Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 386 - 197: Wolf Race Memories, Wolf Ao’s Ambition, Global Upheaval

At that moment, the mushroom cloud rising in the distance reminded Wolf Ao of the artillery barrages they faced when attacking the Human Federation’s capital.

It was a battle that determined the situation in North America.

The Beast Race, as the attacker, was primarily comprised of the elite Wolf Race led by Wolf King Ao, along with other Tier Two Beast Races, numbering in the millions of Evolutionary Beasts.

They completely encircled the capital city located within the northeastern coastal bay, coordinating with several Tier Three King Beasts attacking from the sea, intending to capture the human capital and break human morale.

A nation’s capital holds immense significance within human society, and if it falls, it implies that the country is on the brink of destruction.

Therefore, during that battle, both the Beast Race and humans exerted their full strength, wanting to repel the other.

Humans used every means at their disposal except nuclear weapons, including horrifying white phosphorus bombs and rockets capable of blazing a path through the wilderness.

But ultimately, all those attempts had little effect.

The Evolution Beast Race infiltrated by flying and tunneling, continuously attacking human bases from the inside.

Using this method, where the enemy had me within and I had the enemy within, they prevented humans from using destructive weapons,

during which Lang Yue fought on the front lines, using his Level 29 strength to continuously breach human defenses and kill human Tier Two Evolvers.

At that time, Wolf King Ao even made a promise that whoever could breach the base first and defeat the humans would receive the next Tier Three Beast King’s promotion spot.

Apart from encouraging subordinates, the Wolf Race, led by the Wolf King, had already occupied two-thirds of North America, and the vast territory was sufficient to support new Tier Three Kings.

Also, with Wolf King Ao having advanced to Mid-Tier Three, he needed an early-stage subordinate to help manage the vast territories.

So Lang Yue recklessly sought to capture the capital and secure first place.

Everything went as he wished; the million-strong Beast Tide on land, with the help of Sea Beasts, successfully captured the heavily guarded capital city.

But before Lang Yue could embrace his path to Tier Three, the humans, disregarding the tens of thousands of survivors in the capital, deployed a nuclear bomb aiming to kill the visiting Beast Race leader, Wolf King Ao.

It was a neutron bomb specifically targeted at life forms, with immense power, especially lethal to living forces, capable of killing enemies hiding in shelters.

And the explosion’s center point was only six or seven kilometers away from Lang Yue; fortunately, he found a shelter to hide in, and with his Tier Two Body’s self-healing ability, even if heavily injured, as long as he wasn’t killed on the spot, he could still survive.

But the targeted Wolf King Ao wasn’t so lucky.

The nuclear blast’s center was only within a kilometer of him, and even with his strong Physique, moving five hundred meters before the bomb landed...

he was still only one and a half kilometers away.

The intense explosion firelight scorched the earth.

The fireball was two to three hundred meters in size!

The temperature surged to several hundred degrees in an instant, even blowing away the surrounding air!

At that moment, the Wolf King endured a hellish experience of neutron stream bombardment capable of piercing all genetic protein chains and his entire body heated to a boiling point under the scorching light!

Yet, amidst such severe and violent attacks, when the nuclear blast’s firelight dissipated after several seconds, and the sound of the explosion echoed in the rising mushroom cloud...

the hundred-meter-long figure of Wolf King Ao still stood proudly outside the explosion center, like an invincible high wall.

The nuclear bomb did not kill the Tier Three Wolf King, and afterward, he quickly led the surviving Beast Race away from the devastated capital city, continuing to pursue humans.

At that time, Lang Yue was first deeply shocked by the nuclear explosion’s power, and then a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes upon seeing Wolf King Ao’s figure, but he quickly concealed it.

He knew very well that under such an explosion, even if he were ten times stronger, there was no chance of surviving.

Only a Tier Three King Beast could withstand it.

After this, Lang Yue completely surrendered his ambitions, choosing to linger quietly.

The nuclear explosion cloud from years ago, along with the majestic figure of Wolf King Ao, remained in his memory, even thousands of years later in the Wasteland Era, vivid whenever he heard familiar loud sounds and saw mushroom clouds.

When Wolf King Ao perished together with the Human Race’s Tier Three Kings within the Taishan Shelter, Lang Yue, as the strongest among the five Wolf Generals, seized the guardianship of the Wolf King’s Tomb from the other four Late Tier Two Clan Leader Level Giant Wolves.

Since then, by relying on the radiation energy of the Wolf King’s Body, and the continuous arrival of wolf packs at Fallen Wolf Valley, the longevity of Lang Yue surpassed that of any other Wolf Generals.

Although never truly advancing to a Tier Three King Beast, he had effectively become the king of the Wolf Race.

And so, he renamed himself Wolf Ao, considering the given name Wolf Yue by Wolf King Ao as a form of disgrace.

Unfortunately, although the conscience of the Wolf King remained, he became a polluting seal that could not leave.

Moreover, with Lang Ao being well advanced in age, his life had no more chance of becoming a Tier Three Beast King; he could only guard the Wolf King’s Tomb for him and raise future generations.

And now, as Lang Ao’s life draws to an end, he is forced to give his all to ensure his descendants become the next candidates for Wolf King.

Thus, he quickly set his sights on the human settlement closest to the Taishan Ruins: Oasis Town.

As the self-proclaimed uncrowned king, Wolf Ao had grown accustomed to seeing himself in the role of Wolf King, arrogant and ruthless, utterly dismissing any power without a Tier Three King present.
