Chapter 156 Spatial Teleportation Array! The History of Planet A3! Wasteland Online!

Planet A3.

The final battle at Naya City has ended, and more than a day has passed.

In that single day, billions of people on this planet learned of the existence of Dawn City.

at the same time--

Countless people have personally experienced the terrifying aura of the Dawn City Lord, a power that could suppress hundreds of millions of people.

Area A369, Mangcheng.

A few days ago, Mangcheng had already conquered a hundred subordinate cities in the A369 area and was promoted to a level 5 refuge city.

At this moment, outside Mangcheng.

Nearly one million residents of Mangcheng left the city.

A multitude of gazes, filled with awe, were fixed on the solitary figure in the sky.

Lord of Dawn City, Ember!

Yu Jin stood in the air, his hands clasped together, and slowly opened.

Om-!
The vast spatial fluctuations swept across an area of hundreds of miles.

boom--

Rumble——!
The entire world trembled violently.

Time passes slowly.

Under the watchful eyes of millions, on the wasteland outside Mangcheng, a colossal vortex that seemed to reach the heavens and penetrate the earth gradually emerged from the void.

The passage, like a silvery-white vortex, floated in the air.

Inside the passage, a faint light shone through, but the specific scene was not clearly visible.

Boom-!
Suddenly, the void trembled violently.

A gigantic vortex, seemingly merging with the earth.

Its lower part is completely submerged underground, leaving only a semi-circular arched passage standing on the wasteland.

"great!"

"Loyalty!"

"Lord Yu, your divine might is astounding!"

"..."

The moment the passage was completed, a million people outside Mangcheng shouted in unison.

Even before the embers began, Luo Yu, the acting city lord of Mang City, had already informed them.

Right in area A369, outside Mangcheng, the Embers will establish a super-large spatial teleportation channel!

With the help of the space teleportation channel, refugees from Mangcheng, A369 and the surrounding areas can travel hundreds of thousands of miles directly to Dawn City!
Dawn City?
This is the paradise that countless people on Planet A3 yearn for!
It is said...

It was a sky city floating above the heavens!

It is said...

By joining Dawn City, you can instantly become an Evolver!
It is said...

The people of Dawn City have an endless supply of mutated beast meat and an inexhaustible supply of energy crystals!
The only pity is.

Dawn City currently only accepts Blue Star players, and not all Blue Star players are eligible; they must undergo a certain screening process.

"call--"

"This is the twenty-ninth one."

Above the sky, Yu Jin let out a long sigh of stale air.

This giant spatial teleportation channel is the 'Coordinate Imprint'.

After Dawn City advances to level 6 and its coordinate imprint reaches the maximum level, it gains the ability to construct spatial channels.

As Yu Jin broke through to the sixteenth rank, the sixth-rank 'Coordinate Imprint' was awakened once again.

[Awakening Effect: The maximum number of spatial channels is increased to 9999, and the stability of spatial channels is enhanced]

Throughout the day, Ember had been traversing between different areas and setting up large teleportation channels.

Planet A3 is extremely vast, and even for a ninth-tier evolved being, it would be difficult to traverse multiple regions consecutively without spatial abilities such as 'teleportation'.

therefore.

To complete the plan of 'Conquering Planet A3 in 30 Days from Dawn City', the establishment of a space passage is essential.

Swah——

Swish-

The space tunnel was completed not long ago.

One after another, figures emerged from behind the passage.

Leading the group was Chen Gang, followed by an army of evolutionaries numbering a million.

His purpose in coming here was to take over the hundred subordinate cities in the A369 region.

After the decisive battle at Naya City.

Except for a few evolved beings who were killed by the embers, most of the level 8 refuge cities, such as Ghost King City, survived and were incorporated into Dawn City as external forces.

The 100,000 evolved beings that Chen Gang is currently leading originated from this.

"Lord City Lord!"

After Chen Gang and the others appeared, they immediately called out loudly to the embers in the sky.

"Ah."

Yu Jin responded softly.

hum-

His figure disappeared from the spot.

Planet A3 has nearly two hundred regions, and Ember plans to set up at least 50 teleportation channels to ensure that there is at least one channel for every four regions.

In this way, the efficiency of Dawn City in conquering and promoting subordinate cities can be greatly improved.

The reason for not setting up 200 passages is that maintaining the passages themselves requires an extremely high amount of energy.

Yu Jin was wealthy, but even the wealthiest person wouldn't be extravagant.

……

Time passes slowly.

Another day passed.

Yu Jin, somewhat weary, returned to area A337.

Dawn City is currently suspended in the air above this area, with Naya City coiled like a giant dragon below.

Ember did not rush to downgrade Naya City in order to subdue its thousand subordinate refuge cities.

This is because……

As Dawn City's level increases, the level of the refuge cities it can link to will also increase.

Currently, the six attached cities of Dawn City are all level 0 refuge cities, with extremely small areas.

Ember's idea was—

If possible, all the cities that Dawn City will be linked to in the future will be level 8 refuge cities like Naya City.

In this way, it would be possible to include all Blue Star players on Planet A3, and even players from other civilizations such as Moore Star.

"My Lord——"

Sky Tower.

Neil received the message and rushed over.

"I'll hand over the city lord's authority to you first."

"When Dawn City is ready to advance, you will be the one to initiate it."

Ember gave the order in a soft voice.

"I will obey my Lord's orders!"

As Neil responded, although a hint of doubt flickered in his blue eyes, he did not ask any further questions.

"Okay, step back."

"Also, during the time you're conquering the subordinate cities, don't forget to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the 'beta testers'."

Yu Jin added a sentence.

Neil nodded and made a note of it.

"at last--"

"In the coming period, unless there is an unforeseen and intractable situation, please try not to disturb me."

After finishing speaking, Yu Jin stood up and walked towards the core area.

There, the 'high-dimensional helmet' he had previously acquired was quietly placed.

After making all the preparations for Planet A3, Ember was ready to log into the so-called "Wasteland Online"!

"Ok?"

As soon as Yu Jin arrived at the core area, he suddenly let out a soft exclamation and stopped in his tracks.

"This is……"

"Yufei's communications?"

Yu Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.

Since absorbing Eureka's knowledge and memories, Yufei has been in a semi-dormant state of digestion. Has he awakened now?

Swah——

With a thought, Yu Jin didn't rush to put on the helmet, but instead headed towards Alpha City.

His intuition told him—

Yufei might have acquired some incredible knowledge or information, otherwise he wouldn't have contacted me so suddenly.

……

A316 area.

Alpha City, the City Lord's Mansion.

Ember had left a 'coordinate mark' here before, so it only took a moment to travel from Dawn City to this place.

As soon as Yu Jin stepped out of the void, he saw Wu Yufei sitting in the city lord's seat, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

At this moment, through the 'Eye of Insight', Ember discovered that his rank had already risen to an astonishing seventh rank.

"Old Yu..."

Yufei saw Yu Jin and greeted him, his voice low and somber.

He stood up and led Ember directly to the core area of Alpha City. Before the city's core, Yufei stopped and turned to look at Ember.

"Through the core of Alpha City, I learned about the history of this city and this planet over the past thousands of years..."

Yufei slowly recounted the 'knowledge' he had absorbed to Yujin.

"About 10,000 years ago, this planet was just like Blue Star, blue, peaceful, and full of life."

"At that time, there were also humans like us living on this planet."

"One day, suddenly, the game Wasteland arrived, and the closed beta began."

"Seven days later, half of humanity will have disappeared."

"At the same time, a black meteorite fell onto the planet."

"In an instant, the remaining half of humanity on the planet either died on the spot or survived and became infected."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin's expression remained unchanged.

He had already guessed and knew about this information before, as had Yufei.

Yu Jin knew that Yu Fei's serious attitude at this moment must mean that he had learned other information besides this.

Yufei continued in a low voice:
"With the advent of Wasteland and the arrival of pollution, this planet is rapidly transforming into a 'wasteland'."

"In less than a year, all life forms on this planet have become mutated beasts or infected beings."

"And it was at this moment..."

"Visitors from outer space have arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin frowned.

"Visitors from outer space?"

"Pollution objects like 'Oumuamua'?"

The words fell.

Yufei took a deep breath.

He shook his head firmly:

"No, it's not Oumuamua."

"Yes……"

"Humanity!"

"Humans just like us!"

"They have also awakened attributes and possess extraordinary abilities, although they appear somewhat weak, but..."

"They are indeed human beings, evolved beings!"

Yufei's tone was full of certainty.

"Evolver?"

"After Planet A3 was contaminated, human evolved beings descended from the sky?"

Yu Jin's brows furrowed even more.

"and then?"

"what happened?"

After pondering for a moment, Yu Jin continued to press for answers.

"war!"

Yufei uttered those two words.

"A protracted war!"

"It's not infected humans and mutated beasts, but..."

"One group of humans, and another group of humans!"

"They're fighting each other on this planet, seemingly fighting over something."

"Among them, some humans are even able to fight by drawing on the power of mutated beasts and infected beings."

The information Yufei revealed made Yu Jin fall into deep thought.

Upon hearing Yu Fei's description of the human evolvers, a name came to Yu Jin's mind—the player.

More precisely, Wasteland game players.

perhaps……

Beyond the known planetary and galactic wastelands, does the Wasteland game offer more content and formats?

For example, as Yufei described, players land on a polluted planet and wage war against each other.

"Something feels off..."

Yu Jin temporarily suppressed his thoughts and continued to listen to Yu Fei's story.

"The war lasted for a very long time."

"Until one side wins."

“Planet A3 has undergone tremendous changes since that moment.”

"It's as if it was moved directly from its original starry sky to its current location by some terrifying force."

"After that..."

"As time went by, refuge cities sprang up like game installations."

Yufei paused, then added:
"Furthermore, I discovered—"

"The core of the refuge city is actually linked to the planet's core, and it continuously draws energy from it."

"But you and I both know that a planet's energy is finite."

"Over time, the core energy of planet A3 is now almost depleted."

"It is currently unclear what will happen once the star's core energy is exhausted..."

……

Dawn City.

Sky Tower.

The embers emerged from the void.

Yufei told him a lot in one breath, all of which was information he obtained from the core of Alpha City by using his 'knowledge' attribute.

But what Yu Jin is thinking now is...

"After Planet A3 was contaminated, players arrived and started a war for some reason."

"So, will players also arrive on Blue Star, the Blue Star that should have been polluted?"

This speculation made Yu Jin somewhat uneasy.

When it returned to Earth last time, it purified the remaining pollution on 'Oumuamua, but it also caused the last 1% of pollution on 'Oumuamua 2 to return.

With this ebb and flow, the pollution on Earth has not been eliminated, and may even have increased instead of decreased.

Ember's original plan was—

Once Dawn City advances to a higher level, we will try to return to Blue Star again to find a better way to solve the pollution problem.

But now?
The information brought by Yufei foreshadowed another crisis for Earth besides the Oumuamua contamination.

This crisis is called the Player!
Ironically, the identities of Ember and other humans from Earth are also those of players.

"High-dimensional player?"

"Or was planet A3 once part of the galactic wasteland?"

Yu Jin pondered, but could not find a definite answer.

His gaze finally settled on the gray helmet lying quietly on the large bed.

【High-Dimensional Helmet——】

[A special helmet available only to players of higher-dimensional civilizations. After use, you can log in to Wasteland Online.]

Originally, Ember planned to take advantage of the time when Dawn City was expanding and advancing to log into Wasteland Online and see what was going on.

now……

"Come on!"

"I'm logging into Wasteland Online, the game for high-dimensional players!"

Yu Jin took a deep breath, composed himself, and solemnly put on his helmet.

Swah——

Before Yu Jin's eyes, darkness descended.

The darkness lasted for an unknown period of time before a line of text appeared.

[Will you log in to Wasteland Online and fight for your civilization?]

Yu Jin did not rush to make a choice, but waited quietly.

"Ok?"

A long while passed.

Yu Jin didn't receive the system warning.
