The two groups of survivors met, with one side wanting to leave, escaping that hellish place.
The other side longed for the beautiful living environment there and wanted to settle in.
However, this matter was not difficult to decide, as Su Ya’s side had a powerful ally in Zhang Xiaoman.
Soon everyone reached a consensus, and the survivors from both sides united to set off toward the park together.
The journey that followed was no longer as calm as it was initially.
Along the way, the group encountered some mutants, and even two mutant exotic beasts.
But these were not problems in front of Zhang Xiaoman; facing these mutants with low levels of dark energy, he dealt with them very easily.
He just needed to find the right angle and timing, and even with a Wind Blade, he could kill a large exotic beast in one strike.
There was no need to waste energy with the red seal he used before.
That seal was an Exorcism Technique he obtained from a large gift pack, consuming as much as 774 points, constituting a very powerful single-target skill.
Of course, there’s an even higher-level one: the Soul Extinguishing Spell.
However, that one consumes a lot more dark energy, and without a Time Imprint, he would almost run out of energy after using it once.
The park is located on the 30th to 40th floors of a building, with a floor height of 30 meters, making it a very suitable space for a park.
This artificial park was broader than Zhang Xiaoman expected, featuring simulated natural landscapes like artificial rivers, hills, and forests.
If one didn’t know beforehand, it would be difficult to tell that one was indoors.
The original group of survivors was scattered by a monster, and now only ten could gather.
They previously stayed inside an employee dormitory in the park. Although the conditions were not particularly good, it was at least a place to stay.
At this moment, the dormitory was in shambles, with blood everywhere, and dismembered limbs scattered around.
Huge claw marks indicated the situation just now. Clearly, that giant mutant had assaulted the survivors’ camp.
"We were just here then, and the monster charged in from the east, breaking through the wall and biting everyone it saw..."
A survivor pointed to a small piece of ruins not far away.
Zhang Xiaoman looked over, and beyond the broken wall, he could vaguely see the depths of the park.
It was a forest, with many trees knocked over due to the giant wolf’s impact.
He first asked the survivors to gather the bodies, following their customs, and found a place to bury them.
Then he used the Cleaning Spell and Recovery Spell to restore the environment here to its original state.
Such a miraculous scene once again captured everyone’s respect.
From now on, this camp will temporarily become the foundation for the Star Alliance’s foothold here.
"Narui, come over here for a moment."
Zhang Xiaoman called Narui to a secluded area.
"Lord Jixing, what is it?"
He handed a wooden board to her.
"This is a Star Alliance Marker. As long as you have it and master the corresponding Teleportation Technique, you can use it to travel anytime. I will place it in a secure location later, and you need to take care of it during this time. Under no circumstances let it be damaged."
He cautioned carefully.
This board was originally from the Dawn, which Zhang Xiaoman brought here. In the Dawn, he replaced it with a separate Star Alliance Marker.
Narui understood its value as soon as she heard it was used for teleportation.
On her home star, Guleng Star, they never even touched the threshold for teleportation.
Such advanced technology could have granted a seat in the Federation Supreme Council in the past.
She felt very happy that Zhang Xiaoman trusted her so much, and she solemnly accepted the board, promising:
"Rest assured, Lord Jixing, I will do everything in my power to protect it! As long as I have breath, I will not let it be damaged!"
Zhang Xiaoman smiled slightly and shook his head seeing how serious she was:
"There’s no need to go that far. If something really happens, life is the most important. When it’s time to give up, give up."
He said this because he had already made other preparations.
The Star Alliance Marker on this wooden board consists of ten pieces forming a Teleportation Array, allowing ordinary members to use the Teleportation Technique.
However, just relying on this would not put him at ease.
What if one day there’s an unexpected situation and the board gets damaged, losing contact with Guleng Star?
Therefore, without Narui’s knowledge, Zhang Xiaoman separately inscribed four standalone Star Alliance Markers.
These markers are scattered in other corners of the city, allowing him to teleport there anytime he wishes. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
Meanwhile, Narui was moved by Lord Jixing’s words.
He was more concerned about her safety, which made the girl blush and secretly gave rise to a trace of affection.
"Alright, I leave the task here to you. I will return first. I might not come back for a while." Zhang Xiaoman suddenly said.
