I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Faced with his subordinates' questions, Andrei didn't know how to answer, but as the leader, he couldn't choose to run away. Just then, gunshots rang out from ahead, and his eyes lit up. Without saying a word, he rushed out!

"Charge! Take them down!"

Seeing that their leader had rushed out, the remaining two resistance fighters followed...

But when they arrived at the location where the gunfire had come from, they found that there was almost nowhere left to stand…

The ground was littered with countless corpses of rebel fighters!

Andrei and the others felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the scene before them.

Finally… their gaze fell upon the only figure still standing amidst the horde of corpses.

It was a woman…

A slender young woman with silver hair and blue eyes, but with an Asian face…

She was wearing a black special operations uniform, without any weapons or equipment on her.

She was carrying a struggling resistance fighter in each hand, and with her somewhat childlike and innocent face, it was impossible to connect this pure and sweet silver-haired girl with the corpses scattered on the ground...

The girl was silently watching Andrei and his companions arrive with eyes that seemed devoid of any emotion.

"No matter what you are! Let them go!"

Despite his legs feeling weak, Andrei forced himself to muster the courage to point his gun at the silver-haired girl.

The girl tilted her head, her lifeless eyes seemingly sizing up Andrei, then casually tossed two rebel soldiers dozens of meters into the air... they traced long arcs before falling to the ground some distance away...

Andrei watched helplessly as his comrade was smashed to pieces on the ground! A surge of grief and rage welled up within him! He immediately averted his gaze, ready to fire… but when he turned back, he found the girl already standing silently in front of him… only centimeters away…

"you…"

Andrei stared wide-eyed as if he'd seen a ghost, and before he could speak, he found himself speechless…

He looked down and saw a slender arm piercing through his chest and then emerging from behind him, the other end of which clutched a heart that was slowly ceasing to beat…

"monster…"

Andrei forced out those two words, then used all his strength to pull back the safety pin on the grenade at his waist…

"Andre!"

boom!

Amidst the shouts of his comrades, Andrei exploded into a fireball right before the girl's eyes!

Two trusted confidants stared blankly at the two figures engulfed in fireballs not far ahead, and knelt down in shock.

Even with the leader of the resistance dead, what should they do next? But soon they had no time to think about that.

After the flames subsided, the girl was still standing there unharmed, except that her black combat uniform had several large holes burned through it, revealing another white uniform underneath...

"Primary target... Andrei... has been killed..."

The girl stared blankly at Andrei's location, who had been blown to pieces, beyond repair. Then she turned and cast her icy gaze upon the remaining two, slowly walking towards them…

Chapter Twenty-Three Anna

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

The rifle spat fire, unleashing a barrage of bullets at the girl, but only producing a series of cracking sounds accompanied by flying sparks, as if the bullets were hitting alloy steel plates rather than a human being…

The girl's steps continued forward.

Another insurgent carried a rocket launcher out of the house, aimed it at the girl, and shouted, "Die, monster!"

Then pull the trigger…

boom!

The rocket, trailing a long plume of flame, hurtled towards the girl!

She raised her right hand... as if with a casual wave, and the warhead of the rocket, whose flight path was not even visible to the naked eye, was caught in her hand!

The two resistance fighters were completely incapable of thinking after witnessing this scene…

Because the girl threw the rocket back at an even faster speed...

Boom! Another deafening explosion, accompanied by a towering burst of flames, blew the last two resistance fighters to pieces...

"Mission...complete..."

The girl remained expressionless, then turned and walked in the opposite direction, seemingly preparing to leave.

But after taking only two steps, she stopped and looked back at a spot about 300 meters behind her, where there was only a low bungalow.

A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and her earlobe twitched slightly. She immediately bent her knees slightly... and the ground beneath her feet shattered instantly! She leaped dozens of meters into the air!

Boom!

As she landed, pebbles flew everywhere, and the girl was already standing in front of the low bungalow.

Pushing open the door, two figures were curled up in the dark corner by the bed: a woman and her child.

They clung tightly to each other, gazing pleadingly at the girl at the door, shaking their heads repeatedly…

"Please...no...no..."

The girl's expression remained unchanged. She slowly walked into the house and approached the woman. Her cold eyes seemed to regard not two living people, but some kind of junk...

Then she placed her right hand, fingers together in a chop shape, against her left chest, as if about to strike the two men...

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud bang, like a meteorite hitting the ground, came from outside the door.

The girl seemed to be drawn to the sound, and slowly turned around to look at the door...

Lei Ming stood up after landing, first frowning as he looked at the street littered with corpses... then shifting his gaze to the figure inside the house.

The two looked at each other...

"Encore..."

Although her hair and eye color were different from before, and she had grown much taller than he remembered... Lei Ming still recognized her at a glance!

“Anke…these people…”

Did you do all of this?

The thunderous sound didn't elicit any change in the girl's expression. Instead, she adopted a fighting stance, clenching her fists and walking towards him step by step! Her posture clearly indicated that she intended to kill him!

Lei Ming also noticed An Ke's abnormality. Her expression was numb... her eyes were lifeless, she looked like a robot from a movie, but he couldn't be mistaken! He was certain that the person in front of him was the same An Ke from four years ago who was so naive as to try to reason with an emotionless artificial intelligence...

Now it has been turned into this state.

"Encore! Wake up!"

Seeing her like this, Lei Ming's anger burned even brighter! But he forced himself to calm down and continued speaking to An Ke, who was walking towards him:

"It's okay... I'll wake you up..."

Once you recover, I will find those people…

Those who captured you... those who tormented you... I will make them pay the price!

A price a million times more painful than death!!!

Despite Lei Ming's attempts to rouse her from her wits' end, the girl remained unmoved and instead raised her fist at Lei Ming, who was much taller than her…

My name is...

Anna!

After the girl coldly uttered a sentence in Russian…

Bang!

A powerful punch landed squarely on Lei Ming's chest!

In an instant… a powerful shockwave erupted from her fist! It spread from the two of them throughout the entire street! All the glass doors and windows of the houses on both sides were shattered!

at the same time

Fifty kilometers away, at a temporary command and combat base nestled between Qiulin, Russian Federation soldiers wearing headsets, listening to the screen, painfully covered their ears…

"what happen?"

The commander behind him noticed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to inquire. The soldier, enduring the pain, quickly replied:

"Sir...it seems someone is hindering Anna from carrying out her mission, and she's engaged in combat with them..."

"War?"

The commander looked doubtful. "What could possibly fight Anna?!"

……

On the other side, the shockwave caused by Anna dissipated, but the figure opposite remained standing firmly in place, without even moving an inch.

Just as the White Queen predicted... Anke's body was also enhanced by the stellar energy on this planet, but compared to Leiming... it seemed to be much weaker.

Her punch was powerful enough to turn a Tiger tank into scrap metal, but Lei Ming only felt a tiny bit of pain... like a three-year-old child hitting a strong adult with all his might.

This level of force... is roughly equivalent to when Thunder first landed on this planet and received its first burst of stellar energy...
