Chapter 126 Wasteland Louis XVI? Torturing Natasha! Level 8 Refuge City! (13 words)

Mangcheng.

Inside and outside the city.

At this moment, there was utter silence.

until...

A buzzing sound rang out.

The figure of Yu Jin returned to the city wall once more.

the difference is.

His ten-meter-long hand gripped the figure in a black and white nun's uniform as if he were grabbing a doll.

"Lady Nasha?!"

Outside the city gate.

Peter Love, the lord of Giant Sun City, screamed in terror.

His eyes widened, and he felt as if all the blood in his body was going to run backwards!

Lady Natasha is an eighth-tier powerhouse!
Can……

This eighth-tier powerhouse, who had clearly abandoned me and turned to run away, was 'caught' back in an instant.

They've really caught them!

Gulu——!
Peter Love swallowed hard.

He finally realized...

It turns out that the terrifying one wasn't the old man who brought thunder, but this young man who had been almost invisible from beginning to end.

"Little Jin?"

the other side.

Old Yu was also quite shocked by this scene.

He finally realized, belatedly, that the earlier thunderstorm was likely the work of his son!

after all……

When the embers shot into the sky, the commotion emanating from the thunderclouds was witnessed by everyone inside and outside Mang City.

"This……"

Luo Yu was completely speechless at this point.

He knew that Yu Jin's luck was terrifying, but he didn't know that the opponent's strength was also so frightening.

"The limit of the eighth order?"

"Ninth level?"

Luo Yu, a seventh-rank cultivator, could not determine the exact level of Yu Jin. He only knew that an eighth-rank expert was like a chick in the hands of this young man, powerless to resist!
even……

Luo Yu was even wondering if Yu Jin might be a ninth-tier evolver who had broken the planet's record!

Ember was unaware of their thoughts, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

His gaze was now fixed on Peter Love.

With the Eye of Insight activated, all information is readily available.

"Beast-like attribute?"

"It's pretty rubbish..."

Having just plundered Austin Natha's wind attribute, the 'Land of the Strong' ability is currently on cooldown.

Yu Jin thought that if Peter Love's attributes were decent, he would spare his life first, and then kill him later.

But now...

Whoosh-!
Yu Jin raised his hand.

A blade of wind whistled out.

I must test out the new ability I just acquired.

"Uh--"

Peter Love opened his eyes wide and let out a sob.

He looked down blankly, only to see the rest of his body.

puff--!
This seemingly ordinary wind blade instantly left him completely baffled.

he……

His head was cut off.

……

……

Mangcheng, the city lord's mansion.

Ember's large hand still gripped Natasha tightly.

"The lack of a binding or similar ability is rather inconvenient."

Yu Jin muttered to himself.

Luo Yu, the lord of Mangcheng, was filled with tension and unease at this moment.

Good news—

Peter Love is dead, and the Evolver Legion has surrendered.

The crisis in Mangcheng was thus resolved.

bad news--

An existence even more terrifying than Peter and the eighth-tier evolver has arrived.

this moment.

Luo Yu was incredibly grateful that he had never harbored any ill will towards Yu Limin, otherwise...

Peter Love is likely not the only one who cosplayed Louis XVI.

"Little, Little Jin."

Although Yu Limin was quite shocked by Yu Jin's strength, they were still father and son, so he didn't feel the same awe as Luo Yu.

He leaned closer to Ember, first glancing at Natasha's pale face, her expression numb and desperate, before finally asking in a low voice:

How are you so amazing?

"It's only been a few days..."

"Eighth rank? Ninth rank?"

"When I asked you before, you said no, you even kept it from your own father?"

talking.

Yu Limin glanced at Luo Yu, who was not far away.

"Your Uncle Luo seems to be a little afraid of you."

"You probably... weren't planning on doing *that* with him, were you?"

Yu Limin sounded a little worried.

He always feels...

Just now outside the city, Ember's action of killing Peter Love was too swift and ruthless.

"Not really."

Yu Jin shook his head, reassuring Old Yu.

After all, Luo Yu had taken good care of Old Yu over the past period of time, and I wouldn't do that out of courtesy or reason.

Being decisive in killing is one thing, being heartless and treacherous is another.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Limin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

at the same time.

Luo Yu, who was not far away, heard the conversation between the father and son and finally relaxed his tense nerves a little.

He is really scared!

Peter Love, also a seventh-tier evolved being, was genuinely terrified by his sudden departure.

Ember's strength has exceeded his expectations.

In a single thought, one can decide their own life or death.

Think of this.

Luo Yu took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Brother Yu!"

He didn't dare to speak directly to Yu Jin, but instead looked at Yu Limin.

"Would you rather be the city lord?"

Upon hearing this, Old Yu froze on the spot.

"City Lord?"

"Who is the city lord?"

……

……

Mangcheng, deep within the city lord's mansion.

Yu Jin looked at Natasha, who was slumped on the ground with a pale and ashen face, and rubbed his chin.

a moment ago.

Luo Yu voluntarily relinquished his position as 'Lord of Mangcheng'.

Old Yu naturally refused. Luo Yu then 'seized the opportunity' to suggest that Yu Jin become the city lord.

Yu Jin stated that he was already the city lord, and that he had come out to acquire several subordinate cities.

Luo Yu instantly understood the meaning of those words.

He immediately led the Evolver Legion out of Mang City in a grand procession.

It was not an escape, but a move to subjugate Peter Love's Great Sun City and its 50 subordinate cities.

He wanted to include Mangcheng and its subordinate cities, and all 100 subordinate cities in area A369, and "offer them as tribute".

"Uncle Luo is a good person, someone I can get along with."

Looking back now, Yu Jin nodded in satisfaction.

Wasteland is not just about fighting and killing; it's also about human relationships and social interactions.

Dawn City also needs talents like Luo Yu.

"Woooo..."

Natasha's soft sobs brought Ember back to reality from his thoughts.

He looked up at the eighth-level expert.

There was no trace of wind-attribute energy left in the other person's body.

The spoils of the strong are extremely domineering; their essence is plunder.

Ember awakened the wind attribute.

As for Natasha, she lost her wind attribute forever.

At this moment, apart from her physique, which is still considered an eighth-tier evolver, Natasha is no longer considered an eighth-tier evolver, or even an evolver, in other aspects.

"Tell me about it."

"Where did it come from?"

"What level is the refuge city it belongs to?"

Yu Jin cut to the chase and asked the question directly.

"Woooo..."

Natasha remained silent, only weeping.

Ember frowned.

He spared Natasha's life in order to find out information about the refuge city she belonged to and its location.

What can you possibly get out of all this crying and wailing?

"I can only use some tricks on you."

Yu Jin shook his head and stood up.

The spoils of the strong have a 24-hour cooldown period.

With this ability, Ember has the opportunity to steal some of Natasha's memories, which may include information about the location of the Refuge City.

but……

It would be even better if we could interrogate them before they cooled down.

……

……

A369 area.

Ember's figure moved back and forth across the earth.

whoosh-

Whizzing--!
With a wave of his hand, wind blades whistled through the air.

Come to think of it, I bought this wind blade ability from the points shop back when I was still on Earth.

However, since it didn't have the 'wind' attribute at that time, it couldn't be used.

Now that he has awakened the 'wind' attribute, he discovered that his first-tier ability is 'wind blade', which left Ember speechless and feeling like he had been cheated.

"Ugh——!"

The wind blades fell.

Not far in front of Yu Jin, a seventh-tier mutated beast was cleaved in two.

Swah——

A ninth-tier crystal also appeared in Yu Jin's hand.

"continue!"

With a flash, Yu Jin headed towards his next destination.

Although there were no 'beast rapists' like Xiaoming in area A369, he managed to get a detailed map from Mangcheng.

The map shows many areas marked as 'extremely dangerous'.

Now, Yu Jin is following these markers, coming over one by one to 'harvest' the crops.

Compared to area A308, the evolved beings, mutated beasts/infected beings in this area are of a significantly higher rank.

"An eighth-order infected?"

"An eleventh-tier crystal has been obtained!"

Ember was delighted and immediately unleashed a 'Storm Domain'.

Rumble——!
A storm raged across the land.

Compared to Natasha's 'Storm Domain' back then, this one is more than a hundred times stronger in scale and power.

……

……

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.

Mangcheng.

Luo Yu's actions were undeniably swift.

In the past day, he led the Evolver Legion to quickly take over Giant Sun City and its 50 subordinate cities, temporarily making them subordinate cities of Mang City.

The reason I say 'temporarily' is because he intends to offer all these cities, including Mangcheng, to Yu Jin, this great Buddha.

only……

What Luo Yu didn't expect was...

Yu Jin did not accept it directly, but instead told him to promote Mangcheng first.

Luo Yu was puzzled, but deeply shocked.

The 100 subordinate cities, along with the Evolver Legion sent by Peter Love and the Tier 6 Evolvers who surrendered from Giant Sun City, are just enough for Mang City to be promoted to a Tier 5 refuge city.

Level 5 Refuge City!

This has been Luo Yu's dream for the past few decades.

And now?
Luo Yu never expected it to be achieved in this way.

Although Mangcheng will change hands after advancing to level 5, it is already the best possible outcome for Luo Yu.

His attribute is luck, which is deeply bound to Mangcheng.

Mangcheng advances to level 5, and his rank will also be further improved. Although he will not break through to the eighth rank, he will be close to the limit of the seventh rank.

Rumble——!
On the wasteland, Mangcheng began its ascension, causing the earth to tremble and the mountains to shake for dozens of miles around.

Deep within the city lord's mansion.

Ember once again 'defeated' Natasha.

but……

The spoils of the strong did not elicit a response.

"Can it only be triggered once per person?"

This result made Yu Jin frown slightly.

He had originally planned to use Natasha as a test subject and take advantage of the situation to make more money.

at the same time.

The failed raid also means that Ember cannot directly obtain the memories of his refuge from Natasha.

Left with no other option, Yu Jin could only continue to interrogate him relentlessly.

"what……"

Natasha cried out in pain.

"Ah~"

Natasha's cries of pain were strangely tinged with a hint of pleasure.

"?"

Yu Jin was deeply shocked.

She was dressed in a nun's uniform, but turned out to be a masochist?

at last.

After a full half-day of interrogation.

Natasha eventually confessed and was given leniency, honestly explaining:

“Auston Zorn…”

"My brother is Austin Zorn, the lord of Ghost King City, an 8th-level refuge city!"

"Ghost King City, located in area A399, rules over a dozen surrounding areas and possesses over a thousand subordinate cities..."
