“What do you mean, Miss Yun?”
Shen Xingchen forced his wildly pounding heart to calm down, suppressing the answer that was already on the tip of his tongue.
“The monsters contain violent biological energy. If I have enough demon cores, perhaps I can live for a few more days.
Of course, if I have to go out and kill a few more things myself, I should be able to last a little longer.”
Although the energy inside those monsters was impure, filled with impurities, terrible in taste, and even corrosive, her current broken body could no longer afford to be picky.
Shen Xingchen finally recovered from his shock, only to be overwhelmed by another wave of excitement.
A few more days of life, and she could still fight.
That was Huaguo’s nuclear weapon.
“I understand! Wait here.”
Shen Xingchen abandoned his usual composure.
He turned around and rushed out of the hospital room, then used his wristwatch to call Feng Changlan.
“Bring over every demon core obtained by Ninth Base! Hurry!”
Feng Changlan did not dare delay.
Five minutes later, several enormous crates were pushed into the hospital room, and the radiance of more than a thousand demon cores illuminated the entire room.
This was Ninth Base’s twenty year stockpile, accumulated through the blood and sacrifice of countless soldiers.
Although the laboratory had already developed spacecraft that required this kind of energy, as long as Miss Yun needed it, they had to give it to her.
Shen Xingchen stared nervously at Yun Xingwan and asked cautiously, “Miss Yun, is this enough?”
Yun Xingwan casually glanced at the glittering demon cores.
Their quality was appallingly low, but they would have to do it.
She raised a finger and pointed.
The demon cores scattered across the floor seemed to come alive, floating into the air one after another.
Yun Xingwan slightly parted her lips.
The demon cores, as hard as alloy, instantly transformed into streams of energy that surged toward her mouth and nose.
As the energy entered her body, her withered frame erupted with a series of explosive sounds. A faint flush returned to her pale cheeks, while golden light flowed across her cracked skin, and the wounds showed faint signs of healing.
Even the stone coffin beside her began to glow, with the Emperor Patterns appearing and disappearing within the radiance.
Half a minute later, the energy within the countless demon cores had vanished.
Only fine gray ash remained, drifting down through the air.
In less than three breaths, the ash accumulated into a small mound.
Whoosh…
A long, distant sound echoed through the silent air, as though it had come from the depths of ancient time.
Her three thousand strands of silver hair moved without any wind, and a faint smile appeared on her cracked face.
The overwhelming weakness that had made her feel as though death could claim her at any moment had also disappeared.
Her body was still seriously injured, but at least she could afford to cough a few more times now.
She reached up and brushed the hair away from her cheek, then looked toward Shen Xingchen, who had been completely petrified.
“Little friend, thank you for the meal. This was much more filling than noodles.”
The corner of Shen Xingchen’s mouth finally twitched, and something seemed to flicker within his dark eyes.
Beside him, Feng Changlan, who had delivered the demon cores, looked as though his handsome face had been frozen into a mask. Only his eyes slowly blinked.
She ate them.
She swallowed them all in one go!
The commander really had brought home a divine grandmother!
His knees went weak, and he stumbled before dropping flat onto the ground. He was only a moment away from crying out that the divine grandmother had revealed herself.
Yun Xingwan slightly moved her fingertip.
A gentle force immediately lifted Feng Changlan from the ground.
“It isn’t New Year yet. Even if you bow to me, you won’t get a gift.”
“No, no, no, I don’t want a gift!”
Feng Changlan hurriedly waved his hands.
He would never dare ask the divine grandmother for a gift.
Forget the commander killing him. The Number One Commander would probably send him to Kunlun Mountain to eat snow.
Shen Xingchen looked at Yun Xingwan with a complicated expression.
Before she absorbed those demon cores, she had been like a candle that could go out at any moment.
Now, she was like a burning star in the universe.
She was so dazzling that he could barely open his eyes, and he even felt an urge to worship her.
He clenched his fists, and the power of space began circulating within his body.
Before yesterday, he had been the strongest SSS ranked battle general in all of Huaguo.
But now…
He could not help giving a bitter smile.
He still had to work harder!
Yun Xingwan wore a satisfied smile.
“Little friend, let’s go. I’ll do some work for you.”
“Work?”
Confusion filled Shen Xingchen’s eyes.
“I just sensed an aura appearing in the south.”
Shen Xingchen’s heart tightened, but before he could ask anything, Yun Xingwan continued.
“It should be the companion of that fellow from last night. He seems to be carrying quite a bit of resentment.”
Shen Xingchen’s expression immediately turned grave.
“You mean the Hell Red Eyed Demon King?”
Feng Changlan’s expression also changed drastically, and terror filled his eyes.
He still felt shaken whenever he remembered the Hell Blood Ghoul from the previous night.
The Hell Red Eyed Demon King was even more terrifying than the Hell Blood Ghoul.
“This delivery service is certainly punctual.”
The moment she said this, Shen Xingchen’s breathing became heavier again, and his heart began pounding wildly.
He remembered how she had annihilated the monsters within a radius of one hundred kilometers with a single finger the previous night.
And those things were merely food to her?
His hands unconsciously clenched.
If only he could become this powerful too!
Feng Changlan’s mouth had already formed a perfect O.
That thing could survive even a hydrogen bomb, yet in her eyes, it was merely a food delivery.
As expected of the divine grandmother.
Yun Xingwan calmly looked down at her filthy and tattered Emperor Robe.
“Can you prepare a cleaner set of clothes for me?”
Before Shen Xingchen could respond, Feng Changlan recovered from his shock and immediately turned around, rushing out of the hospital room.
“Divine grandmother, I’ll go get your clothes right away!”
Five hundred kilometers away from Ninth Base.
A pitch black demonic cloud pressed down over the entire sky, turning the heavens dark and gloomy.
Beneath the demonic cloud, a group of flying monsters carried a pitch black throne.
A gigantic monster stood one hundred meters tall upon the throne.
It had three heads, and six eyes grew from the top of each head.
Every eye stared at Ninth Base like a searchlight.
Behind the throne, countless monsters of various forms flew through the air.
Some resembled bats, while others looked like lizards, yet all of them possessed two wings.
The ground was even more densely packed with monsters.
At the very front was a tide of more than one hundred thousand zombies, followed by monsters more than ten meters tall.
“Roar! Who killed my younger brother? I will tear him limb from limb! I will make his soul suffer under the corrosion of demonic energy!”
The furious roar shook the heavens.
Terrifying pressure caused the earth beneath their feet to split apart continuously, while countless streams of lava erupted from the cracks.
The lava seemed to possess a life of its own.
It gathered on both sides of the monster army into two enormous rivers and flowed alongside them as they advanced.
Wherever the lava passed, flames soared into the sky, and every living thing was submerged and destroyed.
Ninth Base, outside the underground shelter’s changing room.
Feng Changlan handed over a bag of clothes and explained,
“Miss Yun, these are our specially manufactured combat uniforms. They use the most advanced technology currently available. They’re made by combining tough monster hides with special fibers. They’re bulletproof, resistant to high temperatures, and capable of blocking radiation…”
“Alright. Let Miss Yun change clothes.”
Shen Xingchen frowned and reminded him.
Feng Changlan abruptly fell silent.
Only then did he realize that he was apparently very good at talking nonsense.
Talking about these things in front of someone who could swallow a nuclear reactor whole…
Yun Xingwan glanced over the clothes.
They were quite good.
At the very least, they could withstand a tiny amount of her Emperor Qi.
A few minutes later.
She stared at her reflection in the mirror with satisfaction.
She was wearing a brand new uniform that resembled a tracksuit, and the uniform was light blue.
Three hundred million years had passed.
Putting on this kind of clothing once again did not feel strange at all.
Instead, she felt as though this was what she should have been wearing all along.
The Emperor Robe that had accompanied her for hundreds of millions of years, a battle robe stained with the blood of countless Supreme beings, was discarded disdainfully into the trash.
She reached up and tried to tie her loose hair back.
The moment the ordinary hair tie touched her hair, her strands sliced straight through it.
She could not help sighing.
“I wonder if that food delivery includes a hair tie?”
