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

How powerful was Yan Ziming's attack just now? Apart from tactical nuclear weapons, no conventional weapon could achieve such a strike effect, yet it didn't even achieve a single result.

"Stop everything."

Li Hao signaled to the Chinese troops that they needed to revise their strategy to avoid falling into a completely passive situation.

Meanwhile, representatives from Russia and the United States had caught up and joined forces with the Chinese side.

Chapter Seven: Thinking from a Different Perspective

The representatives from the United States and Russia were also completely bewildered. They had witnessed the situation just now, and the circumstances had turned against them.

When Luther saw that Li Haoyi was leading the team and that Yan Ziming was also accompanying them, his expression changed.

The fact that Li Haoyi had advanced to the ninth rank was already known worldwide, giving China a great boost in international prestige once again.

“Let’s exchange the information among ourselves first,” Yevgeny suggested.

He held up one finger: "First of all, without communication, our subsequent operations simply cannot proceed."

Li Hao's expression changed immediately. The matter was urgent, and he had indeed not yet confirmed this aspect.

That would be terrible. Intelligence is the foundation of winning a battle. Not being able to get information in time is like shutting out their ears, or even their eyes. They would be like blind men, not even knowing where their troops are, whether they have encountered the enemy, or even if they have been wiped out.

After a brief moment of thought, Li Hao's expression shifted several times before he said:

"Then let's share some intelligence. Perhaps you've all guessed that we're trapped. Since those living fossils dare to show themselves and aren't afraid of our encirclement, it means that even strategic nuclear weapons probably can't do anything to them!"

The "it" I'm referring to is naturally the protective shield.

Those around him were horrified. They would rather Li Hao had mistakenly said "strategic nuclear weapon" instead of "tactical nuclear weapon" than that he was telling the truth.

Tactical nuclear weapons are generally just 'small things' ranging from a few thousand tons to ten or twenty thousand tons, so this failure is understandable.

Strategic nuclear weapons, however, are deadly weapons that can easily weigh tens of thousands or even millions of tons!

If even such a powerful weapon fails to work, then humanity's operation can be considered a failure, and human civilization will come to an end.

"I'll go see if I can break it!"

Luther left in a low voice. Li Hao shrugged, indicating that it was up to him; some things you just have to try to know.

He was high in the sky in the blink of an eye. After a burst of golden light, he came back with a face that looked like he had eaten a rotten durian, looking terribly ugly.

It can't even shake the most basic things.

For a moment, the entire human alliance was tinged with despair. Even the three ninth-tier warriors were extremely gloomy, pondering how to ensure the safety of their group.

At this moment, Yan Ziming frowned slightly, feeling dissatisfied with the group's dejection: "Aren't we still here?"

The battle hasn't even fully begun yet, and you're already getting discouraged? This is ridiculous!

Everyone looked at her.

"It would be truly hopeless if we were all outside, but right now we're inside enemy territory! Think about it another way: maybe they activated the shield not to trap and devour us, but to prevent more of the human alliance from getting in?"

Despite the gazes of so many people, Yan Ziming showed no stage fright, her gentle yet resolute voice emanating from her lips.

Everyone was taken aback by these words.

Luther and Yevgeny began to consider the feasibility.

Things might not be as bad as they think. She's right; if you look at things from the opposite perspective, everything is different.

If all of humanity were outside, that would be truly hopeless, as we could only watch others rise while we were powerless to take any effective measures.

But now that they are inside, and have gathered so many powerful individuals, the possibilities are vast!

Perhaps, as Yan Ziming said, we can really stir up trouble inside the enemy's ranks?

Li Hao secretly gave Yan Ziming a thumbs up. He had only just thought of this himself, but Yan Ziming had said it first.

It seems they can't escape the trap of being "blinded by their own involvement"!

Yan Ziming had planned it this way from the beginning. They couldn't do it. As commanders, they had too many things to consider, and they were sometimes slow to realize things that others could understand at a glance.

Since generals can become generals and prime ministers can become prime ministers, their talents are already extraordinary. Why do they need to listen to the opinions of their subordinates?

It is a blessing for a monarch to have ministers who dare to speak the truth, and it is the same principle that a prime minister should frequently visit the people to understand their lives.

"How many combat troops do we have here?" Luther pondered.

Li Haoyi was the first to announce China's lineup: "We have three ninth-tier members, namely Mu Mu, Qin Tianhai and myself, four eighth-tier members, ten seventh-tier members, and forty-three members from the fourth to the sixth tier."

"Is Mu Mu here too?"

Both Luther and Yevgeny were moved; if she had been there, the 'cage' would have crumbled on its own!

This is also something they overlooked. Even if those living fossils really wanted to take them on, they would have to give up in front of this grandmaster of the space system.

"That's right. Now that I think about it, why did they make such a big fuss when our migration operation with other countries had only ended half a day ago? Is there really only a coincidence involved?"

Li Hao asked the question.

Yevgeny continued along this line of thought: "Are you trying to say that they don't want to break ties with us, or... they don't dare to, which is why they didn't make their move before the migration was complete?"

“That’s right. They could have dealt us a heavy blow when we were fully mobilized, so why did they choose to do it right after the migration was completed? I think it’s probably because we still have some means that they can be wary of.”

Yan Ziming was suddenly startled.

She thought of Yan Shan and Xian'er.

If those at the ninth level can only look on in despair at this 'turtle shell', then the two who have transcended this level have undoubtedly broken the norm.

The more you think about it, the more likely it becomes.

Xian'er's existence is no longer a secret since she killed a Sequence-class creature in the United States yesterday. Ordinary people are still guessing that it is Yan Zimo, but those who understand know that it is definitely someone else!

These "enlightened people" include this group of living fossils.

To what extent did they understand? To the point that they were certain 'this person is definitely not just at the ninth level'.

And there's her uncle—Yan Shan.

Yan Ziming absolutely refused to believe that he was the only one who could sense the commotion he made a few days ago when he attempted to break through to the Soul Heaven realm.

Thinking this way, even if humanity truly cannot intervene, the worst outcome would be a negotiated compromise, and the anticipated war would not occur.

"But we are also threatened by tsunamis."

Luther's voice broke the silence.

Li Hao shook his head: "Saying all this is useless. We've dragged this out long enough. What we need to do now is to quickly strike the enemy's key facilities and achieve a phased victory!"

"Before that, we'd better take care of things here first."

Yevgeny glanced at the approaching 'things'.

A terrifying number of unmanned mechanical devices approached, each carrying a variety of weapons, and no one knew how much of a threat those weapons would pose.

However, there are only a few things that can be considered a threat to those at the ninth level.

They simply didn't believe these AI machines could have the power of a nuclear bomb.

Yevgeny threw the first punch, which blew up a whole row of buildings in front of him. With a shout, the battle officially began.

The rest of the human alliance, including Yan Ziming, also unleashed their full firepower at the same time!

"start!!!"

Chapter Eight: Spiritual Transmission?

As Yevgeny made his move, Luther also emitted a burst of golden light, and everything within a radius of one kilometer was destroyed.

Hundreds of AI robots were wiped out by Yevgeny and Luther before they could even unleash their firepower.

It is no exaggeration to say that a single ninth-tier individual can support a nation. Their combat power is so high that they can move freely against any country's army. Unless their location is known in advance and a nuclear strike is launched, or there is a master of the same level to counterbalance them, the ninth-tier is an invincible existence.

Luther reported their lineup: "The United States has one ninth-ranked, two eighth-ranked, six seventh-ranked, and the remaining twenty are all sixth-ranked."

"We have one ninth-ranked person, three eighth-ranked people, eight seventh-ranked people, and thirty-two fourth to sixth-ranked people."

After Yevgeny announced his team's lineup, Li Hao asked, "Where are the EU members?"

At this point, the more effort they put in, the greater their chances of success. Ignoring other factors, the two leaders of their team are at least at the ninth rank, which can play a significant role.

To his surprise, Luther shook his head and told him, "Don't worry about them. They're probably still out there, not knowing how they got in."

"Then we'll have to rely on ourselves."

Li Hao started thinking about strategies after excluding the EU.

"The biggest problem now is communication; we must find a way to solve it."

"We can handle this."

Luther suddenly spoke, beckoning a man out from their ranks.

This is a beautiful woman, around twenty years old, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She is the mature older sister type, and also has the heroic spirit of a soldier.

“Alisa, show them your abilities,” Luther gestured to her.

Elisa nodded, clasped her hands together in a prayer gesture, closed her eyes, and demonstrated her abilities.

In an instant, everyone's expression changed, including Yan Ziming, who was also shocked.
