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

"Good heavens, it's really true. It didn't run away after sensing my presence; it even started monitoring me."

Yan Ziming looked at the giant spider with a sense of disgust; perhaps being called a spider was a bit inappropriate.

Because its limbs are made of hard shells, its sharp forelegs can easily pierce through 100mm thick steel plates, and its mouthparts are ferocious, covered with fine barbs, making it extremely terrifying.

Looking at this giant spider, its size is undoubtedly extremely robust, belonging to the A-level category.

But Yan Ziming felt that if this guy were to fight an A-level mutated species face to face, it would be the one to lose 100%. Perhaps even some B-level mutated species could defeat this guy.

Its size is a considerable threat to humans, but it is too fragile for a mutant species of the same size, but much larger and heavier.

"So, insects are just insects after all? Although they look a lot like the Reaper, they are not the same species at all... Their strength is far inferior."

Yan Zimo's final judgment.

Even though the giant spider was pinned to the ground by the Spear of Victory, it still bared its teeth and claws at Yan Zimo, waving its six pairs of hairy legs. Yan Zimo found it disgusting and simply removed all six legs from it.

"It might have research value. Let the search and rescue team take it back with them later."

"Big sister, we didn't find anything."

Ye Qianxue returned after searching the area she had just left. When she saw the giant spider pinned to the ground by Yan Ziming, she shuddered.

"Eek—a giant parasite! Why are there bugs again?! It's disgusting!"

Ye Qianxue subconsciously moved away; this thing disgusted her greatly.

She had encountered monsters far more terrifying and ferocious than this insect, but an insect is an insect, and she couldn't accept it until she got used to it.

Yan Ziming patted her hair. "I think the culprit who caused the plane crash and tried to cover up the crime has been found."

"Huh? You found it?" Ye Qianxue looked up in surprise. "As expected of my elder sister! There's really nothing that can stump her~"

After that came a lot of talk about how amazing my older sister is, Ye Qianxue finally asked, "Who is the murderer? Which country is he from? Should I send a nuclear bomb to their capital?"

A cold glint flashed in Ye Qianxue's eyes.

"The instigator may not necessarily be human..." Yan Ziming said leisurely with a profound air.

"Could it be someone from Odyssey?" Ye Qianxue's face darkened.

"Oh, you idiot, if it were them, would I need to go through all that trouble?"

Yan Ziming pinched Ye Qianxue's cheek with exasperation, rubbed it, and pointed at the large hermit, saying, "These are them."

"they?"

Beep beep beep, beep beep beep

Suddenly, Yan Ziming's terminal rang; it was a message from Huang Tao.

"Your guess is probably true. After Mu Mu went deep into the sewers to explore, guess what he found?"

"A nest?" Yan Ziming guessed the answer immediately.

"Yes, after we used instruments to investigate, we found that one-fifth of the underground area of ​​the Jiangning Military Administrative District had been hollowed out, and the structure looked like an ant nest."

Huang Tao said angrily, "Those are the foundation of the Jiangning Military Administrative Region. They have hollowed it out. Even if we recover it in the future, there will be potential dangers."

"Is this what you mean by a bad feeling?" Yan Ziming asked, his expression equally grim.

But why didn't Ye Qianxue notice it?

After asking Ye Qianxue, she tilted her head and replied with a hint of doubt, "Because you can easily crush them with a flick of your wrist?"

"..."

So dragons really don't care how many ants there are?

Judging from the fact that the large spider was monitoring Yan Zimo and the structure of their nest, this is a highly organized species, like ants and bees, with someone behind them directing the whole operation.

Moreover, this guy who was in charge of the whole situation had a high level of intelligence; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to do something like destroying a body to cover up the crime.

"The key question now is: where are the leaders of China... have they passed away? Or did they escape?"

This is a county town, so there are still many places to hide. The Chinese leaders may not be finished.

But after seeing the thunderstorm clouds they created, shouldn't they at least step forward and seek help?

Yan Ziming called out, "Has the search and rescue team arrived yet?"

"Ten more minutes."

"Too slow!" Yan Ziming waved his hand in frustration and handed Ye Qianxue a task: "Qianxue, go back immediately and get a topographic mapping instrument."

"Ah."

Ye Qianxue moved like the wind, and in less than two minutes, she had moved the entire instrument over. After the engineering department provided video guidance on how to use it, the surveying instrument began to operate.

As Yan Ziming watched the pattern gradually emerge on the image, he discovered an underground passage with a group of moving points of light beneath it.

"Qianxue!"

"okay!"

Ye Qianxue immediately took Yan Zimo and vanished into the void. When they reappeared, they were already underground.

Ping——

With a snap of his fingers, the space froze, and the swarm of insects were firmly fixed in place.

Yan Ziming's icy voice echoed in the confined space: "A bunch of dead crickets, daring to make us go to such lengths. How should I let you die to make me feel most at ease?"

19. Victory was hard-won.

A bolt of lightning caused the hundred-meter-tall skyscraper to crumble and disintegrate. The exploding sparks flew through the air like dancing fairies, as if entering another world where everything was purified.

The lightning strike was particularly deadly to living targets; almost all the moths hiding inside the building were reduced to ashes, their entire population wiped out.

Even if there are more, it's just another lightning strike.

"That was hasty; we should have kept it first."

Only after the building completely collapsed did Yan Ziming react, waving his hand in frustration.

Yan Ziming deduced that there was likely a mother insect in that building, specifically responsible for breeding moths, and that building had become her nest for breeding moths.

If only I could have stopped a bit earlier and caught the mother insect first!

Unfortunately, the situation was urgent, and Yan Ziming didn't have time to think about all that; he was only focused on solving the moth problem first.

"Treat the wounded! Those who can still fight, return to your posts!"

Yan Ziming took command, and her appearance turned the tide of the all-out defeat. Thunder and flames blocked the insect beasts' advance, killing some and injuring others.

However, the problem of the powder cloud composed of countless scales has not been resolved and continues to cause irreparable disaster to our personnel.

"Gather!"

The air, scattered by the artillery fire, suddenly changed direction and converged at a single point. Several tornadoes, connecting the sky, suddenly appeared, drawing in the scales and dust from the air, and the pinkish sky returned to normal.

Huang Tao came from the wind, and looking at the soldiers whose bodies were corroded by the scale powder and who were blinded and carried away, his face was extremely ugly.

I never expected this, I really never expected it!

These insects actually had such powerful tricks up their sleeves!

When they entered the city and recaptured the East District, everything went smoothly, but that was just an illusion given to them by the insect beasts!

In the previous battles, they only showed the tip of the iceberg.

Even the sudden attack on the West District was just a feint.

If this recapture operation is led by only one or two ninth-level commanders, they will definitely pay an unbearable price, and the operation will fail miserably in the very first battle.

He manipulated the airflow to lift the wounded one by one and quickly transport them to the treatment site, removing the rubble and debris that were pressing on the soldiers, and taking care of everyone on the scene.

"Zi Mo".

Huang Tao looked at Yan Ziming, who nodded and first set his sights on the giant insect beast that was over thirty meters tall.

call out--

Yan Ziming arrived in front of it in an instant and raised his hand to press it down.

"hold head high......!!!"

The giant insectoid beast let out a painful roar, its body surging with ripples of lightning that spread across its entire body.

It appears gentle and peaceful, but wherever the ripples pass, its thick, troublesome shell melts rapidly into an unidentified pool of liquid, just like ice meeting fire.

As it turns out, it couldn't even make a ripple in front of Yan Zimo.

A few seconds later, the guy completely lost the ability to move and lay helplessly on the ground.

Yan Zimo removed its sturdy four legs and ferocious mouthparts. It was to be transported back as an experimental specimen, and its final fate was to be dismembered into countless pieces.

"Someone, take this guy back!"

After giving the order, Yan Ziming looked at the surging insect beasts that were still attacking the defensive line. He estimated that there must be at least 200,000 of them, and his killing intent soared.

"Humph!"

Her anger is the anger of Heaven.

Heaven sensed her wrath, and the wind and clouds changed drastically. The visible dark clouds dimmed considerably, becoming so thin that sunlight could penetrate them.
