Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 638 - 305: Li Hao’s Backup Plan, Li Family’s Response, Bai Ye Seeks Reinforcements (Part 2)
"That guy actually dared to brazenly use the status of a steward to take over the management of Nongzhuang Village, hateful!"
Big brother Li Litian nodded, calm and composed:
"What’s done is done, let’s think about what to do next and not let him lead us by the nose."
"Previously, it was because father valued him, so he was fearless. Now that father is dead, the reserves in the clan’s warehouse have already been mostly consumed due to the arena competition."
"When we head to the Holy City..."
Li Lihe quickly reacted, his expression changing slightly:
"Father must have left a backup plan. The secret resources stored in the Holy City under father’s name, the credentials and passwords should be in Elder Zhao’s hands."
Big brother Li Litian narrowed his eyes slightly, nodding slowly:
"Don’t panic, just by himself, he can’t pose much of a threat!"
"What’s more, now Lin Feng needs technicians from Nongzhuang Village. We can completely send Elder Zhao’s subordinates to report to Lin Feng. This way, more high-level members of the clan can escape from Oasis Town, break free from the fate of being teaching slaves, and head to the Holy City."
"Then, under the pretense of recuperation and motivation, distribute the collected Evolved Desolate Wolf carcasses to the members brought along."
"As long as we can stabilize the people below, even if Elder Zhao relies on something for support, by then, he will have to obediently use the family resources on our clansmen in the Holy City."
"Otherwise, this 150-person Evolver team won’t be so easy to handle."
"Just the daily food expenses are enough to give him a headache!"
"At that time, if he dares to embezzle, we can completely defect to Lin Feng and play the trick of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf!"
Li Lihe nodded, then thought of something, hesitated for a few seconds before saying:
"Big brother, can I take the quota with me..."
Before Li Lihe could finish, Li Litian directly rejected his request:
"Forget it, among the 700 or so Evolvers in the clan, apart from those in the later stages who can be exempted, the rest in the middle and early stages will be screened based on evolutionary potential. Those over 200 years old have to be abandoned."
"The opportunity should be left for the young people."
"Even our own relatives are no exception!"
Having said that, Li Litian patted his younger brother on the shoulder and then boarded his battle car.
As they returned to the garrison of Nongzhuang Village, on the other side, Lin Feng also arrived at the convoy camp outside Holy Spring Village.
Returning to his own forces, Lin Feng was finally able to temporarily drop his guard and take off the heavy Branded Armor he was wearing.
Made with Alloy Wolf Bone and Fine Steel Wolf Fang, the style of this armor dramatically changed. It was no longer as swift and agile as other Power Armors, instead, the increased weight made it somewhat clumsy.
But its destructive power far surpassed standard armor of the same level, and its defensive capability was also somewhat enhanced.
This Level 22 Branded Armor is comparable to a balance set between Rock Horse Armor and Power Armor, while in terms of lethality and combat power, it far exceeded both.
Given the current situation in Oasis Town, Lin Feng only felt safe venturing out with it on.
However, with all its attributes strengthened, the energy consumption also sharply increased. Every time a mission was completed, the first thing to do upon return was to recharge the high-density solid-state battery at the back of the armor.
Chen Shanshan took out fully charged spare batteries from the Desert Wolf Battle Car and replaced the ones in their armor.
Lin Feng then went with Ding Yi who had arrived, to patrol on the right side of the avenue.
Earlier, with a single furious roar from Wolf Ao, not only did the Desolate Wolf Army behind him launch an attack on Oasis Town, but even the Desert Wolf Race ambushed on the right side also took action. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The attack on this side, led by another offspring of Wolf Ao, a Tier Two Early-stage Desolate Wolf Beast, launched a fierce assault on Lin Feng’s convoy.
Mainly because the Holy Spring Village next to the convoy was too conspicuous, with its uniform white paint, traveling through the wasteland like a white pearl in river sand.
Thus, the defensive pressure on this side of the convoy was also the greatest.
Of course, as part of Lin Feng’s combat team, the firepower owned by Ah Lian, Ma Chenfeng, and others far exceeded other villages, easily repelling thousands of the Desolate Wolf Army.
But the convoy was not independent, instead, it was interdependent with the Holy Spring Village in front.
Moreover, according to the previous plan, it needed to go to Holy Spring Village for cooperative defense.
Therefore, the powerful firepower network could not be concentrated to repel the enemy kilometers away, and half had to be dispatched to assist Holy Spring Village.
However, the convoy was not without benefits.
Because in Holy Spring Village, apart from ordinary gun-wielding Enhanced People, all the rest were Tier One Combat Priests, very skilled in close combat.
With the combat team sharing the pressure, the Combat Priests would also come to the outer perimeter of the convoy, stationed at the outermost positions to protect the fire points on the vehicles behind, intercepting and slaying any endangered creatures that broke through the firepower net.
The two sides could complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses, enhancing the defense strength through cooperation.
So during this initial attack by the Wolf Race army, neither side suffered any damage, except for the ammunition consumed.
At this moment, the combat team members were driving battle cars, taking auxiliary personnel, heading out kilometers away to clean up the battlefield.
Some Combat Priests were also heading out, responsible for guarding various positions, conducting patrolling and vigilance to prevent another attack from the Desert Wolf, or some Evolved Desolate Wolves hidden in certain nooks and crannies.
Seeing this scene, Lin Feng told Ding Yi next to him:
"Let’s split the spoils evenly. The Tier Two Desolate Wolf Warriors stationed in Holy Spring Village also helped us a lot."
Don’t underestimate the convoy’s firepower, but indeed, there were no Tier Two Evolvers stationed in the camp during that battle just now.
It was also the only place in Oasis Town without a Tier Two guard.
Even the Fifth Village was guarded by Xu Wanfeng, the fully armed President of the Hunting Wilderness Guild, who had hurriedly returned just in time.
Indeed, before this arena competition began, the Church and Xu Wanfeng had discussed, and after the second match started, she would slip away directly.
She didn’t need to participate in the subsequent confrontations.
After all, neither the life-and-death battle between the Bishop and Li Family nor the successful lure of the Desert Wolf Race into the fight, were situations Xu Wanfeng could partake in.
Even though she could hold her own against other Tier Two Evolvers due to her strength...
But in a Tier Two Peak battle, she would hardly have the chance to act, much less survive an encounter with the Level 29 Wolf Ao.
So, before the arena competition began, she was the second to flee, after Su An and the Church convoy.
As for the logistics convoy sent by the Li Family, they returned safely to Oasis Town just before the Desolate Wolf Army attacked the settlement and quickly formed a defensive formation in Nongzhuang Village.
Luckily, before this, Ding Yi had already ordered Old Duncan to find Wang Chen from Farm Village who had just advanced to Late Tier One, to encourage Nongzhuang Village to prepare defenses.
At the same time, they laid bare their plans to the high ranking members of the Li Family, making them understand the severity of the current situation, and promptly mobilized for battle after stationing Li Mingquan and other high ranking members in the Tier Two Leaders of Mechanical Village, Nine-level Enhanced People.
Though they hadn’t had time to seek support from Ding Yi yet, the Li Family’s logistics and convoy team, along with the silhouette of the Desert Wolf Race army behind them, already appeared on the horizon.
Fortunately, before the arena competition began, Li Mingquan made an arms deal with Lin Feng, buying some portion of Evolved Desolate Wolf corpses, along with the Rock-Horned Horse breeding industry, which they sent to the rear of Holy Spring Village, to be handed over to Lin Feng’s convoy for safekeeping.
This was the only way to secure subsequent firepower support.
And the current situation for the Li Family was only going to get worse than for other allies, with no Tier Two Evolvers stationed, they were facing attacks from Tier Two Evolved Desolate Wolves.
If it weren’t for the Tier Two Grand Priest in Holy Spring Village before the arena competition began, perhaps the Desolate Wolf Beast on the right would have launched a sneak attack.
And after Lin Feng and others went hunting the Desolate Wolf Beasts, they would need the protection of the great priest from the convoy even more.
So sharing the spoils evenly is not an issue.
Just as Lin Feng was instructing Ding Yi, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
It was Wang Chen who arrived first and spoke anxiously:
"The Salvation Army has arrived, Lin Feng."
"They are just outside the right side of the mountains, blocked by over a thousand Evolved Desolate Wolves!"
