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

Seeing that the path ahead had been cleared away by silver bubbles, Liu Wenbin decisively gave the order that now was the best time to evacuate.

Standing at the front of the tank, Ye Qianxue felt a little dizzy. The sudden acceleration of the tank made her unsteady on her feet. She stomped around on the slippery armor that was wet from the rain and almost fell off.

She was exhausted.

Quickly regaining her balance, Ye Qianxue laboriously retreated into the turret to calmly recover from the energy she had expended.

"So tired..."

Ye Qianxue half-closed her eyes, her whole body soaked by the rain, and her waterlogged clothes were very heavy. Even opening her eyes seemed a bit difficult for her now, and she wished she could sleep sweetly in Yan Ziming's arms.

While Ye Qianxue could calm down and rest in the car, Liu Wenbin had no chance to relax. He still had to direct the troops' withdrawal. If there was any change in the route, he had to immediately devise another route. Any hesitation would lead to a dead end.

"Just a little further, just a little more distance and we can get rid of them completely..."

Liu Wenbin gritted his teeth and thought hard, his brain working at lightning speed, planning all the possible routes forward. As long as he turned left at the next intersection, he could rest easy.

However, things in life rarely go as planned.

Just as they were about to turn left at the intersection, the ground at the intersection suddenly collapsed!

The road collapse covered the entire center of the intersection, like a natural chasm blocking their way.

This startled Liu Wenbin; he hadn't anticipated this situation at all! This was their best route, and the only way out was to turn back.

But there are still hundreds of mutated species chasing after them! Before they can break through, a new wave of mutated species will arrive and wipe them all out.

Air force support hadn't arrived yet, and now they were surrounded on all sides. Liu Wenbin hardened his heart and roared:

"You little brats, it's time to fight! Beat them!"

The tank's silent main gun roared again, disrupting the formation of the mutated creatures pursuing behind it, before it pressed forward once more.

A mutated rhinoceros, nearly five meters tall and weighing two tons, broke through the hail of bullets from the main force. 7.62mm bullets only grazed its skin. Four 12.77mm heavy machine guns were temporarily unusable due to overheating barrels. For a moment, the thick-skinned rhinoceros charged into Liu Wenbin's formation as if it were empty.

It first overturned an armored vehicle and pushed it a distance, its sharp horn piercing the armored vehicle's protective steel plate, just missing the occupants inside.

Without a doubt, this is an A-level creature, and a rather troublesome, offensive type of mutated species at that, posing a significant threat on the battlefield.

We can't let it continue to wreak havoc like this!

Liu Wenbin's first thought was to eliminate it as soon as possible, and he picked up the walkie-talkie to give the order.

Just then, a brilliant silver light appeared on its back, forming a mysterious rune that was branded onto its body.

Ye Qianxue's icy voice rang out from the other side:

"Space collapse."

The next second, the silver light on the rune intensified instantly, and the mutated rhinoceros's body froze strangely, its form twisting uncontrollably.

"Roar—" A shrill scream echoed throughout the battlefield. Its body, centered on the rune, began to shrink and disintegrate continuously, as if a black hole had opened inside its body. Its huge body was swallowed up little by little until it disappeared completely.

"call..."

Remembering everything that happened last night, Ye Qianxue staggered back a few steps, her body leaning weakly against the tank behind her. The heavy rain fell on her petite body, giving people a faint sense of pity.

Startled by what they had just witnessed, the mutated species seemed to have become somewhat fearful, and their offensive weakened somewhat.

"Press forward!" Liu Wenbin roared. This was the best opportunity, and if they didn't seize it, they would pay the price.

The machine gunner, disregarding whether the barrel was overheating, pulled the trigger before it had completely cooled down, spewing out deadly flames once more to clear the way for them. The red-hot barrel was already showing signs of softening.

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly. While they were making their best effort to break through, a wave of mutated species on the road arrived and rushed into the battlefield, suddenly bolstering their already sparse forces.

The shadow of death loomed over everyone's hearts. Like a desperate struggle, they poured out all their firepower, unaware that their magazines were empty, still frantically pulling the triggers.

Ye Qianxue's situation was also precarious. She had been standing quite close to the front when she was dealing with the mutated rhinoceros, so she naturally became the target of the mutated species' attack.

She could only use her remaining strength and energy to keep struggling, her staggering figure looking so disheveled.

"die!"

Several predators darted in front of a soldier, raising their claws to tear him apart. The soldier roared, determined to tear their throats apart, even if it meant biting them!

A blue phantom flashed by and disappeared in an instant. The soldier bit into empty air, and in his excessive force, he almost broke his own teeth.

When he came to his senses, the predator that had just been in front of him had been split in two and had lost all signs of life.

"What is that...?"

He witnessed an incredible scene.

In the pouring rain, a blue light left numerous afterimages, drawing a pale blue trail, saving dozens of soldiers in danger, before flashing off to a certain spot.

While Ye Qianxue was fighting a fierce battle, she suddenly realized that the mutated species she was fighting had disappeared. She relaxed and took a few steps back, falling into a warm embrace.

The moment she was embraced, Ye Qianxue knew who it was. That familiar scent, that warm embrace—it was the person she had been longing for day and night! Exhausted, she nestled in that warm embrace.

"sister..."

Yan Ziming's eyes were full of affection as he gently kissed Ye Qianxue's forehead.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Chapter 117 Thor's Whip

Holding the charming and lovely girl in his arms, Yan Ziming felt guilty.

If only she could have been faster, she would have dawdled for so long. If she had arrived any later, she would have regretted it for the rest of her life.

"Big sister, you're too slow!"

Ye Qianxue complained in her arms, but it sounded more like she was being coquettish.

"I'm sorry, but I'll take care of the rest from now on!"

Now that she's here, she's determined to achieve something. Yan Ziming can't swallow this insult, seeing her younger sister bullied like this.

However, before that, she had to ensure Ye Qianxue's safety before she could unleash her full power. After all, how could she fight with all her might while holding someone in her arms? There wouldn't be any "killing while holding a girl" scenes like in anime, which don't exist in reality and would only put her in a difficult situation.

She needed to find a capable person to protect Ye Qianxue during her battles, and so someone was targeted...

"Tian Tian, ​​come here right now!"

Yan Ziming searched everywhere for Tiantian, but couldn't find her anywhere on the battlefield.

"Is it already dead?"

Yan Ziming thought to himself, somewhat rudely.

That shouldn't be the case. He was a fourth-level ability user, how could he just die like that?

"I'm here..."

A blood-red figure emerged from an overturned armored vehicle. The heavy rain washed away the blood from her face, revealing a youthful and beautiful face of about sixteen years old.

It seems that Tian Tian has also been through a fierce battle, with large and small wounds all over his body, and blood seeping out as the rain flows. His long jeans have a big hole in them.

Unfortunately, she had just been inside the armored vehicle overturned by that Class A mutated rhinoceros, and the sharp horn that pierced her almost pierced her through; the hole in her pants was the best proof of that.

"Does it still hurt...?"

Yan Ziming touched the scar on her shoulder with pity. It was the most serious injury on her entire body, and the white bone was already visible.

Tian Tian said nonchalantly:

"What's a little injury? Although... it hurts a lot, it really hurts..."

As she continued, her voice trembled with sobs, but she still managed to finish the sentence.

"Sigh... You've had a hard time."

Yan Ziming gently hugged Tiantian with his other hand, tenderly comforting her.

He's still just a child! To experience such a brutal battle at only sixteen years old is unimaginable in peacetime, but it's commonplace in this apocalypse.

Yan Ziming himself had seen many superhumans around the same age as Tiantian, but many of them died on the battlefield because they were not mature enough, and most of them did not even leave behind their remains. Perhaps one day, even Tiantian will follow in their footsteps.

"I really don't want to see you in a pile of corpses..." Yan Ziming didn't want Tiantian to end up like them. She made up her mind that as long as she was by Tiantian's side, she would never let such a vibrant life as her perish.

Although Tian Tian's usual behavior is a bit silly, Yan Zimo still saw a reflection of her past self in Tian Tian: unyielding and stubborn, seeking a glimmer of hope between death and wreckage, and having witnessed countless blood and fires—all things she had experienced.

But after this battle, she has become a capable superhuman, completely different from when she was showing off and almost got killed. Having witnessed this cruel side of the apocalypse, her chances of surviving are much greater than others.

"Take care of Qianxue for me, and I'll show you how I fight my way out."

After handing the exhausted Ye Qianxue over to Tiantian, Yan Ziming struck what he thought was a very cool pose, clearly telling Tiantian—I'm about to start showing off, watch closely!

Tian Tian said dismissively:

"Forget it, it's already good enough that you can get us out of here."

Um?

Yan Ziming suddenly realized that she had never shown her strength in front of Tiantian before, no wonder she didn't believe what she said.

I wonder how surprised Tian Tian will be when he sees me unleash my full power?

Yan Ziming laughed out loud, imagining Tian Tian staring in astonishment at his triumphant return.

Tian Tian naturally heard it. Rather than saying that Yan Ziming didn't try to hide her laughter at all, Tian Tian felt that the laughter was full of malice towards her.

He rolled his eyes at her helplessly, gave up on investigating the matter, and carried Ye Qianxue into an armored vehicle.

"Hey, Chiyuki."
