"Is this place going to collapse..." Zhu Mu was stunned, and said in a suppressed voice. This place collapses without making a sound. If Ji Yueyao hadn't had the paper, he wouldn't have noticed. Hmm... maybe he really is a bit too slow. "Then Captain, let's go quickly, or we'll be crushed underneath... Hey, but can that spider-type strange bird be crushed to death?"
Why does he find this so impossible?
"What will kill it is not the collapsed soil, but those things." Ji Yueyao was too weak to speak. She pointed behind her and walked forward without looking back, not caring whether Zhu Mu saw it or not.
Zhu Mu squinted and looked back, but there was nothing there... Hmm? He raised his head and seemed to see something wriggling in the soil above, but he couldn't see it very clearly because of the darkness... However, it should be said that it wasn't just above them, but there seemed to be a large area behind them that was also moving towards them in dense numbers.
Wait a minute... that's a man-eating ant-type exotic bird!
Zhu Mu's expression changed drastically in an instant. Before he could even say anything to Ji Yueyao, he carried Ji Yueyao on his back and ran forward like the wind.
Ji Yueyao, who was suddenly carried on his back, rolled her eyes and let him carry her. Ahead seemed to be a forest with an uphill path. Although it was full of thorns, she thought that if she went through it, she should be able to reach the middle of the Forbidden Forest.
She sighed, her gaze becoming slightly unfocused, and closed her eyes gently.
I'm so tired.
A sharp scream pierced the silent darkness from behind. Without turning around, Zhu Mu and Ji Yueyao both understood that the spider-type alien bird had already been devoured by the dense swarm of man-eating ant-type alien birds.
The Forbidden Zone of Death has truly become a place of death...
Tsk, it's over.
...
No matter how dark the Forbidden Forest is, seven days have passed in the outside world, and the war in the north has changed from B country's reckless attack to a stalemate between the two sides.
Mu Yanxuan looked at the people who were attacking with heavy weapons with a cold, expressionless face, and raised his hand to give the order, "Strengthen the defense."
As soon as the order was given, the border guards around the area immediately focused their attention. Facing the menacing B country people in front of them, not one of them showed any fear. Almost everyone held their breath and waited to launch an attack on the enemy.
Some of them were from the military region, while others were from the Beihuang Base. This was the first time they had joined forces to fight each other since the beginning of the apocalypse.
Seemingly in an instant, the artillery fire came without warning, then exploded into countless sparks on the defensive net. The shockwaves and the rolling heat waves brought an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
The superhuman rushed to the front and used all their abilities to create a death barrier below the defensive net.
The moment the artillery fire touched the barrier of death, it vanished like water meeting extremely hot fire, while ordinary people hid behind the superhumans and retaliated with fire no less fierce than that of the enemy.
In reality, those with superpowers also bear responsibilities along with their immense power. While a free superpowered individual, unrestrained by any power, might live as they please if their living conditions allow, generally they are attached to a stable and powerful force. And when faced with war or when those forces require their assistance, a superpowered individual, to put it bluntly, becomes a humanoid weapon with immense destructive power.
Mu Yan lowered his eyes, coldly watching the raging battle before him. Several people slowly ascended the stairs beside him. One of them appeared to be in his forties or fifties, his brows furrowed with weariness, his hair streaked with gray, and his eyes, though slightly bright, were cloudy and unreadable. Behind this man were a man and a woman; the man wore glasses but did not appear weak or frail.
Beneath the man's clean and tidy clothes, every muscle in his body exuded immense power. His every move seemed to carry a rhythm that symbolized strength. After coming up, he glanced expressionlessly at the battle, then lowered his eyelids.
Accompanying them was a young girl, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was sweet and lovely, but even though she tried her best to hide it, her arrogant demeanor, which she had always maintained, could not be concealed. Her slightly large eyes still held a hint of arrogance.
Mu Yan kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, seemingly focusing all his attention on the battlefield. However, he knew that the newcomers were actually Huang Tianji, the current leader of the Beihuang Base, along with his eldest son Huang Yan and only daughter Huang Ya.
"Is Commander Mu personally overseeing the battle?" Huang Tianji stood beside Mu Yanxuan, also watching the raging flames of war. However, his face did not show the solemnity one would expect. There seemed to be a relaxed smile in his cloudy eyes, making him look quite leisurely.
Mu Yanxuan glanced at Huang Tianji indifferently, completely ignoring the people who followed him. "Didn't Chief Huang come here in person?"
"Hahaha!" Huang Tianji laughed loudly, "I have no choice, I really don't trust my brothers, I really can't rest easy without keeping an eye on them myself!"
They said it nicely, but really they were just monitoring him to see if he was doing anything to harm the people at the Northern Phoenix Base. Mu Yanxuan nodded, turned his head away expressionlessly, and ignored Huang Tianji.
The girl standing behind Huang Tianji opened her big, bright eyes, her clear pupils reflecting Mu Yanxuan's handsome and calm face, and she couldn't help but be captivated.
"M-Commander..." The usually fiery girl felt helpless for the first time. She didn't even notice that Mu Yanxuan didn't even glance at her. She blushed and spoke shyly.
Mu Yanxuan seemed not to hear his voice and did not move.
"Ya Ya, don't be rude." Huang Tianji turned around and scolded the girl, but there was not much blame on his face. He turned back to look at Mu Yanxuan's profile, smiled and pulled the girl standing behind him over, "Commander Mu, this is my only daughter, Huang Ya. She is only nineteen years old this year, but she has already led a team to eliminate aliens in the wasteland. She is no less capable than her two older brothers."
Mu Yanxuan frowned upon hearing this, but said nothing and didn't even glance at Huang Ya.
Seemingly sensing Mu Yanxuan's indifference, Huang Tianji's smile remained unchanged. Instead, he pulled Huang Ya forward and placed her next to Mu Yanxuan. "Ya Ya, haven't you always wanted to meet Commander Mu?"
Huang Ya pinched the hem of her clothes, nodded and smiled shyly, then stood beside Mu Yanxuan. Although her eyes were on the battlefield, her peripheral vision never left Mu Yanxuan.
Huang Yan frowned slightly in displeasure, but didn't say anything more. She simply nodded slightly to Mu Yanxuan and said softly, "Commander Mu, I was just escorting my father up here. I have some official business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." (To be continued.)
