Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 187 The Second Level Expert, Arms Deal
As soon as he finished speaking, Zong Shiyue's shadow completely disappeared.

But his words still lingered in Lin Feng's mind.

Looking at his gradually clearing vision and regaining consciousness, Lin Feng frowned slightly.

It wasn't because of Zong Shiyue's last joke, but because of the complicated background behind Chen Shanshan's supernatural powers.

As the heir to the Eternal Night Empire, to become the ruler of this huge force, one needs more than just strong personal strength.

Since the Night Emperor is already a god, he must have several third-stage late-stage Heavenly Kings under his command. Chen Shanshan is as insignificant as a mayfly in front of them.

Even if one's strength has reached the late third stage, it is not an easy task to take over and control the entire empire.

Especially if it is an airborne way, even if he finally succeeds in taking the throne by chance through blood ties and current disputes, he will still have to face the double-crossing and secret undermining of all parties, and become a mascot on the throne.

Nowadays, managing a convoy of dozens of people is a bit beyond his ability. Lin Feng is not arrogant enough to challenge the complicated government of a country.

Although the distance is huge, it is still feasible to make good use of this relationship and go to the northernmost Eternal Night Empire to gain some benefits.

After all, Chen Shanshan is a descendant of God.

Relying on his own bloodline talent, it should not be a problem to advance to the early and middle stages of the third level. If there are enough resources, there will be no problem in rushing to the late third level, after all, he has a blood relative of a god.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng planned to build a royal city when he entered the third level in the future, openly break up with the Holy Spring Sect, and then flee to the north with a large number of people and resources.

After all, if he becomes a third-order king, the secret of his pure evolution will inevitably be exposed. Coupled with his ambitious impact on the late third order, the church will definitely be prepared as long as it is not blind.

At that time, Chen Shanshan's divine background will be a way out for everyone in the wasteland.

After roughly understanding Chen Shanshan's situation, the space inside the chariot completely returned to normal.

The last bit of dark energy was taken back into the girl's body.

Not long after, Chen Shanshan, who was lying on the bed in the back seat, slowly opened her eyes.

The black ripples in his eyes gradually disappeared, revealing the whites of his eyes and a pair of dark, deep pupils.

Lin Feng did not take it lightly. He kept the high-performance sports mode of his power armor on, even if it meant consuming several times the remaining power.

The 50% strength and 100% speed bonus allow Lin Feng to easily obtain the attribute strength of the mid-second stage.

But after witnessing the horror of the Dark Domain, Lin Feng felt that even this was not safe. After all, it had the ability to block all perception. No matter how strong his own power was, he could not lock onto the target's position.

Therefore, the dark domain ability is actually very suitable for assassination operations against a single target.

It's tailor-made for professional assassins.

Fortunately, as Chen Shanshan opened her eyes, her self-awareness gradually recovered and she did not go into a frenzy.

After a brief moment of confusion, she suddenly took a deep breath.

Then he gasped for breath, as if he had experienced a life-and-death crisis and was still in shock after escaping death by chance.

Lin Feng hurried forward, untied the bandage on her chest, and relieved it a little.

After recovering from her shock, Chen Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Feng also untied the straps on her limbs so that she could move freely.

Chen Shanshan sat up and was about to speak excitedly when she suddenly felt a rumbling sound in her stomach. She felt weak and powerless all over.

Lin Feng smiled, took out a piece of level 20 evolved jerky from the freezer beside him, and handed it to the other party.

The latter took the dark red piece of meat with curiosity, the desire and urgency in his eyes were beyond words.

After quickly finishing a whole piece of dried meat and drinking two large bottles of fresh water, Chen Shanshan wiped her mouth and burped. Then she rubbed her bulging belly and said with emotion:

"It has to be level 20 evolutionary meat. Eating it will give you energy."

Lin Feng nodded:
"Of course, this piece will cost one thousand points. If it were sold in Oasis Town right now, it would probably fetch five thousand points!"

Chen Shanshan was stunned for a moment and smacked her lips:

"I should have eaten slowly and savored the flavor."

Lin Feng frowned slightly. He remembered that he was full after eating half a piece, but now Chen Shanshan had eaten a whole piece and looked like she was still not satisfied...

Is there any difference in the appetite of second-level evolvers?

Then he opened his mouth and asked:
"Aren't you full yet?"

Chen Shanshan narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling the endless energy in her abdomen flowing into her limbs and body, and shook her head:
"I'm full, but I should be able to eat more. It might be because I used up a lot of energy releasing before."

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

If this whole piece of evolved meat jerky is not enough to feed them, then the 300 pieces of level 20 meat jerky stored in the freezer will definitely not be able to feed two early stage second stage evolvers at the same time to fight at full strength in the upcoming battle.

If it's just one piece, then just double the fifty pieces of evolved jerky originally allocated to Chen Shanshan to one hundred pieces.

Lin Feng kept another hundred yuan for himself, and the remaining less than a hundred yuan was specifically used to upgrade items and equipment.

Considering that Chen Shanshan, as a descendant of God, has an appetite twice as big as that of an ordinary second-level evolver, it makes sense. After all, the functions and effects of the Dark Domain are far beyond the reach of other second-level evolvers, so it is understandable that the state consumption is greater.

After recovering from his physical overdraft and recovering, Lin Feng began to ask about the other party's awakening of superpowers.

It was also to directly confirm Zong Shiyue's speculations and inferences from her mouth.

Chen Shanshan nodded. She had planned to tell Lin Feng all this before, but was interrupted by hunger.

Now seeing Lin Feng's calm expression, she also felt relieved and slowly said:

"Just like you said, during the Ability Awakening Trial Challenge, I encountered a Level 3 Aberration from the negative third floor of the ruins. Fortunately, the other party was not wearing armor, so no matter how powerful he was, he was just a flesh and blood body."

"After a bit of fighting, I quickly figured out a solution."

"Originally, I was still thinking about how to develop my superpowers to deal with a mid-level second-order aberration, but I didn't expect that after reaching level 19, I was fully capable of killing a third-order aberration."

"So the physical ability hasn't changed."

"The change occurred after I finished the kill. A door appeared on the aberration's body. It was different from the last time it evolved to the first level. Behind the door was filled with energy fluctuations that were exactly the same as the superpowers in my body."

"Out of caution, I didn't plan to step into it at first, but as the challenge ended, the entire spiritual trial world began to collapse, and I had no choice but to leave through this door."

"But as soon as I entered the door, I was enveloped by endless darkness, and I couldn't even see my hand in front of me."

"It was then that I realized that the dark world before me was the true trial of awakening my superpowers. I must learn to regain my perception of the outside world in this darkness in order to regain my ability to move."

"Then comes the long and lonely phase of exploration."

"The flow of time inside and outside must be different. It felt like several days had passed, so I was very anxious."

"Finally, I used my own supernatural powers to merge with the outside world, and finally regained some of my perception. I was able to walk freely in the darkness and find a door to leave."

"But behind this..."

At this point, confusion and bewilderment appeared in Chen Shanshan's eyes. Lin Feng did not say anything, but looked at her quietly, waiting for her next words.

After a moment, Chen Shanshan said:

"My body kept falling, like I was drowning in the ocean, and I couldn't breathe."

"I saw my father and mother standing in the shadows behind me. They slowly emerged and pulled me out of the spiritual world." "Then a large amount of information flooded into my mind like a flood, and then I woke up."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. After Zong Shiyue's advance explanation, it was actually easy to understand Chen Shanshan's experience.

These anomalies were most likely a legacy left to their daughter by one of her parents after they became gods.

"That information..." Lin Feng finally spoke.

Chen Shanshan gradually came back to her senses:

"It's all about the superpowers within me. It's called the Dark Domain. Specifically, it's a type of dark energy. It doesn't react with any matter or energy, and humans can't observe it..."

"But after it's released from my body, I can use it to block out real-world matter or energy. And with a certain level of control, I can even use it to directly wipe out a target."

"However, I prefer to use this ability to deal with or hunt down beings that are much more powerful than me."

Lin Feng nodded and said in full agreement:
"Dark Domain is more like an assassin's support ability."

"How much area can you release now?"

Chen Shanshan realized it and raised her hand to point at the cargo in the carriage in front of her.

The next second, a black energy gathered from the space and gradually enveloped the freezer.

The freezer inside the tank has a capacity of four cubic meters and four hundred liters. The dark domain can currently cover half of it, which is two cubic meters.

Enough to wrap the whole person up.

After releasing it to the limit, Chen Shanshan quickly retracted it into her body and no longer maintained the output of the supernatural power.

Because the use of the Dark Domain was so exhausting, the stomach that had just been full was now at least 20% smaller.

In just two or three seconds, one-fifth, or two hundred grams, of the level 20 evolved meat was consumed.

Eating one kilogram of dried meat can only sustain the existence of the dark domain for ten seconds.

However, although the battery life is short, it is enough to decide the outcome in a split second between masters.

Chen Shanshan withdrew her hands:
"When I was level 19, I could probably cast a shadow over an area the size of a basketball. Now, I can shield around two or three people. This leap in level and qualitative evolution is truly powerful!"

Lin Feng's mouth twitched. This was not as simple as just being very strong. If she wanted to attack him at this moment, she had to use the artillery in her hand to attack him in an inaccurate way, fight and escape at the same time, and leave the dark domain's limit release range.

Otherwise, even Lin Feng himself would die from Chen Shanshan's sneak attack and assassination.

The effect of the dark domain is a rogue.

Once it completely covers your brain and cuts off all connections with the outside world, you will have no choice but to surrender.

And when Chen Shanshan is promoted to the late second stage, the size of the dark domain released will probably be the same as before, flooding the entire interior space of the chariot, which is more than 50 cubic meters.

This is of absolute significance in actual combat, especially in close combat, and can make Chen Shanshan invincible.

The upper limit of how far she can defeat the enemy is the upper limit of her defense. As long as she can break through the enemy's outer armor defense and cause fatal damage, even a late-stage second-order evolver can fight against it.

It can be said that after Chen Shanshan was promoted to a second-level evolver, the guard safety issue that troubled Lin Feng has been completely resolved.

Compared with this, the extra consumption of evolutionary meat is not worth mentioning at all.

However, what Lin Feng was struggling with at the moment was whether or not to tell Chen Shanshan about Zong Shiyue and his speculation.

After thinking it over, Lin Feng decided not to tell her for now. After Chen Shanshan grew up and had some combat experience, he would tell her everything about her life story and her connection with the Northern Eternal Night Empire.

For now, let’s deal with the issue in Oasis Town first.

When I go to the Holy City in the future, I can rely on the production of ammunition and the business of selling pure life essence to accumulate resources and be promoted to the third-level king. It won’t be too late to take Chen Shanshan to the north.

Otherwise, you will go there empty-handed and be controlled by others in everything.

"Regarding the matter of dark energy, call Ding Yi over later. She knows more than us."

Lin Feng spoke slowly.

This thing belongs to astrophysics, and even he has only learned about it from popular science books and documentaries. Humans at that time could only speculate about its specific properties and functions.

These are all hypotheses that have not been proven.

Chen Shanshan nodded and began to feel the changes after evolving into a second-level strongman.

Lin Feng asked her to rest in the car for a while, while he took off his power armor and upgraded the other three sets of armor in the car.

There are still a large number of alloy wolf bones, fine steel wolf skins and other second-level materials left. Lin Feng originally planned to integrate them into the chariots, but if this happens, all three vehicles will have to be upgraded, and the two heavy-duty trucks cannot be left behind.

There are five vehicles in total that need to be upgraded, which will cost at least 150 health points, equivalent to three kilograms of dried meat, which is a bit too much.

Upgrading key tanks requires a large amount of materials, but the benefits are not high. Except for the heavy-duty transport trucks that need enhanced protection, the other three ordinary tanks are actually consumables.

Moreover, compared with the strengthening of vehicles, the power armor at hand is more worthy of optimization and improvement.

A level 23 wolf skull can break through the defense of a second-stage early-stage Rock Horse Armor, while a level 26 wolf skull can deal with a second-stage mid-stage Rock Horse Armor.

Two for the former and one for the latter.

Can be integrated into two or three sets of armor.

It is just right for myself, Chen Shanshan, and A Lian. As for Ma Chenfeng, just use the ordinary one, and add some other alloy wolf bones.

After arranging the plan, Lin Feng immediately took action to integrate and upgrade the four sets of power armor in front of him.

In the end, a total of eighty health points were spent to complete eight upgrades, all of which were upgraded to level twenty-two.

Lin Feng also branded his own set, especially strengthening his defense and adding many high-level wolf bones.

Lin Feng knew clearly that close combat was not his strong point. It was enough for him to provide firepower output and long-range support. Therefore, the armor he wore had to increase defense, even if it meant sacrificing certain performance.

After all, nothing is more important than saving your life.

While upgrading the power armor, Lin Feng ate the evolutionary meat to replenish his health, while carrying wolf bones and wolf skin materials to the heavy truck in the center of the rear team.

After upgrading the armor defense of the heavy-duty truck transport vehicle, which started at level 20, the mission of launching one thousand grenades on the ammunition production vehicle was successfully completed while Amin and Liu Qian were guarding the line.

There were twenty boxes in total, each containing fifty standard 35mm grenades.

Lin Feng nodded. At this time, the power armor of the four people was also upgraded. It was time to go to Shuguang Village for handover in exchange for a tram fully loaded with power equipment and maintenance personnel with professional skills.

During the moving of goods, Lin Feng did not forget to instruct Liu Qian to continue production and at the same time empower a small batch of grenades so that they could conduct a power comparison experiment.

The latter nodded. After being promoted to the middle stage of the first stage, the supernatural powers in his body also increased to a certain extent, which was enough to complete the energy injection into the small grenade.

After arranging everything, Lin Feng called A Lian and Ma Chenfeng and asked them to lead two combat teams to go together for the handover.

Two first-stage late-stage evolvers are more than enough to keep the situation under control.

As for Chen Shanshan, she is one of Lin Feng’s biggest trump cards at the moment, so of course she has to stay in the convoy to ensure the safety of the camp.

After I leave, if anyone dares to come and test me, they will have a taste of the dark realm attack from the gods!
