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

"In short, it is impossible to let them move freely. They must be imprisoned. Each person with mutations must be monitored by an ability user one level higher than him. One monitor can supervise multiple mutated individuals."

"I object," Zhou Ye spoke up again. "Even if one person can supervise multiple people, a sixth-level person needs a seventh-level person to monitor them, a seventh-level person needs an eighth-level person to monitor them, and an eighth-level person needs a ninth-level person to monitor them. Add to that the patrol team's organization, the manpower for various important facilities in the city, and most importantly, the four city walls, and we are severely understaffed!"

There are currently around 100 to 200 high-level superhumans in China, including more than 130 at the seventh level, more than 40 at the eighth level, and seven at the ninth level (including Xue Yunling). This is already the largest group in the world.

Even so, the low-end and mid-end combat power is still sufficient for the time being, but the high-end combat power is seriously insufficient!

You should know that there are far more sixth-tier ability users than seventh-tier ones!

"I suggest that for those personnel who are consuming too much high-end combat power, we should directly—"

"Don't take the narrow path," Bai He, who had been silent all along, spoke up:

"What I see is not just this. It is true that people with superpowers are the mainstream in the second round of changes, but they are only the mainstream. There are many undercurrents in places we cannot see. Once the people with superpowers are driven to a dead end, then we will have no room for maneuver."

Zhou Ye frowned: "...I still stand by my original opinion."

The Chinese leader promptly intervened: "Then we'll discuss this topic at the next meeting. Let's move on to the next one..."

Next, several people who could directly determine the future direction of China, and even the world, discussed for nearly forty minutes and clearly expressed their attitudes on several important issues.

"Okay, then the Ministry of National Defense press conference will be held in four days. On that day, we will announce the existence of the alienation phenomenon to the public. Is there anything else you would like to add?"

The Chinese leader stood up: "Very well, then the meeting is adjourned!"

He immediately turned off the holographic projection and began planning what would happen next.

"Oh, by the way, Mo Sheng, how's the reverse engineering of the 'Dome' project progressing?" Yan Shan suddenly asked.

Mo Sheng thought for a moment and realized that he had neglected this aspect recently. He said with remorse, "I will go and find out now and report back to you later."

"Okay, we must take this matter seriously and get it into service as soon as possible. That way, we'll have a much better chance of success."

The holographic projections were all turned off, and a meeting that would determine the future course of events officially came to an end.

Chapter Forty-Four: Crisis, Yet Opportunity

Mu Mu walked out of the conference room and dialed Yan Ziming's number directly. The call was answered quickly.

"Little Momo, where are you now?" she asked anxiously.

Yan Ziming left in such a hurry that she ignored the meeting chaired by Yan Shan and the others, leaving without even saying goodbye. It seems suspicious no matter how you look at it.

Considering the topics discussed at the time, it's very likely that someone close to Xiao Momo...

As she expected, Yan Ziming's answer was exactly what she had guessed, yet there was a crucial difference:

“I’m at Tian Tian’s house. She… has started to exhibit abnormal behavior, but I’ve managed to suppress it for now.”

"Suppression?" Mu Mu's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?"

"I've suppressed the mutation, probably because of my constitution..."

"I am going now."

After saying that, Mu Mu excitedly hung up the phone, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Suppressed! They actually suppressed it!

Does this mean that there is still a glimmer of hope for humanity that has not been completely extinguished?

Two seconds later, Yan Ziming looked at the spatial rift that had been torn open and then healed, and greeted the beautiful woman who was coming towards him.

"Hey, how's the meeting going?"

Mu Mu rolled her eyes: "You still have the nerve to say that? Luckily I smoothed things over for you, and they didn't ask any more questions, otherwise it wouldn't have been easy to handle. But I think with the wisdom of those old foxes, they should have figured things out to some extent."

".......Thanks."

"Hey, hey, Master Sister." Ye Qianxue tugged at Mu Mu's sleeve: "What...what did they say?"

Mu Mu gently hugged her:

"We've come up with a method that most ability users can accept: as before, we'll issue mandatory tasks to allow ability users to participate in the city patrol team. Well, to put it nicely, it's about doing tasks; to put it bluntly, it's another form of surveillance. If there's anything unusual about each other, we can detect it immediately, report it, and then bring it under control as soon as possible."

Yan Ziming pressed further, "Then what is their attitude towards the mutants?"

"..." Mu Mu was silent for a while before giving his answer: "For individuals who have completed the mutation and whose strength is so great that it is out of control, kill them directly."

“Is that so…” Yan Zimo lowered his eyes.

This can be considered a death sentence for mutants of the sixth rank and above.

Based on existing cases, after the sixth-order mutation, it becomes an S-level mutated species, which has entered the category of "powerful to the point of being uncontrollable".

Tian Tian, ​​who was next to her, happened to be on this death sentence list.

However, all of this is based on the premise that Tian Tian is undergoing a transformation. With Yan Ziming here, she would never allow this situation to happen.

Thinking of this, Yan Ziming's second question arose, and Mu Mu, as if reading her mind, answered it in advance:

“Those who begin to show signs of alienation are imprisoned directly and supervised by someone of a higher rank than the imprisoned.”

Yan Ziming remained silent for a long time before looking at her solemnly: "Mu Mu, I need to talk to you about something..."

“I won’t report it,” Mu Mu answered first. “I’m also very curious to see what you and she can go through.”

"...Just be frank and say you're on my side."

"Okay, okay, I'm on your side. Are you happier now?"

"Happy, very happy!"

Yan Ziming suddenly hugged her and whispered in her ear, "I'm so happy that I have no way to repay you but to offer myself to you..."

Mu Mu opened her eyes wide.

The next moment, Yan Ziming separated them, playfully closing one eye: "Hehe~~ Just kidding—"

"Ah—Big sister is so cunning! Qianxue wants some too!" Ye Qianxue protested, feeling dissatisfied, as she was sandwiched between four soft jade balls.

"Oh my, my dear disciple, are you also so happy that you want to repay me with your body?"

Mu Mu grinned mischievously as he restrained Ye Qianxue: "Little Momo has changed her mind, but you're not allowed to change your mind too."

"No, Qianxue... I didn't!" Ye Qianxue struggled, feeling the fear of losing her virginity!

Well, although she lost her virginity a long time ago.

"Ahem, alright, don't do this in front of the patient. They need to rest."

"Hmph, I'll let you go for now."

Mu Mu pinned Ye Qianxue against the wall like a domineering CEO, lifted her chin, and forced her to look at him: "Tonight, spend the night in my room."

"..." Ye Qianxue pushed her away in disgust and jumped onto Yan Ziming's back: "I'd rather go to my older sister's than go to yours!"

"Then I'll sneak over to Xiao Momo's place at night and make a sisterly rice bowl~~"

"Hey, even with the situation like this, are you still so thirsty?!" Yan Ziming shouted in fear.

"Oh, I was just kidding."

"I feel like you're serious..."

Yan Ziming muttered to himself, then suddenly remembered something: "Does any of you know where Xian'er went?"

Both of them shook their heads. Mu Mu thought for a moment and replied:

"I haven't seen her since she killed Qianchui in Sheng'an yesterday."

"Mu Mu... no, Qian Xue, go back to the hotel and see if she's there. If she is, bring her over."

"Ok!"

Ye Qianxue glanced furtively at Yan Ziming and Mu Mu before tearing open a crack and leaving.

"What do you plan to do?" Mu Mu looked at Tian Tian, ​​who was sleeping on the bed.

"In short, I don't feel comfortable handing her over to state authorities; it's safest for us to keep her under our care."

"You really are..." Mu Mu seemed to have anticipated Yan Ziming's decision, with an expression that said, "You've defeated me."

"Are you prepared? The Ministry of National Defense will hold a press conference in four days to publicly explain this incident. If you still want to protect her after that, you will be condemned by the public and may even face legal consequences if the truth comes out."

"Heh~~ The awareness and such has been there for a long time. This battle is not someone else's battle, but our own battle. So we must take control of our own destiny!"

A glint of lightning flashed in Yan Ziming's eyes. There was not a trace of retreat on her face. Just one glance was enough to dispel any confusion.

A short while later, Ye Qianxue returned.

"Big sister, Xian'er isn't at the hotel."

"Is that so..."

Yan Ziming sighed as if he had expected this: "Then, we'll have to figure out Tian Tian's situation ourselves..."

dong dong——

knocking.

With a premonition in his heart, Yan Ziming quickly went to open the door, where Liu Mengxian, who had disappointed Ye Qianxue, was standing.

"Xian'er!" Yan Ziming exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Mengxian didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and walked forward. Yan Ziming stepped aside to let her walk to Tiantian's side.
