Chapter 67: Chapter 58: Divine Dog, Map, Wanderer

Lin Feng nodded, carefully rolled up the map, tied it tightly with a string, and held it in his hand.

As he left, Father Su An stopped Lin Feng, taking out a telescopic telescope:

“Recently, the observation station on the Oasis has seen some unknown convoys passing by, those are the lawless refugees.”

“The wanderers’ target is likely the Desert Beast Group, so be careful on the road.”

Lin Feng took the high-powered telescope somewhat puzzled, intending to ask for clarification, but seeing Father Su An already getting up to enter the bedroom behind him, too exhausted to stay longer…

So he put away the telescope, frowned slightly, and looked at Chen Shanshan behind him.

The latter swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nodded, indicating she understood.

As she led Lin Feng out of the office, leaving Holy Spring Village, Chen Shanshan explained while walking:

“The unknown convoys are small settlements independent of Oasis Town, similar to the Five Major Villages, but much smaller, usually with only a dozen or dozens of vehicles, around a hundred people.”

“Among them are Evolvers and Desert Hunting Teams who tore up agreements and fled, troublemakers in the village, and some who couldn’t survive and didn’t want to become slaves, so they decided to escape the restraint and rule of Oasis Town.”

“This group gathers in the Wilderness, homeless with no fixed route, hence they are called Wanderers.”

“Previously, I had killed a person from Nongzhuang Village and planned to wander the Wilderness alone, finding a small convoy to settle down.”

Saying this, Chen Shanshan changed the subject:

“Among Wanderers, because there is no order and the Wasteland’s harsh environment, they adhere to the complete law of the jungle.”

“Survival of the fittest.”

“Some even gradually evolved into cannibalistic tribes, wandering the Wilderness…”

“They eat raw meat and drink blood, becoming beasts…”

Saying this, under the scorching sun, Chen Shanshan couldn’t help but shiver:

“Once, while following my master, I was fortunate to sit on a Pilgrimage Convoy heading to the great city and saw hordes of refugees like zombies on the road, tens of thousands…”

“They wantonly attacked nearby wanderers and small settlements, and because of cannibalism in the team, they evolved into various highly mutated Mutants, looking very horrifying.”

After hearing Chen Shanshan’s introduction, Lin Feng frowned deeply:

“So, if we leave more than a dozen kilometers around the Oasis, it will become very dangerous?”

“This operation, I fear…”

Chen Shanshan shook her head:

“No, large refugee tribes are actually few in number, and they are very far from large settlements like Oasis Town. Their leaders are not foolish; they’ll stay far away…”

“You must know that an Oasis like this is a mobile fortress, not only a settlement or Earthly Divine Kingdom but also a powerful battleship.”

“The hidden giant cannons on both sides of the hull can eliminate all enemies dozens of kilometers away.”

“Father Su An wants us to pay attention to unknown convoys; these wanderers from small settlements are more adept at surviving the wasteland rules than we are.”

“They are ruthless and lawless…”

“They covet the resources and equipment we have. If they’re confident of defeating us, the tram and we are their hunting targets.”

“But don’t worry too much; I’ve already become an Evolver. With the battle armor and combined with your long-range firepower, no matter how many wanderers come, we’ll kill them all.”

With Chen Shanshan’s explanation, Lin Feng roughly understood that these small forces outside the official domain were like the bandits and pirates of the old era, engaging in burn, kill and plunder, opportunistic.

And among the wanderers, the strongest is only at the Tier One Evolver level, unwilling to be restrained by Oasis Town, they defect.

They subsequently gather a group of deserters, forming their own small convoys, exiling in the desolate wasteland.

And Lin Feng, relying on the 45 points of damage from his Level 9 Precision Handgun, with a thousand bullets, not to mention dozens or hundreds of wanderers, even Evolvers, can be sniped from a distance.

Together with Chen Shanshan’s close combat containment, there is indeed no need to worry about this issue.

It’s just the tens of thousands of refugees who resemble beasts that sound daunting, even making Lin Feng shudder a bit.

After obtaining map guidance and the telescope, along with reminders about the wanderers, Lin Feng and the two of them walked out of Holy Spring Village and returned to the tram.

The two of them briefly described the upcoming journey and the news about the wanderers to the other five team members.

Liu Mingfei then hit the gas, turned the steering wheel one and a half times to the right, heading towards the right side of Oasis Avenue.

At this moment, the tram’s speed had obviously increased.

Lin Feng glanced with peripheral vision, noting the reminder of the repair completion of the Level 9 Light Bus’s durability, as well as the attribute changes:

“Light Bus Level 10, Red Quality”

“Basic Attributes: Defense 60; Durability 10/10; Top Speed 5km; Item Level surpasses Host Level, temporarily unable to upgrade”

“Extra Attributes: Gear Speed Regulation (1/2/5km/h)”

“Note: The comprehensive upgrade of the solar panel grants sufficient power to the Light Bus, paired with the advanced motor, optimized and improved the overall power system, with top speed increased to five kilometers”

Five kilometers of speed is already faster than most powered trams, and even Late-stage Enhanced People can only run this speed for about 20 or 30 kilometers.

Humans and animals need rest, but the tram does not tire; as long as the sunlight is ample, it can keep running continuously.

In chasing prey such as Rock-Horned Horses, the increased speed of the tram can be a great help.

Greatly saving everyone’s stamina consumption during the chase.

And now, with just twenty pounds of Level 9 Rock-Horned Horse Dried Meat, all the solar panels can be upgraded to the current Level 9 limit, further enhancing the tram’s speed.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng grew even more expectant of the upcoming hunting season.

As the tram accelerated away from Oasis Town…

On a hill to the right side of Oasis Avenue, Old Duncan’s Deserted Village Squad held a telescope.

“They went to Holy Spring Village, could they be affiliated with the Holy Spring Sect? But the Holy Spring Sect only recruits second-generation deserters as Holy See protectors.”

At this moment, Lisa changed from her enthusiasm in the Fifth Village to indifference, holding a half-piece of Sandalwood Grass Root in her mouth, speaking with a distant look.

Old Duncan put down the telescope:

“Not sure. If they want to obtain evolution methods from Holy Spring Village, then there’s no need to continue contact; the church dogs will only bring us greater trouble.”

“Let’s go, they’re coming.”

“Execute the original plan, after catching the Rock-Horned Horse, we’ll part ways, carrying the supplies and harvest to Lord Bai at the Taishan Ruins.”

Lisa sighed regretfully.

She quite liked Lin Feng; if he were recruited under the Lord, they could fight side by side in the future.
