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

There are two more waves left, and the city walls should be able to withstand them, but they will definitely need major repairs afterward.

Under normal circumstances, a major overhaul would be manageable, but what is the situation now? With mutated species now on land, any problems with the city wall, known as the "wall of life," would be a fatal threat.

However, Xue Yunling's next move shocked Yan Shan, Mu Mu, and the others. Mo Sheng, who had been closely watching everything, clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, his eyes blazing with barely suppressed anger!

The ice crystal on Xue Yunling's chest had never dissipated, and now it was activated again, causing her to reenact the scene from just now.

In the absolute zero temperature environment, the particles and atoms that make up everything in the world cease their movement, and time stands still once again. The world is dyed an ice-blue color.

When things return to normal.

"Stop, it's stopped..."

Xue Yunling collapsed to the ground. In front of her, the waves formed by the sea condensed into countless tiny ice branches arranged before her eyes. Among them, a sharp thorn made of ice crystals was pressed against her snow-white neck, slightly piercing her skin and drawing out bright red blood.

She slowly rose, gazing at her magnificent achievements—

Looking ahead, the landscape had transformed into a frozen wasteland, with temperatures plummeting to an alarming extreme. Beneath the clear, thick ice crystals, the mutated creatures retained their ferocious faces, including some SS-level beings, making it seem as if they had entered the Ice Age.

Xue Yunling climbed over the city wall and stepped onto the ice. Finally, she collapsed onto the ice with a sigh of relief, panting heavily.

Despite the bone-chilling cold surrounding her, her lungs felt as if they had been scorched by fire, and every breath she exhaled condensed into a white mist.

She did it, she really did it.

boom--!

With a deafening roar, the ice shattered, revealing an enormous beastly figure. Its sharp, pointed horn pierced through countless layers of ice as it strode rapidly toward Xue Yunling.

This is actually an SS-class creature!

The ocean is so vast that SSS-level beings frequently appear, so there are naturally quite a few SS-level individuals. Although Xue Yunling's ice seal is strong, its range is too wide, so its strength is naturally incomparable to its power when targeting a single target.

One can imagine that Xue Yunling, who had already lost all ability to resist, would end up turning into mincemeat under its iron hooves.

Let alone an SS-class, even an A-class would easily take her life right now.

Yan Shan immediately prepared to kill the guy, and Mu Mu had already opened a spatial rift to take him away from the original place. Everyone was worried for her.

But there was a beam of light that was faster and sharper than them.

A phantom blue figure plummeted from the sky, shattering eternity and shifting time and space. In an instant, it turned the SS-class individual into a flurry of snowflakes, which then drifted away with the wind.

Mo Sheng walked quickly towards Xue Yunling, her eyes filled with the most tender smile, and extended her hand to her: "Yunling, thank you for your hard work."

"......"

Xue Yunling showed no reaction, remaining as cold as ever, like a block of ancient ice, unapproachable and unmelting to anyone.

"Honestly, what are you pretending for now!"

Mo Sheng hugged her tightly, her voice tinged with a sob. She had genuinely thought she had lost Xue Yunling, which had terrified her.

The fact that time-space freeze covered such a large area and was used twice in a row suggests that some unacceptable price must have been paid to achieve it.

Yan Shan had now reached Mo Sheng's back, facing Xue Yunling's pale, bloodless face, and said in a strong and sincere voice, "Welcome to China."

Xue Yunling's pupils suddenly dilated, and a hint of a contented smile finally appeared in her unchanging eyes. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Lingering Charm

"Success...?"

People on the other sides of the city wall, as well as those following the story online, have raised similar questions.

A few seconds later, a nationwide frenzy of celebration ensued.

We made it!

This battle with nature has brought us victory!

The Chinese leader commented on this as follows: "This is a historic moment!"

In the past, when faced with large-scale natural disasters, all humanity could do was run away, evacuate in time before the disaster struck, or sometimes there was no time to evacuate, leaving behind countless deaths and injuries, and leaving scars of pain in people's hearts.

Today, they have conquered a super tsunami that only occurs once every thousand years. Humanity has never achieved such a glorious victory!

However, this tsunami is just a small sneeze in the overall development of Earth. There is a possibility that there will be disasters several times or even hundreds of times larger than this one in the future. By then, humanity will surely have made even greater progress and continued this glory.

When Yan Ziming returned, the entire South China Sea coast had been transformed into an icy world, with all sorts of large ice sculptures standing tall, an unparalleled spectacle, as if the dead of winter had arrived, making people shiver with cold.

"Well done."

"Great!"

Qin Tianhai and Huang Tao were also very satisfied. Their faces, which had been clouded with worry due to the current situation, finally relaxed, and smiles, which had not appeared for a long time, appeared on their faces.

Liu Mengxian stood behind Yan Ziming, her serene face revealing little emotion, but Yan Ziming knew that she must also highly appreciate this battle.

Not seeing any of the heroes of this battle, Yan Ziming asked Yan Shan in confusion, "Where is Xue Yunling?"

"She has been taken to the hospital and will receive a series of rehabilitation treatments from the best therapists."

Yan Shan said to her, "Leave this place to the military. You should hurry back to the Beian Military Administrative Region. The garrison there is too weak right now."

"it is good."

Yan Ziming wanted to stay here a little longer and take in more of this glacial landscape, a deep sense of pride welling up inside him.

She was born in a powerful country where countless ancestors sacrificed their lives to protect the safety of the people behind them and to bring about a peaceful and prosperous era.

"Little Momo..."

Mu Mu approached her, her face pale. Yan Ziming was startled when she saw her and helped her up with heartache. However, she buried her head in her breasts and greedily inhaled their breath.

Yan Ziming's pretty face flushed slightly. Mu Mu was too presumptuous, doing this in front of so many people, which made her very embarrassed.

"I'll let it slide this time, since you're a patient... This is the last time!"

"Oh my gosh~~ Little Momo's haughty look is so cute~~"

Yan Ziming immediately exploded: "I'm not being arrogant! Don't jump to conclusions so easily!"

Even so, she didn't push Mu Mu away. Instead, she put her arm around Mu Mu's waist so that she could lean on it more comfortably.

After a while, Mu Mu finally lifted her head from Yan Ziming's gentle embrace and glanced at Liu Mengxian with a slightly provocative look. The latter tilted her head, not understanding what was going on, leaving Mu Mu feeling embarrassed.

While they were flirting, the army had already been mobilized, with hundreds of thousands of troops heading out to begin a series of cleanup operations.

Firstly, the task is to resolve the issue of this glacier.

Inside, there are many mutated species frozen in ice, all of which are from the ocean. More than 70% of them are species that people do not recognize. The glacier has preserved the activity of their body cells very well, which is beneficial to scientists’ research. Their job is to cut out these ice blocks containing large individuals while ensuring their integrity and transport them to the laboratory.

Don't worry about whether they're still alive. When facing S-class or higher individuals, just cut them into pieces. Even if they're still alive, they can only rage helplessly.

If you encounter a really ruthless one, they'll just cut your head off, leaving you unable to even unleash your impotent rage!

Furthermore, it is necessary to properly handle the subsequent waves, both large and small, or to utilize the earthen mound built by Yan Shan as a "secondary city wall," thus creating another solid defensive line.

Hmph, they really do live up to the philosophy of using whatever they have.

"Let's go back." After taking one last look at the scene, Yan Ziming decided to leave.

Liu Mengxian: "I will travel around again."

"...Are we going to check on the situation in other countries?"

"Correct."

"come back earlier."

"Ah."

Liu Mengxian left. This tsunami affected not only China, but also many other countries.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, many countries built military bases in coastal areas because the sea was relatively calm and served as a natural defense. Now, it is unknown whether they are in ruins.

Helping the seemingly frail Mu Mu onto the transport plane for their return, Yan Ziming slumped into the leather seat.

She was truly exhausted. She had just fought a fierce battle at Odyssey's base camp and hadn't even had a chance to rest before this disaster struck. She was mentally and physically drained.

It will probably take more than two hours to get back to Bei'an, which will be enough time for her to get a good night's sleep.

Those aircraft aren't places you can just sit in whenever you want. Don't think that solving the energy problem means you can just go back to your old ways of making things as easy as cabbage.

Admittedly, the price of deploying one aircraft is now much cheaper than before, but the cost is still quite high, comparable to the cost of two or three deployments by Dragonair. Even if you have the money, you wouldn't spend it like that; it would only be used in emergencies.

As for Mu Mu, Yan Ziming didn't want her to be too tired. It was just a short ride on a transport plane. In fact, Yan Ziming quite missed the feeling of riding a transport plane. Ever since Ye Qianxue broke through to the seventh level and Mu Mu had been by her side, she hadn't ridden on military equipment like transport planes again.

"By the way, where's Simo?" Before her eyes were completely closed, Yan Ziming remembered something important and opened them to ask Mu Mu.

"Her? I don't know, she's probably off gallivanting somewhere again!"

Mu Mu, completely unconcerned, countered, "But you seem a little unhappy?"

"...You figured it out."

"Nonsense, it's written all over their faces."

Yan Ziming pouted in frustration. Was her expression really that obvious?

It is said that human habits are muscle memory, and facial expressions are no exception. After your body has been reshaped, how could it still retain this kind of memory?

Mu Mu sat down next to Yan Ziming and nodded to her: "Tell me about it."
