Jiang Wu had already subconsciously raised his knife and slashed fiercely at the red light on M4 that only he could feel.

The alligator snapping turtle blade whistled through the air as it slashed towards the M4.

The M4 was caught in the moment when its action was not yet complete and it was unable to quickly return to defense.

With a "whoosh," the M4 was cleaved in two from the shoulder down to the waist by this single strike.

Its eyes still held disbelief.

Disbelief also appeared in Jiang Wu's eyes.

Just now it could only leave a deep wound, but now it can be cut in two?

Is this the hidden function of god-level sword skills?

Weakness attack?

To maximize the performance of swords and double the damage?

The other M4 was also dumbfounded.

It stared blankly at its companion on the ground, which had been cut in two, seemingly unable to understand why its companion had become like this.

The next second, M4 suddenly ran into the mine.

Jiang Wu was preparing to attack the remaining M4, wanting to try one more time.

Upon seeing that M4 had escaped, Jiang Wu was slightly taken aback, and then quickly gave chase.

This guy is terrifying; he's fast and incredibly durable.

Aside from himself, Blood Maiden, and Ning Chuxia, the rest of the Radiant Army here would probably have no way to deal with it.

The M4 couldn't just stand there and let the army bombard it with all sorts of large-caliber weapons or artillery.

The consequences would be unimaginable if they charged into the Radiant Army.

This is definitely a hidden danger in the recapture of Tongcheng.

Without Mi Qingying's slowdown, Jiang Wu's speed is now slightly faster than the M4, though not by much, but enough for Jiang Wu to slowly catch up.

The M4 looked back and saw Jiang Wu getting closer and closer. Fear flashed in its eyes, and it fled even more frantically.

After chasing him for several kilometers inside the mine, Jiang Wu suddenly ran back.

Because he saw that countless evolved zombies were already charging towards him.

In this situation, there's no way to kill that M4.

Sitting on the back of the golden giant bird, Mi Qingying stared blankly at the M4 that was broken in two and still struggling on the ground.

She could barely see the movements of either side during the fight.

She has always felt that she is quite capable.

But today, she has completely lost that confidence.

Jiang Wu rushed out of the mine and came to the struggling M4, slashing its neck several times.

With his neck broken, M4 was completely dead.

Jiang Wu picked up the three pieces of the M4 corpse and jumped onto the bird's back.

The golden giant bird flapped its wings, then took off and headed towards the temporary military camp.

The zombies inside the mine did not rush out.

It seemed as if they were wary of Jiang Wu's strength.

The golden giant bird carried Jiang Wu and Mi Qingying slowly over Copper City. Mi Qingying looked down at the massive city below, her feelings a complex mix of emotions.

Memories of the past flooded my mind like a tide.

In the past, during every long and unbearable day and night, all she longed for was to escape this ruin filled with despair and death with her family.

She had countless times imagined the wonderful scene after the escape in her heart, and envisioned her family starting their lives again in a safe place.

However, reality, like a cold and cruel blade, shattered her hopes one by one.

She watched helplessly as her family members fell one by one in front of her, some even being torn apart by zombies.

The piercing screams and desperate cries still echo in her ears. Every image is etched into her heart like a brand, becoming a nightmare she can't shake off.

Gradually, her heart was filled with sadness and despair. She lost all interest in the world and couldn't even find the motivation to live.

If she hadn't saved those people and found some reason to live, she might have broken down and committed suicide long ago.

But now, fate has played such a cruel joke on us.

The copper city she once longed to escape but could not was so easily leaped over by her.

The encounter in the mine, and Jiang Wu's desperate escape with her in his arms through the mine, all felt like a dream.

Mi Qingying subconsciously looked up at Jiang Wu, who was sitting in front of her.

His figure was so tall and straight, and so close that I could touch him with just a gentle reach.

Jiang Wu suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Mi Qingying, and casually asked, "Are you still afraid of heights?"

Mi Qingying did not speak.

Seeing that Mi Qingying didn't speak, Jiang Wu assumed she was too embarrassed to say it, so he simply sat down behind her and said with a smile, "That's fine. Don't worry, I can catch you anytime. We'll be there soon."

Mi Qingying finally couldn't help but ask softly, "Why...why are you so good to me?"

Jiang Wu was slightly taken aback. Why is he being nice to you?

You can't exactly say that you made Chen Yin look like you several times and then played games like crazy.

Clearing his throat, Jiang Wu casually said, "Meeting is fate, no need to worry about it so much."

Mi Qingying fell silent again.

Remembering something, she took off her snake-scale robe, turned around and handed it to Jiang Wu, saying softly, "Here's your robe back, thank you."

Jiang Wu said nonchalantly, "Take it, consider it a gift for you."

Mi Qingying shook her head and said, "I don't want it, this is too precious."

Jiang Wu took the snake-scale robe, unfolded it, and put it directly on Mi Qingying.

Mi Qingying was already somewhat afraid of heights, and she dared not move much up here, as there was no way to avoid it.

Seeing that she was a little stiff, Jiang Wu put the clothes on her directly and said with a smile, his tone leaving no room for argument, "Wear these. You accompanied me into such a dangerous mine and found the secret I was looking for. This is my reward for you."

Feeling Jiang Wu's gentle touch, Mi Qingying fell silent.

She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look into Jiang Wu's eyes, which were so close to hers.

For the first time, she lowered her head in front of a man.

As the giant bird flew, the distant scenery gradually became clear. In a canyon not far from the copper city, a huge construction site was being built at breakneck speed.

The people building the fortifications were all soldiers in camouflage.

Having lived in this apocalyptic world for so long, this was the first time Mi Qingying had seen so many soldiers, or even so many people gathered together. Her eyes held a complex expression.

Beyond the massive construction site, a well-organized camp came into view.

At first, it was just a blurry outline on the ground, like a peculiar array of lush greenery. As the distance closed, the details gradually emerged.

In the camp, rows of military green tents are neatly arranged.

Inside the tents, many soldiers in camouflage uniforms were busy at work.

Ke Mi Qingying's eyes, however, were firmly fixed on the tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery.

Her eyes were filled with shock.

That's not just one or two, but hundreds!

Mi Qingying's vision gradually blurred, and tears filled her beautiful eyes.

She had always believed that humanity could only struggle to survive and eke out a living in the ruins.

But I never expected to see this scene.

It turns out there really is a well-organized army outside!

It turns out they really were planning to retake Tongcheng!

So, there is still hope for humanity!
