Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 214: The Concept of a Complete Military System and the Li Family’s Countermeasures

In fact, when Lin Feng first met Duncan's team, he had the intention to recruit them. After all, the other party's conditions were too superior.

Mainly in terms of personnel combat quality.

Captain Old Duncan was once a federal soldier, and a special forces elite at that. He had participated in many wars long before the catastrophe of the old Earth.

The teammates gathered around him are basically people with similar experiences and have extremely rich combat experience.

Even though he is not adapted to fighting between evolvers, he is definitely a master in terms of weapons, especially the use of thermal weapons.

This makes him more suitable to join Lin Feng's team.

After all, no other force can provide unlimited long-range, high-powered thermal weapons.

There is no shortage of weapons here. What is lacking are high-quality personnel who are proficient in using these weapons and can exert real combat effectiveness.

The combat team organized by A Lian and Ma Chenfeng, apart from being equipped with AK weapons, is only slightly better than ordinary scavengers in terms of individual capabilities. They may be good at fighting alone, but in team battles that require coordination, they are almost inexperienced novices.

However, thermal weapons can only exert their crushing advantage in an organized team, and can even curb thousands or tens of thousands of evolved catastrophic beasts.

But for such a team to be called an army, it requires more than just manpower; it also requires that the team members be trained to become soldiers.

Be able to be on standby at all times and enforce discipline.

As well as many combat skills and coordination training.

And that's exactly the quality Duncan's squad possesses.

They were once part of the killing machine and are more suitable for managing daily training than those who changed their careers lately like A Lian and Ma Chenfeng.

After the expansion of this team, many of its members are second-generation, third-generation, or even several-generation descendants of the wasteland. Although they have simple backgrounds, they are also short-sighted and have not received modern education.

Some people can't even recognize all the characters.

In the future, it will be difficult to control complex weapons, precision equipment, such as computers, etc.

Therefore, it is urgent to start from scratch and cultivate it.

Lin Feng took advantage of the fact that the Salvation Army had something to ask for help and put forward his own conditions.

After proposing this, he also said earnestly:
"Regardless of the final outcome of the arena competition, Oasis Town will be taken over by the Holy City and directly governed by the Holy City Bishopric. At that time, the so-called five major villages and the tens of thousands of desert dwellers who followed them will cease to exist."

"Oasis will no longer use the parliamentary system to relax its treatment of the survivors at the bottom. Instead, it will use feudal oppression and even promote slavery to improve its rule."

"You can either accept slavery here, resist and be killed, or flee and become a wanted wanderer."

As he spoke, Lin Feng looked at Lisa beside him:
"If this happens, the Salvation Army will lose an informant who can operate openly, and its connection with official forces will be greatly weakened."

"Recalling your ordinary team of wasteland hunters won't make much sense for the Salvation Army. For example, if you leave it with me, we can contact each other in time if we need anything."

"After you stay, you only need to help me train the team members and improve their combat skills. You don't have to participate in any combat operations outside."

"Of course, if you think the treatment here is good enough, you are always welcome to join me permanently."

"I won't go into other details, but I will strictly enforce one principle: meritorious service will be rewarded, and faults will be punished."

"When your training is effective, I promise to give each of you an evolution potion to advance one level."

"At the same time, you stay with me so that we can keep in touch with the Saviors outside of Oasis Town."

Lisa and Duncan looked at each other, and the former took the initiative to agree without waiting for the latter to speak:

"Okay, thank you Chief Lin for your appreciation!"

"I was worried about not being able to settle Uncle Duncan and his group. Now they can find a place and a place to stay in your team. I am very grateful!"

After saying that, he signaled to the latter with his eyes.

Lisa's action was for the public good, but she also had selfish motives.

Firstly, Lin Feng did not want to submit to Bai Ye and work under the Savior Army for the time being, so he arranged for Duncan's team to join Lin Feng's team to maintain contact between the two sides.

Secondly, it is a good home for Duncan's team to be under Lin Feng's command. They can take advantage of their weapon proficiency and no longer have to fight in a relentless manner.

As for her selfish motive, Lisa didn't want to cut off contact with Lin Feng.

The Duncan team trained Lisa, especially old Duncan, who regarded Lisa as his daughter and successor, and asked him to stay with Lin Feng. In the future, Lisa could also serve as a middleman between the Savior Army and Lin Feng and have long-term exchanges.

Old Duncan, standing by, also understood what Lisa meant. He smiled, nodded, and echoed her thanks.

Seeing that the matter was discussed, the two prepared to leave and informed the Saviors of the changes that had taken place in the Oasis and the new cooperation between the two parties.

Before leaving, Lin Feng suddenly thought of something and whispered a reminder:
"Notify Bai Ye and tell the Salvation Army to be careful. There should be some surveillance near Oasis Avenue, where Oasis Town passes."

"The situation in the Holy City is very complicated. Bai Ye should have heard some rumors. There are people behind this rebellion, and they are waiting to reap the benefits."

"Have the Salvation Army send some men to the nearby wasteland to serve as scouts or sentinels."

"Don't rush into action if something happens. Don't rush into a conflict. Just notify me."

Lisa nodded, not quite understanding.

Old Duncan seemed to have thought of something and agreed seriously.

At this moment, A-Lian's voice suddenly came from outside the house:
"Leader, Xu Wanshuang, the Vice President of the Wilderness Hunter Guild, requested a meeting. He said he brought an apology for the unexpected incident during the sparring match."

Lin Feng nodded.

Lisa and Duncan then took their leave and left from the other side of the wolf armor chariot.

Seeing this, Xu Wanshuang, who was sitting behind the car, narrowed her eyes slightly.

When Lisa turned around, her eyes, revealed through her veil, met Xu Wanshuang's eyes.

Relying on women's intuition, both sides sensed the same purpose in each other and became secretly alert.

Xu Wanshuang stared at the backs of the two men until they disappeared into the wasteland on the right.

As the vice president, Xu Wanshuang only had a vague impression of this woman with big blue eyes.

But Xu Wanshuang left a deep impression on the middle-aged man next to her.

Because it was he who was responsible for secretly contacting the Oasis Guild for the Salvation Army and completing a transaction for a batch of pure source materials.

Now that he appears here with Lin Feng, it is enough to prove that the relationship between Lin Feng and the Salvation Army is probably deeper than he expected.

The two sides have ongoing cooperation.

But think about it, Lin Feng is a firearms ability user with powerful firepower. He can hurt the level 26 rock horse warrior Li Hao in the early second stage. When he is promoted to the middle second stage, he will be able to rival the late second stage strongman.

Coupled with its own strong firepower, it can just make up for the Savior Army's offensive shortcomings.

However, if Lin Feng gets too close to the Salvation Army, it will not be a good thing for the Hunting Guild, especially Xu Wanshuang.

Even if he could obtain pure essence from the Savior Army, if he kept close contact with them, the Hunter King's plan to become the guardian would be delayed. The Savior Army was, after all, a wandering group.

Not to mention that he had insisted on researching pure source essence and promoting pure evolution, and that after receiving divine punishment, his third-level leader was killed...

Even the remnants of the Salvation Army, which later fell apart, had repeatedly attacked and plundered official forces, killing countless people and committing numerous atrocities.

Having too much contact with such a force will not only affect his reputation, but if it is exposed and made public, it will also be deliberately used by people with ulterior motives to attack Lin Feng.

Therefore, the Hunting Guild can only trade privately, and through the Duncan team as the middleman. Even if the transaction is exposed, the responsibility can be shifted to Duncan and his team.

They said they got it from the ruins.

The guild was unaware of the Salvation Army behind it.

Thinking of this, Xu Wanshuang immediately got into Lin Feng's vehicle, a modified wolf armor chariot.

After seeing Lin Feng in the carriage, she first offered him ten kilograms of level 20 evolutionary meat, a total of ten pieces.

Each piece is one kilogram, and the standard selling price is one thousand points.

Ten yuan is equivalent to ten thousand points. Given the current tense situation in Oasis Town, there will be people who buy it even if it costs thirty or forty thousand points.

Lin Feng had previously bought 300 kilograms from the guild, but now after two evolutions and multiple upgrades, as well as the consumption of Chen Shanshan's evolution, only 250 kilograms are left.

And ten kilograms of level 20 evolved meat is enough to make up for Lin Feng’s previous consumption in the battle.

Lin Feng ate three pieces of evolved dried meat in one breath to repair the fracture in his left arm. He has now recovered some of his perception and will be able to heal himself in another three or four days.

At this time, his health points had recovered to over 250, and he was no longer in a weak state. He just had one hand wrapped in a white bandage and looked a little tired.

After Xu Wanshuang put the dried meat aside, she continued:
"The Li family has completely lost face this time. Although the results of the competition have not yet been circulated, the top leaders of each family basically know the whole process and Li Hao's ultimate surrender."

"As long as we can dampen the spirits of the Li family and their ilk before the official competition, we'll be able to seize the initiative."

Lin Feng nodded and added:

"Be careful, they're desperate. Let your sister be prepared."

"By the way, since the guild wants Xu Wanfeng to be the referee of the arena competition, then the person who will accompany me to the Oasis battleship to keep the Oasis key..."

Xu Wanshuang smiled faintly, glanced at Chen Shanshan who was picking up the evolved meat jerky, and said with a hint of joy:
"Yes, it's me."

"Besides apologizing, I'm here to invite you to come to the oasis. The key handover ceremony will probably take place tonight."

"All second-level members will be present to witness the handover. After the handover is complete, we must follow the rules and must not leave the oasis without permission. We must also remain within each other's sight."

"The results of the competition will be announced four days later."

"Of course, the results may come out earlier."

"After all, we'll have the late-stage first-stage battles first. As long as we can win four of them and get 40 points, then over the next three days, there will be three second-stage evolutionary competitions. Winning any one of them will declare the competition over."

Hearing this, Lin Feng frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and then asked:
"What are the rules for the competition? Can the same Late First Stage or Second Stage Evolver participate multiple times? Or must the full quota be registered, and then a draw will be held?"

After Lin Feng asked this, Xu Wanshuang's expression changed slightly, and she seemed to realize something, and slowly replied:

"There were no restrictions on the contestants, as only the Li family and two other families wanted to challenge the church's control, so the candidates were decided the night before."

"As long as the two competing parties are within a single evolutionary stage of each other, they can directly participate. It will be a blind audition. After reporting to my sister, neither party will know who the other party has signed up for the competition."

"As for participating in multiple competitions, that's also possible. As long as Li Hao, the head of the Li family, has enough energy to fight three life-and-death battles in a row, then that's also possible."

"But fighting for three days straight like this is a serious strain on his physical condition. Especially since he's no longer the youthful vigor of a hundred years old. He doesn't have the energy to sustain this."

"We had previously predicted that he would participate in two games at most. Now that his proud Rock Horse Armor has been damaged, I'm afraid he won't be able to easily win the second game."

"If you're seriously overdrawn or suffer a severe blow, the outcome is already determined."

"Unless he can win the competition safely, even if he becomes the winner, he will not be eligible to obtain the Oasis Key and inherit the Oasis Battleship."

"This is also why I said the Li family has already lost 30%. Li Hao's personal factors have a huge impact on the outcome of the game."

Lin Feng thought about it and realized that the only way for the Li family to turn the tables now is to win three consecutive second-level competitions and win at least one of the four first-level battles tomorrow.

This will give Li Hao a chance to catch his breath.

Otherwise, if he had to fight three battles in a row, the bishop probably wouldn't even have to go on the field himself. Father Su An alone would be able to defeat the exhausted rock horse warrior Li Hao.

Originally, they had to win three second-level competitions. As long as they could win one of the first-level battles tomorrow, the Li family's tolerance rate would be greatly increased.

Just win two second-level competitions.

In this way, although both sides accumulated 50 points, the result of the Li family in the second-level battle was two to one, and they were able to win the game.

By then, the rebels, who have preserved a certain strength and status, will inevitably board the Oasis battleship and force Lin Feng to hand over the Oasis key in order to gain control.

This is the situation that Lin Feng least wants to see.

Be sure to remind Father Suan to be careful of the four late-stage first-level battles tomorrow.

Although the Oasis Church has four level 19 high priests, whose strength is invincible among the same level, the Li family is likely to do everything possible to win the competition.

The second-level evolvers cannot be sacrificed, but the late-stage first-level evolvers are so numerous that there are at least fifty of them in the three villages of the farm, if not a hundred.

Among them, there are at least a dozen people who are at level nineteen, the upper limit of the first stage.

It is not impossible to let them contribute themselves and burn everything.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately took a batch of evolved meat, asked Xu Wanshuang to wait for a while, went to give some instructions, and then went to the oasis with her.

Lin Feng came outside the chariot and called the main members of the team to explain the matters.

The others can just continue to do their respective duties, and the next important task lies with the combat team.

They need to guard the safety of the convoy.

In the worst case scenario, the Li family is likely to attack Lin Feng's team and threaten Lin Feng to hand over the secret key.

At this time, Duncan's team has also arrived.

They drove the modified vehicle and joined the convoy.

A Lian and Ma Chenfeng already understood Lin Feng's orders, and organized them into the fifth special operations team, independent of the original four teams. Duncan was the captain, who was on the same level as the two and only took orders from the leader Lin Feng.

Duncan arranged people to escort Lisa dozens of kilometers away. After handing over to the Saviors, he returned to the oasis and joined Lin Feng.

Lin Feng led them to the war preparedness warehouse vehicle.

Before leaving, we are preparing to give the team's weapons a small upgrade.

Upgrade ordinary AK to level 9 fine AK.
