Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 204 - 12: A Seed! Return! The Wind That Swept Across Blue Star! (2)
Old Cui’s words echoed above Dawn City.
The fifty thousand Blue Star players, who’d been excited and expectant yet faintly anxious, all heard it now.
And so—
Just as they were about to step into the Teleportation Array, they glanced at each other, then shouted in unison:
"For the City Lord, for Dawn City—"
"To hell and back, again and again!"
"Loyalty~!"
They would never, could never forget that this miracle-like chance to ’return to Blue Star’ was brought to them personally by Yu Jin!
Yu Jin heard their voices, falling silent for a moment.
After a long while, he spoke softly.
"Everyone, it’s time to go home."
As his words faded—
Buzz——
The Super Large-Scale Space Teleportation Array unleashed an utterly terrifying pull.
Whoosh whoosh——!
All fifty thousand figures from Blue Star, stranded on the Wasteland Planet, vanished above Dawn City.
Whoosh——
A gentle breeze swept through Dawn City.
The once lively and bustling city, quieted as Yu Jin and the others departed.
Yet those who stayed behind didn’t immediately disperse.
They remained, standing for a long time, gazing up at the sky.
"If there’s ever another chance like this..."
"Definitely, no matter what, I’ll do whatever it takes—can’t miss it!"
Yu Jin had no idea at this moment.
The sight of fifty thousand people returning to Blue Star planted a seed called ’Hope’ in the hearts of millions of Blue Star players in Dawn City.
That seed would later take root, sprout, and grow strong.
That seed was also the biggest foreshadowing for Dawn City’s coming explosion of talent and gathering of heroes.
...
...
Blue Star.
Daxia, East Coast.
It had been a full two months since Yu Jin last returned to purify Oumuamua 2.
During these two months, the Western Hemisphere was completely polluted.
Countless infected bodies from the Western Hemisphere crossed the vast ocean, howling toward the Eastern Hemisphere.
Among them—
Daxia’s East Coast faced the most dangerous crisis.
"Another infected body tide is coming!"
"Run for your lives!"
In the largest Survivor Base on the East Coast, a young child ran and shouted loudly.
A child’s voice cuts through everything best—it’s the best ’broadcast’ in this tech-withering Wasteland era.
But...
"Run?"
"Where can we still run..."
"How long do we have to keep running..."
Inside the base—
Over ten million survivors, eyes showing a hint of despair.
The infected bodies were just too strong.
The black infected bodies from across the sea were even stronger than the mutant beasts and infected bodies spawned when Oumuamua first arrived.
They were impervious to blades and bullets, incredibly fast, and their black fog polluted everything it touched.
Now, the sea had turned from blue to utter black, looking like dark ink from afar.
Faced with infected bodies, survivors could only run—run without stopping.
Fleeing day and night, wearing down their will bit by bit.
What made them despair wasn’t this new wave of infected bodies, but the looming future with no hope for humans.
Thud——
Rumble——!
The ground shook.
From afar came the sharp, weird screeching of infected bodies.
They weren’t very intelligent, driven by instinct to kill any unpolluted life.
Buzz——!
Right at that moment—
Violent waves rippled above the Celestial Vault.
The pressure from this ripple made almost a million incoming infected bodies freeze, instinctively looking up to the sky.
At the same moment, the ten million survivors in the East Coast base looked up as well.
"That’s..."
Ten million people held their breath, watching.
In their eyes, the sky reflected a huge shadow of a gate.
Buzz——!
Space trembled; the shadow became solid.
Whoosh—
Whooshwhoosh——!
Figures flew out from the gate.
Their appearance...
They were human!
Most had Daxia faces!
"Wow!"
"Mom!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"It’s Superman—they can fly!"
"So many! Are they here to kill the monsters, and save us?"
"..."
Inside the base, the innocent children shouted in excitement.
The once numb and despairing adults now had a faint light of hope in their eyes.
Swoosh——
Swoosh swoosh——
Breaking wind sounds echoed in the sky.
In the blink of an eye—
There were a full fifty thousand figures, floating in mid-air!
The most eye-catching among them was a youth with dazzling Light Wings.
Just by standing there, he seemed to become the world’s center.
"Disperse."
In the ears of the ten million survivors in the base, a faint voice suddenly rang out.
There seemed to be a hint of annoyance in his tone.
Crash——
Crash——
Suddenly, wind stirred through heaven and earth.
The wind was small and gentle, like a soft breeze against the face.
But—
As the breeze swept over the infected body tide—
The million infected bodies shrouded in black fog all widened their eyes, and then...
Crash——!
They vanished.
Their bodies scattered like powder.
The black powder was instantly carried away by the breeze, dissolving into nothingness.
[Tier Nine Wind Attribute Ability: Wind of Annihilation Level 9]
[Active Effect: Summons chaotic wind with ’Annihilation’ traits. Everything it touches is annihilated!]
[Full-Level Effect: Can target specific enemies, and unlimitedly expand coverage area as long as energy allows.]
More than twenty days before Dawn City was promoted to Level 10—
Yu Jin had already gone to the Resource Mall, and One-Click Max Leveled all his Tier Seven, Eight, and Nine abilities.
And right now—
This ’Wind of Annihilation’ from Yu Jin wasn’t just for destroying the million infected bodies before him.
Crash——
Crash——!
Yu Jin willed it.
The breeze, breaking logic, swept out from the East Coast as its center, especially toward the Western Hemisphere.
Boom——
Boom boom——!
Wherever the breeze passed, all infected bodies dissolved into powder.
Even deep in the black ocean, the high-tier mutant beasts spawned by Oumuamua 2’s pollution, vanished instantly.
This breeze swept across all of Blue Star.
"Lord City Lord is mighty!"
"Loyalty!"
Yu Jin moved so fast that by the time the other fifty thousand Blue Star players even saw the infected body tide below, getting ready to unleash their skills, the breeze had already wiped out everything.
Even though, upon arriving on Blue Star, all their abilities were suppressed by 99%, their minimum Tier Five and Tier Six levels still made them Supermen.
"Gather here in ten days."
"Remember, don’t be late."
Yu Jin’s gaze swept over the returning players as he spoke softly.
As his words fell—
Buzz——!
Yu Jin raised his hand.
Rumble——!
One after another, Super Large-Scale Space Teleportation Arrays rose up!
Just in a few breaths—
There were now twenty Arrays at the coast.
Yu Jin had designed these twenty Arrays so they could go to all areas of Daxia. Most led to the Eastern Hemisphere and Daxia, a few to the Western Hemisphere.
With Space Teleportation, returning players could visit their families more efficiently.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"
"Lord City Lord really cares about us!"
Fifty thousand Blue Star players called out, while Yu Jin shook his head and stepped into the Array headed to Daxia’s Jiangnan region.
Whoosh whoosh——
Fifty thousand Blue Star players followed, each stepping into the Array closest to their destination region.
Yu Jin had thoughtfully left clear markings on each Array, making it easy for everyone to choose the right one.
Among them—
A handful of players didn’t step into the Arrays, but descended onto the ground below.
Their homeland wasn’t elsewhere—it was right here on the East Coast.
Inside the East Coast base—
Ten million survivors were still shaken and dazed.
Until...
Supermen descended from the sky and landed before them.
"Dad, Mom, I’m back!"
"Sis, now I’m a member of Dawn City—I’m Superman!"
"Honey! Wait, your belly... why is it bulging..."
