Wasteland's Only King

Bailu City, City Lord’s Mansion.

Pale blue light dispels the originally dark night.

Extremely abundant life attribute energy envelops the guard captain at the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion and the dozens of severely injured guard team members on the Martial Arts Plaza outside.

“Ah~”

The Tier Four guard captain involuntarily lets out a comfortable hum.

In his previous battle with Su Chen, he sustained heavy injuries. Although he wasn’t on the brink of death, he was barely alive.

But now?

Yu Jin casually waves his hand.

Bang——!

The guard captain, who was originally kneeling on the ground, unexpectedly jumps up in place.

“Healed?”

“I’m healed?”

“Everyone’s healed?”

“It’s simply healed beyond perfect!”

The guard captain’s face is full of surprise and delight.

His gaze towards Yu Jin sitting in the position of City Lord, once filled with a trace of skepticism and doubt, is now completely clear.

He was originally perplexed—

How could a strange youth occupy the City Lord’s seat that belonged to Bai Zhining, and Bai Zhining and Zhong Muqing both seemed to show him great respect?

And now?

In an instant, just a moment.

When all his injuries are completely restored as if in a daze.

The guard captain’s gaze becomes clear!

Thud——!

“Boss!”

Just as he stood up, the guard captain kneels down again.

But this time, it’s not due to injuries, but kneeling with both knees to show allegiance.

On the other side.

On the Martial Arts Plaza.

The guard team members, who were previously groaning and howling due to injuries, now stare wide-eyed at each other in disbelief.

“What happened?”

“How am I healed?”

“It felt like just a moment…”

“Was it Lord Bai who did it?”

“It seems off, though it’s the same type of attribute energy, the level obviously differs so much…”

Dozens of guard team members involuntarily move to the front of the City Lord’s Mansion door.

What comes into view are the guard captain kneeling with both knees, Bai Zhining and Zhong Muqing standing with heads bowed in front of the council hall, and…

The youth sitting high on the City Lord’s position, unfamiliar in appearance, yet possessing a uniquely mysterious aura.

Thud——!

The guard team members mimic the captain’s actions and kneel down collectively.

“Thank you, Boss!”

They shout in unison.

However, Yu Jin does not stop his actions.

Swoosh——

He reaches out and waves lightly again.

Buzz——!

This time.

The entire Bailu City suddenly shakes.

“This is…”

Bai Zhining watches Yu Jin’s actions, feeling the familiar life attribute energy surging crazily from all around, dumbstruck.

“Master is…”

A bold guess arises in Bai Zhining’s heart.

And then.

Buzz——!

The verdant light seemingly brewing for a long time in the void bursts forth.

Swoosh——!

The entire Bailu City is swept by the blue light.

At this moment.

Regardless of the inner city or outer city, whether an Evolver or an ordinary person, everyone stands in place.

“This, this…”

“My injuries…”

“My injuries that were treated by Lord Bai but hadn’t fully recovered, how are they suddenly healed!”

…

“Mama!”

“My broken leg, it, it grew back!”

…

“Uh?”

“How did I awaken?”

…

“Not bro…”

“Why is black mist ’sizzling’ from your body?”

“What’s wrong with my body, it’s coming from yours too!”

“Hey, that’s not right!”

“My pollution level is rapidly decreasing…”

…

Indeed, it was so.

Yu Jin’s seemingly casual action used not only the healing effect of life attribute energy but also carried a bit of ’Purifying Light.’”

Speaking of which.”

Ever since Dawn City was promoted, Yu Jin hasn’t extensively used Purifying Light for a while.

The reason is simple—

Subordinates of Dawn Fortress use Energy Crystals, which are almost entirely pure, without any pollution.”

Pollution, the challenge that troubles nearly all players of the ’Wasteland’ game, whether in the high or low dimensions, high-level or low-level civilizations, becomes utterly insignificant in Dawn Fortress.

“Yu City Lord!”

Bai Zhining’s shout brought Yu Jin back from his thoughts.

“Hmm?”

The long-lost title of ’Yu City Lord’ made Yu Jin raise his eyebrows slightly.

“Can I address you like this?”

Bai Zhining slightly lowers her head, her voice somewhat subdued.

“That’s fine.”

Yu Jin casually responds and then asks, “What’s the matter?”

“Yu City Lord…”

“Zhining wants to know…”

“Were you just now, or are you currently, using life attribute energy to heal all citizens of Bailu City?”

Bai Zhining asks anytime, but her tone already carries a hint of certainty.

At the same time.

Zhong Muqing, the guard captain, and a crowd of guard team members all look at Yu Jin with admiration.

“Hmm.”

Yu Jin responds, but then he shakes his head.

“To be precise…”

“Not just Bailu City.”

As the words fall.

The people in the council hall are once again stunned.

Even Su Chen, who had been staring at Yu Jin with eyes full of doubt and hatred, visibly paused upon hearing this.

Buzz——!

Rumble——!

At the moment Yu Jin’s words fall.

An even more dazzling and radiant verdant light than before spreads from Bailu City to all directions of this Wasteland Wilderness!

At this moment.

Looking down from above this planet, one could see—

The green light, like ink falling into a pond, spreads in all directions.

The speed of its spread is indescribable.

To the extent—

That within just a few breaths.

Zone 007, where Bailu City is located, with its hundreds of Refuge Cities, is completely shrouded.
