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

"My older sister is too cunning..."

"Same to you~"

Chapter 147 Self-Introduction

On the way to the eastern city wall, Yan Ziming deliberately walked at the very back, and Yan Shan also secretly circled around to the back. Noticing his uncle's approach, Yan Ziming took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Yan Shan.

"Box?"

—Wasn't she supposed to have a vial of blood drawn? What's with giving her a box?

What surprised Yan Shan even more was that when he opened the box and saw that there was a whisker inside, his eyes widened and he looked at Yan Ziming with an unfriendly expression.

Even if you can't get your hands on Qilin blood, you don't need to try and fob me off with a mere hair, do you?

"The effect of this beard is no less than that of Qilin blood," Yan Ziming quickly explained, and Yan Shan's expression improved a little.

"Where's the Qilin? Didn't I tell you to bring it with you?" Yan Shan looked left and right but couldn't see the Qilin, so he asked Yan Zimo.

Yan Ziming was about to say that the Qilin was on her chest when she suddenly realized that this was a rather inappropriate place to talk about. She blushed slightly and replied:

“It’s on me, Uncle, you don’t need to worry about it.”

Then her chest jerked slightly, but she managed to hide it well.

After receiving Yan Ziming's affirmative answer, Yan Shan silently gazed at her, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her, and finally sighed:

"Come back alive."

Yan Ziming was deeply shaken, her throat tightened, and she wanted to say something but couldn't. With a complicated look in her eyes, she watched her uncle return to the front of the group. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, feeling that she had a thousand words in her heart but couldn't express them. In the end, she chose to remain silent.

"sister..."

Ye Qianxue wrapped Yan Ziming's hand in her small hand, her face full of worry for him.

"I am fine."

Yan Ziming grasped Ye Qianxue's hand in return, his gaze hardening, filled with a soaring fighting spirit.

"Ah."

......

Upon arriving at the eastern city wall, the wall was already covered with a steel forest: 155mm howitzers, mortars, and various large-caliber machine guns. What Yan Ziming found even more insane was that there were also about twenty close-in weapon systems!

"Isn't this firepower a bit too intense?"

The so-called close-in weapon system (CIWS) is a rotary rapid-fire close-range defensive weapon. Taking the CIWS that China deployed on the eastern city wall as an example, each CIWS has 11 barrels, each with a caliber of 30 millimeters! The rate of fire is close to 170 rounds per second, or about 11000 rounds per minute. Even an A-level mutated species would have several limbs severed and some flesh torn off if grazed by its bullets. If hit head-on, it would be turned into a pile of bones in less than 2 seconds.

Compared to it, the 12.7mm heavy machine gun is utterly pathetic!

Even the tyrant that Yan Ziming fought before didn't dare to completely expose itself to the close-in weapon system. If it were focused on for more than ten seconds, it would die no matter how strong its body was.

"This is really... I hope we won't get friendly fire..."

In such a chaotic battlefield, being accidentally shot by friendly fire is not uncommon. If it's just an ordinary rifle, it's not a big problem; Yan Ziming can handle it. But if it's a close-in weapon system... Yan Ziming can only pray that his electromagnetic barrier is strong enough.

"Shuqi, Qianxue, you must double-check the aiming direction of the close-in weapon system later, so you don't get accidentally hit, understand?"

It wasn't enough for her to notice it herself; she also needed to remind Ye Qianxue and the others before she felt at ease.

"Relax, we know how powerful this thing is," Lin Shuqi said nonchalantly.

"Haha~"

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, you're just being overly sensitive," Yan Ziming said, her gaze drifting elsewhere.

"Big sister, where should we go to wait for orders?"

While the other superhumans had already found their teams, these girls were still here, shocked by this and that, moving among the neat rows of people, making them extremely conspicuous.

“Hmm…we’re in the Fourth Column of the Special Operations Forces, over there!” Yan Ziming looked around and found a large sign in the middle of the eastern city wall that read “Fourth Column”.

However, the sign was only erected on that side of the entire city wall, which caused Yan Ziming and her group to be surrounded by people from other columns when they joined the ranks, making the people of the fourth column quite embarrassed. Lin Shuqi even covered her eyes.

How embarrassing!

Ever since they teamed up with Yan Ziming, they've always been the last to arrive, without exception, and they always have to endure everyone's stares, which is incredibly embarrassing.

Yan Ziming, however, showed no remorse whatsoever and went forward to talk to Li Hao.

"Sorry we're late. We really wouldn't have been able to find you if it weren't for this sign."

"It's good that we weren't late, which proves that holding up the sign wasn't a waste of time."

"What will be our column's operational strategy later?"

Yesterday's meeting only discussed the overall operational strategy of the army. The strategy of the column needs to be planned by the captain himself based on the special abilities of the team members. Different special abilities require different action strategies, such as offensive, defensive, decapitation, and surprise attack, and many other types.

Strictly speaking, Yan Ziming's team should be considered a well-rounded unit, capable of both offense and defense. The main reason for this is the presence of Li Haoyi and Yan Ziming. Li Haoyi is an eighth-level ability user who focuses on defense, while Yan Ziming is a seventh-level ability user whose destructive power is no less than that of some eighth-level ability users. This combination is definitely a powerful alliance, and they can advance or retreat as needed when fighting.

"Our primary objective is to rush in and fill any gaps in our firepower when they appear, and our secondary objective is to defend our position." Li Hao glanced at a close-in weapon system not far away. Once the war begins, its firepower will undoubtedly be the most intense, but it will also attract the most hatred, and there will certainly be many mutated species eager to eliminate it.

Close-in weapon systems also run out of ammunition, and the time needed to reload will be something Yan Ziming and her team have to work hard to make, which is a rather challenging task.

"You should talk to the others first and get familiar with their abilities. It will be helpful in the battle later," Li Hao suggested.

The fourth column consisted of twenty-one people. Apart from Li Haoyi, Lin Shuqi, and others, the rest were all unfamiliar faces.

"Now, please introduce yourselves and state your abilities and ranks." Li Hao clapped his hands, looked at Yan Ziming, and gestured for her to start.

Yan Ziming didn't stand on ceremony and stepped forward to introduce herself:

"My name is Yan Ziming. My superpower is lightning. I am a level 7 power user and an offensive type of superpower user."

Her clear and melodious voice was a delight to the dozen or so people who heard it. It was like a gentle spring flowing through their hearts, bringing them indescribable comfort and joy.

In addition, she is a soft, cute, and stunningly beautiful woman with high, firm breasts, flawless, snow-white skin, and a face that could shame the moon and flowers. She is absolutely a captivating and alluring beauty!

What's even more surprising is her terrifying strength, which is completely inconsistent with her appearance. She is a seventh-level lightning ability user, and her destructive power is likely the strongest among their group.

After Yan Ziming finished his introduction, it was Ye Qianxue's turn. People's eyes lit up again because they were surprised to find that Ye Qianxue and Yan Ziming looked exactly alike.

—They're actually twin sisters!

Some restless men were already figuring out how to get closer to Yan Ziming and the others after the battle.

"Hello everyone, my name is Ye Qianxue. My ability is Space Collapse, level six, which barely qualifies me as a control-type ability user... Oh?"

Ye Qianxue's soft and cute voice evoked a stronger protective instinct in people than Yan Ziming's. However, after learning about her strength, the few guys who were itching to make a move gave up the idea.

Sixth order...

This guy is stronger than them all, and he could easily rank in the top five in this team. Why would he need their protection? It's more like the other way around!

"Neither of these sisters is simple-minded!" everyone thought to themselves.

Next up were Lin Shuqi and her group. When Lin Shuqi mentioned that her special ability could amplify multiple targets, even Li Haoyi was taken aback.

—How could the country have failed to discover such a promising talent? What a mistake!

Li Haoyi was already planning in his mind how to recruit them into the army.

After they finished their introductions, it was the turn of the other unfamiliar faces. One by one, they came out and introduced themselves loudly. In particular, the voices of several male superpowered individuals were the loudest, as if they were afraid that others would not know. However, their eyes unconsciously drifted towards Yan Ziming and her group.

However, Yan Ziming didn't care at all, and those animals really made a fool of themselves.

After listening to their self-introductions, Yan Ziming found that the overall strength of the Fourth Column was quite good, with six members at the fifth rank, three at the sixth rank, and one at the seventh rank, making it a rather luxurious lineup.

Chapter 148 Beast Tide

Besides Yan Ziming, the other seventh-tier character is a man who appears to be around forty years old. His special ability is Mind Blast, a mental ability that can cause enemies to be stunned over a wide area, or even kill them.

"This is truly a rare ability..." Yan Ziming was somewhat surprised. This kind of ability would be highly sought after in any team, and if used well, it could change the course of a small battle.

After everyone in his unit had finished introducing themselves, Li Hao gave a final summary:

"You should all know my identity and abilities, so I won't go into too much detail. In the battle later, you must help each other and not turn against each other over some petty gains. If I find out that, I'll throw you into the beast horde. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Alright, everyone stay put."

After Li Hao finished speaking, he took out his radio and reported the situation to the command post. The leaders of the other teams were doing the same thing. The entire eastern city wall was quiet. Tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers were on high alert. Because the typhoon clouds covered the sky, there was not a ray of sunshine in the early morning. The whole sky was gray and drizzling. It looked like dark clouds were pressing down on the city and threatening to crush it, as if foreshadowing how fierce the upcoming battle would be.

None of the superhumans present liked rainy days, because getting soaked was really unpleasant.

Before long, they all received the same reply:

—Battle begins!

At the same time, more than ten kilometers outside the southern city wall, a harsh and piercing sound rang out, then disappeared. This did not mean that it had disappeared, but rather that Yan Ziming and the others could no longer hear the sound at that frequency.

After waiting for a while, the ground began to tremble irregularly. At first, it wasn't very noticeable, but later even the pebbles on the ground started to bounce, and the rainwater that had accumulated on the ground jumped high. Only then did everyone realize that it wasn't an illusion, but that the ground was really shaking.

--earthquake?

This was their first thought, because the shaking felt just like an earthquake.

"Look!"

"hiss--"
