I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"Then I'll just ignore him."

"Mu Yan, you should go back now. Don't provoke my daughter any further." Mu Bai waved his hand, signaling Mu Yan to leave. Even if he was unwilling, he should leave now; staying here would only make him lose face.

Seeing that Mu Mu had listened to him, Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and then asked:

"Aren't you going to introduce your friends?"

"Ah, Uncle, hello. My name is Yan Ziming, and this is my younger sister, Ye Qianxue. She has been well taken care of by your daughter." Yan Ziming snapped out of his daze as an observer and quickly stepped forward to greet her.

"Hello, Uncle!" Ye Qianxue said sweetly.

"Alright, alright, I am Mu Mu's father, Mu Bai. Please make yourselves at home." Mu Bai said warmly.

He loved Ye Qianxue's voice; it was sweet, just like Mu Mu's when she was little. His first impression of Yan Ziming and the others was extremely good.

"Hello, Uncle." Qin Di also stepped forward to greet him. Qin Di had often accompanied Qin Tianhai when he came to visit before. Over time, the two had become quite familiar with each other. They didn't exchange any formalities and chatted casually for a few minutes before leading Yan Ziming and the others inside.

"Uncle, do you have any photos of Mu Mu when she was little? Could you show them to us?" Yan Ziming suddenly asked.

"I want to see too!" Ye Qianxue also became interested. She was particularly curious about what Mu Mu was like when he was a child, and whether there would be any differences compared to now.

Mu Mu glared fiercely at Yan Zimo and Ye Qianxue. With her father right beside her, she couldn't directly threaten Yan Zimo and the others, so she could only give them a warning look.

Yan Ziming completely ignored her.

"Yes, there are photos. They're in Mu Mu's room. I'll take you to see them in a bit."

It was a rare occasion for his daughter to come back, and she even brought friends with her. Mu Bai was incredibly hospitable when entertaining them, almost to the point of personally serving them tea and water.

"Speaking of which, I feel like I've seen you two sisters somewhere before." Mu Bai looked at Ye Qianxue's face, but couldn't quite place where he had seen her before.

"It's impossible to say you've never seen her before. Father, you saw her on TV just a while ago. Have you forgotten her so quickly?"

Mu Mu naturally put her arm around Yan Ziming's slender waist and took off the sunglasses Yan Ziming was wearing. Mu Bai still couldn't quite remember.

Mu Bai gave Yan Ziming a knowing look, and Yan Ziming helplessly spread his hands, a wisp of lightning appearing. Mu Bai immediately understood.

"Oh! You're the one who fought against the tyrant—!"

The strong are respected everywhere, even in the Mu family. The Mu family only has three seventh-level experts, and their combat strength is not as good as Yan Zimo's.

Mu Bai's tone became noticeably more polite:

"So it's Miss Yan Ziming! The video of you fighting the tyrant was absolutely amazing! Even I, an old man, was thrilled watching it!"

Yan Ziming scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"Uncle, you don't need to be so formal. Just call me Zimo."

"Just call me Qianxue!"

"Haha, it seems you've made some great friends outside, Mu Mu."

Mu Mu smiled meaningfully and said:

Who knows? Maybe they're more than just friends?

Yan Ziming blushed slightly and glared at her, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

Mu Bai didn't understand her daughter's subtext and simply took it as a secret between them.

How could he have imagined that his daughter, after wandering abroad for several years, had become a lesbian?

And the person who turned her gay was right next to her, chatting and laughing!

If he knew that Mu Mu liked Yan Ziming, Mu Bai wouldn't be so friendly towards Yan Ziming and the others.

For a while afterward, Mu Bai warmly entertained Yan Ziming and the others until evening, when they finally left amidst the pleas of Mu Mu's parents.

Chapter Thirty-One: The Invaders

"So Yan Ziming is here too... Seeing him face to face is definitely much better than in the video. We can't let outsiders have him. I'll have Muyun try him out tomorrow."

From a high vantage point in the Mu family mansion, Mu Yan watched Yan Zimo walk out of the residence and the thought arose in his mind that he should have Mu Yun take her in.

If a promising high-level superhuman can be recruited for the family, his status within the family will surely rise sharply—a highly profitable endeavor.

"That bastard Mu Yun, where did he go gallivanting off to last night? He's still not back!" Mu Yan cursed, exasperated.

......

"Your parents are so hospitable, they're nothing like someone else." Yan Ziming was enjoying her meal and drinks, and was impressed by Mu Mu's parents' polite and courteous manner.

After saying that, he gave Mu Mu a teasing look.

Yan Ziming took the lead in complaining, and Ye Qianxue naturally had to join in, saying:

"That's right, that's right. Master Sister is usually too inconsiderate. She should learn more from Uncle and Aunt."

"Do you think I'm not gentle enough or what? Well then I'll just be more 'enthusiastic' towards you from now on!"

Mu Mu deliberately emphasized the word 'enthusiastic', causing Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue to shudder.

"No need, it was just a joke~ Don't take it so seriously!" Yan Ziming couldn't stay calm and quickly caught up with Mu Mu.

Are you kidding me! Mu Mu is already being 'enthusiastic' enough to them. If she goes any further, wouldn't she be burning with passion?

"No, my decision won't change. You two sisters just wait for me when we get back!" Mu Mu hugged Yan Ziming tightly, the implication being clear to both Yan Ziming and her sister, except for Qin Di.

"Is the relationship between the eldest sister and Yan Ziming and the others a little too close?"

Qin Di was secretly puzzled, then shook his head, dismissing the thought.

This is probably what female best friends are like, right?

"Qin Di, you should go back first, we..."

Boom!!!

In the distance of the Beian Military Administrative District, a huge explosion occurred at a research institution, with flames shooting into the sky and turning the already fiery red sky as red as lava.

"Wow, what happened there?" Ye Qianxue exclaimed in surprise. The sudden explosion startled her so much that she hugged Yan Ziming tightly, though it was mostly just a groping gesture.

"What's so strange about that? That place was bombed yesterday, so it's not unusual for it to be bombed again now," Qin Di said nonchalantly.

A blush rose on Yan Ziming's face, and she chuckled dryly twice.

She was responsible for yesterday's explosion, though she can't entirely blame herself.

"I wonder if Jiang Lan is alright?"

Another explosion occurred in the laboratory, and it seemed to be quite significant. Yan Ziming couldn't help but worry about Jiang Lan's safety.

Without hesitation, she took out her phone and dialed Jiang Lan's number; she needed to confirm it herself before she could feel at ease.

However, while she was on the phone, she vaguely heard some strange noises coming from the direction of the research institution.

"Big sister, was that a gunshot?" Ye Qianxue asked, tugging at Yan Ziming's sleeve.

Gunshots?

Oh no, Jiang Lan is in danger!

Yan Ziming turned pale with fright and instructed Ye Qianxue:

"Qianxue, go back to the apartment first and check if Xiaoze is safe. Is Chiyan with you?"

Ye Qianxue patted her waist, which jingled, and said:

"Brought it."

Ye Qianxue carries this thing with her almost all the time. Its importance is also a state secret, and it must never fall into the hands of outsiders.

"Okay, load the ammunition, go back and keep watch on Xiaoze. Call me if everything's alright, Mu Mu—"

"We've been waiting for you, what are you yelling for!" Mu Mu had already torn open a spatial rift, grabbed Yan Ziming, and with her other hand lifted Qin Di and crawled inside.

Ye Qianxue didn't hesitate any longer; she had to complete the task her older sister had entrusted to her!

嘶拉

The sound of tattered cloth being torn echoed through the space, and Ye Qianxue disappeared within it.

......

After Yan Ziming arrived at her destination, a burst of bullets was directed at her, but it was blocked by the electromagnetic barrier released by Yan Ziming.

"Holy crap! What's going on?"

A fierce battle raged outside the research institute's gates, with two armed groups exchanging fire. One group was being pushed back by the overwhelming firepower, leaving behind a trail of corpses.

It was obvious that the group that had been routed was the invaders; most of them were a rabble, with only a small number being elites.

Even so, they still inflicted considerable casualties on China's defense forces.

The enemy force numbered several hundred and was scattered. Since this was an urban area, the military was hesitant to use heavy weapons, at most using shoulder-fired rockets or heavy machine guns. Tanks were out of the question, as they could easily injure civilians.

Inside the research facility, there were still some flickering lights, and figures could be seen fighting inside. The dazzling, unusual phenomena indicated that they were superhumans.

"Don't move! State your identities—"

Several fully armed special forces soldiers approached Yan Ziming and his companions. Facing the dark muzzles of their guns, Mu Mu calmly said:

"You don't even recognize me?"

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, then one of them shouted excitedly:
