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

……

"Achoo! Who's nagging me... Could it be Qianxue? Or Mumu? Or some beast who's eyeing me?"

Yan Ziming sneezed while walking in the dense forest, which was rather strange.

As a high-level superhuman, although his physical condition is not immune to all poisons, he hasn't had a cold or sneezing for a long time.

"Mo Xin, are we not here yet?" Yan Ziming said with a sigh.

She had never experienced such a frustrating period in her life. She had to be careful wherever she went, fearing that some unknown danger might emerge from some unknown place.

The longer it dragged on, the more uneasy she became. With Mu Mu's strength, protecting herself was no problem at all, but Ye Qianxue was only at the sixth level, which Yan Ziming considered extremely difficult, or even insufficient.

"What's the rush? There's still a long way to go! Look how slowly you were walking just now." Little Mo Xin pointed out a new direction for her, who had strayed from the path, and said calmly.

"Qianxue... wait for me, sister, I will definitely find you!"

Yan Ziming didn't care about the danger anymore, and mustered up her strength to speed up and run in the direction Mo Xin had pointed out.

The speed increased, but the number of times they encountered danger also rose sharply. In just ten minutes, Yan Ziming was attacked by mutated species eight times, but he ignored them, disappeared into the mist, and the mutated species could not catch up with him.

"If I had known it would be so convenient, I would have run like this from the beginning."

This fog is very useful. It's not just Yan Ziming who can't see or hear; the mutated species are the same. As long as they are fast enough, they can completely avoid danger before it comes.

It can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

Without any warning, Yan Ziming, who was speeding along, suddenly found a living being a few meters in front of him. Unable to stop in time, Yan Ziming was thrown away along with the living being.

"Ouch—Ptooey, ptooey, that hurts... Which bastard is it!" The life form that appeared out of nowhere propped itself up, spat out two mouthfuls of saliva, as if spitting out mud and leaves from its mouth, and said angrily in a delicate voice.

She escaped through the spatial rift because she saw that Barol's strength exceeded her expectations, so how come she was bumped into as soon as she came out?

Ye Qianxue rubbed her sore shoulder, then stared intently at the person beneath her, wanting to see which ungrateful bastard dared to bump into her.

Their eyes met, and before them stood a lovely girl who looked exactly like her, only with a more mature demeanor.

"Big sister..." Ye Qianxue's mouth opened slightly, unable to believe that the person who bumped into her was actually the big sister she had been looking for.

Yan Ziming sat up, gently embraced Ye Qianxue, and said with a hint of anger.

How did you know I was here? If you knew, why didn't you come looking for me sooner!

"I...I just..." Ye Qianxue recounted what she had experienced in fits and starts, and Yan Ziming finally felt relieved.

It has to be said that Ye Qianxue's luck is truly extraordinary; she even managed to stumble upon a random teleportation.

Perhaps "fate" would be a more accurate description?

only...

Yan Ziming suddenly pinned Ye Qianxue down, pinched her cheeks, and said, "Didn't you just call me 'bastard'?"

"Ah! Uh... well... it doesn't matter how you treat Chiyuki, big sister... just be gentle..."

"..."

"Zi Mo, hang in there! We're in the middle of nowhere, what if someone sees us?!" Mo Xin cried out anxiously in her mind.

Little goblin!

Yan Ziming instantly snapped back to reality, his mind reeling for a moment. He almost couldn't resist pressing Ye Qianxue down and doing something indecent in the wild.

Tch, if it weren't for the urgent matters waiting for her to resolve, Yan Ziming would have executed her on the spot!

"You little wildcat, can't you get your sense of the situation before causing trouble? Get up!"

Yan Ziming pulled Ye Qianxue up from beneath him, dusted himself off, and seeing the slightly disappointed look on her face, said with a "I really can't do anything with you" expression, "Now is not the time. I'll teach you a lesson when we get back!"

"Eh?! Hmm..." Ye Qianxue's face flushed slightly as she took Yan Ziming's hand and slowly walked forward.

"Wow—Zimo, you're so shameless! You clearly wanted to do this, but you're acting so unwilling!"

Mo Xin's tone inevitably carried a hint of disdain. She could clearly sense that Yan Ziming was in a state of heightened excitement, and she was ashamed that she could say such things without batting an eye.

"Mind your own business! Go back and continue to observe me!" Yan Ziming said irritably. The little girl was always undermining her, but luckily no one else could hear her.

On the way there, Yan Ziming recalled everything Ye Qianxue had described to her.

"You said the other party is a high-level ability user? Were you hurt by him?" Yan Ziming anxiously touched her all over, and Ye Qianxue said "no" with a blush on her face, and Yan Ziming was relieved.

—It feels so good to be able to take advantage of someone!

Yan Ziming thought to himself shamelessly.

As for that guy Barol who said he came here because of a plane crash, believe it if you want. The first thing Yan Zimo would do when he sees him is to burn off his blond hair!

"I think they're here to take our things, so we need to hurry."

Yan Ziming pondered for a moment, feeling a slight unease. The previous anomaly was definitely related to these guys.

After saying that, she simply picked up Ye Qianxue and sped away following Mo Xin's guidance, just like before. Soon, the fog became even thicker, to the point where you couldn't see your own hand in front of your face.

This is a good omen. The closer they get to the source, the thicker the fog becomes, proving that Yan Ziming's route is correct.

Furthermore, the fog was still flowing outward at a high speed, indicating that the source was not far from her.

It seems that it's not impossible for this operation to end so simply?

nonexistent.

Yan Ziming slowed her pace, and suddenly heard the reminder Mo Xin had given her:

"Stop! There's someone ahead! Very powerful, extremely powerful!"

Chapter Sixty-Five: Escape

Mo Xin's reminder immediately raised Yan Ziming's vigilance to the highest level. For a little girl who had followed Liu Mengxian for a long time and was very knowledgeable to use the word "extremely powerful," she must not be a simple person, someone that Yan Ziming could not match.

Not daring to even whisper, Yan Ziming gestured for Ye Qianxue to be quiet. The latter nodded knowingly and shut her mouth as if holding her breath, which made Yan Ziming feel completely bewildered.

The fog was still so thick, and the ability of the superhumans to perceive things had dropped to the extreme. Especially in the current situation where they couldn't see or hear and were always getting lost, they were even more vulnerable than ordinary people outside.

"Mo Xin, can you sense his exact location?"

"Yeah, no problem!"

In Mo Xin's perception, there were a total of five people at the scene, divided into three small groups. Three people were alone, and two people were standing together. Among them, the one Mo Xin pointed out was very powerful, and he was one of the two people.

"That person's strength is at least at the peak of the eighth rank, and possibly even the ninth rank. Zimo, you must be careful," Mo Xin warned.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ziming felt a chill run down his spine. If he were discovered, he would likely be in trouble. However, the fog was his best cover, and he also had the little girl Mo Xin to detect the people around him, otherwise she would have been discovered long ago.

"Please find a way to get around them, Mo Xin."

"No, it's too dangerous. There are too many variables, and there's a high chance you'll be discovered! I think we should retreat first, and then..."

Yan Ziming couldn't find a way to refute it. Mo Xin's words made a lot of sense. If the opponent was only at the eighth level, they could still put up a fight.

Moreover, Ye Qianxue's safety was still in her hands, so she couldn't rashly do something so risky.

"Alright... let's retreat for now and wait until we get what we need from Uncle and the others..."

"Meow, meow~~"

As if he had discovered some priceless treasure, Xiao Ze poked his little head out from Ye Qianxue's chest and excitedly barked twice.

"Xiao Ze, you little rascal!" Yan Zimo hurriedly covered its mouth, but immediately felt relieved.

The sound couldn't travel very far in the fog, and the nearest person to them was about thirty meters away, so it was impossible for them to hear it.

However, things rarely go as planned.

"Zi Mo, they're here!"

Mo Xin suddenly said anxiously, "That person who looks like a ninth-level being is walking slowly towards us. He has probably discovered us!"

"Huh? That's impossible, isn't the sound supposed to be unable to travel...?"

Yan Ziming stared wide-eyed at Xiao Ze. As an auspicious beast, this creature's cry was certainly not ordinary. Last time, in the deep mountains of Yongjing, it attracted the attack of the Grim Reaper.

This time will probably be the same; the fog may not be able to block out its sound...

Big fat cat, I'll settle the score with you when we get back!

Cursing under his breath, Yan Ziming picked up Ye Qianxue and started running. They hadn't run far when they felt a layer of mucous membrane-like energy fluctuation sweep over them. Yan Ziming exclaimed that something was wrong.

A transparent, invisible giant hand pierced through the endless mist, reaching out to grab Yan Ziming and the others. Accompanying this was a mental disorientation and an extremely terrifying pressure!

"Roar—" Xiaoze seemed to want to make amends, and roared loudly with great energy. His transparent hand trembled violently, and his body almost collapsed.

"Hmm? What a strange sound!"

The transparent giant hand eventually disintegrated because it could no longer maintain its form, and Yan Ziming could hear the energy that made up the giant hand emitting such a thought.

This is a spiritual transmission; the meaning can be conveyed without speaking.

The decomposed energy condensed again, forming a transparent spear. Its sharpness pierced Yan Ziming's skin, causing his entire body to tremble.

This is not a competition on the same level!

There's no mistake, it was definitely a ninth-tier figure who attacked her, and a mental one at that!

The gap is too big. The other side is only launching a probing attack. They haven't used their full strength yet, but they've already forced them into a corner with nowhere to run.

"That was well done, Xiao Ze. Keep it up and give him a few more hits!" Yan Ziming cursed in a low voice. It was the one who caused the trouble, so it was naturally the one who had to solve it.
