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

Am I really going to go further and further down the path of gender-bending?

How could this be repaired?!

Yan Ziming covered her face, unwilling to accept this fact.

"Ha..." Every day I see Yan Ziming suddenly kneeling on the ground after showing off, and I don't even want to complain anymore.

Couldn't you just maintain that heroic posture from the start? This is really morally reprehensible!

Fuck!

Chapter 158 The Chaotic Battlefield

Every day, Tian Tian tried to use the method of condensing lightning that Yan Ziming taught her to transmit the lightning to a single point. Yan Ziming taught her step by step throughout the process, and Tian Tian mastered the basics in no time.

"Oh—oh oh oh!" Tian Tian shouted excitedly as she looked at the incandescent ball of light that had condensed between her fingers.

Yan Ziming nodded reluctantly. The ball of light that Tian Tian condensed was very unstable and dissipated after only a few seconds, which disappointed her for a while.

"Hmm, there's no rush to learn it right away. There's plenty of time to learn later. The priority is to survive the day before yesterday, understand?"

Yan Ziming had already kept the surrounding mutated species firmly at bay for dozens of meters. Occasionally, he would let a few mutated species of decent strength in for Tiantian to test her skills. Soon, the commotion here was noticed by the people on the city wall.

"Quickly mobilize firepower and suppress that area!"

The commander in charge of that area quickly seized the opportunity, leading an armored brigade to drive away the mutated species there, and with Yan Ziming's help, they swiftly recaptured the stronghold.

However, that was not enough. Before the stronghold was fully established, two returning fighter jets dropped napalm bombs, turning the area into a sea of ​​fire.

The viscous incendiary agent clung firmly to the mutated species it hit. The rain falling from the sky actually amplified the power of the petrol bomb. No matter how much the creatures rolled and struggled, it was useless. After a few moments, they burned into black lumps, emitting a burnt plastic smell.

Using the restricted area created by the fire, the stronghold was quickly captured by the military, and Yan Ziming had to go elsewhere to provide support.

"You've completely misused lightning. Change all your old fighting styles. Don't chase after flashy but impractical moves; they waste energy and won't kill the enemy," Yan Ziming instructed Tiantian. After teaching her some battlefield survival skills, he transformed into a blue phantom and disappeared from the spot.

The captain of the 7th Column walked over and asked:

"Tian Tian, ​​do you know that person? She's really amazing... She took over the stronghold that we couldn't capture for so long so easily."

"Yes, I know him... I'd say he's my teacher."

"Go back and rest for a bit. We'll take care of things here for now. Just make sure you don't fall behind again!" The captain of the 7th Column said sternly.

He was terrified when he didn't see Tian Tian during the retreat, thinking she had died at the hands of the mutated creatures. It turned out she had just fallen behind!

When others mentioned this, Tian Tian's face turned red, a rare occurrence, and she covered her face as she returned to the top of the city wall.

......

"Hey sis, could you give my Italian cannon's shells a buff?"

"I told you not to call me 'little sister,' I have a name, okay?!"

Lin Shuqi said with dissatisfaction, and waved her hand to give the shell of the 155mm self-propelled howitzer a sharpening buff. The deadly shells that were spat out instantly covered all the mutated species within a hundred-meter range. The scattered shrapnel tore through the mutated species' powerful bodies like paper, and there were bloodstains and severed limbs everywhere.

This was not only due to the boost from her sharpening, but also the assistance of the little loli Lin Shuyao's special ability, which reduced the defense of the mutated species in that area by 30%, resulting in such a huge victory.

"Actually, I think you should go to the strategic missile formation, little girl. If you could give a Dongfeng missile a buff, my goodness... you can imagine the power."

A sixth-tier ability user wielding the Jinghong Sword said that his main responsibility was to protect the little girl. He would only attack when some powerful mutated species got close to him. With the Jinghong Sword combined with his physical enhancement ability and Lin Shuqi's buff, he could easily tear through the flesh of mutated species that even cannonballs couldn't penetrate.

Lin Shuqi just smiled:

"I'd like to, but we're already here, can we really go back?"

Looking at the new batch of mutated species that had emerged, he smiled wryly:

"I don't think we can..."

Suddenly his pupils contracted sharply as he saw the ground a dozen meters in front of him twisting irregularly, and then a giant worm, twenty or thirty meters long, leaped out from below!

The worm opened its gaping maw towards them, its mouth filled with countless sharp teeth and hanging with unchewed severed limbs. Presumably, this beast had already ambushed and devoured quite a few people.

"Damn it, it's an S-class mutated species!"

The sixth-tier expert's expression changed drastically. The heavy main battle tank behind him suddenly fired a shot at its mouth. The worm reacted quickly, spitting out a handful of dark green acid from its mouth, which drenched the armor-piercing projectile. Before it even entered its mouth, the acid corroded through the outer shell and detonated the explosive.

The remaining acid was poured directly onto the main battle tank. The solid steel body emitted a large amount of thick smoke, and hot bubbles rose on the surface. The acid visibly shrank in size and eventually corroded away the entire frontal armor!

That's a Type 99 heavy tank!

The frontal armor was 700mm thick, yet it was completely destroyed by a single sip of acid!

Fortunately, the people inside the vehicle evacuated in time, preventing them from being turned into part of the molten iron on the ground by the acid.

"You all retreat first, I'll hold this guy off for now!"

The sixth-tier ability user stepped forward, wielding the Jinghong Sword. His ability was physical enhancement, and with a physique comparable to an A-level mutated species, he had held out here for nearly half an hour. His strength was considered extremely formidable among his peers, but it was still no match for an S-level mutated species.

The Jinghong Sword only managed to make a small cut on the body before the acid corroded the blade, rendering it completely useless.

In just one glance, he was flung into the sky by the giant worm's tail, where he was met by the worm's gaping maw that kept wriggling. The sight terrified him so much that he wet himself.

"Mom, I'd rather be crushed to death by a 500-pound fat woman than be swallowed by this disgusting creature!"

sizzle-

A rift tore open in space, from which two shimmering purple spheres were thrown out. They landed in the worm's mouth before he could reach them, accompanied by two earth-shattering explosions. The worm's body swelled into a large sphere, its surface bursting open and leaking disgusting yellow oil. Then, it spat out a pillar of fire that shot into the sky!

Ye Qianxue then burst out of the crack, grabbed the sixth-level ability user who was slumped on the ground, and came to the front of the position.

"They're still alive... I should have known better than to be stingy and just threw in all five!" Ye Qianxue was indignant and regretted her stingy behavior.

"Qianxue, you've finally arrived... Hmm? Where's your sister?" Lin Shuqi happily grabbed Ye Qianxue's hand. Her arrival meant that Yan Ziming was also there, and this damned big bug would finally be dealt with.

However, after waiting for quite a while without seeing Yan Zimo, she couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Hmph! Don't mention that big idiot!" Ye Qianxue pouted, still sulking with Yan Zimo.

Lin Shuqi instantly realized that they had probably had a fight, or rather, it was just Ye Qianxue being stubborn on her own.

What should we do now?

"Can't we just use close-in weapon systems to suppress them?" Ye Qianxue looked at the close-in weapon systems on the city wall that were spitting fire and turning countless mutated creatures into sieves.

"No, according to reports from other attacked squads, it burrows underground as soon as the close-in weapon system is pointed at it, and then emerges from under the city wall. It has already successfully destroyed two close-in weapon systems."

Chapter 159 The Chaotic Battlefield (Part Two)

The commander in charge explained the situation, but unfortunately, the Fourth Column's top combat forces were all providing support elsewhere at the moment; otherwise, why would they be bothered by a single S-class worm?

"It's attacking—be careful!"

A large amount of dark green acid mixed with the rainwater. Ye Qianxue quickly collapsed her space to swallow all the acid, then pulled Lin Shuqi and the guy who had wet himself in fear to retreat quickly. This was not an opponent they could defeat on their own, so it was best to retreat first.

However, after retreating several hundred meters, Ye Qianxue suddenly realized that they could not retreat any further. If they continued to retreat, it would be a foregone conclusion that this position would be lost, and if they went any further, they would be able to threaten the close-in weapon system!

One of the main tasks of the Fourth Column was to hold the close-in weapon system, so they could only try their best to deal with this worm and hold out until their own advanced combat forces arrived.

"Tch, just a mere insect..."

"Stop just talking nice words—think of a way!" Lin Shuqi pulled the little girl back to a safe distance. The two of them didn't have much fighting power, so staying in the back and not hindering the combat personnel was the right thing to do.

The giant worm was also discovered at other positions, but there was nothing that could be done about it. The creature moved underground, and the military's prized artillery fire had no chance of even harming it.

"Space freezes."

The worm froze, and the space shattered under the strain. The next second, it broke apart, and the worm twisted its enormous body, preparing to burrow underground to launch a sneak attack.

Having bought enough time, Ye Qianxue formed hand seals and unleashed her ultimate move. A silver rune pierced through space and imprinted itself on the worm before it burrowed underground. Sensing something was wrong, the worm frantically twisted its body, trying to grind off the rune, but this was clearly impossible unless it was willing to sever that part of its body itself.

"Space collapse—"

The space around the silver rune, along with the worm's flesh and blood, began to twist irregularly and collapse on a large scale. It was as if the silver rune had opened a black hole in its body, devouring the worm's flesh and blood inch by inch.

The worm hissed loudly and suddenly spat out a large ladle of acid onto the flesh, dissolving that part of its body into pus. Only then did it break free from the runes' grip and quickly turn its head to burrow into the ground.

The silver runes remained dazzlingly bright in the acid, but they lost their target. After twisting in place for a while, they collapsed into a small black dot. Ye Qianxue picked up the Crimson Flame Gun, which contained an A-grade crystal core, and fired two shots. One of the shots hit the black dot and disappeared mysteriously.

All of this took only two seconds. During this time, the small dot began to shake violently, and the surrounding space could not withstand the pressure and collapsed directly. The black dot finally exploded with a boom, shattering the worm's tail, which had not yet completely burrowed into the ground, leaving a huge crater more than ten meters deep in its place.

"It got away!" Ye Qianxue stomped her foot in frustration. She had hoped to kill the S-rank worm on her own, so that her older sister wouldn't keep mocking her for still being a sixth-rank worm.

Watch out behind you—

Several soldiers shouted to remind Ye Qianxue, but the artillery fire on the battlefield was so loud that Ye Qianxue only heard a few scattered words.

"Little...what happened next?"

Ye Qianxue turned around and saw a bulge rising from the ground, arriving at her feet at a speed exceeding that of a train. She quickly tore open a spatial rift and jumped in. The next second, the ground violently rose up, and the entire spatial rift was swallowed by the worm's bloody maw.

Then it paid a bloody price for its actions.

"Wow..."

Lin Shuqi saw one side of the worm's body suddenly split open, almost slicing its twenty-meter-long body in half. All sorts of disgusting organs and weapons flowed out from inside, and the stench was many times worse than that of a can of herring.

Ye Qianxue made a peace sign to indicate her victory. In fact, she didn't know that it would be such a coincidence that the worm would run into the spatial rift on its own.

This is an indestructible spatial force!

The spatial rift can be seen as a spatial blade unleashed by Mu Mu in his battle with the Rock Python, possessing an indestructible cutting force against all objects. However, the former is immovable, while the latter can be wielded freely at the user's will.

With her current strength, Ye Qianxue cannot toss things around like Mu Mu. Tearing open a crack is already the limit she can achieve. After all, her ability is spatial collapse, not spatial tearing, which is different from Mu Mu's focus. However, some of the applications are similar. As long as she understands her ability well enough, she can definitely do what Mu Mu did.
