Chapter 478 - 295: City of the End

Chapter 478: Chapter 295: City of the End

This looked more like a city cobbled together from a bargain-bin kit, steeped in a cyberpunk aesthetic. The people were armed with guns and artillery, and vehicles patched together from scrap metal drove in and out, loaded with all kinds of metallic junk.

Everyone wore bizarre-looking protective suits. Some were thin, like skin-tight bodysuits, while most people wore heavy, ugly suits with thick tubes connecting various parts.

The entire city wall was also welded together from scrap metal, its surface flickering with countless energy circuits. A shimmering energy grating, dozens of meters long, stretched across the city gate.

Inside the city, however, a massive building made of a transparent material soared into the sky. Energy circuits and runes flickered across its surface, giving it an extremely high-tech appearance.

As Yu Fei approached the City of the End, a message suddenly popped up on his power armor’s display.

[Connectable signal source detected. Connect?]

[The following is a detailed connection license agreement. Scroll down to confirm...]

[3. Private duels are prohibited within the City of the End. Violators will be subject to forced labor or other punishments. In case of disputes, please contact the Enforcement Team. Contact: TG28... Click for details...]

[4.] ...

Yu Fei quickly scrolled to the end. There were 119 main articles and countless detailed addendums, but he finished reading them in no time and gained a more thorough understanding of the city.

With a Grandmaster’s Divine Sense and a reaction speed twenty times that of a normal person, Yu Fei’s ability to process information was far beyond ordinary, allowing him to quickly comprehend the terms and conditions.

Frankly, with the fundamental attributes of an Inner Qi Martial Artist, they could crush the competition for any ordinary person’s job.

Stronger physique, faster reflexes, higher comprehension—and, of course, a more arrogant attitude.

Following the instructions, Yu Fei downloaded the required forms, filled in his identity information, and completed his registration.

After entering his real information for verification, he listed the purpose of his visit as "Looking for senior sister Zhuo Feiming."

Once the connection was successful, a waterfall of information instantly flooded his power armor’s systems.

Information from almost all public channels was now open to him. Yu Fei blocked everything, accepting only a single message from the Shenxiao Corps.

[Zhuo Feiming: Wait at the gate for a bit, kiddo. I’m sending someone to get you!]

’It seems Zhuo Feiming is in the City of the End, too,’ Yu Fei thought. ’That makes sense. As the commander of a Grade-A corps and a powerful Martial Saint, why would she go out personally for trivial matters?’

He remembered his senior sister had countless Grandmasters under her command, with legions of them besides. With so many capable people on hand, why would she trouble herself with every little thing?

Yu Fei waited for a moment before he saw a woman in silver battle armor heading straight for him. Emblazoned brightly on her armor was a single, spirited word:

[Shenxiao]

Suddenly, that word triggered Yu Fei’s memories of the Yulin Army. It had been a long time since he had fought alongside Jiang Nianwei and the others.

Over the past year, the Yulin Army had often been on missions in the borderlands, making them impossible to contact.

’Looks like after this is over, I should go see them! And Fenghua, she must be a fourth-year now!’

The person who came out was Luu Yuxin. He remembered her from the Celestial Pride Positioning Competition; back then, she was a Gang Qi Realm commander of a reinforced regiment. Sensing her aura now, he could tell she had already reached the Grandmaster Realm.

Luu Yuxin double-checked Yu Fei’s location before approaching him uncertainly to say hello.

"Yu Fei?"

Yu Fei waved and retracted his faceplate.

"Mr. Luu, long time no see."

"It really is you! Quick, put your faceplate back on. The radiation in the Tiangong Wasteland is intense. The slightest carelessness can cause physical damage that’s extremely difficult to heal!"

Yu Fei was a little surprised.

"Even at your realm, you can’t avoid the damage?"

Luu Yuxin led Yu Fei forward, explaining as they walked:

"The power level of the hyper-radiation in the Tiangong Wasteland is very high. It’s an unknown form of energy that not even a Martial Saint can avoid."

"A higher realm can mitigate the damage, but can’t grant immunity. Research from Tianwen indicates this radiation is the very reason the mechanical entities in the Tiangong Wasteland are gradually mutating."

Having cultivated the Great Sun Glaze Body, Yu Fei didn’t feel anything unusual.

He had experimented on the way here. His true body could absorb this radiation to strengthen its energy reserves, although the effect was much weaker than his Great Sun Golden Flame. It was better than nothing, he supposed.

Therefore, he was immune to the damage from the hyper-radiation.

"Then what happens if you’re accidentally exposed and injured by the radiation?"

Luu Yuxin smiled and explained, "We’ve been developing this world for many years now. With the help of Yuqing University, we’ve developed some treatment serums, but they’re only effective against minor radiation damage.

Over time, it causes irreversible damage."

"We should get going. Lord Honglian has been talking about you. She’s been waiting a long time."

Honglian was Zhuo Feiming’s title as a Martial Saint. Of course, they wouldn’t address her that way in front of their master.

"Let’s go, then!"

With Luu Yuxin leading the way, Yu Fei easily entered the City of the End and looked around.

Aside from the massive, eggshell-shaped structure in the main urban area, the base of the outer wall was lined with a continuous stretch of simple experimental pods and sealed buildings.

Yu Fei could see personnel in bulky protective suits moving in and out of them.

Seeming to notice Yu Fei’s confusion, Luu Yuxin took the initiative to explain.

She adopted a very humble attitude, because Yu Fei was incredibly strong.

Luu Yuxin’s spiritual perception was not weak. She could sense a heart-stopping threat emanating from Yu Fei—an instinctive judgment that came naturally to a battle-hardened Warrior.
