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

Several graceful figures emerged from different rooms one after another, their sleepy-eyed appearances making Yan Ziming's brows twitch.

"Qianxue! Put your clothes on! Mumu, stop sleeping! Xiaoze, transform! Moxin... sit still."

After giving a slight reprimand to the group, Yan Ziming lightly tapped the table and began to get down to business: "We're about to set off."

Thinking it was something big, Ye Qianxue slumped on the table and said weakly, "Hey... so what if we're going to war? You can handle it all by yourself, big sister."

“This isn’t just about me, and I won’t be letting you guys be my deputies anymore.”

In the previous recapture campaign, although there were five ninth-tier warriors in charge, their combat power was far too much and they couldn't be of much use. Ye Qianxue had complained to her about this many times.

"Oh? How so? Tell me." Mu Mu gave her a charming and alluring look.

Yan Ziming glanced around the room, realizing they weren't taking the matter seriously, and then said solemnly:

"Let me briefly state that the operation's code name is 'Ten East Winds.' Within a month, we will join forces with Russia and mobilize the full strength of both countries—and I mean 'full'—to eradicate all the insectoid beast nests within our own borders!"

Upon hearing this, the group immediately perked up.

If what she says is true, then the scale of this operation is unprecedented.

Seeing that they immediately became interested, Yan Ziming added with a hum:

"Most of the ninth-tier beings in China will be involved in this war; it's like they've truly mobilized their entire force. The same goes for all the superhumans in the country, regardless of whether they are government officials or not... Ozawa-kun, is there anything you don't understand?"

Xiao Ze raised his hand, and after being called upon by Yan Ziming, he stood up and asked, "Since you've made this decision, have you found a way to deal with the insect beasts' 'hide-and-seek' tactics?"

"Yes." Yan Ziming nodded.

"Whoa—Chiyuki's going!"

"I'll participate too."

"Well... there's no reason to refuse."

"Then I'll reluctantly agree."

Having received a unanimous response, Yan Ziming couldn't help but feel a little excited.

This will be the largest proactive war launched by humanity since the apocalypse, and its main purpose is certainly not only to target insects and beasts, but also to wipe out mutated species.

"The initial strategy is to have one ninth-rank leader lead each team to launch a multi-front operation and destroy all the insect and beast nests in one fell swoop."

Multi-front warfare refers to launching campaigns simultaneously in multiple locations or on multiple fronts, requiring unimaginable manpower and resources. This is why Yan Ziming believed that this campaign was unprecedented.

This month is the preparation time for this battle.

After sharpening our swords for half a year and letting these insect beasts roam freely for half a year, the first shot of the battle is finally about to be fired.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the news programs are probably full of similar reports now. This is a nationwide mobilization. A storm is coming."

Yan Ziming rubbed his younger sister's head and said, "Qianxue, you'll be coming with me this time."

"But... when I'm with my older sister, how can I possibly have a chance to shine..." Ye Qianxue pouted and said.

"This is an order. Do you intend to disobey the Marshal's command?"

Yan Ziming was not at ease with Ye Qianxue.

The effects of the devastating blow her younger sister suffered a few months ago have not yet completely subsided. Ye Qianxue can only move around normally now; engaging in high-intensity combat would still be unwise.

So, to prevent any further accidents from happening to her, Yan Ziming decided to keep her by his side.

"Tch... Big sister, you should save some food for Chiyuki."

"Okay, okay, aren't you happy being with me?"

"I'm so happy!"

Ye Qianxue affectionately hugged her hand and rubbed against it.

Mo Xin shook her head and rolled around on the table, saying, "But even so, it will still take a month. It's a bit too early to get excited now."

Yan Ziming raised his index finger and shook it: "Hmph, a month will actually pass very quickly."

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

Murong Family Compound, Bei'an City

The place has been decorated in a solemn manner, simply because a supreme expert of the ninth rank sits here. Not to mention the circles of wealthy and powerful families, he can command the wind and rain and stand above millions of people throughout the country.

"Is this for me?"

Murong Haiyi, shirtless and practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, received the letter. Its contents were slightly different from Yan Ziming's; it simply invited him to assist in the battle.

After reading the contents of the letter, Murong Haiyi put on his clothes, and the white tiger tattoo on his back let out a silent roar. In an instant, the wind and clouds churned, and a noisy wind swept across the entire city of Bei'an.

kill!kill!kill!

54. Ten East Winds Sweep Across the Earth (Part 1)

As Yan Ziming said, a month really did pass very quickly.

In fact, less than a month had passed, or to be precise, twenty-three days, and China and Russia had already made all the necessary preparations.

In just over twenty days, China accelerated the production and deployment of all its weapons and equipment. Yan Ziming even drew a 'circle' around all the surrounding areas of China's cities, expressing his deep concern about city defenses.

In the barracks, troops from all military regions were listening to one person's command, whether in person or through an electronic screen, all awaiting that sacred moment.

Marshal Yan Ziming looked down at the troops fully equipped and ready to go, and felt a surge of pride. He shouted:

"I hereby declare that Operation 'Ten East Winds' has officially begun! We must ensure that these ten east winds blow throughout the entire land of China!"

"Guarantee the mission is completed!"

This was a unified shout from hundreds of thousands, even millions of people, a powerful and resounding moment when morale reached its peak.

As a result, many people in the Southern Guangdong Military Administrative Region, the Sichuan Military Administrative Region, and the Bei'an Military Administrative Region witnessed a scene they would never see again in their lives—countless helicopters took off from the three administrative regions at the same time, their density was terrifying, and armored vehicles drove out of the city walls one after another, with dust filling the sky and obscuring people's vision.

Never before had anyone witnessed such a grand scene. Some people who were interested in and had a deep understanding of military affairs were shocked to see this, wondering if China had mobilized all its military forces.

At the same time, some of the superhumans who could have been seen had disappeared. They were just a part of the millions of helicopters. Not a single ninth-level expert remained. All the real powerhouses had come out.

Looking at the map, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Hebei can be connected to form a triangle, and all the troops will advance into the interior of this triangle in a three-way encirclement.

The primary strategy is to first occupy the entire area inside the 'triangle'!

The teams from Nanyue were led by Huang Tao, Qin Tianhai, and Mu Mu; those from Sichuan were led by Mo Sheng, Mo Xin, and Murong Haiyi; those from Bei'an were led by Yan Ziming, Xiao Ze, Ye Qianxue, and Li Haoyi; and Xue Yunling went to support Russia.

"go ahead."

Yan Ziming waved his hand, and the steel army moved forward, carrying an overwhelming force that could crush anything, ready to spread the flames of war throughout the world.

Yan Ziming suddenly remembered a game from before, what was it again? It seemed to be...

I am the swarm, the army is reduced to ashes, the world burns beneath my feet.

However, the situation is now reversed; the attackers are humans, not insectoid beasts.

"Let's go." "Let's go."

The same order was issued in Guangdong and Sichuan. The army pressed forward, and its imposing momentum alone made some mutated species lose their desire to fly into the fire and turn tail and run away.

It was terrifying. They had never seen humans act like this before. The billowing yellow smoke from the tank units was like a dark, deep cloud that had eroded the clear sky.

—Unstoppable momentum.

If these worthless scum, who are at best cannon fodder, were to be caught in this wheel of fate, they would be utterly annihilated.

Before they could muster enough strength to fight against this army, their only option was to flee.

"Big sister, should we get rid of them?"

Yan Ziming calmly analyzed the situation and said, "No need. They're just a bunch of rabble. There's no need to waste shells on them."

This time, the requirements for logistical support during the Ten East Winds mission were extremely stringent, reaching a hellish level. Running out of ammunition and facing supply disruptions were possible, so resources could not be wasted.

Soon, Yan Ziming and her group advanced a hundred miles, where they encountered their first insect hive attack.

Biubiu

Hundreds of points of light lit up the sky, but they were not easily seen against the background color of the sky. They cut through the air, drawing an arc, and were about to plunge into the army.

"Little tricks."

Yan Ziming stared blankly at the points of light, a terrifying pressure emanating from her petite body, pressing forward like a net.

Before even reaching the front lines, hundreds of beams of light were crushed by this terrifying pressure!

"Lock the target and fire!"

Yan Ziming provided an outlet for these frustrated soldiers, who began shelling the locations from which the beams of light were emitted.

This insectoid beast, capable of emitting beams and possessing anti-air and long-range attack capabilities, is named the Silver Pump Bug by the military. It is classified as Rank A, which is considered very high among insectoid beasts, and its numbers are not numerous.

The beams emitted from their tails are particularly corrosive to metal; if a helicopter is hit, it will disintegrate and crash instantly.

However, if we survive the first wave of attacks and find out their location, everything will be much easier afterward.

Locking in and striking in one smooth motion, a simple beyond-visual-range attack is all it takes to inflict heavy damage on them – this is the experience gained by various regions over the past few months.

However, this time it is clearly not the case.

After a wave of beyond-visual-range attacks, Yan Ziming ordered a ceasefire, but the next second, hundreds of beams of light shot out from that direction.

Yan Ziming frowned slightly, blocking all the beams of light, and said to Ye Qianxue, "Take me there."
