Chapter 172: Chapter 125: Inside the Ruins, Salvation Army and Whispering Voices

A group of six people traversed through the lineup of vehicles at the entrance, immediately attracting a lot of attention.

Unlike the modestly dressed small convoy forces.

Lin Feng’s team’s equipment, even among large formal military forces, was of top-notch quality.

Especially the four members of Lin Feng’s squad, with four titanium alloy armors of uniform design, besides Lin Feng’s being more refined, were fully functional and perfectly constructed.

The silver sheen on the surface of the new armor glistened in the sunlight, dazzling and eye-catching.

Fully equipped, even their heads were sealed with Level 3 helmets, fitted with breathing filters.

As for the Combat Priest next to them, there’s no need to mention, Zheng Yan Ying after donning her helmet, appeared agile and swift in her close-fitting armor, while her hands wielded a heavy hammer connected at its end to a water tank on her back, filled with Holy Spring Water.

Prepared to deal with the countless mutants inside the ruins.

As for Shen Yue on the side, she wore a set of light white armor, also equipped with a breathing mask to filter the air filled with radiation bacteria inside the ruins, as well as the fluids and flesh splattered by the mutants.

Lin Feng, as he advanced, revealed his Armor-Piercing Cannon and Rapid Fire Cannon, the gun barrel size akin to an egg and more imposing than any impenetrable armor.

Just casually swinging the gun’s muzzle frightened the explorers on either side, causing them to scatter.

Under his helmet, Lin Feng sneered, continuing forward, leading the members behind him, into a large cave opening that could fit in a Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse.

Just as they entered, the dimly lit cave entrance suddenly sounded waves of wolf howls from the valley outside.

“Owooooo~”

Waves of wolf howls, with dozens to hundreds of tones, sharp, majestic, or profound, came from hundreds of evolved Desert Wolves.

Zheng Yan Ying turned her head, seeing Lin Feng and the others had paused, she explained:

“That’s the wolf pack from Fallen Wolf Valley about ten kilometers away, don’t worry too much, as long as we don’t actively provoke them, generally wolf packs won’t target Desert Hunting Teams for hunting.”

“Humans are not easy to deal with, despite our small size, our damage is high, whether it’s guns or blades, they can inflict considerable damage on these Hunters.”

Shen Yue added:

“The main reason is still humans’ small size, after a hard hunt for an entire team, the meat on ten humans is not even as much as that of one herbivorous Desolate Beast.”

“Facing the risk of injury or even death, yet only getting a small amount of meat, it’s not a worthwhile trade for the cautious Desert Wolves.”

“So unless absolutely necessary, they won’t target humans for hunting, and the personnel left with the convoy outside is precisely to guard against Desert Wolf ambushes.”

The three women nodded, following the two’s pace.

Only Lin Feng looked back at the nearby team vehicle camp.

His eyes showed some worries.

He was concerned that the Divine Dog might attract the Desert Wolves.

But with the distance between the two, it was a young cub in the Early Stage of strengthening, it should be no big problem.

At this moment inside the transport truck, Ding Yi, who just tried on the heavy armor, nervously came to the rear compartment upon hearing the wolf howls.

Luckily, the compartment had good sealing, after Lin Feng’s upgrade optimization, the outer armor of the compartment, five centimeters thick, effectively blocked exterior sounds.

Thus, the distant wolf howls did not trigger the Divine Dog’s instinctive awakening reaction.

Just as Ding Yi opened the compartment side door, the Divine Dog hearing the wolf howls wanted to howl along.

Yet Ding Yi quickly rushed forward, grabbing its wolf mouth before it could let out a whimpering sound.

“Quiet!”

Ding Yi turned and closed the door, then released the wolf mouth, sternly commanded.

If they attracted the wolf pack from Fallen Wolf Valley, even a small part, hundreds of Desert Wolves, it would give the team and the nearby ruin explorers a tough time.

After isolating the wolf howls, the awakened bloodline power within the Divine Dog slowly diminished, tilting its head, puzzledly uttering a low hum.

Ding Yi slightly relaxed, thinking that in the future, she should include the command to shut up and the order to howl in the training schedule.

After handling the Divine Dog matter, Ding Yi looked towards the pile of sundries behind the shelves, pondered, and got up to walk over.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng’s group of six had already entered the relic’s entrance.

The iron walls of the shelter’s entrance crafted back then, after a thousand years of time eroding, even stainless steel had corroded and aged, turning into reddish-brown rust debris.

Walking in about thirty-plus meters, you could see an excavated cavern.

About a hundred meters wide, two hundred meters long.

Parked with more than a dozen not-so-worn-out cars, similar to the vehicles from Oasis Town’s village, with obvious signs of modification and welding, varying in size, classified, includes both lightweight combat and heavy transport vehicles.

Some vehicles were printed with a triangular “△” logo.

There were also some robust members on board, looking towards Lin Feng’s direction.

Zheng Yan Ying spoke softly:

“They are the Salvation Army, belonging to a medium-sized force among the Wasteland Wanderers, once birthed a Tier Three King but unfortunately perished…”

“The remaining five Late Tier Two existences, along with the rest of the organizational members, wander the wastelands, wishing for a rebirth of a Tier Three King, reviving former glory.”

As the former ruler’s subordinates, despite degenerating to a second-tier medium-sized force, their foundation is much stronger than ordinary wanderers, a single unit can rival Oasis Town.

But in terms of scale and equipment, they definitely fall short.

No wonder they covet the Rock-Horned Horse industry held by the Li Family in Nongzhuang Village.

With the Rock-Horned Horse industry, they can steadily nurture Tier One Evolvers and meet daily member needs.

Lin Feng nodded, seeing Zheng Yan Ying uninterested in contacting them, he suppressed his thought of going over to greet.

The Church is at odds with the wandering forces; Lin Feng is already aware of this.

However, he himself is not a Church member, it’s just a mission, truth be told, Lin Feng should belong to the Hunting Wilderness Guild as a Special-level Hunter.

The Guild adheres to the fair and free principle of treating everyone equally, with the wandering forces from all sides, there should be no conflict.

In fact, both parties should collaborate closely.

After all, the Guild deals with everything if there’s profit to be made, they accept everything and sell everything.

After encountering the Salvation Army convoy, Zheng Yan Ying led the team members to the other side, approaching a giant ten-meter-high cave entrance.

Looking at the dark passage ahead, Zheng Yan Ying recalled past adventure experiences, deeply inhaled:

“This is the staircase leading to the underground refuge, below is the negative first floor, where the last survivors once lived and resided.”

“Currently, the mutants inside have been completely eliminated, no need to worry, turn on the flashlight, follow me.”

The group immediately switched on the searchlights hanging on their chest.

Lin Feng’s quartet’s armor arms were equipped with an additional spare flashlight.

Lin Feng looked at the dark space beneath him that felt sticky, airtight, and asked:

“Why not inquire about the floor where the arsenal and munitions factory are located, they should be in that area, right?”

Zheng Yan Ying glanced back at Lin Feng:

“That’s a separate price.”

With that, she stepped forward.

Following Zheng Yan Ying’s towering silhouette, they entered the dim underground shelter.

The group held their breath, as though entering another sealed-off world.

As the flashlight beams immersed and vanished into the boundless dark spaces,

Time at this moment, here,

Seemed to fall into stasis…

Quietly, without stirring a single ripple.

But at this moment in everyone’s ears,

The rustling sound of murmurs arose…

Some whispers of human speech, accompanied by mournful wolf howls.
