Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 152: King Lu Behind Wandering Earth Shepherd's Method


Lin Feng turned around, staring straight at the sinister illusion of mental contamination gathering in the shadows behind him.

The monster wearing his own appearance gradually restrained its eerie smile, its laughter fell silent for a moment, as if intimidated by Lin Feng, it slowly spoke:

"We can cooperate."

Only then did Lin Feng respond:

"Are you the aberrant conglomeration of flesh at the base of the Feicheng Shelter ruins?"

The mental monster paused, nodded:

"That is indeed me, had it not been back then..."

"Speak human language!" Lin Feng interrupted again, directly cutting off its pretense, while his gaze shifted to where the corner of his eye could see, ready to press yes on the system's purge prompt.

Faintly sensing a deathly aura, the mental contamination monster approached constantly, inciting a strong sense of crisis in his consciousness, he shut his mouth quickly.

It looked at the man before it, not understanding why, despite having successfully parasitized, it couldn't continue its erosion within his consciousness even a step further.

It was as if there was an insurmountable high wall and huge gate blocking its advance.

To beguile the host it parasitized, and return to the ruins, it had to risk being killed by the Scorching Sun, releasing information and energy in the host's consciousness to forcibly manifest itself in the shadows.

Facing Lin Feng's threat at this moment, it reluctantly put away the noble identity of its main body, accompanied by isolation and arrogance, and turned to introduce its origin:

"I am the initial Tier Three King, and also was among the top tier Evolvers at that time. Before being sealed in the shelter, I had already reached Mid-Tier Three, ranking ninety-seventh globally."

Lin Feng squinted his eyes; he knew that the other party was likely the builder of the Taishan Shelter back then, and also the controller of this area.

As the strongest Tier Three King in Lu Province, naturally he was among the top tier Evolvers of that time.

But what Lin Feng did not expect was that even those who were in the top hundred globally in the Old Earth Era, would fall to such a state, becoming how they are today.

Clearly, this is not an issue that can be explained by choosing the wrong direction of evolution.

The mental monster with Lin Feng's appearance shrugged; although it couldn't continue to invade the host's thoughts after parasitizing, it could feel the other's emotional fluctuations and general thoughts.

For example, it had previously noticed that Lin Feng showed absolutely no fear or dread towards the contamination of the mind and its appearance, even expressing contempt and indifference.

This made the mental contamination monster feel a sense of loss and panic unprecedented, even once believing it had strayed onto a being of equal level, worrying about its main body being implicated, and becoming unsettled.

Now seeing Lin Feng slightly bewildered, the mental monster regaining initiative, nodded and smiled sinisterly as it continued:

"Feeling puzzled is normal, after all, I did not expect those people outside would be so sinister and unscrupulous, willing to collude with the Alien Race to put me to death..."

"In the Old Earth Era, my name was Zong Shiyue, the King of Lu Province at that time, and later the Lord of Mount Tai."

"It was I who saved the millions of survivors in Lu Province, allowing them to enter the shelter and escape the danger of extinction by the solar storm…"

Lin Feng squinted his eyes again, immediately interrupted:

"Do you know what happened back then?"

As someone among the top hundred humans globally during the earliest wave of evolution on Old Earth, they must have had a certain degree of understanding of the causes of that catastrophe.

Zong Shiyue nodded, with a complex expression as he spoke:

"The root cause of the catastrophe, Life Source Material, came from a meteor shower that fell into the ocean…"

"But what many do not know is that the Earth almost got destroyed once back then!"

"It narrowly missed a massive wandering celestial body, with various extraterrestrial fragments and remains scattering from the body, initially stirring up the global catastrophe frenzy as the Evolutionary Source Material, and the alien technology humans researched in the base."

"Later, they even used this to create the Planet Engine."

"From the start of evolution, to humans establishing defense bases everywhere, then actively reclaiming lost ground, compressing mutated beasts' living space, regaining the top of the Earth's food chain throne, it altogether took four years, but over sixty percent of the original population was lost, which was a heavy loss."

"Many tropical small countries rich in biological resources or isolated island nations, even directly fell to the impact of Beast Tides…"

"Those Tier Three Sea King Species, leading massive mutated sea beasts, stirring waves, rampaged into the coastal lands, sweeping hundreds of kilometers deep regions."

"Fortunately, after humankind's industry resumed operation, combined with the powerful Physique of the Evolvers, unleashed astonishing combat power."

"Primarily, since cities had already fallen, there was no burden using artillery coverage to clear low tier mutated beasts."

"And after humans restored order, new problems followed; during those years, the sunlight suddenly became weaker until viewing with the Wen Tian telescope, realizing a huge crisis was imminent…"

"This crisis is a hundred or a thousand times more severe than the so-called catastrophe frenzy, and it will sweep the globe, leaving life devastated."

Zong Shiyue took a deep breath as he said:

"This crisis is due to the mysterious celestial body that barely missed Earth, heading straight for the Sun!"

"Its size is a hundred times bigger than Earth, a high-density rocky planet that, once crashing into the Sun, would trigger an unprecedented solar storm sweeping the entire Solar System."

"As a member of the near-Earth planetary belt, Earth is very close to the Sun, and historically there have been solar storms causing massive extinction events…"
