The Collapse Begins in Changkong City

Dusk Street

A phone rang beside a girl who had just left the orphanage. The girl answered the phone with some confusion.

"Hey, hey, Danzhu, why are you calling all of a sudden?"

["Danzhu: Pado, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?"]

[Padre: "Okay, let's start with the bad news."]

[Danzhu: "Bad news, Wang Tang's life support cells have broken down."]

Pado's eyes widened instantly, and she said into the phone in disbelief, "How is this possible?" Pado shook her head as if unwilling to accept reality.

But Paddo remembered there was more good news.

[Padre: What's the good news?]

Danzhu sensed the despair in Pado's voice when she said those words.

[Danzhu: "Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. The good news is that Brother Wang Tang has woken up."]

[Padau: You're not lying to us, are you? If you are, we'll definitely get Mebius to deal with you.]

[Danzhu: How could I possibly lie to you about something like this? If something like this happened, I definitely wouldn't be lying to you.]

After hearing Danzhu's assurance, Pado hung up the phone.

Pado's eyes lit up with excitement as she exclaimed, "That's great! Brother Wang Tang has finally woken up!" Pado didn't even realize that her eyes were already wet.

"I'm going back to the Moth of Fire today."

Pado originally wanted to leave directly, but after thinking for a while, she decided to tell Aponia and Qianjie the good news first.

Moths of Fire: Ordinary Soldiers' Dormitory Area

Hua's dormitory

Looking at Hua, who was already unconscious, Wang Tang laughed and said, "Hua, your alcohol tolerance is a bit low."

But Hua, who was already asleep, couldn't refute him at all.

Wang Tang picked Hua up in her arms and carried her to Hua's room. The door clicked open.

Wang Tang stepped into Hua's room and walked step by step to Hua's bedside.

He carefully placed Hua on the bed.

"Hua, I wish you a wonderful day." After saying this, Wang Tang decided to go out for a stroll.

But before he could take any action, several text message notifications reached his ears.

Wang Tang was a little confused and thought: I just woke up, who could have sent the message?

Wang Tang picked up her phone and started looking at it.

The person who sent the text message had the name "Pado" in their contact name.

Wang Tang clapped her hands and said, "How could I forget about Pado? I knew it felt like something was missing."

[Pado: Brother Wang Tang, are you awake?]

[Padma: Please reply to me when you wake up.]

[Padre: Please reply to me soon.]

Seeing these messages warmed Wang Tang's heart. After reading them, he immediately opened the message editor.

[Wang Tang: Pado, I'm back.]

The moment the message was sent, Pado sent another message.

[Padre: That's wonderful, that's really wonderful, you're finally awake.]

[Wang Tang: Yeah, I'm back. Where are you now? I'll come pick you up.]

[Pado: I'm in the orphanage on Dusk Street.]

Less than 10 seconds after Pado sent the message, a figure appeared in front of them.

The moment Wang Tang landed, a figure rushed into his arms.

After catching the figure, Wang Tang stumbled and almost fell.

"Hey, Pado, have you gained weight? Look, I almost fell over," Wang Tang teased.

Paddy quickly let go and checked her figure. "Wait a minute? I've been controlling my diet the whole time!"

"Haha, just kidding, how could my little Paddy possibly get fat?" Wang Tang said with a smile.

Pado punched Wang Tang in the chest with her little fist and said...

"Hmph~, Brother Wang Tang, how could you joke about a young girl's weight?"

Just as the two were flirting, Qian Jie, who was in the distance, bulged his veins and said impatiently.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough. If you keep going like this, I'm going to take action."

Wang Tang then noticed Aponia and Qianjie just a few meters away.

Wang Tang said somewhat awkwardly, "Long time no see!"

Aponia and Thousand Tribulations nodded.

"I heard you got attacked on your own turf?" Qianjie asked with some curiosity.

"Haha, I did indeed faint the moment before I even saw the enemy," Wang Tang said awkwardly.

Wang Tang didn't see any provocation or mockery on Qian Jie's face; instead, she saw a solemn expression.

Or rather, everyone present now wore a solemn expression.

"What's wrong? Why are you all making that face?" Wang Tang asked, looking at everyone with some confusion.

"You're asking what happened? You were instantly killed by someone, that's just too much..." Qianjie shook his head and sighed, indicating that this person was beyond saving.

Seeing that Wang Tang didn't understand Qian Jie's meaning, Aponia sighed and slowly spoke.

"Does 'thousand tribulations' mean that you were killed in one move by someone else, so why are you still so relaxed?"

After hearing Aponia's explanation, Wang Tang suddenly understood, shrugged, and said...

"There's nothing we can do. That person is too strong; their strength is on a completely different level."

Wang Tang thought to herself, speechless: "This is hilarious. I have the world's largest confidence system, and he's no match for that person, let alone me."

Qianjie asked with some curiosity, "Then do you really know that person's strength today?"

Wang Tang shook her head and slowly began to speak.

"I certainly don't know his exact strength, but I do know he could crush me with one finger."

Pado, who had just taken a sip of water, was so frightened that she coughed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Wang Tang walked behind Pado, patted her back, and said in an annoyed tone.

"Pado, how come you choked on your water?"

"Cough cough, it's not that I was scared by your words!" Pado said, speechless.

"Mr. Wang Tang, may I ask, since that person is so powerful, why are you still alive?" Aponia asked in confusion.

"Can't I say this?" Wang Tang spread her hands, indicating that she really couldn't say this.

Aponia put her hand to her lips and said, "Are there any restrictions?"

Wang Tang nodded and said, "Yes, there are indeed limitations. If I reveal too much, none of the people who hear my words will have a good ending."

Pado timidly tugged at Wang Tang's clothes and said, "Brother Wang Tang, how about I... let's talk about something else?"

“Alright then,” Wang Tang said slowly, looking at Aponia and Qianjie, “would you like to join the Firemoth?”

Aponia, as if she had expected this, said, "Of course, but I have one condition?"

Wang Tang looked at Aponia curiously and asked, "Then tell me what your conditions are?"

“I hope you can find a place where the children in the orphanage can live peacefully.” Aponia’s usually calm face showed a hint of tension.

Wang Tang fell into thought, feeling that each of the places she had visited was somewhat lacking.
