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

I still remember half a year ago, when four ninth-tier warriors from three countries confronted each other on a deserted island in order to fight over the corpse of a sequence-level sea serpent. They even got into a physical altercation, and later both sides' fleets gathered together, and war was about to break out.

Yan Ziming used to think that this was just a plot in novels, but after experiencing it herself, she realized that the world was much crueler than she had seen.

Throughout tens of thousands of years of human development, the two words that are most evident are "cannibalism."

Others are hell.

This is undisguised, and it remains so now. If it weren't for the fact that China had the strength to overcome the other side last time, they might have missed out on the Sea Serpent's crystal core.

Thinking of this, Yan Ziming asked, "What about us? Do we have enough people to 'reason' with them?"

"Including myself, Mu Mu, and Qin Tianhai, there are three of us in total, which is more than enough. If necessary, we can bring more."

Li Hao confidently recited the list, a sense of soaring pride and patriotism welling up within him.

This is the unparalleled confidence that comes from a nation's strength!

After a moment of pride, Li Hao concluded, "We've gone off-topic. The premise of dividing the cake is that we have to win. To be honest, there's a high probability that this operation will be a fruitless endeavor for us humans."

Yan Ziming pointed to himself and Li Haoyi, somewhat taken aback: "Seven ninth-rank warriors, plus so many elites, and it's still not enough?"

It's unbelievable that such a massive force, capable of sweeping across any corner of the planet, could be considered by Li Haoyi as possibly unable to conquer even a single city.

Li Hao shook his head: "Different...different. You haven't participated in their war. If you had, you would understand that it was a battle from another dimension."

"Another dimension...that's an exaggeration."

Yan Ziming looked at him with a smile.

If that's the case, then the ninth rank could be considered an existence from another dimension. If even that can fail, then wouldn't humanity be doomed?

Li Hao scratched his head: "Well, there is indeed some exaggeration involved, but this opponent is extraordinary. I advise you not to think too highly of the outcome, and to always think of the worst-case scenario."

Yan Ziming's gaze turned cold: "You mean we'll all be..."

"No, it's not that bad. No matter what, we are powerful. At worst, we'll just pay a price and return empty-handed. I'm just reminding you to be vigilant. Of course, we also need to guard against the possibility that they might try to take us all down with them when they're cornered. Last time in Russia, those guys from Saranti blew up the entire base. We didn't get anything and almost lost all our men."

"In short, this operation is a joint action of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and all mankind, aimed at eradicating this suddenly emerging prehistoric civilization and maintaining the glory of our human civilization."

"To put it bluntly, you're just after someone else's inheritance, right?" Yan Ziming said directly.

"That's right, that's how it is. The essence of survival is plunder. Prehistoric civilizations want to make a comeback, want to grow stronger, want to recreate the glory of their ancestors. But now that Earth belongs to humanity, their actions will inevitably put them on the opposite side of human civilization. Conflict is unavoidable. Either they plunder us, or we plunder them."

Li Hao nodded slightly, which was taken as an admission.

“I don’t deny that there are other values ​​besides plunder, but I’m telling you, what we’re doing now is plunder, with both righteousness and selfishness, and everything will be decided by fists and feet.”

Yan Ziming puffed out his cheeks slightly and waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, alright, why bother with all that high-sounding principles? I'm not a child, of course I understand these principles."

Li Hao smiled slightly, his gaze towards Yan Ziming somewhat intoxicated.

He admitted that he had a great liking for Yan Ziming. Yan Ziming was the girl he had been in contact with the most during this period, and her shining qualities had deeply attracted Li Haoyi.

If only... if only I had met her a few years earlier!

Unfortunately, that's impossible now. From his conversations with several senior figures, especially Mo Sheng and Yan Shan, he vaguely sensed that they had taken a "hands-off" approach to certain aspects of Yan Ziming's problem, and he also had some understanding of the current "atmosphere of sexual orientation".

In other words, Yan Ziming is a woman he can never have.

"Ah. We've arrived." Yan Ziming's voice startled him, bringing him back to his true self.

Yes... before falling in love, I was a soldier.

Soldiers must prioritize protecting their country and its people; everything else must take a backseat.

"Maybe... romance and love are just not for me."

With a wry smile, Li Hao suppressed his selfish thoughts, strengthened his resolve, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the war.

Chapter Five Unexpected

"Wow...wow, it's huge!"

"Seeing it with your own eyes is definitely more impactful."

Li Haoyi and Yan Ziming looked at the magnificent city in front of them, feeling somewhat uneasy.

What a magnificent civilization! To leave such a legacy for future generations after millions of years, and for it to still function properly, is truly a masterpiece.

"Have Senior Tianhai and Mu Mu gone in yet?" Yan Ziming asked.

"Yes, they've all gone in already, let's go in now."

Li Hao had made thorough preparations. He had already explained the mission objective and the characteristics of the enemy to everyone, and now he was repeating the instructions again:

"Pay attention, nothing here can be deduced using our usual way of thinking. This is an adversary whose technological civilization is at least a hundred years ahead of ours. Many things are beyond common sense. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the crew responded in unison.

"Okay, let's disembark!"

As soon as Li Hao pressed the button, the hatch opened, and the fishy smell of the ocean, unique to the deep ocean, wafted in.

Yan Ziming left second. The moment she stepped into this city forged of steel, she knew that humanity was completely outmatched in this respect.

hum-

The sky suddenly darkened, plunging into eternal darkness. After a dozen seconds, it erupted like a volcano, spewing out countless stars. Mysterious and vast fluctuations traveled from a great distance.

In that direction, there is a pointed tower.

"Let's go there!"

Li Hao immediately spoke, leading everyone to rush there at high speed. Yan Ziming moved even faster, leaving them far behind.

That fluctuation just now wasn't from anyone else, it was from Mu Mu; she had already started to get serious.

This also shows that the enemy has become so powerful that it has made her take things seriously!

...............

Let's go back to the moment when Qin Tianhai wanted to destroy the Spire Tower.

"Is the defense system ready yet? Do you want us to be completely wiped out by humans?!"

"One minute left! Almost there!"

It all has a hysterical feel to it.

Technicians experienced the same despair that ordinary people feel when downloading games, with the download speed dropping to a snail's pace after reaching 90%.

This final ten percent made everyone's hearts clench.

If we succeed, no matter how many troops the human side sends, it won't matter!

"Hey, wait a minute, can you see someone outside?"

Someone seemed to have discovered something through the surveillance system and zoomed in on the image.

"what?"

Everyone looked in that direction.

"Holy crap, that's—! Qin Tianhai! What's he doing here?! It's only been a few minutes? That's way too fast!"

"Quickly! Send the word! We can't let him succeed!"

They knew the appearances of all the ninth-tier humans by heart and instantly recognized the person as Qin Tianhai, causing chaos to erupt inside.

The vast ocean surged behind Qin Tianhai, with towering waves crashing onto the land and ravaging everything in its path.

At the same time, towering waves appeared around him, descending from the heavens and about to fall onto the spiked tower.

Before that, a pale blue light appeared first, forming an oval dome that covered the seawater. The seawater that fell on it immediately dispersed in all directions and returned to the ocean.

Qin Tianhai's pupils dilated slightly.

"Oh dear... I didn't expect someone to suddenly barge in... Or am I too late?"

An aged voice came from the top of the spire. Qin Tianhai looked up and saw an old man who looked to be over eighty years old.

Without a doubt, his attack had just been blocked by him.

"Ninth rank... quite a foundation." Qin Tianhai sneered.

"We have never had any enmity with you. Are you here to declare war on us?"

The old man slid down from above and landed steadily not far from Qin Tianhai.

"Your actions are already a declaration of war against all of human civilization. There's nothing more to say. Trying to stall for time won't work on me!"

Qin Tianhai made a sudden move, and the surrounding sea level instantly rose by hundreds of meters, shaking the entire ancient city as if it were an earthquake.

"As expected of the Sea God, choosing to fight you on the open sea was a real mistake... Without some help, this old man would have died here."

With a flick of his sleeve, the old man sent out a disc that floated high in the sky, expanding to a hundred feet in size. The disc was adorned with countless crystals, dazzlingly bright. With a turn of its divine light, all the seawater vanished without a trace.

If Yan Ziming were here, he would know that this disc is the replica of the "White Night" that Lance used to deal with him, and now they have dug it up again.

It could easily block Yan Zimo's Spear of Victory back then, but now that it is being used by a ninth-tier user, its performance has been greatly enhanced. It blocked Qin Tianhai's three attacks in a row, but showed no signs of cooling down.

Qin Tianhai couldn't help but feel anxious. He had a premonition that if it was any later, it would be too late!

Unfortunately, this guy's defense was like a tortoise shell, impossible to break, impossible to push back, and impossible to advance an inch!

Meanwhile, inside the main control room, the atmosphere had begun to turn festive.
