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

"Boom!"

The storm was quickly imbued with lightning, transforming into a raging thunderstorm.

"Stop standing there, charge with me!"

Huo Tianxiong picked up his gun and took the lead, attempting to forcefully break through the encirclement with the others.

However, the more they struggled, the more active the surrounding lightning element became.

With a resounding dragon's roar, a giant net woven from heavenly lightning enveloped everyone, transforming into a dazzling hell of thunder.

……

A moment later, the thunderstorm gradually subsided, and the churning fog returned to calm.

"My Lord~ I'm going back!"

"Um."

Jiang Ling gave a brief report, greeted Jiang Mian, and then returned to the [World].

She hasn't been reborn for very long, but she's already at the peak of the sixth rank.

After all, Jiangling is essentially still a seventh-tier vessel, just like a container whose size remains the same, only the water inside has been poured out.

Once the "water" has accumulated to a certain level, returning to the seventh level will be easy and effortless.

For her, the "world" is not only a home but also has an "accelerator" effect.

This is somewhat similar to Ye Chenyang now.

"Phew~ After going through such a long and winding road, it's finally over."

Jiang Mian withdrew the Golden Crow, stretched, and snuggled into Ye Chenyang's arms, not wanting to move.

Because she was already "full," she did not choose to burn the bodies of the deceased.

After all, one of them is an undercover agent of [Chaos], and may be "contaminated". Who knows what kind of result it will produce?

"That thing really stank! I should have known better than to light it."

She pouted, complaining as she buried her face in Ye Chenyang's chest.

"Brother Ye, give me a hug~"

"Yes, Mianmian, you've had a hard day."

Ye Chenyang reached out and embraced Jiang Mian, then lowered his head to kiss her forehead, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

She had a similar nauseating reaction when she devoured a seventh-tier [trapped beast] before.

That [corruption]... probably "tastes" even worse.

Thinking of this, he gently patted Jiang Mian on the back.

A soft golden halo seeped from her palm, seeping through her clothes and slowly penetrating her core.

"Mmm, it's warm and cozy, so comfortable."

Jiang Mian narrowed her eyes, feeling that the operation of her core had become much easier, and couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

The purification skill of 【Eternal Day】 is indeed very useful.

Unfortunately, she allocated all the points to attack power from the [Eternal Day] ability. She does have purification, but it can only be passively triggered when her life is in danger.

"Mianmian, do you know who that acquaintance Xiaoling mentioned is?"

Ye Chenyang whispered in Jiang Mian's ear.

His mental probing releases a [Radiance] power, which is too obvious, so he generally doesn't use it recklessly.

"Of course! But it's a secret for now."

Jiang Mian tilted her head back, a sly smile curving her lips.

"Judging from their route, they're heading straight for Base City 187. Should we go back and prepare, and give them a warm welcome?"

"it is good."

Ye Chenyang knew Jiang Mian was acting, and nodded helplessly.

Oh well, as long as she's happy.

"Should we put the cleanup plan on hold for now?"

"uh-huh."

Jiang Mian circled around and hung on Ye Chenyang's back.

"I've also expended a lot of energy. To be on the safe side, let me recover first."

That [Champion] is clearly a speed-type ability, yet he has a bizarre skill called [Bloodstained Lone Wolf].

Once triggered, it not only grants immunity to abnormal statuses but also temporarily locks your health.

However, there are prerequisites for triggering this:

Within its own territory, all units identified as "teammates" are killed within ten minutes.

The "teammates" must be at or above the user's level, and there must be at least two of them. The more teammates there are, the longer the invincibility period will be.

Putting aside the stringent prerequisites, once this skill is triggered, it is absolutely a divine skill that can turn defeat into victory.

Unfortunately, his opponent was Hong Liu.

"it is good."

Ye Chenyang agreed softly.

Because the battle dragged on, the casualties were much higher than before, and Jiang Mian used up four clones this time.

Huo Tianxiong alone occupies two of them.

As for Shura, he most likely ran to the north of the city to meet up with Yun Ling and the others.

Next, the Fallen Ones will likely take direct action against Base City 187, forcefully infecting the remaining Tier 7 members in an attempt to eliminate the problem once and for all.

It's definitely time to go back to the city and observe the situation.

"Okay, hold on tight."

Ye Chenyang smiled and lifted his hands behind him—

"Hey, stop pinching me!"

Jiang Mian blushed and couldn't help but hug him tighter, her voice inexplicably becoming softer.

Ye Chenyang's breath hitched.

The soft touch behind him, mixed with the suffocating feeling of his chest about to burst, almost made him fall from the air.

"Cough cough, Mianmian, relax, relax a little."

"Hmph! Idiot!"

……

"The wind seems to have stopped?"

In a rift valley south of Base City 187, a figure clad in light power armor is emerging from the ground.

She took off her helmet, revealing a cute baby face, and sighed softly as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"call--"

This helmet is uncomfortable to wear; if it weren't for its ability to protect one's spirit during the misty tides, no one would typically wear it.

The girl's name was Lin Qianwen, and she belonged to the 7th Squad of the 2nd Company of the "Spark" battle group.

Because they are an assault squad with a special role, their equipment is very different from other squads, such as this power armor.

This time, they went to Base City 187 mainly to escort a batch of glorious monuments.

The dead zone created by the Withering was officially called the "Dead Line," and it has now been completely closed, isolating this area from the urban belt.

Next, he will probably tighten the encirclement.

Because his power would increase rapidly with each city he conquered.

The authorities cannot stand idly by and watch the decline grow, but they still need these cities behind enemy lines to temporarily delay the spread of the virus until logistics are fully restored.

This has been the official definition of them from the very beginning.

Peacetime is a dumping ground, wartime is a buffer zone.

So it wasn't just them; other teams also received escort missions, just to different destinations.

The journey is long, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Who can blame them when their team is so strong?

"Qianwen, how is it?"

A clear, cold female voice came from below the rift.

"Oh, Captain, it's too far, I can't really feel it clearly. Can Sister Ling come and help me?"

"it is good."

Lin Qianwen climbed a few more steps, clinging to the edge of the rock and peering out.

She activated her ability, and a ring emitting a faint golden light appeared above her head.

As spiritual energy was injected, the ring, like a shimmering wave, slowly spread outwards, carrying a gentle spiritual energy.

Lin Qianwen is a fifth-tier [Zhaoxin].

What she's using now is her basic skill: [Heart Lamp].

Because the ability itself has a certain mental attribute, it is much stronger in detection than the abilities of other [Radiant] paths.

Unfortunately, even at the fifth level, the exploration diameter is only about four kilometers.

Only at the sixth level can a qualitative change occur, reaching a distance of over ten kilometers; the specific value varies from person to person.

The strange phenomenon over there is a full six kilometers away from here!

If teammates provide a mental boost, it should be possible to barely touch it.

As she was thinking this, a girl wearing the same light power armor flew up from the bottom of the valley on a "skateboard".

The girl took off her helmet, revealing a slightly heroic face, and without saying a word, immediately gave Lin Qianwen a mental boost.

Her name is Nangong Ling, and she is a sixth-tier [Heart Image], whose role in the team is support.

Nangong Ling was already very familiar with this kind of thing.

The ring trembled slightly, then continued to expand outwards.

After a thorough search, Lin Qianwen withdrew her senses, shook her head at Nangong Ling, and relayed the message via the mental channel:

No abnormalities reported.

As soon as they finished speaking, a tall figure appeared beside them, followed by another teammate.

The team consists of four people, but three of them are naturally awakened individuals, making them quite formidable.

The one who could be their captain, although not a naturally awakened one, was a genius among geniuses.

Although they are of the same generation as them and their awakening time was relatively late, they already have combat power comparable to the seventh rank.

"team leader!"

The two greeted each other.

Shen Qiuyu nodded and looked at the mist in the distance.

"Strange, is it just my imagination?"

She withdrew her gaze, touched the storage bracelet on her wrist, and calmly said:

Let's keep going.
