Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 637 - 305: Li Hao’s Backup Plan, Li Family’s Response, Bai Ye Seeks Help

Watching the departing war vehicle, Zhao Mingsheng withdrew the respect from his face and instead looked expressionlessly at the two people behind him.

This newly emerging Tier Two powerhouse, although young, is extremely meticulous and did not rashly hand over the Rock Horse Armor.

It seems it won’t be easy to fool him later on.

The remaining two senior members of the Li family, Li Litian and Li Lihe, exchanged glances and then looked at the acting village head in front:

"Elder Zhao, are you really going to hand over the core technicians to Lin Feng? They are extremely experienced; just by touching a Rock-Horned Horse, they can judge the horse’s condition..."

"Such hands-on experience cannot be replicated or retained. It must be accumulated over many years to become a qualified horse breeder."

"A hundred years from now, when industry technicians are in short supply, it will be hard to recover."

Zhao Mingsheng looked at the two men and snorted coldly; not a single descendant of the second generation of the Li family was competent.

Expecting them to shoulder the burden of family revival in the future Holy City, it’s better to choose a promising young talent from the third generation of descendants.

Of course, Zhao Mingsheng already had a better choice.

He was saved by Li Hao at the very beginning when the Li family was just being established four hundred years ago, and has followed the patriarch ever since.

It can be said that no one understands Li Hao better than he, who serves as the patriarch’s assistant in the role of steward.

Li Hao’s plan had already accounted for the severe situation today, and even the current situation is somewhat better than the initial failure.

Although the appearance of the Desert Wolf Race forced Li Hao to complete his personal redemption, it also left the Li family with a way out.

Without this town-breaking beast calamity, after Patriarch Li Hao perished with the Oasis Bishop, the Li family would have had no chance of escape.

The main leaders were to be executed directly and displayed to the public, while the remaining subordinates and branches would be dispatched as slaves, suffering until death.

But the crisis in Oasis Town has not been resolved yet; the Oasis Church still needed someone to fend off this beast calamity to protect the Oasis Battleship from being damaged.

Therefore, the originally planned dormant strategy can be brought forward slightly.

Lin Feng is willing to offer a quota of 150 people.

This can take away the entire upper-level combat power of the Li family, enough to form the base of a regular second-tier influence.

This is equivalent to a second-tier gang in the Gang District of the Holy City, not a bottom-tier one in small and medium-sized settlements.

This way, they can skip the dormant phase originally planned by Li Hao, without having to choose a member with decent talent from the remaining family disciples to advance to a Tier Two Early Stage Evolver to lead the family in development for decades.

Instead, they will directly go to a large settlement, find the sub-branch of the Life Farm, and extract the stem cell information that Li Hao stored when he was young, using the Li family’s contribution points to apply for the clone project.

Directly cultivate a Li Hao clone whose gene matches more highly with the Rock-Horned Horse, to then take over the remaining base of the Li family.

Lead the family to expand their power, to become top-tier in the Gang District, rapidly plundering enough evolutionary resources to pave the way for restoring strength in the future.

The optimized clone through gene editing is part of the life farm’s Tier Three Horse King plan, a solution to the compatibility issue.

Therefore, the new generation of cloned Li Hao can successfully advance to Late Tier Two and then, as a formal member of the Life Farm, challenge the singular Tier Three Horse King.

And this planned arrangement is also the final contingency of Li Hao in initiating this rebellion.

Even if he himself, as the original, due to various factors, is unable to witness with his own eyes the Tier Three breakthrough of the Rock-Horned Horse evolution path in his lifetime...

He still wants his clone to accomplish this feat in replacement of himself.

And as the executor of this auxiliary plan, loyal only to Li Hao himself, Zhao Mingsheng is undoubtedly the best choice.

As for the Li family, they were just one of the tools in Li Hao’s hands, from start to finish.

Letting them understand this plan clearly poses great risk.

After all, who would be willing to be betrayed by the patriarch once and still continue to work like an ox or a horse for his clone?

At this moment, looking at the senior members of the Li family, each harboring their own thoughts, Zhao Mingsheng let out a cold laugh before slowly speaking:

"Leader Lin didn’t get this far relying solely on guns and artillery; If you dare fool him, aren’t you afraid of dying midway after being found out?"

"Once we leave Oasis Town, we don’t even qualify as teaching slaves; in the wasteland where the weak are prey, the other side can easily kill us with just a flick of a finger..."

"Now that Li Mingquan is dead, the patriarch has fallen. Without the protection of a Tier Two Evolver, the power and status of the Li family are even inferior to the Fifth Village. I advise you to put away those thoughts, and manage your people well, lest you anger a Tier Two powerhouse, using the Li family as a meat shield and bait, and drive us to the front lines to fight the evolved desolate wolves."

"For now, only by surviving to reach the Holy City, and then paying Lin Feng a redemption fee with the hope of his magnanimous release, is our ultimate goal."

After speaking, Zhao Mingsheng took a long breath, ignored the pale faces of the two men, and boarded the war vehicle to return to the Farm in Nongzhuang Village.

Leaving behind Li Litian and Li Lihe, who moved from terror to doubt.

Youngest brother Li Lihe clicked his tongue and spoke resentfully:

"If it weren’t for us discovering the Wolf Race’s attack in time and organizing manpower for defense, the Farm in Nongzhuang Village would have been overrun by the Desert Wolves a long time ago, and the frightened Rock-Horned Horse Herd would have suffered heavy losses too."

"Old Zhao went with the patriarch to participate in the martial contest, not only was driven back by the Wolf Race army, but also let father die at the wolf’s jaws, and ultimately even didn’t guard father’s body from becoming someone else’s war trophy..."
