Xuehui... Thank you for your continued support.

So, will you listen to me now and leave obediently? I was able to stop Xingluo this time, but next time even I... might be powerless!

For your own safety... please don't be reckless!

As she was leaving, Anna couldn't help but steal a glance back. When she saw Xuehui standing there looking lost and dejected, a hint of sadness crept into her eyes.

However, that fleeting glance had left Anna with a sense of unease... She felt as if Yukiteru's gaze wasn't directed at her, but rather...

Anna slightly raised her head and looked at the beautiful, sparkling night stars beside her.

"It was around this time in my previous life too..."

Suddenly, Ye Xingluo paused, and murmured softly.

"Starfall... what did you say..."

Anna, who was confused, was about to ask for clarification, but her voice suddenly stopped.

because...

"boom!"

A violent explosion suddenly rang out from a distance.

That is...

Anna instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

The sound was exactly like the roar of a bomb exploding that she had seen in movies.

"Da da da... da da da..."

Following closely behind was the incessant firing of heavy machine guns and the sharp, piercing screech of the void creatures.

Has the army finally arrived?

Night Star fell slowly as he thought about it.

Clearly, this is a big commotion they've caused.

The goal is quite simple: lure those lurking in the city, and then... wipe them out completely!

Nantong City is about to become lively!

...

Deep in the outskirts of Nantong City, in an unknown wilderness, the air is thick with the pungent smell of lingering gunpowder.

Here...the grotesque, twisted corpses of void creatures and the stench of dripping blood are everywhere.

As the shattered corpses gradually penetrated deeper, a pile of ravaged iron railings lay scattered before an equally dilapidated enclosure. On the dense thickets of thorns and iron spikes, the Void creatures, clinging to life, were still struggling and writhing their dying bodies.

The soldiers in military uniforms lay sprawled on the inside of the fence, almost out of ammunition and food, and they didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

All they could do now was gasp for breath, grateful that they had survived the darkness, and enjoy the feeling of being alive.

From the moment the void rift appeared, they never let their guard down and finally managed to hold on in this tough battle against the void creatures, gaining a temporary respite.

As for what to do next, that's up to the team leader...

The soldiers resting on the ground all looked behind them in unison... at the command post that had been half-crushed by some enormous creature.

"We won, but it was a Pyrrhic victory... Damn it!" An elderly man with a full head of silver hair and wearing a crisp military uniform could not contain his anger. He slammed his powerful fist on the conference table. "When I, Jin Biao, was young, I fought in so many battles, and this is the first time I've seen a guy who can't even be killed by artillery shells. Damn it!"

"Commander, you really need to change your habit of getting angry over every little thing. There aren't that many empty tables for you to smash right now. Besides... we didn't lose many soldiers, so how can you call it a Pyrrhic victory?"

The speaker was an elderly man of similar age to Jin Biao, but compared to the fierce-looking regimental commander, he seemed quite Buddhist. He sat cross-legged to one side, glanced at the smashed table, and spoke slowly.

On his crossed legs lay an ancient-looking longsword.

"Whether it's bullets, shells, or grenades... we're almost completely out of supplies. Yi Yuntian... tell me what we're going to do next!"

Jin Biao glared at Yi Yuntian, who had a nonchalant expression, and roared.

"There's always a way out; rushing won't solve anything," Yi Yuntian said slowly. "Only calming down can..."

"Stop nagging me. It's the apocalypse and you still can't shake your nagging habit." Jin Biao waved his hand impatiently and said, "Now that the void creatures are weak... it's time for us to organize a rescue. Let's divide the rescue area and clear out the void creatures in Nantong City!"

“That’s not appropriate.” Yi Yuntian’s slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened. “After the great battle, most of our troops are exhausted and need to rest for a period of time before we can carry out a rescue operation. Otherwise, in the current state, there will be great hidden dangers.”

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Jin Biao looked somewhat anxious.

In the face of such a natural disaster, every second they delay in deploying could result in the loss of an innocent life, yet they must also be responsible for the safety of their soldiers.

For soldiers whose duty is to protect their country and its people... this is indeed a difficult choice.

"Company Commander Li, how many tanks are still operational?"

Yi Yuntian suddenly asked.

"Only one remains."

Company Commander Li couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

In order to resist the surging waves of void creatures, almost all of their large combat weapons were rendered useless.

“As long as it works.” Yi Yuntian pondered for a moment and then said, “We can send a vanguard team first. There don’t need to be many people. They can drive tanks through Nantong City to boost morale and clear out the void creatures that have been attracted along the way. Let the suffering people know that we have arrived. At least... let them rekindle their hope for the future. After all, if people’s hearts die, then they are truly dead.”

"In that case, let my precious granddaughter come along. As a Star-Chosen One, Jiajia is a guarantee for the safety of the vanguard team... Old man Yi, what's with that expression? Don't you believe in my granddaughter's abilities?"

Jin Biao's eyebrows furrowed, looking like he was about to explode.

“I do acknowledge Jiajia’s abilities…” Yi Yuntian paused, seemingly considering his words, “but her intelligence… is truly worrying.”

"You old geezer...are you saying my granddaughter is stupid?"

Jin Biao clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking.

Just as the two seemed about to start fighting at the slightest disagreement, someone suddenly stood up with a laugh.

"Since that's the case... then I'll go with you. As the mayor of Nantong City, it's time for me to contribute my share to this city."

...

Chapter 161 Elbow, Come Inside With Me

"Starfall... everything will be alright, right?"

Anna listened to the distant clanging of metal and the crackling of automatic weapons as she spoke slowly... The sounds were noisy, but incredibly reassuring.

"Perhaps."

"Night Starfall said softly."

The void creatures are retreating steadily in the face of the gradually awakening humans. The humans, barely surviving, have recently been able to leave their hiding places and go out to find food. Now, even the army has entered the city in a large-scale operation.

This will undoubtedly give people a false impression...

The end times seem to have come to an end, and humanity's dark years will come to a close.

If Ye Xingluo hadn't traveled from the future to the past, he might have had the same thoughts.

However, Ye Xinglu raised her head and looked at the void rift in the sky that was flashing with a faint purple light. In that deep and huge rift, something seemed to be quietly gestating, waiting for the opportunity to break free of its restraints and devour everything.

The current tranquility... is merely the prelude to the storm; truly terrifying void creatures will soon follow.

However... Ye Xingluo didn't want to tell Anna about these things. Rather than worrying about the uncertain future, she preferred to enjoy this rare peace with a little hope.

"Alright, let's put that aside for now." Night Starfall continued holding Anna's little hand as they walked towards Phantom, saying expectantly, "There...are more important things to do~"

Hearing Ye Xingluo's pointed words, Anna lowered her head sadly, biting her lower lip tightly.

"Why does Anna look so unwilling? You know... you were the one who made this promise," Ye Xingluo said softly. "Since Anna is in so much pain, let's just forget about it."

After saying that, Ye Xingluo let go of Anna's hand.

"No...that's not it, I'm willing!"

Anna, suddenly snapping out of her daze, quickly grabbed Ye Xingluo's wrist, her eyes filled with panic.

"Really?"

Ye Xinglu asked with a look of disbelief.

"Uh-huh!"

Anna nodded vigorously, afraid that Ye Xingluo would feel uncomfortable and shake off her arm.

"Oh? In that case... then prove it with your actions." Ye Xinglu said expressionlessly, "Sister Anna, your promise."

Is it... here?

Anna stammered, her voice a little hoarse.

She felt a pang of regret... but ultimately couldn't help but show her sadness in front of Ye Xingluo, which led to her being in such an awkward situation once again.

“I wouldn’t mind if you went to your ex-boyfriend’s place, you know~” Ye Xinglu smiled kindly. “I just don’t know… if he can handle that much stimulation. Of course, I’m definitely not threatening Anna.”

This is the threat, isn't it...?

Anna couldn't help but think to herself, and a bitter smile appeared on her pretty face.

For Yukiteru's sake, she had no other choice.

Anna trembled as she grabbed Ye Xingluo's arm, then resignedly closed her eyes and pressed Ye Xingluo's hand against her chest with great difficulty.

Seeing Anna's pained expression, Ye Xinglu couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

The reason he so easily let Yukiteru go and readily admitted that he was a beautiful girl covering for Anna wasn't just because of that passionate kiss.

To protect Yukiteru... Anna secretly wrote some very touching words on his palm.

Right under Xuehui's nose, in front of the person she loved most, Anna actually took the initiative to give another man the implication that her breasts were "at his disposal."

If Yukiteru hadn't appeared, Anna, given her personality, would probably never have done something like this to Yoru.

Is this the greatness of love?

To protect the one she loves, she is willing to use her precious body as a bargaining chip, and she is willing to abandon her dignity to please other men with her body.

This kind of teacher Anna... the stark contrast between her humble appearance and her noble and holy demeanor in her previous life is truly delightful!
