"What..."

"It seems like it's really coming down!!"

"Oh my god, I'm in the area outside the safety zone, and it's actually not particularly unbearable..."

"The temperature here is around seventy or eighty degrees, which is very hot, but nowhere near as terrifying as before..."

"Has the Drought Fiend been killed?!"

Instantly, everyone still conscious realized.

They all shouted joyfully.

Further away, within the building ruins.

Jia Weixin stood up from the ruins, holding his daughter, a look of joy flashing across his face.

Because he was worried that those undergoing mutation might infect others, he had previously gathered them in the infirmary and not placed them in the Radiation-Proof Safe House.

Including his daughter, Jia Nan.

In the previous critical moment, he had only managed to protect his daughter, while he himself was blown into the Ancient Ruins by the terrifying storm.

As for everyone else, he could only let them fend for themselves.

Moreover, whether these women, who were having their mutation speed suppressed by coolers, could successfully survive was uncertain.

Just like Storm Jia Nan, who was still unconscious and had not completed her mutation.

"Commander, you're here..."

Chen Xianzhi ran over, exclaiming in surprise, "Mr. Yang Yuan succeeded, very likely... really killed the Drought Fiend!"

Jia Weixin felt the air temperature drop significantly and nodded vigorously, then instructed, "Quickly organize the rescue, this time the loss might be... heavy!"

"Alright, I'll personally oversee the rescue."

Chen Xianzhi left excitedly, full of energy.

Although the losses were substantial, with the entire safety zone being blown away, causing many injuries and possibly even fatalities.

However, as long as the Drought Fiend could be killed, it was all worth it.

Jia Weixin looked up at the pitch-black sky, feeling emotional: "If headquarters found out that we really killed the Drought Fiend, they'd probably be shocked beyond belief!"

...

The ten doors of the Radiation-Proof Safe House opened one after another, and the women walked out.

Looking at the darkness outside, feeling the temperature that wasn't particularly intolerable even without coolers, they all showed excitement.

"That internal heat sensation seems to have disappeared..."

"Is the Drought Fiend really dead?"

"Seems like it..."

Many women couldn't help but cry tears of joy.

The previous crisis of possibly being Reversed Yin and Yang and mutating into Drought Fiends kept them constantly in a state of awaiting death, along with enduring discrimination and rejection from some men.

Now, this situation was finally over, and they no longer had to await death.

Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi also came out, both showing looks of surprise.

"Jiayan sister, big brother succeeded!" Jiang Yiyi shouted with joy.

"Yes, yes, he really... succeeded!"

Zhao Jiayan felt as if in a dream, seemingly seeing the scene where Yang Yuan vowed to eliminate the Drought Fiend.

Back then, although she encouraged Yang Yuan verbally, she honestly didn't believe he could do it.

After all, such a creature couldn't be defeated even when united by the entire Earth Alliance.

The surviving tens of billions had fled tens of thousands of miles, where many starved to death along the way.

If the Drought Fiend was so easily killed, they wouldn't have waited till now.

However—

The playfully spoken wish of Yang Yuan, at that time, was truly realized,

he really killed the Drought Fiend!

At this, the door of the small Safe House opened, the illumination inside spreading out, and many instinctively crowded over.

Yang Yuan, wearing camouflage Power Armor and holding a sniper rifle, walked out, looking at the pitch-black outside, listening to people far away talking about the temperature dropping, suddenly showing excitement in his eyes.

"Seems like I succeeded!"

He felt relieved.

To be honest, he thought he was going to fail at the last moment.

Celestial-level Creatures were simply terrifying, their movement speed incredibly fast, crossing hundreds of kilometers in an instant, all while being bombarded with shells and massive explosions.

The Drought Fiend dodged shells and blasts while still managing such rapid movement, truly terrifying.

"But... in the end, I won!"

Ninety thousand ten-level Firepower Flying Disc shells simultaneously detonated.

Its power far exceeded the current maximum power hydrogen bombs earth could manufacture.

One look at the sky said it all.

Last night, stars were visible.

Now the sky is pitch-black, no stars can be seen.

The sky is likely covered in dust, the phenomenon might last a long time.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the Drought Fiend is dead, he can not only survive but thrive with his means.

"However, it seems... ten-level Firepower Flying Discs are still slightly short of actually killing Celestial-level Creatures. Shells can't penetrate its defenses; without detonating the discs, it would've been vain."

Yang Yuan summarized his experience: "To surely kill Celestial-level Creatures, at least an eleven-level Firepower Flying Disc is needed, and even eleven-level might encounter unexpected issues."

The Drought Fiend had been moving slowly relative to Celestial-level Creatures.

Moreover, it had been sealed in Ancient Ruins for who knows how long, presumably in a weakened state.

A fully empowered Celestial-level Creature would be undoubtedly much stronger.

Thus, there were elements of luck in killing the Drought Fiend.

After all, it was the first hunt for Celestial-level Creatures, with no prior experience.

Next time would be better.

This time was rushed, mainly driven by the Drought Fiend's urgency.

Otherwise, his original plan was to wait until Firepower Flying Discs reached eleven-levels, becoming a Marvel, before acting.

"Yang Yuan..."

"Big brother!"

Suddenly Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi squeezed over.

"Yang Yuan, you succeeded!" Zhao Jiayan exclaimed happily.

"Yes, I succeeded!"

Yang Yuan nodded with a smile.

"Big brother is amazing!" Jiang Yiyi cheered excitedly.

"Yiyi is amazing too," Yang Yuan chuckled, reaching out his free hand to pat the little girl's head.

At that moment, the previously blown soldiers surrounded them again, isolating the other women crowding there, shouting loudly: "Except for children under ten, everyone else help with the rescue."

"Yang Yuan, I'm going to help," Zhao Jiayan said.

"You don't need to," Yang Yuan replied, looking at the surrounding soldiers.

The soldiers looked with admiration at Yang Yuan, then one of them immediately said: "Ms. Zhao, you don't need to, the commander instructed us to prioritize protecting you."

By now, any sensible person would understand Yang Yuan's significance.

So they immediately protected Yang Yuan again.

As for mundane chores, they wouldn't make anyone near Yang Yuan do them.

They'd rather support them at a very high level.

Zhao Jiayan's eyes flashed, knowing she was benefiting by association with Yang Yuan again. Just about to speak, the previous internal heat feeling emerged suddenly, changing her expression.

Simultaneously, the nearby women also felt it.

"It's getting hot again..."

"What's going on?"

"Could the Drought Fiend still be alive?"

"How can this be..."

All the women showed frustration.

Not only them, people farther away suddenly realized the temperature that had dropped was rising again.
