Wasteland Farming: All About Accumulation

Chen Wangping, who transmigrated to the wasteland, obtained a wasteland farming game system that integrated elements from Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, and Stardew Valley. As long as he accumulat...

Chapter 410: Oil Again

The next day, early morning.

Chen Wangping looked at the situation outside. It was still peaceful and the Divine Weapon Pavilion did not seem to be ready to take action.

He washed up and turned on the radio to listen.

Weather forecast

The temperature near Leilong City will continue to rise tomorrow, with light snow and north wind of level three to four.

【Wasteland Tips】

I heard that in this world, oil can give rise to many strange animals.

【Unspeakable Tips】

Seize any clues and work hard to improve your strength.

The sound of the wind

"Wait two more days. Whether that guy shows up or not, leave him alone."

"I don't believe he doesn't want the people from Heping Pavilion. When the time comes, we'll just lay siege to them. I don't believe he won't show up! He's not afraid of choking to death when he eats my food!"

"I have already activated the formation at the City Lord's Mansion. Just follow the location I gave you when the time comes."

Listening to the discussion of the three people on the radio, Chen Wangping finally understood. No wonder he had seen so many loopholes in the formation before.

Now that I think about it, it turns out that these two commanders are really not idle and have done a lot of things.

Forget it, there is only so much time left. Even if I remind Long Changming, I can’t convince him. I’d better let him do it on his own.

A powerful sixth-level warrior must have a trump card.

Let's use these two precious days to analyze the information given on the radio.

Chen Wangping pondered for a moment. "Oil can give rise to strange animals? Could it be that the oil in Qingshui Town has also given rise to some strange beasts?"

Speaking of oil, it is really a concern for him.

Sulfur is available, but oil is still in short supply, so the manufacturing of processors and integrated circuit boards is stuck.

Now that I have the chance, I might as well go and take a look.

Chen Wangping called the Golden Eagle, sneaked out of the city and rushed towards Qingshui Town.

Qingshui Town is not far from Leilong City, and it takes about twenty minutes to fly there.

After arriving, Chen Wangping found that the situation here was similar to that of Yuanshan Town. There were traces of insect attacks everywhere. There was not a single living person in sight. The village was in ruins. Due to the cold weather, bloodstains were clearly visible. There were also handprints, struggle marks, and explosion marks of people perishing together with the insects.

Chen Wangping took a deep breath. He couldn't protect everyone at the moment, but he had to make sure his own people wouldn't become like this!

After arriving above the Qingshui River, Chen Wangping followed the marks left by Xiao Fang and quickly found the hole where oil had appeared.

Stepping on the ice, he stomped his feet hard and found that the ice here was frozen very solid. While it was safe, it also brought some trouble to excavation.

Chen Wangping was just about to take action when he suddenly remembered the prompt on the radio.

"If there are oil-induced animals here, that means they're hungry for oil, and maybe we can lure them out."

It wouldn't hurt to give it a try anyway, so he took out the black oil he had stored and sprinkled it on the ice, then jumped into the air and waited.

Not long after, Chen Wangping saw many huge creatures covered in black emerging through the ice. Because of the ice, he could only see a black mass and had no idea what they were.

But soon, a few smart people took the lead in hitting the ice with such force and force that white cracks appeared on the ice with just one hit.

In just a few tens of seconds, dozens of river crabs with pitch-black bodies rushed onto the ice, quickly using their large claws to scoop up the oil and put it into their mouths. The more they ate, the darker their bodies became.

And they are not idle when eating. They keep pushing away their nearby companions. If they encounter a smaller one, they will directly smash it to death with a big claw, and then swallow the oil in the body of the small oil crab.

Chen Wangping looked a little surprised, "So brutal?"

He saw that when these big oil crabs hit the small crabs, the small crabs were like balloons filled with oil, which burst when hit. Their shells looked very thin, like dumplings with thick skin and rich fillings.

Chen Wangping was determined to give it a try, so he took out a few more pools of oil and spread them towards other parts of the ice. Soon, four or five groups of oil crabs appeared. The situation was similar to the previous one. They had no resistance to oil and showed no mercy to each other.

It's like a relentless oil machine.

Looking at this situation, Chen Wangping speculated: "Could it be that the oil underneath has been eaten up by oil crabs? Or maybe there are big oil crabs here that have occupied the oil field."

He used oil to lure two oil crabs over, ready to test their strength.

Judging from the radar spots, the strength of these oil crabs is around level four, and I don’t know what their actual combat effectiveness is.

Chen Wangping first took out his submachine gun, loaded it with lightning armor-piercing bullets, and fired.

The bullets flew out, but only left white spots on the oil crabs. Moreover, unlike the octopus encountered in the black oil ruins before, the lightning damage attached to the bullets this time seemed to be useless to the oil crabs.

"This thing is so hard? This is a bit difficult."

Chen Wangping frowned. Although he had more powerful rockets and artillery shells, they were too powerful. It was hard to say whether there would be enough oil left after killing the oil crabs. If the oil was burned and destroyed after the explosion, it would be a waste of time.

He looked at the hard shell of the oil crab and thought that it would be much easier if he could find a way to break the shell.

Looking at the crabs, he suddenly remembered the deliciousness of grilled crabs.

How about trying baking it?

Chen Wangping took out a top-grade flame crystal and dropped it near the oil crab. He first dodged the attack of its claws with an iron bridge, then activated the flame crystal with his backhand and moved closer to the oil crab's shell.

"Sizzle, sizzle"

On oil crabs, the high temperature effect of flame crystals is better than the paralyzing effect of lightning.

After being roasted for a while, the shell of the oil crab began to turn red, but the oil inside had not changed much at this time.

Chen Wangping dodged left and right, trying to control the energy of the flame crystal so that it would not dissipate. Under the continuous burning, the shell of the oil crab finally began to turn white.

When you are grilling crabs, you will know that they are done when you see white spots.

Similarly, Chen Wangping immediately took out his submachine gun and fired ten bullets at the whitish part again.

"Swish swish"

The bullet hit the white crab shell.

This time, the crab shell lost its defensive function.

The bullet easily shattered the crab shell and penetrated into the body of the oil crab.

At this point, the bullet hadn't actually done much damage.

But the oil in the oil crab's body flowed out rapidly along the bullet hole like a hemorrhage. It was like a human being bleeding profusely, staggering and unable to keep balance, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Chen Wangping took back the flame crystal with satisfaction, rushed to the oil, and tried to collect it to see what its properties were.
