Wasteland's Only King Chapter 41: Beast Meat

Wasteland, Dawn Sanctuary City.

Outer City, a secluded alley.

Swish—

A flash of light.

Yin Yao’s figure appeared out of thin air.

"Miss!"

Ye Fan and the other three had already received Yin Yao’s notice that she would be online, so they were waiting early.

"Mm." Yin Yao responded, "The thing I asked you to look into—"

She only got halfway through before stopping abruptly.

Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

Yin Yao’s gaze locked onto the black piece of ’at’ Ye Fan was holding.

"Mutated Beast at?!"

Yin Yao blurted out, her tone sharp.

"Mutated Beast at?"

Ye Fan froze, glanced down at the at in his hand, and said, "We were about to report to you..."

"Earlier today, when you weren’t online, Dawn City’s new City Lord, for so unknown reason, suddenly issued welfare to the refugees again!"

"The four of us were preparing to go outside the city to dig for crystals, but happened to run into several burly n on the street..."

"With a smack, they shoved this chunk of black at into my arms, saying the new City Lord was giving out benefits, and I’m one of two hundred lucky refugees..."

"He told to rember the kindness of the new City Lord, and made shout ’loyalty’..."

"After that, although so refugees didn’t get the black at, they were enveloped by pillars of light suddenly shot out from the center of Dawn City. No one knows what those light pillars do, but all the refugees struck by them were extrely excited, many kneeling and kowtowing right there, shouting ’City Lord loyalty’..."

Yin Yao fell silent.

"Miss, you just said this is Mutated Beast at?"

Ye Fan stared at the black at in his hand for a long ti and asked.

"Mm."

Yin Yao answered in a muffled voice.

"To be exact, it’s Tier Three Mutated Beast at."

After a long silence, Yin Yao added.

"Tier Three?!"

The four exchanged looks, all eyes wide open.

Just yesterday.

To deal with the weakest Tier Two Mutant Rat, they barely managed by paying the price of ’dying and restarting’!

But Tier Three Mutant Beast...

Could probably slap all of them into pulp with one strike!

Gulp—

At this thought.

Ye Fan suddenly felt that the black at in his hand was burning hot.

He originally thought the at looked filthy and disgusting, but it turned out... it’s at from a Tier Three Mutant Beast that he couldn’t even dream of touching!

On the other side.

Unlike Ye Fan and the others’ belated shock, Yin Yao’s emotions were incredibly complex.

Tier Three Mutant Beast!

In her past life, she died in the jaws of a Tier Three Mutated Beast King...

At that ti.

She herself had only barely reached Tier Three.

But now?

This new City Lord who appeared out of nowhere in Dawn City is just casually handing out Tier Three Mutant Beast at, and even directly giving it to ’lucky refugees’!

In other Refuge Cities—

Don’t even ntion refugees; even subordinates who contribute to the city would never get such precious resources!

Yes, resources!

Mutated Beast at itself is an extrely vital resource in the Wasteland World!

Tier One and Tier Two Mutated Beast at are the main food sources for Wasteland Wanderers, but they contain little energy.

But—

From Tier Three onward, everything changes!

Tier Three Mutated Beast at is rich in energy; rather than a food, it’s essentially an Extraordinary Resource.

"Hoo—"

Yin Yao let out a long breath.

She put away her tangled emotions.

"This at will be a big benefit for —and for you all."

While speaking, Yin Yao briefly explained the situation to the four.

And Ye Fan and the others’ expressions changed from confusion to shock, finally to excitent.

"What?"

"We’ll get stronger if we eat this at?!"

...

...

Half an hour later.

The secluded alley.

A big chunk of Tier Three Mutated Beast at had been devoured by Yin Yao and the four others.

Because conditions were rough, the beast at wasn’t even cooked with fire, but eaten raw.

The at tasted awful; it was extrely tough and unbearable.

But—

The boost it gave the five was enormous!

Rattle—

Wind and sand howled around Yin Yao.

The montum was visibly twice as strong as before.

Ye Fan and the others still hadn’t awakened, but their bodily strength and abilities were way improved.

Crack crack—

Ye Fan just clenched his fist and a bean-popping sound ca from his body.

"I could take on three of my old self from half an hour ago—no, five!"

Ye Fan was thrilled.

Ever since being killed by a Mutant Rat last ti, he had been burning with desire to get stronger.

Now, finally an opportunity!

In fact—

While Yin Yao was offline, the four of them had been diligently mining Pollution Crystals outside the city, hoping for Crystal Awakening.

But after several tries, none of them had succeeded in awakening.

"Getting closer to Tier Two."

On the other side.

Yin Yao opened her eyes, and the whirling wind and sand vanished.

"Normally, to promote to Tier Two, I’d need at least three to five Tier One Crystals..."

"But after eating this Tier Three Beast at, I only need one or two more crystals!"

Yin Yao murmured to herself, a smile appearing on her face.

In her last life,

She struggled and barely awakened, almost dying countless tis.

After Tier One, it took several more months just to promote to Tier Two.

But now?

The new City Lord’s sudden ’Mutated Beast at welfare’ greatly sped up her leveling-up!

Thinking about it.

Yin Yao looked up in the direction of Dawn Inner City.

That’s where the new City Lord is.

However—

While feeling grateful toward the mysterious new City Lord, Yin Yao also felt pity.

No matter how strong or benevolent this City Lord is.

In the near future—

That boy called Yu Jin will inevitably take over.

This was the future Yin Yao witnessed in her past life—though her rebirth might affect a few things, Yin Yao still believed that the identity of Dawn City Lord belonged to Yu Jin.

In her previous life,

Yu Jin’s ’Dawn City Lord’ title thundered throughout the whole Wasteland World. His strength always seed linked to the city’s power.

"Miss!"

Ye Fan’s shout brought Yin Yao’s thoughts back to reality.

"You asked us to gather information about Dawn City’s new City Lord..."

Yin Yao turned to Ye Fan: "Anything?"

Ye Fan shook his head, then nodded.

"Nothing about the new City Lord turned up."

"Maybe it’s because we’re only able to move in the Outer City Area and can’t enter the Inner City."

"As far as we know, at least in the Outer City Area, no one knows the new City Lord’s real na, or even if they’re male or female..."

Yin Yao nodded thoughtful.

This result wasn’t surprising; she’d only had Ye Fan and the others try out gathering info.

"But..."

Ye Fan suddenly switched topics.

"We did stumble upon quite a bit about the forr City Lord."

"He went out to hunt Infected Bodies after promoting to Tier Four and died—sothing you probably already know."

"But what you might not know..."

"Not only did he die outside the city, all the Dawn City upper managent he took with him died too!"

"We’ve confird this from many refugees; a few days ago, the City Lord led a big group of Dawn City Evolvers out of the city, and none returned."

Yin Yao’s eyes narrowed.

"You an..."

"Dawn City’s upper Evolvers were wiped out?"

Ye Fan nodded firmly.

"Yes!"

His tone was resolute.

"I even suspect that right now, Dawn City only has the new City Lord as a strong Evolver!"

"Besides the new City Lord, Dawn City’s Evolver power is hollow, almost nonexistent!"

At this point, Ye Fan paused.

"So maybe the new City Lord keeps handing out welfare—Tier One Contamination Crystals, Mutated Beast at—to cultivate new Evolvers as personal guards?"

As Ye Fan finished—

Boom—

Dawn City center.

Pillars of light and thunder dozens of ters wide crisscrossed, shooting straight into the sky!

At the sa ti—

A figure soared up from Dawn Inner City.

The figure looked slight, but the aura it gave off was overwhelming.

"City Lord’s Decree—"

"From today on, the Dawn City Guard Team will be ford!"

"Evolvers Tier Two and above can participate in selection!"

This is...

A woman’s voice!
