Chapter 211 - 16: Starry Sky Traits and Star Map! Arrival at A4 Planet, Natives Scared Senseless!
The vast Dawn City shot out from A3 Planet like a rocket.
What greeted them was the deep, endless starry sky.
"Eh?"
Inside Dawn City’s energy shield.
Hundreds of millions of subordinates gazed at the black starry sky overhead, lost in a daze.
The dazzling, sky-wide stars they had imagined did not appear.
Darkness was the main color of this starry sky.
Desolation was the main theme of this starry sky.
The only source of light was the sun at the center of the star system, looking somewhat dim.
On the orbit surrounding the sun, one black planet after another appeared close, but was actually extremely far away.
The A3 Planet they had just left was merely one of these ordinary planets.
"Only when facing this endless starry sky do you feel your own insignificance!"
The countless subordinates of Dawn City couldn’t help but sigh at this moment.
Tower of the Sky, at the summit.
Yin Yao, Neil, and other core leaders of Dawn City all stood behind Yu Jin.
Through the panoramic sky curtain, they had a broader and clearer view of the starry sky than ordinary subordinates.
"So this is the starry sky..."
Yin Yao sighed softly.
Now a Tier Nine Evolver, even she felt like an ant in the face of this endless, deep starry sky.
Chen Gang, Wang Yunpeng, and the others felt the same.
"My Lord—"
Neil’s mechanical voice sounded.
"After leaving A3 Planet, what is our next destination?"
Neil voiced the question everyone was curious about.
Yu Jin waved his hand.
Swoosh—
A semi-transparent projection screen appeared before everyone’s eyes.
"This is..."
"A star map?"
Chen Gang saw the many planet markers on the screen and was astonished.
"Yes, a star map."
Yu Jin replied.
Back when he logged into Mars OL, Dawn City underwent upgrades to Level 7 and 8.
A Level 8 Shelter City could acquire a second trait.
At that time, Yu Jin was on Mars, and the upgrade was handled by Neil, who skipped this option to proceed with the promotion first.
Until recently, after Yu Jin returned.
He finally selected the second trait for Dawn City himself.
[Second Trait: Starry Sky]
[Effect: During stellar navigation, acquire a star map view of the surrounding area, support auto-navigation to locked destination, consume energy for short-range jumps]
If the Sky trait made Dawn City distinctive...
Then the Starry Sky trait could be said to be tailor-made for Dawn City.
And for such a trait to appear as an option...
No doubt about it, Brother Tongzi was working his magic again.
"Wow!"
"With the star map, Dawn City can go wherever it wants!"
After Yu Jin briefly explained the effect of the star map, everyone cheered.
Yu Jin smiled slightly at the reaction.
He reached out and pointed to the closest black planet on the star map.
Beside the planet was marked: A4.
"First, we’ll head to A4 Planet to understand and familiarize ourselves with the situation of other wasteland planets."
"By the way, I’ll test some of my ideas on this planet."
"After that, we’ll perform a space jump to our true destination, Z99 Planet."
Z99, on the star map, was the most distant planet.
And that planet was precisely where Yu Jin had located Yu Chen through the ’perception’ imprint.
Upon hearing this, everyone responded in unison.
Though they were curious about what Yu Jin meant by "testing ideas."
But since the City Lord didn’t elaborate, they wisely refrained from asking further.
Boom—!
Rumble—!
As Yu Jin focused his thoughts and set the closest destination to A4 Planet,
Dawn City in the starry sky trembled with a roar.
Like a comet’s tail, splendid blue and white energy streamed out continuously, propelling the colossal city—like a small asteroid—howling toward the nearest black planet in the distance.
...
...
A4 Wasteland Planet.
A409 Area, Liu Ying City.
As an ordinary Level 0 Sanctuary City,
Liu Ying City was like the original Dawn City, with only a hundred thousand or so subordinates and a City Lord who was merely a Tier Five Evolver.
"It’s over!"
"I’ve only just crossed over a few days ago!"
"Hey, wasteland, wasteland—is it all just a dream in vain!"
"..."
Liu Ying City was filled with wails and a thick atmosphere of utter despair.
The hundreds of thousands of subordinates had been terrified by the mutant beast tide outside the city gates, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Even Liu Ying City’s Tier Five City Lord looked extremely bitter now.
"Is heaven determined to destroy Liu Ying City..."
In the mutant beast tide surrounding the city, she even saw quite a few Tier Six and Tier Seven Mutant Beast figures.
A small Liu Ying City—what right did it have to attract so many High-Tier Mutant Beasts?
Tao Nai Xiang had no answer for that, but she couldn’t escape the reality before her.
On the wasteland, many things simply defied reason.
She had struggled to break through to Tier Five, thinking she could better protect Liu Ying City, but reality slapped her hard in the face.
That slap hurt.
"In the end..."
"I guess I’m going to die standing."
Tao Nai Xiang drew a deep breath as flower petals danced about her.
At this moment,
Liu Ying City’s Tier Five City Lord made her choice.
She didn’t despair and wait for a slaughter—she resolved to fight to her last breath for Liu Ying City.
Tao Nai Xiang’s decision inspired many subordinates in Liu Ying City who had given up resisting.
They struggled, suffered, yet still followed Tao Nai Xiang onto the city walls, ready to fight.
Boom—!
Just then,
A thunderous roar came from the celestial vault.
The sound was so intense that the wasteland ground of the entire A409 Area violently shook, as if rocked by a Tier Nine earthquake.
"Roar—"
"Roar roar—!"
Outside Liu Ying City.
The tens of thousands of originally fierce mutant beasts now let out deafening howls to the sky.
