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

But she simply couldn't resist the temptation, and after much deliberation, she said domineeringly, "Drink before you leave!"

"Hmm... whatever you want." Mu Mu covered her mouth and chuckled.

Drink and leave?

Sure, provided you can walk there.

Forget about it! Just stay here and play with me until you die! (Serious face)

How could Yan Ziming not understand Mu Mu's thoughts? Impossible! She understands Mu Mu better than anyone!

There's probably something wrong with this bottle of wine, but Yan Ziming isn't worried. The extremely high temperature inside her body can evaporate the alcohol, as well as any other substances, in an instant.

From this perspective, half of all assassination methods in human history have failed to work on her.

"Open the bottle! Why let it get cold?"

Mu Mu took out an expensive wine glass from the wine cabinet and placed it on the table. However, she noticed that Yan Ziming was just standing there with the wine bottle, looking embarrassed.

She still needs this bottle of wine for her plan! What if Yan Ziming refuses to open it? Wouldn't her plan fall through?

"I don't know how to drink this... Is there any particular etiquette involved in drinking this expensive wine?"

"Oh, so that's what you're worried about. Don't worry, there's nothing special about it. Just drink it the way you usually do."

Mu Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He flicked the bottle at a 45° angle from below the rim, sending the rim flying. The cross-section was smooth as a mirror, with not a single shard spilling out.

"What are you looking at?"

Yan Ziming blushed, "It's nothing... it's just that it's the first time I've seen someone open a bottle of red wine like that, it's a bit of a disillusionment..."

"Tch, there are plenty of things you haven't seen!"

Mu Mu picked up the wine bottle and poured about two fingers' width of red wine into the glass in front of her. The wine was so vibrant that Yan Ziming swallowed hard.

"Huh? Where's my cup? Why is there only one?"

Yan Ziming was annoyed when he realized that Mu Mu had only brought one cup.

"Don't rush me~~"

Mu Mu stuck out her fragrant tongue and licked her increasingly prominent cherry lips.

"Didn't you say this wine is a high-end product that money can't buy? Then we should naturally use a high-end way of drinking it that money can't buy to appreciate its taste."

"You just said there's no particular rule about drinking this stuff..."

"That was just now! Now I'll demonstrate for you."

After saying that, Mu Mu picked up the glass of wine on the table, brought it to her lips and took a small sip. However, she did not rush to swallow it. Instead, under Yan Zimo's surprised gaze, she straddled her and gently kissed her lips.

The warm, fragrant wine, carried along their intertwined tongues, traveled to another point...

Yan Ziming instinctively wrapped his arms around Mu Mu's neck, pulling her even closer to him. The two stunning beauties, inseparable, embraced and kissed passionately...

A few seconds later, Mu Mu raised his head, looking at her with a dreamy gaze and an alluring charm that could captivate anyone: "Now do you understand? This is a way of drinking that money can't buy~~"

"Hmm...not bad."

Yan Ziming commented, blushing.

I still got tricked by this woman...

She originally said she would leave after finishing her drink, but once she finishes drinking it this way, will she still be able to leave?

Or rather... are you still willing to leave?

Of course I wouldn't want to part with it.

This woman laid out a vast net, slowly dragging her into the abyss of desire, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. The moment she tasted the first flavor, it marked the beginning of her descent...

As the moon disappeared behind the clouds, Bei'an City was shrouded in darkness.

But for some, the nightlife is just beginning...

Chapter Sixty-One Clues

Chapter 61

The next day.

Bei'an Military Administrative Region, Sheng'an City.

Li Hao, sitting in this forefront city along the coast, was watching the military reports coming back from the Southern Guangdong Military Administrative Region, his eyes showing delight.

Amidst the densely packed reports, there was a line of text that, though not particularly eye-catching, clearly caught Li Haoyi's attention.

"He entered the ocean and killed an SSS-level mutated species, suspected of being on the verge of transforming into a Sequence-level being. The mutated species' offensive has been contained... As expected of a marshal!"

Excitedly slapping his thigh, Li Hao felt for the first time that the land of China was truly safe and sound.

The ocean is their domain, and Yan Shan's ability to kill a being on the verge of transforming into a Sequence-level being within it is truly astonishing.

However, Li Haoyi's brows still showed signs of worry.

The initial results regarding the human losses from this massive tsunami that swept across the entire Pacific Ocean have been obtained, and the details are all in this report.

Let's start with the Chinese side.

The Southern Guangdong Military Administrative Region achieved a great victory. In the Bei'an Military Administrative Region, Sheng'an City was far enough from the coastline, more than 40 kilometers away, that people could hardly see the sea. Apart from a significant increase in the number of mutated species roaming nearby, everything else was safe and sound.

However, the results are not so favorable when viewed on a global scale.

Some small coastal countries that did not evacuate into the territory of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council saw their entire countries destroyed overnight; those that were on the verge of collapse were also wiped out one after another in the subsequent wave of mutated species.

Then there are the four major powers besides China. Russia, due to its vast territory and lack of bases along its coast, is in a better position than China.

The United States suffered losses to varying degrees, and the losses were considerable. A city was completely destroyed, its walls collapsed, and countless people were killed or injured, resulting in widespread devastation.

That city was the very city where they had taken in residents of other countries. In an instant, countless people died or were injured, the blood stained the sea red, and the waves crashed onto the land, raging twice, sweeping away countless cars, debris, bricks, and corpses.

The tsunami was incredibly powerful, but after being partially blocked by numerous buildings and city walls, there were still a relatively large number of survivors in the city, about three-fifths of its peak population.

However, what followed the tsunami was an attack on the city by mutated species, which almost drove the survivors to the brink of despair.

However, a dazzling bolt of lightning struck from the sky, instantly wiping out all the mutated species within a radius of several kilometers that were about to flood in. For the next half day, the sky remained dark and gloomy, with countless bolts of lightning striking down, clearing out the mutated species that had already entered the city. This allowed the city to preserve its flame, establish a temporary defense line, and hold on for the time being.

"This must be the work of that person. One person can be worth more than a city... no, a country... The methods of such a person are truly beyond our imagination."

Li Hao threw the report on the table and let out a sigh from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for Liu Mengxian's help, I'm afraid the countries would have had to form a joint legion to help them recapture the city.

Compared to this, Yan Shan's record pales in comparison to this report.

Apart from China, Russia, and Europe, which were not affected by the tsunami, the other five permanent members of the UN Security Council suffered enormous losses, which is definitely not a good sign given the current situation.

And then there's the issue of alienation... it's still a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of all nations, severely weakening their high-end combat capabilities.

To date, there are seventeen Rank 8 ability users worldwide, which is almost equivalent to half of China's Rank 8 combat power!

Thirteen of them were not successfully treated and became SSS-level mutants. Two of them were from China, and one was from each of the other four permanent stations. All of them have been eliminated.

The remaining seven were all eighth-tier ability users from small countries, and they were among their few top combat forces. After becoming SSS-level mutants, they wreaked havoc on the spot and disappeared into the vast land. It cannot be ruled out that they might evolve into Sequence-level beings.

In addition, two members of the Ninth Order were lost: Zhou Ye from China and the one from India.

In addition, more than seventy seventh-tier beings were lost worldwide, further weakening the human side's strength.

Sixty percent of the world's seventh-tier warriors are concentrated in the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, with the rest scattered around the world. This tsunami has wiped out nearly 20% of the seventh-tier warriors. If we include those below the seventh tier, humanity's overall combat strength has been weakened to a considerable degree.

We must abandon the gloating mentality we have when we see other countries suffering huge losses. Now we should unite the strength of all mankind to overcome this crisis. Divide and conquer will only lead to our demise.

"On the day of the negotiations, those guys at Odyssey will have to bleed a lot of blood!"

Li Haoyi hardened his heart. The date for the negotiations had been tentatively set for two days later. The location was yet to be determined, but it would definitely not be within Odyssey's territory. Whether they would even allow people from various human countries to enter was now a question.

The human side's objective is to give Odyssey no extra time to prepare and to catch them off guard at the negotiating table!

At that moment, he received a call from one of his subordinates.

"We've found a clue!"

Li Hao stood up abruptly, his back ramrod straight, his eyes serious. "Come to me right now... no, wherever you are, I'll come straight to you!"

...........

"Where's the clue?"

Li Hao slammed the door shut as he entered, revealing his excitement. He finally had a lead on the person who could potentially reverse the alienation situation, and humanity's defenses would be further strengthened.

The major in front of him saluted him, and then told a soldier sitting behind him to stand up.

The major explained to him, "Yesterday, I specifically questioned the soldiers who rushed to the scene to provide rescue, and you know what? I actually got some clues out of them!"

"Tell me," Li Hao said, stroking his chin with one hand, looking like he was all ears.

The major gestured to the soldier beside him, who then saluted Li Haoyi.

"Sir, my name is Zhang Decai, and my rank is Second Lieutenant. On the day of the incident, I was ordered to go to the rescue. I found a little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, in the building that was housing the mutated people. My teammates and I all saw her, and I was the one who took her out in the end."

A glint flashed in Li Hao's eyes. "Do you remember what she looked like?"

"Uh... I'm not really good at describing it, it's so cute...?"

Lieutenant Zhang was stunned, and it took him a long time to come up with this word.
