"For instance, the Corruptor attack you encountered this time."

"As for the mutants long residing in the Fei City Ruins, even the Tier Three Mutant King, their strength is not much different from a Tier Two Late Stage Evolver."

"But in the tunnel of the negative fifth floor, most of the pollution that the mutants receive comes from the Desert Wolf genes, and among them, some contain the bloodline of the Wolf King..."

"Their strength is comparable to a true Tier Three King."

Speaking of this, Zheng Yan Ying took a deep breath and continued:

"Because the Taishan Ruins are located within the Church's jurisdiction, historically, many Church priests have come to investigate, hoping to uncover that buried history or to eliminate the curse within the ruins, but they all failed."

"So later it was also listed as one of the forbidden zones."

"And in the calculations of those senior scholars, the ruins of the Feicheng Shelter where we are now located, are very likely just the cafeteria of mutant beasts born from the Wolf King's Tomb within the Taishan Shelter."

"That is to say, those mutant beasts with wolf fangs and fur continue to prey on the mutants within the Fei City Ruins, replaying the cycle from thousands of years ago."

"It's obvious that for them, compared to mutants, fresh Tier Two Evolvers are clearly more delectable and have greater value as food..."

"Therefore, starting from the tunnel on the negative fifth floor, it is a forbidden zone that Tier Two Evolvers can never set foot in, as mutant beasts derived from the Desert Wolf have a sense of smell a million times more sensitive than that of mutants."

After hearing Zheng Yan Ying's introduction, Lin Feng furrowed his brows slightly, recalling a detail that Father Su An mentioned when he briefed him on the mission.

That detail was that before he became a priest, he visited the Taishan Ruins as an assistant priest, and the reason Tier Two Evolvers cannot enter is exactly as Zheng Yan Ying said.

More powerful mutant beasts of the Desert Wolf lurk within the tunnel on the negative fifth floor, lying in wait for Tier Two Evolvers to come and gather supplies, thus meeting their end there.

After contemplating for a few seconds, Lin Feng slowly spoke:

"In other words, if we want to enter the tunnel on the negative fifth floor, it would solely depend on you and a few others, including Chen Shanshan; do you have the confidence with your strength..."

Zheng Yan Ying sighed softly, realizing that along the way there had been too many unexpected events, causing butterfly effects that led the original plan to deteriorate in unpredictable directions.

Thinking for a moment, she shook her head and replied:

"Without the Salvation Army and without the mutant uprising, the mutant beasts inside the tunnel on the negative fifth floor should currently be in a dormant state to deal with the impending Scorching Sun."

"But now with the Salvation Army's blast and mutants running rampant, it's very likely that many dormant mutant beasts have already been awakened."

"Although the chances of encountering them inside the negative fifth floor are not high, once entering the tunnel, there is a significant chance of encountering the awakened mutants."

"With my current strength, I can at best handle an Early Tier Two mutant beast, and only one, Chen Shanshan counts as another. As for the combat capability of others..."

Before Zheng Yan Ying could finish, Lin Feng noticed the reluctance among the group looking at each other, realizing the core of the issue here.

However, given the current situation, they could only take one step at a time, not knowing what unforeseen circumstances they might encounter next.

"First, search floors negative four, five, and six; if there's absolutely no luck, I'll find another way. After upgrading, my combat power has significantly increased, allowing me now to easily handle a Tier Three Mutant King, and face Tier Three mutant beasts with some confidence."

Lin Feng glanced at the reminder out of the corner of his eye and continued:

"Collect all the Desert Wolf Source Material of Tier One, and as for Tier Two, I will discuss it with the Salvation Army when the time comes."

Zheng Yan Ying nodded without saying more.

Now that Lin Feng has advanced to Tier Two, he indeed has the equal qualifications to negotiate terms with the other party, such as requesting a few Tier One Late Stage squad leaders from the Salvation Army to assist in exploring the tunnel on the negative fifth floor.

After discussing the subsequent plan, Lin Feng let everyone disperse, urging them to rest up.

The upcoming tasks on the fourth day would be even more demanding.

After everyone returned to the vehicle, Lin Feng also returned to the Rock Horse Battle Car to inspect the upgraded cannons.

With the enhancement and boost from the Power of Branding, the speed of equipment upgrades accelerated significantly.

In just over ten minutes, it transformed at Level 20, becoming a Big Killer of Orange Quality.

Lin Feng first picked up the Armor-Piercing Cannon, noting additional changes to its appearance; although it still retained the revolver drum magazine, its size surpassed Lin Feng's knee, with a diameter a full thirty centimeters thick.

The entire firearm reached a length of ninety centimeters, nearly a meter, with the barrel fifteen centimeters thick and an inner diameter of twelve centimeters, likely capable of firing 120mm shells!

Though its power is self-evident, Lin Feng was more concerned with its attribute functionality changes:

"Armor-Piercing Cannon Level 20, Orange Quality, Brand"

"Basic Attributes: Damage 200, Effective Range 3 kilometers, Area Damage Coverage 15 meters, Remaining Tungsten Core Armor-Piercing Cannon 50; Upgraded to Host Level Limit"

"Extra Attributes: Ammo Recovery 1/1 hour; Space Magazine 50 rounds; Area Damage (cover radius 15 meters, center 3 meters Damage 200); Fire Coverage (six rounds in one second, sustained for five seconds); Armor-Piercing Shell (Armor-Piercing ability enhanced by 100%, Damage +50)"

"Note: Can freely switch back to Level 19 Armor-Piercing Cannon, or Level 9 Precision Pistol"

"Evaluation: Level 20 Armor-Piercing Cannon of the Orange Level, with an impressive hit damage of up to 250, comparable in power to a 122mm Grenade Cannon; under fire coverage damage, one Armor-Piercing Cannon equates to approximately six previous Armor-Piercing Cannons, capable of posing a life threat to any unarmored flesh; although the ammo is limited, it's extremely handy; it remains to be seen whether the nearby environment or structures can withstand the terrifying power of the Armor-Piercing Cannon!"
