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

Five ninth-tier beings, one Soul Heaven Realm expert! Plus a Black Calamity!

Once he arrives, the Jiangning Military Administrative Region will be at full strength in an instant, so there will be no need for him.

With them gone, the Bei'an Military Administrative Region is now empty. He will most likely go there, but Bei'an still has Li Haoyi and Murong Haiyi, which should be enough. Or perhaps he will go to Sichuan.

Jiangning was, in fact, the last resort.

"That's a real pity." Yan Ziming sighed. She really hoped that Huang Tao could return to Jiangning.

"Who knows? Maybe I can go back." Huang Tao took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Yan Ziming glanced at Huang Tao discreetly, then said in a slightly coquettish tone, "For this one recapture battle only, I can be a marshal, okay?"

"Ugh cough cough cough cough cough cough cough—!" Huang Tao immediately started coughing violently, looking at her in disbelief, "R-really?"

"Really, but let me make it clear first, I'm only good at fighting, I'm not good at leading troops or anything like that."

"That's fine, I'll talk to them when I get back."

Huang Tao extended his fist, and Yan Ziming smiled and extended his hand as well.

boom...

Two fists, one big and one small, collided.

The agreement has been made.

1. The responsibility expected of a marshal

On March 3, 2030, China launched another major operation.

The territory, unchanged for five years, is about to expand again.

This is an action that many countries have been eagerly anticipating but have never seen.

To accomplish this feat, lacking sufficient national strength would be a waste of time, energy, and money.

With eleven ninth-rank officials already in China, it's understandable that they would take such a significant action.

In addition, there was another major event that shocked the world—the change of leadership.

The Chinese leader has served for more than 15 years. Due to the special historical context of the end times, his term was extended by a few years. Now that society has become more stable, it is time for him to step down.

Therefore, changing leaders at this critical juncture is intended to ensure that the new leader has sufficient achievements to consolidate his position and build his reputation for subsequent recapture operations.

The change of leadership in a superpower naturally caused a worldwide sensation, with countries sending congratulatory messages to China's new leader, and a wave of excitement sweeping through China itself.

The emergence of new things always leads to the demise of some old things.

The new broom sweeps clean, and the newly appointed leader immediately investigated and dealt with inaction or violations of discipline, resulting in the removal of a number of officials from their posts, and the arrest of some who were guilty of embezzlement and bribery.

Of course, these were all left by the previous owner specifically for him to kill.

It's not that we won't kill them, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.

Furthermore, the new leader has been vigorously promoting the relevant regulations on people with supernatural abilities, and his skills in international relations are in no way inferior to those of his predecessor, winning unanimous praise from the Chinese people.

"This is right at the start of the recapture operation, and there are already so many things being done to lay the groundwork. It feels like a huge responsibility."

With nothing to do, Yan Ziming was browsing the news on his phone in the camp when he came across a story about the new leader.

Upon seeing the video, Ye Qianxue rested her chin on Yan Ziming's shoulder and said, "Hey... Qianxue recognizes this person. Isn't he the new leader...?"

"I don't really care about these national affairs... Can you tell me about them?"

"Qianxue isn't really sure either, but she's seen a lot of videos about him before, and his poll numbers are pretty high, you know?"

Ye Qianxue wasn't really sure either. In her spare time, she would play some games for entertainment, such as certain pay-to-win mobile games. She was a veteran pay-to-win player.

"Is that so... Well, I've never met him in person."

Yan Ziming pondered for a moment. Just then, the tent flap was lifted, and a slender, graceful figure walked in, accompanied by a melodious voice:

"Marshal, everything is ready. When do we give the order?"

"I already told you I'm just here in name only to fight this war, Mu Mu, stop joking. Besides, even if I don't do anything, the recapture of Jiangning should be a piece of cake, right?"

Yan Ziming stood up helplessly and kissed the beautiful woman in front of him.

After a brief moment of intimacy, Mu Mu, slightly dissatisfied, sat down in the seat Yan Ziming had just been sitting in, and took a deep, blissful breath.

"Whoosh—that's the smell of Little Momo~"

Yan Ziming shivered, goosebumps rising on his skin. "Ugh—can you stop being so perverted? And that's my seat! The Marshal's reserved seat!"

"So what? He's just a marshal, but it's only temporary. Look at how capable you are."

"He's still a marshal! I have the right to deal with you, a woman who disrespects her superiors!" Yan Ziming said angrily.

"Then...come on, my lord?"

Mu Mu became even more audacious, throwing a seductive wink at Yan Ziming, trying to seduce him, but Yan Ziming remained unmoved, expressionless, with a few sparks dancing on his fingertips.

Women will only slow down my sword strikes.

"Tch, my good disciple is the one who can satisfy me the most. My good disciple, come here~"

Knowing she was being tedious, Mu Mu rolled her eyes, stood up, and opened her arms to Ye Qianxue.

When she came to her senses, Ye Qianxue was already in Yan Ziming's arms.

"Hmph~ She's mine!"

Yan Ziming put his arm around Ye Qianxue's waist and smugly shouted at Mu Mu, making Mu Mu grit her teeth in anger.

"Ahem, alright, this is a military camp. You need to know what you should and shouldn't do. Even if it's temporary, I'm still a marshal."

After a brief period of playful banter, Yan Ziming straightened his attitude and began lecturing the two of them on profound principles.

They are currently setting up camp in a desolate area south of the Jiangning Military Administrative Region.

Just like when they recaptured Yongjing before, the main force chose to temporarily reside in one place to first understand the situation in the city before they began to move in.

The only difference is that Yan Ziming is now the marshal of this operation, standing at the top of everyone's position.

"Alright, get out of here now, don't keep your men waiting."

Mu Mu urged him on, and Yan Ziming quickly tidied up and went out.

"That's why I opposed her joining the army. Otherwise, she'd have to give up the time she spends with us, right? My dear disciple~"

"Ok!"

Ye Qianxue nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, the position of "elder sister" is only temporary, otherwise we wouldn't have much time to see each other in the future.

"Master, aren't you her secretary? Aren't you going out?"

"Oh right, then I'll go out, you come with me."

"Hey—Chiyuki wants to play games here..."

"Cut the nonsense!"

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

Yan Zimo arrived outside in a grand manner. A safe zone had been established here, and all the mutated species within a ten-mile radius had been eliminated. This place would be used as a rear base for development.

The surrounding area was bustling with people and large machinery. Tanks lined up in a row outside, and helicopters were constantly taking off and landing, dropping troops over.

Yan Ziming hadn't observed military equipment up close for a long time. It was much more futuristic than it had been a few years ago—exoskeletons for individual soldiers had begun to be deployed. The scale wasn't large, but it was already quite significant. The technology was mature, only the cost was high.

There are also tracked robots carrying super-heavy firepower that Yan Ziming had seen before. The firepower of one robot is equivalent to that of an infantry platoon. Five hundred of these super-firepower robots have already been deployed.

During the last decade of the war, countless soldiers died in China, and at one point the conscription age was even lowered to sixteen.

These are the foundation and future of China!

To avoid losing its already scarce population, China chose this method of warfare: using unmanned robots in combat to reduce personnel casualties. This approach will become more widespread in the future.

"marshal!"

As soon as Yan Ziming appeared, the passing soldiers saluted her, as if they were facing a lofty faith; they were incredibly dignified.

After all, the position of marshal is a kind of faith.

Knowing full well that this belief was unshakable, Yan Zimo could no longer be as easygoing as before in front of the crowd and had to maintain a dignified demeanor.

Her improved strength, along with her previous achievements, has already given her an aura of quiet authority in front of outsiders.

2. The plan was suspended.

In the recent westward expansion plan, which aimed to completely eradicate the mutated species within Tibet Province, Yan Ziming's active role was so significant that it defied easy categorization as mere achievement.

Through several battles, Yan Ziming had established an unshakeable authority in the army.

Under the watchful eyes of many soldiers, Yan Ziming arrived at the command post, where someone was already waiting for her.

"Yo, you're here."

Huang Tao stopped what she was doing, but the other generals were not as casual as Huang Tao and saluted her.

Yan Ziming nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
