Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 655 - 314: Trapped in the Valley, Fierce Battle, and Rescue Strategy

The three of them transformed into a stream of light, moving swiftly among the mountains.

Due to their high speed, coupled with Lin Feng leading the way and using the piles of boulders along the path for cover each time they landed, hiding their figures behind the stone piles, they left little trace along the way.

The three moved with one in front and two behind, rapidly closing in on the source of the commotion.

The Desert Wolf Packs encountered along the way mostly squatted in fixed positions behind the mountain tops, used to monitor Oasis Town from three to four kilometers away.

Lin Feng and the others were not driving combat vehicles, so they were not detected by the wolf packs.

Besides, the Wolf Race army had just experienced a rapid assault over ten kilometers back and forth, encountering fierce human artillery blockade.

Although only a few Evolved Desolate Wolves perished, the shrapnel from grenades caused a certain extent of superficial injuries to almost all the Evolved Desolate Wolves participating in the charge.

Some were in worse condition, with a dozen metal fragments embedded in their skulls; even if their iron-hard skulls weren’t pierced, it was uncomfortable and they needed to be removed promptly to recover.

So at this moment, the Wolf Race army, which sounded the retreat, except for a few scouts on the mountain tops responsible for vigilance, the main force behind the slope had mostly fallen into a rest.

Seizing the time to rest was essential to recover strength and prepare thoroughly for the impending real battle.

Thus, most of these wolf packs gathered in the shadows behind boulder piles or hidden caves, avoiding the scorching sunlight’s exposure.

This left Lin Feng and the others with ample defensive gaps to move between the valleys.

With the help of the Power Armor’s intelligent auxiliary system, they planned the safest route forward, and the three quickly arrived at the place where the sounds emanated from.

Located behind the mountains to the right, in a canyon area surrounded by mountains on three sides, with two routes leading to the outside world on the left and right.

But both routes happened to go forward or to the right, with none going backward or to the left.

This also meant the main force of the Salvation Army couldn’t use flat paths to enter Oasis Avenue or flee in reverse towards the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area to join the reinforcements from Oasis Town.

It seems that the site of this unique terrain was also carefully considered by the high-level members of the Wolf Race.

Even if the Salvation Army wanted to rebel, they could only go forward or right, which in the end would only lead them back to the Wasteland.

Without support from Oasis Town, apart from the leader Bai Ye, the ordinary Human Evolvers driving combat vehicles or heavy trucks could hardly escape the encirclement and interception of the Wolf Race army.

The Salvation Army is itself just a small group of hundreds, where, apart from having slightly higher-quality members, most are only Tier One Middle and Early Stage Evolvers, and the remaining equipment is actually far inferior to that of the permanent residents of Oasis Town.

Especially in terms of weaponry, even if they obtained machine tools and ammunition production lines from the Taishan Ruins, they could at most arm themselves with basic large-caliber firearms, which are still manageable against ordinary Early-stage evolutionary forms but not much use against mid-stage or Leader Level Late Stage Giant Beasts.

In terms of both numbers and firepower intensity, the Salvation Army cannot compare with Oasis Town. If the Desert Wolf Race wants to annihilate the main force and logistics team of the Salvation Army, led by Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beasts, it would be effortlessly achieved.

Therefore, this breakout battle now, even though the leader of the Salvation Army, Bai Ye, has returned to the team and can protect her convoy, the fierce fighting on the field remains highly stalemate.

After a prolonged battle, the forces are evenly matched, and the convoy still cannot shake off the encirclement and blockade of the Desert Wolf Race.

The Wolf Race frequently uses the advantage of terrain to harass, repeatedly creating breaches in the outermost defense formation of the Salvation Army, while the fighters on the front line are continuing to suffer casualties in this high-intensity battle.

As the backbone, the leader Bai Ye is at this moment engaged in a struggle against two Tier Two Early-stage Desolate Wolf Beasts to hold back the advanced forces of the Desert Wolf Race.

Nearby are also a group of over twenty Leader-level Giant Wolves, waiting for opportunities to launch surprise attacks.

Although Bai Ye can easily slaughter them, she cannot withstand the sheer number of Giant Wolves. Any slight mistake in action would certainly allow the Desolate Wolf Beast in front to seize the opportunity, putting her in danger.

In fact, if it weren’t for covering the main force’s retreat, Bai Ye could easily suppress the two early-stage Giant Beasts; even if there were more Leader-level Giant Wolves, they would find it hard to approach her by a fraction.

But right now, for the sake of the convoy, to preserve the spark of hope as much as possible, and the accumulated resources of the convoy, including heavy truck transporters and loaded vehicle tools like machines...

Bai Ye has to allocate at least half of her energy, and the limited Power of Space remaining in her body, to assist the fighters in resisting the wolf pack’s slaughter.

Seeing this scene, the three of them instantly understood the current predicament of the Salvation Army.

Without external support, Bai Ye might be dragged down by the convoy under her command; while there wouldn’t be any life-threatening danger, she wouldn’t be able to rescue too many team members either.

As things stand, only by entering the fray quickly can they break the embarrassing situation of the Salvation Army retreating step by step, being drained by the Wolf Race army.

Therefore, Xu Wanfeng, one of the three, immediately rose to rush to the battlefield, wanting to assist Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army, by sharing the attack of one Desolate Wolf Beast.

However, just as she was about to get up, she was forcibly pulled down by Lin Feng.

At this moment, the three of them were lying in front of a rock at the mountain top, barely covering their figures. If they recklessly stood up, they would easily be spotted by the Wolf Race scouts on the mountain tops on either side or opposing them.
