arrived outside the ruins, they saw groups of wanderers who refused to leave.

The plan was completely disrupted.

The news about the arsenal and military factory far exceeded Lin Feng's initial expectations.

Now, in order to avoid exposing his own abilities and potential, he could only proceed cautiously and follow Zheng Yanying's arrangements.

It was mainly a large-caliber rifle that could fire a full three thousand small grenades, which was truly shocking.

As far as Lin Feng knows, the most powerful first-level firearms ability evolver cannot even reach one-tenth of the strength of a rapid-fire cannon.

Since upgrading the space magazine attribute, Lin Feng has never tried this before, and he used up all the spare ammunition in one breath.

Such firepower is comparable to that of a heavy armored company of one hundred people, each of whom is armed with a grenade launcher, equipped with thirty grenades, and then continues to concentrate fire on the attack.

And after firing, the shells can automatically recover.

If this were to get out, Lin Feng felt that the next day, he would be lying on a secret laboratory table of some large force, being studied as a guinea pig.

So sometimes, although having more people can help pool wisdom and avoid many risks, for a player like Lin Feng who only reveals 1% of his true strength...

It is also a kind of helpless forced caution.

You have to survive all the way until the mission is over.

After dividing the personnel, Zheng Yanying immediately asked about everyone's weapons and ammunition, and used this to roughly estimate the maximum distance of this first exploration of the negative fourth floor.

Based on the situation of being surrounded and blocked by hundreds of mutants, we can calculate the limit of the team's firepower on the fourth floor and the range at which they can retreat to the entrance and exit.

As Lisa reminded, keep two-thirds of your weapons and ammunition for retreat.

Zheng Yanying's calculations were more direct. After all, she had personally witnessed the ruins and was very experienced.

"My weapon is this alloy hammer. It can release holy spring water at the moment of impact. In the backpack on the back of the armor, there are 100 liters of diluted first-level holy spring water, which can support more than a thousand blows of the hammer..."

"Enough to kill a thousand first-order aberrations!"

Zheng Yanying spoke first and introduced herself:

"So you don't have to worry about me. I will also do my best to take care of your safety during the retreat."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Yue beside her.

The latter took out a folding white-painted shield from his armor backpack, which looked like the equipment of a combat priest.

When unfolded, it can cover an area of ​​three square meters.

"This is a titanium shield, which can effectively withstand attacks under ten tons. Combined with my enhanced physical state, it can block enemies from one direction."

"There are spikes on the shield that can release holy spring water. If a mutant attacks, they'll bite and squeeze it, which is enough to make them drink a pot of water."

"So I can hold up the holy shield at the back and clear a way for everyone to escape!"

After saying that, Shen Yue raised her shield proudly. This heavy shield weighing nearly one ton seemed quite flexible in her hands.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Zheng Yanying was right. Shen Yue, who had little combat experience, was only suitable to be a meat shield. It was probably because she was equipped with a shield at the beginning to cooperate with Zheng Yanying in close combat.

Even so, Shen Yue is considered the most resilient among the assistant priests in Oasis Town. After all, she has the ability to strengthen her stomach, which allows her to maintain a continuous frenzy state.

With a little training, he can also be a good close combat fighter.

It was probably because she was forced out to train for the upcoming decisive battle.

After the two members of the church team introduced themselves, it was Lin Feng's turn. A Mingliang took out the brand new AK rifle and slowly introduced it:

"A classic AK, using empowered full-power bullets, can kill early to mid-stage first-stage Evolvers. Our team has created hollow-point bullets infused with holy water. Two magazines hold sixty rounds, each capable of severely damaging a first-stage aberration."

"Currently, there are five magazines of 150 rounds of Empowered Bullets, and two magazines of 60 rounds of Holy Spring Hollow Point Bullets."

"Alian and I have the same equipment."

After saying that, Amin looked calmly at Lin Feng, who was two body lengths away from her.

The most useful additional attribute of the optimized level 9 fine AK rifle is the bullet recovery of one shot per second. As long as the special magazine installed during the upgrade, it can recover one full-power bullet per second.

Although there is no empowerment, the damage of full-power bullets cannot be underestimated.

In the absence of armor, it can easily penetrate the flesh and blood of a first-level evolver and shatter the limbs and torso of a first-level deformer with just two more shots.

So this is also the team’s last trump card.

It is mainly the bullet recovery ability, which is an extension of Lin Feng's optimization ability.

As early as when Lin Feng handed over the upgraded AK and pistol to everyone, he had specifically and solemnly explained that the special ability of bullet recovery must be kept secret.

Firstly, it can prevent other scavengers from snooping, and secondly, it can serve as the team's secret trump card to prevent any unexpected events.

The bullets stored in the special magazine cannot be taken out, and although one round per second seems like a lot, it is only suitable for burst fire mode during low-intensity combat.

Once the automatic shooting mode is turned on, the speed of twenty rounds per second means that even if the bullet recovery speed is increased tenfold, it still cannot keep up with the consumption of strafing.

Therefore, the bullet recovery attribute alone does not significantly improve the firepower of firearms.

Only by combining with the space magazine can you create the effect of one gun being worth ten.

Unfortunately, this attribute needs to be upgraded through branding and specifying the strengthening direction and location.

However, the ability to automatically replenish bullets also greatly improves the sustained combat capabilities of A-Lian and A-Ming.

The two men also purchased silencers for AK rifles for this operation, ensuring concealment.

After listening to the two people's introduction, Zheng Yanying nodded with satisfaction.

One hundred and fifty empowered bullets, combined with sixty holy water hollow-point bullets, can deal with at least one hundred first-level aberrations. For an evolver who is only at the early stage of the first level, this is already top-level strength.

It seems that Lin Feng's team is not overconfident. They have also made sufficient preparations for this relic operation.

After learning about the two women's combat power and equipment, Zheng Yanying looked at Lin Feng and the other person opposite.

Chen Shanshan waved the titanium spear in her hand and took out the demon-repelling holy flame hanging on her waist:
"I'm a close combat fighter, and my weapon is a titanium alloy spear. For this operation, I specially purchased a church weapon for special attacks against demons, called the Holy Flame of Demon Repulsion."

When the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame was displayed in front of everyone, under the light of the searchlight, the golden patterns on the gun and the scriptures engraved on it immediately attracted people's attention.

Zheng Yanying and Shen Yue were slightly dazed.

However, for the Lord's believers, they are actually completely immune to the spiritual pollution and whispers in the underground ruins.

By silently chanting "Praise the Holy Lord" in your heart, you can cooperate with the power of the Holy Spring in your body to eliminate all negative mental effects.

Although she was a little distracted, the two of them kept staring at the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame in Chen Shanshan's hand, and surprise gradually appeared on their faces.

Lin Feng coughed lightly:
"Don't overthink it. We bought this from the Wasteland Hunting Guild. There's absolutely no problem with where it came from."

"It currently has twenty-eight spare rounds. By injecting concentrated holy water into the holy water tanks outside the two barrels, it can double the damage to the aberrations."

"For now, it should be no problem to severely damage the early-stage second-stage aberration. If we're lucky, we can even kill it directly."

The Demon-Repelling Holy Flame, originally at level 14, had a damage of 120 after being upgraded to level 16 by Lin Feng.

The last upgrade before departure was to level 17, adding four tungsten core armor-piercing cannons. In addition to the additional damage increase, unfortunately there is still no bullet recovery or space magazine attributes.

"Demon-Repelling Holy Flame lv17, red quality"

"Basic Attributes: Damage 130, Effective Range 100m, Damage Coverage 6m, Remaining Ammo 2/26; Upgraded to Host Level Cap."

「额外属性：对魔特攻(击杀污染物时伤害+100%)；范围杀伤(双发炮弹覆盖半径6米，中心2米伤害130)；特级圣水(2/2)」

「Added additional attribute: Armor-piercing shells」

"Armor-piercing shells: Armor-piercing ability +100%, shell damage +10"

"Note: The anti-demon attack effect requires soaking in holy water. Two hundred milliliters of holy water is enough to enchant two hundred large-caliber shells."

"Rating: An upgraded and optimized special-grade demon-killing weapon. Its armor-piercing ability is particularly effective against second-tier contaminated entities. It also has a certain deterrent effect on mutant lifeforms. Aside from its inability to fire continuously, it has virtually no drawbacks. Please use it immediately in combat, or when you believe it can be a one-shot kill."

Looking at the attribute data appearing in the corner of his eyes, Lin Feng sighed imperceptibly.

The two incredible attributes of space magazine and bullet recovery seem to be easy to upgrade only in white-quality firearms below level ten. If you want to upgrade them above level ten, you have to rely on your own branding ability.

Lin Feng felt that it was probably related to the emergence of superpowers. If he wanted to upgrade the relevant additional attributes without branding, he had to integrate the corresponding materials.

Perhaps this trip to the ruins, in addition to searching for the wild wolf essence, we can find some special materials.

The power armor that Chen Shanshan has not yet worn is a treasure excavated from the ruins of a prehistoric shelter.

Unfortunately, since there were not many mutants on the upper three floors of the Feicheng shelter in the past, any valuable items would have been looted long ago.

If you want to find good treasures, you have to go deeper.

Risking contamination and assimilation by the aberrants, as well as infection by the relic's genetic radiation.

As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger!

Strength is the best way to resolve risks.

At this moment, after the lethality of the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame was introduced, everyone looked at it with awe.

After all, the doubled damage to the aberration, the original 140 points of damage, was directly increased to 280 points!
Lin Feng was right. Even a second-stage early-stage mutant could be severely damaged instantly, making it a powerful weapon in the team.

Moreover, in the Dark Endless Sanctuary, the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame has a limited range of 100 meters, so it cannot be considered a disadvantage at all.

Apart from the slow reload, it has no flaws.

I originally thought that Lin Feng chose Chen Shanshan to take care of her frightened state, but I didn't expect that this masked girl had such a powerful weapon.

With this demon-repelling holy flame in hand, the ones who should be afraid are those deformed creatures!

Before Chen Shanshan put away the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame...

Zheng Yanying took one last deep look.

Unlike the missionary influence of deacons and priests, as a combat chaplain, Zheng Yanying was quite impressed by this weapon.

It came from the Holy See, from a certain important figure in the armed guards, but that important figure who was active hundreds of years ago has become a taboo in the history of the church.

This is also why the weapons he once used were transferred to the Hunting Guild.

After learning about Chen Shanshan's weapons and equipment, only the last one was left, and he was the only male present.

As Zheng Yanying's gaze shifted to him, Lin Feng slowly raised the rapid-fire cannon in his hand:
"I'm a firearms user with special abilities. I can enhance the power of firearms. This enhanced large-caliber AK rifle can fire sixty rounds of Holy Spring hollow-point bullets, or empowered bullets."

"Using my special ability, I can also transform normal full-power bullets into explosive-enhanced bullets when shooting. I currently carry a total of 300 bullets."

"As for the other weapon, it's a beefed-up small-sized energy grenade. It's more powerful, but it can't fire continuously. I have thirty spare rounds I bought from the Wasteland Hunter Guild."

"The damage can kill a first-level internally evolved life form, or severely injure a second-level aberration."

"That's my situation."

"The three-member team at the rear will be led by me as the firepower, Chen Shanshan will be in close combat and provide vision, and Shen Yue will be on defense to protect the safety of the team."

While Lin Feng was introducing, he also proposed the subsequent combat plan.

Zheng Yanying nodded. As the team leader, Lin Feng was indeed very powerful, but most of his combat power came from his own special abilities.

"You two follow behind me and provide vision illumination and fire support. Leave the rest of the protection and attack to me."

After roughly understanding the situation, Zheng Yanying first explained the subsequent battle plan to the two women beside her, Alian and Aming, and then made some notes on the paper...

After a series of calculations, we found the maximum safe distance the team can currently explore:
"Judging from the current situation, we have absolutely no problem with firepower and lethality. We can at least explore the entire underground -4th floor."

"But considering it's our first time entering, to be on the safe side, we'll only go halfway, five kilometers."

"With the exit from Level -4 as the center, draw a semicircle with a radius of five kilometers. We will head to the less crowded areas on the left and right."

After giving the conclusion, Zheng Yanying stood up without pausing for a moment and said:
"Everyone, pack up and get ready. Load all your guns and remember to turn off the safety in advance."

"Aberrations don't give you time to react."

After that, the group of six spent five minutes making final preparations.

Zheng Yanying then led the team according to the established formation and continued to the deepest part of the negative third floor.

There is the entrance to the fourth floor below the ruins.

After they left, a captain of the Salvation Army team, dressed in battle armor, slowly took out a walkie-talkie with a wire:
"Hey, if you hear me, please answer."

　A little late, went fishing in the morning.
