Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 578 - 281: Mountain Cover, Delay and Attrition

The second arena battle location is five kilometers away in an open area.

The reason for not choosing a location ten kilometers away like before is that a range of mountains has emerged five kilometers ahead of Oasis Town.

These undulating mountains, although only two to three hundred meters high, make the surface uneven, making it impossible to find a one-kilometer diameter open space.

And the complex environment only provides more obstacles along the way, hindering the smooth conduct of battles.

This terrain suits agile competitors with speed and reaction advantages. For combat types like the Rock Horse Warriors, who rely purely on brute strength to cause destruction, it is difficult to fully unleash their skills.

Li Hao had already suggested earlier that the arena be placed in the open plain within five kilometers.

This way, it is fair to everyone, and it avoids the intense battles impacting the safety of Oasis Avenue.

The main reason is that a mid-tier two-stage Rock Horse Warrior can even unleash a terrifying force of nearly a hundred tons.

Such immense power is enough to move mountains and fill seas, altering mountainous terrain.

A battle of this magnitude could lightly shave off mountaintops and sever ridges, or heavily cause landslides and flying debris.

If a chain reaction is triggered or dislodged boulders accidentally roll onto Oasis Avenue among the mountains, it would significantly impact the safe passage of Oasis Town, especially the Oasis Battleship. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Choosing an arena on flat ground is much safer, as long as no thermal weapons are used, it’s difficult to affect Oasis Town five kilometers behind.

As for the church, Lord Bishop and Father Su An, after some discussion, also agreed to Li Hao’s proposal.

The main crisis is the attack from the Desert Wolf Race on the outskirts, with tens of thousands of evolved Desolate Wolves already surrounding Oasis Town. They use the mountains as cover, hiding among them, making it impossible to defend against them.

If the duel site were chosen in the mountains, it would be difficult to observe and respond quickly to when the Desert Wolves launch an attack.

Additionally, as Oasis Town is about to enter the mountains, the Desert Wolf Pack could then use the terrain advantage to charge downhill, storming into the settlement.

The advantageous mountainous terrain is also very suitable for the agile Desert Wolf Pack, allowing them to use the hills as cover to cleverly dodge human long-range fire suppression.

But on the open wilderness, the Desert Wolf Pack would be forced to expose themselves, engaging in a direct confrontation with the humans of Oasis Town.

Facing the firepower strike from the Oasis Battleship and the defense lines organized by Lin Feng.

After both sides reached a consensus, Xu Wanfeng found an open space on the southwest side of the Oasis Battleship to use as the arena.

The number of spectators for this match decreased again compared to before.

Hardly any Hunters or ordinary Deserters were present, only high-ranking Evolvers from the church and several major families.

Mainly because Oasis Town has been moving nonstop for thirteen days, Deserters without vehicles are already exhausted, only barely managing to follow behind Oasis Town.

There are very few teams that manage to get ahead of the Oasis Battleship.

Moreover, battles between Tier Two Evolvers far exceed late Tier One in intensity, posing risks even to those observing nearby.

Evolvers are fine, but for ordinary Deserters in the Enhancement Stage, Tier Two Powerhouses might as well be Supermen to them.

A single finger could easily crush them to death.

The gulf of evolution has thoroughly divided ordinary people and Tier Two beings into two different species.

Their difference is like comparing a newly evolved small reptilian primitive lizard to the apex of reptilian evolution, the dinosaur.

A difference of hundreds of millions of years of evolution.

So even just standing there, the aura of a Tier Two Evolver could make ordinary Enhanced People weak at the knees, trembling all over.

Let alone the intense confrontation between Tier Two Powerhouses.

The terrifying momentum unleashed by both sides could crush ordinary life, stopping hearts instantly, causing sudden death on the spot.

And the scarcity of onlookers not only facilitates the execution of the church’s plan but also allows the Oasis Battleship a clearer view of the battle scene and the Desert Wolf Pack lurking among the mountains, waiting for their chance.

At this moment, in the command control room of the Oasis Battleship, Lin Feng is listening to the introduction from the Great Assistant Priest while handing over the Oasis Key, which he has been safeguarding.

From now on, Lin Feng will no longer hold the Oasis Key, because once Li Hao is dead, the threat to the Oasis Battleship will no longer be from internal local families but from the Desert Wolf Race about to launch an attack.

At that time, Lin Feng needs to leave the Oasis Battleship to the Five Major Villages below, uniting all the townspeople, including some peripheral Deserters, to form a resistance line against the invasion of the Desert Wolf Race.

The other reason for handing over the Oasis Key now is that from this moment, the Oasis Battleship must enter Level 1 combat readiness, all offensive weapons loaded with live ammunition, ready to activate at any moment for battle.

After speaking, the Great Assistant Priest inserted the Oasis Key into the unlock slot to directly engage the highest authority of the battleship.

Then he issued mobilization orders to the combat units hidden on both sides of the ship’s bow and its sides.

Subsequently, this artillery team of over a hundred people immediately entered combat mode.

They began pushing well-maintained cannons to the windows on the ship’s shell, observing the distance with binoculars.
