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

"Hey, wait a minute, Sister Mo Sheng, give me the top three rewards first. I need to use them to exchange for other rewards."

Yan Ziming still had her eye on the twenty S-grade obsidian crystals that Mandala had promised, which she had pledged to exchange for regardless of her ranking. Now that she had achieved second place, she felt it was fair to use them to earn those crystals.

"Go back quickly."

"Yes, Qianxue."

Ye Qianxue understood, tore open a spatial rift, and disappeared with Yan Ziming from the spot.

Chapter 127 It's Not So Good Anymore

After winning the second-place prize, Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue headed straight for Mandala's location and knocked on the door.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in."

After receiving Mandala's permission, the diamond-encrusted gate, which was three meters high, opened by itself in front of Yan Ziming, with two bodyguards in black standing on either side of the gate.

Judging from Yan Ziming's direct impression, these two bodyguards were at least at a high level, either seventh or eighth level, and most likely not simple characters, but with real skills.

Damn capitalism!

Yan Ziming thought with envy, jealousy and hatred, "Even a door is studded with diamonds. How much wealth must have been obtained by plundering the people!"

"You guys... seem to be living a pretty comfortable life."

Looking at Mandala and Fia lying in the hospital bed receiving treatment from the therapist, Yan Ziming said with a slightly teasing tone.

"Thank goodness, I almost thought you wouldn't come back either. Thank you so much for everything you've done for us," Mandala said softly.

They were treating the aftereffects of their battle with the scorpions. With a high-level healer present, healing these was a piece of cake.

"Hahaha... No need for excessive praise. If there weren't so many Chinese tourists in the Seventh District, I wouldn't have worked so hard."

If the people inside were all citizens of the United States, it wouldn't be so bad to leave them to die, but Yan Ziming wouldn't be foolish enough to compare his own life with that of people from other countries. He would be doing a good job of stopping one or two SS-level mutated species for them.

"Please sit down," Fia said, gesturing to a few chairs nearby. Yan Ziming politely declined.

"No need, I'm just here to hand over some things, and I'll be going back to China soon."

"thing......"

Mandala's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she knew what Yan Zimo was talking about. She clapped her hands, and the people who had been waiting outside brought in a box and handed it to Yan Zimo.

"These are twenty-five S-grade obsidian stones. Don't lose them, okay? I won't be responsible if you do."

"Twenty-five?" Yan Ziming asked in surprise. Wasn't it supposed to be twenty? Why were they giving her more? Although she was happy to accept it, she didn't feel at ease taking it and didn't want to owe them a favor.

“This is extra compensation for you, as a thank you for drawing away that big bug,” Mandala replied.

"Oh dear, I can't possibly accept that..."

Yan Ziming scratched his cheek with one hand and said embarrassedly, while holding the suitcase tightly with the other hand, as if he had grasped the future in his hands.

"...Let's skip the formalities. Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'm going to take a nice afternoon nap."

"Yes, we've placed the items in the presidential suite of the Vena Hotel. You can send someone to pick them up anytime."

After saying that, Yan Ziming was about to have Ye Qianxue tear open a spatial rift to take her away when Mandala called her back.

"Wait, I have a question for you."

Yan Ziming watched her silently, waiting for her question.

"Do you know someone named Simo? She's probably around twelve or thirteen years old, do you remember her?"

"Silk foam?"

Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes. After confirming each other's answers, Yan Ziming replied, "I don't know him."

"Really? ...That's alright then. I hope our cooperation will be pleasant in the future."

Mandala lowered her eyes and said indifferently, seemingly not finding it particularly regrettable.

As the spatial rift opened and closed, Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue departed. Manchaluo waved her hand, signaling the servants to leave, including the healer, leaving only her and Fia behind.

"Gabu-chan, are we just going to let them go like that?" Fia asked immediately.

"We already have the answer."

"But that girl named Simo is clearly—"

“Their eyes weren’t lying; they genuinely didn’t recognize us… But that doesn’t stop us from continuing to befriend them, and we need this connection with her.”

Mandala gazed out the window indifferently, her eyes deep and lost in thought.

The extra five S-grade obsidian crystals weren't given to them for free; there was also an ulterior motive involved in fostering goodwill. Mandala had a deep-seated feeling that she wouldn't regret her decision.

........

United States, District 7 Military Airfield.

More than ten aircraft, both military and civilian, descended from the sky one after another. In the airport waiting area, a crowd of thousands of people gathered.

These are all contestants from China. The teams and many civilian superhumans who have made a name for themselves in this Civilization Cup are all here. In order to ensure their safe return home, the Chinese government specially sent several more planes to fly them all back at once.

As for security, there's not much to worry about. With three Tier 9s and one Sequence-level, the United States can't do anything on the return journey unless they launch nuclear weapons. No matter how many cruise missiles they send, it won't make a difference.

As for the possibility of using nuclear weapons?

Go ahead and start a human extinction plan! It's just nuclear weapons, they have them too!

Inside the cabin of the lead aircraft.

"Master Mo, could you please stop laughing so disgustingly? It's giving me goosebumps."

Tian Tian shuddered, disgusted by Yan Ziming's smile.

In fact, Yan Ziming's smile was not disgusting at all. On the contrary, it was as bright as a flower blooming in spring. Her beautiful face, her charming figure, her fair skin as delicate and smooth as the finest jade, and the faint fragrance that wafted over her made her seem like a perfect work of art, making people want to hold her in their arms and appreciate her.

In the eyes of all men, such a girl is the kind of perfect gem that you can never have too many of. As long as there is even the slightest possibility, they will try every means to hold her firmly in their hands.

However, while this is a rare and beautiful sight for outsiders, it is too jarring and uncomfortable for those who know her well, which is why Tian Tian says her smile is disgusting.

Yan Ziming's smiling face never stopped, and it all started because of the leather suitcase in his hand.

Yan Ziming had already checked what was inside. When it was opened, there was a large area of ​​orange crystals, which made Yan Ziming so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

What kind of wealth is contained here?

She has twenty-five S-grade obsidian stones, each one priceless and unavailable on the market. If she were to exchange them all for RMB, it would be enough for her to live on for a lifetime.

However, she wouldn't do something so foolish. Crystal cores are now a hard currency more valuable than gold in the apocalypse, and keeping them is much more worthwhile than exchanging them for money.

"Go away, how dare you talk like that! I'll shock you if you do! Qianxue, do you think my smile is disgusting?"

"Uh... this... that... Chiyuki thinks..."

Suddenly asked by Yan Ziming, Ye Qianxue, who also found Yan Ziming's smile a bit disgusting, looked at Mu Mu beside her, then at Tian Tian, ​​unsure of how to answer.

"OK, you don't need to answer, I already know the answer. How can you think my smile is disgusting when I'm such a beautiful woman? You guys have a problem with your aesthetic sense!"

"It's clearly your face that's cramping. Learn from your sister, smile more subtly. Do you understand what subtle beauty is?"

Yan Ziming was rebuffed by Mu Mu and said unhappily, "How I laugh is my own business. You don't know how to appreciate it, but plenty of other people are eager to do so!"

Mu Mu stood up: "Tch, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Come with me and let's do a mission."

"Huh? What kind of mission is this?" Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue were both stunned. They didn't understand what Mu Mu meant.

"What do you think Xian'er was doing when that mirage dragon first arrived?"

Yan Ziming was taken aback by what she said, and then suddenly realized.

—This is a fortune!

Yan Ziming suddenly felt that the twenty-five S-grade obsidian stones in his hand were no longer appealing; compared to the upcoming gains, they seemed rather dull.

Chapter 128 Earth Shattering Netherworld

Why wasn't Liu Mengxian there when Qing barged into the stadium?

Because she went to intercept other sequence-level mutated species that were eyeing Xiaoze, but there were always some stubborn guys who wanted to fight by force, making a major battle inevitable. In the end, she was killed, given Liu Mengxian's methods. This was not a difficult thing to do, and Yan Ziming was not surprised at all.

"Where is it?" Yan Ziming was already eager to try it out. She stood up and asked, as she wanted to confirm something.

"It's quite troublesome. In the occupied territories within the United States, we must move them all away without anyone noticing."

"Hmm, let's go find Uncle and hear about the battle plan first. Qianxue, you all stay here and behave yourselves."

Without further ado, Yan Ziming got up and went to the captain's cabin with Mu Mu. They met Mo Sheng, who was preparing to depart, with Huang Tao nearby. They had made all the necessary preparations and were just waiting for Yan Ziming and Mu Mu.

Isn't my uncle going?

“If the two seniors need to stay and guard this place, then the three of us—Mu Mu, you, and I—will suffice,” Mo Sheng replied.

Huang Tao gave her a meaningful look. "You haven't been back to Jiangning for several months, have you? You should go and visit while you still have time."

"What?" Yan Ziming looked puzzled, not understanding what Huang Tao meant.

"Let's go." With that, Mu Mu immediately hugged Yan Zimo and Mo Sheng tightly, and in an instant, she carried them into the void.

Their vision blurred, and a nauseating urge washed over them, though not intense and bearable. Accompanying this was a faint feeling of compression, the spatial pressure caused by Mu Mu rapidly traversing multiple rifts with them.

From the outside, all that could be seen was an inconspicuous silver light mixed in with the clouds above the blazing sun, which disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye without lingering for even a moment. Even the United States' most advanced observation equipment could hardly detect any anomalies.
