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

As he tossed Murong Haiyi into the car, he muttered these words. Yan Ziming smiled upon hearing this and replied, "I'll beat you to a pulp then."

Only then did she return to her own home.

The next morning, a special guest arrived at Yan Ziming's home.

"Oh, I heard you're going to the occupied territories outside to gain experience?"

As soon as the door opened, Li Haoyi's face, beaming with a cheerful smile, greeted Yan Ziming. Without even thinking, Yan Ziming knew why he had come to see him.

Most of the time, it's about doing ideological work with her.

If the strongest combatant below the ninth rank suddenly leaves, he, as a military personnel, naturally cannot sit idly by and will do his best to persuade him to stay.

"Yeah, I'm leaving."

"...Take care."

Unexpectedly, Li Haoyi seemed to realize that nothing he said would make a difference and simply said it like that.

"Well, goodbye. I hope that when we meet again, I will have reached the same level as you."

"I look forward to it."

After seeing Li Hao off, Yan Ziming went to the balcony, where Ye Qianxue was already prepared and waiting for her.

Yan Ziming held Ye Qianxue in his arms, gazing into the distance on the balcony. His eyes were fixed on one direction, as if flames were burning in them, igniting everything around him.

Western Tibet... I'm here!

1. Newcomer

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

dong dong——

Xiaoqi had lost count of how many times the door had been knocked on. Helpless, she opened the door to find a group of seemingly ordinary people waiting outside. In reality, they were high-ranking superhumans from a secret military department, sent to take her away.

"Xiao Qi, I'll have to trouble you again today."

"...Can't you give me a day off? If you keep coming here every day, how am I supposed to live?"

Xiaoqi complained to them that her academic career had been devastated ever since the success of the first experiment.

During this time, she saved five high-level superhumans from China, one of whom advanced to the eighth level, much to the delight of the higher-ups.

If it weren't for concerns about potential side effects on Xiao Qi, China would have already gathered all the mutated individuals together for Xiao Qi's treatment. Furthermore, due to concerns about confidentiality, this plan was difficult to implement.

"It will only take up two hours of your time each day, and it will decrease over time, so please cooperate."

"I don't care, I'll talk to your boss about this. If you keep bothering me like this, don't contact me again!"

"Okay, I'll report it..."

The leader smiled wryly.

He had to take Xiaoqi's opinion seriously, as it was something his superiors had instructed him to do; her importance alone was equivalent to that of all of them combined.

Moreover, the person standing behind this little girl is... basically equivalent to the entire country of China. Any one of them could cause a major earthquake in the whole country with just a stomp of their foot. They cannot be taken lightly at all.

After a brief moment of preparation, Xiao Qi said indifferently, "What is today's goal?"

"Ah, a seventh-tier ability user, and their ability is..."

...........

China, Tibet West Province, a "deep red" level occupied area.

Even before the apocalypse, modern cities were extremely rare here; the landscape was predominantly natural.

Here you'll find boundless wilderness, vast and magnificent gravel deserts, and towering mountains that seem to stretch to the horizon.

At the same time, this place is also a death trap; only those with truly great power can survive on this land.

Numerous bizarre and grotesque creatures, in all sorts of unbelievable postures, slowly traversed this desolate and endless wilderness, occasionally glancing back to look around with ferocious expressions and blood dripping from their mouths. The entire wilderness exuded a nauseating atmosphere of carnage.

However, in this vast wilderness, atop a high mountain, two beautiful women appeared, and the air suddenly became fresh and vibrant.

These are two sisters who look almost identical, differing only in height. Their inner qualities are different: one is more mature and charming, while the other is more gentle and cute. Together, they complement each other perfectly, making them a match made in heaven.

"This is... the real death trap!"

The more mature one tilted her head slightly, her long, flowing black hair cascading down her back like black wings unfurling on fresh snow, incredibly alluring.

She straightened her upper body, gazing into the distance, her slender waist curving into an extremely sexy arc. Below her waist were her pert, jade-like buttocks and her perfectly proportioned, shapely legs, encased in black stockings adorned with exquisite floral embroidery, exuding a silent allure. Her snow-white, smooth skin was faintly visible.

"Qianxue, from now on, all your actions must be reported to me. You are not allowed to act on your own initiative in any way."

The woman gave instructions to the girl next to her who was slightly shorter than her.

The girl named Qianxue was dressed similarly to the woman next to her, and her figure was equally voluptuous, with curves in all the right places. However, on her two straight and slender legs, she wore a pair of glossy white stockings that were slightly flesh-colored, adding a touch of surreal beauty to her soft and delicate temperament, as if all the spiritual energy in the world had been concentrated in this perfect body.

"Big sister, do we really have to fight in a place like this?" Ye Qianxue clung to Yan Ziming, trembling.

Only after arriving here did she realize that she could truly and directly experience the infamous reputation of the Crimson-class occupied zone. The pressure on her was immense; every inch of her skin was taut, and she dared not relax even for a moment.

Even breathing felt a little difficult.

This wasn't due to altitude sickness, but rather because the atmosphere here was so eerie and oppressive that anyone with a weak will would go insane if they stayed here for too long.

Compared to that, the murderous aura that swept across the entire city of Bei'an not long ago is nothing to mention.

Yan Ziming flicked Ye Qianxue's forehead and teased, "If you want to back down now, you can go back."

"No!" Ye Qianxue hugged even tighter. "Qianxue wants to stay with my older sister!"

"Did you bring Crimson Flame? That thing can save your life in a critical moment."

Yan Ziming asked himself, even with his strength, he couldn't protect Ye Qianxue completely in this place, and she herself would be unable to move an inch and would encounter misfortune.

Of all the major battles she participated in, only a handful could rival the atmosphere here.

Even with the strongest combat power below the ninth rank in this vast wilderness, she was still just an insignificant part of it, as if facing an abyss that had swallowed countless corpses, making her feel suffocated.

So before leaving, she asked Ye Qianxue to bring out the Crimson Flame that had been sitting unused for a long time, and also took ten S-grade obsidian stones and two SS-grade stones (funded by Mu Mu) for emergencies.

This groundbreaking weapon is quite powerful and can be put to great use.

"Yes, I brought it."

Ye Qianxue patted the inside of her thighs, which were covered by her short skirt, and felt a hard bulge and a slight vibration sound from the parts.

"..." Yan Ziming didn't want to complain anymore. Could it be that her sister's skirt could really hold anything?

"Big sister, what's our first step? Are we just going to mindlessly keep swiping?"

Yan Ziming thought for a while and then chose a more prudent approach, "Hmm... let's just target those of S rank and above, and not bother with the other small fry."

"A small fry... It's a small fry to my big sister, but it's still a bit difficult for Chiyuki."

Using an eighth-tier ability user against mutated species below S-rank is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—a waste of resources. However, a seventh-tier ability user might not be able to completely suppress the beast horde and could still be overwhelmed by small monsters below S-rank.

"Well... Qianxue, you're only at level seven now, so you should practice on some weaker monsters first. But before that—"

Yan Ziming drew out the last syllable of his voice, and with lightning speed, he attacked Ye Qianxue. A blazing light appeared, accompanied by a sharp whistle, its power terrifying.

Even Ye Qianxue didn't expect Yan Ziming to suddenly attack her. He was too fast and had an intense killing intent that seemed to want to devour her completely.

In an instant, Raikiri held Ye Qianxue's fair and beautiful neck. The blade slightly cut her skin, and a drop of blood seeped out. The blood evaporated the moment it touched Raikiri, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of blood.

Ye Qianxue still looked completely confused, blinking her big eyes at her. Although she was indeed startled, she did not offer any resistance.

The next moment, Raikiri disappeared, and Yan Ziming covered his forehead in despair, half-squatting on the ground, "You're completely useless..."

2. If the enemy were me...

Seeing that she still looked completely bewildered even though he had a knife to her neck, Yan Ziming felt a wave of despair.

Her sister has terrible reflexes.

"Well--"

Understanding that her older sister was scolding her, Ye Qianxue puffed out her cheeks, "What can't Qianxue do?"

It wouldn't be right to indulge her as before, so Yan Ziming simply said, "Qianxue, your reaction time... makes me a little worried about you coming with me..."

"Who said that? Chiyuki simply has absolute trust in her older sister!"

Ye Qianxue confidently patted her E-cup breasts, which were comparable to Yan Zimo's, creating a splash as if to "back her up".

The way she said that made it seem like Yan Ziming was the one in the wrong.

Yan Ziming stretched out two slender fingers and pinched her full breasts. "Don't try that on me! Should I give you an award and apologize to you?"

"Ouch..." Ye Qianxue jumped back in pain, looking at her with a pitiful expression.

"However, Chiyuki really trusted her older sister, which is why she didn't take any precautions. No matter how much her older sister bullies Chiyuki, Chiyuki will never deny it!"

Her attitude underwent another complete 180-degree change, becoming somewhat forceful.

"Hmph! Slippery mouth!"

Yan Ziming said some angry words, but his actions were quite the opposite; he rubbed Ye Qianxue's head.

"From now on, don't treat me like your older sister. All living beings around you are potential enemies. Depending on the situation, I will decide whether you can stay by my side."
