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

9. They moved their old base back to their own.

"Mu Mu, how was the battle...?"

When Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue returned to the camp and saw what Mu Mu had brought back, they both instinctively opened their mouths in astonishment.

Mu Mu was holding a silver-blue cube in one hand. At first glance, it didn't seem to have any special features; it was just a condensed form of the Milky Way.

"Don't let them escape, be prepared!"

Mu Mu casually said something and then threw the cube out. It landed on the ground, revealing a huge 'honeycomb'.

This 'beehive' was about the size of a football field, and it immediately filled Yan Ziming's entire field of vision.

"Squeak squeak squeak—s ... squeak squeak squeak"

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz—"

Countless sharp chirps and the sounds of legs moving filled my ears, like an army, a dense cacophony of sounds that sent chills down my spine.

"You...you...you...you've moved their entire base here?"

Yan Ziming pointed at the giant 'honeycomb' and raised her hand to destroy it completely. A crimson beam of light was flung out by her, and the air was instantly ignited, sparks flying.

One can imagine that if hit, this entire 'hive' would instantly turn into a molten inferno.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait! No, I finally managed to bring it back!"

The galactic realm blocked the path of the radiant mortal world, engulfing it. The galactic realm itself turned red, but after a while, it returned to its original state.

Mu Mu wiped her sweat and scolded, "Really, don't just ruin other people's hard work like that!"

"You still dare to talk! If these guys get out, the consequences will be severe!" Yan Ziming remained in a fighting stance, ready to annihilate any insect that crossed the line.

Ye Qianxue looked like she'd seen a ghost, and was even prepared to place a spatial singularity inside the nest to destroy it.

"Master Sister, why did you bring this kind of thing back! It's disgusting!"

"Oh, I only felt safe throwing it out because you guys were here."

With a broad smile, Mu Mu embraced the trembling Ye Qianxue, drew a circle in his palm, and created a protective barrier around the entire nest.

"Why did you suddenly bring so many insects back?" Yan Ziming said with dissatisfaction, and his body shuddered as he listened to the chirping of insects echoing in the nest.

The size of a football field is roughly 100 meters long, 70 meters wide, and over 30 meters high. It looks big at first glance, but from a macro perspective, it's not that impressive.

But Yan Ziming probably put no less than several thousand insects inside, and they were at least a meter tall!

Although she could easily wipe them out, for ordinary people, it would take a huge loss of lives to eliminate thousands of insects several meters in size rushing into their formation.

"You guys really know how to cause trouble."

Upon receiving the news, Huang Tao rushed over immediately, helplessly spreading his hands as he looked at the nest, which was the size of a football field, and felt a bit of a headache.

What should we do with this thing?

Mu Mu patted the clod of earth above her hard. "This is a piece I carved out from deep inside their stronghold!"

"You want us to observe their habits? Too bad, we don't have that..."

"There is a mother insect inside, and countless eggs."

"Okay, let's open the box now. Remember not to kill the mother insect, and try to preserve as many eggs as possible."

Huang Tao's sudden change of words seemed somewhat comical, but he didn't care, because Mu Mu had brought a great gift.

Even if all the thousands of insectoid beasts were wiped out, they could still be used for research.

Insect eggs are far more valuable, and they can't be obtained without going deep into the nest, but going deep into the underground nest is not something that ordinary people can do.

Of course, the most important thing is still the mother insect.

This thing will directly elevate China's research on these insectoid beasts to a new level, with so many possibilities for its application.

Yan Ziming touched Mu Mu's hand speechlessly and said, "You've practically stormed into their base... Did you encounter any powerful beings?"

What kind of courage does it take to break into the enemy's underground headquarters all by yourself?

Only those at the ninth rank would dare to do this; even those at the eighth rank wouldn't be able to. If they couldn't find a way out for too long, they would be overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

"It's nothing. None of them are particularly powerful. The strongest one is just a large beetle with S-class strength... I should remind you."

Mu Mu suddenly became a little serious: "After they reach S-level, they will undergo a qualitative change. That giant beetle is no weaker than any other S-level mutated species of the same level."

"However, those inferior 'skeletons' will definitely not be able to reach S-class; large size and heavy weight are the mainstream."

The 'skeleton' she was referring to was naturally the lowest-level spider-like insects, which would only be dismantled into parts if they were to encounter mutated species of the same level.

"That S-class beetle has six legs, each several meters thick, and it weighs about a hundred tons. You can think of it as a super-giant tank with long-range attack capabilities."

Mu Mu gave a brief description, and Yan Ziming and the others could only marvel.

As expected, those who reach S-rank are no ordinary people; they will make a great leap forward.

"Oh, right, after I intercepted this queen insect, the swarm there seemed to be enraged. They're probably going to come and attack."

"That's perfect, let's kill them all."

Yan Ziming clenched his fist fiercely, and the sky seemed to darken slightly.

"Wait, let's try not to get involved in this battle and let our soldiers get used to it beforehand."

Huang Tao made this suggestion.

After all, I'll definitely be dealing with these insects many times in the future, so I can't afford not to familiarize myself with them beforehand.

"Don't think this is just a minor skirmish," Mu Mu reminded him.

"The small section of the nest that I cut off is only a small part of the whole nest. I estimate that there are a lot of them, and there is more than one mother insect."

"I estimate that their total number is no less than... a million, right? Don't forget, we don't have city walls to protect us."

"That's nothing. Watch me crush them all. I made that boast to them."

Yan Ziming crossed his arms and gazed into the distance, as if he could see Jiangning's movements directly from there.

Since he was to be their enemy, Yan Ziming would crush them without mercy.

Before long, the reconnaissance team that had gone to Jiangning returned by helicopter. After all, Jiangning was in complete chaos, and for them to stay there would only be suicide.

"How's the situation?" Huang Tao asked, catching up with someone who had just returned.

"They've gone mad! They've all gone mad! So many insects suddenly appeared from the south district, like waves! Every building is a shadow of them!"

The man said with some fear. Even after fighting against mutated species for so many years, he couldn't help but feel terrified when he saw a swarm of insects of that size.

Those who witnessed this scene firsthand will likely develop trypophobia after this battle.

10. Invite the enemy into the urn

"Alright, let's hurry up and open this nest first. We'll handle the battle, so Senior Huang Tao, you can rest assured. There are five ninth-tier beings here."

Yan Ziming patted her chest confidently, saying that they were just a bunch of insects and she could easily defeat them all by herself.

If something truly goes wrong, the combined efforts of five ninth-level beings would be enough to turn this place upside down.

Huang Tao nodded in satisfaction. He had never felt so confident when leading troops in battle before. The exhilaration he felt was indescribable!

"We need to cut it now. Mu Mu, do you remember the location of the mother worm and the eggs?"

"The mother insect is located below that small hill, and there are eggs everywhere. I brought over someone else's breeding facility."

Mu Mu pointed out a few places to Huang Tao, who immediately rolled up his sleeves. A storm of air swirled around him, and the air emitted an incredibly violent, cutting sound, like the wailing of ghosts at midnight, brewing in his hands.

With a flick of a finger.

The air vortex in the field of vision rapidly expanded, like a rolled-up blade, rolling forward and cutting away a vacuum area from the air. At the same time, a corner of the nest was cut off and smashed to pieces.

Hundreds of enormous insects fell from the shattered earth and rocks, and they seemed to be still in shock, standing there stunned for a few moments.

wow-

The next second, they were cut into hundreds or thousands of pieces by countless wind blades, dying tragically without any chance to resist.

These are all the lowest-level insects, and Huang Tao doesn't care about them at all. He only selectively keeps those that have research value.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen wind blades slashed through the nest in front of them, reducing it piece by piece like a cheesecake, until only one-tenth of its original size remained.

The ground was littered with countless remains of insects and beasts, and splattered with multicolored blood, a sight that made one feel nauseous.

Finally, Huang Tao locked onto his target, clasped his hands together, and the fierce wind blades transformed into an irresistible whirlwind vortex. Gusts of wind rushed straight into the well-connected, interconnected nest, pulling out everything inside one by one.

The first to be pulled out were insect eggs the size of a human head, along with some unusual-looking insects. All their legs were broken off, and they were thrown aside before being collected by the logistics personnel who had been summoned.

The soldiers who had gathered around were all stunned.

Thousands of insects and beasts were shredded by Huang Tao without even putting up a single offensive, as if he were casually stepping on thousands of ants while raiding an anthill.

Is this the divine power of a ninth-tier expert?

Horror!

Finally, Huang Tao clapped his hands, and the nest shattered completely, revealing a 'giant' inside.

"Ugh... Waaah, Chiyuki, go outside and throw up."

Ye Qianxue's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. She disappeared in a flash and went to the grass not far away, where she was spewing profanities.
