I've already reached the maximum level, and you guys are just starting out?

Chapter 118 Spaceship? Seventh-Order Rats? What kind of wasteland is this?! (13 words update~)

Blue Star, Daxia.

Jiangcheng University.

Men's dormitory.

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

"how could be?"

"The time travel is already over, so why is a helmet popping up again?"

Tang Yunxuan was very familiar with this helmet; it was the beta helmet from the game "Wasteland".

Before the cataclysm, that is, before the time travel, he stared at the helmet for two whole days.

"Details, patterns, materials, feel..."

"Exactly the same!"

Tang Yunxuan repeatedly confirmed the information and came to a conclusion.

Should we wear it?

What will happen if I wear it?

Will time travel still happen with a 100% certainty?

Tang Yunxuan's mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts.

He looked up and gazed out the window.

The sky remained dark.

After the cataclysm, Earth's population was halved, technology withered, and energy was paralyzed.

To this day, order has not been restored.

This is because……

After the cataclysm, the animals and plants on Earth mutated in the direction of the mutant beasts and infected creatures in the "Wasteland" game.

Just like that calico mutant cat downstairs that was startled and retreated.

Before the catastrophe, it was loved by everyone; it would rub against you if you fed it a sausage.

After the disaster, it became a source of fear for everyone, and even students were afraid of being shown off as sausages by it.

The most terrible thing is...

Animals have mutated, plants have mutated.

But the person hasn't mutated!
It cannot be said that there is absolutely none.

In the past two days, Tang Yunxuan noticed that several of his sick and extremely weak survivor classmates had started to emit black mist from their bodies...

four days ago.

Since consuming the energy crystal and eating the mutated beast meat, becoming an evolved being, Tang Yunxuan has voluntarily left the men's dormitory to rescue his classmates on the Jiangda campus.

Four days.

Tang Yunxuan rescued many people and settled them all in this men's dormitory building.

Simultaneously.

He also led people to university cafeterias and shops every day to collect food and water.

period.

Tang Yunxuan also unexpectedly discovered that about a dozen members of the environmental protection society had received crystal airdrops from 'Lord Yu', just like him.

They boldly used the crystals and became evolved beings just like themselves.

the difference is.

Tang Yunxuan is now a third-tier evolver, while they are still only second-tier.

"call--"

Tang Yunxuan took a deep breath and turned his gaze away from the window.

Do not know why.

He always had a vague feeling that...

The sun in the sky seems to be getting less and less bright over time.

"Wear!"

Tang Yunxuan made a decision.

After a while.

Tang Yunxuan was plunged into darkness.

[Would you like to log into the Wasteland world and start from scratch to survive the apocalypse?]

"Yes!"

This time, Tang Yunxuan chose to be brave.

……

……

woo-

Whoosh—!
Tang Yunxuan opened his eyes, his consciousness returning to his body.

The wind, a very strong wind, was blowing fiercely, stirring up the sand and gravel on the ground.

"hiss--"

"It's so cold!"

"Is the wasteland this cold?"

Tang Yunxuan shrank back. He was now a third-tier evolver, yet he still felt cold.
"Eh?"

Tang Yunxuan suddenly realized that the energy within his body seemed to be much stronger and more abundant than when he was on Earth.

"Hasa!"

He raised his hand and waved it forward.

Whoosh-!
Pale blue wind blades whistled out.

"Hey!"

Tang Yunxuan beamed with joy.

Compared to his time on Earth, his strength seemed to be completely unleashed after being transported to the wasteland.

"hundred times?"

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

Tang Yunxuan immediately gained confidence and began to boldly explore his surroundings.

According to the information released on the news broadcast at the time, although third-tier evolvers are not very strong, they definitely have a fairly good ability to protect themselves compared to ordinary people.

"Perhaps we should find a nearby refuge town."

"I wonder where Lao Yu's Dawn City is?"

With a clear direction in mind, Tang Yunxuan began to forge ahead.

just.

In no time at all.

He noticed something was wrong.

"wrong……"

"Something seems wrong, absolutely wrong."

Tang Yunxuan looked up at the sky.

Just a glance.

He froze on the spot.

Starry sky!

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of dazzling stars!
If it were just the starry sky, it wouldn't be anything special...

But the problem is!

"What the hell are those spaceships?"

"I'm sorry..."

"What are you doing to me?"

"Neither Lao Yu nor the news broadcast ever mentioned that there are spaceships in the wasteland!"

Tang Yunxuan's mentality collapsed.

His intuition told him that this closed beta test seemed to be quite different from what he had imagined.

Swish-!
at this time.

Before Tang Yunxuan's eyes, the space rippled, and a girl with a slightly bewildered expression and disheveled hair, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, appeared out of thin air.

"what……"

"Is this the wasteland?"

The girl stared blankly around, her gaze finally settling on Tang Yunxuan.

"..."

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

He realized that the girl was probably like him, having just received the helmet for internal testing.

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

Tang Yunxuan said something without turning his head, then looked at a few meters away, at a mutated rat that was crawling out of the ground.

Although Tang Yunxuan couldn't tell what level the mutated rat was.

However, generally speaking, mice are among the lowest-ranking creatures; their rank can't be much higher. Most importantly...

"Alright!"

Tang Yunxuan took the initiative and charged towards the mutated rat.

The power of the gale roared incessantly around him.

"Wow--!"

The girl covered her mouth and gasped in surprise.

She never expected that this seemingly foolish young man was actually an evolved being who had awakened superpowers!
Bang-!
Tang Yunxuan was sent flying backwards.

"what--!"

Tang Yunxuan let out a miserable scream.

Zila——!
Tang Yunxuan was torn in two by a mutated beast's claw and died.

"..."

The girl was stunned.

But next second.

Whoosh-!
Her vision was also plunged into darkness.

Faced with a seventh-tier mutated beast, she didn't even have time to feel the pain before she died and was reborn.

……

……

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

Tang Yunxuan took off his helmet and kept cursing.

He thought he could impress the girl, but instead, he was met with something truly outrageous.

"What level is that mutated rat?!"

"Me, a dignified third-tier wind attribute evolver, was instantly killed in a single exchange?"

Tang Yunxuan was annoyed.

"This time it was just bad luck."

Soon.

He concluded that he should put the helmet back on.

[Would you like to log into the Wasteland world and start from scratch to survive the apocalypse?]

……

The familiar land, the familiar starry sky.

What I saw was exactly the same scene as before.

the difference is.

This time, Tang Yunxuan was greeted not only by the young girl from before, but also by a middle-aged man with a square face and a solemn expression.

Tang Yunxuan's gaze lingered on the man for a couple more seconds.

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

Whoosh-!
The sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out.

Tang Yunxuan, a young girl, and a middle-aged man, were plunged into darkness in an instant.

This time, the re-opening of death was even faster and more unexpected than the first time.

……

……

Drake-3 Wasteland Galaxy.

A streamlined, miniature interstellar spaceship, shaped like a water droplet, silently sails through the starry sky.

Inside the cockpit at the very front of the spacecraft.

Carol Alikos stood ramrod straight, gazing out the porthole at the boundless deep space.

She wore a tattered yet still dignified standard military uniform, with the fleet commander's insignia engraved on the dark silver alloy shoulder armor.

Di-

beep-

Inside the spacecraft's cockpit, crisp mechanical prompts rang out continuously.

Although the S-680 interstellar spacecraft is small in size, it has all the necessary functional modules.

Carol had activated the 'detection' module early on and was detecting any unclaimed planets that might appear in the star field.

In the vast and boundless wasteland galaxy, there are numerous planets.

But very few places are truly suitable for occupation.

Most planets are inherently highly polluted, and even approaching and landing on them would be difficult for advanced evolved beings to withstand, let alone conquering them.

On a significant number of other planets, there are also numerous galaxy-level mutant beasts or infected nests.

Only large interstellar refuge fortresses have the capability to conquer and occupy such planets.

Now, Carol is all alone with only this tiny spaceship, and the only place she has a chance to occupy is an undiscovered, less polluted, unclaimed planet.

"Ok?"

Carol looked at the green dot that suddenly appeared on the star map projection and let out a soft exclamation.

"There really are unclaimed planets?"

"The pollution level is only 30%?"

Carol's slightly heroic brows revealed a deep sense of surprise.

"May the lord be blessed!"

Carol let out a soft gasp.

Not long ago, she had promised the lord that she would conquer unclaimed planets, acquire source points, and improve his ranking.

Unexpectedly, in less than a day, she actually encountered that one in ten million chance!
Yes, one in ten million!

Unclaimed planets with such a level of pollution are even rarer and more precious than oases in the desert!

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

After a brief moment of surprise, Carol's face returned to its serious and cold expression.

She issued commands to the artificial intelligence entity inside the spaceship.

Whoosh-!
The S-680 miniature interstellar spaceship vanished on the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already deep in the starry sky.

Whizzing--!
After several consecutive leaps.

The spaceship's energy was almost completely depleted.

Standing in front of the porthole, Carol's face showed a hint of barely suppressed excitement.

"It really is an unclaimed planet!"

"Detection indicates..."

"There are even a large amount of crystalline mineral resources distributed on it. Although the energy intensity is low-level crystals, it is enough for the lord to earn a considerable amount of source points!"

After a while.

Carol took control of the spaceship and successfully landed on the planet.

boom--!
The roar of the spaceship's engines reverberated for miles around.

Countless mutated rats emerged from underground.

At first glance, it was a huge, frightening sight.

"Ah--"

Carol stepped out of the hatch.

"A seventh-order ant dares to show its face?"

She sneered and pulled an energy dagger from her waist.

Zhi——!
Carol swung her sword and slashed.

A beam of energy, thousands of meters long, descended from the sky, as if to slice the planet in two!

Carol did not use her attribute energy, because a mere group of seventh-tier mutated rats was not worth her doing so.

only……

After a large group of mutated rats screamed and died.

Carol's expression suddenly changed.

"Ok?"

"Are there other human life forms on this planet?"

at the same time.

It was thousands of kilometers away from the spacecraft.

Tang Yunxuan and the others, who had died and been reborn again, still stood there blankly.

"What, what is that?"

"spacecraft?"

"A lightsaber over a thousand meters long?"

"And those mice that peek out will instantly kill us!"

"What the hell is this wasteland?!"
