Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 677 - 324: Burst Potion, Turning the Tables

Moreover, the most crucial thing at this moment is that one of the three-headed Desolate Wolf Beasts is dead with two injured, leaving only the Giant Beast Wolf Ao entangled with Spirit behind to pose any threat to Han Tao.

For the Tier Two Peak being, killing an Early-stage Rock Horse Warrior is as easy as lifting a finger. It could be done effortlessly during the annihilation of the Salvation Army and the battle at Oasis Town, but there’s no need to pursue specifically.

After all, it’s like picking up sesame seeds and dropping a watermelon. Even if Oasis Town is besieged for a long time, the value brought by the hundreds of Evolvers from the Salvation Army, along with Mid-Tier Two Xu Wanfeng and Lin Feng, far exceeds that of a mere ordinary Early-stage Rock Horse Warrior.

At this moment, Han Tao could feel his body repairing at an accelerated pace under the hormonal stimulation of the Burst Potion, as his internal cells and flesh started healing his injuries. Meanwhile, the momentum he exuded rose from a previously weak Tier Two Early-stage to the upper limit of the early stage and finally broke through to the mid-stage level.

However, the cautious Han Tao immediately restrained his aura during the initial phase of release, preventing the expanding momentum from dissipating.

An Early-stage Rock Horse Warrior might not be enough to make Wolf Ao abandon the resources of the Salvation Army and Oasis Town, but a Mid-Tier Two Rock Horse Warrior could enable a Desolate Wolf Beast raised by Wolf Ao to break its limit to become a mid-stage existence.

This lays the foundation for inheriting the Wolf King’s legacy and becoming the new Tier Three Wolf King.

This is probably also the primary goal of Wolf Ao’s attack on Oasis Town because of Li Family Patriarch Li Hao’s existence. The Level 26 Rock-Horned Horse Evolutionary Meat in his body could propel multiple Desolate Wolf Beasts to ascend to Mid-Tier Two.

After injecting the Burst Potion, Han Tao repaired and healed all his injuries in just a few dozen seconds, standing up immediately.

The auxiliary personnel of the Salvation Army on both sides of him cast their eyes full of admiration.

After all, as a Tier Two Evolver, not only does he possess such a strong recovery ability, but he also intends to stand up and continue fighting despite his injuries.

This spirit is worthy of respect.

However, they were naturally unaware of the true thoughts within the heart of the Rock Horse Warrior before them, which was actually to slip away as soon as possible.

After all, according to Lord Bishop’s words, even if Oasis Town managed to escape the Desert Wolf Race’s attack, it would soon be taken over by the Holy City.

Now that Li Hao’s power seizure action has declared failure and he himself is dead, there is nothing left in Oasis Town that holds Han Tao there, aside from Lin Feng and the corpse of Li Hao in his hands.

The unfortunate thing is, it seems Lin Feng is not someone easy to get along with, nor is he easily fooled by casual words.

Rather than staying to face an uncertain fate together with the people of Oasis, it is better to slip away sooner and return to report to the Life Farm branch in the Holy City.

If he encounters personnel from the farm along the way, he might be able to join forces and look for another opportunity.

In any case, before Lin Feng and others harbor dubious intentions...

And behind, the Desert Wolf Race watches covetously...

Absolutely not a place for a Rock Horse Warrior to stay for long!

Faced with the gaze from the logistics personnel of the Salvation Army, Han Tao, who had already prepared to flee, opened the pleated blinds of the car window, and after examining the external situation and terrain clearly, nodded slowly and said:

"The Wolf Race army advances with menacing momentum, especially the attack on the right side of the convoy. Many Evolved Desolate Wolves take advantage of the slope and manage to engage in close combat..."

"In such a situation, even Leader Lin cannot provide safe and stable artillery support. I still have some strength left to fight, so I’ll go over to assist a bit."

The two logistics personnel exchanged glances, then were overjoyed and quickly agreed, "Thank you, Lord Governor!"

"With your intervention, we are sure to greatly reduce casualties and help everyone escape the chase successfully!"

Han Tao nodded with a feigned depth, then opened the side door of the carriage and ran straight toward the right side of the convoy.

He seized the timing just right; the convoy was traversing a low slope, less than a hundred meters, and they were at a bend, making it hard for Wolf Ao behind to notice.

Moreover, in the vicinity, he did not feel the threat of any other Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beast’s aura.

Even the Leader-level Giant Wolves at the Late Tier One had suffered over half their deaths and injuries from Lin Feng’s artillery strikes and the Salvation Army’s skirmishes. At this point, the giants in good condition heeded Wolf Ao’s orders, were gathering at the very front of the convoy, blocking the breakout squad led by Xu Wanfeng.

Thus, nearby Leader-level Giant Wolves were exceedingly rare, with only a dozen or so in total on the right side, more than half of them already gravely injured by Lin Feng’s artillery and retreating behind the slope, struggling to breathe, with no fighting power left.

This was the best opportunity for Han Tao to escape while Wolf Ao was still entangled by Spirit.

As for choosing to break out from the right side, it was mainly because the Desert Wolf Race numbers were the fewest here, unlike the left side, which had already gathered a large number of Evolved Desolate Wolves to cut off the Salvation Army’s path into Oasis Avenue.

He saw his armored form dash out of the transporter in less than half a second, reaching the right side of the convoy and charging toward the external battlefield vehicles.

Han Tao raised his sandbag-sized fist and aimed it at a Mid-Tier One Desolate Wolf that was tearing at the armor of a battle vehicle, smashing it fiercely.

The power boost from the Burst Potion allowed Han Tao to easily erupt with over thirty tons of force, instantly shattering the wolf head of this Desolate Wolf, turning it into a burst of blood mist.

The wolf’s body also flew backward tens of meters before crashing onto the rocky slope in a shattered state.

But Han Tao didn’t stop. After easily dealing with the obstacle in his path, he continued to charge forward without pause, directly leaving the defensive position at the convoy’s edge.

The urgency was not only because timing was fleeting, but he also felt a prying gaze directed at him from not far away.

The stare pointed his way, was from Lin Feng, lying atop the cargo hold of the Salvation Army’s heavy truck transporter, gripping two types of firearms.

And the high-explosive rapid-fire cannon in his hand, used to support him, was instinctively aimed past when the unknown figure appeared suddenly.

The pitch-black muzzle, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, only needed a slight trigger pull to crazily reap lives.

Having already been shelled once, Han Tao was particularly sensitive and terrified by this sense of being targeted and naturally didn’t want to linger even half a second longer than necessary.

As he dashed away at high speed, Lin Feng had already recognized the familiar figure.

Although the power armor was already in tatters, at this point in the Salvation Army, only Han Tao was wearing this set, still emanating the aura of a Tier Two Evolver.

The only thing surprising Lin Feng...

Was that Han Tao, who had woken up from a coma, accidentally exuded Tier Two Mid-stage momentum from within the armor.

During his rush up the slope, several Leader-level Giant Wolves at Late Tier One instinctively chose to avoid him, also confirming Lin Feng’s perception wasn’t wrong.

That Han Tao, even while severely injured, could break through to a higher level, was evidently not in line with common sense.

Unless he carried all his possessions with him, including perhaps seven or eight Tier Two Evolution Agents and a great deal of Tier Two Evolutionary Dried Meat in the power armor...

But given the time, it simply wasn’t enough.

From Han Tao’s coma to now, less than twenty minutes had passed, completely insufficient for the leap from Level 21 to Mid-Tier Two.

Thinking about it, Lin Feng finally discerned a hint from the vanishing figure of Han Tao.

Though his speed reached 200 meters per second during his breakout escape, in just half a second he crossed the wolf pack and scaled the hundred-meter slope.

The aura he exuded flickered uncertainly. The moment Lin Feng locked onto him, Han Tao, out of instinctive fear, momentarily had his momentum fall back to Tier Two Early-stage...

This immediately reminded Lin of a possibility.

That being Han Tao, as a Rock Horse Warrior and also the Life Farm’s spy sent to Oasis, surely like Li Hao, had Ascension Potion.

If using the Ascension Potion, it could indeed burst out intense combat strength, even rivaling Late Level Two.

However, the cost of using the Ascension Potion is not insignificant.

Despite capable of short-term limit strength bursts and even level breakthrough, losing its efficacy results in high mortality rate side effects.

Han Tao would rather bear such risks, daring to risk escape from this place...

Evidently out of either fear of the Annihilation Cannon or scared witless by the fierce battle with Wolf Ao behind...

Thinking of this, Lin Feng’s lips curled into a slight smile.

He was worried about not having anything to distract Wolf Ao’s attention.

Who knew someone would deliver it themselves.
