Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 611 - 294: Severed Arm, Decided Outcome, and Candor_3
Over time, the relationship between the two sides has evolved from one of hierarchy into a mutually beneficial state, with the Oasis providing the Holy City with information about the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area and a large quantity of photovoltaic panels.
In return, the Holy City would fill the heavy truck fuel tanks of the pilgrimage convoy with clean fresh water.
This relationship has persisted for hundreds of years and has long since cooled to a stalemate. According to intelligence from the Life Farm behind Li Hao, the Holy City Diocese is even eager to see the Oasis suffer heavy damage, which would then justify taking over.
Additionally, the higher-ups at the Life Farm have guaranteed to recruit a powerful team of Wanderers to intercept the support teams from the Holy City.
Therefore, Li Hao can almost certainly conclude that his opponent, who had just severed his left arm, is none other than Lord Bishop of the Oasis.
And Bishop Zhang Hui, who is over nine hundred years old and nearing the end of his life, has a usual strength at most around the early Tier Two. Even with Holy Spring Water, it would be around mid-stage, comparable to Father Su An.
However, to erupt with the strongest peak state of his life at the end, can only be achieved at the cost of exhausting the very last of his life force.
Thus, although the Lord Bishop is powerful, there was only one opportunity for him to strike.
Li Hao has always been on guard against Bishop Zhang Hui employing a tactic of mutual destruction, taking him down together and then entrusting the Oasis to Father Su An.
Consequently, Li Hao has kept a precious trump card, just in case the Lord Bishop makes a last-ditch effort leading to mutual destruction.
Yet, despite all his calculations, he hadn’t accounted for his opponent opting for a risky duel outside the city, rather than ensuring the safety of the Oasis Battleship by staying onboard.
But what baffled and hesitated Li Hao even more was...
Certainly, Zhang Hui had already succeeded and had the opportunity to kill him directly; why then, at the last moment, did he choose to spare his life, only cutting off a left arm that had already lost its mobility?
Thinking this, Li Hao, knowing escape was unlikely, decided not to continue hiding but walked out from the cover of the boulder to confront the Lord Bishop, secretly clutching a special Evolution Potion in preparation to use it at any moment.
Seeing Li Hao approach slowly, Bishop Zhang Hui swung the armor-piercing wolf spear in his hand, picking up a thick severed arm nearby, and advanced towards Li Hao.
The two stopped when they were only a hundred meters apart.
At this moment, Bishop Zhang Hui, in his full strength aided by the Undying Holy Armor and armor-piercing wolf spear, could still continue to inflict severe damage or directly kill Li Hao.
The latter also understood this, thus spoke openly:
"You win, old man..."
"Why spare me a life? To kill the chicken to scare the monkey, ensuring a smooth takeover of the Three Villages of the Oasis afterward? Or do you intend for me to die painfully and bitterly..." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Bishop Zhang Hui didn’t answer but swung the long spear, first pointing to the Oasis Battleship approaching behind him:
"There, are two battleship heavy cannons that can kill all Tier Two evolutionary forms, their power you have seen with your own eyes."
Speaking, the Lord Bishop’s armor-piercing wolf spear instantly turned to the other side, pointing between the mountain ranges to the west ahead:
"As for there, currently ambushing are over ten thousand evolved desolate wolves, led by the Wolf Race Leader, Wolf Ao, a terrifying giant wolf at Level 29, leading the entire Desert Wolf Race, intending to pillage and massacre Oasis Town."
"Now tell me, do you want to die under the cannon fire, letting your people become food for wolves..."
"Or before dying, gain a good reputation for yourself and save the Li Family at the same time."
