Chapter 164: Escape from the ruins, the wolf tribe plans, and chaos is coming
Under Lin Feng's orders and urging, it took everyone less than twenty minutes to finish packing and preparing, and they quickly left the entrance of the Feicheng shelter and headed south, away from the entire Taishan ruins.
Ma Chenfeng carried out Lin Feng's orders decisively and thoroughly. After choosing to remain loyal and leave, he emptied his three dilapidated transport trucks in just ten minutes.
All the debris piled up inside, even the collected steel and other cold weapon raw materials, were distributed to other wanderers nearby to ensure that they could help Captain Lin transport the goods in the future.
During this time, other wanderers also came to help, picking out the supplies they needed to speed up the cleanup.
Although they were wary of each other, they still maintained a superficial friendship, mainly because there were no huge benefits or precious treasures worth taking action for yet.
Now that Ma Chenfeng has successfully joined the ranks of a newly promoted second-level evolver, and wants to make a name for himself so that he can clean himself up and "get back on shore" in the future, everyone naturally congratulates him.
After all, with the firearms ability of this second-level evolver, it is only a matter of time before he soars to fame and success in the future. As long as he can grow up, even if he takes the alien evolution path with the most restrictions and the lowest potential, he can become a hegemon, second only to the third-level king.
Establishing a top-tier second-rate force or ruling your own town of tens of thousands of people is no problem.
By then, Ma Chenfeng will also be able to achieve success and his family will prosper, and naturally he will no longer need the supply of waste and debris.
However, the prerequisite is that he can gain the recognition of the second-level evolver before that and live to see the day when the other party rises successfully.
After distributing his accumulated wealth, Ma Chenfeng left with Lin Feng's team, along with his sixteen subordinates, including four first-stage early evolvers.
Three of the five dilapidated trams were transport vehicles, and were only level 11 or 12. Lin Feng then consumed 15 health points to upgrade them one by one.
For Lin Feng, who is now at level 20, upgrading to items at the early stage of the first stage is very fast and only takes a few minutes.
However, it was only upgraded to one level, and the improvement in the attributes of the transport vehicles was limited. But Lin Feng’s real purpose was to repair their durability, which had long been in jeopardy.
After checking the status of the transport truck, Lin Feng realized that Ma Chenfeng was a little self-boasting.
In fact, the vehicle equipment in his hands has aged to the point that it can only maintain a speed of seven or eight kilometers per hour. When fully loaded, the speed is even only two or three kilometers per hour.
It is only about three or four times faster than the snail-like movement of the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone behind him.
If it is used to travel across the wasteland, it is certainly more than enough, but if you want to keep up with the pace of Lin Feng's team, you can't even catch the dust raised by the rear of the team.
By upgrading and refurbishing the aging lead-acid batteries in the transport vehicle, the original maximum load of seven or eight tons can be restored. Even if it is loaded with five tons of wolf bones and wolf skins, it can maintain a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour.
This speed is already enough to initially realize long-distance transportation tasks in the wasteland.
As for the other light tanks and dormitory vehicles, they could barely keep up with the main force, so Lin Feng did not help them upgrade and renovate.
The main reason is that Ma Chenfeng and others have not passed the test yet and are outsiders, so it is inconvenient to reveal more secrets.
The vehicle crew arrangement for this trip was that, except for Liu Mingfei who continued to drive the level 17 Rock Horse chariot, he was driving at the front of the convoy and was responsible for leading the way.
A Lian drove the transport vehicle in the team, carrying the bullet production machine, and walked behind the three newly added transport vehicles. Chen Shanshan stayed in one of the vehicles to keep watch.
Ma Chenfeng and his men sat in the remaining vehicles, following at the end of the team, responsible for guarding the rear.
The convoy set out from outside the Feicheng shelter and headed straight south without stopping.
Leaving the Taishan ruins, we rushed towards Oasis Avenue.
The reason why they were in such a hurry to leave was not to reach Oasis Town as soon as possible.
At this time, only six or seven hours had passed since the church team set out to return to the oasis.
Zheng Yanying and others, as well as Ding Yi's three daughters, are probably still on their way back.
The real reason why Lin Feng ordered a quick retreat was that Zong Shiyue suddenly remembered an important crisis after getting on the car!
That was the destruction that Lin Feng caused to the Feicheng underground shelter tunnel more than an hour ago!
Although the noises of the explosion and collapse have been mostly attenuated when transmitted to the surface more than 100 meters above sea level, except for the direct collapse area, it is actually difficult for people wandering around nearby to notice the mountain collapse five or six kilometers away.
It’s just that humans’ long-range perception is not very sharp, but it doesn’t mean that other creatures are incapable of it.
Especially carnivores that can track for thousands of miles often need to run dozens of kilometers to find prey.
The best way to increase the success rate of hunting is to enhance perception.
This is also why many wild animals can perceive things that humans cannot, such as sensing the coming of disasters such as earthquakes and storms, or feeling unwell, sensing signs of illness, or being alert to impending danger.
Especially top hunters like the Steppenwolf, who have been at the top of the food chain since the old Earth period. When they travel in groups, they can challenge prey several times their size. Even primitive humans dare not provoke them easily.
In the wasteland era, they still reproduce today, and their various sensory abilities have been evolved to the limit, and the sensitivity of smell is just one of them.
Even slight vibrations more than ten kilometers away, such as the sound of migrating beasts' hooves, can be keenly detected through the wolf's ears and paw pads.
Although the sound of the mountain collapse caused by Lin Feng was blocked by the rock layer, the up and down vibrations could not escape the perception of the Steppe Wolf.
Even though there were more than ten thousand-meter-high mountain ranges between the two sides, and a distance of more than ten kilometers...
Crawling in the Falling Wolf Valley, the second-stage old wolf general at the entrance of the Taishan Shelter, who is also the strongest patriarch-level wasteland wolf guarding the Wolf King's Tomb, slowly opened his eyes and looked deeply to the west.
At the same time, the other early-stage second-level giant wolves in the Meteoric Wolf Valley also noticed something was happening and walked out from the shadows of the valley.
At the entrance of the Taishan Shelter, many first-level wasteland wolves that were undergoing trials escaped. The shock of the explosion awakened the second-level corpse wolves at the bottom of the Wolf King's Tomb and also frightened the wasteland wolves on the upper three levels.
At this moment, Lang Ao, the leader of the wolf clan, slowly spoke and said to the giant wolves with a low roar:
"Something probably happened inside the ruins. We need to go in and take a look."
The descendants of Lang Ao, several giant wolves in the early stage of the second stage, replied:
"Could it be the shelter to the west?"
"Judging from the direction and location of the vibration, it is closer to the Feicheng ruins."
"Yes, we should go and take a look first."
Lang Ao frowned slightly:
"Leader Bai from the Salvation Army just came to say goodbye. There shouldn't be anyone with such strength in the Feicheng ruins. Don't worry, just be patient..."
"If there's a massive genetic radiation leak there, even I could be contaminated if I go in. You haven't experienced this yet and lack experience. Stay here and wait for the vibrations to subside. Then, go into the Wolf King's Tomb and check it out." "Once there's nothing serious going on inside, we'll go check out the Feicheng ruins."
Lang Ao sighed, looked at the wolves in the valley, and continued:
"Now that our race is declining, each of us is a seed and hope for future revival and rise. We cannot let it be contaminated by radiation from the restricted area in vain."
The genetic radiation from the Wolf King will pollute the Feicheng shelter, making Zong Shiyue unable to recover forever. On the contrary, the radiation pollution from the restricted area of Feicheng ruins will also cause the Wasteland Wolf clan to suffer from contamination and become a distorted existence.
Not only will they be unable to evolve and become stronger, they will even fall into madness, as if they were infected with rabies.
It would be ok if it just destroyed itself, but it is also highly contagious. The distorted pollution will accumulate in the evolved cells. The alienated cells of the steppe wolf, in addition to the hind leg meat and heart, are also in the saliva in the gaps between the steel wolf fangs.
Once the wasteland wolves are driven mad by pollution, they will attack other wolves at will like rabid dogs, causing a large-scale catastrophic crisis.
It spread like a plague.
That's why Lang Ao didn't allow any members of his tribe to rashly explore the Feicheng ruins. Because of their slow brain development and low mental attributes, the beastmen are less resistant to pollution than humans.
However, there will be no pollution problem if you enter the Wolf King Tomb in the Taishan ruins.
On the contrary, the deeper you go, the more the genetic radiation from the Wolf King will promote the evolution of cells in your body.
They have to face the attacks of the second-level zombie wolves, as well as the restlessness of the evolutionary cells in their bodies, which will cause the consumption of physical strength.
Out of caution, Lang Ao organized a wolf pack an hour later and went deep into the ruins to investigate the situation.
The team is led by three early-stage second-level giant wolves and includes more than ten leader-level wasteland wolves, which are enough to deal with most dangers.
As they entered the ruins, it took them nearly an hour to reach the station entrance on the negative fifth floor. Only then did they notice a large amount of smoke and dust wafting out of the tunnel entrance...
The three leading patriarch-level giant wolves immediately realized what was happening underground.
When he was about to return to the surface to inform Lang Ao, a mid-stage second-order corpse wolf and a late-stage second-order corpse wolf that was so huge that it filled the entire tunnel emerged from the tunnel!
After a fierce fight, at the cost of losing several first-stage late-stage leader-level wasteland wolves, the wolves finally escaped from the ruins covered in wounds.
It was more than half an hour later when they returned to the Meteorite Wolf Valley on the surface. At this time, Lin Feng and others had already left the Feicheng shelter for a long time and were driving on the wasteland towards Oasis Avenue.
When Lang Ao learned about the accident in the tunnel, he narrowed his eyes slightly and did not follow the advice of his descendants to go to the Feicheng ruins to check the specific situation, nor lead a large force to the underground fifth-floor station to clear the collapsed tunnel.
Instead, after pondering for a while, he ordered his wolf army to prepare to march towards Oasis Avenue.
The three giant wolves in the early stage of the second stage were somewhat puzzled and looked at their elderly father, who was also the leader of this wolf tribe and one of the five wolf generals under the command of the Wolf King.
Lang Ao, whose facial hair had gradually turned white, slowly spoke:
"There are less than four days left until the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone descends. Judging by the duration of the tremors, the collapsed road section is at least five hundred meters long..."
"If there were no second-level zombie wolves interfering, and if we were lucky enough to build a new tunnel, we would still have a chance to complete the dredging before the scorching sun sets."
"But now we have no chance."
"The collapse of the tunnel means the seal has been lifted, and the gods will no longer fulfill their promise. We must immediately absorb the third-order essence from the Wolf King's Tomb after the scorching sun ends, and give birth to a new third-order Wolf King. Only then can we have a glimmer of hope in the coming chaos..."
The young patriarch-level giant wolf was still somewhat puzzled:
"Is it because the large human forces, those third-level kings, covet the legacy of the Wolf King, which will lead to the wolf tribe facing the crisis of extinction?"
Lang Ao shook his head and looked towards the south:
"The restricted area of Mount Tai's ruins seals a being that surpasses all present-day gods. After thousands of years of pollution, it has transformed into an evil god..."
"Usually, we rely on the king's suppression and consumption, as well as the double blow of the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone, to keep it weak and unable to escape."
"Now that the tunnel has collapsed, if we give it a few years to breathe, once the scorching sun restricted zone is over, it will inevitably return to the surface and start a dark turmoil."
"I'm old now. I followed the Wolf King on his expeditions. I don't have the ability or qualifications to defeat the second-level zombie wolves. My hopes rest with you..."
"In the next few years, I must do everything I can to evolve to the late second stage, or even the peak stage of level 29, to meet the upcoming challenge from the Wolf King."
"I originally wanted to reject Bai Ye's invitation, although she later withdrew her proposal. However, the situation now forces us to do so. Everyone involved in this conflict in Oasis Town should take a share of it, and we should also take a piece of the pie to enhance our strength."
After listening to Lang Ao's analysis, one of the three early-stage second-level giant wolves frowned and said:
"But father, back then, the Li family's Patriarch, Li Hao, had a cooperation and agreement with us. Together we killed the Clan Leader-level, Second-order Intermediate-stage Rockhorn Horse. Since then, we have lived in peace and harmony according to our agreement."
"You declined the Salvation Army leader's proposal because of this. If we act rashly now and fail, and word gets out, it will be very detrimental to our future actions."
Lang Ao snorted coldly. Some of his sons had been fooled by humans and were now too attached to morality. They felt that everything needed a valid reason.
"I remember a wolf pack disappeared while passing through Oasis Town. Among them was the descendant of the Wolf King. We originally planned to let them age for a few years and then come to the Wolf King's Tomb this year to absorb the blessings and achieve evolution..."
"Use this as an excuse to deal with humans."
Several chief-level giant wolves looked at each other, nodded, and then took their leave and began to organize their respective tribes.
In fact, reputation is still very important.
The reason why the wolf tribe has been able to survive all these years is not only because of the gods' protection of the Wolf King's Tomb, but also because of the good cooperation between the tribe's leaders and humans.
For example, on this section of Oasis Avenue, the Li family had repeatedly refused to take action against the Steppenwolves.
Reputation is not worth mentioning in the face of current survival, but it is particularly important in long-term development.
A person who does not keep his word may gain a small profit temporarily, but when it comes to the critical moment of life and death, he will be the first to be abandoned.
This also applies to relations between countries.
The once invincible third-level gun king was hunted down because of his fickleness and arrogance. Not only did he ruin his own path to becoming a god, but he also cut off the future of his gun abilities.
Now, under Lang Ao's decision, the wolf clan leaders took the lead in tearing off the mask of hypocrisy and launching an attack on their former allies. This also means that a turbulent and chaotic world will sweep across the world. With the appearance of Lin Feng, it is about to come...
At this time, Lin Feng was still immersed in the joy of the large amount of pure second-level source material in his hands, and it was difficult to calm down his excitement.
The silvery-white liquid in the test tube...
Priceless!
