Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Late at night, on the outer sea defense line, at the maritime command center.

Inside an office, the lights were still bright.

Li Jun sat at his desk, flipping through the action logs of various coastal garrison squads.

"No unusual activity?"

He couldn't help but rub his temples.

At Li Jun's level, his mental strength is already quite powerful, so simple fatigue doesn't have a significant impact on his body.

But since the appearance of the [Overthrowing Torrent], he has never closed his eyes, and with various tasks to arrange, mental exhaustion is inevitable.

Knowing that there was a time bomb called "Doomsday" in the city, Li Jun secretly ordered the coastline to strengthen its defenses and also arranged for many elite garrison squads to be stationed in plainclothes.

Even if the black dragon's perception range is wide, it cannot extend to the water surface, that is, the coastline and the inner city of Base City 7.

Therefore, it mainly held back all the high-level combat forces in Base City 7.

Yesterday, Lin Guan submitted a report, briefly outlining the strange events he had encountered.

"A young man, of average appearance, but with exceptional physical abilities..."

What followed was Qin Xiao's ordeal.

Li Jun frowned as he recalled the details of the report.

The other party is clearly not the real person, so the appearance category can be directly excluded as it has no reference value.

In terms of his modus operandi, aside from his temporary teammates who provoked him, resulting in one death and three injuries,

He deliberately withdrew his attacks from the coastal defense team and Qin Xiao.

Do you not want things to escalate to a point of no return?

It seems the other party is maintaining a good level of rationality, much higher than most ordinary patients, and still has a certain moral bottom line, so we should be able to negotiate.

But this isn't something he can decide.

The attitude above is indeed somewhat strange.

The usual voices advocating for strong measures seem to have fallen silent, and the remaining people are not very clear in their attitude, only instructing that "the other party's identity should be ascertained as possible."

Perhaps they are concerned about the City of Base 7 itself?

After all, it is the eastern front line facing the ocean, while the other three directions of the core circle have outer buffer zones.

If Base City No. 7 is suddenly submerged, several other core cities in the surrounding area will inevitably be affected.

This is only under the condition of the "world-shattering torrent".

If another behemoth were to join the battle, the impact would likely escalate exponentially.

Earthquakes, collapses, tsunamis... this combination of events is enough to turn multiple core cities into a vast ocean.

Based on strength, the [Chaos] calamity is not a significant threat; the main challenge lies with the [King of Cysts] in the Void Realm.

Most of the high-level [Chaos] calamities choose to remain within their vesicles, with only a few randomly descending into reality.

The three factions, namely 【Silence】, 【Nightmare】, and 【Slaughter】, have their high-level beings occupying the northern, southern, and western regions respectively, and are the main targets of humanity's long-term struggle.

As for natural disasters, low-level ones are not much of a threat; most of them can't even get them ashore.

The main reason is that the giant beasts near the top of the pyramid are so powerful that the gap between them and the lower levels is the greatest.

Putting aside other calamities, Li Jun, in his position, focused solely on the "apocalypse" of the city behind him.

Whether it will succeed is one thing, but we certainly can't do nothing.

According to Qin Xiao's description, the other party had successfully thrown something into the sea, but the effect was unknown.

Judging from the current situation, the "doomsday" scenario is proceeding cautiously and is unlikely to waste time on useless tasks.

Moreover, even the [Overthrowing Torrent] rushed into the activity area at that time, probably to guide it.

This is enough to prove the importance of that thing; it must have some unknown special function.

Imagine if that thing were a communication tool; if humanity took any extreme actions against the "apocalypse," the "world-ending torrent" would launch a simultaneous counterattack.

If that's the case, then any action we take will be severely restricted.

Is the only option to continue strengthening the defense of the coastline?

This seems to be the safest method at present.

Li Jun thought about it and realized that even a "doomsday" world transformed from humans couldn't escape the behavior of "eating".

There are only two kinds of "food": awakened humans and the core of calamity.

For the "Doomsday" hiding among the crowd, a portable Calamity Core is definitely the first choice, while also needing to regularly obtain inhibitors to stabilize their mental state.

With limited clues, Li Jun could only speculate in this way.

However, one question remains: after the young man defeated the four, he took away a lot of the Calamity Cores, but after entering the sea, he mysteriously disappeared.

How can this be explained?

Before he could investigate further, the special communication device next to him rang.

"Feed? I'm Li Jun."

When Li Jun answered the call and heard the report from the other end, his expression changed.

He immediately stood up, a flash of fire on his body, and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, it appeared on the deck.

Li Jun looked towards the boundary of the mist not far to the east.

At some point, a rather large black island appeared there.

His lips twitched involuntarily.

Why did I start overthinking things? Now look what's happened, trouble is brewing.

……

In her hotel room, Jiang Mian lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She sat up, gazing at the deep night outside the window, and murmured:

"Strange, am I too excited today?"

Actually, it was the same last night.

By giving himself that mark, Ye Chenyang had already expressed his feelings.

The hand-holding in the morning was a further test.

Jiang Mian knew that with both sides responding, progress might be faster than expected.

At this rate, Ye Chenyang may already be planning his next move.

Knowing this, she didn't resist it; instead, she was somewhat looking forward to what he would do.

To be honest, Jiang Mian no longer cares about gender identity at this point. Instead of getting caught up in these superficial things, she prefers to live in the present.

She didn't want to get involved in matters between calamities and humanity, but if Ye Chenyang was involved, she would consider the situation.

Jiang Mian has never had any great ambitions.

But as the "Doomsday," with "dominance" in hand and a group of "little animals" scrambling to become her underlings, she is destined to be anything but ordinary.

To some extent, her decision is enough to influence the future.

Jiang Mian didn't want to think about that for the time being.

Ultimately, only when one is strong enough can one truly feel at ease.

You need to reach at least the sixth rank first, right?

She leaned against the headboard and suddenly had a thought, focusing her consciousness on the core she had just given to Ye Chenyang.

"Huh? Still not asleep?"

The core seemed to be placed on the bedside table, so that Ye Chenyang's actions could be clearly "seen".

In the picture, he is sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a pair of glasses in his hand. The glasses are the same shape as the ones she usually wears, except that the frames are now thin gold frames.

It looked like it was already quite finished, but he was clearly still focused on carving something, as if he was doing the final finishing touches.

Perhaps it's the minor feature he mentioned?

Ye Chenyang suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned around as if he had noticed something, picked up the core from the bedside table, and even examined it for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Mian quickly withdrew his consciousness.

The core sensory sharing is not considered perception, but for it to be noticed, his intuition is far too sharp.

Not long after we retrieved it, there seemed to be movement on the seabed again.

She closed her eyes and glanced in that direction.

"Huh? You found it?"
