As Lin Feng shouted out his inquiry, many heads popped out from nearly a hundred dilapidated vehicles in the area.

The wanderers looked at each other, and after several seconds, a Tier One Mid-Stage Evolver stepped forward, raised his hand, and said:

"It's mine."

Lin Feng lowered the shell casing he held and glanced at him, and the latter immediately understood and approached.

He stopped ten meters in front of Lin Feng, removed the hood from his head, and revealed his face.

He was a scruffy, unkempt middle-aged man.

The typical appearance of most wanderers.

They have been wandering in the wasteland for years, barely managing to solve water problems, their situation slightly better than deserters on the outskirts of Oasis Town, and probably find it hard to take a bath for years.

The middle-aged man introduced himself with slight excitement:

"Reporting to you, I presented this."

"My name is Ma Chenfeng, a Tier One Mid-Stage Evolver, and I'm also the leader of a convoy."

Lin Feng nodded:

"Come along and follow."

After saying this, he put away the shell casing in his hand, pulled a series of carts behind him, and together with Chen Shanshan headed toward a nearby camp.

Only the camp with the Rock Horse Battle Car and transport vehicles remained, and upon seeing this, Ah Lian brought Liu Mingfei, started the vehicles, and came to meet them.

Ma Chenfeng, called by Lin Feng, smartly stepped forward to lend a hand from behind, and both sides quickly gathered.

As Chen Shanshan and others carried the spoils, Lin Feng called aside Ma Chenfeng and took out the shell casing from his pocket:

"Introduce yourself first, in detail."

Ma Chenfeng was taken aback, as the opening and introduction he had been pondering over during the journey were held back by force. He hadn't expected the first thing the newly advanced Tier Two lord would ask would be this.

And the reason Lin Feng asked to investigate the other's background was simple enough, just to prevent boasting and lying later when recounting the shell casing's origins.

Although Ma Chenfeng was an old hand crawling on the wasteland for years, it was his first time facing a Tier Two Evolver alone, and under the oppressive atmosphere of the other's powerful presence, he quickly organized his language and began his introduction:

"I awoke in the wasteland over thirty years ago, originating from a medium-sized settlement up north, known as Ben Niu Town."

"Due to its extremely remote location, the settlement's power was mostly controlled by the local major tribes; even the Church and Hunting Wilderness Guild could barely gain a foothold even if teamed up."

"Equivalent to an autonomous enclave, although Ben Niu Town is nominally loyal to the Holy Spring Sect, it is actually in a state of autonomy, only needing to timely pay some specialty supplies required by the Holy Spring Sect to maintain governance and control of the territory."

"Unlike near the Taishan Ruins' Oasis Town, the survivors living there have much harsher living conditions than those at the Oasis."

"The evolution pathways provided by the Church and Guild are few; only the most outstanding Level 9 Hunters would be absorbed by them."

"Others are slaves of local major tribes and aren't even qualified as household servants. Even those who become Evolvers will be firmly controlled by major families and serve as slaves for life."

"After becoming an Evolver, I was assigned to a mining team, entering a restricted area, mining an open mine rich in sulfur."

"The shell casing in your hand was inadvertently mined from a sulfur mine. Regulations require turning in everything found, but a few Tier One Late-Stage squad leaders conspired to revolt, and I joined them, escaping the oppression of major families and wandering the wilderness."

"Because of this, we were removed from Ben Niu Town and listed publicly by the Church, unable to live normally in other settlements, eventually becoming wanderers."

Saying this, Ma Chenfeng started introducing the shell casing in Lin Feng's hand in detail:

"This shell casing with a certain magnetic property, once placed in the soil for a while, will attract from the wasteland soil many iron sand particles, along with some sulfur and unknown white crystals..."

"Although it wasn't extremely useful, I think it definitely has connections to that restricted area mine field, and the secret behind it might relate to Tier Three Kings, having deep ties."

Seeing the discerning gaze of the lord slightly narrowed, expressionless...

Ma Chenfeng then took out a small bag and presented it to Lin Feng. Inside were yellow rocks and some white crystals.

The former emitted a pungent smell, confirming they were indeed sulfur, while those white snowflake-like crystals crumbled at a pinch, fingers chilling, carrying a slight smell.

Likely niter, also known as potassium nitrate, one of the main ingredients for gunpowder.

Lin Feng brought the shell casing close, and indeed, just as Ma Chenfeng described, it could attract sulfur and nitrate similarly to attracting iron filings.

This also confirmed that the shell casing carried radiation energy, which wasn't just simple magnetism but resulted from the superpower gene's multiple radiation attraction.

The mining area mentioned by Ma Chenfeng might relate to Gun King Source Material, which aligns with the proxy plan Zong Shiyue discussed before.

The strongest former Tier Three King, Gun King, his Tier Three Source Material relating to firearms superpower was integrated into artificial beings, enabling them to harness third-stage powerful superpowers, directly becoming entities capable of rivaling Tier Three Kings.

And the Gun Agent possibly went through a fierce battle in the restricted area mine field, releasing and scattering a vast amount of Gun King Source Material, thereby forming severe radiation pollution.

The so-called restricted mine field was likely caused by the proxy set's battle.

Just like the Taishan Ruins.

Except for the Taishan Ruins Forbidden Area, utilizing a Tier Three Wolf King of the Beast Race, imprisoning a God from the Path of Transcendence, transforming it into a hidden Evil God.
