Chapter 156: Chapter 117: Turning Into a Werewolf? Learning to Drive Before Departure

Lin Feng frowned slightly, nodded, and stood up:

“That’s right, the Desert Wolf characteristics on Su Yueyue are becoming more and more obvious. At first, I didn’t realize it until just now when she was playing with the Divine Dog…”

“Her behavior traits, and the expression of baring her teeth, are almost identical to a Desert Wolf’s.”

Chen Shanshan gasped in shock.

She never really understood why Lin Feng’s expression changed so dramatically, becoming extremely serious after he walked into the transport vehicle and saw Yueyue playing with the Divine Dog.

She thought it was because Lin Feng discovered that Su Yueyue was sick, prompting him to examine her.

Unexpectedly, the ultimate reason was closely related to their mission of relic collection, and Father Su An’s special attention and need for the Desert Wolf since the beginning.

With her elementary level of cognitive understanding, Chen Shanshan never thought human experimentation could exist.

If it weren’t for Ding Yi’s keen observation, Chen Shanshan might never have realized.

In fact, apart from Ding Yi, others in the team, like the quick-witted Liu Qian and Ah Ming, might have already guessed Lin Feng’s discovery of the truth after hearing Lin Feng’s introduction on evolution, the genetic radiation of the Tier Three King, and Father Su An’s research on Desert Wolf genetic lineage…

Connecting this with Lin Feng’s serious demeanor when examining Su Yueyue.

Only Chen Shanshan came to a belated realization after Ding Yi’s reminder, and she asked with a worried and tense expression:

“What should we do? Will Su Yueyue turn into a…”

Lin Feng sighed deeply:

“A dog?”

“Probably not. After all, in places like Nongzhuang Village and Oasis Town, so many Evolvers mostly use the Life Source Material of the Rock-Horned Horse to evolve…”

“As long as the intake doesn’t exceed a certain amount, the impact on the body should be limited to the upper limit of evolution.”

Chen Shanshan nodded but then recalled the uniqueness of the Tier Three King:

“But the Rock-Horned Horse’s upper limit is only Tier Two Clan Leader Level, whereas the bloodline inheritance of the Desert Wolf comes from the Tier Three Wolf King that died in the Taishan Ruins…”

“Could the impact be greater? Like the various abnormal behaviors appearing on Su Yueyue.”

Lin Feng took a deep breath:

“It shouldn’t be, at most becoming a human-wolf hybrid…”

“A werewolf?”

“In any case, let’s not spread this matter for now, since we haven’t truly confirmed Su Yueyue’s condition. Besides, even if Father Su An needs to conduct experiments, it concerns Holy Spring Village and the Holy Spring Sect itself, and has little to do with us.”

“Don’t rush into involvement.”

Chen Shanshan’s eyes dimmed upon hearing Lin Feng’s words.

Although she did not oppose Lin Feng’s decision to distance themselves, out of sympathy and empathy, she couldn’t accept such a dark reality.

Seeing this, Lin Feng added:

“However, regarding this matter, I will personally inquire with Father Su An before the mission.”

“After all, it is also related to our mission, and I don’t want the team to be affected by hidden matters.”

In fact, Lin Feng meant to use this relic search mission as leverage to understand the truth behind Su Yueyue’s abnormal condition.

Because currently, only the Desert Hunting Team under his leadership can successfully complete the mission to collect Desert Wolf Life Source Material in the entire Oasis Town.

If the Church deploys its Late Stage Combat Priests, they could complete it too, but each of them is likely being closely watched by the Li Family.

With vast wilderness on both sides of Oasis Town, wanting to avoid all eyes and stealthily enter is obviously impossible.

Moreover, if the Li Family discovers multiple Combat Priests leaving Oasis Town, without even thinking, Lin Feng knows the Li Family will definitely take the initiative, storming into the Church District to seize control of the Oasis.

Thus, understanding the current changing dynamics of Oasis Town more, Lin Feng realizes more the significance of his presence to the Church.

Especially after advancing to Late Tier One, wielding two Branded Cannon weapons…

Lin Feng can be considered the strongest person below Tier Two.

And when he successfully completes the mission and returns, he will surely influence the tense showdown between the Church and the Li Family in Oasis Town.

Although Lin Feng trusts Father Su An’s character, believing he isn’t an inhumane lunatic, some matters are still better explained clearly.

It’s also more helpful for everyone to complete the collection mission.

Upon receiving Lin Feng’s promise, Chen Shanshan instantly turned her worries into happiness, nodded heavily, and smiled.

Lin Feng then said:

“While we have time now, let me teach you how to drive.”

“Nowadays, cars are automatic, you just need to press the brake and accelerator, the gear has a button to adjust.”

Chen Shanshan hesitated:

“I… can I really?”

Lin Feng brought the young girl to the driver’s seat of the transport vehicle.

The two stood face to face, with Lin Feng measuring the height difference between them.

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from the man, Chen Shanshan blushed, this pleasant scent was completely different from the residents mixed in the village.

They all carried the slightly sour and stale odor of dried sweat.

Only Lin Feng had no unpleasant smell.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng was considering whether the girl in front of him could reach the pedals of the car.

After all, from memory, she was not even 1.6 meters tall.

He himself was currently about 1.9 meters, having slowly grown taller from 1.85 meters to 1.9 meters after Tier Jump Evolution.

As for Chen Shanshan, she used to only reach Lin Feng’s chest at just over 1.5 meters tall, but now she had finally grown taller, with her head nearly reaching Lin Feng’s neck.

Around 1.65 meters it seemed.

“Close enough, try sitting inside, see if you can reach the pedals, just be careful not to step too hard.”

Only then did Chen Shanshan belatedly realize that Lin Feng was disdaining her height. She shot the man a glare and sat on the spacious driver’s seat.

Although the young girl was quite short, even within the Evolvers she’s half a head shorter than the other four women in the team…

Yet Chen Shanshan’s legs were very long.

The proportion of her upper to lower body was nearly three to seven, truly a nine-head figure.

So even though her height was limited, she could easily reach the pedals of the large transport vehicle with her long legs.

Lin Feng nodded, then ran outside to greet Liu Mingfei in the front vehicle, unhooking the towing chain between the cars.

Returning to the vehicle, he began directing Chen Shanshan to move the car out to Holy Spring Village’s team, learning how to drive on the right side of the Oasis Battleship.

The flat and open Oasis Avenue provided an excellent practice ground for the young girl, and with the simplicity of an automatic transmission, her driving skills improved rapidly.

Soon after, around dinnertime, those who went out riding tricycles to the Fifth Village hurried back to the camp.

The things they bought were varied, mostly daily necessities, along with some bandages, hemostatic drugs, etc.

The most unexpected purchase for Lin Feng was Ding Yi buying seven flashlights, which were practically useless in Oasis Town.

But once everyone entered the underground ruins, it would become the most useful exploration tool.

Time quickly passed, and day turned into night.

After dinner, everyone used the Holy Spring Village’s bathhouse to thoroughly clean themselves inside and out.

Since Lin Feng had already washed in the Oasis, he only freshened up briefly and came out, replacing Liu Mingfei who went in to wash.

After bathing, the refreshed group soon fell into a deep sleep, replenishing energy for the next day’s mission.

Lin Feng lay in the front passenger seat, pondering with his eyes closed.

During the night he switched shifts with Liu Mingfei.

About ten hours later…

The morning of the first day after Holy Spring Day.

Chen Shanshan and a few others went to Mechanical Village to settle the purchase of dormitory supply vehicles.

Lin Feng, with doubts in mind, went to the village chief’s office.

To bid farewell to Father Su An.

Along with asking about the usage of Holy Spring Water and the issue concerning Su Yueyue.
