Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 452 - 225: The Hidden Threat, Single Crystal Glass, Laser Weapon

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s command, Shen Yue immediately halted her steps and turned towards the side exit door.

At the edge of the Upper District, there is a passageway that leaves the topmost layer and leads to the lower levels.

These passageways are relatively spacious, about three meters high and four meters wide. Even wearing power armor, Lin Feng could easily pass through them.

Unlike the narrow and low corridors at the bottom and inside of the battleship, where power armor has no room to maneuver, those are more suitable for combat with light armor.

After entering, Lin Feng quickly led Shen Yue down a more hidden passageway below, heading towards the rear.

Entering the Upper District during daylight, a curfew had already been enforced, with no loud noises allowed to avoid disturbing the rest of the Upper Class.

Only patrol guards are stationed in the outer corridors to prevent anyone from intruding into the top layer or having the Upper Class sneak out from it.

Shen Yue spoke softly:

"The patrol in this corridor is not strict, roughly four squads, patrolling every hour, and they all belong to the Church."

"In fact, there is no fear of outsiders intruding, because reaching the top layer requires navigating the complex passages beneath, and not many can make it this far."

"Besides, the staircases leading from this peripheral passage to the lower levels basically have cameras installed. If any suspicious individuals are found, someone will alert the others."

Lin Feng nodded, aware of the cameras, as there was a team constantly monitoring them from the command control room:

"Let’s go, and keep it down. Don’t alarm the enemy. We’ll go directly from the back of the Oasis Garden."

With the perception ability of a Tier Two Evolver, Lin Feng could easily sense any movement within a hundred meters, leading Shen Yue forward cautiously.

Soon, they stealthily made their way from the bow to the stern’s Oasis Garden and pushed open a small concealed gate, returning to the Upper District.

It was currently the transition time between day and night, and while there was no such concept beneath the Oasis, above it, distinguishing between day and night was emphasized to ensure the health and vigor of the Upper Class’s daily routines.

At the time of transition, the seriousness of patrols is at its laxest, allowing room for enemies to exploit secretly.

Shen Yue noticed this as well, planning to note it down and remind the captain of the combat priest patrols.

The two successfully bypassed the eyes of the Upper District, stealthily arriving at the back of the Oasis Garden, where the administrator responsible for guarding it was just locking the iron gate at the entrance.

The administrator had the strength of a Tier One Late Stage Evolver, and as a staff member of the Upper District, had a higher status than the Upper Class waiting to be sacrificed, avoiding the fate of becoming a sacrificial offering.

Moreover, a Tier One Late Stage Evolver was considered the ticket to the evolutionary hierarchy of the Oasis. Reaching this level ensured a reasonable job and treatment even in the Holy City.

Once the Oasis Town was taken over by the Holy City Diocese and restructured, these managers of various areas would continue to be entrusted with important responsibilities.

Assisting the Church in managing the Oasis.

The bottom-tier enhanced people were slaves and commodities, while ordinary Evolvers were the labor force.

Though the atmosphere on the Oasis Battleship was tense, the focus of contention was on the Oasis Key and the command control room.

Places like the Oasis Garden were usually needed only during the Holy Spring Day’s Moonlit Ceremony, and its personnel had to be evacuated in advance.

During ordinary times, as long as patrolling once confirmed no one’s presence, the gate would be locked and left.

As long as no one from the lower levels broke in from outside, the Upper District generally wouldn’t disturb the garden, especially not the giant light-gathering lens there.

So the more than three hundred years old late-stage evolver, after locking the garden entrance, directly left to return to the apartment for rest.

Lin Feng and Shen Yue hid in the shadowy corner, concealing their presence.

Waiting for the administrator to distance and disappear, they did not act rashly, maintaining silence, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

Those now would not act directly, but rather come to scout the route to the control room beneath the Oasis Garden ahead of time.

During the day, when it’s crowded, all they could do was observe, but only by night when all was silent, could they delve into the surroundings of the giant lens and find the secret entrance.

Lin Feng and Shen Yue thus waited silently, patiently like seasoned hunters.

Quickly, two to three hours later, around 9 PM, Lin Feng sensed several Upper Class people leaving their residences and groping their way towards the garden.

As they approached the garden, Shen Yue, who was resting with her eyes closed, also sensed the presence, suddenly opening her eyes, her gaze wary towards a certain spot.

Lin Feng placed his index finger over his mouth in a shushing gesture, Shen Yue immediately understood, and said no more.

When these people reached the garden’s stairs, quietly feeling their way to the top layer, they used wire tools to open the old iron lock.

They silently pushed the iron gate open, entering the dim garden interior.

Inside the garden at this moment, the light was very dim, the shadows of flower beds and tree foliage silhouetted like black and white cutouts.

In the midst of it, one felt like walking in a midnight forest, eerily shrouded in mysterious enigma.

The giant lens, meant to refract external light, was now flattened, no longer receiving external rays.

The administrator, while closing the Oasis Garden, also drew the window shutters at the battleship’s stern, preventing light from passing through the lens into the Upper District.

Thus, the garden had become the darkest place, with visibility less than ten meters.
