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

"My Lord, we are nearing the edge of the barrier."

The sound of a torrent echoed in Jiang Mian's mind.

Jiang Mian activated his glasses, and the arrow in his field of vision pointed forward, indicating that he was heading in the right direction.

After all, it is an eighth-order calamity. Having lived in the mist for so long and with an absurdly wide range of perception, finding the __cpLocation of human cities is quite easy for it.

"Are you going back now?"

"No, it's not the right time yet."

She had only been gone a short time, and the vigilance and attention there should still be there.

Moreover, the torrent's body is too large and its target is obvious. If we approach rashly, we are likely to be detected again.

Just to be on the safe side, it's best to wait until Ye Chenyang finishes his business and finds out the situation before making a decision. Then, he can board the ship and switch places with his clone.

"Wait a little longer. After I get back, you can do this..."

After establishing "dominance," communication did indeed become much easier, seemingly without the limitations of distance.

In case of any emergency, you can even directly "call for backup".

However, it will take time for it to get here from the sea, and its identity will be completely exposed.

Jiang Mian would not do this unless absolutely necessary.

To ensure her own safety, she asked Hongliu to first create the maximum number of clones and store them all in her space.

Before leaving, Jiang Mian also left a record point for Hong Liu.

After giving her instructions, she sensed movement on the other end and turned her attention back to it.

……

On the other side, in a sea of ​​flowers.

"It failed?"

Wangchuan played with the black bead in his hand, seemingly nonchalant.

Before him, a blurry figure knelt on the ground, speaking tremblingly:

"...Yes, my lord."

"Hehe, get up."

Wangchuan chuckled lightly. It had only sent a fifth-tier being to test the waters, and it didn't have much hope. It was just good that the enemy hadn't died in vain.

This "eternal day" is quite interesting.

Despite being the last of the five human peaks to awaken, he already possesses fourth-tier strength, and his power is far more outrageous than described in the data.

If we want to continue, even a regular fifth-order weapon won't be enough; we'll need at least a higher-order sequence.

The girl beside him, according to the information, was also a genius, but her awakening time was extremely short.

In comparison, it seems to be a clear weakness, which might be a good entry point.

As the pinnacle of [Nightmare], the existence of Wangchuan is extremely unique.

According to the official definition, it is not human, nor even a calamity.

Although it was only born recently, the souls gathered in the river have given it a wealth of memories, enough for it to understand human emotions very well.

Yongzhou is only eighteen years old this year, still young and full of emotions. Moreover, he seems to value that girl very much and would never abandon her.

A few simple tricks might be enough to lure him in.

Unfortunately, it will take some time to implement this.

Although the various messages coming from Haiphong were not explicitly stated, they undoubtedly conveyed the same message: the "apocalypse" had safely retreated.

Finding each other in the vast deep sea would be extremely difficult.

Forget it, let's focus our main efforts on [Return to the Void] first. As for [Eternal Day]... let's put it aside for now, but we can casually lay a trap for it later.

If the other party can maintain their current promotion rate, then the primary target must be replaced.

The purifying power of [Eternal Day] is exceptionally effective against spiritual entities, posing a considerable threat.

Wangchuan raised his head and focused his "gaze" on the dark figure in front of him.

"My lord?"

"You, go and keep an eye on [Eternal Day] for me."

……

Jiang Mian opened her eyes groggily, sat up straight in her seat, and looked up at Ye Chenyang.

"Ugh~ Brother Ye?"

Ye Chenyang felt a little itchy as he watched this scene, but he quickly calmed down.

This clone perfectly replicated Jiang Mian's appearance, and even he couldn't find any fault with it.

But one thing is very clear: the smell.

It's hard to describe, but the sweet scent he smelled earlier was extremely unique.

Every time I smell it, my heart softens involuntarily.

"Would you like to come inside with me and take a look?"

Jiang Mian adjusted his glasses and shook his head, saying:

"I'd better not trouble Brother Ye any further. I'll just wait on the boat."

"Um."

Ye Chenyang didn't say much, pushed open the cabin door, and planned to go and come back quickly to bring her back as soon as possible.

Jiang Mian looked out the window at his receding figure.

The yacht appeared to have entered a large hangar, surrounded by walls made of a special alloy, with the water below directly connected to the outside sea.

To the side was a metal platform with some equipment and ammunition scattered on it.

Many of these are Calamity Cores, packaged in boxes similar to those Jiang Mian saw at the recycling center in the activity area.

Two Awakened Ones, dressed in standard coastal defense combat uniforms, walked along the passage, chatting as they packed their equipment.

They were unshaven and looked exhausted, but their voices were full of energy.

"Damn it, I can finally get a good night's sleep now."

"That's right, it hasn't stopped for days. The outside is making a huge commotion, and the little fish and shrimp down there are getting involved too."

As the two were chatting, another young team member climbed out from a pile of equipment and joined them.

"Huh? But I heard it'll be a few more days before the holiday starts, right?"

One of them stood up, patted him on the shoulder earnestly, and said:

"You don't know this. There's something urgent going on above, so we don't have much work left. We can just slack off, and we'll be given time off in batches."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, then he suppressed it, clearly having learned something that made him happy.

Inside the cabin, Jiang Mian withdrew his gaze.

The management here is the same as the city defense back then, and the intensity of the tasks is mainly controlled by the squad leader.

The batch of self-destructing calamities I gathered this morning were the only remaining ones in this sea area.

This shows just how intense their workload has been lately.

I'm glad I didn't agree to join back then.

Having been bound by the identity of "Calamity" for so long, Jiang Mian still felt it was better to be free and do whatever she wanted.

She decided to gradually drop her pretense in front of Ye Chenyang, also for this reason.

After a short wait, Ye Chenyang finally returned.

He started the boat and sailed away from the base, while drawing a rough route map for Jiang Mian.

"Should we go all the way back from the north side of the base?"

"Yes. Senior Yang is currently focusing on inspecting the southern half of the barrier, which is the area you left in the first place."

Jiang Mian nodded thoughtfully.

Having an "insider" to help her made things much easier, allowing her to come and go as she pleased, as if it were her own home.

"Then I'll set off first, I'll be there soon."

After saying that, Jiang Mian went offline again.

Ye Chenyang was prepared this time, so he didn't react much.

The yacht moved slowly forward, heading towards the estuary of the activity area.

He didn't deliberately take a detour; in this desolate sea, his unusual trajectory stood out conspicuously.

Time passed second by second. Ye Chenyang timed it precisely. A full half hour had passed when a figure finally appeared at the stern of the boat.

He suddenly stood up and pushed open the door to go out.

Jiang Mian stood steadily at the stern of the boat, without getting a single drop of seawater on him.

She looked at Ye Chenyang, her eyes crinkling into a bright smile, and waved.

"Brother Ye, I'm back!"
