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

Mo Xin suddenly appeared, standing gracefully beside Yan Ziming with the figure of a young girl, her eyes filled with pessimism, "Ziming, your progress during this period has left her far behind."

To put it simply, Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue were both progressing at a relatively constant pace. Although Yan Ziming was always ahead, the gap between them never widened too much.

However, since Yan Zimo reached the eighth level, his progress has not slowed down at all. On the contrary, it is like he is on a rocket, which completely defies common sense.

In this situation, Ye Qianxue was quickly left behind.

Seeing Ye Qianxue working so hard, Mo Xin felt deeply for her.

If it weren't for the fact that she and Yan Ziming shared a common destiny, and that her progress would greatly benefit her, Mo Xin would have been left far behind and would have found it difficult to catch up later.

Seeing Mo Xin's dejected expression, Yan Ziming simply raised a finger, waved it in front of Mo Xin, and smiled smugly:

"Tsk tsk, Mo Xin, you've overlooked one thing: she is my sister."

"..."

Seemingly already knowing what Yan Ziming wanted to say, Mo Xin smiled happily.

In terms of innate talent, Ye Qianxue was no less talented than Yan Zimo, and even surpassed him. In terms of acquired talent, she did not fall behind when absorbing the sea serpent crystal core. It was only after she became a Thunder Spirit that the difference suddenly became apparent.

Now, Ye Qianxue has awakened the bloodline of Si Mo, which is related to the "dragon" that has been famous throughout history. In the future, her progress will be as fast as lightning, far exceeding that of ordinary people.

“Since she’s my sister, how could she be ordinary? Just watch, in the coming period of time, she will definitely be reborn before my eyes.”

5. The origin of the deep red color of western Tibet

After observing Ye Qianxue's battle and confirming that she wouldn't be at a disadvantage for the time being, Yan Ziming took out a card.

This card may seem ordinary and commonplace, but the three large characters printed on it make its value immeasurable.

--pioneer.

During the pioneering campaign, many pioneers were given cards. After the campaign ended, the government announced that the title of "pioneer" would be permanently retained, and the cards that were distributed would continue to shine in their hands.

This is Yan Ziming's own Pioneer Card, which has many more functions than other people's cards. She gently pressed her thumb on the lower right corner, and after fingerprint recognition was completed, a holographic map appeared in front of her.

Yan Ziming pointed to a red dot on the edge of western Tibet, "We are... at this location, more than 500 kilometers from the Himalayas and more than 700 kilometers from Sara. We can only be considered to be in the edge area..."

There's a reason why Yan Zimo paid special attention to these two regions.

Although the Himalayas are located on the edge of Tibet Province, they are actually the most dangerous place, and no one knows what kind of monsters are hiding there.

Secondly, there is Sara, a city known throughout the country before the apocalypse. It is the capital of Tibet Autonomous Region of China, and every year tourists flock here, creating enormous wealth for the local area.

Unfortunately, after the apocalypse, due to its remote location, harsh climate, and vast territory, it was extremely difficult for the army to fight here. The supply of materials could not keep up with the rate of consumption because of the high altitude. Instead, mutated species spread like wildfire throughout western Tibet, and the entire western Tibet province was declared overrun. China was never able to invade again and never set foot here again.

Most importantly, hundreds of kilometers beyond Sara are nuclear radiation zones!

At that time, the war situation was critical, and a sequence-level mutated species had emerged. Nuclear bombing had become commonplace, and the damage to the environment was deadly. Nuclear radiation has not yet completely dissipated.

The real reason is not this.

At that time, the nuclear weapons technology of the superpowers had reached an extremely advanced stage. Even if nuclear weapons still had nuclear radiation, the residual period of their radioactive materials was very short. Within a few years, they should have dissipated completely.

The real culprit is the nuclear power plant.

It was already 2020, and the domestic situation was very good, so there was room to turn attention to other places. As a result, Tibet West Province ushered in a period of rapid development.

However, rapid development requires the support of energy conditions. Coincidentally, China had already taken the lead in the world in the construction of fourth-generation nuclear power plants. As early as two years ago, it had been planning to build local nuclear power plants and had built three at the same time. By 2020, they were almost completed.

However, 2020 was also the year the end of the world came.

It was that same sequence-level mutated species that emerged from beneath the nuclear power plant in Sara City, with flames shooting into the sky and releasing large amounts of high-energy radioactive material that even reached the atmosphere.

Worst of all, this sequence-level talent skill was unfortunately related to "energy amplification," which directly led to the destruction of Tibet. It was like a "nuclear sun," radiating light that brought death, becoming a huge source of nuclear radiation pollution, a walking "dirty bomb," leaving thousands of dead and millions of corpses in its wake.

Within half an hour of it breaching the nuclear power plant, Sara was turned into a ghost town, with all its inhabitants dead and no one escaping!

Their deaths were all caused by exposure to nuclear radiation levels thousands or tens of thousands of times higher than what the human body can withstand. Their spinal cords died, their hair fell out, and their organs and soft tissues decomposed. There was no possibility of rescue, and it was even more tragic than being directly bitten to death by a mutated species.

The military is also helpless against it and can only use beyond-visual-range strikes to attack it. However, conventional weapons are useless against the Sequence-class. As soon as it gets within tens of kilometers of a city, soldiers begin to experience adverse reactions. Even without the Sequence-class taking action, they will die tragically from the ever-increasing nuclear radiation.

Finally, with no other choice, the Chinese government, in order to avoid causing unbearable damage to other areas, decided to make the painful decision to launch a nuclear missile at the cost of the entire Tibet province after evacuating as many civilians as possible!

It is important to understand that once a nuclear bomb hits a sequence of targets, the enormous amount of contaminants it releases, far exceeding the amount released by conventional methods, will spread throughout western Tibet with the nuclear explosion!

For decades afterward, there was no possibility for China to reclaim western Tibet.

This is a last resort; if we let that sequence-level creature live, the entire country of China will suffer.

The nuclear bomb hit the sequence-class aircraft, but it's uncertain whether it died because its body was not found. However, the nuclear contamination did spread throughout most of western Tibet, and even neighboring Anxi was greatly affected.

The fact that Tibet West Province was classified as a deep red-level occupied zone, on par with the African continent, is largely due to its powerful nuclear radiation.

This is why Yan Ziming took special care of Sarah.

To this day, no one from China has set foot in the heart of western Tibet. Not even the most basic reconnaissance has been conducted there. The nuclear radiation there is severe, and sending people there would be suicide. There is no way to carry out any reconnaissance.

The intense nuclear radiation has made it impossible to conduct human and equipment exploration, so for many years the Chinese government has been able to leave it alone and wait and see.

But Yan Ziming's main purpose for this trip was to go deep into the heart of western Tibet and explore it.

This place has been abandoned for several years, and they have no idea what changes have occurred inside. Perhaps some unexpected changes have taken place, which could eventually pose a huge threat.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to preventing problems before they occur, so Li Haoyi assigned her this task before she left.

It was called a mission, but it was really just a request. Yan Ziming could go or not, since Yan Ziming's survival was more important to China than investigating the situation there.

Mo Xin asked, "Zi Mo, do you want to go and take a look inside the heartland?"

"Yes, since we're already here, we can't not go. I'm also very curious about what changes have occurred here during the years it's been abandoned."

Yan Ziming nodded in approval.

So many people in China aren't confident they can accomplish this, so what makes her think she can?

Her greatest confidence stemmed from the fact that she was already a higher level of life, and that nuclear radiation theoretically had no effect on her.

But this is only in theory. She still needs to try it out a little before jumping in headfirst, because that would be suicide.

At that moment, a tremendous fluctuation came from where Ye Qianxue was, and an aura of annihilation spread out, reaching Yan Ziming's side.

As the space collapsed in large sections, many mutated species were swallowed up. Of the more than a thousand mutated species, only a few hundred remained.

Yan Ziming frowned. "There are still over a hundred enemies left, and she's almost out of fuel. How can she possibly fight the rest?"

Upon reflection, Yan Ziming realized that he had been too strict with her. Even when he was at the seventh level, he might not have done as well as her.

But the next second, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Ye Qianxue's hands transformed into jet-black dragon claws, covered in scales, her eyes were crimson, and her tail whipped around, emitting a series of fierce howls.

Yan Ziming stared in astonishment at this scene, deeply shocked.

"Hey, buddy? Is this going to be hand-to-hand combat?!"

6. The ultimate sister complex and older sister complex

Faced with an attack from thousands of C-level or higher mutated species, Ye Qianxue had never been so serious, and she fully activated her spatial abilities.

The space here is like a twisted piece of waste paper, crumpled into a ball, layer upon layer, making it impossible to see what happened inside. The spatial structure that extends for dozens of miles from here is unstable, the landscape has changed drastically, and it is in a terrible state of destruction.

There are currently five A-level mutated species remaining, with the rest being C or B-level. This lineup would be difficult for even a reinforced armored battalion to deal with, and in close combat, they would be completely wiped out.

Yan Ziming wanted to see how his sister, who was already nearing exhaustion, would deal with the remaining hundred or so mutated creatures.

But what happened next shocked her.

Ye Qianxue's delicate hands underwent a transformation. The sunlight was swallowed up and instantly covered with a layer of scales that shimmered with obsidian light, making them appear indestructible and capable of withstanding even large-caliber machine guns.

Furthermore, her slender fingers were replaced by carapace-like claws, each several centimeters long, with tips gleaming coldly.

Just looking at it gives one a sense of invincible sharpness.

Then there was the tail that left a deep impression on Yan Ziming; the fleshy ball at the end had turned into a jet-black feather, making it appear even more elegant and noble.

This feather looked as light as a feather, but it was actually as hard as divine iron. With a gentle brush against the ground, the earth seemed to be sliced ​​through by a divine weapon and lifted up.

The remaining hundred or so mutated species stopped at the same time, sensing a peculiar suppression emanating from Ye Qianxue.

This suppression did not stem from Ye Qianxue's own strength, but rather from a suppression on another level.

They were suddenly extremely wary of her and dared not approach. Instead, they circled slowly about fifty meters away from Ye Qianxue, as if searching for an opportunity or observing something.

But Ye Qianxue moved first, shattering the rocks on the spot with one foot, and the huge recoil force sent her flying a hundred meters into the air.

In their daze, they seemed to see a black dragon spread its wings and swung its ferocious claws at them as it swooped down.

boom!

The ground bulged up, as if a meteorite had crashed into the very center of them, and a black aura emanated from it.

The black aura, faintly visible, disturbed the space, carrying a barely perceptible silver glow, and was omnipresent.

An A-level predator was drawn into the situation and was immediately entangled in countless threads. Finally, the space in which it was located collapsed as if it had been subjected to immense pressure, swallowing it up as well.

Violence—

The air howled sharply, and a razor-sharp wind pressure swept in all directions.

A dark shadow flashed by, and a Class B mutated species was split in two from head to tail, its blood splattering forward for hundreds of meters as it was propelled by the wind pressure.

Ye Qianxue emerged from the void, blood dripping from the tip of her right claw, falling to the ground in a steady stream. It wasn't hard to imagine how that B-grade mutated species had died.
