Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Wang Chen, who had landed on Tampas Star, was actually quite disappointed.

The main reason Wang Chen agreed to undertake this rescue mission was for the World Source, but he didn't expect the situation on Tampas Star to be quite different from Senhai Star, at least he didn't sense the existence of Source Force.

However, Wang Chen wasn't planning on giving up in despair.

First, the ship that was to pick him up would only arrive a month later; second, he was somewhat interested in the strange energy that caused this planet to become a tech-restricted zone.

In addition, Xu Chengzhi was also considered a fellow comrade, if Wang Chen could save him, he was still willing to bring Xu back.

Walking around the completely wrecked landing ship, Wang Chen casually chose a direction and continued forward.

His plan was to use this landing ship as the origin point, then conduct a thorough search within a one hundred kilometer radius to find Xu Chengzhi's whereabouts.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly small number of a hundred kilometers, the area is actually over ten thousand square kilometers.

Without any high-tech equipment, including space battleships and satellite assistance, it's practically an impossible mission for a single person to search such a large area.

Except for Wang Chen, who mastered spiritual energy!

Wading through knee-high long grass, Wang Chen looked up at the sky.

Dark clouds densely covered the sky, countless arcs of electricity flickered within the clouds, creating a barrier that blocked peering from outer space.

Therefore, even though there was a powerful escort ship above Wang Chen's head, it couldn't provide him with any support.

Everything depended solely on Wang Chen himself.

The first problem he faced was the countless flying insects.

Little finger-sized bugs flew up from the grass, darting toward Wang Chen like flies drawn to the smell of blood.

Wang Chen could see their sharp mouthparts clearly!

Though he wore a specially made combat suit capable of resisting small arms attacks, Wang Chen didn't want these creepy insects to envelop him.

He activated spiritual energy to form armor outside his body, blocking all these annoying creatures.

Within moments, the flying insects attached to this invisible armor formed a dense layer, even obstructing Wang Chen's view.

Wang Chen frowned slightly, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes instantly.

The flying insects surrounding him trembled in unison, then plummeted to the ground, forming a thick layer around him.

But as soon as Wang Chen eliminated one batch of insects with spiritual energy, new ones arrived tirelessly.

Helpless, he could only accelerate forward, rushing past a thousand meters to free himself from the insect disturbance.

Just as Wang Chen caught his breath, dark green figures appeared around him.

They were animals resembling wild wolves, somehow they had targeted Wang Chen and quietly followed him, treating him as prey!

These Wolf Beasts were very cautious; they didn't hastily attack and instead cruised a hundred meters away, gradually shrinking the encirclement.

They were clever, not only collaborating seamlessly but also applying psychological pressure on their prey!

Unfortunately, these Wolf Beasts missed the target completely.

Wang Chen halted.

Facing the constantly approaching beasts, he calmly reached out and grasped.

Suddenly, a shotgun was in his hand!

Before arriving on Tampas Star, considering its special circumstances, Wang Chen had ordered a batch of gunpowder weapons with no electronic components through Xu Shaocheng.

Gunpowder firearms were considered ancient weapons within the empire, commonly seen in military museums, and had been phased out by the military hundreds of years ago.

No companies produced them.

But with the empire's technological level, replicating such weapons was exceedingly easy; Xu Shaocheng didn't even outsource the task, manufacturing Wang Chen's order directly through the Xu Family's enterprise.

Wang Chen stored tons of weapons and ammunition in the Starry Seas Ring, enough to fight a small-scale war, specifically to deal with potential enemies on Tampas Star.

Although spiritual energy is powerful, it requires spiritual power to sustain and isn't limitless.

The result was that he quickly put them to use upon landing.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Accompanied by the boom of the shotgun, Wolf Beasts were blasted apart, emitting cries of agony.

Wang Chen's custom weapons focused on large caliber and high power, ignoring recoil but maximizing lethality; one shot from a hundred meters could break a Wolf Beast into pieces.

Moreover, Wang Chen could use the Starry Seas Ring to cheat, replacing the spent shotgun ammunition with a fully-loaded one, ensuring continuous firepower.

The group of Wolf Beasts that treated him as prey was in for a blood-soaked disaster, quickly decimated with over a dozen killed.

Wang Chen's aim was precise, hitting every target accurately.

The wolf pack was startled; the remaining Wolf Beasts emitted angry yet fearful whines, then fled with tails between their legs.

Wang Chen didn't pursue them, put away the shotgun, and continued forward.

An hour later, he climbed the nearest high point and began a spiritual energy search for suspicious targets.

As expected, Wang Chen found nothing.

Truth be told, searching like this is akin to buying lottery tickets — whether he finds anything depends on luck. Unfortunately, Xu Shaocheng didn't agree to his suggestion of bringing Xu Chengzhi's twin sister over as a search tool.

As time passed, the sky grew darker.

Though unafraid, Wang Chen found a nearby cave to shelter himself for the first night on Tampas Star.

The cave was small but spacious enough for one person; Wang Chen cleared out the debris and dead leaves inside, then took picnic supplies from the Starry Seas Ring.

Pots, pans, a barbecue grill, various ingredients, and meats, he made himself a rather lavish hotpot meal.

After eating and drinking well, Wang Chen tidied up briefly and laid out a sleeping bag on the ground.

He leaned against the rock wall and closed his eyes.

Tampas Star lacked a satellite moon, with only sparse stars visible in the night sky, the ground was almost completely engulfed in darkness, nearly pitch black.

At midnight, it started to rain, wind howled bringing raindrops into the cave, forcing Wang Chen to find a large rock to block the entrance.

The next morning, the rain stopped, but the sky remained gloomy.

Wang Chen left the cave and continued his search.

Estimating to have walked over a hundred kilometers, he changed direction.

After hiking several dozen kilometers, an abandoned city appeared in Wang Chen's view.

It was a small city, with few tall buildings, the structures were scattered but mostly overgrown with vegetation, evoking a strong sense of historical melancholy.

Wang Chen walked in.
