My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 367 - 187: ‘Love’ Like a Tidal Wave (Part 4)
Every direction was a street piled with garbage.
Tall, dilapidated buildings lined both sides of the street.
And he was completely lost.
As if abandoned by the world.
He tried to find footprints on the ground, to see if any other player had been here.
But although there was dust on the ground, there were only his own footprints.
Even his own footprints were only in place, with none around—he seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
It seemed like no one had been here for a long time.
Clearly, this was an abandoned city.
At this moment, beside a rusty, wheel-less car ahead, a shadow trembled slightly, then slowly crawled up.
"Someone?"
Yang Yuan was overjoyed, thinking it was an injured player, and hurried over to ask, "Hello, do you need help..."
Suddenly, the figure turned sharply, terrifying and hideous, especially with an appearance so unbelievably ugly, it broke him out in a cold sweat, fear electrifying through him.
"Damn, is there something that ugly in the world?"
His scalp tingled.
Most of the exposed skin of this thing was gray-blue, oozing blue pus, and its eyes were a mixture of gray and blue.
The aura of a level sixty being emanated from it, shaking him—wasn’t level fifty the highest on this tier?
Could there have been something wrong with the previous fog?
"That’s right, the space in the Yellow Sand Continent was unusual, could I have inadvertently crossed a space boundary?"
"Wait, did I unleash a burst of power while escaping just now?"
So, did I inadvertently ascend to a fifth-tier continent? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Dammit, feels like I’ve been screwed by this unfinished game again.
In less than half a second, these thoughts flashed through Yang Yuan’s mind.
"Roar..." Just then, the figure before him roared and lunged.
Startled, Yang Yuan instinctively grabbed something from the trash pile, mustered all his strength, and hurled it.
With a loud "clang," the hideous thing was slammed to the ground.
"Damn you for scaring me!"
Terrified out of his wits by the ugly creature, he seemed forced to unleash his potential, wielding what looked like a metal chair and continued pounding.
"Clang..."
"Damn it!"
"Clang!!"
The sound of smashing echoed down the silent street, which had been quiet for countless years.
Until the chair, made of unknown material, was deformed and the humanoid monster was thoroughly smashed, blue blood flowing out.
Only then did Yang Yuan breathe a large sigh of relief, gradually recovering from the immense scare caused by the atrocious creature.
But the fright just now had forced out his potential, making him exert himself beyond limits, and now waves of fatigue hit him, leaving him a bit dizzy.
"This place is not right, the world level seems higher. Even with my mid-Earth level strength, I feel fatigued here!"
He was shocked in his heart, the pressure of the world here definitely surpassed that of the original Creation Continent.
Fortunately, having just pulverized a level sixty monster, a relatively decent amount of the Power of Creation appeared within him.
The fatigue that had just set in was gone in an instant.
...
"That self-proclaimed Marvel Supplier Conceptual Superpower User has left the fourth-tier continent and successfully entered the fifth-tier continent, Levin City."
"Good, his attack power was too outrageous, best to let him operate on the fifth-tier continent. Besides, the fourth-tier continent can no longer provide him any growth anyway. With the game rules protecting him, he’s not going to die. Keep an eye on him afterward; this person has great potential. Let him grow quickly, the Celestial Lock may need him to break it."
The two mighty beings in the alliance’s upper echelon had a brief communication and then stopped paying attention.
...
Yang Yuan was contemplating whether to retrace his steps, to find a way back.
Just then, possibly due to the noise, the surroundings began to stir one after another.
Yang Yuan hurriedly turned his head to look.
In the trash pile, humanoid monsters were slowly crawling out one by one.
Even within surrounding buildings, on roofs of wheel-less vehicles, and on advertising signs, humanoid monsters were starting to wake, trembling as they climbed up.
Those monsters, as if asleep for too long, had stiff bodies, and as they rose, their bones cracked, blue-skinned bodies continuously oozing blue fluid.
Having recovered from the fright, Yang Yuan was completely rational again, but still felt his scalp tingling.
"All level sixty..."
He was already cursing internally, because these monsters reminded him of one kind of creature—zombies!
If they were mere regular zombies, he wouldn’t be afraid no matter how many there were.
But damn it, these were all level sixty!
"Roar..."
Some monster roared.
The next moment, all the humanoid monsters roared and charged toward him.
Yang Yuan hurriedly shot out an arrow of flowing light.
"Boom—"
The struck monster exploded instantly.
But the shockwave only threw monsters within ten meters, leaving those further away unscathed.
And those monsters were too fast, crossing hundreds of meters in an instant.
Yang Yuan’s scalp nearly exploded, he quickly turned and ran.
"Roar, roar..."
The humanoid monsters behind him roared in crazy pursuit, monsters that tripped got trampled by others, and those fallen roared, extending their hands forward.
"Whoosh..." Yang Yuan sprinted with all his might, vanishing down the dilapidated street.
In an instant, he dashed five or six kilometers away.
"Roar, roar..."
"Roar, roar, roar!!"
Yet the monsters behind were relentless.
The roaring awakened more and more monsters, joining the chase in ever-increasing numbers and flanking from both sides.
"Whoosh!"
Yang Yuan dashed down the long street—
Monsters behind roared and chased.
"Whoosh—"
Through an alleyway—
Monsters roared as they climbed and chased over roofs, surging like a tsunami, crossing thousands of meters per second, terrifyingly fast.
"Whoosh—"
Over a broken bridge—
"Roar, roar!!!"
More and more monsters, those unable to find a path even scaled buildings or sprinted across rooftops.
At a glance, the entire rearview range was filled with those humanoid monsters.
Yang Yuan kept a cold expression as he sprinted, suspecting someone had framed him, but he had no evidence.
"Don’t let me find you!"
He snorted, eyeing the tens of thousands of level sixty monsters closing in like a tidal wave. He suddenly pulled out the Treasure-Collecting Gourd, unplugged it, then transferred a thousand Earth-level Cores from the Void Ring to the Gourd, activating it.
A blinding white light shone ahead.
Within less than a tenth of a second, the white light disappeared, the thousand Earth-level Cores depleted.
But in that instant, the ancient ruins ahead shattered.
"Boom—"
Not only did the ancient ruins shatter, even the whole continent trembled as the massive landmass, suspended in the atmosphere of the former Creation Continent, split in half.
Hence a cliff appeared ahead, the entire city was suddenly cut off.
As the continent ahead plunged due to its inherent falling trait, it gave way to a terrifyingly deep darkness.
"Roar!!"
A slew of monsters roared, scrambling over buildings, charging as a zombie tidal wave.
Yet Yang Yuan’s face remained unchanged as he dashed off the cliff, flying.
The engulfing swarm of humanoid monsters, unable to stop, followed him and plummeted.
Rapidly descending, Yang Yuan focused his senses, readying the House Foundation Core bead from his Safe House for mid-air placement.
But at this instant, spatial mist reappeared.
A faint dizziness ensued.
The next moment, the mist vanished, revealing a vast, endless gravel continent below.
Yang Yuan was stunned, but in that brief pause, he collided directly.

[I originally planned to write a second Chapter, but with a boss pressing me and noticing it was already nine-thirty, I decided to just release it all together. This Chapter is seven thousand words. Please vote for me!]
