Chapter 792: Chapter 553: Arriving at Guleng Star_2
The surroundings were a block of buildings that obscured the sky, with the height of each building generally exceeding one hundred ters and the styles significantly different from those on Water Blue Star.
Besides being tall, each building was also especially wide, occupying a very large area.
There were passages connecting each building, giving the impression that the people here might not need to touch the ground and could simply survive within the buildings.
Zhang Xiaoman was currently on a very wide highway on the ground.
The highway did not seem to be intended for cars, and its specific purpose was unknown.
He looked up at a building not far away and felt that he must now be on the edge of this city, with an endless field on the other side.
The fields were full of withering flowers and grass.
“Whoosh~”
A breeze blew by, carrying a few naless plants past his face, and Zhang Xiaoman imdiately let out a sigh of relief.
“There’s wind, it seems there is air here…”
As he spoke, he took out a thermoter from a tool box he was carrying and started observing the temperature.
“Hmm… 17 degrees… quite similar to Water Blue Star… It seems I too should be able to survive here.”
Subsequently, he used other instrunts to asure so data here, such as humidity, pressure, etc.
These were all chemical reaction-type asuring devices, not like ordinary machinery, and they still functioned under this red glow.
Eventually, after a series of tests, Zhang Xiaoman finally confird one thing.
That was, the data for all aspects of the planet he was currently on were very close to those of Water Blue Star.
He could be fully exposed to the air without being hard.
“Alright, that makes things much easier.”
Removing his cumberso spacesuit, Zhang Xiaoman felt a sense of relief.
Wearing that bulky suit in a strange and eerie environnt had made him very uncomfortable.
“Whew~~~”
He took a deep breath.
The air quality here was quite good, surprisingly better than he had imagined.
At least in the cities of Water Blue Star, there was no air as fresh as this.
“Hmm… no problems with gravity either, if it weren’t for the fact that the city here is just too sci-fi and all the nearby light is red, I might still think I was still on Water Blue Star…”
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoman moved to a big pit on the ground, which had just been created by a Jump Missile.
It must be said, the strength of this missile was truly high.
It had withstood such an impact without damage, seeming completely unaffected.
Using a manual valve chanism, he opened the compartnt above and took out his Purple Cloud Divine Sword.
Activating his Sword Control Technique, the black sword flipped and ca to float quietly in front of him.
Stepping onto it, he imdiately soared into the sky, his form turning into a blur as he flew toward the city filled with towering buildings in the distance.
Zhang Xiaoman had seen hundred-ter-high buildings before, quite a few on Water Blue Star, even two hundred, three hundred ters tall buildings were plenty.
But a scene like this where every single building was as tall as a hundred ters was sowhat inconceivable.
The city before him was completely like the future cities in sci-fi movies.
A hundred-ter building was just the beginning, there were eight hundred ters, even up to a thousand ters tall ones.
Zhang Xiaoman was now high above the city, from this angle he could clearly see many things.
This place was completely different from the scene he had seen on the ground earlier, what t his eyes was like a picture of apocalyptic ruins.
Countless buildings had collapsed, destroyed; all he could see were ruins and wreckage.
Nurous thick smokes had been burning for who knows how long, still staunchly emitting their heat.
In the sky, the moon “Vanessa” bathed the land in its dark red light.
Combined with the scene before him, it felt like even one more glance could suffocate soone.
“Are there any living people here…?”
A big question mark ford in Zhang Xiaoman’s mind.
Lowering his flying altitude a bit, Zhang Xiaoman decided to take a closer look at the city.
“Boom!!!”
An explosion sounded.
A building nearby collapsed.
Several fragnts of rock flew towards Zhang Xiaoman, but he waved them away with a flick of his hand.
He glanced in that direction but didn’t spot anything unusual.
Explosions like this happened from ti to ti.
Zhang Xiaoman guessed that the spread of fire in the city had probably reached sothing that caused the explosion.
However, just as he was about to fly away, he suddenly detected a movent through his Spiritual Vision.
He saw a figure from the silhouette that resembled a human, with a head and limbs.
But Zhang Xiaoman knew it wasn’t a human. He was all too familiar with it—it was a Mutant!
“Mutants… indeed, there are still monsters here.”
He maneuvered the Purple Cloud Divine Sword closer and got a clearer view of the scene below.
It was a Mutant, running.
Its body, like those he had encountered before, was slender, hunched, and ugly.
That Mutant seed to be chasing sothing, rapidly weaving through the buildings.
Zhang Xiaoman focused and faintly sensed so movent about a hundred ters in front of it.
It looked like there was soone fleeing.
“A living person?”
His heart stirred, knowing he might have encountered a survivor.
It made sense. Although the crimson glow was terrifying, it required direct exposure to take effect.
Probably, at the onset of the disaster, many people were unaware and were instantly infected and turned into Mutants.
But once that initial wave passed, the following people naturally understood the danger and wouldn’t foolishly step into the range of the crimson glow anymore.
Moreover, being in an area full of skyscrapers naturally provided protection, so it was very normal for survivors to appear here.
Several thoughts raced through his mind, and Zhang Xiaoman imdiately made up his mind.
Light from the Purple Cloud Divine Sword flared beneath his feet, and he surged forward towards that direction.
At that mont, inside the building.
A frail figure was running swiftly, pursued by a grotesque monster over two ters tall.
The one fleeing was a young girl; by her appearance, she wasn’t very old.
The girl’s na was Narui.
Since the disaster had burst forth, she had been hiding in her ho, never venturing outside.
As a hobody, she constantly had a large stockpile of compressed food at ho.
This food was not only tasty but also affordable.
Most importantly, they were convenient—just needing water to transform into a variety of delicious als.
Narui had managed to survive until now by relying on the food she had stored.
She couldn’t even rember how long she had held out; it might have been three months, or it could have been half a year.
The ho appliances didn’t work anymore, and the communicator was broken.
No signals, no lights, everything had ceased to function.
She didn’t know how she had managed to get by during this ti.
If it weren’t for the pressure-reactive water supply system in every building, she might have died of dehydration in the first few days after the disaster unfolded.
Narui was aware that besides herself, there were many other survivors in the city.
And indeed, people had appeared near her place, seemingly in search of food.
But she didn’t open the door to et them.
She might be a hobody, but she wasn’t foolish.
Narui knew very well what human nature could turn into in such apocalyptic environnts.
So she stayed hidden, avoiding contact with the outside world as much as possible.
Besides fearing other people, the other thing that terrified her was sothing else.
She had last heard soone outside her door ntion it. It seed to be called Savardo, the monster that was currently chasing her…
