Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 538 - 264: After Thousands of Years, the Beast Disaster Returns—Cannons Without Operators
At this moment, the scene on the surveillance screen left everyone in the command control room in shock.
They were all Tier One Evolvers of the Holy See, the oldest of whom was not more than two hundred years old.
When reaching the end of their lives, Lord Bishop would lead the crew into the Zhuma Divine Hall to see if they could attract the master’s attention and care, to continue contributing to the Master of the Holy Spring and the Church.
If unsuccessful, they could also rest eternally within the Divine Hall, completing their life’s journey satisfactorily.
In any case, the people in the command control room rarely interacted with the outside world, so they were unaware of such a large-scale Desert Wolf Pack existing in the wasteland.
Not only the people present, but even Lin Feng had never seen tens of thousands, densely packed Evolutionary Desolate Beasts gathered together, moving in groups.
In all of Oasis Town, over 99.99% of people had never witnessed such a breathtaking scene.
Perhaps only Patriarch Li Hao of the Li Family or Lord Bishop, who had lived nearly a thousand years, had the good fortune to witness the large-scale Evolution Beast group preserved from the dark era of the old calendar until now, within their rich adventures and long lives.
If not for the protection agreement made by All Gods back then, the Desert Wolf Race would have long been hunted to near extinction by major settlements and human forces, losing the shelter of the Tier Three King Beast.
Ultimately, only those loyal to humans were left, gradually evolving into the new generation of guard dogs.
Becoming humanity’s most loyal friends.
Given the current strength of the Desert Wolf Race, they can’t even count as the most ordinary first-tier influence, at most a top-tier second-tier influence.
Led by a Desolate Wolf Beast at the Tier Two Limit, Level 29.
Accompanied by three Tier Two early-stage giant wolves, as Wolf Ao’s right-hand helpers.
Equivalent to the top existence below the Tier Three Royal City.
Ordinarily, they could freely attack wanderers or Rock-Horned Horse herds in the wilderness, reigning over the Unclaimed Land arrogantly.
But now, in the wasteland desert, any area or route with some value has been absorbed under the banner of large influences.
Even a mid-sized settlement at the town level would at least have a Level 29 presence overseeing the area, and those capable of developing would undoubtedly be reinforced by sending a Tier Three early-stage King to consolidate the ruling order when upgraded to a city with a scale of hundreds of thousands.
After all, from the cataclysm at the beginning of the Old Earth Era to the current post-apocalyptic world, the evolution period of Earth’s life has exceeded ten thousand years.
During which thousands of Tier Three existences have been born!
The paths left for Tier Three Evolution are countless. Many old large influences hold more than three high-tier evolution pathways.
Even secondary top-tier influences like the Hunting Wilderness Guild or the Life Farm, through thousand years of development and accumulation, have high-tier sources in their secret repositories.
Just find someone compatible, and a Tier Three King can be directly cultivated.
The reason they haven’t done so, first of all, is to consider the top-tier influences above, the Holy Spring Sect, and the Giant Enterprise Alliance, but most critically, there are not enough resources left on the wasteland to establish a medium to large settlement to sustain a Tier Three King.
It’s not the evolution pathways that are lacking, but the resources needed to achieve evolution.
In fact, this is also the issue facing the Desert Wolf Race. Although the Gods ordered that first-tier large influences cannot touch the Desert Wolves or plunder the wolf evolution pathways...
But to sustain the large clan left by the Wolf King, the Wolf Race must consume a significant amount of resources annually to maintain such a scale of Evolutionary Desolate Beast group.
Especially since Desert Wolves are predatory animals.
They need to eat meat to survive.
Different from large herbivores like Rock-Horned Horses, Desert Wolves have not evolved photosynthesis-like traits in plants. The hardening and metallization of their fur and skin are primarily for heat dissipation, to enhance the endurance of the Desert Wolves.
To be able to undertake long-distance pursuits of large herbivore groups like the Rock-Horned Horse, exhausting the opponent’s stamina and achieving perfect and unharmed kills.
Yet even so, the biological resources of the wasteland are dwindling, reducing what was once a hundred thousand-strong Evolutionary Wolf pack under the command of the Tier Three Wolf King to a mere ten thousand today.
Even if the Desert Wolf Pack occasionally attacked the human Wandering Force, it couldn’t stop the new generation of Evolutionary Desolate Wolves’ decreasing trend.
Now, with the crisis of the remnant seal breaking and impending dark turmoil, the Desert Wolf Pack has no choice but to tear the protection agreement and take the risk of attacking human medium-sized settlements.
Using the medium-sized settlement’s nearly ten thousand human evolvers and tens of thousands of humans in the enhancement stage to elevate the Desert Wolf Pack’s strength by a whole level.
And coincidentally...
Oasis Town is currently at an extremely fragile critical period.
If the Li Family and other local families do not start a rebellion and work sincerely with the Oasis Church, joining forces against the beast tide crisis.
Then even if the Desert Wolves possess the strength and scale of a top-tier second-tier influence, they still won’t gain much advantage.
Though human evolvers are individually less powerful than evolvers of the same level Evolutionary Desolate Beasts, in terms of individual numbers and weaponry, human evolvers far surpass the Evolutionary Desolate Beasts that live primitively.
Sadly, the infighting within Oasis Town is intense, compounded by injuries and deaths in the first Tier Two arena competition, the Li Family and Li Hao’s response to the futile death of Li Mingquan will only become more frenzied, stopping at nothing until they achieve their goals.
