Two Realms: The Dark Wizard Evolves Madly in the Wasteland

Raven brought over 5,000 kilograms of black bread on this trip.

Over there, a kilogram of dark bread can sell for more than two thousand federal dollars.

Profits more than doubled.

Of course, the most important point is that you can get gene enhancement drugs more easily there, unlike in Happy City where you have to report and take tests, which is much less troublesome.

In the wasteland, black bread not only has a long shelf life but is also radiation-free, making it a more sought-after form of hard currency than guns and women.

A journey of over two hundred kilometers would have been a simple matter of pressing the accelerator in my previous life, but in the wasteland, the endless yellow sand and the uneven, potholed terrain posed a considerable challenge.

Li Jing's driving style is extremely aggressive; the off-road vehicle practically flies close to the ground as it traverses the bumpy, dilapidated roads.

The tires rolled over gravel and craters, causing the vehicle to shake violently.

Lin Tao, sitting in the passenger seat, was jolted and disoriented, gripping the roof rails tightly with both hands, his face ashen.

For a first-tier transcendent being like him, insufficient physical stats would easily put him at a disadvantage in the wasteland.

However, Raven, sitting in the back row, remained as steady as a mountain.

He didn't sway violently with the train carriage, and he didn't even move his hands on his knees an inch.

No matter how violent the impact on the chassis was, he remained seated very steadily.

Li Jing took in the whole scene through the rearview mirror.

Her pupils contracted slightly, and her grip on the steering wheel tightened involuntarily.

"That kid Lei Qingshui... he's taken some kind of drug!"

Looking at the other person's calm and composed demeanor,

Li Jing was 100% certain that Lei Qingshui was definitely an enhancement-type superhuman.

Outside the car window, the desolate landscape of the wasteland rushed past like the receding tide.

Beneath the gloomy sky, thick radiation clouds loomed like heavy lead blocks, making it hard to breathe.

【warn!warn! 】

[High-energy biological reaction detected! Quantity: 48! Distance: 3.2 km! Movement speed: Extremely fast!]

"High-energy biological reaction?"

Raven's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze quietly drifted out the car window.

At the same time, Lin Tao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also changed his expression and immediately gave Li Jing a wink.

As a first-order perception-type superhuman, his hearing is far beyond that of ordinary people.

At the same instant that the Deep Blue Reptile alarm sounded in Raven's mind, Lin Tao also caught a very faint rustling sound deep in his eardrums, which was approaching at a terrifying speed.

"Sister Jing!"

Lin Tao suddenly turned his head and gave Li Jing an extremely stern look.

Li Jing was an extremely perceptive mercenary; with just one glance, she instantly understood Lin Tao's meaning.

Her already tense nerves tightened even more, and her right foot was already on the brake.

"Judging from those footsteps, it must be a pack of mutated wolves from the wasteland. There are many of them, and they've already attacked!"

Lin Tao took a breath, abruptly unbuckled his seatbelt, and leaned half his body towards the weapon rack on the roof.

He yanked the heavy sniper rifle—the Barrett M83—from his hand. This sniper rifle is the Federation's latest standard weapon, with a terrifying sniping range of 800-1200 meters.

"Click!"

The sound of a bullet being chambered was particularly crisp inside the carriage.

Lin Tao skillfully rolled down the car window, and a gust of wind carrying sand and dust from the wasteland rushed in instantly.

He lay prone on the edge of the car window, propping his sniper rifle against the window frame.

He stared intently through the scope at the rapidly approaching dust storm behind him.

As Lin Tao aimed, he turned back to comfort Lei Wen.

"Boss Lei, don't worry. No matter what happens later, you just stay in the car... leave the rest to us!"

Raven leaned back in his chair, watching Lin Tao's tense expression, but he didn't care.

If the Red Rose Mercenary Group wasn't strong enough, he would choose to abandon everyone present.

Then he activated the Deep Blue Reptile and left gracefully. These people were mercenaries who only cared about money. He had already spent more than twice the market price to hire them to transport food. If they were not strong enough, it wouldn't be a pity if they died.

"it is good."

He gave a curt reply.

My gaze was quietly fixed on the gray-yellow sky outside the car window.

In his field of vision, there was the approaching dust storm.

It has now transformed into thirty-seven red-glowing points of light, representing high-energy biological reactions.

They are approaching at a terrifyingly rapid pace that defies common sense.

The howl of wolves instantly shattered the deathly silence of the wasteland.

A visible dust storm rose from the distant yellow sand.

Thirty-seven mutated wasteland wolves, each as large as a calf.

Its eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty, eerie green light, and it was chasing after them at a terrifying speed that defied all reason.

Their bodies are covered with gray hairs that look like steel needles.

"Fire!"

Li Jing slammed on the brakes, and the SUV left two long tracks in the sand before coming to an instant stop.

"Da da da da da da!"

The convoy's heavy machine guns roared first, their thick tongues of fire instantly tearing through the dust storm ahead.

Countless bullets rained down like a storm, instantly tearing the lead wolf of the Steppenwolf to shreds.

Faced with humans wielding firearms, the battle could be described as a one-sided massacre, yet Raven's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

【warn!warn! 】

[High-energy biological reaction detected! Quantity: 369! Distance: 2.6 km! Movement speed: Extremely fast!]

However, the gunfire did not stop.

A mercenary with enhanced abilities, responsible for perimeter security, scrambled to the vehicle, his face deathly pale and his voice filled with terror: "Sister Jing! Lieutenant Lin... Oh no! They're all Old Wolves! They're all here to die..."

Before he finished speaking, dozens more old steppe wolves came up to draw fire and die.

The wolves instantly surrounded the convoy.

The wolf pack that arrived from behind did not rush to attack, but instead spread out in a fan shape and surrounded the convoy.

Lin Tao, pressed against the car window, scanned the wolf pack through the scope, his expression changing drastically:

"Sister Jing, something terrible has happened... another huge pack of wolves is coming..."

"Bang!"

Another muffled gunshot rang out.

Lin Tao raised his sniper rifle, aimed, and fired a deadly burst of fire.

An old wolf that tried to pounce on the truck from the side was instantly blown off in the head. Its massive body slammed heavily onto the sand, twitched twice, and then went still.

But this was of no use.

Those old wolves were like a suicide squad devoid of pain, rushing one after another towards the gun barrels, using their flesh and blood to relentlessly deplete the mercenaries' ammunition.

"Sister Jing! Something's wrong... There are too many of them, it's too dangerous, there are at least three hundred!"

"These beasts have no fear of death! They're risking their lives to feed our ammunition! There are still over three hundred more closing in from behind, we have to consider retreating..."

Lin Tao's face and voice were tinged with despair. He glanced subconsciously at Li Jing, who was rushing to the front.

Even though Li Jing is a second-tier enhancement-type superhuman, facing a pack of hundreds of wolves would be extremely dangerous, let alone a perception-type superhuman like him.

Li Jing's reaction surprised Lin Tao; she showed no sign of backing down.

Far from panicking, her cold eyes were fixed on the blood-stained sand ahead, her mind racing.

"Retreat? Where to retreat to? More than three hundred wolves are already closing in. Do you expect us to fight a guerrilla war with these beasts?"

Cars can't outrun these damned beasts, and even though she's a second-tier superhuman, she can't help but be fearless.

But the other mercenaries in the convoy were different; once she led Lei Qingshui to retreat...

So, most of the ordinary people in the mercenary group would be surrounded by more than 300 wasteland wolves, and very few would survive. Of course, there was also the most important thing: if the mission failed and the goods were lost, it would be something that a mere second-tier superhuman like her could not afford to compensate for.

"fine."

Li Jing took a deep breath, her tone carrying an undeniable determination:

"These mutated creatures are so organized and disciplined that there must be an alpha wolf controlling them."

"Once we kill the alpha wolf, these low-IQ beasts will disperse on their own. I'll rush in and create chaos. You find an opportunity to snipe the alpha wolf! Aim to get to Night City before 1 p.m. today!"

"If it really doesn't work out..." Li Jing gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her eyes, "then we'll consider going back to the city!"

Before she finished speaking, Li Jing's assault rifle was instantly cocked.

"Heavy machine guns suppress the front! Jeeps on both flanks, advance outwards! Tear open a gap for us!"

Li Jing's roar exploded amidst the gunfire as she charged forward into the swirling yellow sand and the onrushing wolf pack.

"Da da da da da!"

The roar of the heavy machine gun was deafening, and thick tongues of fire slashed a bloody path through the wolf pack.

Li Jing weaves through a hail of bullets with swift and deadly movements; with each pull of the trigger, an old wolf falls into a pool of blood.

"Lin Tao! Lin Tao...find the wolf!!"

Li Jing's voice came through the walkie-talkie, tinged with a heavy, panting breath.

Lin Tao leaned against the car window, his back soaked with sweat.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He was a perception-based superhuman, and the sniper in the team.

If I can't do it myself, no one in the entire convoy will be able to find the alpha wolf's location.

He slowly moved the crosshairs of his sniper rifle behind the wolf pack.

He knew that the alpha wolf would never stand at the very front.

It must be hiding at the very back of the wolf pack, watching the battlefield with its scarlet eyes, waiting for the fatal moment.

"More than 600 meters away... wind speed of eight meters per second, southwest wind!"

Lin Tao silently counted the distance in his mind. His perception ability was pushed to its limit at this moment, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant.

Suddenly, he caught a faint growl deep in his eardrums, unlike the ordinary howl of a wolf.

"Found it!"

Lin Tao's pupils suddenly contracted, and the crosshairs of his scope instantly locked onto the alpha wolf hidden among the pack three hundred meters away.

There stood a wolf king, twice the size of the other wolves, its fur standing on end like steel needles.

He was coldly observing the battlefield.

The alpha wolf straightened its body and sniffed something in the air.

"Bang!"

The gun fired, but at the same moment the muzzle spurted out a spark, the alpha wolf suddenly ducked its head with lightning speed, and a second later, a huge spray of blood exploded on the body of a nearby wasteland wolf.

"Sister Jing...it's me!"

The Barrett rifle slipped from Lin Tao's hand.

His face turned deathly pale, and he slumped into the passenger seat.

A hissing sound came from the other end of the communicator: "It's okay... You've done very well. If you can't do it, then no one in the entire Red Rose Mercenary Group can."

The next second, a large hand, whiter than a woman's, snatched the sniper rifle from Lin Tao's hand.

"Follow my command! I am a sensory superhuman! I can see the alpha wolf!"
