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

"who is it?!"

After examining the equipment in their hands, several soldiers from the United States raised their guns and pointed them at the little girl's location; the ammunition on them emitted an unknown glow.

This is a special ammunition whose power has been enhanced specifically for mutant species. It can cause great damage whether it hits a mutant species or a superhuman, and its power should not be underestimated.

"Huh? Wait a minute, how did I get discovered?" The little girl was stunned at first, and an incredulous expression appeared on her face. She had clearly eliminated all traces of herself!

But she quickly reverted to her previous harmless demeanor, completely unconcerned about the gun pointed at her.

"Sigh... It's rare for me to not want to solve problems with violence, but you won't give me that chance~~"

The little girl touched her cheek helplessly and said, her blood-red eyes filled with a brutal glint, and the faint smile on her lips turned into a cruel grin.

Three seconds.

In just three seconds, somehow, this place was transformed into a living hell. Blood gushed into the sky, and hundreds of soldiers were torn to pieces before they could even react. Limbs and torsos were scattered everywhere, and the walls were stained with blood, which flowed onto the ground.

pat, pat.

The little girl's delicate white feet stepping on the blood didn't seem out of place at all; on the contrary, it gave off a sense of holiness, like a white lily blooming in a raging sea of ​​blood, sacred and inviolable.

She came to a metal door that had been reinforced in many ways. Perhaps unaware of what this door meant to others, she raised her small, delicate fist and punched it!

boom--

A tremendous force, as if the world had been created, appeared on the little girl's fist, blasting the metal door away. A small fist imprint was deeply imprinted on it, almost completely piercing through the door!

This scene was witnessed by a high-ranking military officer who was still breathing, and he was nearly scared out of his wits.

This is the "Sanctuary Gate," created using special metals brought back from the moon by the United States and combined with other resources. It is said to be able to withstand the explosion of a megaton-class hydrogen bomb!

Tests have shown that this door's defensive capabilities are no less than those of the strongest known SSS-level mutated species, the "Rock Fortress," and it can even self-repair, albeit at a relatively slower pace.

"Rock Fortress," an SSS-class mutated species that nearly destroyed a European military base, required three rounds of nuclear strikes to eliminate, forcing the military base's defenses to retreat nearly a hundred miles. Although it was only an SSS-class, its role on large-scale battlefields was no less significant than that of a Sequence-class.

However, this seemingly harmless little girl almost punched through the door!

Doesn't this mean she's a super-powerful being who can break through the "Rock Fortress" defenses with a single punch and cause damage to it?

"Calling for backup! There's an intrusion in Area A, just one person, but their strength... at least level nine!"

The senior officer only had time to send a final distress signal via radio before he was completely killed, his head turning to mush.

The little girl seemed a bit annoyed. The moment she flung open the door, she knew that what she was looking for wasn't here, but somewhere more hidden.

She picked up the radio and noticed someone else's voice still echoing on it. A curious smile crept across her face as she picked up the radio and shouted, "Hello—is anyone there—?"

"...Who are you, and what are you doing barging into our base?" A deep, questioning voice came from the other end.

"My name is Simo~~ I came here to pick up something." The little girl... oh no, Simo said with a smile, as if it were a matter of course.

"So...where did you hide the thing? Tell me and I might have the mercy to let everyone here go."

Si Mo's voice was calm, yet it gave off an undeniable feeling, and the person on the other end of the radio inexplicably felt a suffocating sensation, as if their heart was being gripped.

ziz......

The radio went completely silent. In its place, the entire military facility underwent a dramatic change. All exits were sealed off, and the internal temperature rose sharply, quickly reaching an alarming level.

At the same time, the military facility was descending deeper into the ground, then strange energy fluctuations appeared, followed by a feeling of weightlessness, a sudden drop in air pressure, and finally, it transformed into the most dazzling ball of fire in the vast sky.

Seventy kilometers south of Zone Seven, at an altitude of over 30,000 meters, a dazzling burst of fire erupted. Its origin was unknown, but those who had witnessed it knew it to be the explosion of humanity's most powerful weapon—a nuclear weapon.

However, the enormous fireball in the sky, representing humanity's supreme destructive power, seemed to be blown away by the incredibly strong wind pressure, revealing its tiny form.

"Cough cough—good heavens, you're really decisive, forcing me into such a sorry state..."

Si Mo's dress turned to ashes, revealing her delicate, youthful yet deadly alluring white body. She coughed forcefully, cursing under her breath.

All of this took no more than five seconds, so fast that even if Si Mo reacted, she wouldn't have time to take any action.

"Hmm? Oh dear... Perfect timing, I'll go see you."

She suddenly looked at an area more than ten kilometers ahead of her, her eyes showing interest, and temporarily suppressed her dissatisfaction as she ran towards it.

Chapter 120 Pureblood Qilin

Immediately after the nuclear explosion was detected, senior personnel at the White House military base sent a video link to speak with the top military leader of the Seventh District.

After the video call was approved, a high-ranking military official immediately asked in a deep voice:

"Admiral Jason, what's going on? Why is Sector A being ordered to self-destruct?!"

The person asking the question was Herrington, a ninth-rank official in the United States. His position was above all others, and he was respected by the entire nation. Even though Jason and Herrington were both top-ranking military figures, they had to provide a reasonable explanation, otherwise impeachment would be inevitable.

General Jason Howell, a top expert among the eighth rank, might be able to break through to the ninth rank if he puts in a little more effort.

At the same time, he is also the highest military leader in the Seventh District and a confidant of Mandala.

General Jason paused, his brows furrowing deeply: "An intrusion has occurred! The guards... all wiped out!"

Codenamed "Area A," it is a top-secret laboratory within the United States, containing various precious resources and experimental data. All sorts of things, both imaginable and unimaginable, can appear here.

The fact that such a valuable laboratory executed a self-destruct order cannot be simply dismissed as "an intrusion occurred and the defense failed."

"What faction do they belong to? How many of them are there?"

"Just one person, looks to be around thirteen years old, and appears to be Asian. She blasted the gate to the sanctuary with a single punch, so her strength is at least at the ninth level!" General Jason said solemnly.

"What?! That's impossible! The Sanctuary Gate was made using the body of the 'Stone Fortress' and other special metals. You're saying it was blasted open with a single punch?!"

Herrington immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up, exclaiming incredulously.

He knew better than anyone how tough the "Rock Fortress" defenses were. He had participated in the support operations for Europe as a NATO ally in that battle, and the result was that it was impossible to break through; only a nuclear attack could destroy it.

In the end, he managed to smuggle back a portion of the "Rock Fortress" shell through underhanded means. Combined with other special technological materials from the United States to create such a protective door, it was somehow blasted apart by a single punch.

"The surveillance footage recorded everything, and it will be sent to your emails shortly... Fortunately, the other party wasn't after the experimental results; they didn't take anything. The storage location for the data was preserved, but those finished products..."

General Jason's expression was slightly grim; those finished products, worth tens of billions of dollars, were all gone in an instant.

"As long as the data is still stored there, that's where the real value lies."

Herrington simply tapped the table a few times with his index finger and said dismissively.

Research is usually required to spend hundreds of billions of dollars, and the amount of money burned is unimaginable. Of this, the cost of the finished product is usually no more than 20%.

The real money burns in the experimental and exploratory process. The data obtained in this process is the most valuable treasure. If the finished product is lost, it can be remade, but if the data is lost, it is truly gone. Even if there is a person in charge of the subject, it is unknown how much sacrifice is required to start from scratch.

Harrington, unconcerned by Jason's lack of response, asked, "How's the situation in District Seven?"

When the topic came up, Jason regained his usual composure: "Everything's fine for now. The thick fog on the east and west sides suddenly dissipated for some reason, but it's still persisting in the south, and in the north..."

Jason paused for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Yan Shan's strength is clearly at the Sequence level, and their opponent is also at the Sequence level."

"Sigh... We finally managed to gain a foothold amidst the waves of the apocalypse, and now we're about to face another turbulent storm?"

"What I mean is... if this battle is successful, should we take this opportunity to... deal with our old rival?"

The second half of the sentence was not spoken, but Jason's intention was already very clear: he wanted to use China as a stepping stone and then betray it.

Jason then asked, "And those Chinese contestants are also the biggest threat to the United States in the future. I personally want to wipe them all out here."

"We don't have that capability, unless... we use nuclear weapons when they return, but we will also face corresponding retaliation, which no one can afford. Now is not the time to turn against them, let's talk about it later."

After saying that, Herrington hung up the video call, not giving Jason a chance to make any further suggestions.

.........

"Big sister, please don't let anything happen to you..."

Cracks tore open in mid-air, and Ye Qianxue darted through them, anxiously praying for Yan Ziming.

She could sense scattered lightning elements on the road ahead, from which she could determine Yan Ziming's route.

"Ah! I see it!"

Through the endless mist, one can see the enormous, towering shadow ahead, its massive scorpion tail reaching the sky. In front of it, there are two figures lying prostrate on the ground.

"Big sister... and little sister Mo Xin!"

Ye Qianxue recognized the two people at a glance and was immediately terrified. She activated her spatial ability to the limit and simultaneously activated the Realm Annihilation skill, hoping to temporarily delay Poison Scorpion's actions.

The scorpion merely glanced at her and ignored her. The person in front of it, who brought it excruciating pain, was the target of all its hatred and someone that had to be eliminated.

It had already raised its giant pincers, ready to clamp down, and the explosive force caused the space to distort slightly, showing signs of shattering.

Just then, Ye Qianxue also teleported to Yan Ziming and Mo Xin's side through the spatial rift, intending to take them away. However, she discovered that her superpower had become temporarily inactive due to overuse, and she was unable to activate it.

This is terrible! Are they really just offering themselves up for free?

The spatial rift that had not yet dissipated and could cleave everything was directly annihilated under the clamping force of the giant pincers, and Ye Qianxue lost her greatest reliance.

"No..." Ye Qianxue couldn't help but cry out as a strong gust of wind swept in, threatening to annihilate them completely.

"Meow—" Yan Ziming felt a strange movement on his chest; it was Xiao Ze.

It stretched out its head, roared at the scorpion, and the roar turned into rolling sound waves that spread out. The scorpion seemed to be strongly shaken in its soul and stood there frozen.

Then Xiao Ze leaped out from Yan Zimo's chest and became a giant beast more than 30 meters tall. It had a pair of deer antlers on its head, fiery red eyes like the sun, moon and stars, and was covered with colorful scales. Its tail was shaped like a cow's tail, its hair was like a dragon's, and its voice was like thunder. It was a combination of deer antlers, dragon head, deer body, dragon scales and cow tail. Its tail hair was shaped like a dragon's tail, and one of its horns had flesh on it.

A mythical beast—the Qilin!

Moreover, it is the purest bloodline, an ancient auspicious beast born from the favor of heaven and bathed in countless auspicious omens—the Qilin!

"Xiao Ze..." Ye Qianxue covered her mouth in surprise, calling out in disbelief.
