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

After hanging up the phone, Yan Ziming decided to go to the cafeteria to fill her stomach. After traveling for half a day and attending a meeting for more than two hours, even she was starving.

"But how do I get to the cafeteria..." Yan Ziming encountered a problem.

Just then, a person passed by Yan Ziming, and Yan Ziming reached out and grabbed the person's shoulder, "Hello comrade, could you tell me how to get to the canteen?"

"How come I keep running into you, you little cow, wherever I go..." The person Yan Ziming pulled turned around and said irritably.

"Hey, why is it you?"

Chapter Thirty: Pork Stew with Vermicelli

Yan Ziming stared in surprise at the person in front of her, who was none other than Lin Shuqi, who had just brought her immense humiliation.

Upon seeing that the person he had stopped was Lin Shuqi, Yan Ziming said with great disdain, "Tch—how come you can stop just anyone?"

The look of disgust on his face was so contemptible that everyone wanted to beat him up.

Seeing Yan Ziming's disdainful attitude, Lin Shuqi was a little annoyed. He had just called her "comrade" with a respectful expression, how did he suddenly turn into "Tch—it's you?" This change was too fast!

He changes his mind faster than turning the pages of a book.

Lin Shuqi was also quite unhappy. "You were the one who stopped me. What, you're asking for my help and you're still acting like this?"

Upon hearing her words, Yan Ziming looked at the list of participants in her hand with a strange expression, and the names of Lin Shuqi and her sister were clearly listed in her team.

"But you, is it really okay for you to talk to me like that?"

Lin Shuqi was baffled by Yan Ziming's question. Was this guy out of his mind? I was asking her, so why was he asking me instead?

"What, you haven't received any notification from the military yet?"

Lin Shuqi looked puzzled: "What notice?"

Seeing Lin Shuqi's dazed look, Yan Ziming realized that she wasn't joking; she genuinely didn't know!

With a slight smile, Yan Ziming turned and walked away, saying, "Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'll ask someone else~"

Lin Shuqi found her smile annoying, but she still stomped her foot and shouted, "Stop!"

"What brings you here?" The same unchanging smile answered Lin Shuqi.

"Although I don't know what bad ideas you're up to, I'll still mercifully tell you that the canteen is in the direction you just walked, it's about a few hundred meters straight ahead."

Lin Shuqi pointed in a direction, then, as if unwilling to admit defeat, poked Yan Ziming's ample chest with force before turning and running away.

Watching Lin Shuqi's departing figure, Yan Ziming rubbed his chest, which had been poked sore, and muttered, "Such a dishonest child..."

Yan Ziming originally planned to teach her a lesson when the operation started, making her call him "Captain Ziming" or "Lord Ziming" with a humiliated expression, and then shed tears of repentance. But now he thought better of it.

This is probably the extent that Yan Ziming could think of.

Shaking his head, Yan Ziming walked in the direction Lin Shuqi pointed.

"Ah, I see it, it's right in front of me."

After walking for about four or five minutes, Yan Ziming saw a canteen consisting of a dozen or so sunshades. The closer she got, the stronger the aroma became, and Yan Ziming, who was hungry, almost drooled at the smell.

"Holy crap, this smells like... braised pork with glass noodles? It smells so good!"

Yan Ziming quickened her pace; what could she do? She loved pork.

When Yan Ziming arrived at the canteen, the pork stew with vermicelli in the cooks' pot was almost gone.

"Comrade, could I have a serving of pork stew with vermicelli, please?"

"Alright! Here, take this."

"Thank you." He took the steaming hot lunchbox with both hands and even breathed on the rice noodles.

"So, where is Qianxue? Didn't that guy say she was in the cafeteria?"

Yan Ziming searched for a long time but couldn't find Ye Qianxue. The pork stew with vermicelli in his hand was almost cold. With no other choice, Yan Ziming could only find a place to eat by himself.

After just one bite, Yan Ziming's eyes widened. "Wow! This is even better than what I make!"

With this thought in mind, Yan Ziming began to eat heartily.

Five minutes later, the lunchbox was completely empty. Yan Ziming exclaimed:

"No wonder they're the most mysterious unit in China—the cookhouse! I'll definitely have to ask them how they do it later."

What a pity! It would be nice if there was beer.

Just as Yan Ziming was about to ask, her phone rang. It was Ye Qianxue.

"Hey, big sister, have you arrived yet? I can't see you anywhere."

It sounds like Ye Qianxue is having a lot of fun, and there are even some animal sounds coming from her side?

Yan Ziming said irritably, "That's what I was going to say. I arrived at the cafeteria early this morning, but I couldn't find you."

"Hehehe~ I was just in the woods behind the cafeteria." Ye Qianxue's embarrassed laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"What are you doing standing there? Don't move, I'm coming to find you."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and walked towards Ye Qianxue.

"Big sister, over here!"

When they had almost all left, Yan Ziming saw Ye Qianxue reveal half of her body and wave to him.

"Honestly, why did you have to choose a place like this? What's wrong with you...?"

Yan Ziming parted the bushes and saw a scene that shocked and angered her.

Chapter Thirty-One Strange Creatures

Yan Ziming was both shocked and furious, because Ye Qianxue was teasing a strange-looking creature in her arms.

You know, this forest has long since become a paradise for mutated species! There are no wild animals left in this forest, so what is Ye Qianxue holding? It can only be a mutated species.

In such a tightly guarded temporary base, it was obviously impossible for a mutated species to break in on its own. So there was only one possibility: Ye Qianxue ran out during her meeting!

Upon considering this possibility, Yan Ziming's expression turned somewhat grim—could it be that Ye Qianxue had broken her promise to her?

Seeing that Yan Ziming's complexion was not good, Ye Qianxue asked with some concern, "Big sister, what's wrong? You seem to be feeling unwell."

Seeing Ye Qianxue's worried expression, Yan Ziming's anger subsided by half, but she still criticized Ye Qianxue sternly: "Qianxue, where did you get this creature you're holding? Didn't I tell you not to go out?"

Ye Qianxue was frightened by Yan Ziming's tone. With a "woof," her eyes began to moisten, and her body trembled, making her look pitiful.

Seeing Ye Qianxue burst into tears at the drop of a hat, Yan Ziming was at a loss. He quickly stepped forward, put her down, and hugged her, saying in a comforting tone, "Hey? Don't cry, I was just worried about you."

The creature that was originally in Ye Qianxue's arms was sandwiched between four huge jade balls. Under constant pressure, it struggled and degenerated more and more, gradually losing itself.

However, Yan Ziming didn't have time to pay attention to this guy. Ye Qianxue's tears were like her weakness, making her anxious and restless.

"Qianxue, Qianxue didn't go out. This child ran in by itself. Qianxue has always kept her promise to protect her sister!" Ye Qianxue's sobbing voice came from her arms.

"I'm sorry, Qianxue, I was too hasty. I'm so sorry." Hearing Ye Qianxue's explanation and hearing her sobs, Yan Ziming felt even more ashamed and hugged Ye Qianxue even tighter.

After a while, the two felt something strange between their chests. Looking down, they saw that the little creature was still struggling, creating a wave of breast ripples.

Yan Ziming grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and lifted it out.

Having finally escaped the pressure of the two, the frightened little creature bared its teeth at her, which startled Yan Ziming so much that she threw it away.

Yan Zimo was also able to see its appearance clearly. It was a combination of a lion's head, deer antlers, tiger eyes, deer body, dragon scales, and ox tail. Its tail was hairy like a dragon's tail and had a horn with flesh.

Yan Ziming blinked. This looked so much like the descriptions in the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*... Where was the Qilin? It must be my imagination...

"Hey, Qianxue, why did this little thing come to you?" Yan Ziming asked Ye Qianxue, who was nestled in his arms.

The little head in my arms moved slightly, "Is it because of the pork stew with vermicelli? Probably..."

ha?

"Qianxue was just about to start eating when this guy jumped out and ate all my rice noodles. Qianxue is still hungry now."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ziming couldn't help but exclaim again, "As expected of the cooking squad! They can even fish out mythical beasts with their dishes!"

Yan Ziming walked over and reached out to touch its head. The creature, which resembled a Qilin, darted into Ye Qianxue's arms and stared intently at Yan Ziming.

Yan Zimo saw a look of apprehension in its eyes.

What's going on? Why does it seem so afraid of me? That doesn't make sense! Could it be hiding from me because I didn't feed it rice noodles?

Yan Ziming grinned, wondering if that really was the reason.

"By the way, Qianxue, did you say you haven't eaten yet? If you haven't, then you need to hurry up. We have an emergency deployment tonight, so don't be too hungry to fight."

Yan Ziming suddenly remembered that he had a mission to complete tonight.

Just as Yan Ziming had expected, Ye Qianxue immediately became unhappy, "Hey! How could you do this? Qianxue had already decided to do this and that to my older sister tonight!"

Yan Ziming was speechless upon hearing this. What did he mean by "this and that"?

She reached out her slender finger and lightly flicked Ye Qianxue's forehead: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and fill your stomach. It's getting late, so let's set off as soon as we finish eating."

"What about Qianxue's compensation?!"

"Postponed!"
