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

"..."

------Dividing line------

Because all the security doors were open, Yan Ziming easily reached the third underground level and then walked around it.

She had already cleared out all the mutated species on the upper level. She planned to clear out the third level as well before picking up the five researchers, so that the potential danger could be controlled to a relatively safe level.

While Yan Ziming was killing the mutated species, he kept thinking about the artificial crystal.

The crystal was synthesized using Ozawa's blood, and Ozawa is currently with her. Will the military come looking for Ozawa to take her back?

This is absolutely a possibility, and Yan Ziming must be prepared to deal with the military's explanation. If Xiaoze is really taken away by the military, Ye Qianxue will definitely be heartbroken.

"But we should at least wait until we recapture the Yongjing Military Administrative Region before we come looking for them, so let's..."

While deep in thought, Yan Ziming extended his thoughts to the destruction of the Yongjing Military Administrative Region.

If Ozawa's blood is so precious and has such a fatal attraction for those with superpowers, what about for mutated species?

Upon realizing this, Yan Ziming's body trembled violently!

If this conjecture is correct, then the disaster in Yongjing Military Administrative District was very likely brought about by Ozawa!

Taking it in is like taking in a time bomb that could explode at any moment, and one that could blow up an entire military administrative region.

But this is also a bit strange. Xiaoze has been taken in by them for some time now, but the mutated species have not launched a full-scale attack on them.

"What could be the reason...?" Yan Ziming was completely baffled. She began to consider whether to talk to Yan Shan about it and see what his opinion was before making a decision.

"Forget it, let's think about these things when we get back. The most important thing right now is to save lives."

After eliminating the last mutated species in his field of vision, Yan Ziming headed towards the quarantine zone.

He waved at the camera, gave an OK sign, and the security door slowly opened.

Yan Ziming walked into the quarantine area, and five people, three men and two women, came to her. One of them was Jiang Lan, who had just had a video call with her.

"Hey, beautiful, nice to meet you." One of the men, wearing glasses, whistled at Yan Ziming, his expression somewhat frivolous.

But Yan Ziming ignored him and went directly to Jiang Lan:

"Is everyone here?"

She needed to double-check, so as not to forget anyone and have to go back herself.

Jiang Lan glanced at the somewhat embarrassed bespectacled man and said with a smile:

"Yes, everyone's here."

"Let's go."

Yan Ziming didn't bother to find out their names or identities. Her mission was simply to find these few people. To put it bluntly, after completing this mission, they would never see each other again.

Warning No. 113

Just as he was about to step outside, Jiang Lan took out a piece of clothing and handed it to Yan Ziming:

"Here are the clothes you wanted. Try them on and see if they fit."

Yan Ziming took the clothes and spread them out. It was a white long-sleeved shirt, the same style as the ones they were wearing.

"Yeah, that feels good."

The clothes fit perfectly, with the hem reaching Yan Ziming's knees, completely covering her long, white legs and only revealing a section of her fair calves, which made the three male scientists feel somewhat disappointed.

"That's much warmer, thank you."

The large coat blocked out most of the cold outside, and Yan Ziming, who was shivering from the cold, was very satisfied with the coat, which made her tone of voice even more pleasant.

"I always feel like I'd look much more knowledgeable if I wore glasses..."

Yan Ziming imagined herself wearing glasses, sitting in a chair with her legs crossed. She didn't feel the erudite atmosphere; instead, she exuded a queenly aura that would definitely make a bunch of masochists bow down in submission.

Setting aside this pointless fantasy, Yan Ziming addressed the five people:

"When you go out later, make sure you don't leave within five meters of me, or I won't be able to protect you."

"Does that mean we're absolutely safe within five meters?"

Another woman spoke up. She had an oval face with a few freckles and was quite cute, but Yan Ziming always felt that her tone was a bit nitpicky.

Well, you could say that.

The maximum deployment distance of its electromagnetic barrier is about seven meters, so protecting them is not difficult. As long as the mutated species are not too strong, there should be no problem.

"You seem quite confident, don't you?"

This time, Yan Ziming could clearly hear that the woman harbored hostility towards her.

"Ahem, then I'll leave it to you then; Ling'er, don't say anything more!" A man stepped in to smooth things over, then whispered to the woman.

"But Ming-ge...!"

Even though he spoke very softly, Yan Ziming could still hear what he was saying.

Ling'er? Ming-ge? Judging from these nicknames, are these two dating?

After they talked for a while, the woman named Ling'er snorted unhappily and looked at Yan Ziming with a very unfriendly gaze.

I haven't done anything to her, so why is she suddenly hostile towards me? Could it be... jealousy?

Superhumans' intuition is always very accurate. Yan Ziming had already guessed most of it. The woman was indeed jealous of Yan Ziming, not for any other reason than Yan Ziming's beauty.

What a charming and beautiful woman she is!

The moment she entered, she drew their attention. The two male colleagues stared intently at Yan Ziming, as if they wanted to devour her.

Even her boyfriend would occasionally glance at Yan Ziming, his eyes filled with emotions he never showed when facing her.

Moreover, her boyfriend had just spoken up for Yan Ziming, so it would be strange if she were in a good mood under these circumstances. In her mind, Yan Ziming was playing the role of a vixen.

Yan Ziming shrugged. She was from a completely different world than him. What did he care what she thought? He figured she wouldn't dare to openly oppose him. If she was going to be dissatisfied, he could just shut her down!

Yan Ziming led them slowly toward the exit after directing them to move within five meters of him.

At this point, the benefits of Yan Ziming clearing out the mutated species here beforehand became apparent. They encountered no obstacles along the way and returned to the first floor smoothly. Once they got out of here, they could be taken back safely.

However, Yan Ziming suddenly frowned, his expression showing some displeasure.

It wasn't because more than a dozen zombies and blue-faced ghouls had appeared in front of her, but because Yan Ziming could feel that the men's gazes had been constantly lingering on her since the beginning, and they were intentionally or unintentionally moving closer to her under the pretext of avoiding leaving her within five meters.

It seems we need to give them a warning, otherwise they'll really think they can get away with taking advantage of us so easily.

Yan Ziming ignored the mutated species rushing towards them, letting them reach the three male researchers. He silently reduced the range of the electromagnetic barrier, while leaving the range unchanged for the two women.

"ah--!"

Three male researchers were terrified when a zombie almost touched them before being stopped by a pale blue barrier.

"What's going on? I'm keeping the same distance from them, so why are they so close to Doflamingo and the others?"

The girl named Ling'er found the situation with the three male researchers strange. She was clearly the same distance from Yan Ziming as they were, so why couldn't the mutated creatures get close to her?

Jiang Lan's lips curved into a smile. She had figured out what Yan Ziming was planning. Then, she "feared" so much that she practically clung to Yan Ziming, her terrified expression looking incredibly realistic to others.

Suddenly, two soft mounds pressed against his back, and Yan Ziming almost lost his composure. The electromagnetic barrier disappeared for a moment, and the mutated species got even closer to the three male researchers, scaring them into screaming again.

Yan Ziming quickly turned around and gave Jiang Lan a strange look, as if blaming her for suddenly getting close and scaring him.

Jiang Lan gently stroked Yan Ziming's pretty face and whispered in her ear:

"Necessary deterrence is certainly acceptable, but it should be used within limits."

Yan Ziming's heart skipped a beat, wondering if she had been too obvious, but she still pretended to be calm and said:

"What do you mean by that?"

Jiang Lan chuckled softly:

"Little sister, you're so cute~ Has anyone ever told you that you're not suited to lying? The answer is written all over your face."

It's the same thing again!

How many times has this happened recently? Yan Zimo really doesn't want to complain about her inability to lie.

"Since you know the reason, why are you still speaking up for them?"

Yan Ziming simply stopped trying to hide it, since she figured she'd be exposed no matter what she did, and said in a defiant tone.

"They are all people who are obsessed with research..."

"What's the meaning?"

Yan Ziming was completely confused; what was she trying to say?

"People who immerse themselves so completely in their research are often the most easily influenced by external factors..."

Jiang Lan's voice became alluring:

"Not just them, even I felt a flutter in my heart when I saw you, little sister... Would you mind telling me your name?"

Hearing such a shocking statement, Yan Ziming blushed.

When did there become so many lesbian women in this world? And of such high quality at that? I have three around me, and maybe more...

However, it must be said that Jiang Lan has a great figure and looks. Although she is not as beautiful as me, she is still one in a million. Her years of service as a section chief in the research institute have cultivated a unique temperament. She is a mature and elegant beauty.
