out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun in the sky was still dim and dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the dangerous mutated cats and dogs below the male dormitory had already disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The college students, who had struggled to survive until now, walked out of dormitories, classrooms, canteens...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They gathered in groups, collecting usable food and supplies throughout the campus and beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hasa—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunxuan raised his hand, gently swiping at the air ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint blue light flickered and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the pollution was almost completely purified, his Gale Attribute Ability was nearly suppressed to the point of vanishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mind you, he was now a Tier Five Evolver, able to become a City Lord of a common Refuge City on A3 Planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it weren’t for that damn countdown to crossing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This half-month experience might have seemed more like a fleeting and illusory dream?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunxuan sighed softly, and went downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t use the stairs or the elevator, but directly leaped out of the sixth-floor dormitory window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he became an Evolver, he’s been doing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ouch, I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time rushed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drake-3 Wasteland Star System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uninhabited Planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunxuan swung the iron shovel in his hand, bending over and digging fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jumped down from the building and accidentally sprained his ankle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally planning to go out like other students to find some supplies and chat up a few juniors, he could only limp back to the dormitory, put on his helmet, and log back into \"Wasteland\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, he lost his superpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the beta test, he was still a Tier Five Evolver!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunxuan’s mining speed was not slower than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shoveled one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pale blue Gale energy wrapped around his right hand and the iron shovel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the ’God-tier Mining Skill’ Tang Yunxuan realized—using Gale Force to enhance mining efficiency!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The delicate girl Peng Siyi was wielding an iron shovel in each hand, shaking the earth with each dig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She too, activated her ’Giant Strength’ Attribute Ability while mining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Zhenzhong’s mining movements seemed much more refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t use his bare hands to dig in the Crystal Ore but sat cross-legged at the original spot, waving his hands in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several meters in front of him, a total of six or seven ’Golden Shovels’ were flying up and down within the Crystal Ore, constantly digging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attribute was ’Gold,’ able to control ’gold’ products.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Golden Shovels were also acquired from Carol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this type of work request from ’miners,’ Carol never refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that Yin Zhenzhong didn’t know where she got the golden raw material to make these shovels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this uninhabited planet, the total number of current beta players, or ’miners,’ has surpassed one hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carol was unclear why more and more beta players were logging in here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only knew...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these miners, the development progress of the uninhabited planet would increase again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that meant she could truly make a contribution to Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current Planet Occupation Progress: 2.7%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder when Lord will descend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must capture this uninhabited planet for him before he arrives!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carol looked at the one hundred thousand hard-working miners in front of her and secretly made up her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t supervised too long when she heard the communication coming from the Unmanned Mecha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Near the planet, traces of the Interstellar Fleet have been detected!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carol flashed directly into the X-87 Interstellar Mother Ship’s cockpit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The holographic projection full of sci-fi breath showed several striking red dots approaching the uninhabited planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could this be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clearly, all the coordinates of the mother ship have been erased...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carol frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, an investigation is a must.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carol piloted the S-680 Micro Interstellar Spaceship, taking off towards the Endless Starry Sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the silent depths of the starry sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast starry Interstellar Mother Ship sailed quietly like a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It should be around this star realm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The X-87 Mother Ship, tasked with executing the ’capture the traitor alive’ mission, lost signal here and cannot be reached.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the spacious cockpit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the commander’s uniform looked at the vast starry realm ahead, muttering to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Holland!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are vast asteroid belts ahead...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we activate the detection module and conduct a full-power scan of the star realm ahead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Holland Benitez, the vice-commander made a suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an advanced fleet of the Selza Civilization, it generally doesn’t actively open the detection module during regular navigation because it would easily expose their own coordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the vast star system wasteland, the Selza Star People have many enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the Larnaka Star People, also a Level II civilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides have recently almost gone to full-scale war over the ownership of a mid-level uninhabited planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War between civilizations involves not only clashes at interstellar fortresses but also includes tracking, assassination, capture... and a series of other tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This advanced fleet of Holland Benitez belongs to the Selza Ninth Interstellar Refuge Fortress and usually takes on these kinds of clandestine war missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they transitioned from the battlefield to this star realm to investigate the ’X-87 Mother Ship’s loss of contact’ incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on decades of warfare experience, Holland Benitez speculated...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lone-escaping traitor Carol gained the support of the Larnaka Star Fleet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The X-87 Mother Ship encountered an ambush from the Larnaka Star Fleet, leading to its total annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not activate it for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, use conventional methods to investigate if remnants of the X-87 Fleet can be found.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holland waved his hand, making the decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has always been known for his caution, which is one of the reasons why he, with just a modest Tier Fifteen level, could command an entire advanced fleet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holland’s fleet successfully found the battlefield of the X-87 Mother Ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unmanned mecha remnants?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that... the corpse of the X-87 Fleet Commander?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holland looked at the scene in space, his eyes instantly becoming sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tier Eleven mecha?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Self-destruction?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his rich battle experience, Holland almost restores the war details that happened here with just one look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this deeply furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overall strength of the Larnaka Civilization is stronger than the Selza Civilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally speaking, it wouldn’t be necessary to use self-destruction tactics of mecha to ambush and annihilate a stray mother ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Traitor Carol?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Single-handedly annihilated the X-87 Mother Ship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holland instantly came up with this extremely bold assumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard about some rumors of Carol, a fellow commander, who was only a Tier Twelve woman, but had been repeatedly promoted in the recent decade due to her excellent war command abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the ’traitor exposure’ incident this time, she might have been able to become an advanced fleet commander on par with him in less than ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it wasn’t Larnaka, but Carol...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holland looked at the starry sky outside the window, various thoughts flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s there?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holland shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vice-commander behind him looked utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong, Lord Holland?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holland didn’t reply, instead, his brows furrowed even more deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Tier Fifteen Evolver and commander, one of his attributes was ’perception.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This attribute doesn’t have actual combat power but has an extremely keen perception of potential changes and dangers he might face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holland sensed that he seemed to be targeted by something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it? That even makes me feel a strong threat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An evolver above Tier Fifteen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good! This is a trap from the Larnaka Star People!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The X-87 Mother Ship is the bait, the real target is us, the T-9 Fleet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holland’s expression immediately turned grave, and he promptly issued orders:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare for transition!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maximum power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave this star realm at the fastest speed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the words were out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vice-commander behind him didn’t even have time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible but powerful spatial wave suddenly spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vice-commander’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spatial attribute ability?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vice-commander disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh, whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently disappearing were over a hundred members within the mother ship, as well as... the commander-in-chief, Tier Fifteen Evolver, Holland Benitez.\u003C\u002Fp>",1412,"2026-06-06T09:25:00.978Z",1,"novelbin.me","339c9bf08623eb3481424901489ca49189c93bbfd3b40bf21c164274bbcbbcf9","wasteland-s-only-king-chapter-163","wasteland-s-only-king-chapter-161",370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwasteland-s-only-king-cover.jpg"]
