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

A gasp came from the back of the group, and everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, gasping in surprise.

Inside the Yongjing Military Administrative Zone, a plume of smoke rose into the sky, and its location was still shifting, giving the impression of an earthquake.

Amidst the smoke, there were countless roars of beasts, and many enormous figures ran alone beyond the smoke, yet their power was no less formidable. Any obstacle in their path was smashed into, and all the houses in their wake collapsed. Only some tall buildings, tens of meters high, were spared, but even they were teetering on the brink of collapse.

This was clearly an earthquake caused by the movement of hundreds of thousands, even millions, of mutated species within the city!

Several enormous figures exerted an unparalleled pressure on them. One of them seemed to be a giant humanoid figure, about forty or fifty meters tall, like an ancient giant from the early days of creation in mythology. With each step it took, the earth sank and crumbled. No matter how tall the building was, it could not stop its advance and was smashed to pieces.

Some of the more timid superhumans were already scared off before the battle even began; a suspicion was forming in their minds—could this be a tyrant?

Yan Ziming stared at the enormous figure with a solemn expression. Having recently fought the Tyrant, she knew that the humanoid figure was undoubtedly the Tyrant, but at an SS level, making it one of the most powerful mutated species.

It is said to be one of them because there are several other mythical giant figures alongside it. They are all strangely shaped creatures. One of them, a monster with a body resembling a dinosaur or a mutated giant lizard, suddenly emerged from under a pile of rubble. It was even larger than the Tyrant, with a size of about sixty meters, making it one of the best among SS-class creatures.

"Could that be a Sandstone Dragon?!" the crowd exclaimed again.

Sandstone Dragon!

Yan Ziming was also somewhat shocked. It was surprising that a mutated species with the same prestige as the Wrathful One had appeared, and it was even an SS-level being. This was not good news.

The Tyrant is almost invincible among the many mutated species. In the post-apocalyptic world, it left people with the impression of being invincible. One of the eight Sequence classes is the Tyrant. It is a true ancient giant that can cross city walls hundreds of meters high as if they were empty. It has breached several military fortresses in Europe. Later, as the other Sequence classes disappeared, it was nowhere to be found.

Even so, there are still mutated species that can rival the Tyrant, namely the Sandstone Dragon.

Although they do not exist at the sequence level, their combat power is no weaker than that of tyrants of the same level, and their defensive power is exaggerated to an astonishing degree.

"What's the panic! Do you think our planes and cannons are just for show?!" Li Hao roared. He had great confidence in his side's firepower, which, when unleashed at full strength, was enough to cause mountains to crumble and the earth to split.

"What are you panicking about! Right there on the north city wall, there are over a hundred of our Dongfeng ballistic missile launchers and ten neutron warheads. With such powerful firepower, what are you afraid of! Huh? Speak up!"

Li Haoyi's roar echoed in their ears, making the several trembling superhumans feel utterly ashamed.

yes!

What good is a large number of mutated species?

—We have the most advanced weaponry and equipment.

— Possesses the most powerful tactical weapon

—Having a large number of high-level superhumans

What's there to be afraid of?

With such overwhelming firepower, what use are these powerful mutated species?

Even a single neutron bullet would kill someone!

Ye Qianxue grabbed Yan Ziming's hand. The sheer size of the beast horde made her feel dizzy.

Yan Ziming gently pinched her little face and smiled:

"What's wrong? Are you scared before the war even starts?"

"No...it just makes me feel at ease." Ye Qianxue snuggled into Yan Ziming's arms like a spoiled child, claiming it was to replenish her energy!

Actually, she just wanted to act cute.

Yan Ziming had no choice but to give in to her; if this could help her regain her spirits, that would be the best outcome.

Although she was also shocked by the scene before her, it was nothing special. The colossal beast that was entrenched in the distance hadn't even moved yet. Compared to it, a million mutated species were nothing.

"Speaking of which... Tian Tian seems to be in a different unit."

—You idiot, don't die... I already promised to teach you how to use lightning powers, don't let my good intentions go to waste.

Yan Ziming prayed for her in his heart. After all, Tiantian was practically his disciple, and it would be really sad if she died before he could teach her anything.

When their gaze returned to the herd, they had already run beyond the southern city wall. Then, dozens of kilometers away from the eastern city wall, another piercing and unpleasant sound rang out, attracting the mutated species there.

By this time, people could see the enormous size of the mutated species. They hadn't yet spotted the people on the eastern city wall; the dark mass was just chasing after that piercing, unpleasant sound, running around like headless flies.

Yan Shan stood in the command post, looking at the ocean composed of mutated species in the distance, his eyes turning colder than ever before.

In his eyes, a cluster of millions of mutated species was nothing more than lambs to the slaughter. He had commanded battles even larger than this one, and it was that battle that secured his position as marshal. So, a mere million was nothing to him.

Now that they've all huddled together, it's the perfect time to cook them all in one pot.

Yan Shan's retreating figure filled the staff present with confidence and anticipation for victory in this battle, as they had received the Marshal's latest orders.

"Launch neutron bombs and teach them a lesson."

......

At the missile launch site hundreds of kilometers away, the personnel on standby suddenly became busy, because they received the order to launch the neutron warhead. After using satellite to locate the target, three ballistic missiles equipped with special warheads stood upright, their tails spewing out raging flames. The huge thrust propelled the entire missile into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

P.S.: Wishing everyone a smooth and prosperous New Year, and plenty of money! —A New Year's greeting from a humble author.

Chapter 149 Neutron Opening

The soldiers on the eastern city wall looked solemnly at the massive beast tide that was running rampant dozens of kilometers away. It was only a matter of time before they were discovered; it all depended on how quickly their firepower could strike.

The forest ahead had already been ravaged by these beasts. The violent tremors could be felt even by Yan Ziming and her group on the city wall, let alone those below. Several unlucky ones were almost knocked over by the tremors and received a scolding from their superiors.

Suddenly, one of the eagle-like mutant species with relatively good eyesight and an S-rank discovered the densely packed human figures on the city wall. It let out a sharp cry in mid-air, spread its wings, and flew towards the city wall.

Its departure triggered a chain reaction within the beast tide. More and more mutated species began to realize something was wrong, but their eyesight was not good enough to spot the people on the eastern city wall. They could only follow the direction the eagle-shaped mutated species had flown.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!"

Yan Ziming said with a gloomy expression that she saw a mutated species with a wingspan of 20 meters flying towards them, which meant that their position had likely been exposed.

Li Hao calmly issued the order:

"Air defense missile units, prepare. Do not attack without my order."

Everyone was puzzled. The dragons were practically charging right at them, weren't they going to open fire yet?

Li Hao glanced at the horizon every now and then, then suddenly his face lit up with joy, and he said instinctively:

"coming."

These two words attracted the attention of others. They looked up at the sky with Li Haoyi's gaze and saw several small black dots emerging from the dark clouds, trailing fiery red tails as they approached the center of the beast tide at a dazzling speed.

"Close-in weapon systems one through five, open fire. Target the wing of that big bird in the sky. Missile units, stand by."

As soon as Li Hao gave the order to attack, the five close-in weapon systems on the left side of the city wall quickly aimed at the large black bird that was less than four kilometers away from them. A total of fifty-five 30mm gun barrels began to rotate, spitting out tongues of fire that brought tearing and death. The fire hit the wings of the eagle-like mutant species and went straight through, splashing countless lines of blood in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, the wingspan of more than twenty meters was turned into two pieces of rags.

The eagle-like mutant let out a mournful cry. Its wings were so badly damaged that it could no longer fly. When it flapped its wings, there was only a whistling sound as it fell from a height of two kilometers, perpendicular to the ground.

"Hongqi 12, ten shots fired simultaneously."

Li Hao pressed his advantage, unaware that an S-class mutated species wouldn't die so easily from a high-altitude fall. Its wings could still provide lift, so it wouldn't die from the fall; his side would have to finish it off with a few more blows.

As Li Haoyi gave the launch order, a burst of fire appeared on each of the ten anti-aircraft missile vehicles. Ten Hongqi-12 anti-aircraft missiles, trailing flames, slammed into the eagle-shaped mutant species that was falling from mid-air. Terrifying explosions roared inside its body. The missiles that entered from the front caused explosions directly on its back. For a moment, it seemed as if blood was raining down from the sky.

Li Hao coldly watched the blood rain falling from the sky, his heart filled with disdain.

The Hongqi-12 was specially enhanced with piercing capabilities. It fired ten at once. Not to mention S-class, even SS-class mutant species would have to pay a considerable price if hit by all ten.

The eagle-type mutant species was already beyond saving. Having suffered such a severe blow, its vital signs were waning. It plummeted from the sky and crashed to the ground, causing the ground to slightly collapse.

The fact that an S-class mutated species perished in the blink of an eye greatly boosted everyone's morale.

—We only showed a fraction of our firepower and yet we killed an S-class mutated species. If we unleashed our full firepower, wouldn't we be unstoppable?

Yan Ziming grinned as he watched. Based on past battles, it was naturally impossible for it to be so easy. The key to this victory was the close-in weapon system that had just demonstrated its power, which exposed the eagle-type mutant species in less than two seconds. That's why his side was able to kill it so easily.

While Yan Ziming was still marveling at the power of the close-in weapon system, several streaks of light, as if bursting forth from the beginning of time, lit up in the distance. The battlefield fell silent for a moment, and even the drizzling rain falling from the sky seemed to freeze.

Li Hao roared:

"Everyone close your eyes! Don't dawdle, hurry up!"

The others had already guessed what those distant beams of light were, and they obediently closed their eyes. Lin Shuqi, afraid that her younger sister would be unable to resist her curiosity and peek, directly covered the little girl's eyes tightly with her hands.

Those on the city wall only felt their eyelids flicker before Li Haoyi's voice came again:

"Okay."

Everyone quickly opened their eyes, eager to see how much destruction the legendary tactical nuclear weapon could cause. It wasn't that they hadn't seen it before; as superhumans, they had all participated in large-scale battles, including the use of neutron bombs. It was just that they felt they could never get enough of this sight! It was always so thrilling.

“Ahhh—”

A few restless individuals, watching the scene in the distance, couldn't help but whistle—three enormous fireballs rose a hundred meters above the ground, easily engulfing all the mutated species within a thousand meters radius, and condensed into a solid, milky-white shockwave that swept outwards in all directions with extremely violent air currents!

Wherever the blast wave swept, no matter how powerful the mutated species was, including the Sandstone Dragon, they all burst into flames. Their enormous bodies became fuel for the raging fire, and the mutated species flying in the air turned into giant fireballs. Some of the weaker ones were burned to charcoal in seconds. Their dried-up bodies lost all moisture and would be pulverized at the slightest touch. The distorted heat wave obscured their figures.

The mournful howls of the beasts echoed through the sky, which was the best morale booster for the human legion. Everyone's face turned red as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they couldn't wait to rush in and wreak havoc.

After the aftershocks of the neutron bomb explosion dissipated, the hard ground was melted into a swamp by the high temperature of the neutron bomb, and the surrounding area of ​​several thousand meters became a death zone. All the water quickly evaporated into white steam, forming a scorched and dry ground, with a layer of dark green glassy substance flowing on the surface.

"As expected of neutron bombs, even though they are only three thousand tons, the explosive power is still astonishing. They truly deserve to be called the most powerful tactical strike force of mankind." Yan Ziming judged the nuclear yield of these neutron bombs based on his experience in many large-scale battles and commented in a sophisticated manner.

The effect of this round of firepower was barely acceptable. If the mutated species hadn't been aware of it beforehand and scattered some of them, given their density just now, it should have been able to inflict irreversible damage on them.

Strike while the iron is hot. After the command center made an initial assessment of the battle results, two more small black dots tore through the dark clouds and fell fiercely. Some powerful mutated species sensed the danger in advance and ran away, knocking over and injuring many of their own kind.

The remaining mutated species weren't so lucky. The enormous fireball that stained the sky red burst open again, wiping them out almost completely, leaving several empty areas on the battlefield.

The two rounds of nuclear strikes, totaling five neutron bombs, directly wiped out one-eighth of the million-strong mutant species, successfully eliminating many powerful mutant species. The larger the mutant species, the more severe the injuries and the more gruesome the deaths.

No body of the tyrant was found at the scene, indicating that it had avoided the bombardment with its super-fast movement speed before the neutron bombs fell. The Sandstone Dragon, due to its slow movement, was unable to escape safely and was burned by two neutron bombs. However, it survived thanks to its super strong defense. Some mucus made of melted flesh and blood flowed from its surface. Raindrops falling on its body did not reduce its pain but instead made its howls even more miserable.

At its peak, its combat power was no less than that of the "Reaper" that had previously driven the Yongjing Military Administrative Region into retreat, and its defensive capabilities far surpassed it. However, even so, its combat power was far inferior to what it used to be, and it was fortunate that it still had about 50% or 60% of its former strength.
