Chapter 139 | State Survivor Base! Magnetic Mother Cao Fang! (23)

Ember doesn't know exactly how far apart Blue Star and the A3 wasteland planet are.

All he knew was...

The coordinate mark, which has the effect of 'teleporting regardless of distance', did not arrive instantly the first time.

in contrast.

Ember was now inside the teleportation channel, and could still feel the terrifying spatial power surging from all directions.

This spatial power seemed intent on annihilating everything within the passage; even with Ember's physical strength of 1550 million, he could feel a stinging pain on his skin.

Boom-!
more importantly.

At one point, Ember felt as if he had suddenly crashed into an invisible barrier.

The barrier carried a familiar aura from Yu Jin.

"Rules of Planet A3?"

Yu Jin frowned.

When Nyarlathotep made his prophecy last time, he teleported the 'metal block' back, but he didn't encounter this situation.

at that time.

The strangulation force of the spatial passage was far less exaggerated than the current claim of 'tens of millions of values'.

Swah——

Suddenly, a semi-transparent system panel popped up in front of Yu Jin.

[Warning, warning...]

[A3 planet rules have detected a life form leaving the server!]

[A3 Planet's rules are rigorously examining every corner of the server!]

[The system has utilized the level 6 refuge city effect to help you avoid detection...]

[Rules exploration of Planet A3 yielded no results; seeking assistance from a higher-level star system server!]

【hint--】

[The act of a living being leaving the server without authorization is considered a grave taboo in the Wasteland game!]

If the galactic server's investigation yields no results, it will trigger an investigation from a higher-dimensional server!

[The system is urgently deciphering the code...]

[Your maximum stay on Earth: 10 minutes]

If you leave the Wasteland server after more than 10 minutes, your action will be detected, and you will be subject to the most severe penalties in the Wasteland game...

[In 10 minutes, you will be forcibly teleported back to Planet A3!]

Bo——!
Yu Jin had just finished reading the information on the panel in front of him.

Then he heard a crisp sound.

The barrier of rules that originally blocked their path was pierced by some special force.

Clearly, Brother Tongzi made a crucial move at the critical moment.

Whoosh-!
The embers thus passed the obstruction smoothly.

For the first time, a hazy scene appeared in front of the black hole.

That is……

Light from the Blue Star!
……

……

Blue Star.

Two and a half weeks have passed since the cataclysm occurred.

After the pollution occurred...

Animals and plants transform into dangerous mutant beasts.

Some people with weak constitutions and those who are seriously ill become infected.

They indiscriminately attack and even hunt humans, occupying large areas that originally belonged to humans, posing a great threat to humanity.

The overall style of the world is increasingly resembling the descriptions in post-apocalyptic novels.

However, thanks to the 'purifying light' that the embers emitted before traveling through time, nearly 90% of the pollution on Oumuamua was eliminated. Therefore, the pollution level on Earth was not high enough to cause the immediate extinction of humanity.

The mutated beasts and infected creatures are far less powerful than those on the wasteland planet.

After the initial fear of mutated beasts and infected creatures, humanity discovered...

They are not invincible.

Despite technological decline, all thermal weapons became ineffective.

However, the combination of melee weapons and sheer numbers gave humanity a certain degree of resistance against mutated beasts and infected creatures.

Humans began to establish survivor bases within the cities.

only……

The disruption of communication made each city like an isolated island, making it difficult to establish contact.

The order of human society has been difficult to truly restore for a long time.

Daxia, 丨zhou.

State University, Survivor Base No. 1.

This is the largest survivor base in the state, sheltering hundreds of thousands of people.

Unlike other small mobile bases that can only flee in panic whenever they encounter hordes of mutated beasts or infected creatures, Base 1 has stood firmly here since its inception.

"Magnetic Mother!"

This is a name familiar to hundreds of thousands of survivors within Base 1.

She is the guardian of the base, an evolutionary being whose extraordinary abilities have brought reality to life, and the ancient Greek god who controls the power of metal!

Many survivors witnessed it firsthand—

With a wave of her hand, all the metal objects scattered on the street, such as steel pipes and iron pots, floated into the air and crashed down on the ferocious mutated beast!

Even more outrageous is—

She can also easily change the shape of metal.

The 'Magnetic Mother's' signature attack is to condense thousands of metals into... a cooking spatula.

A spatula—it doesn't sound like it's dangerous.

but……

That's a ten-meter-long spatula!

It allows you to float in the air, locate enemies, and pursue them!
When ordinary mutated beasts encounter them, the only outcome is being smashed into mincemeat.

Even an infected creature that is stronger and more dangerous than a mutated beast would die on the spot if it were hit hard twice by the 'Magnetic Mother'!
Over the past ten days or so.

It was thanks to the presence of the 'Magnetic Mother' that the survivors in the base were able to search for food, water, and other necessities with peace of mind.

But today, everything is completely different.

At the entrance of the survivor base, which is also outside the main gate of State University.

A massive horde of mutated beasts has gathered here.

Behind the mutated beast horde, several humanoid infected creatures emanating black mist could be seen.

"Woo——"

They emitted sharp, eerie cries, which turned the faces of the survivors in the base deathly pale with fear.

"Damn it!"

At the entrance of the base.

Ah Zhen, a woman with short hair, looked at the scene before her with an extremely ugly expression.

Recently.

As the number of survivors housed at the base surged, more and more mutated beasts and infected creatures were also attracted there.

at first.

The base is able to easily resolve these crises thanks to the 'Magnetic Mother'.

but……

With such a massive beast tide approaching, a mere evolved being would be utterly unable to withstand it.

The good news is—

There is another evolved being at the base.

A few days ago, a college student named Guo Mingyu at the base unexpectedly received a beta test helmet and boldly put it on.

According to him—

In the game "Wasteland", although he had to mine for eight hours every day, he successfully awakened and became a third-tier evolver.

The bad news is that his attribute is 'mining', making him an absolute master at mining.

However, their actual combat capability on Earth is practically nonexistent.

Logically speaking, even with their physical attributes, a third-tier evolved being should be able to fight against a low-tier mutated beast.

but……

Guo Mingyu told Azhen that after returning to Earth from the Wasteland game, his abilities as an evolved being would be severely suppressed.

This suppression rate is close to 99%.

This makes his attribute abilities less lethal than even a grown man wielding a cold weapon.

"Hey--"

Ah Zhen sighed heavily.

She turned her head and looked at Cao Fang beside her, who had a tense face and a serious expression.

Talk about it.

Their team was originally responsible for protecting Cao Fang.

result……

Cao Fang, on the contrary, became the true guardian of the base.

Compared to Guo Mingyu, Cao Fang's superpowers are far, far stronger.

According to her, she could also feel the suppression when using her abilities.

but……

Her high raw stats meant that even under 99% suppression, she still performed like a superhuman.

To this day, Cao Fang herself does not know where her 'superpower' comes from.

But Ah Zhen had a bold and reasonable guess...

That man, Ember!
A ninth-tier evolver, the Lord of Dawn City, the man at the pinnacle of the wasteland world!
Besides him, Ah Zhen couldn't think of any other reason that could transform Cao Fang, a hardworking, honest, and traditional woman who had spent her whole life toiling away, into 'Magneto'.

"Ah Zhen, don't worry."

"These past two days, I've felt that I'm a little more capable than before, and I've even learned two new skills..."

Cao Fang's words pulled Ah Zhen back to reality.

"Aunt Cao..."

Ah Zhen gave a bitter smile.

She had been guarding Cao Fang's side ever since the catastrophe struck, and later witnessed the awakening of the 'Magnetic Mother's' abilities.

She had no doubt about Cao Fang's strength.

but……

The horde of beasts before them was far beyond what Cao Fang alone could handle.

As for Cao Fang's comment that she had "become a little more formidable," Ah Zhen didn't think much of it, taking it as just words of comfort.

For the past few days, Ah Zhen and the others have not let Cao Fang take action because they are worried that killing the mutated beasts will attract more beast tides.

However, it seems that...

Ah Zhen believes that she may have made a very wrong decision.

If they had managed to break through with Cao Fang in the initial stages of the mutated beasts gathering, they wouldn't be trapped here now.

But if you choose that way...

This also means that hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the base will be completely abandoned.

Thinking of this, Ah Zhen looked at Cao Fang.

"Aunt Cao."

"Please wait a moment..."

"Do your best, but know when to stop."

"If we really can't drive away the beast tide, our team will protect you with our lives and ensure your safe escape."

Ah Zhen's tone was now low and sad.

"Eh--"

Cao Fang shook her head.

She really liked the girl in front of her; she was mature, sensible, and responsible.

"Give it to Auntie!"

As Cao Fang spoke, she stepped forward despite Ah Zhen and the others' attempts to stop her.

"Iron is coming!"

She gave a soft shout.

wow——

slam-la-

Not far away, various metal objects piled up in front of the base gate suddenly rose into the air.

These items were all collected by the survivors themselves, in order to increase the 'Magnetic Mother's' combat power.

"Magnetic Mother!"

"Magnetic Mother!!"

At the rear of the base, the survivors, who had been terrified, saw this scene and all shouted loudly.

"Humph--"

Cao Fang looked at the horde of beasts ahead and snorted.

"I'm taking pictures of you!"

wow——

Crash-!
The sound of clashing metal echoed.

Hundreds and thousands of iron pots and steel pipes were smashed down on the horde of mutated beasts that had gathered not far away!

"Ouch——!"

The mutated beast that was hit screamed and howled in agony.

The remaining mutated beasts let out ferocious roars.

"Ok?"

"Still dare to bare your teeth?"

Cao Fang's eyebrows shot up, and she reached out and grabbed forward again.

boom--

Rumble——!
This time, it wasn't a pile of iron pots and steel pipes that floated into the air.

But...

Steel bars in an abandoned building in the distance, where no one is around!

They looked as if they had been forcibly pulled out by an invisible hand!

then……

All these metal objects collided together and merged rapidly like flowing liquid.

Just the blink of an eye.

A 'frying pan' with a diameter of over 30 meters, capable of blotting out the sky, appeared in the sky above.

"???"

Ah Zhen was stunned.

Her comrades were stunned.

The survivors at the rear of the base were also completely dumbfounded!

This……

Lady Magnet, you weren't this strong before!

This giant pot, tens of meters in diameter...

This feeling of oppression...

I'm so frustrated!
"I'll smash you!"

Cao Fang stood with her hands on her hips, cursing and swearing.

boom-boom—!
The large pot fell to the ground with a thud.

Whoosh-!
Cao Fang raised her hand, and the large pot flew up again.

The once swarming beast horde in front of the base has been smashed into an empty area, filled only with bits of flesh scattered on the ground...
