I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

No, actually it's quite fast.

Since her affinity for lightning elements broke through 98%, her speed of absorbing external energy is about 40% faster than when she was at the seventh level. In addition, she can also recover on her own, so the speed is about 70% faster overall.

However, compared to the recovery speed during elementalization, this speed is utterly crushed and there is no comparison whatsoever.

According to Yan Ziming's expectations, it would probably take one or two hours to recover from this condition.

However, there is still a way: accumulate enough energy to activate elemental transformation.

Activating elementalization consumes about 30% to 40% of your energy, so you'll be fine once you recover to that level.

Moreover, there are shortcuts available.

"Xiaoze, do you still have it with you?"

Yan Ziming suddenly asked, and Ye Qianxue was taken aback before replying, "Yes, bring him. Xiao Ze, come out quickly."

As she spoke, Ye Qianxue forcefully pulled a 'sea cucumber' out of her chest.

Looking at the 'sea cucumber' that knew it had caused another big trouble and therefore dared not utter a sound, Yan Ziming sighed helplessly.

From Bai He's words, we can learn that Xiao Ze's awakening at this time was entirely due to Liu Mengxian's actions, so it's no wonder he's not to blame.

If anyone's to blame, it's that they're too weak; they can't offer any help and aren't even qualified to know about this.

But Yan Ziming still wanted to extort Xiao Ze a bit more, since it would be a waste not to use such a highly nourishing substance!

"My request isn't unreasonable, just one!"

Yan Ziming raised a finger, and combined with her words, the meaning she wanted to express couldn't be clearer.

"Meow--"

Xiaoze made a token protest, and then experienced the 'pain of having his beard cut off' by Yan Ziming, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"Alright, Xiaoze, be good, be good. Your older sister had no choice."

Ye Qianxue comforted the aggrieved Xiao Ze, stroking its fur like a nanny, while Yan Zimo broke the Qilin whiskers in half and handed one half to Ye Qianxue.

"Swallow it when you feel unwell, understand?"

"Ah."

After saying that, Yan Ziming swallowed the half of the Qilin whisker into her mouth. A burning sensation appeared in her lower abdomen, causing her skin to turn slightly red.

Although the Qilin whiskers are specifically for replenishing Qi and blood, they cannot directly replenish energy loss. However, when the body's Qi and blood are sufficient, the recovery speed will naturally be much faster. Yan Zimo has already felt that his recovery speed has increased significantly.

【How about another power bank...】 Yan Ziming felt it wasn't fast enough, so he used his backup plan.

"Mo Xin, give me some help."

"I heard you! You're using me as a power bank!"

Mo Xin said angrily, "I'm so amazing and so extraordinary, how could you treat me like a power bank?"

Although she was very angry, she knew that there was no time to lose, so she obediently transferred her energy to Yan Ziming.

If the other two people did this, they would most likely explode on the spot due to the energy conflict.

Yan Ziming and Mo Xin are of the same origin. Even the energy that Mo Xin needs to maintain her physical form is directly drawn from Yan Ziming. Since they are of the same origin, there will be no problem.

Yan Ziming felt his body suddenly become full.

"Hmm, as expected of my little loli, how could she possibly be compared to something as low-grade as a power bank!"

"Hmph! I suspect that what you just revealed was what you truly felt!"

"How could this be! My little loli is so cute~~"

It took a lot of coaxing to calm the restless little girl, Mo Xin. By this time, Yan Ziming had almost recovered and activated her elemental transformation.

The lightning within his body collided rapidly, like nuclear fission, increasing in number. The thunderclouds that had collapsed due to the forced dissolution of elementalization reformed re-condensed, and pure lightning elements were continuously falling from afar.

Starting from Yan Ziming's hands, a blue, crystal-like sheen appeared, which then spread to other parts of his body.

The moment Yan Ziming activated his elemental transformation, his aura seemed to weaken, but then it rose at an astonishing speed, quickly returning to its peak.

"Phew... this state is still the most comfortable."

Yan Ziming exhaled a breath rich in lightning elements, and blue-purple fragments drifted in the wind.

"Let's go, Qianxue, we've rested long enough."

Yan Ziming took Ye Qianxue's delicate hand and they returned to the very center of the battlefield through a spatial rift.

Yan Zimo unleashed the Thunder God's Whip, a move he hadn't used in a long time. The Thunder God's Whip was a technique he created to deal with group battles, and it was perfect for dealing with beast tides.

boom--

With a single lash of the whip, lightning flashed everywhere, more awe-inspiring than a tank battalion's volley. Many eyes were drawn to the beautiful figure who had disappeared for about ten minutes.

"It's the Commander-in-Chief!" someone shouted, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.

Yan Ziming's appearance gave a boost to the already high morale of the Chinese superhumans, who were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and couldn't wait to fight alongside him.

But as the commander-in-chief, Yan Ziming had to ensure that these guys' lives wouldn't be wasted because of her poor decisions, so she chose the simplest method.

— Governing by doing nothing.

"Listen up, everyone. Maintain formation and defend this area. The military will handle the rest."

Yan Ziming shouted loudly, "It's better to maintain the status quo than to give orders arbitrarily. It's more effective to keep things as they are now."

If you lack the ability to command, then use your own strength to step up; you can quickly rush to the aid of whichever side is in danger.

With a sudden flick of his whip, Thor's Whip sent countless bolts of lightning spreading across the ground for hundreds of meters. Debris flew everywhere, and more than a hundred mutated creatures died instantly from Yan Ziming's whip.

Even the slightest glancing blow will cause weak mutated species to explode instantly, while those of grade B and above will suffer severed limbs and wail in agony.

In fact, given Yan Zimo's combat strength, he didn't need to activate his elemental transformation to deal with these small fry; it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

However, in order to deal with unexpected situations and prevent unforeseen circumstances, Yan Zimo still chose to activate elemental transformation. Anyway, no matter how much he consumed, he could quickly replenish it, so what was there to be afraid of?

The phrase "one against a thousand" perfectly describes Yan Zimo at this moment.

She single-handedly stopped nearly 30% of the mutated species that broke through the military's artillery defenses, while the rest, led by more than 20 seventh-tier warriors, posed no threat whatsoever.

Aside from Yan Ziming, Ye Qianxue was the most outstanding performer. When the World Annihilation was unleashed, the terrifying pulling force even affected things further away, causing everything to shatter. No mutated species could get close to her.

Her team was the least busy; even when a few stragglers occasionally escaped, the team members would still rush to deal with them.

"Idiot, how long can you maintain this kind of domain expansion?"

Yan Ziming tapped her on the head and scolded her.

Ye Qianxue stuck out her tongue. "Hehe~ Isn't my older sister here...?"

"Stop talking nonsense. You are the team leader now. You need to work together with your teammates and not act tough all by yourself."

Yan Ziming wasn't buying it. She was now the commander-in-chief responsible for the lives of her subordinates, so she still had to reprimand them. It wouldn't be good if someone else followed Ye Qianxue's example.

Startled by Yan Ziming's stern attitude, Ye Qianxue shrank back slightly and nodded pitifully, a few tears welling up in her eyes, but they were quickly replaced by the delusions in her mind.

"It's okay if you're a little stricter with Qianxue, big sister..." These words, spoken like a lovesick girl, slipped out, causing Yan Ziming to stumble.

After glaring at her fiercely, Yan Ziming noticed that the thick fog in the west had mostly dissipated, and the situation was largely settled.

With the equipment and firepower of the Seventh District military, there wouldn't be any major problems even without their support; defeating the mutated species was only a matter of time.

The real deciding factor was the constant rumbling from the north.

Chapter 115 Flesh and Blood

Vast fluctuations came from the north from time to time, and the earth-shattering sound drowned out everything; even the military's volley of ten thousand artillery pieces could not match it.

The ground trembled continuously as the battle raged in the north, and spiderweb-like cracks spread to the rest of the battlefield, each as thick as an arm. The state of the very center was unknown.

"Tsk tsk, the fighting up north is really fierce..."

Yan Ziming clicked his tongue in amazement. Even when fighting the Grim Reaper, it was no more than this. The battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth collapsed, the sun and moon were dimmed, and it could be clearly felt from dozens of miles away.

However, Yan Ziming was not particularly worried about the safety of his uncle and the others.

Yan Shan is no longer the same Yan Shan from the Yongjing Campaign. He has transcended the insurmountable barrier of human physical fitness and reached the Sequence level, with a longer lifespan and greater combat power.

When two players of the Sequence level meet, it's generally difficult to determine a winner without a fight lasting four or five hours.

Even though Yan Shan once admitted that he was no match for Qing, as long as he didn't seek death, what danger would he face?

Moreover, with ten ninth-tier experts joining him to besiege Qing, their chances of winning are still very high.

Even the strongest in the Sequence level hasn't reached the Soul Heaven Realm. At most, it's just a level forcibly inserted between the Ninth Order and the Soul Heaven Realm. Strictly speaking, it hasn't transcended the Ninth Order.

Even a ninth-tier being can threaten a sequence-level being; this was the conclusion reached during the Yongjing Campaign.

"But why do I feel something's so strange...? What about when my uncle said that Qing was the real sea serpent?" Yan Ziming was completely baffled.

At this time, the superhumans belonging to China had retreated to the city wall, and the superhumans of the Seventh District military took over the area. Yan Ziming's "commander-in-chief" career lasted only about an hour before it ended.

In just one hour, Yan Ziming felt like she was carrying so much weight that it was about to break her back.

Yan Ziming still couldn't figure out why the national leadership had appointed her as the commander-in-chief, yet they all agreed to it—that was the most bizarre thing ever.

Bai He said this was a form of insurance, and also mentioned that the future would be very difficult, leaving Yan Ziming completely confused.

"Dismissed, all personnel, return to the embassy!"
