Chapter 98 Holy crap, Magneto... Auntie? (Bonus chapter for 500-3000 monthly votes~)

Blue Star, Daxia.

| State, survivor base.

Surrounded by several short-haired women, Cao Fang sat in the tent, hugging her knees and lost in thought.

Five days have passed since the disaster occurred.

Old Yu, Yu Jin, and Yu Chen all transmigrated to the wasteland.

She stayed behind alone.

"Hey--"

Cao Fang sighed.

She missed Old Yu and her two sons terribly, but...

She really didn't dare go to that wasteland world alone.

Just hearing Yu Jin's description was terrifying to her.

and--

In such a vast wasteland, if she were to accidentally travel to an extremely distant place, her fate could be very tragic.

Women are different from men.

Cao Fang had watched many TV dramas about the War of Resistance against Japan, and was deeply traumatized by this subject.

She wasn't narcissistic, but rather clear-headed.

In a post-apocalyptic world, women, regardless of age, are a resource.

"Aunt Cao."

The tent was pulled back, revealing a young woman with slightly dark skin and a neat short haircut, who called out softly.

"Oh dear, Ah Zhen."

"You don't need to keep this old hag company. Go ahead and do your work. Isn't it chaotic outside? You have to drive away monsters and rescue survivors..."

Although Cao Fang was traditional, she was not ignorant of the bigger picture.

"It's alright, Auntie."

"I've come to keep you company and chat with you, so you won't feel bored or restless by yourself..."

A woman named 'Ah Zhen' sat down next to Cao Fang.

"You……"

Cao Fang sighed, knowing she couldn't persuade him otherwise.

Time passes slowly.

An old man and a young man were chatting.

Cao Fang heard a lot about what happened after the disaster from A-Zhen.

Mutant beasts, infected beings, sources of contamination...

Cao Fang was timid and felt scared just listening to it.

But at the same time, he was also more worried about Old Yu and his two sons who had traveled to the wasteland.

"If only time travel didn't take me to a random location..."

"In that case, if I travel through time with Xiao Jin and Xiao Chen and we really encounter any danger, this old woman can risk her life to protect them."

Cao Fang is gentle by nature, but she is strong when she becomes a mother.

"Eh?"

Suddenly.

Cao Fang let out a soft exclamation.

She felt something strange happening to her body...

"What's wrong, Auntie?"

Ah Zhen, being professionally trained, immediately noticed Cao Fang's unusual behavior and tensed up instantly.

Simultaneously.

She quickly pulled open the tent and shouted in a certain direction, "Medical team, emergency medical team, come to tent number 1 immediately!"

just.

The voice just fell.

boom--!
The tent with its steel frame suddenly rose into the air.

"!"

Ah Zhen stood there, frozen in place.

Cao Fang stared blankly down at her hand.

Just now……

She instinctively waved her hand, and the tent flew away.

Not only that.

Om-!
With a single thought from Cao Fang, the steel frame of the tent began to twist and collapse.

In no time at all.

The steel support frame disappeared, replaced by a... fried rice spatula in Cao Fang's hand.

"?"

Ah Zhen was stunned.

The medical team that had rushed over from a short distance was stunned.

Inside the base, the disheveled and wretched survivors were all stunned.

"Holy crap—"

"Magneto... Auntie?"

……

……

Wasteland, Planet A3.

The night passed.

On the ultra-luxurious ten-meter-long bed, Yu Jin opened his eyes.

call--

He exhaled a long breath.

"Just one step away!"

Yu Jin's heart stirred, and he checked his own stats.

After a night of taking crystal supplements, all the coefficients have increased from 80 to 99.

Yu Jin could sense that with another ninth-tier crystal, he should be able to break through to the tenth tier.

"Tenth rank..."

"Planet A3 may have had ninth-tier beings in the past, but it definitely never had tenth-tier evolvers, right?"

As Yu Jin pondered this, a strange feeling inexplicably arose in his heart.

Getting to where I am today is all thanks to staying up all night and taking crystal supplements; all I see is sweat and hard work.

"Your Excellency, the City Lord..."

Naya's soft, sweet voice rang out from behind.

Ember turned his head and looked at the little girl from the planet Moore.

"Nyarko, I hope you can also contribute to Dawn City."

"Nyarlathotep begs you—"

"Allow Naya to join the expedition!"

As she finished speaking, Naya raised her head, her delicate face showing a touch of adorable stubbornness.

The night passed.

She could clearly sense that Yu Jin was much stronger than yesterday.

perhaps……

It looks like it's stronger than two Nyarlathotep?
"Row."

Yu Jin had improved considerably and was in a good mood, so he immediately agreed.

……

……

Dawn City.

Outside the city gate.

150,000 refugees stood in a vast, swarming crowd.

Despite the distribution of over 100,000 crystals the day before yesterday, not all refugees have successfully awakened.

Fortunately, since the lowest level crystal used was Tier 1, only a very small number of those who failed to awaken died. Most of them suffered a lot of pain for nothing and did not leave many other side effects.

Today, Dawn City possesses—

First-tier evolved beings, 30,000 people

Forty thousand second-tier evolved beings.

Five hundred Tier 3 Evolvers.

Fourth-order evolvers, Yin Yao and Chen Gang.

Neil, a fifth-order evolved being.

There are no sixth or seventh tiers, but there is Nyarlathotep for the eighth tier.

as well as……

The embers of the ninth rank.

"The number of evolved beings has increased, but their quality..."

"That's almost true."

“Especially in the fourth, fifth, and sixth tiers, there is almost a gap.”

can only say.

Two days is still too short.

The reason there are 40,000 second-tier evolvers today is because Ember issued 40,000 second-tier crystals, which allowed ordinary citizens to awaken and advance in one step.

Yu Jin shook his head and took a deep breath.

Swish-!
Lightwing lv9!

The hundred-meter-long wings of light stretched out, almost illuminating the early morning sky as if it were midday.

The city gate.

At the front of the crowd, Chen Gang stared at the wings of light behind Yu Jin, his mouth practically watering.

Which man could resist such a 'show-off' ability?

Let alone 100 meters.

Even though it was just a meter of light wings, Chen Gang thought it was incredibly cool!
In the sky.

Yu Jin's gaze swept over the subjects below.

He has already arranged for Yin Yao and Neil to distribute today's expedition plan.

Now, it's up to me, the city lord, to give a small mobilization. "Dawn City—"

Yu Jin raised his hand.

"Loyalty!"

"Loyalty!!"

"..."

Yu Jin watched this scene and nodded in satisfaction.

Putting aside their weak strength, their spirit and energy are still quite impressive.

"Let's go!"

Ember didn't waste any more words.

boom--!
With a flap of light wings on his back, his figure headed east!

"Set out at dawn! Leave no grass alive!"

150,000 refugees shouted and formed three square formations.

The largest formation had more than 100,000 people, of whom 80,000 were unawakened refugees and the remaining 20,000 were first-tier evolvers.

They were all led by Chen Gang and followed Yu Jin eastward.

The other two formations have an equal number of people and evolved beings.

The teams were led by Neil Yinyao and Naya respectively.

The former went south, and the latter went north.

"From this day forward, the name of Dawn City will resound throughout the wasteland!"

Yin Yao and Nier exchanged a deep look with Naya.

Naya remained expressionless, and her chestnut ponytail stopped swaying.

At this moment, she showed absolutely no trace of the adorable and innocent demeanor she displayed in front of Yu Jin.

Despite being only 1.5 meters tall, she exuded an inexplicable aura of strength.

"Set off."

Naya spoke softly.

In order to join Dawn City, she will demonstrate a small part of her abilities today.

The words fell.

The more than 20,000 evolved beings behind her all felt a chill run down their spines.

This little girl...

not simple!
"We must take the refuge city faster than she does."

"That will make our Lord value us even more!"

Neil watched Nyar depart, his voice still mechanical and cold, but a light flickered in his blue eyes.

She has no past emotions or memories.

From the moment she was resurrected, her world consisted only of embers.

"set off!"

"Target: Osaka Castle!"

Yin Yao let out a soft shout, and sand swirled beneath her feet.

She gracefully rose into the air.

Kaka——!
Neil remained silent, simply transforming.

Just a few seconds.

The black mecha, standing over ten meters tall, drew a deep blue laser sword from its waist.

"For my lord!"

"For Dawn City!"

……

……

boom--

Rumble——!
Chen Gang gazed at the figure in the sky above.

Those were embers.

He is...

Indiscriminately kill monsters!
Thunder is rumbling.

Lasers are moving back and forth.

Space, fragmented.

even……

Chen Gang saw it.

The sky suddenly darkened, and meteorites hundreds or even thousands of meters high fell from the sky, plummeting into the depths of the distant earth.

"My Cao..."

"So that's what ninth rank means?"

For a moment, Chen Gang couldn't find the words to describe the shock he felt!
He only knew that the ninth rank was powerful, but he didn't know...

A ninth-tier cultivator can be this powerful!
It's only been a short hour or so.

Ember flew back and forth across the wasteland, wiping out all the mutated beast/infected lairs along its path with a wave of its hand!

How many were killed?
Chen Gang didn't know.

All he knew was...

Leading 100,000 people, they followed behind, collecting crystals and carrying beast meat, but they were simply too busy to keep up!
Yes, the reason why Chen Gang's team is mostly composed of ordinary people is because they are not there to fight, but to 'collect resources'!

In addition to Chen Gang, more than forty members of the environmental protection society, including Wang Yunpeng, were also in this team.

Because of the 'issuance of crystals' and 'disappearance of crystals', they had one less day to improve their abilities by consuming crystals compared to others, and therefore were not assigned to participate in battles.

"This situation..."

"Deja vu?"

Wang Yunpeng carried a sack, stuffing crystals into it while watching the figure in the distant sky with a silent tribute.

“Pick it up!”

"Pick them up like crazy!"

"Even if I die, it will only be from exhaustion from collecting crystals!"

Chen Gang stopped looking up at the sky and instead lowered his head, quickening his movements.

No one knows better than him how to 'collect crystals'.

……

……

"Shouldn't it be about time?"

above the sky.

Yu Jin glanced back.

Chen Gang and his 100,000-strong army had fallen far behind, dozens of kilometers away.

No matter how fast you collect crystals, it can't compare to his speed of killing monsters and clearing the map.

"Any mutated beast/infected creature nests marked on the map along this road have been cleared out."

"What needs to be done next..."

"It's just about finding a few city lords for a friendly exchange."

"Add a few more subordinate cities to Dawn City."

"With the subordinate city secured, Dawn City can be upgraded, and I can break through to the tenth rank!"

Think about this.

Yu Jin was unusually excited.

boom--!
His hundred-meter-long wings of light remained in place, but lightning was already spreading beneath his feet.

Lightwing Lv9 + Flying Thunder God Lv9!

With the speed increasing, only a blurry afterimage could be seen in the sky!

……

……

Guangming City.

This is an ordinary refuge city located east of Dawn City.

The group of refugees that Naya belonged to had also escaped from Bright City and wandered all the way to Dawn City.

"dig!"

"Dig it up hard!"

"If you can't mine the contaminated crystals, you bunch of trash players from Earth, throw you all out to feed the mutated beasts!"

A few kilometers outside of Bright City.

Thousands of ragged, emaciated refugees, heads bowed, dug with their bare hands on the withered earth.

The Lord of Light City was unwilling to distribute even the most basic tools.

after all……

These refugees are just "expendable resources".

boom--!
Suddenly.

A thunderclap boomed in the distance.

The thousands of refugees instinctively flinched at first, then belatedly raised their heads and looked up at the sky in response to the sound.

"That is……"

The refugees opened their eyes wide.

this moment.

What they saw was a beam that stretched across the sky, tens of thousands of meters long and thousands of meters wide...

Lightsaber!

"Ho..."

Some refugees, unable to withstand the hunger and torment any longer, collapsed helplessly to the ground.

He made a strange whimpering sound, and his face forced a stiff, numb smile with a hint of irony.

No one present could survive that terrifying sword strike.

But he wasn't afraid or terrified; instead, he showed a hint of satisfaction.

He looked away from the terrifying lightsaber hurtling towards him from above, and instead looked at the City of Light Refuge a few miles behind him.

"O sinful City of Light..."

"The sword of light, symbolizing judgment, will eventually arrive."

"Hahaha..."
