Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 158: The Power of Power Armor Departure and Protection Fee_2


Lin Feng grunted in response.

This time, challenging the Tier Two Corpse Wolf inside the tunnel was faced with the strongest enemy since he left Wild Rift, even several times more dangerous than the Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse he faced before.

Power armor plus two firearms made up Lin Feng's strongest equipment setup.

"I'm also planning to wear power armor, but forget the Titanium Gun. You should hold it on the surface to deter those Wanderers."

"Don't worry, we'll be done in an hour or two at most. You have to lead the two of them to guard the camp well."

"Besides, our mission is completed ahead of time, and the Salvation Army also plans to withdraw directly. The remaining Wanderers will scavenge for some leftovers, keep an eye on them."

After speaking, Lin Feng donned the power armor and activated the combat assist mode, directly scanning and locking onto the targets on site.

The display screen in front also popped up a reminder, asking whether to scan the data of the two firearms at his waist and build an integrated combat platform for the data.

"Goodness, it was truly something back in the day!"

Lin Feng expressed emotion, feeling as if he had entered a sci-fi scene from a game, starting the mecha.

The exoskeleton power armor, as a basic universal model, could adapt to multiple weapons, not only providing a powerful defense enhancement and attribute boost effect but also integrating information from various equipment and weapon models.

At the same time, it scanned and read the concentration of Source Material within Lin Feng's body, recording the wearer's Evolution Level, evaluating physical strength and mental state, and displaying the results.

Thus, establishing a comprehensive information integration platform.

For example, now it included the two weapons Lin Feng was carrying, their usage status, and ammunition reserves, among others.

All factors that affect combat were fully digitalized and presented in the visor display, greatly enhancing the wearer's situational awareness in battle.

With the armor's multiple cameras and different types of sensor components integrated and summarized on the screen in front of him, Lin Feng gained a 360-degree view along with warnings for various moving objects.

In other words, wearing this armor was equivalent to gaining an all-around enhancement, allowing Level 20 Lin Feng to possess Level 21 or 22 over-level strength.

And in actual combat, after the system was automatically accessed in combat mode, he directly gained the most abundant experience, becoming a battle-hardened warrior.

Equivalent to the system taking charge to fight on his behalf.

No wonder it was sold for more than twenty thousand points...

Aside from the endurance issue, this set of exoskeleton power armor was almost flawless.

But the biggest problem was also endurance.

Under normal circumstances, it had only an hour and a half of combat time, and furthermore, it had two modes:

Disregarding the low power hibernation state, one was the normal mode, suitable for direct combat, but unable to sustain long-term accelerated running.

The other was the movement mode, a high-performance combat state, where the original power +20% and speed +50% effects doubled to power +50% and speed +100%!

In movement mode, Lin Feng could temporarily gain the high speed of a Tier Two Mid-Stage, exceeding two hundred meters per second, and his Perception would also be similar to a Tier Two Mid-Stage with the combat system's assistance.

This gave Lin Feng the confidence to face a Mid-stage Being of Tier Two directly. As for the shortfall in power, it could be compensated for with the extremely powerful firearms in his hands.

Even after the assembly synthesis of the Armor-Piercing Cannon and Armor-Piercing Cannon, he could directly seriously damage a fully armed Tier Two Mid-stage Evolver.

Dealing with Evolutionary Desolate Beasts without armor, especially the Wolf Race with low defense and flesh and blood, shouldn't even mention a Tier Two Mid-Stage, even a Late Tier Two can easily be taken down—one shot, one kill.

As long as he avoids their swift attacks, Lin Feng can rely on the Synthetic Cannon to remain undefeated.

But the outcome of high-speed movement mode is a threefold increase in power consumption. The original ten batteries could sustain about an hour and a half, but under the movement mode state, it was compressed directly to less than half an hour.

A mere eighteen hundred seconds, truly a race against time.

Moreover, once activated, enemies can completely avoid fighting after realizing and draw out the engagement, consuming your endurance time.

Or they can continuously harass you, forcing you to maintain a constant state of alert.

Therefore, timing the activation of different modes is particularly important.

However, for Lin Feng, these issues were not problems; the greatest shortcoming for other Evolvers was the limited attack range, their hands were too short, but with Lin Feng's long-range firepower compensation, he just needed to ensure he wasn't injured.

And after Chen Shanshan's previous use, the power armor had already consumed the storage power of four high-energy batteries. Subsequently, each battery needed to be recharged for several hours.

Fortunately, they came with five batteries at the time of purchase. Previously, after killing an Armored Corruptor, they had scavenged nine batteries from a Guild One-star Hunter, and after Lin Feng upgraded and repaired them, they were successfully restored to use, fully charged for a total of fourteen batteries.

Exactly meeting the standard reserve of ten batteries.

"Half an hour... is enough!"

Lin Feng planned in his mind, in high-tier combat life and death victory is often in an instant, as long as you grasp a single gap in the opponent's movement, you could severely damage them instantly.

Especially for humans and wolves like these Hunters, who choose high attack and low defense mode in their evolution direction, causing a very low margin of error in battles.

But humans can use technological power, adding armor and enhancing firepower, to make up for this shortfall.

Whereas Desert Wolves can only continually optimize and enhance their iron claws and steel teeth for breaking prey's defense, thus over time, the gap between the two sides grew larger and larger…

The Wolf Race risked extinction.

Because ecological equivalence competition often intensifies as environmental resources continue to deteriorate.

Both parties regard the other as an enemy.

In contrast, the Rock-Horned Horse as prey can instead extend the survival of the species because they become a source of food that predators consciously protect to prevent their numbers from sharply decreasing in a short time, causing an ecological collapse.

After realizing this, the Old Wolf King would use his life and family to actively lower the Wolf Race's ecological position, avoiding competition with humans, in order to prolong the race.

And after the Wolf King's Tomb was sheltered by All Gods, although it has long lacked a suitable heir, in case of need, a new Wolf King can still be quickly cultivated.

As for now, it's estimated that the Wolf King's intention is also to select the strongest successor in terms of bloodline and ability to lead the Wolf Race back to prosperity.

But dragging it out until now, it's inevitable that someone with ill intentions would target it...

Especially those with capability and ambition.

Like Lin Feng.

After becoming familiar with the power armor, Lin Feng then arranged for Chen Shanshan to stand guard at the entrance and then ventured alone into the ruins.

At this time, the Salvation Army had long dismantled the reflector devices on the first and second basement levels and left Feicheng Shelter.

Accompanying the convoy were dozens of vehicles, including seven or eight heavy trucks and over a dozen buses, moving grandly towards Oasis Avenue in the southwest direction.

And the Wanderers who had gathered outside before also entered the ruins, starting to pick up some "leftovers."

Despite appearances, there might not be much left in the ruins, but to many dirt-poor Wanderers, even a piece of scrap metal holds value. Each discarded household item or glass construction material, while overlooked by the Salvation Army, has its own use.

Though the pollution and the aftermath of poison gas on the first and second basement levels had been entirely neutralized by sunlight, some scavengers wandered without sealed protective clothing, wearing only respirators without much issue.

Since the pollution and poisonous gas on the first and second basement levels had not been thoroughly cleaned, Lin Feng didn't pay much attention to them because they wouldn't affect the sweep of the tunnel wolf's den.

When they noticed a fully-armored Chen Shanshan standing guard at the entrance, the wanderers looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

"Could this guy be planning to collect a protection fee?"

"Don't act stupid. He sure looks like he can."

"What else do we have left to squeeze?"

"But I heard he had just stepped into Late Tier One when he got here. Lord Bai invested heavily, allowing him to advance all the way to a Tier Two Powerhouse!"

"Then perhaps we should grit our teeth and search more to recoup our losses?"

"Half an hour... will be enough!"
