Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 128 - 116: Spaceship? Tier Seven Mutant Mice? What Kind of Wasteland Is This!

Chapter 128: Chapter 116: Spaceship? Tier Seven Mutant Mice? What Kind of Wasteland Is This!

Blue Star, Daxia.

Jiangcheng University.

Male dormitory building.

Tang Yunxuan stared at the helmet placed on the table before him, his eyes full of confusion.

"How could it be?"

"The crossing is over, how come the helmet popped up again?"

This helmet, Tang Yunxuan was all too familiar with, was exactly the internal testing helmet of the ’Wasteland’ game.

The cataclysm, or rather before the crossing happened, he stared at the helmet for two days straight.

"Details, patterns, material, texture..."

"Identical!"

Tang Yunxuan repeatedly confirmed, arriving at a conclusion.

"Should I wear it?"

"What will happen if I wear it?"

"Will there be a hundred percent crossing again?"

Various thoughts intertwined in Tang Yunxuan’s mind.

He looked up, gazing out the window.

The sky remained somber.

After the cataclysm, Blue Star’s population halved, technology withered, energy paralyzed.

To this day, order has not been restored.

This is because...

After the cataclysm, Blue Star’s animals and plants mutated, evolving toward the direction of mutant beasts and infected bodies from the ’Wasteland’ game.

Just like that three-colored mutant cat downstairs that was startled just now and retreated.

Before the cataclysm, it was loved by everyone, willing to nuzzle up to you if you fed it a piece of sausage.

After the cataclysm, people were fearful of it, students were afraid of being devoured by it like a sausage.

The most fatal thing is...

Animals mutated, plants mutated.

But humans didn’t mutate!

Can’t say completely none.

Tang Yunxuan discovered in the past two days that a few sickly survivors, with extremely poor constitution, occasionally started emitting black fog...

Four days ago.

Since absorbing the energy crystal, eating mutated beast meat, and becoming an evolver, Tang Yunxuan actively left the male dormitory building to rescue classmates on the Jiang University campus.

Four days of time.

Tang Yunxuan saved many people and placed them all inside this male dormitory building.

At the same time.

He also took people daily to the university dining hall and shops to collect food and water.

During the period.

Tang Yunxuan accidentally discovered that a dozen members of the Environmental Protection Club also received crystal airdrops from ’Yu City Lord’ like himself.

They boldly used the crystals and became evolvers just like him.

The difference is.

Tang Yunxuan is now a Tier Three Evolver, while they are still just Tier Two.

"Phew—"

Tang Yunxuan took a deep breath, retracting his gaze from the window.

For some reason.

He always vaguely felt...

The sun in the sky seems to become less bright as time goes by.

"Wear it!"

Tang Yunxuan made his decision.

A moment later.

Tang Yunxuan’s vision fell into darkness.

[Would you like to log into the ’Wasteland’ world, starting afresh for survival in the apocalypse?]

"Yes!"

This time, Tang Yunxuan chose bravery.

...

...

Woo—

Woola—!

Tang Yunxuan opened his eyes, consciousness returning to his body.

Wind, strong wind, blowing, whipping up dust and gravel from the ground.

"Hiss—"

"So cold!"

"Is the wasteland really this cold?"

Tang Yunxuan shrank his body, despite being a Tier Three Evolver now, he still felt cold?

"Eh?"

Tang Yunxuan suddenly noticed that the energy within him seemed much stronger and abundant compared to when he was on Blue Star.

"Hasa!"

He raised his hand, waving it forward.

Shoo—!

The light blue wind blade whizzed out.

"Hey!"

Tang Yunxuan beamed with joy.

Compared to when he was on Blue Star, traversing to the wasteland seemed to have completely liberated his strength.

"A hundred times?"

"It’s definitely dozens of times stronger..."

Tang Yunxuan instantly gained confidence, starting to explore boldly in all directions.

Based on the information broadcasted in the news back then, a Tier Three Evolver may not be very strong, but compared to ordinary people, they undoubtedly possess quite considerable self-preservation abilities.

"Perhaps I should find a nearby refuge city."

"Wonder where Old Yu’s Dawn City is?"

Thought Tang Yunxuan, choosing a direction and starting to proceed head-on.

Just.

After a while.

He discovered something off.

"No..."

"Something’s off, very much off."

Tang Yunxuan looked up, gazing towards the sky above.

With just one glance.

He froze in place.

Starry sky!

Within his sight, was an entire magnificent starry sky!

If it were only a starry sky, there wouldn’t be much of an issue...

But the problem is!

"What the hell are those ships one by one?"

"What the hell..."

"Where the heck have I been brought to?"

"Old Yu and the news broadcast never said the wasteland had friggin’ spaceships!"

Tang Yunxuan’s mentality crumbled.

His intuition told him that this internal testing seemed to have billions of differences from what he imagined.

Swoosh—!

At this moment.

In front of Tang Yunxuan, space rippled, and a slightly bewildered-looking girl, with disheveled hair, appearing only seventeen or eighteen years old, emerged out of nowhere.

"Ah..."

"Is this the wasteland?"

The girl dazedly surveyed the surroundings, finally fixing her gaze on Tang Yunxuan.

"..."

Tang Yunxuan remained silent, merely shielding the girl behind him.

He realized this girl was likely just like him, only newly arrived from wearing the internal testing helmet.

"Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you."

Tang Yunxuan said without looking back, then focused on a few meters away, at the ugly mutant rat emerging from underground.

Although, Tang Yunxuan couldn’t discern the tier of this mutant rat.

Nonetheless, rats are usually the lowest tier creatures, and their tier couldn’t be that high.

Most importantly...

"Watch closely!"

Tang Yunxuan launched an attack, charging at the Mutant Rat.

The Gale Force roared incessantly around him.

"Wow—!"

The girl covered her mouth, exclaiming in surprise. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

She hadn’t expected this youth, who seemed like a fool, to actually be an Evolver with awakened superpowers!

Bang—!

Tang Yunxuan was flung backward.

"Ah—!"

Tang Yunxuan screamed miserably.

Zzzla—!

Tang Yunxuan was torn in half by a single claw of the Mutant Beast, dying.

"..."

The girl went dumb.

But in the next second.

Whiz—!

Her vision also plunged into darkness.

Facing the Tier Seven Mutant Beast, she didn’t even have time to feel pain before dying and restarting.

...

...

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

Tang Yunxuan took off the helmet, cursing non-stop.

He thought he could pull off a grand display in front of the girl, only to end up with a grand wreck.

"What tier was that Mutant Rat even?"

"Me, a dignified Tier Three Wind Attribute Evolver, taken out in one hit?"

Tang Yunxuan was frustrated.

"This time it was just bad luck."

Not long after.

He reached his conclusion and put the helmet back on.

[Would you like to log into the "Wasteland" world, and start the apocalypse survival from zero?]

...

The familiar land, the familiar starry sky.

What he saw was exactly the same as the previous scenes.

Except this time.

In front of Tang Yunxuan, there appeared not only the young girl but also a middle-aged man with a serious expression and a square face.

Tang Yunxuan’s eyes lingered on the man for an extra two seconds.

For some reason, he felt the man somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Whiz—!

The sound of wind breaking suddenly echoed.

Tang Yunxuan, the girl, and the middle-aged man instantly plunged into darkness.

This time the restart after death was even faster, more unexpected than the first.

...

...

Drake-3 Wasteland Star System.

A streamlined Micro Interstellar Spaceship, resembling a droplet, quietly sails through the starry sky.

In the foremost cabin of the spaceship.

Carol Yalikosis stood straight, gazing at the vast deep space outside the porthole.

She wore a tattered yet still dignified military uniform, with the Fleet Commander’s insignia engraved on the dark silver alloy shoulder armor.

Beep—

Beep beep—

The crisp mechanical alert sounds echoed constantly inside the spaceship’s cockpit.

Though small in size, this S-680 Interstellar Spaceship still had its functions fairly complete.

Carol had activated the ’Detection’ module early on, scanning for potential uninhabited planets within the star realm.

In the vast and boundless Wasteland Star System, there were numerous planets.

Yet truly suitable for occupation were few and far between.

The majority of planets come with exceedingly high levels of pollution; not to mention occupation, even a high-tier evolver would struggle just to approach or land on them.

Moreover, a significant portion of the planets were teeming with Star System-Level Mutant Beasts or Infected Nests.

Such planets could only be conquered and occupied by large interstellar refuge fortresses.

Currently, Carol is alone, with only this micro spaceship, able to occupy only as yet undiscovered planets with lower pollution levels.

"Hm?"

Carol looked at the green light suddenly appearing on the star map’s detection projection and uttered softly.

"An actual uninhabited planet?"

"And the pollution level is only 30%?"

Her slightly heroic brows revealed intense joy.

"Blessing from the Lord!"

Carol murmured.

Just a while ago, she had promised the Lord to occupy an uninhabited planet for him, acquire Source Points, and improve her ranking.

Little did she expect, within less than a day, she actually encountered this million-to-one chance!

Yes, million-to-one!

A planet with such pollution levels is rarer and more precious than an oasis in the desert!

"Lock the coordinates, prepare for full power, continuous jump!"

After a brief moment of joy, Carol’s face returned to seriousness and austerity.

She issued a command to the spaceship’s artificial intelligence.

Whiz—!

The S-680 Micro Interstellar Spaceship vanished on the spot.

When it reappeared, it was deeper into the starry sky.

Whiz whiz—!

After several consecutive jumps.

The spaceship’s energy was almost depleted.

Standing by the porthole, Carol’s face showed a trace of uncontrollable excitement.

"It really is an uninhabited planet!"

"Detection shows..."

"There are even large deposits of crystal ore resources, although the energy intensity is all low-tier crystals, it’s still enough to earn considerable Source Points for the Lord!"

After a while.

Carol controlled the spaceship, successfully landing on the planet.

Boom—!

The roar of the spaceship’s engines shook the surrounding area for miles.

Countless mutant rats burrowed out from underground.

From a glance, they were densely packed, quite frightening.

"Heh—"

Carol stepped out from the cabin.

"Even Tier Seven ants dare to show their faces?"

She sneered, drawing an Energy Dagger from her waist.

Zz—!

Carol swung the blade.

A thousand-meter-long energy beam descended from the sky, as if intending to slice the planet in half!

Carol didn’t use attribute energy, as mere Tier Seven Mutant Rats weren’t worth such an effort.

However...

After a large group of mutant rats met their demise.

Carol’s expression suddenly changed.

"Hm?"

"There are other human life forms on this planet?"

At the same time.

Thousands of kilometers away from the spaceship.

Tang Yunxuan and the others stood dazed after another restart.

"That, what was that?"

"A spaceship?"

"A thousand-meter light saber?"

"And mice that instantly kill us upon showing themselves!"

"What the hell... Just what kind of wasteland is this!"
