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

A white streak suddenly appeared in the distance, like a sharp sword that could cleave the sky and split the earth. The air there was instantly blown to its limit, tearing apart the shock wave. The fireball generated by the neutron bomb explosion in that area was actually cut in two by it, like a blazing flower with its stamen cut off.

After the shockwave cleaved through the neutron bomb's impact, it left behind a trail of dark cracks that would never dissipate, from which slivers of starlight shot forth, constantly twisting and turning...

This is a spatial rift, forcibly cleaved open, severing everything in its path; the creation of heaven and earth seems to have been accomplished in a single thought.

Along with the shockwave came a piercing shriek, more chilling than any demon from hell. The soldiers at the front were thrown into chaos, as if they were facing not a mutated species, but a group of demons from hell.

"It's a Skeleton Hunter!?"

Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue's expressions immediately turned serious. This battle had actually involved a Sequence-level Skeleton Hunter in person?!

After careful observation, their tense bodies relaxed.

Because its aura wasn't as strong as the Skeleton Hunter's, not even comparable to the Grim Reaper; at most, it was only an SSS-level creature.

However, this is powerful enough. This SSS-class is the one Yan Ziming encountered before entering the nuclear radiation zone. It is extremely powerful. According to Yan Ziming's judgment, only people in the Void Mirror realm should be able to deal with it.

Yan Ziming knew that Yan Shan was not here, which meant that apart from Mo Sheng, no one present could control it.

However, Mo Sheng only possessed the strength of the Divine Gathering Realm, and it would be quite difficult for him to face an existence whose danger level was no less than that of a tyrant.

Just then, an unexpected person made a move under her watchful eye.

A graceful figure slowly rose from an inconspicuous corner, moved forward, and appeared in front of the air wave in the blink of an eye.

"Xingwan?!" Yan Ziming was speechless. What had happened during the six months he was away?

The Great Sage raised his hands, and more than a dozen tentacles shimmering with orange light rose from the ground, climbing upwards and instantly entwining themselves around the airwave when it reached their position.

The tentacle was quite flexible and was not immediately severed, but it still made a crackling sound as it broke.

hum-

The Great Sage's floating body landed silently without stirring up a speck of dust. His tentacles also moved downwards, thus lowering the air currents. Finally, with a dozen or so powerful strikes, the air currents were pulled into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

Thus began the duel between the two powerful beings.

At this moment, a large number of mutated species began to rush out from the area where the neutron bomb exploded. Their numbers were terrifying, their sizes were enormous, and their power was extremely strong.

"Tank units open fire, bomber formations bomb according to plan, electromagnetic guns target S-class and above, Dragon Soar hold your position, superhuman formations are ready to join the battle at any time."

Mo Sheng's command came through the walkie-talkie. Yan Ziming looked at the scene and felt a surge of excitement.

"Qianxue, it's time to put you to a test. Are you confident?"

"Hehe! I promise I won't let my big sister down!"

Ye Qianxue smiled easily. After this period of training, she felt that the hundreds of thousands of mutated species were no problem at all. She could fight her way in and out of them all by herself.

Yan Ziming marveled at the incredible vitality of these guys.

As expected of beasts all at level C or above, they won't die unless a shell hits them right on the head. The military's artillery fire efficiency has dropped sharply, and the mutated species are advancing at an unstoppable pace.

After the military's firepower stubbornly sprayed several waves, a relatively large number of mutated species finally broke through the fire network. The overwhelming force frightened some of the new recruits so much that their hands were trembling.

"Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing—"

Heavy weapons on the city walls, such as close-in weapon systems, began to spew fire intermittently, the dense sound of gunfire sending chills down people's spines.

Bang bang bang bang

The mutated species at the front only had to be grazed by bullets before half of their bodies rotted away, the sound of flesh and bone shattering echoing in the air. Only the stronger ones could withstand a few more bullets, their bodies rapidly "shrinking" until not even bone fragments remained.

"Roar--"

With a deafening roar, a giant rock flew in from afar. As it approached, some people trembled. When it finally came into view, they realized that the rock was more than ten meters tall!

Rumble!

At that moment, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, shattering the boulder in an instant. The force of the lightning and fire explosion knocked down several artillerymen nearby.

Although the boulder was shattered by lightning, a large piece of it still struck a close-in weapon system (CIWS) from a height of two meters, rendering the CIWS unusable and bending its barrel into an L-shape.

"Haha... Oops, oops..."

Yan Ziming sneered, but no one blamed her.

If she hadn't intervened, that boulder, falling from that height and at that speed, could have blown a section of the city wall away!

Most people's attention wasn't on the rock itself, but on the direction from which it had been thrown. The earth there rumbled and trembled, splitting open a large crack that was widening rapidly. At this rate, it would reach the city wall in less than five minutes.

This made many people's expressions change; this guy is definitely a 'wall killer'!

They must be killed as soon as possible!

Moreover, behind them were many enormous figures, some tall and some short, but the shortest of which was seven or eight meters tall, carrying fierce artillery fire and advancing with overwhelming force.

Just when Yan Ziming thought it was time for the superhumans to make their move, the war machine that had been waiting suddenly started moving, its entire body emitting terrifying cannon barrels, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

Countless artillery burst forth from Longteng, suppressing the leading giants so much that they couldn't raise their heads. The intense firepower was equivalent to several armored divisions; if it could be used for plowing fields, it would definitely be a boon to the people.

At the same time, more than a dozen orange-red dots lit up in the sky. The military's ballistic missile units launched them, planting one golden sun after another, specifically targeting those big guys.

However, no one has dealt with the guy who caused the earthquake.

Suddenly, a beam of light, orange-red in color, shot out from the city wall, leaving a burnt smell in its wake. The precisely calibrated beam instantly pierced the ground, striking the entity underground.

"Roar!!!"

A deafening scream of pain erupted, and a gigantic creature emerged from within. However, a piece of its body was clearly missing, and the pain from the wound drove it into a frenzy.

Yan Ziming turned his head to look at the place where the laser beam was emitted. It was a futuristic-looking weapon, resembling a power drill, but with a beauty that power drills lack.

"Damn... is this an enlarged version of Crimson Flame?"

33. Rolling

The battle has entered a critical stage.

Despite the introduction of many new weapons, the quality of the enemy was still too high, and it soon entered a stage where superhumans had to confront them head-on.

"Those three S-class enemies, aim all the electromagnetic cannons and fire! The rest, leave it to the superhumans to handle!"

"And that SS-rank guy, Chi Han, aim him down! Make sure he doesn't hurt any of our own people!"

"Yes!"

The number of high-level combatants among this mutated species is astonishing, comparable to the mutated species attack of over three million that Yan Ziming experienced in Beian City before.

There are approximately sixty S-rank creatures and six SS-rank creatures. There is one SSS-rank Reaper, which is exceptionally powerful.

It should be noted that what has appeared in human sight so far is only a few hundred thousand, which is nearly ten times less than three million.

This demonstrates the formidable strength of the Crimson-class occupied territories.

If it hadn't been cleared by nuclear bombs, who knows how many more would have been there.

“It’s our turn,” Old Wang said to his team members, stopping his conversation with Yan Ziming. Then he looked at the Yan sisters hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something but didn’t.

Yan Ziming waved his hand dismissively, "It's alright, we'll do whatever your mission is."

"Hehe, forget it. I can't command the two of you. Besides, you shouldn't waste your strength on our side. Your battlefield should be in a wider area."

Old Wang chuckled bitterly, but he was telling the truth. It was a huge waste to have Yan Ziming, the strongest fighter below the ninth rank, help them fight small fry.

"Then at least let my sister stay."

Yan Ziming squeezed Ye Qianxue's small hand to calm her down.

"Uh..." Old Wang looked at Ye Qianxue's murderous gaze and wondered whether he should agree.

In the end, he agreed because his team did need the support of a high-level spatial ability user.

"Qianxue, do a good job! This is my evaluation of you, don't let me down."

"......Um."

Ye Qianxue reluctantly agreed, but since Yan Ziming had already said so, she had no choice but to obediently accept it.

"Let's go then!"

"Oh!"

As soon as Yan Ziming made a move, all the superhuman teams behind him followed suit, taking him as a benchmark and starting their own missions with great enthusiasm.

Crackling... crackling...

Lightning surged, and a square domain enveloped the surrounding area for two thousand meters, turning this place into a death inferno. The scorching lightning pierced the air, and the moment it struck the ground, it would splash out a hot stream similar to magma, with extremely terrifying power.

Immediately afterwards, the lightning domain rolled forward like a wheel, pushing horizontally across the land. Wherever it passed, the soil and rocks melted and crystallized, leaving behind a pile of 'charred matter' whose original shape was no longer recognizable.

These are all mutated species struck by lightning. Once struck, all the blood in their bodies evaporates, their flesh and tissue withers, carbonizes, and finally dissipates in the wind...

Even A-level mutated species were covered in wounds and lost eight or nine tenths of their combat power after passing through the Thunder Realm, and were easily killed by their own people.

The Thunder Realm ravaged the beast tide for several minutes, and Yan Zimo reaped the lives of over ten thousand mutated species in one fell swoop.

The saying "one against a thousand" illustrates this principle.

Her firepower alone is comparable to, or even stronger than, that of an armored division, and is more efficient and terrifying.

Old Wang sighed, "If there weren't any equals to restrain her, wouldn't she be able to do it all by herself...?"

Logically speaking, an eighth-tier warrior would be exhausted by now if he were to unleash his domain at full power for as long as Yan Zimo. However, everyone knows that Yan Zimo can keep fighting like a perpetual motion machine. This shows how important Yan Zimo is to large-scale battlefields.
