White Rock City.

The arrival of the embers and the seventh-tier mutated giant tortoise plunged the entire refuge city into panic.

Outside the city gate.

Tens of thousands of refugees fled in all directions like headless flies.

The gates of Baiyan City are tightly closed at this moment.

this means……

They were completely exposed to the seventh-tier mutated beasts, having lost all protection.

Although none of these refugees knew or could discern 'Xiao Ming's' rank, his towering, mountain-like figure and the terrifying, suffocating sense of oppression...

Instinct and intuition told them that this was a natural disaster capable of easily destroying a city of refuge!

especially.

They soon noticed...

Two figures were actually standing on the enormous head of the mutated giant tortoise!

"It's over!"

"More than just that seventh-tier mutated turtle from the Northwest has arrived!"

"There are still two infected!"

"An infected being capable of conquering such a powerful mutated beast..."

"Even the city lord doesn't dare to glance at it!"

Along with the refugees, dozens of White Rock City 'investigators' were also imprisoned outside the city.

They were responsible for registering the information of migrants and letting them into the city.

Strictly speaking, they are genuine 'insiders' of Baiyan City.

but……

Lord Baiyan's actions were incredibly fast.

Before the investigators could even react, the door slammed shut.

now.

They looked at the two men and the tortoise in front of the city gate, their eyes filled with the resignation of waiting for death.

the other side.

The top of the mutated giant tortoise's head.

Yu Jin stood in the howling wind, looking at the tightly closed gates of White Rock City, his brows slightly furrowed.

"What does this mean?"

He wanted to politely ask the city lord of White Rock City for information about the refuge city, but the other party didn't seem to welcome him.
Yu Jin shook his head and looked at the refugees at the city gate who had given up on escaping and were slumped on the ground in despair and fear.

Many of the faces among them were from the Great Xia Dynasty.

But their situation is clearly not good, or rather, it's terrible.

The cruelty of the wasteland is undoubtedly an unbearable torment for ordinary people.

Yu Jin had some idea of ​​what was going on, but when he actually saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.

He was a ninth-level being, but that didn't change the fact that he had transmigrated.

The wasteland is so vast, and the random arrival mechanism of traversing it inevitably means—

No matter how strong I am, I cannot save countless lives in a short period of time.

Not to mention……

Because of the side effects of 'Return to One', I was dizzy for three days right from the start.

"Lord Yu."

Seeing that Yu Jin was silent, Yu Wenbo called out in a low voice.

"how?"

Yu Jin turned his head and looked at Yu Wenbo.

"You, you..."

"I strongly support your becoming the city lord of White Rock City!"

"But I'm worried, Master Turtle... does it really obey your commands completely?"

"What if it—"

Yu Wenbo was interrupted by Yu Jin waving his hand before he could finish speaking.

"What rank is the Lord of Baiyan City?"

"Fifth rank".

"Fifth level?"

Yu Jin frowned, somewhat disappointed.

He is so powerful now!
After being transported to the wasteland, he was no longer subjected to the same oppression he had experienced on Earth.

From the moment he woke up, Ember could sense...

The surging, boundless energy within him reached a level that even he himself could hardly imagine!
The ninth rank is incomparable to the eighth rank!

The reason Yu Jin didn't reveal his ninth-tier aura to Yu Wenbo wasn't because he wanted to foolishly play the 'pretend to be weak' card, but purely because—

He was afraid that if he released his aura, he might accidentally kill Yu Wenbo, an ordinary person who hadn't awakened his powers...

Compared to when we were on Earth.

Ember can now clearly feel—

After the 99% suppression was suddenly lifted, I became extremely unfamiliar with controlling my attribute abilities.

So unfamiliar...

Ember had a feeling that if he used too much force, he could blow up this so-called A3 wasteland planet.

Of course, he knew it was just an illusion.

The reason why Ember didn't rush to Dawn City but instead made a detour to White Rock City was that he also wanted to 'test' his abilities.

but……

Level five?

Yu Jin was worried that he hadn't exerted enough force yet, and that city lord's ashes would all be gone.

the other side.

Yu Wenbo's eyes widened when he heard Yu Jin's mutterings.

"Fifth level?"

"Fifth rank isn't enough?"

He looked down at the giant tortoise at his feet.

He looked up again at Yu Jin, whose face was filled with melancholy.

"Oh shit!"

"I thought you were only good at environmental protection, but I didn't expect you to be even better at showing off!"

Yu Wenbo silently complained to himself.

But outwardly, he nodded in deep agreement.

"Yeah yeah!"

"Fifth-tier is too weak; it's utterly insignificant in front of City Lord Yu!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin turned and glanced at Yu Wenbo again.

He smiled.

Yu Jin guessed part of Yu Wenbo's thoughts, but he was too lazy to explain.

From Yu Wenbo's perspective, it is indeed difficult to understand.

But it's okay.

You'll understand in a bit.

As Yu Jin pondered this, he looked at the tightly closed gates of White Rock City not far away.

He was considering what ability to use.

In principle...

No matter what ability Yu Jin uses, he can still wipe out a fifth-tier city lord along with his ashes.

But there's a problem.

There were other refugees in the city, and Yu Jin couldn't control his strength. He was worried that he might accidentally destroy White Rock City...

boom--!
Just as Yu Jin was struggling with his decision.

The tightly closed gates of Baiyan City suddenly opened again.

"Eh?"

Yu Wenbo was extremely surprised.

"A seventh-tier tortoise is attacking, and instead of avoiding it, the fifth-tier city lord is taking the initiative to fight it?"

The thought had barely formed in Yu Wenbo's mind when it was immediately extinguished.

I saw——

The gate to Baiyan City opened a tiny crack.

then……

Boom-!
dong dong——!
One after another, refugees were thrown out of there!
Their faces were filled with despair.

Obviously.

News of the seventh-tier mutated behemoth attacking with infected creatures has spread throughout White Rock City.

The White Rock City Lord's countermeasure was—

They used refugees as human sacrifices in an attempt to get rid of the seventh-order mutated giant tortoise.

after all……

Once the mutated beasts have filled their stomachs, they lose their desire to attack White Rock City.

This is common sense that countless refugee city lords in the wasteland know and are good at utilizing.

"Ah--"

Ember smiled.

He didn't rush to make a move, but simply stood on the head of the mutated giant tortoise.

even……

He even deliberately made the giant tortoise 'roar' twice.

thump—

dong dong——!
The giant tortoise's roar caused even more refugees to be thrown out.

to the end.

The refugees were even forced to line up, pouring out of the city gates like zombies.

Time passes little by little.

It didn't take long.

The city gates of the refuge city were crowded with people.

Looking around, there were nearly 100,000 displaced people.

"Lord Yu!"

"The total number of refugees in Baiyan City is less than 100,000..."

"They've thrown all the refugees, especially those from our Blue Star, out of the city to 'die'!"

Yu Wenbo shouted, his tone extremely angry.

Ember crossed his arms and watched silently. Until the very end.

He even shouted into White Rock City.

"Anymore?"

Ember's voice wasn't loud, but it could be heard in every corner of White Rock City.

The city lord and others in Baiyan City were immediately thrown into chaos.

"It can speak human language and possesses intelligence; it's truly a high-level infected!"

"I don't know why he's not dark-skinned..."

"But an infected entity that can keep that seventh-tier giant tortoise so calm must be at least seventh-tier, or even possibly eighth-tier!"

Lord Baiyan was pale.

After a brief two-second hesitation.

He made a decision.

"throw it out!"

"Except for the guards, all the other commoners should be thrown out!"

"Once they've eaten their fill, they'll naturally leave, and the crisis in White Rock City will be resolved!"

Boom-!
dong dong——!
Outside Baiyan City.

More refugees were thrown out.

Among them were even many former 'subjects' of White Rock City.

They were loyal to the Lord of Baiyan City, but when the crisis came, they suffered the same fate of being sacrificed as other refugees.

"Gone?"

After waiting a few more minutes, they saw that no more refugees were being thrown out of the city.

Yu Jin felt a slight sense of relief.

Just to be on the safe side, he activated 'Light Touch' to take a look at the situation inside the city.

Less than a thousand people remain in Baiyan City.

And all of these nearly a thousand people exuded the aura of evolved beings.

Clearly, they were all direct descendants of the Lord of Baiyan City, the core group he preserved after his 'drastic measures'.

"very good!"

Yu Jin nodded in agreement.

In this way, he can unleash his potential and test his abilities without pressure.

"Lord Yu, Lord Yu?"

"Should we start?"

Yu Wenbo was both nervous and excited at this moment.

Should I go downstairs?

"Should we send Lord Turtle to storm the city gates?"

Yu Wenbo inquired.

Yu Jin shook his head.

next moment.

He raised his right hand and pointed to White Rock City.

"I'll break down the city gate first."

"I would like to politely ask Lord Baiyan City for some advice."

The embers muttered to themselves.

"?"

"you……?"

Yu Wenbo looked bewildered.

Om-!
next second.

Yu Wenbo then heard the surrounding air vibrate violently.

He saw...

From all directions, countless 'spots of light' began to converge on the embers.

More precisely—

It was the slender, long finger that reached out to him that converged.

this moment.

Yu Wenbo felt that time seemed to pass quickly, yet also seemed to stagnate.

After a moment of confusion.

He was bewildered to realize that it was dawn.

"?"

Yu Wenbo looked up at the sky.

The sun in the wasteland world is still obscured by dark clouds.

He looked down and then at the embers.

then……

He witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life!
A tiny point of light suddenly appeared at the tip of Yu Jin's finger.

The light spot was as small as a grain of rice, yet it emitted a light more dazzling than the sun overhead!

Om-!
Just for a moment.

The point of light expanded rapidly, like a balloon!

Om-!
Yu Wenbo didn't even have time to see what happened in that short second.

He only saw—

From the tip of Yu Jin's finger, a beam of light with a diameter of 100 meters burst forth!

Whoosh-!
A beam of light roared out.

It was just a fleeting moment.

It landed directly on the tightly closed gates of White Rock City.

Boom——!
The massive steel gate didn't even last a fraction of a second before being melted by the light.

After that...

Behind the city gate, the nearly one thousand figures gathered in front of the city lord's mansion were also submerged by the pillar of light.

"what--"

Yu Wenbo saw that the fifth-tier city lord, whom he had once looked up to, had vanished into nothingness under the 'pillar of light' before he could even let out a scream.

A beam of light, hundreds of meters in diameter, pierced through the entire White Rock Refuge City like a bullet, melting and dissipating all obstacles it encountered!
The surrounding area, spanning dozens of miles, lost its color because of this dazzling light!
"Woooo..."

The seventh-tier mutated giant tortoise beneath their feet trembled incessantly.

"..."

Yu Jin sighed as he watched this scene.

He swore—

He really only wanted to blast open the city gates of the refuge city, but he didn't expect to blow up the people as well.

"I didn't even use any force..."

Yu Jin's tone carried a hint of frustration.

He deliberately chose the weakest first-tier ability, 'laser,' and used only one-tenth of his strength.

"pity."

"I was originally going to ask how to upgrade the refuge city..."

Yu Jin muttered to himself, looking ahead.

Behind the city gates of the refuge city, where can one still see the figure of Lord Baiyan?

Some people, once missed, are gone forever.

the other side.

Yu Wenbo listened to Yu Jin's self-talk and was completely stunned.

Damn...

Baiyan City was completely destroyed, and you call that 'not putting in enough effort'?

"Yu Wenbo".

Ember shouted.

Puff-!
Yu Wenbo's knees buckled, and he knelt down.

"..."

Yu Jin was a little speechless, but didn't want to waste any more time.

Just now, he suddenly received a call from Neil, saying that... Dawn City was in considerable trouble.

Therefore, he had to rush back to Dawn City immediately.

"You can manage Baiyan City for me for now."

"Xiaoming, you assist him."

Yu Jin looked at Yu Wenbo and the seventh-tier mutated turtle and made arrangements.

"Uh-huh!"

The man and the tortoise nodded vigorously.

And Yu Jin took a step forward.

Flying Thunder God!
boom--!
Thunder rumbled.

His figure disappeared on the horizon in an instant.

Before leaving.

He didn't forget to send a 'purifying light' to the stunned refugees outside the city gates.

I also left a 'coordinate mark' on the spot so I could easily travel back anytime.

The top of the giant tortoise's head.

Yu Wenbo stared in the direction where the embers had disappeared, speechless for a long time.

He turned his head stiffly, like a puppet, to look at the huge hole in Baiyan City, blasted open by the 'light', with a diameter of a hundred meters.

as well as……

Outside the gates of Baiyan City, there were nearly 100,000 refugees even more bewildered than him.

a long time.

Yu Wenbo looked down at his feet.

He felt a sense of existential crisis.

We've all just traveled here from Earth.

I haven't even awakened yet, but Ember seems to be at max level?

"Brother Turtle..."

Do you have any clues?

The seventh-tier mutated turtle, Xiaoming, whimpered and responded in a low voice:

"Turtle... I'm scared..."
