Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 674 - 323: Awakening, Wolf Race’s Past, Han Tao’s Defection (Part 2)

"At that time, Oasis Town will be right behind us, able to provide a lot of firepower support."

"Once both sides converge, there won’t be any need to worry about being surrounded by the Evolved Desolate Wolves, with the strong firepower of the Oasis Battleship, and the defensive line within Oasis Town, once we break through this mountainous region, and enter the plains..."

"Not only will the suppression firepower effect be greatly improved, but there will be support coming from deep within, that’s about to arrive!"

As he spoke, this aging logistics Evolver seemed to be cheering himself up, becoming resolute, believing that everyone could certainly escape the encirclement smoothly...

But he didn’t notice that at this moment, Han Tao, the Supreme Governor of Oasis Town and a Tier Two Evolver, after hearing what he said, was already having second thoughts.

Aside from the Evolver who had fought Wolf Ao before, no one in Oasis Town should be more aware of the formidable aspects of this ancient giant beast than Han Tao.

On one hand, being a Rock Horse Warrior, Han Tao had an instinctive fear of the Evolved Desolate Wolves; on the other hand, he had previously investigated the wolf race heritage site located in the Taishan Ruins within the internal research materials of the Life Farm.

Fallen Wolf Valley, as a sacred place for the wolf race, contains the most pure bloodline of the wolf race within.

Especially during the ancient era, the evolutionary wolf race carried a bloodline gene strength far beyond the currently evolved Desert Wolf Race.

The Desert Wolf Race belongs to a branch of the ancient wolf race.

Back in the day, under the leadership of Wolf King Ao, there existed at least five different wolf races, out of which the current Desert Wolf Race was the one most suited to the wasteland environment; the other four races gradually disappeared on the wasteland as their leaders perished.

Gradually dying out to extinction or merging into the Desert Wolf Race, no longer retaining independent bloodlines and ability heritage.

This made it difficult for the wolf race heritage, namely Wolf King Ao’s Tier Three body, to find the most suitable heir.

After all, as the sole King Beast of the wolf race, the Wolf King could absorb all the branches of the wolf race, representing a unified existence that collected all the genes.

Thus, its enormous gene pool could bear the immense Tier Three power.

And the Life Farm, through the study of the wolf race heritage and the investigation of wolf race traces, discovered that back then between the five wolf generals under the Wolf King, there broke out a fierce internal struggle over the heritage guardian ownership.

During this, many first-class forces were also involved, behind which were the shadows of several Tier Three Kings.

The final result was naturally the current heritage guardian Wolf Ao, who won and continued to exist to this day, becoming a living fossil on the wasteland.

But this ancient giant beast, its strength and state did not gradually weaken as time passed, like other Tier Two life forms...

Instead, by long-term absorption in the Wolf King’s Tomb, the Tier Three power inside the Wolf King’s Tier Three body strengthened increasingly.

As early as hundreds of years ago, the Life Farm dispatched an elite team in the late stage of Tier Two to engage Wolf Ao.

The latter’s strength had already accumulated to an unbelievable extent, becoming an existence second only to the Tier Three Kings.

Even many Tier Two peak powerhouses who had mastery of partial Tier Three power could merely confront Wolf Ao for a while, finding it difficult to exert suppression.

If the Tier Three Kings personally took the field, and seized the Tier Three heritage of the wolf race, it would tear the agreement between All Gods and Wolf King back then, and cause damage to the seals at the bottom of the refuge ruins.

Moreover, the Tier Three Kings worry about being contaminated by the evil god within the seal at the bottom of the ruins once they enter.

The pollution energy of the evil god can be isolated through protection for ordinary Evolvers, or at least be cleaned under the irradiation of the Scorching Sun.

But for Tier Three Kings, this chaotic gene pollution, like a festering sore, would breed continuously through the Tier Three power within their bodies.

Like a virus, relying on the Tier Three body as soil, it rapidly replicates and spreads.

For ordinary Evolvers, their bodies lack suitable soil for the pollution to grow; even if invaded, it merely draws life force from the surface like parasites.

Thus, even though All Gods have been silent for many years, the agreement back then is now only obeyed by top large forces, but none of the Tier Three Kings in other first-class forces would dare risk coming to seize the wolf race heritage.

Because once tainted by the virus-like pollution, it would take at least ten years for them to undergo deep isolation cleaning, during which they shouldn’t rashly use the Tier Three power within their bodies to avoid accelerating the pollution and assimilation spread.

Due to all of the above, the wolf race heritage in Fallen Wolf Valley, under the avoidance of Tier Three Kings, relying on Wolf Ao deemed invincible within the Second Stage, has safely endured thousands of years.

Later, the Life Farm once contacted Wolf Ao to discuss using Tier Two Evolutionary Meat, especially Rock Horse Giant Beast flesh, to exchange for high-tier wolf race bloodline genes...

Initially, Wolf Ao disagreed, but as the wild Rock-Horned Horse Herd on the wasteland became increasingly scarce, especially the Rock Horse Giant Beasts in the late middle stage of Tier Two, sometimes it was hard to find even one within thousands of miles.

And Wolf Ao spends most of his time each Wasteland Year guarding the Wolf King’s Tomb, only having less than a third of the two years available for hunting outside.

This led to Wolf Ao eventually giving in after hundreds of years of fruitless searches, agreeing to exchange a small amount of high-tier wolf race evolutionary meat for the large quantities of Rock Horse Giant Beast flesh provided by the Life Farm.
