Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 576 - 280: Reserve Members, Upper Class Recruitment, and Private Slaves

After listening to Rong Yan’s general introduction to the Holy City, Lin Feng immediately fell into deep thought.

In his impression, the Holy City should be a massive mobile city, covering at most a hundred square kilometers, a city cluster with a diameter of ten kilometers.

But not like now, which is just a broad geographic concept.

However, this was also good. After all, this time in Oasis Town, he played such an important role that once noticed, others could easily follow the clues and discern many suspicions about his existence.

Lin Feng dared to make a splash in Oasis Town because there were only ten Tier Two Evolvers here, and except for the Bishop in peak state, no one else posed a life threat to him.

But that was not the case in the Holy City.

Both the large gathering areas in the inner ring and the gang districts in the middle have powerful existences that can instantly seriously injure or kill him, not to mention the seven bishops in the main area.

It’s estimated that a mere glance could see through all the secrets Lin Feng was hiding.

Including the Evil God in the Taishan Ruins and Zong Shiyue, who was like a time bomb.

On this journey to the Holy City, he should get rid of it sooner.

Otherwise, if a real Tier Three Bishop finds out, even if Lin Feng had nine lives, they wouldn’t be enough against a single wave of the opponent’s hand to erase him.

So a Storm Holy City, with a broad concept spanning hundreds of kilometers, could let Lin Feng and his convoy lie low for the time being and buy time for development and growth.

By the time Lin Feng discreetly improves his evolution level, accumulates power and resources, and advances to the late Tier Two, he could then stand out in front of a Tier Three Bishop or King.

To complete this series of covert development, Lin Feng and his convoy would need an experienced guide to help find a hidden place of refuge.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng nodded, then affirmed:

"It seems that even on the side of the Holy City, it’s not so peaceful; it’s a world where danger and opportunity coexist."

Rong Yan nodded in agreement, adding a bit of flattery:

"That’s right, but it is precisely this kind of situation that is more suitable for Leader Lin, and folks like us from the countryside who hope to develop in the Holy City, to find our way to survival."

Lin Feng silently nodded, then looked at the mother and daughter in front of him:

"With your familiarity and understanding of the Holy City, you can indeed provide a lot of help to my convoy. I can promise you to save your daughter, Rong Zhiyun..."

"But as a condition for saving her, I need you to help me accomplish another task."

Rong Yan let out a breath, then said seriously:

"Please say it. As long as it’s something I can do, I will never refuse, even if it’s a dangerous task!"

Lin Feng nodded, thought for a long time, and then said:

"After my convoy goes to the Holy City, it will definitely need continuous expansion to keep growing, but if we absorb local Enhanced People or Evolvers in the Holy City, we will certainly be watched, and might even attract a lot of enemy spies."

"This is inevitable, after all, we are not the local bullies. Those gang forces have been operating in the Holy City for hundreds to thousands of years..."

"So to avoid exposing details too early, we must cultivate the backbone of the convoy in advance, and when we decide to expand forces in the future, have them hold key positions in the organization to prevent being corroded by enemy infiltrators."

Hearing this, Rong Yan responded immediately and excitedly asked:

"Do you mean to recruit a batch of members in Oasis Town as the future middle and high-level cadre?"

Lin Feng nodded and continued:

"Yes, not only that, these people must have clean backgrounds, preferably with no ties to the Holy City, and have potential for evolution."

"We can’t have Enhanced People or low-level Evolvers managing other Evolvers."

"So it’s best if they have no blood relation with big families like the Li Family and have at least late Tier One evolution potential."

"Of course, the most important thing is that they must have absolute loyalty."

Mentioning loyalty, Lin Feng looked at Rong Zhiyun, who had come to her senses, smiled, and continued:

"Originally, after witnessing the Church’s electronic collar, I thought of using this Death’s Grip to control a group of Upper Class and gradually transform them into convoy members."

"But the combat quality and survival ability of the Upper Class are really too poor. Except for slightly higher evolution potential, their actual value is not even as good as the Desert Hunting Squad and permanent residents I recruited in Fifth Village."

At this, Rong Yan frowned slightly; this was somewhat different from what she thought. After all, according to Lin Feng’s previous criteria, Upper Class with clean backgrounds seemed the best choice.

But what Lin Feng said later was also true. Most of the Upper Class found it difficult to adapt to the survival environment in the Wasteland, and bringing them along, whether for slave trade or to cultivate as subordinate members, came at a high cost.

Yet Rong Yan knew very well that if she wanted to hitch a ride with Lin Feng and use his power to achieve her own goals and plans...

She had to recruit some Upper Class from her own faction to balance Lin Feng’s existing power, allowing her to have some say among the convoy.

Otherwise, even if she joined Lin Feng’s team and used her daughter to gain a foothold, it would be difficult to achieve anything due to various restraints.

At that point, failing to produce satisfactory results and gradually becoming marginalized within the convoy, losing Lin Feng’s attention, was only a matter of time.

So the key right now is to get Lin Feng to decide to select some members from the Upper District to join his convoy.
