Rise of the Wasteland in Cultivation

After the fake eyeball was crushed, a plume of black smoke rose, and the eerie red light went out, leaving behind a burnt smell. Leng San stared at the scattered parts, his brows furrowing deeply. This thing actually had an upload function? Did it upload successfully? Probably not.

Since the nuclear war, the global network has been paralyzed. Although twenty years have passed, only a few large-scale shelters have restored network coverage, while small places like Camp C-361 have no network access at all.

"Third Brother, Third Brother!" The fat man's anxious voice came from the overpass, breaking Leng San's thoughts.

He looked up and saw the fat man, covered in sweat, leaning out from the guardrail of the overpass. He waved and said, "Here."

Seeing that Leng San was unharmed, the fat man was overjoyed and said, "Brother San, please wait a moment, I'll go down from that exit."

After finishing his sentence, the fat man grabbed his round shield and ran towards the highway exit. It turned out that after learning that Leng San had left the camp, the Hyena Squad immediately chased after him in their cars. He couldn't help but worry about Leng San's safety, so he grabbed his weapon and ran onto the ring road, running for nearly ten kilometers in one go.

After exiting the highway overpass, Fatty quickly discovered the four corpses, including Baldy's. He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "Tsk tsk, Little Third Brother is too awesome. He actually took down the Hyena Squad all by himself."

Sure enough, when Fatty arrived at Leng San's side, he found that One-Eyed was also dead, his heart pierced by a laser gun.

"Brother San, you're amazing! You wiped out the hyena scavenging team all by yourself!" the fat man said with admiration.

Yesterday, Ye Wenrou and I almost got wiped out by the Hyena Squad. I didn't expect Leng San to single-handedly and easily wipe out the entire Hyena Squad. Tsk tsk, the difference in strength is really huge. No wonder he refused to join the Canglang Squad.

Looking at the fat man, who was carrying a shield and running around covered in sweat, Leng San found him strangely endearing and asked, "Fatty, can you drive an off-road vehicle?"

The fat man immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I can. I may not have many other skills, but driving is my forte. No matter what kind of car it is, even if it's a tank, I can basically drive it if I just tinker with it a little... Ahem, Brother San, you don't think I'm bragging, do you?"

Leng San shook his head and laughed, "No, you're not Brother Chen, bragging isn't your forte."

The fat man chuckled: "You really understand him, Third Brother."

"Alright, I'll trouble Fatty to pack everything up and load it onto the truck, and take it all back to the camp. I'll give you 20% later," Leng San said.

"No, no, it's my honor to work for Brother San, how could I accept money?" the fat man waved his hands repeatedly.

Leng San said seriously, "Just because Fatty ran more than ten kilometers to get here, these two points are rightfully yours. Don't be polite with me, unless Fatty doesn't consider me, Leng San, a friend."

The fat man paused for a moment, then said excitedly, "Well... thank you very much, Brother Xiao San! Hehe!"

Next, the fat man quickly looted the bodies of the five members of the hyena squad, loaded all the valuables into the trunk of the off-road vehicle, and then drove back to the camp.

When Leng San and Fatty appeared at Camp C-361 and took out a large amount of weapons and supplies for the Hyena Squad from the trunk of the off-road vehicle, the guards and scavengers couldn't help but have subtle expressions.

Tang Hao'er, in particular, didn't dare to meet Leng San's gaze at all, keeping her head down tremblingly until Leng San walked past her. Only then did she dare to raise her head and look at Leng San's back with fear in her eyes.

Actually, when the bald man came to patronize her business last night, she vaguely guessed that this outside scavenging team had a grudge against Leng San, because the bald man kept asking about Leng San's background and his tone was obviously unfriendly.

Tang Hao'er harbored resentment because of the time Chen Xi scratched her face. However, she was afraid of Leng San's strength and dared not retaliate openly. So, after understanding Da Guangtou's intentions, she deliberately answered all his questions and told him all the details about Leng San.

Sure enough, as soon as Leng San left the camp today, Baldy and his men immediately chased after him in their off-road vehicles. Tang Hao'er was secretly delighted, wishing that Baldy and his men would kill Leng San. But in less than half a day, Leng San returned unharmed, bringing back the Hyena Squad's off-road vehicles as well.

Even a fool would understand at this point that the Hyena Squad was finished, most likely wiped out by Leng San.

Including the Viper Squad and the Jialing Motorcycle Brothers, three scavenging squads have already fallen to Leng San. Tsk tsk, this kid is really tough!

Leng San had no idea what Tang Hao'er had done, and even if he did, he wouldn't bother arguing with her. She was just a pitiful woman who sold her body to make a living, and it wasn't worth it.

The Hyena Squad's strength is truly remarkable, as evidenced by their weaponry. They have two laser pistols, two overclocked oscillating blades, and even a Gatling gun in their trunk. Tsk tsk, if the Hyenas hadn't been so careless, it wouldn't have been easy for Leng San to eliminate them.

Leng San kept only a laser pistol and an overclocking oscillator knife, and sold all the other supplies to Old Xu at the supply station, earning another 30,000 contribution points, which he immediately transferred 6,000 to Fatty.

The fat man was overjoyed, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets, and he said repeatedly, "Thank you so much, Third Brother."

After the two finished dividing the loot, they returned to the courtyard house. Ye Wenrou had already woken up, but her lips were pale and she looked somewhat haggard, which were symptoms of excessive blood loss.

The fat man exclaimed with delight, "Thank God, Gentle Girl, you're finally alive! I was so scared yesterday. There was such a huge bloody hole in your stomach, I thought you were beyond saving. I never expected that Brother Xiao San would save you. If I had known that Brother Xiao San's medical skills were so amazing, Boss wouldn't have needed to go to the B-level shelter for treatment. The treatment wasn't effective, and the fees were ridiculously high..."

Ye Wenrou glared at him and said, "Fatty, you talk too much!"

After saying that, she said gratefully to Leng San, "Xiao San, thank you. I'm much better now. I'm so grateful for your help these past two days. I'll go back and rest for a few days, and I'll come back to thank you when I'm better." After saying that, she struggled to stand up.

The fat man hurriedly said, "Gentle girl, your injury is only starting to improve. Why don't you stay a couple more days and let Brother Xiao San treat you again?"

Ye Wenrou said somewhat angrily, "Stop talking nonsense and come help me up!"

The fat man shrank his neck and quickly stepped forward to help Ye Wenrou leave, glancing apologetically at Leng San, wondering what kind of temper this young lady had thrown at him again.

Leng San didn't try to stop him. He watched as the fat man helped Ye Wenrou leave, and then closed the door.

Chen Xi walked over, looking at Leng San with a puzzled expression. The latter smiled and said, "It's none of your business. Ye Wenrou isn't angry; she just doesn't want to owe me too many favors."

Upon hearing this, the little girl walked away and went to the east wing to move several pots of crops to the yard to bask in the sun.

Leng San was secretly delighted. Chen Xi's autism had clearly improved, and she had even started to care about other people's feelings. If this continued, she should be able to speak soon, right?
