25: The still-destroyed Starry Safe Zone

Starlight Club

“Jiangcheng No. 1 High School is just ahead!” Old Niu was excited. He would soon find his son, but he wondered if his son had chosen a Shelter. High schools were all enclosed, and he couldn't contact his son at the time.

Sister Wang raised her hand, and the people behind her immediately stopped: “There are many Infected at the school gate. We’ll climb over the wall from another spot!”

Sister Xiao Cao said: “Leave it to me. I’ll go in first to check. If it’s safe inside, I’ll pull you in.”

“Alright.” Sister Wang nodded.

A green vine appeared under Sister Xiao Cao’s feet, binding her waist and pulling her over the wall.

Soon, the green vine reappeared, along with Sister Xiao Cao’s voice: “Everything is safe. All the Infected inside Jiangcheng No. 1 High School have been cleared out!”

The green vine coiled around the others, beginning to bring the members of Starlight Club into the campus.

At this moment, a group of people walked out of the teaching building.

It was the team of students Tang Ping had encountered.

Zhou Zheng walked over and recognized Old Niu: “Uncle Niu, you’re here.”

“You rascal, it really is you!” Old Niu exclaimed in surprise. This Zhou Zheng was his neighbor and had actually awakened an S-rank Talent!

Sister Wang also smiled at this moment: “Zhou Zheng, I won’t say anything formal. In short, from now on, Starlight Club is your home. We are all family. Stay and we will help and support each other; even if you leave in the future, as long as you don’t do anything outrageous, we will still consider you family!”

Zhou Zheng looked at the expectant Uncle Niu, pondered for a moment, and nodded: “Okay, Sister Wang, I’ll join!”

“Hahaha, welcome, welcome!” Sister Xiao Cao happily came over and patted Zhou Zheng: “From now on, you’re the second player with an S-rank Talent in our club!”

“Let’s go, pack up your things. We’re going to Four Seasons Lake.” Sister Wang’s eyes flickered.

“What are we doing at Four Seasons Lake?” Zhou Zheng asked, puzzled.

Sister Xiao Cao blinked: “Our club has a little brother who found something good there!”

“Something good?” Zhou Zheng was also a little curious… At this moment, in a tall building, a group of people were also ready to depart, seemingly preparing to leave.

“Director Sheng, has the helicopter not arrived?” Wang Yanyan asked, puzzled.

A tall, handsome man stood in front: “It was attacked by a strange bird. The helicopter can’t come anymore.”

“Strange bird?” Wang Yanyan wondered what kind of strange bird could attack a helicopter.

Sheng Tianqi’s gaze was profound: “The world has begun to change, not just people, but also every plant, bird, beast, insect, and fish. Everything is changing.”

Wang Yanyan nodded thoughtfully.

“Then where do we leave Jiangcheng from? To Sheng Family Villa?”

“Tianhua Avenue.”

...At noon, Tang Ping once again felt a pull from his consciousness. He knew he was about to transmigrate again.

He quickly hid the Shelter and himself inside. Although he would return at the same time, Tang Ping still habitually hid this body.

Tang Ping lay obediently on the bed, his consciousness sinking into darkness.

When he woke up again, he was in Zone 66.

“I wonder if history has changed. Is the Safe Zone now under the jurisdiction of Shengtian Group or Starlight Club?” Tang Ping got up and hurried to the internet cafe.

His soul was not in this timeline, so even if history had changed, he wouldn't know immediately.

The internet cafe manager looked at Tang Ping strangely.

After all, in the manager’s eyes, Tang Ping had just left and now he was back again.

Tang Ping paid another three sheng tian coins and began to calculate in his mind that he had to earn some money, otherwise he would soon become a pauper.

So he planned that after checking the information, he would prepare to go outside the Safe Zone to hunt some Pollution Beasts for money.

Finding a spot, Tang Ping began to search for the Safe Zone.

But the result made Tang Ping silent again.

He had indeed changed history. The Safe Zone, which was originally occupied by Shengtian Group fifteen years ago, became ten years ago.

Many people even remembered this terrible battle.

There were even some videos that were filmed.

『On that day, the Celestial Empress of Azure Heaven and the Molten Flame Heavenly King of Xingyao Safe Zone were besieged by two Heavenly Kings and one Heavenly Empress. Five people standing at the pinnacle of power, their terrifying Talents and abilities, even dispelled the haze covering the sky!

The scorching Molten Flame was like the legendary blazing sun, and the immortal green vine pierced the sky!

But under the betrayal of three peer-level powerhouses and a friend, the Celestial Empress of Azure Heaven and the Molten Flame Heavenly King, both poisoned, ultimately fell.

The leaders of Xingyao Safe Zone were hunted down and annihilated. This massacre gradually subsided only three years later, with countless people perishing in this catastrophe.

Finally, that terrifying Hegemon-level Power took over Xingyao Safe Zone. From then on, the Safe Zone was renamed Sheng 14 Safe Zone, with Empress Lihua in charge.

However, it is said that the former leader of Xingyao Safe Zone, the mysterious Sister Wang, is still missing. Her bounty remains at the top of the Sheng 14 Safe Zone bounty list.』

Tang Ping closed the webpage and sat silently in place.

He originally thought that Starlight Club was targeted by Shengtian Group because it only had one not-so-powerful Heavenly Empress, which led to its demise.

But now that there was a powerful Molten Flame Heavenly King, Shengtian Group actually sent out two Heavenly Kings and one Heavenly Empress!

“It seems that to ensure Sister Wang and the others survive, simply increasing the strength of Starlight Club is not enough. We also need to weaken the strength of Shengtian Group!” Tang Ping’s eyes darkened.

“And who exactly is that Empress Lihua?”

He remembered that this Empress Lihua would go to the Tianhua Avenue dungeon.

If that's the case, then he would kill this Empress Lihua in this dungeon first!

Losing a Heavenly Empress-level powerhouse would probably be a significant blow to Shengtian Group, right?

Tang Ping suddenly remembered: betrayal?

Who exactly betrayed Starlight Club, and even managed to get close to Sister Xiao Cao and Zhou Zheng to poison them!

He opened the webpage to search, but after searching for a long time, there was no useful information.

It seemed that this betrayer was very well hidden, and even after the plan succeeded, their identity was not exposed.

If that's the case, Tang Ping mused, to find this behind-the-scenes betrayer, he would probably only be able to find out by locating the core members of the former Xingyao Safe Zone.

“Has Sister Wang still not been caught?” Tang Ping wondered, but he didn't immediately go looking for her.

He had plenty of time to make changes.

Currently, the most important thing was to constantly search for opportunities to make himself strong in the early days of the apocalypse, and then to make this body grow rapidly as well.

At the very least, he needed to grow into a Heavenly King to have the power to protect himself.

So, after realizing that it was not feasible, Tang Ping did not continue to pay attention to the Starlight Club of this timeline, nor did he plan to look for anyone.

Instead, he focused on searching for information about various opportunities. If these opportunities were repeatable, such as dungeons, he could also continuously share them with Starlight Club.

If two Heavenly Kings were not enough, then more.
