Su He had just closed his eyes when he felt a blinding light suddenly burst in from the window. He instinctively shielded his eyes with his arm, and peeking out through his fingers, he witnessed a scene he would never forget:

A fiery red cloud on the horizon almost cleaved through the darkness, and the intense flames, accompanied by endless crimson, dyed the entire city sky red.

A gigantic bird-shaped phantom slowly emerged, like a blazing flame. Its long neck gently encircled its body, and its dazzling tail feathers were indescribably beautiful. A pair of huge golden eyes slowly opened, revealing a mixture of majesty and compassion.

Two smaller firebirds flew merrily around it, as if following it or clinging to it.

【cracking--】

The crisp chirping of birds cut across the sky, the red fiery cloud slowly dissipated, and all the radiance enveloped the city center.

"!!!"

Su He held her breath and ran to the other window, trying to get a better view.

Flames engulfed the city, sweeping through the streets. A dense horde of zombies surged forward like a tidal wave, charging madly towards the source of the light. Countless abandoned aircraft suddenly exploded, unleashing a massive heatwave—

"boom!!"

"boom!!"

The explosion swept through the zombie horde, sending countless zombies soaring into the air. The glass of the shops on the street shattered with a series of cracking sounds, and the smell of burning flesh and blood mingled together. Amidst the scorching heat, a figure slowly emerged.

—It was a young woman with black hair and golden eyes, carrying a long sword on her back. She slightly raised her eyes, seemingly unaffected by the high temperature, as she walked among the constantly falling mummies.

Su He's eyes widened.
