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

Yan Shan thought to himself in dismay, "What a pity that such a talent does not belong to our country. Today, we can only let him die here."

Having figured out the true nature of Youming and confirmed that there were no other hidden forces around, Yan Shan decided not to hide his abilities any longer.

“Roar…” Yan Shan let out a low roar, not loud, but it made everyone feel as if a mountain was about to collapse, including You Ming.

His body had changed. The once invincible mountain qilin, which had dominated the battlefield, now stood proudly on the ground, exuding a destructive aura.

In an instant, the mountains erupted in commotion!

At this moment, Youming's right eyelid was twitching almost twitching, and he finally understood the source of his unease.

A somewhat self-deprecating remark came out of his mouth.

"This is... a sequence concatenation!!!"

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Divergence

Yan Ziming entered the base.

This is a very old underground base, but it is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities and has a complex network of roads, making it a complete underground world.

Perhaps because everyone had fled after the attack outside, Yan Ziming didn't encounter many people along the way.

Even if she did encounter them, they were all small fry, which she dealt with cleanly and efficiently without making a sound.

As for corpses, just electrocute them into ashes; there's no need for all that trouble.

"Looks like they have some pretty good engineers! They were probably captured from somewhere else."

Yan Ziming carefully touched the somewhat dilapidated wall and accidentally peeled off a piece of stone!

"Wow... Is it this dilapidated? Won't it suddenly collapse?"

After thinking about it with a slight panic, I realized that it was indeed a possibility.

If it is used within its normal lifespan, this underground base should be able to last for several more decades without any problems.

But what if it encounters an external attack?

Perhaps the impact won't be significant; however, Yan Ziming is currently internally...

Since we're inside the enemy's stronghold, we're bound to encounter them, and battle is inevitable!

What if a landslide occurs during a fight...?

Even if Yan Ziming is at the ninth level, his chances of survival are slim!

We need to act quickly and decisively; we can't afford to delay!

Yan Ziming decided on the battle strategy in an instant: to kill the enemy in the shortest possible time and limit the use of some large-scale attack methods.

With her strength, even without reaching the ninth rank, she wouldn't be able to walk around aimlessly, but few could rival her, and it's impossible to completely suppress her.

While walking, Yan Ziming suddenly patted his chest: "Xiao Ze, any reaction?"

"Meow~~"

"Alright... Is Qianxue really here...?" Yan Ziming was a little disheartened.

She would be very disappointed if she found out that all her efforts had been in vain.

After walking a while longer, we came to a fork in the road, and we heard footsteps coming from the right corner.

He shook his head violently, banishing these negative thoughts, and listened carefully to the footsteps.

Judging from the footsteps, there were only three to five people. Unless they were high-level ability users, they could be dealt with in one move if they had the advantage of a sneak attack.

Yan Ziming, like a apex predator hunting its prey, already pointed its Thunder Cutter at the corner...

With a powerful push off the ground, he lunged forward, leaving the others with nothing but a blue-purple phantom before they could react.

Hand up, knife down.

A few wisps of ash appeared in the air as they were expelled from the base through the ventilation system.

This was the fifth group of people Yan Ziming had encountered. Although the number of people was not large, it still made Yan Ziming somewhat concerned.

"We need to act quickly."

Yan Ziming quickened his pace.

She killed five groups of people, a total of eighteen. With so many people missing, surely something must have happened by now.

There will inevitably be clashes with high-level superhumans.

Most importantly, she feared that Ye Qianxue was truly tied up here, which would provoke the enemy to fight to the death and end up harming her sister.

However, things don't always go as planned, and what you fear most comes to pass. Yan Ziming's worst fears have come true.

With no other option, and not wanting to be discovered, Yan Ziming could only climb up to a blind spot above like a monkey.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of steel equipment here, so even Yan Ziming, a shut-in, can stick to some special corners like Spider-Man.

A few seconds later, a group of about twenty people passed by below Yan Ziming.

Their seemingly chaotic movements actually sealed off unseen areas.

If Yan Ziming were to simply find a place to hide down there, he would definitely be discovered.

Perhaps realizing that many people had suddenly gone missing, the Singer's organization finally reacted and dispatched a large force, consisting of groups of twenty people, to conduct the search. All of them had received relatively professional training.

Occasionally, they would glance overhead, but Yan Ziming would naturally avoid the places they could guess, hiding above some equipment or in crevices. Unless they came up to look carefully, they couldn't see him at all.

And so, Yan Ziming escaped this group of people unscathed. The real trouble was yet to come.

What? You're asking where the camera went?

#Yan Ziming: "Hehe~~"#

In short, without a wide-range attack, it's impossible for Yan Ziming to kill twenty people in three seconds.

Even if she succeeds, with twenty people gone, anyone with a brain would know something's wrong. They'll definitely send people to surround the area, making it impossible for her to escape.

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

Outside, Mu Mu waved his hand and dismembered a person, blood splattering everywhere, ending the battle.

That was the last one. All eight high-level ability users were killed!

As for Mu Mu himself, he wasn't injured at all, not even a single hair was lost. He remained calm and composed, which greatly boosted morale.

This is where the strategic advantage of a ninth-tier expert becomes apparent.

If these eight high-level superhumans hadn't been restrained by her, allowing them to deal with others, the casualties in the Chinese contingent would have been several times higher!

With Mu Mu present, they not only stopped them all but also killed them directly. This demonstrates the strategic advantage of having a ninth-tier expert.

The subsequent battle became extremely one-sided, with more than half of the high-level ability users killed instantly. The Singer organization was routed and overwhelmed by a mere hundred or so Chinese soldiers.

"Tch, those two old geezers are quite troublesome. They've been stuck at the eighth rank for quite a few years, haven't they?"

Mu Mu scoffed and dusted off her sleeves. Suddenly, someone appeared silently beside her—Lei Yunting.

"Your Majesty, thanks to your intervention, we were not put in a passive position."

No matter what, this is the enemy's main base. Their force of just over a hundred people is far too small. Normally, no commander would agree to this operation.

If it weren't for Mu Mu's presence, Yan Shan would never have allowed them to launch an attack here; a slight misstep could have resulted in total defeat.

The current state of China cannot afford to lose so many elite personnel.

"Mm." Mu Mu simply nodded slightly in response to Lei Yunting's thanks.

[This is really difficult to handle. I heard that this person has the worst temper among the ninth-tier members...]

Lei Yunting cried out inwardly.

He had already heard that before she reached the ninth rank, she was a lawless person who dared to skip tasks assigned by the military.

If you're not at the level of the Five Pillars, you really can't command her.

Perhaps she listens to me now only because of Yan Shan's orders...

Lei Yunting understood this perfectly, so he didn't treat Mu Mu as his subordinate. Giving others a task was called assigning a mission, but when it came to her, it was called discussing it.

That's right, it's about discussing.

It must be quite frustrating for a commander to have reached this level, but there's nothing he can do; others have a stronger fist than him.

Lei Yunting shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Kang Ming, have you put the 'Flowing Flame' you were told to set up at the designated location?"

"The report has been placed at the designated location and is ready to be detonated at any time."

"Okay, give it to me now—"

"Wait a minute." Mu Mu interrupted their conversation. "What is this 'Flowing Flame' you're talking about? What do you want to do with it?"

Lei Yunting was slightly taken aback, but thought that since they were one of his own, it wouldn't matter if he said it.

"It is a portable nuclear device, with a single unit having the yield equivalent to a 200-yield nuclear bomb explosion..."

"You want to blow up their base?"

“That’s right.” Lei Yunting nodded.

"No, at least not now," Mu Mu said without hesitation.
