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

However, this is not a scene of dawn breaking, but the eve of destruction!

A huge blue-purple ripple suddenly emanated from the center of the thundercloud, spreading across the entire sky. Then, the dark cloud plummeted to the ground like a jellyfish in the sea.

"Disperse."

Yan Ziming hovered in the air and pointed in front of him. The 'jellyfish' was lightly touched in the middle and shattered into thousands of raindrops, completely obscuring the area within sight.

The dense thunderstorm ignited instantly upon landing, radiating its terrifying internal heat in a fraction of a second.

Boom boom boom boom boom or boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom or boom boom boom boom boom boom

The insectoid beasts, whose bodies were relatively weak compared to mutated species, were instantly shattered by the thunderstorm imbued with terrifying electric currents by Yan Ziming. Just like a human being hit by a 30mm cannon, their bodies were torn to pieces, leaving behind a sea of ​​fire and flashes of lightning.

The earth trembled, and life withered away.

The violent tremors reverberated throughout the Jiangning Military Administrative District, causing rubble to fall and raising dust throughout the city.

Nearly 100,000 insects and beasts perished in this thunderstorm.

If it weren't for the terrain providing them with some advantage, given their density at the time, the losses would have been tens of thousands more if they had been on open ground.

This completely stunned the group of insects and beasts. Before they could react, a large area in front of them was suddenly empty. It all happened so unexpectedly.

Suddenly, as if receiving some kind of command, they turned around and fled at the same time, trying to hide in the sewers and buildings again, continuing to use hide-and-seek tactics to inflict as much damage as possible on the army.

But Yan Ziming will not give them that chance anymore.

"I am Yan Zimo. Initiate an artillery barrage on the northern district immediately."

Their fierce attack shows that the main force of the insect beasts is basically in the North District. There are several insect beast species that Yan Ziming has never seen before, which are not seen in the East and West Districts.

In that case, there's really no need to worry about the building structure. Since the main force is here, we'll just have to demolish all the buildings and wipe them out!

Before long, several fighter jet formations roared in from afar, carrying out precision strikes on some large buildings, and then dropping super bombs on a certain block, razing several blocks in the vicinity to the ground. Then, artillery units from the rear unleashed their firepower, plowing the area up again.

In addition, Yan Zimo also went all out, wreaking havoc in another place, leaving no trace of ruins, and annihilating insects and beasts along with them.

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

As evening falls, the sun is about to set.

At this moment, the roar of artillery fire abruptly ceased, and the northern district returned to tranquility. Only sporadic gunshots and explosions could be heard from the western district, signifying the city's lurking dangers.

After half a day of relentless bombardment, the northern district was almost completely flattened. The insect beasts had nowhere to hide and were killed one by one by Yan Ziming and the superhumans.

Yan Ziming hasn't dealt with the insects and beasts hiding in the sewers yet, but it's only a matter of time.

Time passed quietly, and for some time afterward, the army continued to sweep through the city, capturing all those who had escaped.

Finally, after half a month, and for three consecutive days no insect beasts had been found in the city, people cheered and danced on the spot.

However, looking at the big picture, those at the top couldn't be as happy as they were.

Even with the support of five ninth-tier warriors, the battle still lasted for half a month, a full half month!

8. The future is uncertain.

This swarm of insects numbered about a hundred, carrying several 'packages' bound with white silk threads, from which humanoid silhouettes could be vaguely seen.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qianxue pointed to the objects wrapped in lines and exclaimed, "Ah! Could those be—?!"

"I'm increasingly convinced that their controller is a highly intelligent individual."

Yan Ziming stepped forward, while the surrounding swarm of insects, immobilized by Ye Qianxue, could only watch helplessly as she walked to the side of several 'mummies'.

sizzle-

Tearing open the white silk thread revealed a person inside who was unable to move, but Yan Ziming did not recognize this person.

With a flick of her finger, Ye Qianxue severed the white threads on the other two 'mummies,' revealing the people inside, including Yan Ziming and the others' most important rescue target, though they were both unconscious.

Yan Ziming quickly stepped forward to check their vital signs and found that everything was normal, which finally put their minds at ease.

"Phew... that was a close call. These damn bugs are so arrogant, we have to take them seriously."

"Humph!"

Ye Qianxue snorted coldly. These damned insects had made them so nervous! Anger got the better of her, so she slowly increased the force, and the bodies of the insect beasts made cracking sounds.

"Wait, don't kill them yet. Take them all back as live samples."

Yan Ziming waved to stop her, and Ye Qianxue loosened her grip, but she showed no mercy, raising her other hand and flicking it lightly.

puff-

These insects, with their varied shapes and disgusting appearances, suddenly detached all their legs from their bodies, spraying out disgusting, multicolored liquids, and a foul stench filled the air.

Yan Ziming squatted down in front of one of the insects, staring directly into its six pairs of dark eyes, as if he were looking into something from afar.

After gazing at her for a while, she spoke slowly, her calm and even voice like a sigh from ancient times: "I know you can hear me, and you can see me."

"Although we don't know if you're human or some other weird thing, your actions are tantamount to declaring war on us."

"Just grit your teeth and bear it."

"We will crush our enemies without mercy. Even if you hide at the ends of the earth, we will find you."

"We'll see."

After saying that, Yan Ziming turned around and returned to Ye Qianxue's side, waving his hand. Ye Qianxue understood and clenched her right hand again.

The invisible spatial blades rendered the insects visually impaired, resulting in another spectacular burst of juice that thoroughly soaked the stone wall.

Afterwards, Ye Qianxue 'shivered' and clung to Yan Ziming, claiming that she was frightened by the group of insects, burying her head in front of Yan Ziming's towering peaks and refusing to come out.

After a while, Ye Qianxue, who had gained the 'Sister Energy', raised her head and asked, "Big Sister, how did you know it could hear you?"

"I was just guessing, but I was mostly right, because otherwise it wouldn't be able to give orders to these low-level insects."

Yan Ziming glanced at the disgusting insects that had lost their legs and feet, and immediately felt that he would lose his appetite for the next few days.

These low-level insects aren't intelligent enough to spare the Chinese leader's life; normally they would dismember him.

On the contrary, they even packed up the survivors and took them away, and knew how to destroy the evidence. There must be someone behind the scenes giving the orders.

"Alright, let's send them back."

After a few quick moves, Ye Qianxue transported the people and the group of insects out to the ground.

As soon as he came out, Huang Tao, who was in a hurry because he couldn't receive a signal while underground, immediately sent a communication: "Hey, Zi Mo, can you hear me?"

"Received. The target has been rescued and is in good condition."

"Ha..." Huang Tao also breathed a long sigh of relief. Thank goodness... it didn't turn out to be the worst possible outcome.

If the Chinese leader were to die as a result, then whatever the reason, the country would be unable to continue its development.

Huang Tao said seriously, "Send them back to Bei'an immediately and find Luo Li for treatment."

As soon as Yan Ziming looked at Ye Qianxue, she took the initiative to bring her back.

"Also, I have quite a few live insect samples here. Have the people who came collect them. I've sent you the locations."

"it is good."

The rescue operation has come to an end.

The lurking shadows did indeed put the entire country on edge for a while, almost escalating to an uncontrollable point, but thankfully it weathered the storm.

"Have you sent out all the relevant intelligence?" Huang Tao asked Li Hao, who was projected using holographic projection technology.

"The message has been sent; we're just waiting for their reply."

The relevant information has been conveyed to the community of shared future for mankind, requesting them to thoroughly investigate whether the nuclear waste buried underground in earlier years still exists.

If they're not there, it just means the swarm of insects is too large and must be eradicated as soon as possible!

As Li Hao flipped through the documents sent to him, his brows furrowed. "I never expected this. Where did these bugs come from?"

"Who knows, but it's probably related to nuclear waste."

"Impossible! We've done related experiments before. Even with the effects of nuclear radiation, it's impossible to turn insects into this shape, let alone such a large-scale, organized swarm... This is practically an 'army'."

Huang Tao recalled the first few years after the apocalypse. In order to prevent the most numerous creatures in the world—insects—from becoming mutated species, China took the lead in developing them for a period of time. However, they found that this would not happen because, from the perspective of life level, they were still too low.

However, current findings have overturned this conclusion.

"Perhaps the power of the 'nuclear' is only one aspect; there may be something else mixed in. Zi Mo has collected some live specimens; you should study them carefully when you get back."

Huang Tao pondered for a moment, then angrily slammed his fist on the table: "These guys are really good at hiding things. If we weren't going to retake Jiangning, we might have been kept in the dark for a long time!"

"Yes, the insects reproduce at an explosive rate. If they had been discovered a few years later, they would probably have been out of control."

“I’m worried that they might be able to sneak into a special plane from a heavily guarded military airport, or even dig tunnels. I even suspect that they’ve already built their nest right under our feet. Haoyi, you guys need to be on guard.”

"They're courting death!"

Li Hao's eyes widened in anger. "I'll use all available resources right now to thoroughly survey the entire area within a 300-mile radius of the Beian Military Administrative Region."

"Convene a meeting immediately, with all officers of general rank and above in attendance. We will also hold an internal meeting."

"it is good."

The state apparatus began to operate, and no one expected that a perfectly normal operation to retake the country would unleash such a bombshell, plunging future life into turmoil once again.
