Lu Heng and his two teammates high-fived each other, ready to embark on this unknown journey.

...

As his vision gradually returned, Lu Heng opened his eyes to complete darkness, unable to see anything.

The surface beneath him was jolting slightly, as if he were inside some kind of transportation vehicle.

Then, a bright light appeared ahead, illuminating the space around him.

Lu Heng shielded his eyes with his hand and, after slowly adjusting to the brightness, finally made out the space around him.

He was inside a cubic space, much like a cargo truck or similar transportation vehicle.

Su Muyu was already awake, and the bright light had come from her Flame Arrow Skill.

Lin Zeyu was slumped to one side, still not awake.

Besides the three teammates, there were seven other people in the truck's cargo area.

Everyone had a cyber-style bracelet on their wrist.

People in the cargo area began examining their bracelets, and some even took out weapons, trying to break them off.

Lu Heng was about to speak up to stop them when someone from a corner of the truck beat him to it, "Don't try to pry it off; I'm worried these things might explode if we break them."

The voice sounded familiar.

Lu Heng directed the light from Su Muyu's hand toward the source of the voice and indeed found a familiar face.

It was Chen Zihang, the Superpower User with the Magnetic Force Skill, whom he had met in the first Abyss Battlefield.

The two made eye contact, recognizing each other, but by a silent agreement, said nothing and looked away after an exchange of glances.

The Power Users in the cargo area, heeding Chen Zihang's warning, dared not tamper with the bracelets on their hands any further.

Chen Zihang's concern was justified, yet not entirely accurate.

Lu Heng knew what the device on his wrist was; it was Electronic Shackles.

Forcibly prying the shackles off wouldn't cause an explosion, but it would trigger a high-voltage shock, enough to knock out a Power User.

The appearance of Electronic Shackles meant that the Superpower Users transported here were considered "captured beings."

"Beings" was the operative word, for it was still unclear what the native inhabitants of this world were like.

Lin Zeyu was sleeping soundly, even beginning to snore.

His snoring brought an awkward silence to the entire cargo area.

After all, being able to sleep in such an environment wasn't something ordinary people could do.

Lu Heng stood up and kicked Lin Zeyu to wake him.

Lin Zeyu wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and groggily asked, "What's going on? Where are we now?"

As his consciousness cleared, he remembered they were in the midst of being transported into the Abyss Battlefield, so he immediately perked up and scrutinized the other people in the truck with a cautious gaze.

And all those people were staring back at him.

Lin Zeyu sensed that the atmosphere was off and moved closer to Lu Heng.

This move conveyed a message to the other Power Users in the cargo area: he was part of Lu Heng's team.

There was no need to hide that they were a team.

Sometimes, disclosing one's team identity could quickly unify the opinions of other scattered Power Users.

Of course, with ten people in the truck, there could be more than one team.

Lu Heng took out his Aurora Blade and stabbed it into one side of the truck's metal walls, then saw blue-purple neon lights streaming in.

Looking through the hole pierced by the Aurora Blade, he finally saw the state of this world.

Under a dust-covered sky was a Cyber City interwoven with blue and purple neon lights.

But this Cyber City was in severe disrepair.

Just like the world information described, it was a Cyber Wasteland World.

A planet abandoned because of resource exhaustion, so this Cyber City was gradually decaying.

No one was repairing the broken roads, and the extinguished neons continued to dim.

Once-prosperous skyscrapers had become the territory of armed forces.

Su Muyu dispatched a scouting hawk through the hole to get an overall view of the world.

She whispered to Lu Heng an update on what she saw: "We're inside a vehicle resembling a cargo truck, unsure where it's taking us. There are very few vehicles on the road; I don't see a second moving vehicle within five kilometers."

This was a typical feature of the Cyber Wasteland; the entire world was in decline.

The city was no longer bustling, and the world had lost its vigor.
