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

He gently patted Xiaoqi's head:

"There's something I want you to see. Hold me tight."

Feeling the hands around her waist tighten, countless bolts of lightning suddenly erupted from beneath Yan Ziming, propelling him forward and heading straight into the stadium.

Yan Ziming put Xiao Qi down, leaving a long trail of footprints on the ground, and said softly to her:

"Look over there."

As he spoke, he pointed to a nearby corner where a huge white figure lay motionless.

When Xiaoqi saw that figure, her face turned deathly pale under the light, her petite body trembled involuntarily, and her eyes were filled with a chaotic hatred that would even frighten Yan Ziming.

How familiar that white figure is! So familiar that even if it turned to ashes, Xiaoqi would still remember it.

"Demon Wolf!"

With its silvery-white fur and enormous body, resembling a wolf, wasn't it the murderer who killed Xiaoqi's family?

"It's this one, it's this one that killed Xiaoqi's parents..."

Xiao Qi's voice was plaintive and sorrowful, which made Yan Ziming's heart ache.

Holding Xiaoqi's trembling little hand, Yan Zimo asked from beside her:

Are you scared?

"Hmm..." Xiao Qi's voice was uneven.

Let's go over and take a look.

"Huh? But it—!"

Xiao Qi glanced at Yan Ziming in surprise. This was a mutated species! Wasn't she afraid it would suddenly attack and hurt her by getting so close?

But after thinking about it, she felt relieved. With Sister Zimo's immense strength, would she be afraid of a mere mutated species?

In fact, Xiao Qi didn't know that "Demon Wolf" was already dead, dead beyond any doubt, and even its crystal core had been taken by Yan Zimo. Xiao Qi's worries were completely unnecessary.

"Just go and take a look."

Yan Ziming half-forcefully pulled Xiao Qi over and brought her to the front of the demon wolf.

The wolf's eyes still held a hint of resentment, though they were now dull and lifeless. Its head had been split open, and it had lost all signs of life.

"this...!"

Xiao Qi covered her mouth in shock, never expecting that the demon wolf would die so easily.

"Did Sister Zimo make this?" In Xiaoqi's memory, only Yan Zimo had enough strength to kill the demon wolf.

Yan Zimo nodded:

"Well, before we met you and Tiantian, we fought it and killed it. After I learned that it was it that killed your parents, I always wanted to bring you here, but last time... well, you know."

Towards the end, Yan Ziming became somewhat embarrassed.

"Anyway, Xiao Qi, are you... Ah! Are you alright?"

Xiao Qi suddenly collapsed to the ground with her head down, startling Yan Ziming.

Yan Ziming quickly squatted down in front of her, lifted her head, and found that her face was covered with tears and she was sobbing.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. You won't be cute if you keep crying."

She sat down next to Xiaoqi, placed her hand on her back and gently stroked it, her gentle voice warming her heart.

Xiao Qi changed her posture, hugging her knees with both hands and burying her face in them, not wanting Yan Ziming to see her crying.

"Dad, Mom...did you see that?"

"It's dead... killed by Xiaoqi's benefactor... What will become of Xiaoqi now?"

Ever since Xiaoqi's parents were devoured by the demonic wolf, revenge became the driving force that kept her alive. But what she never expected was that Yan Ziming had defeated the demonic wolf so quickly, even before they met.

She is now feeling lost. Having lost her goal of revenge, she doesn't know what she should live for in the future.

"It's clear... all Xiaoqi can do is seek revenge... what should I do, Mom and Dad...?"

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Yan Ziming worried that she would get stuck in a rut again, so he went around behind her and gently hugged her, clearly feeling Xiao Qi's body tremble.

"Xiao Qi, do you remember what I told you?"

"..."

"I told you, as long as a person is alive, they will inevitably cause trouble for others, whether it's you or me."

Yan Ziming paused for a moment, then spoke in a voice that even she found incredibly gentle:

"So... even if you rely on me more and cause me more trouble, I won't mind!"

Xiao Qi's body jolted, and she raised her head as if she had seen the light again, asking with hopeful anticipation:

"Is it really possible? Can Xiaoqi really rely on Sister Zimo? Even if Xiaoqi..."

Her voice sounded so humble at that moment... her heart was so fragile that it would shatter with the slightest tap.

Yan Ziming knew that her answer would determine Xiao Qi's future, so she answered very carefully:

"Yes, that's fine. You can rely on me anytime you need me, but in return, I might cause you trouble in the future. Please be understanding then."

"Yes, Xiaoqi will... but before that..."

Xiao Qi suddenly turned around, threw herself into Yan Ziming's arms, and burst into tears. The girl's loud cries echoed in the stadium. Fortunately, this place was within ten miles of the northern city wall, where the mutated species had been eliminated by the military; otherwise, a major battle would have been inevitable.

Xiao Qi cried for a long time, and Yan Ziming's chest was soaked with Xiao Qi's tears, but she didn't mind. She still held Xiao Qi gently. If outsiders saw this, they would definitely be blinded by the maternal glow emanating from Yan Ziming.

"Sister Zimo is so gentle... I'm even a little jealous of Sister Qianxue..." Xiaoqi, having finished crying, looked up and said to Yan Zimo with a smile.

Yan Ziming shivered. If Ye Qianxue heard this, she would definitely be extremely jealous, and then he would never have a peaceful day with her.

"Ha, haha, you're joking..." Yan Ziming said with a dry laugh.

Xiao Qi tacitly refrained from continuing, and with her quick wit, she could also sense that the relationship between Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue was not as simple as that of ordinary sisters.

"It's getting late, let's head back."

"Um!"

Without Yan Ziming saying anything, Xiao Qi climbed onto Yan Ziming's back, hugged her tightly, and silently made a vow in her heart.

"Mom and Dad, Xiaoqi has found a new meaning in life... which is to repay Sister Zimo for her kindness to Xiaoqi, and also..."

"And I also hope that one day, Sister Zimo will come to rely on me on her own initiative..."

The girl's wish was small, but its weight was immeasurable...

Chapter 130 You really made me search high and low

"Hello comrade, has anyone named Ye Qianxue registered for a residence here?"

Yan Ziming, who had brought Xiaoqi back to the military camp, wanted to find Ye Qianxue, but she suddenly realized that her phone had been confiscated and she could not contact her at all.

Having no other option, she had to come to the logistics department to check if Ye Qianxue had been there.

"Hold on."

After the counter staff worked on the computer for a while, they said to Yan Ziming:

"Excuse me, beautiful lady, no one named Ye Qianxue has registered here."

"Huh? Oh, okay, thank you."

Yan Ziming left the logistics department with Xiao Qi.

"Didn't I tell the girl to go apply for accommodation? Where is she?"

If they can't find Ye Qianxue, then they'll have no choice but to sleep on the streets!

"Sister Zimo, I'm hungry."

Xiao Qi tugged at Yan Ziming's sleeve, and her stomach growled.

Oh! By the way, given Ye Qianxue's gluttonous nature, you might be able to find her in the cafeteria.

"It's already past eight o'clock, I wonder if the cafeteria is still open..."

Just as Yan Ziming was about to pull someone over to ask, someone walked past her, and Yan Ziming stopped her:

"Comrade, I wanted to ask if the canteen is still open? We haven't... Damn, it's you again?"

"I was about to say something to you too, how come your expression changed so quickly?" Lin Shuqi said irritably.

Lin Shuqi was carrying a steaming hot meal, seemingly heading somewhere, presumably for her little sister Lin Shuyao.

"Sister Shuqi, is the cafeteria still open?" Xiaoqi asked impatiently, she was starving.

When facing Xiao Qi, Lin Shuqi's tone softened considerably:

"Xiao Qi, haven't you eaten yet?"

"Um!"

"The cafeteria is still open, but there's not much food left. If you want to go, you'd better hurry, or it'll be gone."

At this point, Lin Shuqi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
