Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 362 - 90: Zhong Muqing! First Simulation! Great Terror! (Part 2)
Bai Zhining spoke word by word.
As her words fell.
The crowd was once again in a stir.
The people who had been cursing Su Chen moments ago suddenly fell silent.
And the young girl Zhong Muqing behind Bai Zhining put her hands on her hips and jumped in front of Su Chen.
“You brat!”
“Tier Four Evolver, why didn’t you say so earlier!”
“Don’t you know…”
“That healing a Tier Four Evolver consumes far more energy than others!”
Zhong Muqing was very angry.
On her body, there was even a faint pressure emanating from the strong presence of an Extreme Evolver.
“?”
Su Chen was taken aback hearing this.
This reaction…
Isn’t quite right?
Shouldn’t both Bai Zhining and Zhong Muqing be shocked and even treat him kindly because of his Tier Four Evolver identity?
Why instead is there a trend of getting angry?
“Hoo—”
Bai Zhining took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
This healing consumed her greatly.
If she had known earlier that Su Chen was a Tier Four Evolver and that his injuries were so severe, she would never have proceeded directly to healing without first restoring some energy with a crystal…
Now.
The little energy Bai Zhining had left was completely drained because of Su Chen, one might say.
“Your injuries have basically healed.”
“You just need to rest quietly.”
“If you can replenish some energy, the recovery speed could be faster.”
Bai Zhining spoke softly, but did not look at Su Chen again.
On the contrary.
She lifted her head, scanned the crowd in front, and showed a bit of apology on her face.
“Everyone…”
“I might need to take a short rest. Only after recovering some energy can I continue healing you all.”
…
…
Bailu City.
City Lord’s Mansion.
After a whole day and night of healing work, Bai Zhining dragged her tired body back here.
“Peh peh peh!”
“It’s all because of that stinky brat named Su Chen!”
“Tier Four is Tier Four, so what if it’s Tier Four?”
“Showing off?”
“He wants to show off, causing you to be drained of energy because of healing him, and there was a lack in temporary replenishment!”
“If it weren’t for him, after healing the wounded from Ninth Street, you wouldn’t be as exhausted as you are now!”
The sound of the girl’s cursing echoed in the hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Alright, alright.”
“He didn’t mean any harm.”
“Young folks…”
“Might indeed want to show off a bit, after all being a Tier Four Evolver.”
Sitting in the City Lord’s seat, Bai Zhining spoke softly while quietly recovering her energy.
“Hmm—”
“You, you’re too easy to be bullied!”
Zhong Muqing was still relentless.
Bai Zhining didn’t speak further but stared into the darkened sky outside the City Lord’s Mansion, lost in thought.
“Hey!”
“You don’t really believe what that guy said…”
“Tomorrow there’s another wave of Mutant Beast Tide attacking the Refuge City, right?”
“Come on!”
“I’ve never heard of a Mutant Beast Tide attacking back-to-back two days in a row at Refuge City!”
“He also said—”
“There’s a Tier Five Mutated Beast King in the beast tide?”
“Saying we can’t hold it, everyone will die?”
“Nonsense, bullshit!”
In the afternoon.
After his injuries were healed, Su Chen confidently informed Bai Zhining of this news.
Moreover, he suggested leaving Bailu City with Bai Zhining.
As the City Lord, Bai Zhining naturally refused on the spot.
Even if there truly was a second wave of Mutant Beast Tide, she wouldn’t abandon Bailu City and its tens of thousands of subordinates.
However.
Recalling Su Chen’s firm tone, Bai Zhining couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
“What if there really is a second wave of Mutant Beast Tide…”
“Sigh!”
“I wish I had a combat attribute ability too.”
Bai Zhining sighed lightly and looked at Zhong Muqing.
In fact.
In yesterday’s Mutant Beast Tide defense battle, it wasn’t others who were most severely injured, but her good friend.
She single-handedly fought against three Tier Four Mutated Beast Kings.
Although she ultimately forced them to retreat, she herself was almost fatally injured.
If Bai Zhining didn’t have the heaven-defying Life Attribute ability to bring back the dead, she could never have been saved, let alone bounce back like she is now.
Therefore.
If there is truly a second wave of Beast Tide and the so-called Tier Five Mutated Beast King.
“If only I had combat attribute ability, I could help Mu Qing…”
Bai Zhining sighed again in her heart.
…
…
The night deepens.
Outer City of Bailu City, Ninth Street.
Inside a dilapidated wooden cabin.
Su Chen, who has fully recovered from his injuries, sits on the wooden bed.
“Miss Bai rejected my plan.”
“But thinking about it, it’s reasonable.”
“After all, she isn’t me. I can’t possibly tell her that I’ve died once and come back through rebirth. Even if I did, she probably wouldn’t believe it.”
Su Chen muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the panel in front of him.
[Simulate?]
The Mutant Beast Tide will attack tomorrow afternoon.
The current Su Chen doesn’t possess the ability to resist the beast tide.
Of course, he doesn’t intend to resist.
“What I need to do…”
“…is to continue improving my strength, hopefully advancing from Tier Four to Tier Five.”
“In that case…”
“Zhong Muqing, who is beside Miss Bai, won’t be able to stop me, and I can forcibly take Miss Bai, even Zhong Muqing, away from Bailu City.”
“They might not understand at the time, might even hate me, but when the truth is revealed, they’ll eventually understand my good intentions, perhaps even…”
As Su Chen thought, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved with a smile.
“Simulate!”
“I must simulate!”
“As the protagonist, of course, I should heavily use my cheat to strengthen myself!”
Su Chen made a decision, no longer hesitating.
He plans to make a move tonight after gaining improvements from the simulation, launching a night attack on the City Lord’s Mansion!
[Ding—!]
A crisp sound rang in Su Chen’s heart.
He felt a moment of daze, and the scene before him plunged into darkness.
“Hmm?”
“Is this…”
“Has the simulation already begun?”
Su Chen found that the surroundings showed no change.
The only difference was that the panel before him changed from [Simulate?] to [Simulating…Can exit simulation after death or voluntary end to settle rewards].
“It feels like dreaming…”
“Then whatever I do now counts as dream content?”
Upon thinking this, Su Chen was filled with a bold idea.
“Then…”
“I’ll go attack the City Lord’s Mansion tonight!”
“Though there’s a high chance I can’t beat Zhong Muqing, I can still test her depth. Even if defeated, I can gain tier and ability upgrades from the simulation, and upon returning to reality, my attack on the City Lord’s Mansion will be a certainty.”
“And if I succeed this time, I can simulate subsequent events, preparing for unexpected dangers when leaving Bailu City!”
Su Chen only felt his plan was flawless.
Shua—
His figure flickered out.
In the pitch-black night, he used the ’smoke’ attribute ability to completely conceal himself, heading towards the Inner City center, the City Lord’s Mansion.
About ten minutes later.
Su Chen evaded all the guards’ inspections, sneaked through the Martial Arts Plaza, and infiltrated the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Hmm…”
“Could it be that…”
“Miss Bai is…taking a bath?”
A wicked thought suddenly emerged in Su Chen’s heart.
But…
Unfortunately, no.
When he appeared in the City Lord’s Mansion hall, he saw his long-cherished Miss Bai at first glance.
“What are you doing!”
“Damn it!”
Yet.
The scene made the previously restless Su Chen immediately lose composure in fury.
Only to see—
In the cold and spacious meeting hall.
A young man lazily leaned on the City Lord’s seat.
Below the City Lord’s seat.
Bai Zhining, the City Lord of Bailu City, was surprisingly kneeling on one knee, posing in a submissive manner!
Even more exaggerated was—
Even Zhong Muqing, who feared nothing, was likewise kneeling on one knee beside Bai Zhining at this moment.
Su Chen even saw—
Zhong Muqing’s delicate body, trembling involuntarily!
“Ah—”
“Damn it!”
“This is my heroine, my heroine!”
“How dare you insult them like this, damn you, you deserve death!”
Su Chen instantly flew into a rage, even revealing himself from the concealed invisible smoke.
On the City Lord’s seat.
The youth with a lazy demeanor glanced indifferently.
There wasn’t the slightest hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he’d long known of Su Chen’s concealed approach.
And next.
The youth’s words rendered the furious Su Chen momentarily stupefied.
He only felt—
Horror, immense horror!
And at this moment.
The chilling echo within the City Lord’s Mansion meeting hall was a sentence:
“It’s you…”
“Crossing the timeline, attempting to simulate my existence?”
