Chapter 147 Dawn City Descends on Naya City! All 8th-Tier City Lords Appear!

Chapter 147 Dawn City Descends on Naya City! Eighth-Tier City Lords Appear!

A330 area.

Dawn City resembles an interstellar fortress, hurtling through the sky.

Sky Tower.

Swah——

Neil suddenly opened his eyes, his blue mechanical eyes flashing.

"My Lord..."

"Moving further away, to the east!"

The words fell.

Yin Yao and the others surrounding Neil looked completely astonished.

Over the past two days.

Following Neil's 'sense', they headed east.

Dawn City flew at full speed, traversing region after region, from region A308 to region A330.

It was only a few hours away from the location of the embers, A331, which Neil had sensed.

But at this crucial juncture...

Are the embers moving further away?

"How could this be?"

Yin Yao frowned, her mind racing as she began to analyze the situation.

For the past two days, they have been trying to contact Ember—they all have the 'communication' marks left by Ember.

But no matter how I tried to contact them, there was no response.

This also caused them to change their original plan of 'conquering the refuge city while searching for the whereabouts of the embers' and instead travel at full speed to find the embers.

"The president has probably encountered some kind of accident..."

"It's not impossible that they could even fall into a coma or suffer serious injuries."

Yin Yao spoke in a heavy tone, revealing her guess.

The strength of the embers was evident to everyone in Dawn City.

However, when it comes to the taboo act of 'returning to Earth,' which clearly violates the rules of the Wasteland game, no one knows what will happen. Even if Ember is very strong, he may still be subject to the Wasteland's punishment.

"I recommend……"

"Let's go to area A331 first and see if we can find any clues based on Neil's previous perception!"

Yin Yao's idea was quickly accepted by the rest of the group.

……

A331 area.

Laisi City.

At the city gate, Ye Ye rested his chin on his hand, gazing blankly eastward.

"My boss..."

Ye Ye was in great pain, so much so that he wanted to cry.

According to the script, shouldn't it be—

A powerful figure is accidentally injured and falls into a coma. You find him and take good care of him (preferably with some skepticism and misunderstanding from the neighbors). When he wakes up, he bestows upon you an incredible opportunity, and you embark on your journey to the pinnacle of the wasteland... or so it seems.

"Ember Boss..."

"I didn't even have a chance to tell you my name..."

As Ye Ye thought about it, his eyes turned red.

He didn't cry when he was beaten by seven thugs, but now he really wants to cry...

although.

Those who provoke their villains are killed by the boss.

Tong Zhiyong, who had attempted to extort money, was caught red-handed.

The investigator who colluded with Tong Zhiyong was also severely punished by the city lord of Laixi, and almost lost half his life.

The city lord of Laixi also approved of his act of picking up a 'big shot' and rewarded him with a 'second-tier energy crystal'.

but!

Compared to the big shots, these are nothing!

"Woooo..."

Ye Ye finally broke down in tears, unable to hold back her emotions.

boom--

Boom——!
Suddenly.

The loud noise from the sky interrupted Ye Ye's crying.

He rubbed his eyes and looked up.

Ye Ye was stunned.

He saw...

A colossal sky city, dozens of times the size of Lacey City, burst forth from the clouds!

"Gulu——"

A primal fear made Ye Ye swallow hard.

He quickly got up and ran towards the city gate.

But next second.

Swah——

Swish-

Beams of white light descended from the sky.

As the beam of light dissipated, several powerful figures were revealed.

"kid?"

"You're a player from Earth, right?"

"What's your name?"

Ye Ye stood frozen in place, staring at the exquisitely beautiful older sister in front of him who had taken the initiative to greet him.

For a long time.

Ye Ye stammered, "My name is Ye Ye."

"Uh……"

The pretty older sister was clearly taken aback by the name for a moment before continuing:
"Okay, Xiao Ye."

"My name is Yin Yao, and I come from Dawn City. I have some questions for you now."

"You can tell me everything you know, don't worry about anything else."

talking.

It seemed to be to put his mind at ease.

The young man next to the older sister raised his hand.

Crack-!
A terrifying surge of electricity roared out.

"Speak your mind!"

"With you, Brother Hong, here, even if the city lord of this refuge city came, I'd still electrocute him!"

……

Laixi City, City Lord's Mansion.

Leia stared at the figures in front of her, her face tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.

If she weren't outmatched, as the city lord, she would never have allowed these outsiders to enter the city so brazenly, let alone come directly to the city lord's mansion.

Leia looked up at the sky.

A colossal city, obscuring the sky, hovers silently above the city of Laixi.

The shadow cast by the Sky City enveloped the entire city of Lacey.

"terrible……"

"The oppressive atmosphere of this city is almost on par with that of Naya City!"

Leia was shocked.

She is a Moorish, and was appointed by Naya City to serve as the city lord of the subordinate city.

Although she hadn't lived in Naya City for long, she knew perfectly well that Naya City could never 'fly'...

"Lord Leia?"

Chamber.

Yin Yao looked at Leia and suddenly spoke.

Leia kept a straight face and nodded her chin.

"I'm!"

She deliberately lowered her voice, as if to appear more imposing.

"Could you tell us how to get to Naya City?"

Yin Yao got straight to the point.

From Ye Ye, she learned what had happened over the past period. Just as Neil had sensed, Ember had been in this city before.

and.

Yu Jin did indeed suffer an accident, falling into a deep sleep and losing his right hand.

This made Yin Yao and the others very worried.

They arrived too late; the eighth-tier evolved beings from Naya City took the embers away first.

When Yin Yao and the others first heard the name 'Nya City', they were also a little stunned.

And now.

Upon seeing the city lord of Laixi City, who was also a petite loli like Naya, and even after hearing Ye Ye's description that the eighth-order evolver from Naya City was the same, Yin Yao and the others began to have a vague guess in their hearts.

Naya is very likely the lord of Naya City.

Yu Jin knew about this, but Yin Yao and the others were unaware of it beforehand.

"Feel sorry."

"I cannot provide an answer."

Although Leia sensed that Yin Yao and the others were far more powerful than herself, she remained resolute.

boom--!
She even stood up and deliberately released her breath.

As a citizen of Moor Star, she could never betray Naya City, no matter what!

"..."

Yin Yao and the others fell silent.

Swah——

Neil stared at Leia for a while, then disappeared from the spot.

Swah——

Not a moment later.

Neil is back.

She was holding a petite, porcelain doll-like little girl in her arms.

Why don't you take another look?

Leia was puzzled, but she still tiptoed slightly to look at the figure in Neil's arms.

Just a glance.

Puff-!
Leia knelt down.

"My king!"

……

boom--

Rumble——!
Under Ye Ye's watchful gaze, Dawn City set sail once again, heading east.

Ye Ye slumped down in front of the city gate, feeling even more heartbroken.

"According to the plot..."

"Shouldn't you have brought me along too?"

As Ye Ye thought about it, his eyes involuntarily reddened again.

How come reality is completely different from the online novels he's read...?

the other side.

Above the sky, Dawn City.

After Naya 'appeared', Yin Yao and the others successfully obtained the exact location of Naya City from Leia.

A337 Regional Center.

According to L'Oréal—

If Dawn City gets close to Naya City, powerful figures from Mole Star will appear.

Then, Lord Nyarlathotep can 'show up'.

Of course, this is what Leia told Yin Yao and the others.

In fact.

After setting sail from Dawn City, she quickly contacted Naya City.

"Our king is in the hands of a group of Earth players!"

"They rode in the flying refuge city and headed towards Nya City!"

……

after one day.

Boom——!
Dawn City, near the center of Area A337.

Before Yin Yao and the others' eyes appeared an enormous city, like a giant dragon coiled around it.

Level 8 refuge city, Naya City!

Naya City itself possesses the characteristic of 'concealment', but it is clearly not activated at this moment.

whoosh-

Whizzing--!
We have just arrived in Dawn City.

Seven figures then soared into the sky from within Naya City.

Seven figures, three men and four women, all of whom were extremely petite.

The aura of eighth-tier evolved beings was clearly visible on the seven individuals.

Swah——

Yin Yao and the others were not to be outdone, and flew away from Dawn City.

The two sides faced off across the distance, creating a slightly strange atmosphere.

"Where is the club president/city lord?"

"Where is my king?"

The two sides opened almost simultaneously.

The words fell.

Both sides fell silent.

The current situation is indeed somewhat abstract.

The lord of Naya City resides in Dawn City.

The lord of Dawn City resides in Naya City.

a long time.

Among the seven figures in Naya City, the orange-haired loli who was in the lead was the first to soften her attitude.

"You are players from Earth, right?"

"Was this refuge also built by the embers?"

The orange-haired loli remembered Nyarlathotep's instructions before leaving. After seeing Dawn City, she was almost 100% certain that Ember was the 'man' Nyarlathotep had mentioned.

Ember is precisely the entity that Naya City has been waiting for for over a hundred years to latch onto.

If that's the case, then...

My thoughts are wandering; I haven't figured it out yet.

suddenly.

boom--

Rumble——!
A series of loud noises from afar interrupted their conversation.

The seven evolved beings from Naya City, along with Yin Yao and others from Dawn City, all looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw——

At the horizon, a colossal city, comparable in size to Naya City, roared and surged across the land like a giant beast!

It charged straight towards Naya City with overwhelming force!

Om-!
Not only that.

Almost at the same moment.
