Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 191: Deterrence, Empowered Grenades, and Camp Invaders

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he pushed the door open and left without waiting for Li Mingquan to respond.

The latter stared at his back as he boarded the chariot and walked away. The stiff smile on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a very cold look.

The other party made this invitation simply to demonstrate its own strength and to shock everyone present.

Warn them that even if they buy a large number of grenades, they will not pose a threat to the sellers, so they should not act rashly.

But it just so happened that Li Mingquan also wanted to witness the man with the so-called magical firearms ability...

What is so powerful about it!

In fact, even he had only heard about the horror of the gun-wielding mutants from hearsay. Although there were similar evolvers in the Holy City, the second awakening trial of this mutant power was too difficult, so it was rare for a second-level one to be born.

The strongest few late-stage first-order evolvers are as powerful as ordinary early-stage second-order evolvers, which is equivalent to a medium-sized artillery that can hit anywhere it points.

Although it is indeed very powerful, it is far from being terrifying. After all, as a large settlement and a first-class force, the Holy City has no shortage of various artillery.

But when Li Mingquan handed the background information about this newly promoted second-level expert to his grandfather Li Hao, Li Hao, the head of the Li family and a veteran second-level expert who had dominated the Holy City hundreds of years ago, was always calm and composed...

But for the first time he showed a look of surprise.

Li Mingquan was raised by Li Hao, and this was the first time he saw Li Hao lose his composure.

You should know that when he had a conflict with the acting bishop Zhang Hui, he remained calm and intimidating without even getting angry.

What made Li Mingquan even more puzzled and worried was that he also detected a subtle trace of fear in his grandfather's shocked eyes.

Although it is fleeting, it really exists.

Later, Li Hao did not say it explicitly, but just introduced an experience from his early years:
When he was at the peak of his career in the Holy City, he first encountered a late-stage second-level firearms psychic in a ranking duel among the Hunting Guild's Heavenly Rankings.

And that firearms expert, who was also a Templar of the church, single-handedly challenged the top ten people on the Heavenly Ranking.

His strength is comparable to that of the best person under level three!
You have to know that at that time, Li Hao could only barely squeeze into the top 30 of the second-level heavenly list. Although he was strong, he was not considered a third-level king.

Such deeds and descriptions also shocked Li Mingquan greatly. He felt like there was something stuck in his throat and was unable to sit still for the past two days.

That's why he took the initiative to come and ask for a meeting.

"Okay, then let me see what you have to make money without doing anything!"

After speaking in a low voice, Li Mingquan looked back at Chengshan, the village chief of Shuguang Village, snorted coldly, and turned away.

On the other side, Lin Feng, who returned with a full load of supplies from the trade with Shuguang Village, introduced the six new members to the team members.

For this purpose, Lin Feng specially set up a mechanical maintenance team, and the team leader was naturally a first-class master, Cheng Wentian.

The other five third-level apprentices were his students themselves, all of them ninth-level enhanced humans, and they adapted quickly.

It’s a pity that while Lin Feng was negotiating with Li Mingquan, he didn’t see any first-level master craftsmen or second-level skilled workers coming forward to join him.

It was probably Li Mingquan's appearance that frightened them and forced them to consider their own personal safety.

Although Lin Feng promised to fulfill his promise and allow all the people who defected to directly upgrade to the third level of evolution, there were no corresponding protection measures.

In other words, technical workers with no combat experience will be in danger of their lives once they leave Shuguang Village.

However, Lin Feng believes that after the weapons test is completed tomorrow afternoon, when everyone witnesses the power of the firearms psychic with their own eyes, there will surely be a lot of people who will voluntarily redeem themselves and come to join him.

By then, the size of the fleet will be further expanded.

Through previous compensation and arms deals, Lin Feng has obtained a total of 260 photovoltaic panels and 28 motors in addition to five ordinary transport vehicles.

There are also four hundred sets of batteries.

In addition to repairing the tanks and heavy-duty transport trucks, the remaining materials are sufficient to modify and reorganize the four dilapidated vehicles brought by Ma Chenfeng and optimize them into ordinary transport vehicles.

The remaining materials were kept as backup. After all, the team would be going on a long journey, with a total of 19 vehicles of various sizes, and many parts would definitely need to be replaced.

After assigning the tasks to the mechanical maintenance team, the number of team members increased from fifty-two to fifty-eight.

A lot of consumption in a day.

Fortunately, tomorrow morning, I will be able to trade with Li Mingquan in exchange for the urgently needed enhanced meat and evolved meat, as well as the life essence that can be used to soothe people's hearts.

After completing the arrangements, Lin Feng first came to the ammunition production workshop.

In fact, it is the carriage of a heavy-duty truck.

After moving here, production efficiency has been significantly improved, mainly due to the sufficient energy supply and the large overall space.

Although it takes two people to complete the production, Amin and Liu Qian can fully take care of the production of grenades and control the vehicle's progress at the same time.

After Lin Feng arrived, he found that the two of them had been promoted to first-stage mid-stage evolvers, becoming the strongest people in the team except for the five captains including Lin Feng.

Seeing the leader arrive, the two of them immediately went to the workshop.

Currently, ammunition production machines are highly automated, requiring only two people to deliver raw materials, and another person to check whether the grenades are qualified and pack them at the conveyor belt exit.

In fact, ordinary people can do these jobs.

Letting a first-stage mid-stage evolver do this is a complete waste of talent.

However, ammunition production is the most important thing for a newly established fleet and the foundation of its survival.

Although cannonballs have always been banned from sale, they are not considered taboo by the Holy Spring Church like pure life essence, because the raw materials are in the hands of the church.

Even if they are found to be producing in large quantities, as long as they are not too outrageous and are willing to pledge allegiance to the church, then it is a business in the gray area.

Therefore, Lin Feng could only arrange someone he trusted to be responsible for the operation of the machinery and equipment to ensure that the source of funds was not in trouble.

"Tomorrow we're going to trade with Farm Village and Motorcycle Village. They want one thousand each."

"The transaction time is set for tomorrow morning. It's a bit tight. Please work harder and take over the night shift."

Lin Feng saw twelve packed boxes of ammunition, each box containing fifty bullets, which means there are six hundred bullets in total. At the current rate of 200 bullets per hour, it will take three hours to produce.

Now, it would take a total of ten hours to produce two thousand of them. It was already past ten o'clock in the morning, so we really had to work overtime to catch up.

Liu Qian was an accountant by profession, and she quickly put together a production plan that indicated the rate of raw material consumption and the production efficiency of finished products.

Lin Feng took a quick look and nodded:
"Thank you for your hard work, this will be considered as overtime, and you will receive double the evolution meat!"

Although there is not much mid-stage evolutionary meat left, it is more than enough for Amin and the other two to eat.

Hearing that they could eat the same level of evolved meat again, the two women's faces showed excitement and joy.

Quickly speed up your actions.

At this time, Liu Qian was holding a half-empty special box, called Lin Feng who was about to leave, opened it and handed it to him.

There were a total of twenty grenades inside, which were not much different in appearance from the ordinary grenades that fell from the equipment outlet. They were all standard 35mm grenades.

But when Lin Feng focused his attention on them, he soon felt that the surface temperature of these grenades was actually higher than that of other freshly produced ones, as high as forty or fifty degrees.

"Are these powered grenades?"

Lin Feng took out one of them and examined it in his hand.

The interior of the heavy-duty truck is air-conditioned. Even when the equipment is running at full power, the temperature can drop to less than 30 degrees, which is quite comfortable.

In this environment, it can still maintain a temperature of 40 to 50 degrees, which means that the internal temperature must be higher. The energy and striking power it contains are naturally superior to other ordinary grenades.

Liu Qian nodded and began to introduce:

"Originally, my abilities weren't enough to power such a large shell. It wasn't until I was promoted to the middle stage of the first level that I tried it."

"The current strength of my superpowers has increased significantly. I can now energize over fifty standard grenades at once. However, I will be weakened for a while afterward and need to eat Evolution Meat to recover quickly."

Lin Feng nodded, and at this moment, information about the empowered grenade appeared in front of him:
"After additional power-up, I successfully upgraded from a normal grenade to a high-explosive grenade!"

"Empowered High Explosive Grenade lv16, red quality"

Damage 120 (original damage 90 points, increased by 30 points after empowerment, kill range 8 meters, can cause additional damage to distorted contaminated objects)

It seems pretty good. The empowered grenade can already be called a small artillery shell, comparable to a small-caliber howitzer.

It can kill a fully armed first-stage mid-stage evolver, or severely damage a late-stage evolver. It would be perfect to use it to arm the convoy and equip it to the combat team.

"Okay, make two hundred first. When you receive four kilograms of level fourteen evolutionary meat, you can distribute the four hundred empowered grenades."

Lin Feng opened his mouth and gave orders.

Liu Qian nodded. Now, as long as she was bound to the ammunition production machine in front of her, she would not be gradually marginalized in the team.

This is more important than anything else.

"Roger that!"

After leaving the ammunition production vehicle, Lin Feng came to another heavy truck transport vehicle nearby.

The vehicle was driven by Liu Mingfei, and the back was loaded with necessities for the convoy, including water, food, and spare storage room for weapons and ammunition.

A total of one hundred tons of fresh water was stored, which was donated by the church and the guild. It was installed in the front half of the carriage, where a two-hundred-ton water tank was designed.

It occupies ten meters in length.

With a storage capacity of 100 tons, if each person in the fleet consumes 5 kilograms per day, it can be used for 400 days, which is more than a year.

Greatly improve the team's ability to survive in the wild.

In addition, there are 500 kilograms of enhanced meat, some medicines, weapons and ammunition.

These are the core of the entire team. As long as we keep a firm grip on them, the team will not fall apart.

After taking a quick look, Lin Feng returned to the wolf armor chariot in front, intending to have a good rest.

The previous transaction process was not very complicated, but the final conversation with Li Mingquan made Lin Feng nervous throughout.

The other party was the first strong man of the same level that Lin Feng had encountered, and he was obviously hostile.

The battles between second-level evolvers often decide the outcome in an instant.

The most important thing is who can seize the initiative.

In particular, the small enclosed space inside the car is not suitable for Lin Feng to take advantage of his artillery firepower. Even if he is wearing power armor, he is not sure that he can suppress Li Mingquan.

So during this conversation, both parties were nervous. Although they appeared calm and harmless on the surface, their core muscles were actually tense, fearing that the other party would suddenly attack them.

Fortunately, the final outcome was acceptable. Both parties reached an agreement, which at least reduced the damage to the permanent residents of Oasis Town and maintained the existing order as much as possible.

However, just as Lin Feng took off his armor, Chen Shanshan, who was in the driving area, walked over from the main driver's seat with a serious expression.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing something:
"What happened? Just now, when we were heading to Dawn Village for the handover, someone sneaked into the camp?"

Chen Shanshan nodded, her face heavy:
"The one who came is from the Motorcycle Village. He has the strength of a mid-level first-level warrior. He sneaked into the convoy from the right and wanted to destroy our two heavy-duty trucks..."

Lin Feng frowned slightly:

"Where are the people now?"

Chen Shanshan pointed to the ordinary transport truck behind.

Inside was a pile of heavy black boxes, carrying a large amount of deformed flesh and blood.

"The incident happened suddenly, so I used my Dark Domain ability to get him out."

Chen Shanshan paused and continued:

"Then we found Ding Yi and asked her how to deal with it."

"She said it would be best not to kill him yet, but to detain him and not let anyone else in the convoy see him, to avoid causing panic."

"I thought about it and it made sense, but it definitely couldn't be placed inside the tank. There are many confidential things here, so I threw it in the back."

"Those black boxes can shield against genetic radiation, so they shouldn't have much of an impact on him. I specifically knocked him out and tied up his limbs."

Lin Feng nodded. With Zong Shiyue in the carriage of the transport vehicle, there wouldn't be any major problems.

Even if the other party is a stubborn warrior who refuses to say anything even if beaten to death, we can still use Zong Shiyue's mental pollution to invade his thinking consciousness and read memory fragments.

"Let's go and have a look."

The two then came into the transport vehicle towed from behind. Since they were both second-level evolvers, they did not have to worry about being contaminated by radiation on the surface.

The energy of these pollution sources is mostly suppressed by the curse of the scorching sun, and cannot spread wantonly and distort everything like in the ruins.

When the two entered the car, they saw the intruder lying on the ground.

At this moment, I was shaking all over and even had urinary incontinence.

Lin Feng frowned slightly. The windows inside the car were covered with paper and curtains, and the light was dim.

He slowly walked forward, pinned down the man struggling like a maggot on the ground, removed the bandage from his face, and asked:
"Who sent you? The leader of the motorcycle village..."

"Or Li Mingquan?"

When the man heard the name Li Mingquan, he was stunned for a moment, then his crazy expression returned and he started to babble nonsense.

Lin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth and knocked on the black box at the rear of the car.

Zong Shiyue came out reluctantly.

In order to reduce consumption, this time no illusory spirit projection was condensed, but a voice directly sounded in Lin Feng's mind:

"It doesn't seem like he's pretending, but it has nothing to do with me."

"The girl threw him to the front of the carriage, about seven or eight meters away from me. It wouldn't have had much impact at all."

Zong Shiyue's voice suddenly stopped as he spoke, as if he had realized something. After pausing for two or three seconds, he continued with a slightly faster tone:
"Look at his hands, feet, and teeth!"

Lin Feng suddenly turned around and looked at the black box placed at the innermost part.

Then she opened the man's mouth and found that his canine teeth had become longer and had a silver-white color!

The nails on the ten fingers of the bound hands became thick, long and sharp!
The distortion phenomenon of radiation distortion!
At this moment, Zong Shiyue's words came faintly:
"That guy actually followed us."

"Ha! You want to study the cultivation of xenogeneic cells? We have them right here!"
