456: I'm so grateful to Mommmmmm for the amazing gift! I'm completely out of drafts, this will be finished by the end of the month.

The Final World.

The tenth year after the final battle ended.

"The sky belongs to Hafke; the new world is right beside your ears."

"You are listening to C Radio 90.8, Voice of Hafke, supported by the Iris global broadcast system."

"I am Meiling, reporting to you 24/7 on the acceleration process of Hafke."

"The current happiness index for Xia Kingdom citizens is 89.4, a decrease of 1.6% from yesterday."

"Global energy distribution efficiency has reached 99.7%."

"Medical drone coverage has reached 93%."

"Technology reshapes order; the future belongs to calculation."

"Three Order-Breakers were discovered today. Capture efforts are ongoing, and we expect to completely annihilate them in 3 minutes."

In every corner of the world, a cold and ethereal AI voice sounded simultaneously.

"Sister Mulan, it's time to go..." a youth with a slightly immature appearance but a face full of determination spoke softly.

In front of the youth, the tall Su Mulan stood before an alley, motionless for a long time.

Her entire body was wrapped in a dark red cloak, and she wore a hood over her head. Beneath the hood was a red mask.

On her back, she now carried a massive anti-materiel sniper rifle.

"Mulan, it's time to go..." Beside her, the nearly 40-year-old Liu Yang's voice was a bit hoarse.

"He saved me right here, back then..." Su Mulan's fingers kept tapping lightly against the wall at the alley entrance.

Only by doing this could she listen to the current state of the entire alley.

"Yes, I know, but if we don't leave now, it will really be too late." Liu Yang let out a long sigh.

"There are only two minutes left; we can't afford to waste any more of the ten thousand gold tear crown."

Su Mulan clenched her fair hand slightly, her expression beneath the mask looking extremely dim. After pausing for a few seconds, she slowly turned around.

"Let's go." After Su Mulan spoke, the three of them moved simultaneously, heading rapidly in one direction.

Three cloaked figures shuttled quickly through the city, with the buildings on both sides constantly receding behind them.

The streets and buildings of today had been fully upgraded; the entire city was filled with a sense of high technology. However, there were very few pedestrians on the road.

After the final battle, the remaining population of the Xia Kingdom was brought back to the Xia Kingdom, but they were not concentrated in one place; instead, they were scattered across various provinces.

Of course, many Xia Kingdom people were also settled in other countries. Even countries that no longer had people were not abandoned by Hafke, which continued to renovate and upgrade them.

While running, the expression beneath Su Mulan's mask suddenly changed, and she abruptly unslung the sniper rifle from her back.

"3 o'clock direction, 800 meters, 16 people."

"10 o'clock direction, 1000 meters, 21 people."

"6 o'clock direction, 500 meters, 13 people."

Hum—! Hum—! As soon as Su Mulan finished speaking, just as the three were about to dash across a road, a large number of Hafke Soldiers flew out from both sides of the building complex.

Beneath the feet of the Hafke Soldiers were flight devices resembling skateboards. Even for the Soldiers that Su Mulan had mentioned were a full 1000 meters away, it only took 0.5 seconds from the moment Su Mulan reported their positions to them appearing in front of the group.

The three of them screeched to a halt almost simultaneously.

Whoosh—! In almost an instant, Su Mulan utilized her power propulsion device to leap into the air.

During the process, one of Su Mulan's hands, hidden under her cloak, produced a modified Emergency Evasion Device. This Emergency Evasion Device was different from the ones hung at the waist; it was only half-sized. Held in Su Mulan's hand, it achieved an effect similar to a grappling hook!

Sssss—! The grappling hook nailed into the building complex, simultaneously pulling Su Mulan rapidly in that direction. During the process, Su Mulan's other hand unslung the Anzio anti-materiel sniper rifle from her back.

Compared to the rapid propulsion of the power propulsion device, the speed of the Emergency Evasion Device was slightly slower. This allowed Su Mulan to focus more intently on aiming at her targets.

Su Mulan lifted the Anzio anti-materiel sniper rifle with one hand, aiming forward. Unlike others, Su Mulan didn't aim at all. When pulled to a certain position by the grappling hook, Su Mulan instantly pulled the trigger!!

Bang—!!!! The bullet, wreathed in wisps of lightning, instantly pierced through ten Hafke Soldiers lined up in a row!

From the moment the enemies appeared, to Su Mulan ascending, finding an angle, firing, and completing the first kill, it took a total of 0.3 seconds.

On the other side, Liu Yang and the youth had just reacted. "Zhao Jianghan!" Liu Yang shouted rapidly at the youth beside him.

Hiss—! The moment his voice fell, Zhao Jianghan had already rapidly released countless smoke-screen drones in all directions with both hands. In an instant, white smoke completely covered the area!

At the same time, the cluster of firefly drones swarmed out like hornets whose nest had been poked! On the other side, Liu Yang quickly placed a portable military radar on the ground. The moment the two finished their combat preparations, another thunderous gunshot rang out!

Bang—!! Through the smoke-penetrating view of the portable military radar, Liu Yang clearly saw nearly ten more Hafke Soldiers completely pierced by a single shot. Meanwhile, Su Mulan was still in mid-air, constantly adjusting her position, preparing for the next efficient kill.

Zhao Jianghan also saw this scene, his eye twitching involuntarily. At the same time, he couldn't help but admire himself; when he first met Liu Yang and Su Mulan, where did he get the courage to challenge Su Mulan?

Whoosh—! After taking the giant wave assault rifle from his back, Zhao Jianghan also leaped into mid-air.

Rat-tat-tat—! Rat-tat-tat—! After rapidly closing the combat distance, Zhao Jianghan lifted the giant wave and pulled the trigger continuously.

The three-round burst from the assassin barrel, combined with his superb marksmanship, allowed him to achieve precise headshots every time.

"Activate thermal imaging goggles, everyone!" It wasn't until their casualties exceeded half that the Hafke Soldiers finally reacted.

Bang—!! Another bullet, wreathed in lightning, broke through the smoke and pierced through several Hafke Soldiers. The remaining Soldiers, hearing the order, hurriedly raised their hands and clicked a button at their temples.

Instantly, pale red particles converged from both sides toward their eyes, rapidly forming pale red goggles. Under the pale red goggles, the smoke in front of them was clearly visible.

Bang—!! But before they could clearly see the scene behind the smoke, they were pierced through collectively again! After killing all the Hafke Soldiers, Su Mulan landed steadily.

"The youngsters these days are fiercer than the last; there's no need for me at all."

"Sigh, I'm getting old." Liu Yang sighed helplessly and put his gun away.

"Sister Mulan killed them all... I only killed 15..."

Slap—

"Are you insulting me in a roundabout way?"

Liu Yang patted Zhao Jianghan's head irritably, then took a ruby from his pocket and looked up at Su Mulan.

"There's no chance to run anymore; we have to use another ten thousand gold tear crown."

Whoosh— Seeing this, Su Mulan nodded and quickly approached Liu Yang and the other. As long as the three of them held hands, and one of them crushed the ruby, they could leave this place together.

But just at this moment, streaks of translucent data garble appeared between the three of them. The data garble flowed continuously from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top.

The next second, a figure appeared in front of the three. The figure's eyes were somewhat deep and weary, but his handsome face was one that even time struggled to leave marks upon.

The moment he appeared, he casually took the ruby from Liu Yang's hand. Soon, the three saw the ruby gradually turn into a 2D graphic in that person's hand, resembling a piece of red paper.

Riiiip— He picked up the 2D paper that the ruby had turned into, casually tore it apart, then raised his eyes to look at Su Mulan.

"Mulan..."

"It's been ten years..."

"Rest for a while... stop this..."

This incredibly familiar voice poured into Su Mulan's ears, causing the expression beneath her mask to change instantly. For her, who was exceptionally sensitive to voices, although she didn't hear the other person's heartbeat at all, the moment the other person spoke, she recognized who was standing there. That person... was none other than Fuji...
