Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 58: Divine Dog, Map, Wanderer (5k)
After upgrading all 20 square meters of photovoltaic panels to level eight, Lin Feng still had two kilograms of horse meat left, which could be converted into four upgrade or repair opportunities.

Sitting on the powerful tram, he decided to use the remaining four health points to repair the durability of the light passenger car itself.

After all, these four health points, which upgrade the four level eight photovoltaic panels to level nine, have a negligible impact on the overall performance of the tram.

It would be better to repair the wear and tear and durability of the light passenger vehicle itself.

Especially the welding points between the shell and the chassis. Although there are some minor flaws, over long journeys, these small flaws will gradually deteriorate into fatal problems.

Moreover, Lin Feng expects that after he completes the repairs, there will be new changes in the light passenger bus, especially in terms of power. The comprehensive improvement of photovoltaic panels will solve the shortcomings of the electric vehicle's power properties.

As Lin Feng ate the last bit of level nine horse meat, the durability of the entire tram was being repaired.

"Woo woo~woo woo~"

At this moment, a palm-sized head popped out from under the second row of seats where Lin Feng was sitting, jumped up and lay on the side of his thigh.

The wolf cub woke up and smelled the aroma of dried horse meat in Lin Feng's hand, and cried for food.

Lin Feng picked up the remaining pound of horse meat in his hand, placed it in front of it, and began to train:

"sit!"

"sit down!"

The confused wolf cub looked puzzled and did not understand Lin Feng's instructions.

But its desire for food and hunger made it spin around anxiously between Lin Feng's legs.

It kept making low humming sounds, jumping up with its front legs and stretching its neck, trying to reach the dried meat hanging above its head.

Lin Feng frowned slightly and continued seriously:

"sit!"

The stern tone and fierce eyes frightened the wolf cub on the spot, and it lay on the ground whimpering.

Lin Feng knocked on its head, lifted it up and sat it down, then tore off a small piece of rock wildebeest meat and fed it to it.

After repeating this three times, the clever wolf cub quickly realized that as long as he sat down, he would have meat to eat.

Gradually learned the command "sit".

Then Lin Feng taught it how to shake hands.

I used the same training methods I used when I was a child to train dogs on the wolf cub in front of me, and cultivated its obedience from an early age.

Of course, the wolf cubs were so cooperative because Lin Feng's body was stained with the blood of the wasteland wolves, so the wolf cubs only listened to Lin Feng's orders in the team.

It was just a little afraid of the more powerful evolver Chen Shanshan, but it did not obey because this cunning guy could see that the other party would not hurt it.

But Lin Feng is different. If you throw a tantrum in front of him, he will really hit you on the head.

The wolf cub was beaten so hard that it cried and cried, and it was no use begging for mercy.

But the more this happened, the more the wolf cub listened to Lin Feng.

In its eyes, Lin Feng is the leader of the team.

After eating a small piece of ninth-grade horse meat, the wolf cub learned to sit down and shake hands. After drinking some water, he returned to his seat with his bulging belly shaking and continued to sleep soundly.

Several women on the side watched Lin Feng train the dog the whole time.

Ding Yi said with great interest:

"How about giving it a name? It's a member of our team now."

Chen Shanshan excitedly made a suggestion:
"Wangcai? Xiaohui? Or Dahuang?"

The other women then joined in and started a heated discussion.

Like Xiaolin, Xiaofeng, Sijia, Liuliu...

Brainstorm and come up with all kinds of ideas.

Seeing the five women talking at once, Lin Feng felt a bit overwhelmed and finally made the decision:
"Since we are going to train it as a dog, let's call it a divine dog. I hope it can become a god-like dog in the future."

"Okay, it's settled!"

The women looked at each other and pondered in secret.

"Divine Dog...Divine Dog...What a name!"

Chen Shanshan squatted down, stretched out her hand to tease the curled up wolf cub, and called softly:
"Divine dog, divine dog..."

"It seems to have grown a lot in the past few days. When it first arrived, it was only the size of a football, but now it's as big as a washbasin, just like Alaska used to be."

"Growing so fast, it changes every day..."

Liu Qian looked at the sleeping divine dog and began to explain:

"The Steppenwolf's growth cycle is very fast. It only takes three months for it to grow into a mid-adult Steppenwolf, and ten months for it to fully mature and enter the strengthening stage of late adulthood."

After introducing the relevant content in the Wasteland Hunter's Notes, Liu Qian asked curiously:
"Will the divine dog evolve into a first-level wild beast?"

"After all, its parents are both late-stage wasteland wolves. Especially its father, as the leader of the wolf pack, he is almost about to transform into the first level. As its bloodline, the divine dog should have this potential."

Lin Feng nodded. These were not the key points of the problem.

"If it can be fully domesticated and become our partner, a first-level steppe wolf can be very useful. For example, when hunting a herd of rock wildebeest, it can be responsible for tracking their whereabouts or cooperate with us to split the herd."

"Hunters used to be accompanied by various hunting dogs to assist in the hunt."

Steppenwolf is a natural hunter in the wasteland.

Knows how to hunt wild wildebeest better than humans.

In particular, its super senses, sharp hearing and developed sense of smell, coupled with the soft pads that can sense low-frequency vibrations of the earth, can lock onto the traces of prey dozens of kilometers away.

It can be called a life detection radar.

This is also one of the important reasons why Lin Feng is willing to adopt this money-eating beast.

As long as the domestication is successful, you will have a loyal partner. Even if it requires initial efforts and the expensive investment of several hundred kilograms of horse meat, it is still worth it.

After more than an hour, the tram passed through the Fifth Village, passed by Shuguang Village, and arrived at the gate entrance of Shengquan Village on the right side of the Oasis battleship.

The guards in gray and white uniforms raised their guns and stood guard, signaling everyone to stop moving forward.

Liu Mingfei stepped on the brakes and slowed down to a snail's pace of one kilometer per hour.

Lin Feng walked to the aisle on the side of the tram and took out Father Su An's religious emblem.

Seeing the familiar face, the captain of the guard lowered his gun and shouted:
"Is it you, here to see the Reverend Father?"

"But sorry, large foreign vehicles with powered systems are prohibited from passing! If you need anything, you can enter alone, or ride on the three-wheeled vehicle behind it!"

"No outside trams are allowed into Shengquan Village!"

Lin Feng nodded. After all, it was a solemn church with so many children inside, so it was okay to have strict rules.

After thinking about it, he realized that there was nothing there anyway, so he let Liu Mingfei drive at a constant speed.

Then Lin Feng jumped out of the car and walked into the village.

Chen Shanshan followed closely behind, carrying the cloth bag that Old Huang had asked her to bring back before leaving, which contained clothes and snacks for his son.

The two of them entered, one in front and one behind.

It happened to be Shengquan Village at that time, during the afternoon free time, the two found Huang Xinming playing with Su Yueyue on the amusement facilities.

Seeing Lin Feng and the others, Su Yueyue, who seemed a little bored, smiled, jumped down from the climbing frame, and trotted to Lin Feng:
"Uncle Lin, have you found the toad?"

Lin Feng's mouth twitched. He took the cloth bag from Chen Shanshan, took out the toad wooden fish inside, put it in his hand, and demonstrated how to scrape it to make a croaking sound:
"This was given to Huang Xinming by his father, Huang Haiwen. It's a wooden toad that makes a toad sound."

Huang Xinming walked forward, his face full of excitement and joy.

After receiving the toad wooden fish toy, he proudly said to the three friends behind him:
"Look, I wasn't lying! QuackQuack really exists!"

"This is what my dad carved out based on the quack! It even makes quack sounds."

After handing the cloth bag to him, the little guy opened it and his eyes lit up, obviously seeing the sugar pills inside.

He reached out and took out four of them, giving one to himself and one to his friend.

Then he put the cloth bag on himself, picked up the toad wooden fish and started beating it, muttering:

"Quack, quack, quack, I am a little quack..."

The novel toys immediately attracted a group of primary school children of the same age nearby.

Lin Feng noticed that Su Yueyue did not join the group of children, but was standing beside him, so he asked:
"Where's Father Suan? I have something to ask him."

Su Yueyue turned her head and sniffed Lin Feng's hand, then grabbed a few fingers with her small hand:
"Let's go, I'll take you there!"

Led by Su Yueyue, Lin Feng and the others quickly arrived outside a hidden white car, located on the far right side of Shengquan Village.

The air conditioner outside the car was humming.

After Lin Feng called out a few times, Father Su An walked out, wearing a white sealed isolation suit, with cold white mist escaping from the crack in the door.

This is a special low-temperature laboratory. After taking off his clothes and gas mask, Father Su An nodded to Lin Feng and the others, then said to Su Yueyue:

"Go play, I have some things to do with your uncle."

Su Yueyue's half body was pressed against Lin Feng's back. She nodded, kissed the back of Lin Feng's hand when she left, then turned around and ran away.

Lin Feng glanced at her back and turned around.

Father Suan looked a little tired, his eyebrows were dark and yellow, and he had dark circles under his eyes. He held the railing with his hands:

"Are you ready to leave?"

Lin Feng nodded:
"I'm planning to go hunting a herd of rock wildebeests and advance to a first-level evolver as soon as possible. The nearby herds are quite far away, so I wanted to ask you for a map to avoid getting lost in this wilderness."

Su An hummed and forced a smile:
"Come with me……"

The two followed and entered the priest's office.

Su An took out a two-meter-long blueprint from the drawer, spread it on the table, and showed it to the two of them:

"This is a map of the surrounding 2,000 kilometers. The red line on it is the main road for Oasis Town to advance."

"We are currently here, in the lower left corner, on the seabed of the original ocean outside the Luzhou area."

"Below the Luzhou Peninsula, there are several harbors and bays on the coast, as well as the mouths of large rivers. Therefore, there are intricate underground tunnels beneath the cliffs in this area. The deepest part of them has a hidden underground water source."

"This is also one of the gathering places for wild beasts within a radius of hundreds of kilometers."

"Every time the wasteland passes through this place, a large number of wild beasts will stop by, relying on the underground water source to reproduce and thrive."

"So recently, it's also the breeding season for all kinds of wild beasts. New life is born, and there's also communication, competition, and integration between different tribes..."

“For us, it’s the best hunting season.”

"The gathering place is located in Oasis Town, one hundred kilometers northwest. Set off now. After you finish hunting, head directly southwest. You should reunite in less than three days."

A hint of joy appeared on Lin Feng's face, but his eyes were soon attracted by another marked point in the upper left corner of the map.

That is a red relic mark.

It is located in Fudi, Luzhou, in the north of Oasis Avenue, more than 300 kilometers away from the current Oasis Town.

Noticing Lin Feng's gaze, Father Su An said again:
"This is Mount Tai of Old Earth. The Mount Tai Refuge was built here, and later it became an underground ruin. This is also the destination your team will need to go to to complete the mission after the next Holy Spring Day."

"Okay, take this copy. Remember to keep it safe. You'll need it during the next few Holy Spring Days."

Lin Feng nodded, carefully rolled up the map, tied it tightly with a thin rope, and held it in his hand.

When leaving, Father Su An called Lin Feng and took out a telescopic telescope:

"The observation station at the oasis recently saw some unknown convoys passing nearby. They were those disorderly refugees."

"The wanderer's target is likely to be a herd of wild beasts. Remember to be careful on the road."

Lin Feng took the high-powered telescope with some confusion. He wanted to ask for clarification, but when he saw Father Su An, he had already stood up and walked into the back bedroom. He was too tired to stay any longer...

He put away the telescope, frowned slightly and looked at Chen Shanshan behind him.

The latter swallowed and nodded, indicating that he understood.

As she led Lin Feng out of the office and onto the road leading away from Shengquan Village, Chen Shanshan explained:

"The unidentified convoys are located outside of Oasis Town, in small gathering places similar to the five major villages, but on a much smaller scale, usually with only a dozen or so vehicles and a hundred or so people."

"Among them are Evolvers and hunting teams who broke the agreement and escaped. There are also people who committed crimes in the village. There are also some who can't survive and don't want to be enslaved, so they decided to escape the constraints and rule of Oasis Town."

"This group of people gathered in the wilderness, with no fixed place to live and no fixed route to move forward, so they were called wanderers."

"Before, I killed the people in the farm village, and I planned to wander the wilderness alone and find a small caravan to stay."

Then Chen Shanshan changed the subject:
"Because there is no order among the wanderers, and the wasteland is a harsh environment, they follow the law of the jungle."

"The weak will eat the strong, and the fittest will survive."

"Some have even gradually evolved into groups of nomads who specialize in feeding on humans, wandering the wasteland..."

"They eat raw meat and drink blood, becoming beasts..."

As she spoke, Chen Shanshan couldn't help but shiver under the scorching sun:
"Back when I was following my master, I was fortunate enough to ride on a pilgrim caravan to the great city. On the way, I saw tens of thousands of refugees, like the walking dead..."

"They wantonly attack other wanderers and small gathering places nearby. Due to cannibalism, their group has evolved into various highly mutated forms, making them extremely creepy."

After listening to Chen Shanshan's introduction, Lin Feng frowned:

"So, it becomes dangerous if you leave the oasis more than ten kilometers away?"

"Then this time, I'm afraid..."

Chen Shanshan shook her head:

"No, there aren't many large refugee groups, and they're very far away from large settlements like Oasis Town. Their leaders aren't stupid either, so they'll stay away..."

"You have to know that a mobile fortress like Oasis is not just a settlement or a divine kingdom on earth, it is itself a powerful warship."

"The massive cannons hidden on both sides of the ship can destroy any enemy from dozens of kilometers away."

"Father Suan asked us to pay attention to the unknown convoy. These wanderers in small gathering places are more adapted to the rules of survival in the wasteland than we are."

"They are ruthless and do all kinds of evil..."

"They are even more covetous of the supplies and equipment we possess. If they are sure of defeating us, both the train and us will become their hunting targets."

"But don't worry too much. I've become an Evolver. With my armor on and your long-range firepower, I can kill as many wanderers as I want."

With Chen Shanshan's explanation, Lin Feng roughly understood that these small forces outside the official system were just like the bandits and pirates of the old times, burning, killing, looting and being opportunistic.

Among the Wanderers, the strongest is only a first-level evolver, and they all don't want to be bound by Oasis Town and defect.

They then gathered a group of barbarians, formed their own small caravan, and wandered in the uninhabited wasteland.

And with the 9 points of damage and a thousand bullets of the lv45 precision pistol, Lin Feng can snipe and kill not only dozens or hundreds of wanderers, but even evolvers from a distance.

Combined with Chen Shanshan's close combat restraint, there is really no need to worry about this problem.

Even the sight of tens of thousands of refugees who looked like wild beasts made Lin Feng feel a little scared.

After obtaining map guidance and a telescope, as well as reminders about wanderers, Lin Feng and the others walked out of Shengquan Village and returned to the tram.

The two briefly described the next itinerary and the news of the Wanderer's existence to the other five team members.

Liu Mingfei then stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel one and a half circles to the right, and drove towards the right side of Oasis Avenue.

At this time, the speed of the tram has been significantly improved.

Lin Feng glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a reminder pop up that the durability repair of the lv9 light passenger car was completed, as well as the attribute changes:
Light passenger car level 10, red quality

"Basic Attributes: Defense 60; Durability 10/10; Maximum Speed ​​5km; Item Level Exceeds Host Level, Temporarily Unable to Upgrade"

「Additional attribute: speed adjustment (1/2/5km/h)」

"Note: The comprehensive upgrade of photovoltaic panels has given the light bus ample power. Paired with advanced motors, the overall power system has been optimized and improved, with the top speed increased to 5 kilometers per hour."

A speed of five kilometers is already faster than most electric vehicles. Even later-stage enhanced humans can only run twenty to thirty kilometers at this speed.

People and animals need rest, but trams don't get tired. As long as there is enough sunlight, they can keep running.

The tram's increased speed can be a big help when chasing prey such as rock wildebeest.

It greatly saves everyone's physical energy in pursuit.

Now, only twenty kilograms of level nine rock wildebeest dried meat are needed to upgrade all photovoltaic panels to the current level nine upper limit, allowing the speed of the tram to be increased again.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng became more and more looking forward to the upcoming hunting season.

As the tram accelerated away from Oasis Town...

On a hillside on the right side of Oasis Avenue, Old Duncan's team of savages were holding binoculars.

"They went to Shengquan Village. Could they be affiliated with the Shengquan Cult? But the Shengquan Cult doesn't only recruit second-generation barren people as the guardian force of the Church."

At this time, Lisa changed from the enthusiastic and cheerful girl in the fifth village. She held half a sea buckthorn root in her mouth and spoke with a somewhat indifferent look in her eyes.

Old Duncan put down his telescope:

"I'm not sure. If they want to obtain the path to evolution from Holy Spring Village, then there's no need to continue contacting them. The church's dogs will only bring us more trouble."

"Let's go, they're coming."

"We will proceed as planned. After capturing the Rockhorn Horse, we will go our separate ways, carrying our supplies and spoils to the Taishan Ruins where Lord Bai is."

Lisa sighed with some regret.

She quite likes Lin Feng. If she recruits him into the Lord's team, they can fight side by side in the future.

　I tested positive after returning from a wedding. I didn't pay attention to it yesterday, I just had a sore throat. Today I had a fever, cough and runny nose. Several classmates who went with me also tested positive. Please be careful as the temperature is dropping during the National Day holiday.

　　If you have symptoms of sore throat, take two oseltamivir tablets first.
