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

"Wait a minute, if we look at it this way, aren't we redundant?"

The lieutenant general discovered the blind spot.

Judging from this, Yan Ziming alone is enough to complete the recapture. With her fierce firepower, the concepts of winning by sheer numbers or compensating for quality with quantity are meaningless in front of her.

A humanoid nuclear bomb, isn't it?!

From this perspective, their massive army seems rather incompetent.

No way! Wouldn't that make us look useless?

The lieutenant general felt a chill run down his spine. He picked up the walkie-talkie and growled, "Bomber squadron, continue the mission! Make sure you wipe them out!"

Meanwhile, Yan Ziming received a call from Huang Tao.

"Hey, go easy on me! Even though we've decided to abandon the construction within Jiangning, you can't just squander it like this!"

Upon seeing the images displayed on the satellite map, Huang Tao exclaimed that it was a waste of money and felt extremely distressed.

"The Middle East has been engulfed in war for over a decade and still has vast areas of ruins left. If you launch this attack, everything will be gone!"

These are Huang Tao's original words.

Yan Ziming felt extremely frustrated. Had he done something wrong?

"Okay, then I'll torment myself a bit from now on, alright?"

She pouted.

Ye Qianxue quickly snapped a picture of this scene; no one knows how she managed to capture the moment so perfectly.

Or is it that she is paying attention to her dearest older sister every moment?

The bomber formation continued to bomb the target area according to the pre-arranged plan, while the fighter formation also began to drop large-scale destructive weapons such as white phosphorus bombs, napalm bombs, and thermobaric bombs.

This is a strategy developed by the military to avoid using high-energy explosives as much as possible, and to use soft-kill methods such as combustion and asphyxiation.

While the initial results might not be as direct as dropping high-explosive bombs, it would preserve the integrity of the Jiangning Military Administrative Region to the greatest extent possible.

If high-energy explosives were used, those asphalt roads and such would collapse, and the foundations would be severely damaged. These are the very foundation of Jiangning.

Therefore, this situation should be avoided as much as possible, which is why Huang Tao scolded Yan Zimo for being wasteful.

However, simply using fire is not enough.

However, sometimes, a fire can burn brighter and brighter and become uncontrollable if it is fanned by the wind.

Huang Tao brought out his signature skill – riding the wind.

A stream of air blew, flowing in countless strands from all directions toward the Jiangning Military Administrative District. It was gentle yet powerful, bending the flames but not extinguishing them. Instead, it spread rapidly at a speed more than ten times the normal speed, transferring heat outwards.

The fire, which originally only covered the northern part of the city, spread to the eastern part of the city in less than a minute, crossing most of the city and engulfing it in flames.

The Battle of Red Cliffs.

People remembered this word.

The east wind pounded against this inferno, and no matter what it did, the fire could not be quelled, killing large numbers of enemies.

In an instant, the city was filled with all sorts of thick smoke, which was pungent and acrid. If an ordinary person went in, they would probably develop cancer within minutes, and in severe cases, they might die on the spot.

Under such intense fire, the insects inside the building felt unbearably hot, their skins charred crisp by the flames, and they all rushed onto the street, where they were burned alive.

With Yan Ziming's cover, no more planes were shot down.

Or rather, the insectoid beasts' anti-air capabilities were completely annihilated by Yan Ziming's bombardment... This statement seems more appropriate.

However, before the aerial bombs were all dropped, the ground offensive began.

This time, the main force is not insects, but the true masters of this land.

"roar--------!!!"

A deafening roar erupted, and a riot broke out in the city.

The mutated species inhabiting the city were enraged. They were thick-skinned and sturdy, and the fire had little effect on them.

Rumble...

Just by looking at the trembling of the ground, with the pebbles undulating like waves, one could sense the momentum of ten thousand beasts galloping.

The big shots are coming.

Numerous red eyes emerged from the edge of the city wall, radiating a chilling light, and then surged out like a tide, vast and endless.

Not only those in the city, but also the mutated species inhabiting the surrounding occupied areas have heard the news and are all rushing here.

Many of these are new species, mostly from the sea, which has led to a significant increase in the quality of terrestrial mutant species compared to before.

The most direct manifestation of this is that there are more high-level individuals, and A-level individuals are basically everywhere.

While it's not as terrifying as Tibet, it's not far off either.

If the force that recaptures the land this time is similar to the pioneering campaign a few years ago, then the human army, without the protection of city walls, will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses and may return defeated.

However, they were facing a recapture team composed of five ninth-tier warriors, a lineup far more impressive than before.

Unless they have a sequence level or more than one SSS-level individual, no matter how fierce the impact, they are destined to be completely crushed in front of the wheel formed by this absolute power.

Huang Tao immediately gave the order: "Fire!"

The armored positions, which had long been frustrated by Yan Ziming's eye-catching performance, finally had a chance to show their presence. They fired a cannon in a fairly orderly manner, and the sound waves resonated with each other, forming a terrifying shockwave.

23. It's time to take action against the mother insect.

"Relying on the respiratory system..." Yan Ziming touched his chin and said again:

"But I saw that when they stormed the city, the military used a lot of napalm and white phosphorus bombs... but it didn't seem to have much effect."

Both types of munitions have a significant impact on the air. Coupled with the numerous miscellaneous materials in the city, once they start burning, the concentration of toxic substances in the air is so high that biological targets would be virtually rendered useless by light.

However, when some soldiers were questioned afterward, they did not find that the insects and beasts had caused any major disturbance.

"That's why we say their respiratory system is much stronger than ours."

Luo Li took out a data table to show her.

“I have conducted a test. I put fifty of the lowest-level sickle spiders in a sealed space filled with toxic gas. They survived for 116 minutes, which is almost two hours. However, it is more accurate to say that they suffocated rather than being poisoned. So what you said is not true.”

"Furthermore, during the subsequent autopsy, we discovered that they had a special place in their bodies to store toxic substances that entered through the respiratory tract, which could be expelled at any time. Moreover, their blood oxygen concentration was dozens of times higher than that of humans, which could be regarded as a kind of storage, enabling them to hold their breath for a relatively long time."

"Tsk!" Yan Ziming took a few steps back and forth, flicking the paper report in his hand. "So, is this really a weakness of the other side? I feel like we've only discovered one of their strengths!"

"Well, I guess it's a weakness that... isn't really a weakness."

Luo Li shrugged. At least it was a discovery, and being able to draw some conclusions was better than drawing nothing at all.

However, after careful consideration, Yan Ziming did not think it was a useless conclusion.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.

Since ordinary toxic substances cannot cause them enough harm, we should specifically enhance the process by creating gases that strongly irritate their respiratory systems, thereby driving them out and saving the soldiers from playing hide-and-seek with them in the corridors.

This is not a difficult task for China, whose technological strength is growing stronger day by day.

Yan Ziming shared this idea with Luo Li, who gave him an OK sign. "Afterwards, I will repeatedly test which toxic substance they are least resistant to and get the results as soon as possible. But you must remember to get me more test samples, as we are already running out of samples."

"Sure, you can have as many samples as you need."

They're just some low-level scythe spiders. Once they're at level nine, you can catch them all in no time. It's not difficult at all.

Then came some data, such as how many bullets a sickle spider could block, the hardness of certain parts of its body, etc...

Yan Ziming didn't need to care about any of this; she didn't need to know. She was just going up there to harvest the韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting people), and she could just popularize the knowledge among the basic troops.

Finally, Yan Ziming asked the crucial question, "How are the preparations going with the mother insect?"

"Everything is ready, you can go now."

Luo Li led Yan Ziming into a completely enclosed room. From here on, the security level was raised to another level. Without strict procedures, it was impossible to enter, not even for those foreign scientific luminaries.

Yan Ziming and the others did not go in immediately. Instead, they went through a disinfection channel first. Then, Luo Li opened a cabinet next to her and took out two sets of protective suits, one large and one small.

"Put it on yourself."

"No need." An electric grid of lights appeared around Yan Ziming's body. "Remember not to touch me, or you'll turn into charcoal."

"...You should deactivate it first."

Luo Li wrapped her arms around Yan Ziming's waist, clinging to her like a koala, her limbs tightly wrapped around her, seemingly not intending to get down.

"What are you doing? Can't you walk by yourself?"

"Oh, don't worry about it. That hazmat suit is too heavy and uncomfortable to wear. Just think of it as being pregnant for ten months."

Did you carry the weight of your baby for ten months on your back?

Yan Ziming wanted to complain but was too lazy to, so he took her inside anyway, since carrying a little girl on his back wasn't a bad thing.

Upon entering, the combination of "tree and koala" immediately becomes the focus of attention.

But when the researchers saw that it was Luo Li hanging on Yan Ziming's back, their faces darkened, and they turned back to continue their experiments, pretending not to have seen her.

Did you really think that the girl on Yan Ziming's back was just an ordinary little girl?

She takes advantage of her status and is impolite to everyone, putting on airs. The worst part is that everyone here has to give in to her. Isn't that infuriating?
