Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1310 Star Sea (115)
Chapter 1310: Chapter 1310 Star Sea (115)
Rumble~
The ominous sky was covered with thick clouds, with purple lightning flashing between them, heralding an impending storm.
Wang Chen looked up at the sky and then started the motorcycle beneath him.
With the roar of the engine, this handcrafted mechanical vehicle shot forward like an arrow, mercilessly crushing the wild grass beneath it, startling countless insects in an instant.
This was Wang Chen’s third day after leaving the B00785 backup base.
For the past three days, he had been advancing inland towards the main continent of Tampas Star, covering more than two thousand kilometers.
It was undoubtedly a lonely and dangerous journey.
But Wang Chen quite enjoyed it.
The torrential rain came as expected, with bean-sized raindrops falling from the sky and enveloping Wang Chen and his ride.
However, before the rain could touch his body, it was repelled by an invisible force.
In fact, Wang Chen’s spiritual energy included the motorcycle, granting it strong abilities to resist the harsh elements and greatly reducing fuel consumption.
Otherwise, relying on just a few barrels of fuel, completing this global journey would have been impossible!
And Wang Chen’s goal, of course, was to find the source of the strange energy radiation covering Tampas Star!
After racing for another hundred kilometers, another ruined city appeared in Wang Chen’s sight.
Tampas Star, the main star of the Tampas star cluster, once had billions of people and thousands of cities built in the habitable zone, even boasting a majestic space elevator.
But unfortunately, all this was destroyed by war and the invasion of the Nether Tribe.
Seeing no sign of the storm letting up, Wang Chen drove the motorcycle into this ruined city.
Finally, he turned into a large shopping mall.
Among the many destroyed buildings, this mall miraculously remained mostly intact; even the glass on the dome was only partially shattered, making it an excellent place to seek shelter from the storm.
Wang Chen walked through the wrecked hall and parked the motorcycle near the elevator in the atrium.
The mall’s atrium was originally designed as a plant tower, with trees and various exotic flowers planted. Now, the top of this large tree was very close to the over one hundred-meter-high glass dome, and the surrounding plants recklessly occupied the space inside.
The lightning in the sky flashed, the light refracted through the glass onto the dim mall interior, giving it a somewhat ghostly atmosphere!
Wang Chen took an illumination stick from the Starry Seas Ring, pulled the sealed loop open, and shook it hard. The chemical elements mixed rapidly inside, emitting a bright glow.
This type of stick was very bright and could provide over ten hours of illumination, making it very practical in special environments. Wang Chen had brought many.
Then Wang Chen set up a tent and cooking equipment, listening to the thunder and lightning outside while preparing dinner.
Over the past three days, he hadn’t gained anything substantial, nor found any clues about the source of the energy radiation.
It was as if the culprit that blanketed this planet, causing all high-tech equipment to fail, was merely a natural product.
But intuition told Wang Chen this was definitely not a natural phenomenon.
And he was sure that Mu Haitao would rather die than reveal the reason for Xu Chengzhi’s imprisonment, which was very likely related to this!
Mu Haitao should have joined Tampas Star’s rebel organization, and the rebels certainly wanted to uncover the secret of the energy radiation and use it against the empire.
Throughout, the rebels have been like rats in the sewers to the empire, annoying but not a lethal threat, not worth the great cost to eradicate completely.
In fact, the rebels couldn’t have persisted to this point without the covert support of the alliance and sympathy from some civilians in the empire.
Their strength was too weak compared to the empire, capable only of minor sabotage.
But once they mastered the secret of the energy radiation and put it to practical use, the rebels could return the empire’s life planets to ancient times, holding significant bargaining power.
Wang Chen was confident that now many people on Tampas Star were acting with the same purpose as him.
However, he thought that although Mu Haitao and the others had good ideas, achieving them was practically impossible.
But what did that have to do with Wang Chen?
He had already agreed with Mu Haitao that as long as the latter took care of Xu Chengzhi and others, ensuring they could leave safely when the landing ship arrived, Wang Chen would pretend he knew nothing about the B00785 backup base.
As for the future of the B00785 backup base, that had nothing to do with Wang Chen.
While thinking, Wang Chen suddenly drew his sword, slashing backhand to his right.
A flash of bright blade light, and a Nether Hunter, with its body split, materialized, its two separated eyes showing surprisingly human-like shock.
It then exploded into countless particles!
This Nether Hunter had been there since Wang Chen entered the mall, but it didn’t attack immediately, instead entering a phasic state to patiently await an opportunity, gradually approaching Wang Chen.
It clearly sensed that Wang Chen was not easy prey, so it adopted the most conservative and safest tactic.
However, this Nether Hunter didn’t know that even if it remained in a phasic state, it couldn’t escape Wang Chen’s spiritual energy detection and perception.
Thinking it could deliver a lethal strike to Wang Chen, it actually put its head right under Wang Chen’s blade.
It died feeling extremely aggrieved, but contributed a large Nether Crystal.
Wang Chen thoughtfully collected this Nether Crystal.
Although the Nether Tribe army had retreated from the Tampas star cluster, returning this life planet occupied for three years to the empire, many Nether Tribe Hunters still lingered on Tampas Star.
There might be other types, but Wang Chen hadn’t encountered them yet.
These members of the Nether Tribe, like the surviving Imperial survivors in underground bases, were abandoned, aimlessly wandering in the wilderness and city ruins, continuing to oppose humanity.
Over the past three days, Wang Chen had encountered and slain more than a hundred Nether Tribe Hunters!
And considering the size of this ruined city, it was only natural for Nether Tribe members to be present.
Tossing the Nether Crystal in his hand, Wang Chen deposited it into the Starry Seas Ring and continued cooking dinner.
The world is vast, but eating is most important; not even alien races could prevent him from eating!
And as Wang Chen finished his meal, his spiritual energy, which was constantly extended, sent him a wealth of feedback.
In Wang Chen’s perception, Nether Hunters began to emerge one by one.
Enclosing him in all directions!
