Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 480 - 238: Holy City Reinforcements, the Taste of Power, and the First Edition of the Holy Spring Scripture

Chapter 480: Chapter 238: Holy City Reinforcements, the Taste of Power, and the First Edition of the Holy Spring Scripture

Moreover, Li Hao had once subtly expressed that as long as they could seize control of the Oasis Battleship and navigate it along a certain abandoned path, there would be a support team from the north waiting along the way.

At that time, they would also assist everyone in escaping the Church’s pursuit and blocking efforts.

But now, according to Lin Feng, it seemed that Holy City had already taken action ahead of schedule...

If the news is true, it would undoubtedly be a time bomb ready to explode at any moment, and it’s estimated that two-thirds of the members here would choose to withdraw from the alliance.

After all, those are Temple Knights, and any Evolver who has been to the Holy City knows their immense strength.

They can easily handle several individuals of the same level, and challenging higher levels is just commonplace for them.

Each of them possesses no less than Mid-Tier Two strength, even a newly promoted Level 20 Apprentice Knight can easily challenge a normal Tier Two Mid-Stage Evolver.

To make a comparison, it would be like a strong person like Lin Feng, possessing an exceptionally strong firearms superpower, capable of delivering powerful firepower from a distance, easily handling Evolvers of the same level, and even suppressing those of higher levels.

But Lin Feng is just a rarity among tens of thousands of people.

And every member of the Holy Temple Knight Order possesses this level of strength, or rather, this is just the minimum requirement to enter the order.

The stronger ones are the backbone forces within the Holy Spring Sect, responsible for maintaining the Church’s rule, with an influence spanning over tens of millions of square kilometers of territory.

In an era where Tier Three Kings do not emerge, the Holy Temple Knight Order represents the strongest force on this wasteland.

Just like the rebellion in Oasis Town, a single Tier Two Mid-Stage Official Knight can easily handle it.

Li Mingquan’s grandfather, Li Family Patriarch Li Hao, who was once ranked in the top fifty on the Celestial List, as a Level 26 Rock Horse Warrior, could hardly last three rounds against an Official Knight of the Church.

The battle-hardy knights have been either killing or on their way to battle since they were Tier One Priests.

Their experiences climbing up are filled with countless corpses and innumerable killings.

If what Lin Feng says is true, that Holy City Diocese has actually dispatched Temple Knights for support, then for the Li Family, whether to launch a rebellion or seize control of Oasis no longer matters.

What truly matters now is how to extricate themselves, sever ties with the family and the rebels, and then pack up and flee.

Because with the arrival of Temple Knights, even the Oasis Church will lose its voice, and there’s no guarantee in siding with them.

Li Mingquan thought about it over and over, his nerves taut, cold sweat began to form on his forehead. In the eighteen-degree VIP box, he felt a chill down his back.

Lin Feng no longer paid attention to the other, continuing to eat the remaining Level 20 Evolutionary Meat on the table.

Li Mingquan had gone all out for this banquet, contributing ten kilograms of twenty-level Evolutionary Meat, of which Lin Feng alone ate eight kilograms.

Although, when converted to dehydrated dried meat, half of the weight would be reduced, it was still quite expensive.

Once full and satisfied, Lin Feng burped, finished off the brandy in his glass, picked up the ten kilograms of Level 20 evolutionary dried meat brought over by Rong Yan, and stood up.

Before leaving, Lin Feng patted Li Mingquan on the shoulder:

"It’s getting late, I’ll leave you now. The arena duel has ended today, Li, you’d better prepare for tomorrow’s affairs!"

With that, he shrugged and left the box.

Looking at Lin Feng’s departing figure, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Li Mingquan’s mind.

The proposal Lin Feng made earlier, the beautiful vision of after reaching Holy City, seemed like a good retreat plan.

This guy stands with Oasis Church, so even if Oasis Town risks early takeover by the Holy City Diocese, he won’t be in trouble.

After all, the Holy Spring Sect still needs to win people’s hearts; what they say in the open must be reasonable.

Besides, Lin Feng is a Tier Two Evolver and also a firearms superpower user, making him a target to attract.

If he could establish a connection with him and obtain a legitimate status to go to Holy City, he could preserve a strand of the Li Family’s bloodline amidst the catastrophe of clan annihilation.

With this thought, Li Mingquan decided to take relying on Lin Feng as one of his retreat options.

But first, he must confirm from Li Hao whether Holy City has indeed sent support forces early.

After Lin Feng left, he wandered on the Upper District streets, noticing many eyes cast secretly towards him, observing these Upper Class with interest.

By now, they could also sense the changing situation, the omen of impending doom.

But the carefree and leisurely days of the past had turned them into half-wretches. Pampered for so long, they no longer had the courage to struggle or resist.

They could only wait with empty, numb eyes for the fate of death to descend upon them.

Lin Feng considered that during the power vacuum in Oasis, he could make good use of the Oasis Key he held and his identity as Deputy Captain...

Just like Rong Yan who he had just met, she had to use Li Mingquan as an intermediary to arrange a meeting with him.

Ten kilograms of Level 20 Evolutionary Meat were not cheap, worth an impressive one thousand points per kilogram, already valued at ten thousand points.

Given the current situation in Oasis Town, even if the price went up to thirty or forty thousand, there would still be plenty of buyers.

And that’s just for a personal rescue.

Subsequently taking away the Upper Class children of Rong Yan would yield additional rewards.

For the first time, Lin Feng felt the taste of power, deeply experiencing its corruption on those in high places.

Of course, in ordinary times, if Lin Feng had gone through all kinds of hardships to reach this point, he certainly wouldn’t dirty his hands and feet over such trivial matters.

Now it was just seeing the Oasis Building about to collapse, giving a hand before being removed during the change in ownership.

Can’t just watch everyone jump into the fire pit.

However, the quotas to board the ship afterward are limited, and naturally, the tickets to escape can only be obtained by the capable ones.

As Lin Feng walked along, pondering how to scrape some benefit from the Oasis Battleship, unconsciously, he returned to the Church District.

Shen Yue’s figure appeared in front of him, having waited a long time.

Seeing Lin Feng walk over nonchalantly, still carrying ten kilograms of dried meat, she couldn’t help but ask:

"What did that guy Li Mingquan say?"

Lin Feng lifted his head and shrugged:

"Nothing much, he wanted to ask about the Church’s arrangements for Tier Two players in the coming three days."

Shen Yue was taken aback:

"And did you tell him?"

Lin Feng halted for a moment:

"Tell what? How should I know? It’s arranged by Lord Bishop and Su An Divine Hall, I can at most give him a prediction and probe their information on their side."

Shen Yue finally exhaled a sigh of relief:

"Exactly, that’s how it should be! That Li Family guy clearly harbors malice, even if he appears sincere, it’s just a guise to win your trust!"

Lin Feng nodded in agreement:

"Hmm, so I even scared him a bit at the end, reminding him that support from Holy City is already on the way, and once the Temple Knights arrive, even if Li Family seizes control of Oasis, they wouldn’t escape death in the end..."

"Better wake up in time, and repent."

Shen Yue was somewhat surprised looking at Lin Feng, after a moment of speechlessness, she reminded:

"Lord Bishop asked me to wait for you to return, and then go to his private prayer room."

Lin Feng made a sound, then entered the back of the church.

Once again, he came to that secluded dark secret room, looking at the elderly person sitting in front of him with dim eyes, Lin Feng suddenly realized, the Curse of the Light Weapon on the Oasis Battleship, located at the bow’s control room, symmetrically front and back, should be this private prayer room!

Surely, the real deadly weapon has always been in the hands of the Bishop.

After Lin Feng entered, Lord Bishop turned from the bookshelf behind, holding a worn-out ancient book, and slowly spoke:

"I heard you went to the library this morning, showing interest in the Church’s past history?"

Lin Feng was slightly stunned; he had considered many ways Lord Bishop might start their meeting, possibly asking about views on today’s duel results, potentially discussing arrangements for the next three events, and more likely, addressing the banquet content with Li Mingquan just now.

But Lin Feng hadn’t expected the thing that Bishop Zhang Hui truly cared about was his morning’s borrowing of the Holy Spring Scripture.

Feeling a bit baffled, Lin Feng nodded and admitted directly:

"Yes, found a rarely touched Holy Spring Scripture."

"I want to know what happened in the past, what must have been experienced for Earth to become today’s wasteland, where humans and all surface beings are driven by the apocalypse of ’Three Days in the Sky’ like livestock, facing a relentless escape from the moment they open their eyes, until death..."

Bishop Zhang Hui chuckled softly, pushing the thick book forward:

"Only All Gods understand this question; you can delve into the Lord’s scriptures and ponder over it well."

Lin Feng leaned forward and looked down.

The old book bore three calligraphy characters:

Holy Spring Scripture

And at the bottom right of the cover,

bore tiny print from the first edition.
