Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 371 - 191: Intimidation, Empowerment Grenade, Camp Intruder
Let a Tier One Mid-Stage Evolver do this, it’s completely a waste of talent.
However, ammunition production is the most important matter for a newly established convoy, the foundation for settling down.
Although shells have always been prohibited items, they’re not considered taboo like Pure Life Source Material by the Holy Spring Sect, because the raw materials are controlled by the Church.
Even if it’s discovered that they’re being mass-produced, as long as it’s not too outrageous, and there’s a willingness to swear allegiance to the Church, then it’s business in a gray area.
Therefore, Lin Feng can only arrange trustworthy people to be responsible for the operation of machine equipment to ensure the capital source is secure.
"Tomorrow we are trading with Nongzhuang Village and Mechanical Village, they each want a thousand rounds."
"Schedule the transaction for tomorrow morning, it’s a bit tight, so you two put in more effort and pull an all-nighter."
Lin Feng saw twelve boxes of already packed ammunition, fifty rounds per box; a total of six hundred rounds here, and at the current speed of 200 rounds per hour, it needs production for three hours.
And now, the two thousand rounds require a total of ten hours, and it’s already past ten at night, indeed requiring overtime to make it in time.
Liu Qian, having an accounting background, quickly organized a production schedule, marking raw material consumption rate, and production efficiency of finished products.
Lin Feng gave it a rough glance and nodded:
"Then it’s hard work for everyone, this counts as your overtime; you’ll receive double Evolutionary Meat then!"
Though there’s not much Mid-Term Evolutionary Meat left, it’s still more than enough for Ah Ming and the two to consume.
Upon hearing that they could once again eat the same level of Evolutionary Meat, the faces of the two women lit up with excitement and joy,
they quickly accelerated their actions.
At this moment, Liu Qian holding a special half-empty box called out to Lin Feng, who was about to leave, opened it and presented it forward.
Inside there were twenty grenades, looking not much different from the ones dropped at the equipment outlet, all 35mm standard size.
But when Lin Feng focused his attention on them, he could quickly sense that the surface temperature of these grenades was surprisingly higher than the ones freshly produced, reaching as high as 40 to 50 degrees.
"Are these Empowered Grenades?"
Lin Feng took one out and held it in his hand to inspect.
The Heavy Truck Transporter had air conditioning, even when equipment ran at full power, the temperature could drop below 30 degrees, still fairly comfortable.
In such an environment, being able to maintain 40 to 50 degrees indicated even higher internal temperatures.
The energy and striking power they contained would naturally be superior to other ordinary grenades.
Liu Qian nodded and began to introduce:
"Initially, my Superpower wasn’t sufficient to empower such large shells, until just recently I advanced to a Tier One Mid-Stage, and tried it out."
"Currently, the strength of the Superpower has greatly improved, able to empower more than fifty standard grenades at once, but after empowerment, there’s a period of weakness, requiring consumption of Evolutionary Meat to quickly recover."
Lin Feng nodded, at this moment information about the Empowered Grenades also appeared before him:
"Successfully upgraded from ordinary grenades to Empowered High-Explosive Grenades after extra empowerment!"
"Empowered High-Explosive Grenade Level 16, Red Quality"
"Damage 120 (original damage 90 points, extra 30 points added after empowerment, kill radius of 8 meters, can deal extra damage to mutated pollutants)"
Seems pretty good; the Empowered Grenades can already be considered small artillery shells, comparable to small-caliber grenade cannons. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Capable of killing fully armed Tier One Mid-Stage Evolvers, or severely injuring Late-stage Evolvers, using it to arm the convoy and equip to combat squads couldn’t be better.
"Alright, you produce 200 rounds first, wait to receive four kilograms of Level 14 Evolutionary Meat, then distribute 400 Empowered Grenades,"
Lin Feng instructed.
Liu Qian nodded, now with the ammunition production machine binding her, she wouldn’t be gradually marginalized within the team.
This is more important than anything else.
"Understood!"
After leaving the ammunition production vehicle, Lin Feng arrived beside another Heavy Truck Transporter.
This vehicle was driven by Liu Mingfei, loaded with necessities for the convoy at the back including water source, food, and a storage room for backup weapons and ammunition.
The total fresh water storage was 100 tons, sent by the Church and Guild, kept in the small front section of the carriage, with a 200-ton water tank designed here.
Occupying 10 meters in length.
And with 100 tons of storage capacity, for the convoy, it allows 5 kilograms per person per day, usable for 400 days, over a year.
Greatly enhancing the team’s wild survival capabilities.
In addition, there’s 500 kilograms of Enhanced Meat, and some pharmaceuticals and weapon ammunition.
These are the core of the entire team; as long as they are firmly controlled, the team won’t disperse.
After scanning, Lin Feng returned to the front Wolf Armor Battle Car, planning to rest well for a while.
The previous trading process wasn’t complicated, but the conversation with Li Mingquan at the end kept Lin Feng’s mind tense the entire time.
The opponent was the first person Lin Feng met, carrying an apparent animosity of the same tier as a Strong Person.
Tier Two Evolver confrontations often result in a winner in an instant.
Whoever can seize the initiative matters most.
Especially since the small enclosed space inside the car is not suitable for Lin Feng to exploit his artillery advantage; even with Power Armor, he wasn’t confident in suppressing Li Mingquan.
Thus, this conversation, both sides were on edge, seemingly calm and innocuous on the surface, but the core muscle underneath was tense, fearing the opponent would suddenly make a move.
Thankfully, the final outcome was decent; both sides reached an agreement, at least capable of lessening the harm to the Oasis Town residents as much as possible, maintaining the current order.
However, as Lin Feng took off his Battle Armor, Chen Shanshan from the driver’s seat walked up, looking grave.
Lin Feng’s eyes slightly narrowed, sensing something:
"What happened? Did someone infiltrate while we were at Dawn Village earlier?"
Chen Shanshan nodded, with a heavy face:
"It was someone from Mechanical Village, Tier One Mid-Stage strength, stealthily infiltrated from the right side into the convoy, attempting to sabotage our two Heavy Truck Transporters..."
Lin Feng frowned slightly:
"Where’s the person now?"
Chen Shanshan pointed to the ordinary transporter behind.
Inside were a heap of heavy Black Boxes, carrying a large amount of mutant flesh.
"The incident happened suddenly, I directly used the Dark Domain Superpower to lead him out."
Chen Shanshan paused for a moment, continued speaking:
"Then I found Ding Yi, and asked her how to handle it."
"She said it’s best not to kill him yet, imprison him, and also not let others in the convoy see, to avoid causing panic."
"I thought it made sense, but definitely can’t be kept inside the Battle Car, too many secret items here, so I threw him to the back."
"Those Black Boxes can shield genetic radiation, should not have much impact on him, I purposely knocked him out, tied his limbs tightly."
Lin Feng nodded, with Zong Shiyue present in the transporter, not much would go wrong.
Even if the opponent is a death warrior, refusing to say a word, spiritual pollution from Zong Shiyue can be used to invade his thinking and retrieve memory fragments.
"Let’s go, check it out."
The two then entered the transporter behind; as Tier Two Evolvers, on the surface, they weren’t worried about radiation pollution.
The energies of these pollution sources were mostly suppressed by Scorching Sun’s curse, incapable of spreading wantonly as it did in relics and twisting everything.
Once inside the carriage, they saw the intruder lying on the ground.
Currently trembling all over, even losing control of his bladder.
Lin Feng frowned slightly, the car windows were covered with paper and curtains, making the light quite dim.
Slowly walking forward, he pinned down the man struggling like a worm on the ground, removed the gag cloth wrapped on his face, and asked:
"Who sent you? The leader of Mechanical Village..."
"Or Li Mingquan?"
Hearing Li Mingquan’s name, the man paused, but soon returned to his delirious expression, starting to babble nonsense.
Lin Feng pursed his lips, tapped the rear black box.
Inside, Zong Shiyue reluctantly emerged.
To reduce consumption, this time no phantom Spirit Body projection condensed, but instead, words rang directly in Lin Feng’s mind:
"Doesn’t seem faked, but has nothing to do with me."
"That little girl threw him to the beginning of the cargo compartment, seven or eight meters from me, wouldn’t have much impact."
Speaking, Zong Shiyue’s voice suddenly halted, seemingly realizing something, after a pause of two or three seconds, his tone sped up slightly and continued:
"Check his hands, feet, and teeth!"
Lin Feng abruptly turned around, looking towards the black box placed at the innermost.
Then pried open the man’s mouth underneath, discovering his canine teeth lengthened, with a streak of silver white!
And the tied hands, fingernails became thick and sharp!
Radiation twisted mutation phenomenon!
Zong Shiyue’s words, hauntingly echoed:
"That guy actually followed!"
"Ha! You wanted to study alien cell cultivation; now you have a live sample here!"
