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

Wang Ziwen stood at the door and gestured for people to enter, but she did not go in herself.

Yan Ziming carefully examined the room, thinking, "Isn't this an interrogation room? Why did they call me here?"

The room was divided into two parts by a soundproof window. On her side, there was only a table and a chair, and not even a glass of water.

She was upset about being treated like a criminal.

"I think... shouldn't I be given an explanation?"

Yan Ziming spoke to a middle-aged man through the window, his tone containing a hint of anger.

This middle-aged man was the Major Wang that Wang Ziwen mentioned. He was reclining in the chair, not at all like a major.

"Hello, my surname is Wang. It seems my good-for-nothing son has caused trouble." Major Wang did not answer Yan Ziming's question directly, but instead brought up his son Wang Ziwen in the conversation.

"I wonder what business Major Wang has with me?"

Major Wang sat up straight:

"It's nothing really, I just want to know how your mission went yesterday."

A glint flashed in Yan Ziming's eyes, and he asked:

"What? Has something gone wrong?"

"No, no, no, there were no mistakes. You did an excellent job. I've heard from the Third Company that you did a great job, Miss Yan Ziming!"

Did he contact the Third Company before contacting me...? What is this guy up to?

"So, what does Major Wang mean?"

"I just want to know some details. Tell me any details that are worth mentioning."

Yan Ziming thought about it carefully and began to explain the situation of the mission to him. She said everything that should be said, and as for things that shouldn't be said... actually, there was nothing that shouldn't be said. Apart from the fact that she had seen the report on artificial obsidian technology, Yan Ziming told him everything else.

After listening, Major Wang fell silent, seemingly verifying the truthfulness of what Yan Ziming had said.

After half a minute, he asked:

"Is there anything else to add?"

Yan Ziming shook his head.

"Hey... could you tell me more about your time at the research institute?"

He is indeed an old fox!

Yan Ziming thought to himself, if the details he just described were fabricated, then having to repeat such a long passage would inevitably lead to discrepancies with the facts he had just described. It seems that this Major Wang is not simple!

Fortunately, she said everything exactly as it was, except for the part about the research report, so repeating it again was not a problem.

"We are at the research institute..."

After repeating it again, Major Wang asked some other questions related to the mission, which Yan Ziming answered very well.

Finally, Major Wang rubbed his forehead and looked at Yan Ziming with a scrutinizing gaze:

"When you were in the archives, did you look at... the research reports on the counter?"

Yan Ziming's delicate body trembled slightly.

The crucial moment has arrived!

Chapter 134 Joint Guarantee

"So you've finally shown your true colors. Were you trying to lower my guard by asking so many questions before?"

Yan Ziming tapped his fingers on the table and calmly said:

"I've seen some, but I don't understand any of them..."

She didn't specify which ones she had read. There were hundreds of lab reports there, and if she didn't explain clearly, who would know which one Yan Ziming had actually read?

[They must have brought me here because of the artificial obsidian crystal incident. Are they testing whether I've leaked any secrets?]

During this time, Yan Ziming inadvertently came into contact with another level of lying—a mixture of truth and falsehood.

The truth is mixed with the falsehood, making it difficult to see clearly and leading others' thoughts in the wrong direction.

But Major Wang is a cunning old fox; he won't blindly trust Yan Ziming's words. He still needs to have some doubts.

"Then... tell me what you saw?"

"I've forgotten everything."

This is also true. She had read other research reports, but they were too boring, so she forgot them all. Even with the report on artificial obsidian, she only remembered some keywords. It was impossible for her to remember the specific details in such a short time.

Did it mention... obsidian?

"No."

For the next period of time, Major Wang asked one question after another, giving Yan Ziming no time to think. There were some dangerous moments during this time, but Yan Ziming still managed to evade them very skillfully.

Major Wang wanted to ask Yan Ziming more questions, but then his phone rang. After glancing at the message, his brows furrowed deeply.

Just as he was about to continue the interrogation, the door on his side opened again, and a man who looked like an officer entered. Major Wang pulled down the window for the conversation, cutting off their voices.

During this process, Major Wang showed an incredulous expression and glanced at Yan Ziming with surprise. After the officer finished delivering the message, he left.

He reopened the chat window:

"Miss Yan Ziming, you are now free to move around. Thank you very much for your cooperation."

As he spoke, he politely extended his right hand. Yan Ziming didn't mind and shook hands with him politely in return, then withdrew his hand in less than half a second.

Yan Ziming had already left the interrogation room, but Major Wang seemed to linger there.

Yan Ziming stood there dumbfounded, captivated by the soft, boneless touch of Yan Ziming's small hand.

No wonder her son was so infatuated with her. If she were thirty years younger... no, twenty years younger, she probably would have been her suitor too.

The moment Yan Ziming left, Wang Ziwen rushed in:

"Father, why did you just let her go so easily?!"

Major Wang frowned, feeling quite troubled by his son.

"You bastard, don't call me father here, call me superior!"

"Then, sir, why...?"

Major Wang gestured for him to be quiet and rebuked him angrily:

"Remember not to mess with her in the future, or you won't even know how you died!"

Wang Ziwen was incredulous after hearing this. Was Yan Ziming some kind of monster? How could her father give her such a warning?

"What's so special about her? She's just an ordinary superhuman!"

"Hmph! Ordinary? She fought and killed an S-class tyrant head-on, and you're telling me she's just an ordinary ability user?"

This statement was a huge blow to Wang Ziwen. To directly confront an S-class tyrant head-on—is this even human?

Although he had never seen the Tyrant, its fearsome reputation was quite well-known in the post-apocalyptic world, earning it the title of "Doomsday Giant".

Although their numbers are pitifully small, they are all S-rank or higher; those below S-rank have never appeared before!

This powerful mutated species also possesses astonishing combat strength, and is said to be invincible among its peers, meaning that a single ability user of the same level would basically be unable to defeat it.

Wang Ziwen knew very well that even though he was already a fifth-level ability user, he was still an ant in front of the tyrant. He couldn't even stop it once, let alone defeat it.

Seeing that his good-for-nothing son was frightened, Major Wang continued:

"Not only that, her backing is even stronger than her power! Just now, 'Galaxy' sent me a threatening letter, and the deputy commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief even jointly vouched for her. Tell me, should I release her or not?"

Actually, when Major Wang interrogated Yan Ziming just now, although Yan Ziming answered very well, Major Wang still saw through her. In particular, when he first asked her whether she had read the research report, her body visibly trembled, and Major Wang saw all of this clearly.

However, he wasn't sure if Yan Ziming had actually seen the report on the artificial obsidian crystal. Further investigation was needed, so he planned to detain Yan Ziming for a while longer. After all, the matter was of utmost importance and couldn't afford any mistakes. If such crucial technology were leaked, those ravenous foreign powers would never allow China to possess this key that could change the world. At that point, China would face unprecedented pressure in the international community.

Just now, he received a threatening text message from "Galaxy," which is Mu Mu. It contained only one sentence: "I'm protecting Yan Ziming. You'd better watch yourself!"

Who is Mu Mu? She is an eighth-level spatial ability user, possibly the only one in the world who can cultivate to the eighth level. Moreover, she is not far from the ninth level and may break through at any time. When that happens, a ninth-level ability user will be stationed in the Xihai Military Administrative Region. This is absolutely great news for the Xihai Military Administrative Region, whose highest combat power is currently only at the eighth level!

At the same time, this also means that Mu Mu has the entire Xihai Military Administrative Region behind him, and his backing is absolutely top-notch.

Even if he ignored the power behind her, he couldn't ignore her strength! If he angered her, did he believe she could open a spatial rift at any time and send a bomb to his family? He was afraid that by then, they wouldn't even be able to find out who did it, or even if they did, it would be forcibly suppressed.

Are you kidding me? Do you really think the country would offend a future ninth-tier space ability user over this? Absolutely not. At most, they'll just give her a symbolic punishment. Once she reaches the ninth tier, the various uses of Mu Mu's space ability will be far more important than her combat power, and it's also related to some of the country's most important research projects.

The thought of the consequences if I offended her sends chills down my spine.

But the matter did not end there. After receiving Mu Mu's threatening text message, another person came in and said something that shocked him.

"Wind God" and the Marshal jointly vouched for her!

These two are genuine ninth-tier experts!

"Wind God" naturally refers to Huang Tao. In the years he has been stationed in the Jiangning Military Administrative Region, the defense line has always been impregnable, and not an inch of territory has been lost. Needless to say, his strength is also top-notch in the world with his ninth-level strength.

The other one was even more extraordinary. He was surrounded by many accolades, such as Marshal of China and God of War, and was even known as the number one person in China. His prestige was no less than that of the national leaders.

Based on this, even if Yan Ziming really did see that report, there's nothing to worry about. With three bigwigs vouching for her, they believe she's not a spy for external forces. Otherwise, wouldn't that mean the three pillars of China are all spies? That's clearly impossible; even a three-year-old wouldn't believe it.

"Let me tell you, don't have any bad ideas about her, don't even think about it. If you cause any bad consequences, I'll kill you first, without those guys even having to lift a finger!"

Major Wang gave repeated instructions, and scolded Wang Ziwen until his face turned ashen, and he lowered his head, not daring to refute.
