Chapter 107: Chapter 88: Triumph and Meeting Father Su An

Ding Yi glanced up at the wall clock hanging in the carriage; it was now ten o’clock on the morning of the fifth day.

He walked out of the battle car and came to the cultivation cabin in the corridor, opened the lid to water with fresh water, then pulled out a handful of tender grass to feed the Rock-Horned Horse nearby, and spoke to the man in the sunlight:

“In another two hours, Oasis Town will stop its progression and begin this Holy Spring Day.”

Lin Feng nodded, calculating that it had been about seventeen days since he awakened from the wasteland.

And within this brief half-month, he had grown from a near-death struggle to his current state.

Not only had he established a firm foothold in Oasis Town, ensuring food and clothing, but his strength had skyrocketed.

On average, it could be said that he advanced a level each day.

This rapid speed was unparalleled even by the evolution geniuses, the favored children of heaven, of the past.

But along this journey, Lin Feng was almost always either on the combat trail or hunting.

Especially during the last hunting action, he nearly perished under the iron hooves and horse horns of a clan leader-level Rock-Horned Horse.

And now, the Tier One Mid-Stage evolution strength he possessed was the reward for his desperate efforts.

As for now, Lin Feng shifted his gaze from the dodging deserted village squads around him to his left front, where a steel giant beast slowly appeared…

It was time to return to Oasis Town to exchange the battle spoils of this loaded car for points, and update the equipment for squad members.

Especially the need to solve the issue of the electric car’s power.

Purchase more batteries, add dual-drive or even four-wheel drive motors, and order other small rapid electric cars.

As the Rock Horse Battle Car with its unique shape left the rugged wilderness roads and drove onto Oasis Avenue, the deserted village squads that had retreated began to gather again.

They stared tightly at the departing battle car, showing greedy and yearning yet somewhat fearful expressions at the rows of horse jerky hanging from the car.

Such a battle car belonging to an Evolver and the Desert Hunting Team it carried, were beyond what they could covet; even being seen face-to-face could result in catastrophic attacks from them.

There were even many evolvers or their team members who would kill for entertainment, as to them, deserters were considered the lowest existence of the wasteland, no different from commodities at the slave market.

As long as no killings occurred within Oasis Town, no one could stop their wanton behavior.

This is one reason why most deserted village squads would hide far from the Desert Hunting Team when encountering them in the wild.

Fortunately, evolvers and the Desert Hunting Team rarely operate near Oasis Town, as the resources within a twenty-kilometer radius are too barren for them.

One hardly sees medium and large mutated desolate beasts.

The most common are small crawling beasts or rodents.

These are the types of meat most traded among deserters at the Holy Spring Gathering.

Ordinary horse meat produced by Nongzhuang Village is meat that only permanent residents and first-class deserted village squads can afford.

Although dry and tough, it is extremely filling, with one pound of meat providing sustenance for an entire day.

And right now, on the Lin Feng squad’s battle car, the stored several tons of jerky, even the lowest grade, is Level 9 Enhanced Meat, worth five to six times that of ordinary horse meat, selling for five to six points.

Subtracting the battle car and member’s own weight, there were nearly six tons of goods in total.

Among them, the high-level photovoltaic panels of the Tier One Mid-Stage Rock-Horned Horse numbered twenty-four, weighing about seven hundred kilograms.

But their value far exceeds the same-weighted enhanced meat; Lin Feng estimated their worth to be at least five thousand points.

Because this kind of quality photovoltaic rock plate is more advanced than the top-tier photovoltaic panels costing two hundred points each, and is specifically sent to big cities for sale.

How to negotiate with Dawn Village and strive for a reasonable high price was Lin Feng’s main concern.

At this moment, the Rock Horse Battle Car traveled along Oasis Avenue, sticking to the right side, avoiding the dust-laden tail, and arrived at the outskirts of Oasis Town, the location of the slave market.

Then continued forward, heading to Fifth Village.

Meanwhile, the overall progression speed of Oasis Town was also slowly reducing.

Though only a tortoise speed of less than thirty centimeters per second, for a steel city as long as two hundred meters, thirty meters wide, and over twenty meters high…

Just the power needed to propel this tens of thousands of ton giant beast was a staggering figure.

And to stop its progression and let its vast inertial kinetic energy during the process not damage the structure of the battleship could only be achieved by slowly braking in advance.

The braking distance alone was two to three kilometers.

Only in this way could the steel giant remain intact.

Based on Oasis Town’s average speed of advancement at one kilometer per hour, twenty-four kilometers a day, and the two Holy Spring Days being fifteen days apart, advancing for fourteen days, a total distance of more than three hundred thirty kilometers was traveled.

During this period, discounting detours, the straight-line distance covered was roughly three hundred kilometers, while the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area behind had extended two hundred seventy kilometers forward in fifteen days.

Thus, calculating the distance between Oasis Town and the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area fluctuates between thirty and sixty kilometers.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng frowned slightly.

Previously, he didn’t feel much, thinking Oasis Town was merely waiting for the tens of thousands of deserters struggling behind.

But now, after understanding the curse of the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area, he wished to move far ahead, for a distance less than twenty kilometers from the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area brought an inexplicable fear of being watched.

If it weren’t for the Holy Spring Day, Oasis Town could obviously go farther, not saying for thousands of miles but just needing to pull out a four or five hundred kilometer gap to gain half a month’s breathing space.

Why do we need to stop so frequently…

Clearly the more frequent starts and stops, the greater the damage to the ship’s body.

Lin Feng was somewhat puzzled, but this matter must be related to the Holy Spring Sect because they are the actual rulers of Oasis Town.

If there’s a chance this time, perhaps the mission’s rewards can be leveraged to gain qualifications to head towards the Oasis, thereby uncovering the truth behind this.

And such a large amount of resources, along with several live horses, is enough to cause a sensation.

Lin Feng is confident in seizing this opportunity to go to the Oasis.

To ensure safety, Lin Feng did not proceed directly to the Fifth Village but, after catching up, continued moving ahead.

He traveled through Dawn Village, arriving outside Holy Spring Village at the upper right of Oasis Town.

An hour speed of ten kilometers is considered very speedy in Oasis Town, arriving at the destination in less than half an hour.

At this moment, Lin Feng, riding the Rock-Horned Horse underneath him, led the Rock Horse Battle Car behind him to the entrance of Holy Spring Village.

The guards saw a familiar face, recalling he was the frequent visitor here to meet Father Su An five or six days ago, so they didn’t issue a warning directly,

but lowered their guns and asked his intention.

Lin Feng took out the teaching emblem hung at his chest:

“Seeking Father Su An, we have completed the task he assigned, here to pay a visit.”

The guard captain stepped out, saw Lin Feng riding a large Rock-Horned Horse that stood two and a half meters tall and five or six meters long, hesitantly said:

“Will this Rock-Horned Horse go berserk? And this modified vehicle looks bizarre, if it loses control, it will be very dangerous.”

The captain shook his head:

“This way, people can enter but the horse and car must stay outside; otherwise, it’s too dangerous for the students here, and if something happens we need to bear responsibility.”

“But rest assured, we will also look after them together.”

As the captain spoke, the entire Holy Spring Village slowly stopped, finally halting in the shadow to the right of the Oasis Battleship.

Lin Feng nodded, acknowledging the concerns were reasonable, so he pulled the reins, getting the Rock-Horned Horse to stop.

Then he tied it to the horse horn of the battle car head, arranging for Chen Shanshan and others to look after it.

Then, alone, he entered Holy Spring Village to meet Father Su An.

Just then, the tall Steel City giant beast on the left also halted its advance, making a creaking, tearing sound, startling the Rock-Horned Horse into a twitch.

Fortunately, Chen Shanshan held the reins in time.

Ding Yi beside also added a drop of toxin injection.

This caused the Rock-Horned Horse to collapse immediately.

On the other side, Lin Feng was already inside Holy Spring Village, easily finding his way to the priest’s office behind the church.

It was a structure converted from a medium-sized truck.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door, Father happened to be home.

“Come in, I’ve already felt your presence.”

Father Su An’s voice came from inside the door.

Lin Feng pressed the door handle, stepped inside, felt the cool breeze hit him, instantly sobering up.

At this moment, Father Su An was sitting at his desk, correcting a thick stack of exam papers.

After Lin Feng approached, Father Su An put down his pen, carefully examining the young man who had changed his appearance:

“After three days apart, one should view with fresh eyes…”

“Haven’t seen you in five days, looks like a fruitful harvest from that beast gathering site.”

“With your current strength, you are quite capable of venturing into the relics for preliminary exploration.”

Sensing the Tier One Mid-Stage Evolution aura on Lin Feng, Father Su An nodded with satisfaction and continued:

“Directly came to me, wanting me to help handle the abundant spoils of this time?”

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

He knew very well the saying ’A commoner with a treasure, creates envy.’

Now that he’s holding a treasure trove, wanting to get the deserved rewards, might be far from enough with just mid-stage evolutionary strength.

Besides, Lin Feng’s squad is not an affiliate partner of any faction from the Four Major Villages, and places like Nongzhuang Village or Dawn Village will definitely unite to bring pressure on him.

The best course is to find a solid backer, to rally support and gain strength.

And in Oasis Town, whose banner is more imposing than Father Su An’s?
