Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 672 - 322: Exposed, Escape, and the Manifestation of Tier Three Power (Part 2)

If something happens to Lin Feng, the Salvation Army will also be unable to escape Wolf Ao’s clutches, ultimately perishing in its bloody maw.

Therefore, with both sides clearly aware of this...

The battle, which was initially just a cover for retreat and pursuit, was instantly elevated to another level, especially as the top combatants, Wolf Ao and Bai Ye, began to erupt in a more intense fight.

So much so that their figures remained in the valley, turning into two afterimages, engaging in a peak duel at speeds approaching the limit of sound.

In this state, Lin Feng couldn’t even determine Wolf Ao’s landing point from a kilometer away, nor could he ensure that Bai Ye could react in time to avoid the fallout from the Thermite Annihilation Cannon.

Ultimately, Lin Feng could only stow away the Annihilation Cannon and instead dismantle the assembly synthesis early, using the damage of the Armor-Piercing Cannon and the strong firepower of the High-Explosive Rapid-Fire Cannon to suppress the Evolved Desolate Wolves harassing the Salvation Army convoy from both sides, enough to kill and clear them out.

Ensuring that the Salvation Army main force could quickly withdraw from this valley and catch up with the frontline combat squads frequently breaking through under the leadership of Xu Wanfeng.

The latter was leading the Salvation Army onto the road of hope toward the shortest path to Oasis Avenue.

As long as they entered Oasis Avenue, with an unobstructed view front and back, the reliance of the Wolf Race army on mountain cover would be significantly diminished.

At that time, even without cannon support from the Oasis Battleship, just the convoy from the Five Major Villages could swiftly come to the rescue.

The current biggest problem is the convoy’s speed, which is extremely slow.

Due to the narrow and steep path, especially a 100-meter high slope, the performance of the combat vehicles could barely climb it, and the heavy truck transporters could only be pushed up with the assistance of human Evolvers.

The overall speed is only about five kilometers per hour.

It would take over ten minutes to escape the mountains and reach Oasis Avenue.

Moreover, the constant harassment by nearby packs of Evolved Desolate Wolves would further slow down the speed.

However, with Bai Ye going all out and falling into a deadlock with Wolf Ao, Lin Feng had the capacity to support the convoy and Xu Wanfeng’s frontal path-clearing, gradually increasing the speed of the convoy.

And the other two early-stage Desolate Wolf Beasts, after suffering heavy damage and escaping from Lin Feng’s continuous attacks, have not shown signs of returning to the battlefield as of now.

The escape plan was proceeding as scheduled...

But Lin Feng did not relax his vigilance because of this.

While using dual-firearms to engage in long-range strikes on the Desert Wolf Race army on both sides and at the front and back, he was also ready to consume ten points of Life Value at any time to reassemble and synthesize the Level 27 Thermite Annihilation Cannon.

There was no choice, the pressure brought by Wolf Ao was too great, keeping Lin Feng’s nerves taut without a moment’s relaxation.

Moreover, the most important thing was that Lin Feng was very clear that Bai Ye did not have much confidence in being able to stall Wolf Ao for long.

After all, in terms of energy reserve and accumulation of crucial Tier Three Power, the latter far surpassed Bai Ye, who was human.

Even though it had been heavily injured once by Lin Feng before.

But once recovered, it is still that Tier Two Peak prehistoric giant beast it once was.

And Bai Ye was just a Tier Two Peak Evolver biased towards support, and she was female, physically slightly weaker than male counterparts of the same level.

After suppressing the Evolved Desolate Wolves’ onslaught, Lin Feng continued to provide supporting strikes with the Explosive High-speed Cannon, while using the Armor-Piercing Cannon to observe the real battlefield behind.

Through the telescopic sight lock, as well as the intelligent analysis of the Mark Armor Assistance Combat System, Lin Feng could very clearly observe the battlefield dynamics.

Mainly, the distance was far enough; the Salvation Army’s main force, which had moved several hundred meters, was one kilometer away from the original valley.

A broader field of vision allowed them to capture the two Tier Two Peak beings in a subsonic state.

At this moment, Bai Ye, in a pseudo-Tier Three state, was hovering in mid-air, engaging in genuine spatial flickering.

Only in this way could she effectively dodge Wolf Ao’s ambushes.

Meanwhile, in the intervals of dodging, she could counterattack Wolf Ao in mid-air.

Besides the liquid hydrogen bomb on her waist, Lin Feng saw an extremely incredible scene.

That was when Wolf Ao landed, Bai Ye, whose pupils emitted dazzling white light, suddenly reached out and grabbed, only to see the four limb paws of Wolf Ao landing as if suddenly squeezed by some invisible force, bent, and fractured.

At the same time, the flesh and blood of the paws became fragmented.

This bizarre twisting and squeezing continued to spread upward along Wolf Ao’s limbs.

Until finally, within a few seconds, the whole giant wolf seemed to have its paws chopped off instantly, leaving only its massive torso and wolf head to slam heavily to the ground.

But in the next moment, the prehistoric giant wolf, suffering such severe injuries, roared angrily, its eyes bursting with blood-red light, and the severed limb flesh quickly reattached or regrew in mere seconds.

In an extremely short time, the giant wolf, whose limbs had been crushed, miraculously returned to its original state, stood up again, and continued to attack Bai Ye without hesitation.

It was only then that Lin Feng realized Bai Ye’s strength, that this guy had been hiding her power all along.

From the underground shelter of the Taishan Ruins, to later fighting side by side with Lord Bishop, teaming up with the two strongest Evolvers in Oasis Town to counter the top combat power of the Desert Wolf Race...

During this, Bai Ye seemed always to participate as a rear auxiliary identity, never directly intervening in the fighting moments.

At most, using spatial superpowers for containment, creating opportunities for teammates’ attacks.

But at this moment, in Lin Feng’s eyes, the bizarre scene happening with Wolf Ao was something only Bai Ye could achieve.

Apart from this, there should be no other means capable of inflicting such grievous harm over a distance and without a trace on a Tier Two Peak giant beast.

Obviously, this ability is inextricably linked to Bai Ye’s spatial superpower.

Now it seems that the previous evasions were likely Bai Ye’s deliberate actions to create a perception of herself as not posing much of a threat in the eyes of the world.

This way, she could safely progress through the pre-Third Stage developmental phase, avoiding being targeted by higher-level entities or elite forces...

And the spatial superpower that Bai Ye was currently displaying probably involved not just spatial expansion and creation but also the direct manipulation of spatial shapes and densities.

The strange attack that Wolf Ao encountered was Bai Ye directly compressing and distorting the space of the beast’s limbs, possibly destroying it from the inside.

This means if someone is close enough to Bai Ye, as long as she has murderous intent, just one thought can crush the target’s brain or heart, killing without a sound.

Such an incredible ability could probably only be achieved by a Tier Three King.

And more astonishing to Lin Feng was that the prehistoric giant beast Wolf Ao, as Bai Ye’s opponent, could repair the fractured damage of its limbs within mere seconds.

As a Tier Two Life Form, even without using humans as a reference, no other Tier Two entities, like the early-stage Desolate Wolf Beasts or Rock Horse Giant Beasts, nor Desert Wolf Warriors, have ever shown such exaggerated self-healing capabilities.

It’s equivalent to having an arm severed, and then self-healing to its original state in a few seconds, comparable to the mythical immortality.

The life force of Tier Two Evolvers, no matter how vibrant or strong their self-healing abilities are, cannot reach such an extravagant extent, let alone sustaining injuries where all four limbs are shattered...

Ordinary Tier Two entities, even if treated promptly afterward and supplemented with energy and nutrition, would take at least several months to recover.

The ability displayed by Wolf Ao is, like Bai Ye, way beyond simple limb regeneration, akin to a low-grade version of Blood Rebirth!

Through the concerted battle of two Tier Two Peaks, Lin Feng glimpsed a part of the power of Tier Three existences...

At this moment, he had an unprecedented desire for advancing to the Third Stage.

Lin Feng also finally understood why current Third Stage Kings on the wasteland seldom act rashly.

To evolve to this extent, they’ve gradually moved beyond the scope of traditional life forms.

They can shake the earth with a mere stamp of a foot.

In the eyes of Evolvers, ordinary Enhanced People are of no consequence.

And beneath Tier Three, all beings are seen as ants...

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his gaze locked onto the breathtaking battle in the distance.

In his hands, the Armor-Piercing Cannon and High-Explosive Rapid-Fire Cannon unconsciously aligned together.

Ready to assemble and synthesize at any moment.

This was his only chance to repel the Tier Two Peak Wolf Ao!
