Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 261 259 Wasteland
"Mother, Mother! Mother!!"

A petite figure wandered the dimly lit street, calling out to her mother in a childish voice.

"Mother, where are you?"

"Mother, Mother??"

"Ling'er is so scared, so very scared..."

"Mother!!!"

"Mother, where are you?"

Lights could be seen in the houses along the road, and shadowy figures could be seen moving behind those windows.

"Oh, little girl, can't find your way back?"

On the street, just as the child was searching for her family, a voice suddenly rang in her ears, making her instinctively look at the person.

That's Wang Wu, of course, and his animal friends... no, his three teammates.

"Oh, there's a child here."

Wang Wu looked at the child in front of him expressionlessly and said.

Then, Wang Wu raised his hand, and a beam of light shot out from his fingertip. The next moment, the child disappeared in front of them.

"Haha, it looks just like it."

Watching the child disappear without a trace, Wang Wu laughed heartily, then put his hands on his hips and looked at the houses on both sides.

"What did you see?" Li Quan asked from beside him.

"It's nothing," Wang Wu turned around, "I just feel a sense of familiarity with the environment here."

This place was a street very similar to his hometown on Earth, giving him a sense of home. However, he didn't plan to share this with his teammates, because it wouldn't make a difference; they weren't from his hometown.

"Those civilians, those surviving civilians, are you sure they are here?"

At this moment, Xuan Youzi also asked Wang Wu. After glancing at her, Wang Wu replied:
"That was the child from earlier."

“But you killed her!” Xuan Qingzi interjected.

"Shut up!" Wang Wu glared at her. "She's turned into a monster, why shouldn't I kill her? Should I keep her alive?"

"She is no longer human!"

"Then, where are the others? Where are they?"

“I’m looking for it.” Wang Wu looked around. “I only know it’s roughly in this area, but I’m not sure exactly where.”

"Should we split up and search separately?"

Li Quan suggested, "Let's pair up, and then..."

“I don’t think it’s appropriate.” Wang Wu shook his head. “This place is dangerous. There’s no need to do something unwise at this time.”

The mission wasn't particularly difficult. In fact, Li Quan's suggestion to split up wasn't a bad idea. However, Wang Wu was always a very timid and cowardly person. Whenever he was on a mission, unless it was absolutely necessary to separate, he would always stay with the main force.

As for commanding the team, he was mostly not responsible for that, because he was never the strongest member of the team.

His master, or rather the department of the Qionglan Sect responsible for assigning missions to its members, treated him quite well, allowing him to always find a powerful ally for each mission. Of course, Wang Wu didn't always have a powerful ally to rely on for every mission; sometimes he himself was the powerful ally.

However, those tasks were all very easy and would not put Wang Wu in any danger.

In the Qionglan Sect, the higher the difficulty of the mission, the more merit points you can obtain, and the more merit points you have, the faster you can advance within the sect.

Of course, that's not all. Merit points can bring many other benefits, and these benefits are very appealing to Wang Wu...

Well, he wasn't that envious. In this respect, Wang Wu was quite indifferent.

However, no matter how laid-back he is, he can't avoid doing tasks when it's time to do them. Although he can make his tasks easier with his family's 'connections,' and the teammates he's assigned are more reliable, he can often rely on strong teammates.

But ultimately, if you want to go further, you still have to work hard.

If you don't work hard, you won't be able to get many things, and your promotion speed will be much slower.

"You're not like you usually are in the training ground; you're quite conservative now," Li Quan said with a smile.

“The training ground is the training ground, and this is this place. The two places are different.” Wang Wu glanced at the other person. “I won’t really get killed in the training ground, but if I die here, I’m really dead.”

As he spoke, Wang Wu continued searching for places where the survivors might be, then he paused for a moment.

"how……"

"what happened?"

Li Quan asked.

"It's a little weird."

Wang Wu strode forward, taking a single step that instantly covered a vast distance, several kilometers.

Several teammates immediately followed, and none of them fell behind.

This isn't anything special about this place; it's simply a skill that Wang Wu possesses.

Shrinking the earth to an inch is a common skill in fantasy stories, and Wang Wu certainly knows it too.

Wang Wu quickly advanced a considerable distance through this area; in terms of distance, he had traveled at least hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Even so, he still couldn't get out of the street.

The True World is a very strange place where all sorts of things can happen, and often you simply can't get out of a place.

Or perhaps they just keep going around in circles, never truly leaving.

The situation Wang Wu and his group are currently facing is that the surrounding environment is moving along with them.

"Damn it, I'm wondering what's going on."

Upon realizing this, Wang Wu stopped, looked at the unchanged surrounding environment, and cursed.

Then, he looked at Xuan Youzi and said, "Senior sister, I'm counting on you."

Xuan Youzi nodded, then walked up to Wang Wu and drew a symbol in the air.

"go with!"

As she spoke, the space she had previously drawn began to tear apart, and then a long sword flew out from it.

"go with!"

She called out again, and the long sword shot straight into the sky before turning into a white streak and falling back down.

A white line appeared between the sky and the earth, connecting the two.

Then it exploded.

A burst of light erupted, quickly engulfing everything around it.

This is a magical artifact specially made by the Qionglan Sect for use in the True Realm. It is made of special materials and can have an extremely powerful effect in the environment of the True Realm.

Furthermore, these individuals were even capable of completely severing this entire space from the True World, allowing it to return to the normal world.

Of course, that kind of magical artifact wouldn't be used here.

The weapon that Xuan Youzi is manipulating has only one purpose: destruction.

It completely destroyed the surrounding environment.

Of course, the True World cannot be destroyed, but it can be expelled, so this is actually expulsion.

However, using the word "destruction" to describe it wouldn't be entirely wrong.

The dazzling white light followed for a long time, and when the light dissipated, the place where everyone was instantly transformed.

That was a wasteland, an endless wasteland.
