Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 647 - 310: Bai Ye’s Legend, Antigravity, and Takeover

Upon hearing the words "Salvation Army," everyone present except for Lord Bishop and Father Su An displayed expressions of astonishment.

It’s known that although the Salvation Army are wanderers, their reputation far exceeds other second-tier influences. In addition to having a Level 29 leader, their origins trace back to the first-tier force from hundreds of years ago, the City of Salvation.

This marks a rare record in the past five hundred years of a Tier Three King falling.

As for the specific details, only members of the Church and Xu Wanfeng of the Hunting Wilderness Guild knew them well, while Lin Feng and Han Tao only had a general understanding.

After the fall of the City of Salvation, Bai Ye, as the survivor of this catastrophe, went into a century-long dormant standby phase, waiting for the storm and aftershocks to dissipate, before daring to lead other remnants to form a force named the Salvation Army.

Subsequently, they committed acts of plundering across the wasteland, leading to a warrant being issued by the Holy See and becoming wanderers.

However, the Salvation Army always acted low-key and rarely had direct confrontations with the forces directly under the Church...

Thus, the wanted level wasn’t high, and the reward was mediocre, making it less cost-effective to specifically capture them.

Moreover, the abilities of their leader Bai Ye are rather legendary. It is very challenging for an ordinary Level 29 Evolver to defeat Bai Ye, let alone kill or capture her.

The significant reaction from everyone mainly arises from the fact that in the past century, Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army, caused a major commotion near Storm Holy City to which Oasis Town belongs.

At that time, a large trading event was held in the gang district of small and medium-sized settlements in the Holy City, jointly organized by several top-tier gangs each with tens of thousands of members.

The core of the event was an auction selling second-stage evolutionary resources.

Due to the scarcity of Tier Two evolutionary resources, especially from Mid-Tier Two to Late Tier Two, these resources were always in demand but rarely available, even among large first-tier forces like the Hunting Wilderness Guild or the Life Farm in large settlements.

Most of these resources had already been internally consumed.

Therefore, such auctions were only held to facilitate the circulation of advanced evolutionary resources, building a fair and just exchange platform for all sides.

Otherwise, private transactions would struggle due to lack of information and news, and more importantly, both buyers and sellers would fear the risk of being double-crossed.

The state of having demand without availability also meant that evolutionary resources could not be sold at prices that reflected their true value.

A grand auction gathered all qualified buyers from nearby, and those in need could offer the most reasonable prices.

To ensure the security of the auction, the leaders of the major gangs personally oversaw the event, even inviting many Tier Two Three-star Hunters.

There were no fewer than twenty Late Tier Two existences maintaining order throughout the venue.

The leaders of the three major gangs were all Level 29 Tier Two Peak powerhouses.

The event also drew the attention of kings from large internal settlements because some of the finale auction items involved Tier Three grade levels...

Even Early Tier Three Kings could find certain uses for them.

However, this heavily secured auction event encountered an unexpected turn, disgracing the three major gangs.

The unexpected event occurred with the three finale auction items.

The second item was a mysterious black box containing a small amount of Tier Three Origin.

The Tier Three radiation energy released from it could counteract gravity present in the surrounding space.

In other words, possessing this black box would allow someone not to be restrained by gravity, enabling them to leap several kilometers effortlessly.

If placed on a vehicle, once freed from gravity, the vehicle merely needed to overcome ground friction to traverse the wasteland at will. If speed increased further, it could even become a ground-effect vehicle, flying at low altitude and high speed.

For some heavy equipment, using the black box would allow easy operation and reduced energy consumption.

The only drawback was its effective range being about twenty square meters, equivalent to a five-by-five meter area, the size of a room or a small transport vehicle.

It couldn’t be used for heavy transport vehicles or mobile bases.

Because its origin and components were unknown, and the stored Origin inside was extremely limited, it required continuous Tier Two Life Source Material injections to offset its decay and maintain its anti-gravity effects.

Thus, it was not particularly prominent among the finale items.

But such a magical ability surely originated from a mysterious Tier Three King existence. Even without much practical value, its research value was considerable.

Furthermore, as an Origin Material, despite its limited quantity, it still qualified to appear as a finale piece.

However, just as this mysterious black box was being displayed in a small lead box, showing its marvel to the crowd...

An unexpected event suddenly occurred!

A mysterious buyer wearing a hood among the hundreds of Tier Two beings at the auction, suddenly disappeared in a flash.

In the next instant, their ghostly figure flitted across the stage, and then both they and the black box disappeared without a trace.

The entire auction venue descended into chaos.

Following this, the three gang leaders utilized some special means to lock onto the black box’s location, pursuing it outside the city...

But in the end, they only managed to uncover the thief’s true identity, which turned out to be the Salvation Army’s leader, the Queen of the Skies, Bai Ye.

And she successfully escaped despite the joint pursuit of three Level 29 Peak existences.
