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

"Aim all the electromagnetic cannons at those beetles! Even if you don't kill them, blast them to smithereens!"

The commander's eyes were bloodshot as he thought that he should try to clean up as much of the poisonous explosives on the Sky Beetles as possible to minimize the damage to the city walls.

In an instant, all the heavy firepower from the city wall fell on them, and ballistic missiles were fired like they were free. The lightning field set up by Yan Ziming was also constantly helping these beetles molt.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

In the end, about a dozen Sky Beetles broke through the barrage of fire. With a deafening roar, several huge breaches appeared in the four walls of Panzhihua City, reaching all the way into the city. The walls were blown apart by the continuous onslaught of suicide trucks.

......

Huahai City, Southern Guangdong Military Administrative Region.

"Damn it, the insect beasts are restless, and these guys are restless too!"

Qin Tianhai cursed angrily. In the images transmitted back by the scouts, large numbers of mutated species were beginning to land on the coast. Now, Guangdong was facing a test of being attacked from both land and sea! The advantage of being near the sea had suddenly turned into a fatal disadvantage!

"This won't do, we can't hold on like this! This Gu King is really going all in!"

Qin Tianhai felt immense pressure.

The Gu King was going all in, and so were they; neither wanted to give up this only chance to annihilate the Gu King.

However, the insect beasts' offensive was too fierce, and now they had no choice but to give up. Qin Tianhai made a phone call: "Hey, hurry back a few people, we can't hold on anymore!"

"...Alright, I've already had Mu Mu send Mo Sheng back to Sichuan. There's still a chance to salvage Panzhihua City."

A helpless sigh came from Huang Tao's end. They were forced to withdraw a portion of their forces.

Only Li Haoyi, Murong Haiyi, Ye Qianxue, and Mo Xin will remain in the Beian Military Administrative Region; everyone else will return.

With the plan progressing to this point, the Gu King has achieved a partial victory, and his strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" has been very successful.

......

Yan Ziming arrived at the scene within five minutes of the breach appearing in the Panzhihua city wall.

Fortunately, the soldiers held firm at these gaps during this time, preventing many insects and beasts from sneaking in. Yan Ziming was able to arrive in time to cut off the flow of insects and beasts that were about to rush into the gaps in the city wall, and temporarily control the situation.

"I'm coming!"

A five-colored meteorite fell from the sky, transforming into a gigantic, ferocious beast over a hundred meters tall before hitting the ground. Its terrifying aura suppressed any insect-like creatures that approached it, causing them to crackle and pop.

"Ozawa!"

Yan Ziming's face lit up with joy; she could finally relax for a while. But when she saw Mu Mu and Mo Sheng, her joy was immediately overshadowed by disappointment.

The fact that three ninth-level experts returned at once indicates that the encirclement and suppression of Bei'an has either become a success or has already failed.

"Little Momo, how is it?"

"Well...you guys go and support Qingshui City first. Don't worry about Shu City. Send one person from Xiyue City as well."

"it is good."

Mu Mu took Mo Sheng to Qingshui City, a remote area, where the population was nearing its limit.

After they left, Yan Ziming looked at Xiao Ze: "...Xiao Ze, how did the operation go?"

All I got in return was a silent shake of the head.

"Is that so... Well, I knew it wouldn't be that simple..."

Yan Ziming lowered his eyes slightly in disappointment.

At this moment, Mu Mu returned, hurriedly emerging from the spatial rift and grabbing Yan Ziming: "Oh right, right, a day ago, Bai He asked me to give you a message."

She said: "You must be in her office before 4 a.m.!"

......

"Well... so far, it's still within the plan..."

Lying in her hospital bed, Bai He raised her trembling hand and pulled back the curtains, her intelligent eyes filled with an air of complete control.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely come.

Bai He's gaze drifted to Ina, who was still unconscious in her hospital bed.

She saw it, she saw that the Gu King would definitely come here. For this reason, she did not hesitate to let Liu Mengxian leave Beian City, leaving only a backup plan to protect herself.

Will it succeed?

As a result, she couldn't see anything, and she couldn't see anything clearly after that.

Bai He gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Going all in... Ha, that's really not my style..."

"Let me see... whose all-or-nothing gamble will win..."

36. Let's play a game.

"What's going on! The city's under lockdown isn't enough, we're not even allowed to leave our homes?" "We have the right to know why." "I just got off work and was about to go home for dinner. I don't care, I'm going home right now. Go ahead and try to stop me, but I can't guarantee the online opinion won't be one-sided." "You have no right to treat us like this!"

After confirming that the Gu King was most likely in Sheng'an City, the military began to take action, raising the lockdown to the highest level, to the point where people were "unable to leave their homes."

This sparked another round of discontent among ordinary people. Fortunately, it was past midnight, and there weren't many people still lingering outside; at most, it was just some people who hadn't finished get off work yet complaining.

Sheng'an City Command Post.

With Huang Tao and his group gone, only two or three ninth-tier combatants remained in Sheng'an City.

Li Hao felt his brows were about to be squeezed into a solid shape. In the vast city of Sheng'an, there was only him, Murong Haiyi, Ye Qianxue, and Andrei.

Four ninth-rank soldiers should be enough, but considering that this was in the city, he still wanted to minimize casualties.

Fortunately, Liu Mengxian is here.

The key issue is still insufficient combat power. It's not that Sheng'an City lacks combat power, but rather that the overall combat power is insufficient.

The Beian Military Administrative Region comprises four cities: Beian City, Sheng'an City, Yong'an City, and Chang'an City. Currently, only Beian and Sheng'an are temporarily safe. However, Beian will soon face a counterattack from the insect beasts. After all, these insect beasts are fearless and are merely a group of machines that obey the Gu King's orders. Liu Mengxian can repel them, but she cannot scare them away.

Yong'an City and Chang'an City are still locked in fierce battle and can barely hold on for a while longer. Liu Mengxian will not leave after arriving in Sheng'an City to prevent the Gu King from taking this opportunity to escape. Therefore, Li Haoyi and the others will have to leave sooner or later.

However, what worried Li Hao the most was not this, but rather—he was not entirely certain that Liu Dian was the Gu King.

Drip drip ...

Two numbers received a call from the mayor of Sheng'an City. After answering, he frowned.

"You have no idea what level the enemy is at, so don't get involved. You're not even high enough level!"

"What's the point of telling the general public the specific reasons for the lockdown? Wouldn't telling them just cause panic and increase our workload? In short, just follow the normal procedures."

Li Hao hung up the phone, annoyed.

"Alright, since we're already here, let's make the best of it. We've been here for over ten minutes. If we really fell for the Gu King's trick of luring us away from the mountain, he would have left long ago. There's no point in thinking about it anymore."

Ye Qianxue said casually, and judging from her appearance, she didn't seem nervous at all.

"If only I could have half as much of your leisure time," Li Hao said with a wry smile.

"Hmph~ With Xian'er here, I'm not nervous at all!"

Ye Qianxue stood with her hands on her hips, beaming with pride. She had real confidence in Liu Mengxian; no one in the world could stir up trouble under the might of Hun Tian.

“But even the Soul Heaven can’t avoid the inevitable casualties, right?” Li Hao asked.

"Well... Qianxue can't worry about that. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Let's save one if we can."

Ye Qianxue shrugged. It was impossible to kill the Gu King without suffering any casualties; such an absurd thing wouldn't even happen in a dream.

Either you bleed a little now, scrape off some flesh to remove the tumor, or you'll be killed by this tumor in the future.

"But...the one you placed your hopes on seems to be making some unusual moves?"

"Eh?"

Ye Qianxue turned her head and saw that Liu Mengxian's aura seemed to have suddenly become much stronger, and the light in her eyes was like two cold lightning bolts tearing through the night sky.

She hesitated for a moment, then Ye Qianxue leaned closer and asked, "Xian'er, what happened?"

"The Mirage Dragon is breaking through to the Soul Heaven realm," Liu Mengxian said, her gaze deep as she stared into the distance.

"Huh? A mirage dragon?"

Ye Qianxue's body trembled, her pupils became slightly unfocused, and she felt a slight chill all over.

The fear of being nearly killed by the mirage dragon once coursed through her body. That fear of being on the verge of death and about to be separated from her family and friends seemed to be ingrained in her bones, and she still finds it hard to forget.

"Xue'er." Liu Mengxian cupped Ye Qianxue's face in her hands, pulling her out of her reverie, and asked gently yet firmly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Huh?" Ye Qianxue was still a little dizzy and hummed in confusion.

"Between the Gu King and the Mirage Dragon, which one do you want me to deal with?" Liu Mengxian asked again patiently.

Although it was Ye Qianxue's choice, Liu Mengxian's attitude was undoubtedly biased towards dealing with the Mirage Dragon.

No matter who it is, they should not be let off easily for hurting her family.

"Ah, this...this, no, didn't we previously deduce that the Mirage Dragon and the Gu King had a cooperative relationship? Now that the Mirage Dragon is making a move, it looks like a diversionary tactic!"

Although Ye Qianxue was still confused, she wasn't stupid and continued to analyze the situation.

“No, he’s serious.” Liu Mengxian’s gaze grew even deeper.
