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

【What to do, what to do, what to do?!】

The opponent's terrifying aura surged over like a tidal wave, and Yan Ziming suddenly felt the pressure increase exponentially. He bent over, his almond-shaped eyes wide open, struggling immensely.

The other party was able to influence spacetime. Although it was done with an absolute "quantity," and even the aurora itself might not know how to control it, Yan Ziming felt immense pressure for no reason.

Hmph! My quantity is no less than yours!

"Useless Xi!"

From within Yan Ziming's body, a mixture of blue and purple light gradually shone forth, and his eyes shot out two torch-like beams of light. His entire being transformed into a ball of light and shadow, as if transcending the long river of time, untouched by any magic.

Rumbling--

The earth trembled, turning the surface upside down, and endless lightning surged into the sky, engulfing everything.

Seemingly triggered by the movement on the ground, a large cumulus cloud of lightning appeared in the empty sky. A will that could control life and death descended, blurring all concepts, and connected with the ground. The lightning instantly grew several times larger!

This was a battle of mutual erosion. There were no earth-shattering explosions, only a destructive storm of several wills mixed together, turning this place into a place of turbulent winds and clouds, changing the direction of air currents, and making it the center of the entire Tibet Province, and even the whole of China.

73. Equator

"Wow...we've gotten into a tug-of-war. How long is this going to go on?"

Yan Ziming and Aurora were locked in a fierce battle. Si Mo, who was watching from outside, felt that this battle was unlikely to end anytime soon.

If something unexpected happens, it will take a month or two. If nothing unexpected happens and things continue smoothly, it will take at least a year.

But that's alright, Si Mo has no shortage of patience. It's common for people like them, who stand at the very top of the world, to stay in one place for months or even years, so they're used to it.

The initial fierce exchange of fire between the two sides has turned into mutual erosion, essentially returning to the initial process, only the situation is very different now.

When Simo first came here, the aurora was in the lead, but now it's even, a 50/50 split.

That's what they say, but in Si Mo's opinion, Yan Zi Mo's side still has the advantage. In fact, the outcome was predetermined from the start.

As you can see, the branches of the aurora have already spread out and taken root far beyond the center of the battlefield. Strange energy fields are converging on these branches and then flowing into it.

This is nuclear radiation. The entire Tibetan Plateau is its backing. Ziwei Star can only be considered a latecomer, and its foundation is much weaker than that of the aurora.

However, this is only a temporary delay for the aurora. What will happen when this potential is exhausted?

"Aurora... What a tragic generation of powerful beings."

Si Mo thought she had probably guessed the cause and effect of the Purple Star and the Aurora.

[Originating beneath a nuclear power plant in its early years, it was injured after being hit by a nuclear bomb, but unexpectedly found a path to become stronger, and began to lie low to recuperate...]

"What a pity, plans can't keep up with changes... We ran into that thing." Si Mo's gaze was fixed on the purple 'sun'.

Even now, she still doesn't understand what this Ziwei Star is.

However, she could also sense that this couldn't be a product of natural occurrence; there must be some deeper reason...

...........

"Xian'er, how is my elder sister?"

Ye Qianxue, who had been waiting on the outskirts of Tibet Province, was stunned when she saw Liu Mengxian retreat. Could it be that even this powerful figure could not break into Tibet Province?

"Mo'er is alright."

Liu Mengxian gently soothed Ye Qianxue's emotions and briefly explained the situation at the time.

In fact, Liu Mengxian already had some idea about the existence of the Purple Star, and if what happened next confirmed her thoughts...

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Yanshan said he'd like to invite you over if it's alright..."

Ye Qianxue recalled the phone call Yan Shan had made earlier, which was nothing more than asking about the situation in Tibet and whether she and Yan Ziming were facing any difficulties.

After Qianxue told him where Liu Mengxian had gone that night, she expressed her desire to meet with Liu Mengxian.

Moreover, judging from his tone, even if Liu Mengxian didn't go, he would still go to find her himself.

"Him? Okay, take me there now."

"......"

"You'd better not go there now, it will affect her." Liu Mengxian gently pinched Ye Qianxue, who was still preoccupied. She had already seen through Ye Qianxue's thoughts.

Tibet has now become a hotbed of conflict. The major tiers have been busy all day, involving hundreds of millions of beasts. The tense atmosphere at the time was just short of a life-or-death battle.

With such a large-scale riot, it's impossible that everything will calm down just because Liu Mengxian left, right?

That is impossible.

Just as a mega-earthquake is followed by many aftershocks, the impact of this turmoil on Tibet and even China will last for quite some time.

"How long will it take before I can see my elder sister?" Ye Qianxue asked Liu Mengxian pitifully.

"...I can't say for sure, it may take a long time."

"How long exactly?"

"It takes longer than me going out once."

Oh, does this mean we can list my older sister as a missing person?

Ye Qianxue felt as if her soul had been drained, and it was as if a tiny soul figure could be seen emerging from her mouth and drifting towards the distant horizon.

However, Liu Mengxian still managed to catch this wisp of soul and put it back in.

Liu Mengxian flicked Ye Qianxue's forehead lightly with her finger and said with a slightly serious tone, "Don't fall behind while she's away."

Ye Qianxue nodded listlessly. Liu Mengxian smiled, her usual smile softening, and said, "Don't worry, your mother is there watching over you. Everything will be fine. Take me there."

"Um......"

Sichuan Military Administrative Region.

This heavy industrial base of China has been placed on high alert due to the recent riots in Tibet, with even nuclear missiles mounted on launch pads, ready to launch a devastating attack at any moment.

Having learned from the previous lesson, the Chinese military will never suffer the same loss again.

They had long ago set up surveillance checkpoints at the border crossings in Tibet to monitor the situation within the province at all times.

If it is detected that they intend to move eastward again, nuclear missiles will be launched directly into Tibet Province. The mountains along the way can effectively block them, and they will be wiped out with map-wide attacks before they are fully deployed.

In addition, Huang Tao was also urgently transferred here, ready for the arrival of war at any time.

Inside the headquarters.

Huang Tao was discussing the overall military plan with Yan Shan when, at a certain moment, Yan Shan's voice suddenly stopped, and Huang Tao looked in the same direction a few seconds later.

There, a spatial rift was silently torn open, and Ye Qianxue stepped out with Liu Mengxian.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Yan Shan stood up to greet him with a hearty gesture, then his expression suddenly changed to one of extreme seriousness. "Could you tell me more about the situation in Tibet?"

Just now, when Liu Mengxian went to Tibet, Yan Shan, far away in Sichuan, had a feeling of dread, a premonition that disaster was imminent.

Even someone as powerful as him could sense the winds blowing in western Tibet; things were in utter chaos.

He believed that this would destroy the entire Sichuan military and administrative region!

Fortunately, Yan Shan sensed that the wind direction had changed again, and the oppressive feeling of "a storm is brewing" was gone, but he still couldn't relax.

Huang Tao glanced at the now completely closed spatial rift, knowing that no one else would come, and asked, "Where is Yan Ziming?"

"My elder sister is currently unable to leave for Tibet Province..."

"Still there?" Yan Shan frowned. In the current Tibet Province, even he had to be extremely careful when he went there. Yan Zimo was still there, which was no different from courting death.

Ye Qianxue repeated what Liu Mengxian had just told her, and Yan Shan and Huang Tao's expressions became increasingly tense.

It's good that Yan Ziming is alright, but the situation there has left two top figures in the Chinese military with worried expressions.

Oh shit! What the fu.ck? !

If it weren't for Liu Mengxian's probing, heaven would have known that there were so many bizarre sequence-level beings on Chinese soil!

This is unbelievable! The Tibetan province alone has housed three Sequence-level creatures: Aurora, Sky Dome, and Skeleton Hunter. Is this a sign that the heavens are going to destroy China?

Fortunately, there is still Liu Mengxian to keep them in check, otherwise they really would have overwhelmed China!

However, they were still very worried because, according to Liu Mengxian's account, they showed incredible unity and were openly raising the banner of rebellion.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I'd like to show you, which is something this charlatan asked me to ask."

Yan Shan took out a stack of photos, all of which depicted scenes of ice and snow, with white snow covering everything. Ye Qianxue, who had been to the Arctic ice field once, knew that this place was either the Antarctic or the Arctic.

"This is intelligence that Mu Mu just sent back from the equator in Africa. Please feel free to speak your mind if you have any opinions."

74. Entrustment

Africa? The equator?

Ye Qianxue blinked her eyes, her big eyes filled with a blank expression.

She felt that her nine years of compulsory education had been a great disgrace.

Oh no, because of the apocalypse, Ye Qianxue, who only received seven or eight years of compulsory education but had some knowledge of geography, couldn't help but wonder if the geography teacher had taught her fake geography knowledge.

The area near the equator... isn't it often jokingly referred to by the Chinese people as 'hell on earth'?
