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

Yan Zimo was utterly defeated!

Even so, Yan Ziming still intended to put up a fight.

"Cough cough, Qianxue, let alone tonight, it might not be possible for the next few days either, there's still fighting..."

"Eh--"

Ye Qianxue's enthusiasm was immediately dampened, as if doused with a bucket of cold water.

This coupon is a birthday gift to myself. If I can't use it today, can I use it later?

Yan Ziming patted his sister's shoulder reassuringly and began to speak earnestly about life's lessons:

"Don't be sad, Qianxue. There's nothing we can do about it. We all have our own responsibilities, and we can't let this matter..."

"Huh?" Ye Qianxue had been staring at the coupon, and suddenly made a discovery.

“There’s another line of smaller print here…” Ye Qianxue leaned closer to take a look, “This coupon is valid indefinitely.”

"Gah!"

Yan Ziming looked stunned for a moment, while Ye Qianxue was overjoyed and threw herself into Yan Ziming's arms with the coupon in hand.

"Hehehe~~ Big sister~~ I like you the most~~"

Ye Qianxue happily took Yan Ziming's arm, and they were inseparable, like glue.

Seeing his younger sister's smile, Yan Ziming's regretful and suicidal mood was greatly relieved.

It seems she really likes this birthday gift... although it wasn't what I wanted.

Well, there's nothing wrong with making my sister happy, right?

But! Mu Mu, don't think this is the end of it!

With his revenge target firmly in mind, Yan Ziming affectionately tapped Ye Qianxue's forehead and said, "It's time to go back. Remember to pack your things properly, or I won't honor the contract if I don't see the coupon."

"That won't do!"

Ye Qianxue carefully put the coupon into her bosom as if she were afraid of being robbed, fearing that the coupon would suddenly disappear, which made Yan Ziming unable to help but chuckle.

"gone."

"Ah."

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

Two months after the start of Operation Ten East Winds.

All the insect nests inside the triangle formed by Bei'an, Nanyue, and Chuanshu were cleared. Two of the four insect nests inside, which were defined as "super-large", were also wiped out by the combined firepower of the three armies after ten days of non-stop firepower.

In fact, it's not up to them to decide their own fate. With so many ninth-tier beings attacking together, even if the scale were twice as large, they would still have to kneel.

The two massive insect hives initially put immense pressure on the army, making victory extremely precarious given the lack of city walls and distance from their rear.

In particular, the number of sky beetles reached an astonishing 'tens of thousands'. They suddenly emerged from countless places, completely surrounding the army and almost causing them to overturn.

The threat of the Sky Beetles was secondary; the real danger lay in the near-infinite number of the Radiant Moths, whose overwhelming scales and powder were terrifying, turning the entire field of vision into a pink world.

There are also the 'Night Ghosts' who gave them a hard time in the Jiangning Military Administrative Region. Every night, they can sneak in silently from unexpected corners and massacre people. And there are quite a few of them. Just a few can create a huge disturbance.

But even under such circumstances, they still achieved final victory.

Upon conquering the last insect nest within the triangle area, Yan Ziming announced the good news to the troops:

"I now declare that the first phase of Operation Ten East Winds has been a complete success! Comrades, you've worked hard!"

"Serve the people!"

After two months of fierce fighting, the surviving soldiers were all imbued with a fierce aura, their voices like those of savage dragons, and they were indomitable and unyielding.

As Yan Ziming said, the end of Operation Ten Directions only marks the end of the first phase. There is still a second phase, and depending on the situation, there may be a third phase.

The battle has not yet reached the point where it is time to turn back, after all, the east wind is about to blow across the entire country.

The next step is as follows—

If you connect Bei'an and Nanyue in a straight line, then heading southeast leads to the sea. They have to wipe out all the insect nests along this line that leads to the sea before they can begin their return journey.

However, the obstacles will be much greater... much greater, because the closer to the sea, the stronger the power of the mutated species on land. If, as before, a ninth-tier being in charge of a region is still responsible, they may encounter devastating setbacks.

Therefore, under the leadership's decision, it was decided to continue Operation Ten East Winds, with three ninth-rank units forming one battle line.

But before that, they had a whole day of rest.

On this day, an urgent report came from the military command.

"The King of Gu has been found?!"

Yan Ziming was so shocked by the news that he immediately stood up, and his expression, which had just relaxed, gradually became serious again.

"Yes, it was discovered by an exploration team that set off two weeks ago."

"Location."

"Heijiang Province, coordinates are **, **"

"it is good."

Yan Ziming urgently gathered his men, calling over Mu Mu, Ye Qianxue, Xiao Ze, and Mo Xin.

The reason so many people were called was because the Gu King might be a Sequence-level being, so we had to be careful.

Moreover, the greatest threat is the mirage dragon.

62. The King of Gu, Fallen

However, Yan Ziming felt that the Mirage Dragon would not make a move again, because wherever the Gu King was, it was there too. This was clearly a veiled message to Liu Mengxian, "Come and kill me," and it would not seek its own death.

However, just to be on the safe side, Yan Ziming said in a deep voice, "Call Xian'er as well."

"Already here."

A melodious and ethereal tune pierced through the air, and Liu Mengxian, with her graceful figure, approached, saying, "I will observe from the shadows; you will cooperate with me."

"Ah."

Yan Ziming nodded excitedly. With Liu Mengxian around this time, they could be fearless of any threat and run rampant.

"Alright, time to go."

A ring of transparent ripples emanated from Mu Mu's body, and their figures became diluted within these ripples, eventually disappearing completely.

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

When Yan Ziming and his group arrived in Heijiang Province, it was as if five gods had descended upon the place. Among them, Yan Ziming stood out, unleashing his full power, with rolling black clouds and thunder and lightning.

Liu Mengxian is hidden within these dark clouds; she will not reveal herself until the mirage dragon appears.

"Judging from the coordinates...there it is!"

Mu Mu turned around and led everyone to a sunken area where a huge creature was curled up.

"hiss----"

Upon sensing the sudden arrival of five uninvited guests, each exceptionally powerful, the behemoth retreated hundreds of meters, emitting a threatening growl from its mouth.

Judging from its size, it is a mutant species at the SSS level.

"It's covered in spiral horns, a reptile, like a cockroach, that's it, isn't it?"

"If Sisi's description is correct, then it's this one. Give it a shot!"

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Yan Ziming launched a direct attack, unleashing millions of lightning bolts from the rolling black clouds, with sparks flying and flames soaring into the sky.

The Gu King unfurled a pair of translucent wings from its back, propelling it into flight. Despite its enormous size and delicate wings, it nimbly weaved through the lightning and thunder, attempting to break free quickly.

It finally understood that these five people were there to ambush it, and even if it had five lives, it wouldn't be enough to kill them.

If you can't beat them, of course you have to run away, but can they really escape?

Ye Qianxue and Mu Mu joined forces, and the space seemed to be pulled backward layer by layer as if by a giant. The silver and black colors in mid-air formed a force that stretched the space, greatly reducing its speed. In the end, they actually pulled it to the ground by stretching the space.

The lightning struck its shell, causing bulges due to the high temperature, but it was not a serious problem for the time being; this is a characteristic of the sky beetle.

Its defensive capabilities are top-tier!

But this level was just for show for Yan Zimo.

Shining brightly in the mortal world!

The air was sliced ​​apart layer by layer, and the slicing sound seemed to shatter one's hearing completely as it swept down from a distance of a thousand meters.

Snapped!

The violent explosion stretched forward from the ground where Yan Ziming was located, turning into a scene of hellfire. The ground was scorched and carbonized, and in an instant, it spread to the Gu King's body.

"hiss----!!!"

The Gu King roared in agony, its indestructible carapace actually being sliced ​​in half! The intense heat raging inside its body caused it to emit a howl like a vengeful ghost.

"cut!"

A burst of incredibly fierce lightning, like divine retribution or the cold glint of a blade, struck down, severing the two segments on its right side.

Immediately afterwards, the five elements flowed wildly around it, various strange phenomena appeared, and a terrifying attack followed, sending it flying sideways.
