Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 633 - 303: Repelled, Final Words, Life Farm
But even if he escaped the life-and-death crisis, Li Hao had little chance of surviving past the calamity.
After all, although the Ascension Potion’s effects had worn off, the Tier Two Late Stage Rock-Horned Horse Evolution Agent couldn’t stably activate late-stage cells.
At this moment, the late-term evolutionary flesh inside Li Hao was continuing to proliferate uncontrollably due to excessive stimulation.
Even though Li Hao had regained his composure and was no longer in a frenzied state, he couldn’t control the Tier Two Late Stage cells still rapidly replicating inside him.
These Level 27 cells, like locusts, continuously consumed Li Hao’s nutrients, and even began killing other accumulated cells for nourishment when deprived of resources.
So under the Rock Horse Armor, Li Hao, after leaving combat, became increasingly emaciated, reduced to mere skin and bones, his appearance ghastly.
Lord Bishop then approached him, along with Bai Ye behind him, and looked down at this once all-powerful man who had controlled the lives of thousands.
Li Hao opened the Rock Horse Armor, revealing his head and upper body.
At this moment, the outer Rock Horse Armor was severely worn and cracked from the constant assaults by two Desolate Wolf Beasts, barely holding on to protect its driver.
Aside from the internal biological tissue still being intact, the outer Clay Steel Defense Layer was shattered and no longer functional.
Li Hao, now powerless to fight, was nearing the end of his life, ready to embrace death.
"Cough, cough..."
"I did it, what you promised me..."
Li Hao coughed up blood from his chest, speaking intermittently.
Lord Bishop nodded silently:
"I will instruct Father Su An, the Oasis Li Family will be split into three parts. A small portion will be given to Leader Bai as a reward for assistance, while the rest will be divided by the Church and Lin Feng."
"In the future, Oasis Town will return to the Holy City, and all townsfolk, including the Deserters, will become believers, eliminating the need for such a massive Rock-Horned Horse breeding industry."
"As for the Li Family branch in the Holy City, nothing will happen to them. I will also report your achievements as agreed."
Li Hao nodded and suddenly laughed:
"Let it be, cough, cough, let Lin Feng come. Since that kid wants to take away my people, there are things I want to tell him to avoid the same mistakes I made."
Lord Bishop guessed what Li Hao wanted to say, but it didn’t really involve Lin Feng, so he looked behind him.
Two kilometers away, Lin Feng and his companion, after ensuring Wolf Ao was gravely injured and the three-headed Desolate Wolf Beast had retreated, quickly made their way to the battle ground with Chen Shanshan.
They were now less than two hundred meters from the location of the three individuals.
When Lin Feng arrived, Li Hao was already on the verge of death, and Lord Bishop planned to return to Oasis Town to check the resistance there.
Bishop Zhang Hui glanced at Lin Feng, who immediately understood, nodding slightly, indicating he would bring back Li Hao’s body.
After all, Li Hao hadn’t completely died yet, and his late-stage Rock-Horned Horse cells were critical evolutionary resources for the team to enhance their strength.
Once Lord Bishop left, Bai Ye initially intended to stay, but seeing that Li Hao only wanted to talk to Lin Feng alone and considering the convoy he commanded was partially captured by Wolf Ao, requiring prompt rescue to prevent the wounded Wolf Ao from retaliating...
After discussing with Lin Feng, they decided that Bai Ye would first lead his vehicle squadron back to the mountains.
Lin Feng nodded:
"No problem, we’ll also form a Tier Two Elite Squad to hunt early-stage Desolate Wolf Beasts, weakening the Desert Wolf Race’s strength."
"Everyone can cooperate at that time."
Bai Ye nodded, collected all the space nodes on the ground, and left.
Only Li Hao and Lin Feng remained, along with Chen Shanshan standing nearby on guard.
"Cough cough, I never expected that, in the end, it was thanks to you that Wolf Ao was dealt with..."
"That cannon shot just now was what you wanted to use during our sparring, right? Firearms Superpower is indeed the most destructive, but unfortunately, no Firearms Superpower User has ever reached Tier Three to become the dominant Tier Three Gun King..."
Li Hao paused for a long time after saying this.
Lin Feng squinted his eyes; Li Hao, in his final moments, may have been trying to involve him to complete his unfinished schemes.
Seeing Lin Feng’s lack of reaction, Li Hao spoke directly:
"Cough, cough, the biggest regret for Rock Horse Warriors on the Rock-Horned Horse Path is not being able to step onto the late-stage and Tier Three King path."
"Next, you should also leave Oasis Town and venture to the Holy City. Within the major forces in the second layer of the large settlements, there’s a leading faction called the Life Farm."
"It’s a biotech giant and a major producer of evolutionary meat in the Holy City, akin to the farm in Oasis Town."
"But the Life Farm is more advanced; they have super technology from the Old Earth Era to clone and cultivate flesh from Tier Two Clan Leader Level Rock Horse Giant Beasts, extracting all gene value from Tier Two Giant Beast Evolution Meat without the need to breed them."
"Life Farm holds the majority of the Rock-Horned Horse gene sequence and has compiled the genetic library of the Rock-Horned Horse Race."
"Over the past centuries, Life Farm’s relentless efforts have successfully developed Tier Two Late-stage Rock Horse Beast Evolutionary Cells and extracted Life Source Material from evolutionary flesh using low-temperature extraction technology, creating Tier Two Late Stage Rock-Horned Horse Evolution Agent."
"The agent I used in the battle..."
"Cough, cough, but this technology is still immature, still in human trials, with a 50% success rate in labs and less than 10% under natural conditions."
"So, I’m almost gone, just a few minutes left before uncontrolled late-stage cells will cause me to die from self-cannibalization, leading to bodily collapse."
"This path needs successors to perfect it."
Li Hao struggled to lift his head, focusing on the young man standing under the scorching sun:
"When you reach the Holy City, if you want to improve the Rock-Horned Horse breeding industry, you’ll have to interact with Life Farm."
"Preserve my body, freeze the late-term flesh to prevent further cell cannibalization and self-destruction."
"These late-stage cells contain the genetic information of my fusion, which can help Life Farm improve the late-stage Rock-Horned Horse Evolution Agent."
"Take my cell samples, find Life Farm’s sub-base in the major settlements, you can exchange them for a chance to use a late-stage Evolution Agent or a large quantity of Tier Two Evolution Meat."
Lin Feng nodded; Li Hao, near death, finally shared some valuable information.
After a brief pause, Li Hao continued:
"Besides, I have another request..."
"Zhang Hui said you’re taking some people from Nongzhuang Village. In the entire Oasis Town, no one knows the Rock-Horned Horse breeding industry better than I do..."
"I’ll tell you about a core group of breeding personnel and a few potential Rock Horses."
"But I need you to agree to one thing."
Lin Feng squinted his eyes:
"Speak."
Li Hao coughed twice, his breath growing weaker:
"Oasis Town is about to be taken over by the Holy City and become the next Great Cathedral. Those left behind have no future..."
"I need you to take my aide with you. He’s followed me for several hundred years and is my most trusted confidant. Bring him to the Holy City; he can help establish a foothold for the Li Family’s backup branches set up there."
"He knows as much about Nongzhuang Village as I do and can help manage those people on the way."
"Once in the Holy City, give him his freedom."
Lin Feng acknowledged that the condition was not unreasonable.
Furthermore, given Li Hao’s current state, he might not finish describing Nongzhuang Village’s situation before passing.
Lin Feng needed someone to help him complete the explanations.
And with the leaderless Nongzhuang Village and Li Family, a successor was needed to enforce Lin Feng’s mandates.
Seeing Lin Feng agree readily, Li Hao visibly relaxed.
His face showed no more burdens.
But just as he was about to die, a light suddenly shone from his murky eyes, fixing on Lin Feng:
"Be... be wary of Life Farm."
"Don’t fully... fully trust them..."
"Han... Han Tao, is the contingency they placed... in Oasis Town, don’t let him obtain my flesh..."
"And... and..."
"They will send people to intercept the Holy City’s reinforcements, stay safe on the road..."
