It can help Wolf Ao's descendants evolve to Late Tier Two, inherit its bloodline duties, and continue to guard the Desert Wolf Race...
It also gives the Salvation Army an opportunity to seamlessly acquire the entire Rock-Horned Horse breeding industry.
Cooperating with the military factory relics in Feicheng Shelter can directly solve the two major issues of food and weapons.
The specific plan is to attack Nongzhuang Village, which is about to pass by the Taishan Ruins.
Otherwise, relying on just their squad, how could they challenge an entire Oasis Town?
"That guy's here to help the Holy Spring Sect search for Desert Wolf Life Source Material in the Taishan Ruins; it seems the intel from Duncan and the Guild was correct..."
The silver-white haired female leader couldn't help but smile as she continued:
"The inside of Oasis Town has already become a powder keg, and the chances of success for this operation have increased by at least thirty percent."
"Our recovery of strength is right in front of us!"
As the leader finished speaking, the dozen or so people instantly became motivated, working even harder to burn and kill the mutants attacking from the darkness.
The second-in-command, Ma Li, also began to speed up the cutting process.
Once they break open the door, everyone can enter the seventh underground level of the shelter, where a few Special-level Hunters accidentally crashed into a military factory a few days ago.
Having a weapon production line would provide the foundation to stand firm in the wasteland.
The main force of the Salvation Army was fervently working when Lin Feng and his group of six had just set foot in this dangerous place on the fourth underground level.
Fortunately, with the guidance of the experienced Zheng Yan Ying, the squad maintained a front-and-back formation of three threes, and after climbing thirty stairs, arrived in the space of the fourth underground level, which was below twenty degrees, without any mutant attacks occurring for the time being.
From the fourth level onward, the entire floor became even darker, and occasionally, they would encounter a mist condensed by low temperatures, precipitating in the corridors.
The tiny water droplets in the mist were composed of mutated bacterial clusters, filled with terrifying pollution.
Breathing in just one gulp of this toxic gas would cause severe infection, leading to respiratory failure, systemic inflammation, or worse, turning those with lower Evolution Level and poorer resistance directly into Corruptors.
Becoming entities similar to mutants.
Luckily, Lin Feng and the others were wearing sealed battle armor and were under the protection of the Master of the Holy Spring, allowing them to disperse the toxic fog drifting nearby.
However, after entering the fourth underground level, not only did the temperature drop, but the ground also became extremely slippery under the influence of the mist, similar to the humid air during the returning south weather of the Old Earth Era, to the point where it felt like water could be wrung out.
Along with the environmental deterioration, the mental pollution on the entire fourth floor also became more severe.
The murmurs and whispers in everyone's ears, which began as soft and inaudible, turned into the noisy commotion of a crowded market, like thousands of movies and videos playing simultaneously.
Only by concentrating could they relieve this continuous mental pollution.
Meanwhile, they also had to keep alert, locking onto and investigating any movement around them immediately.
While remaining tensely vigilant, they had to multitask.
This high-pressure state was actually more fatiguing to their mental state than physical exhaustion.
But it was these dangers that led to the Taishan Ruins being classified as a restricted area.
"Be careful, try not to shoot."
After entering the fourth underground level and choosing to go right first, Zheng Yan Ying whispered instructions ahead.
Although firearms were convenient and useful, the sound of gunfire was too loud, easily attracting all the mutants within a hundred meters.
The team would then fall into a vicious cycle of being constantly surrounded.
Therefore, unless they have completed the mission and are discovered by mutants while retreating or are entirely exposed and pursued by a large number of mutants, they should refrain from using firearms or cannons to break free from encirclement recklessly.
Of course, if they were confident in their weapons and had exceptionally powerful firepower capable of wiping out hundreds or thousands of mutants, these restrictions wouldn't apply.
But even if they could carry this many weapons and ammunition, wasting them in the ruins would be unwise.
The same firepower was enough to annihilate a small Tier Two wolf pack, or even blow up a Tier Two Early Clan Leader-level Desert Wolf among them.
So why risk entering the ruins to clear mutants when it's uncertain if there's even a Tier Two Desert Wolf corpse there?
Squandering precious firearms here would be a waste.
However, everyone was prepared with silencers, capable of supporting with some firepower and easing Zheng Yan Ying's pressure if they encountered a small group of a dozen mutants.
Thus, they proceeded cautiously, trying not to make noise with each step.
Even though mutants didn't have eyes, ears, or even noses, and couldn't hear, see, or smell the outside world, their tactile senses were incredibly acute.
Every inch of their skin and every cell of their bodies could perceive the slightest vibrations.
As long as the distance was close enough, even the airflow from people's breathing could be detected.
The explosion inside the bullet casing and the vibration of the entire gun body when firing a bullet could spread over a hundred meters, like a signal flare.
Only by maintaining silence could they safely infiltrate.
Soon, after the group advanced a kilometer along the right edge of the fourth level of the shelter, they reached the place where the hibernation pods were initially stored.
This was also one of the most fiercely fought places during the War of Kings!
Right outside the cryogenic hibernation chamber, they saw many claw marks that had damaged the concrete walls, as well as dry bloodstains and wolf hairs scattered about...
