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

Now, suddenly a stranger knows my secret. Once it's exposed, my life and relationships will fall apart in the blink of an eye!

Her relationship with Ye Qianxue and the others was based on the premise that she was a 'pure' girl. Without this premise, she didn't know what would happen, nor did she want to know.

She was terrified that the strong bond she shared with them would become fragile in this matter, leading to her losing them, which is why she had never brought it up.

"Aren't you going to explain?" Yan Ziming calmed himself down, stopped in his tracks, and looked at Bai He.

Bai He helplessly shrugged, as if she had expected this: "I told you long ago, you don't want to know about this. Like I said, it's a state secret."

Yan Ziming's gaze was calm as he threatened, "Do you really want to say that? Whether you can leave this street alive depends entirely on your next answer."

"Waaaaah~~ How scary!" Bai He pretended to be scared and patted her C+ cup chest: "You're not that kind of person, I can assure you."

Suddenly, a hand appeared on Bai Ze's left chest, pressed against her skin. She could clearly feel the beating of her heart. If Bai He's answer did not satisfy her, the lightning spewed from this hand would penetrate her body's central nervous system—her heart.

"You can try it."

"Just try it."

Bai Ze met her gaze without fear, unfazed by the sharpness in Yan Ziming's eyes, even though she had already shed tears from the sting of that look.

Chapter 49 His reputation is completely ruined!

Occasionally, passersby would glance at Yan Ziming and Bai He. A woman was pinning another girl against the wall with one hand, and the position of her hand was so enviable... It was infuriating. The girl being touched even shed tears, on the verge of sobbing. Anyone with a brain could guess what had happened.

This is clearly a perverted lesbian woman molesting a sexually normal teenage girl!

Because these kinds of things are rather strange, and people aren't quite sure if it's really as they think, they have no choice but to take out their phones to record videos and preserve evidence.

The two people involved were completely unaware of this, as they were both engrossed in their confrontation.

The standoff lasted for a minute before Yan Ziming finally gave up and said resentfully, "You win."

I simply couldn't bring myself to so recklessly kill a living being. The other party hadn't done anything wrong; they had just told me this fact.

Moreover, she was a target specifically assigned to her by Mo Sheng for protection. If she killed Bai He, her own fate would not be much better than if the information were made public, and her uncle would also be implicated.

Bai He wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her palm. "Then could you please take your hand away? We're being completely misunderstood by passersby now."

Yan Ziming's gaze was so sharp that she couldn't bear to look directly at him. Her eyes stung, and the more she rubbed them, the more tears streamed down her face. He looked more and more like a girl who had been violated by criminals.

Withdrawing his hand from Bai He's left chest, Yan Ziming said sternly, "You just said this is a state secret, what aspect were you referring to?"

One thing she wanted to know was whether the national leadership knew that she had once been Yan Ziqing, or whether Bai He's method of knowing that she was Yan Ziqing was a state secret.

The two outcomes are completely different, and Yan Ziming needs to know all of this.

Bai He straightened her collar, which had been slightly disheveled by Yan Ziming: "Alright, alright, I'll tell you, my special ability is a state secret. Do you understand now?"

It's the latter.

Yan Ziming breathed a sigh of relief. If all the high-ranking officials in China knew that she used to be a man, she probably wouldn't be able to face them with a normal mindset in the future.

"Are you the only one who knows about this?"

“I haven’t told anyone else, and I don’t know if your uncle has told anyone else.”

Bai He's tears had stopped by now, but her eyes were slightly red. Yan Ziming felt a little apologetic when he saw this.

She was about to say something apologetic when her phone rang. It was her sister calling.

"Hey, Qianxue, what's up?"

"Big sister... I'll send you a link, please tell me if it's real."

"Huh? What do you mean 'is it true'?"

Yan Ziming opened a messaging app and saw a link sent to her by Ye Qianxue in her chat history. She clicked on it.

The title was a large line of black Chinese text: "Shocking! One of the Four Heavenly Kings Threatens an Innocent Girl in the Street!"

Below is an autoplaying video showing Yan Ziming, wearing a mask, forcefully pressing Bai He against the wall and reaching up to her chest with one hand. Bai He sheds tears of 'humiliation,' creating a strong atmosphere of crime.

"What the hell is this?!"

Upon seeing the above content, Yan Ziming almost smashed his newly bought iPhone X to pieces.

She clearly didn't have such intentions! But she can't refute it; there's a video, the evidence is conclusive, and no one will believe her if she tells anyone.

Besides, the things they talked about back then were things that couldn't be told to anyone.

“I told you long ago that we were misunderstood by passersby, but you didn’t believe me; don’t worry about it, it’s just a rumor, it will all calm down in a while. I, as the victim, don’t care, so why do you care?”

Bai He teased him as if nothing had happened.

Yan Ziming roared, "Nonsense! The netizens are criticizing me, not you. What do you have to care about?!"

Scroll down to the comments section, and it's all about how Yan Ziming is a beast and how horny she is, even cursing her ancestors for eighteen generations.

Fortunately, her true identity was not exposed; otherwise, even with her heroic performance in the Yongjing Campaign, she would have become a pariah.

One should not tolerate mistakes.

The people cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in their eyes, and Yan Ziming is that grain of sand now. No matter how heroic she has been in the past, as long as she makes a mistake once, she will face the collective backlash from the people.

To this, Yan Ziming can only say one thing—"So true."

"Don't make it sound so easy. My reputation has been affected too, you know. I'm being portrayed as an innocent girl who was molested by a perverted yuri woman."

Bai He, who had been unjustly afflicted, said nonchalantly, though her expression didn't seem to indicate that she cared much about the matter.

"sister?"

Blinded by the rumors, Yan Ziming almost forgot that she was still on the phone with Ye Qianxue. She said cautiously, "Qianxue, do you believe those people who spread rumors or do you believe your sister?"

"Of course it's Sister Xin!"

Without any hesitation, she answered instantly, with a reaction time of 0.01 seconds... Of course, the data is just made up, but Ye Qianxue's response speed was simply exaggerated, fully demonstrating her trust in Yan Ziming.

"That's good, what's circulating online is just a misunderstanding..."

Just as Yan Ziming was about to reassure Ye Qianxue, he was stopped by a third party's voice.

He was a man, wearing a black suit, sunglasses, and had blond hair.

He adjusted his sunglasses and said to Yan Ziming:

"Excuse me, please cooperate with us. We are from the Seventh District Enforcement Team. Someone has reported you for molesting a minor. Please come with us."

"..."

No! I didn't! The person in question is right here; ask her!

Yan Ziming wanted to say that, but seeing more and more people gathering around her, she felt embarrassed to stay any longer and decided that it was more important to leave the area first.

At the same time, Yan Ziming also sensed that the man was very strong, probably a seventh-level ability user. The authorities were really going all out to maintain the stability of the Seventh District.

"Okay, let me tell my friends first," Yan Ziming said, pointing to his phone.

"No, please come with us immediately."

"Qianxue, there's someone named 'Mandala' in your phone book. Call her and ask her to bail me out, that's all."

Yan Ziming didn't care whether he agreed or not. He simply explained the situation over the phone and hung up, which made the enforcement team member so angry that veins bulged on his forehead.

“Let’s go,” Yan Ziming said to him with a shrug.

The Lofeel Consortium is the de facto controller of District Seven. Only by asking them for help can she get out as quickly as possible. Otherwise, given the efficiency of the authorities, she won't be able to participate in the subsequent competitions.

"Hmph, I hope you'll be more careful next time."

The blond man snorted in displeasure and left the scene with Yan Ziming and Bai He. With the speed of superhumans, they quickly shook off the onlookers who were following and filming them, and headed towards an unknown place.

Throughout this process, Yan Ziming remained silent and unusually quiet, while Bai He also acted as if it were none of her business, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Less than five minutes after he left, Ye Qianxue called again. Ignoring the blond man's warning look, Yan Ziming answered the phone, turned the volume up to the maximum, and put it on speakerphone.

"Sister, I've asked around, and no one from the enforcement team has come looking for you!"

Chapter Fifty: On the Verge of Eruption

This statement acted like a fuse, igniting the powder keg and setting the stage for the ensuing battle.

A distant gunshot rang out, and before the sound could travel through the air to reach Yan Ziming, an object hurtled towards him at 850 m/s, nearly three times the speed of sound.

With a flash of electricity in her right hand, Yan Ziming raised her hand and precisely grabbed a 12.7mm anti-materiel sniper rifle bullet. Under the heat of the lightning in her hand, the bullet emitted blue smoke.

"Anti-materiel sniper rifles, they really think highly of us."

Yan Ziming sneered, and lightning surged. Three layers of electromagnetic barriers enveloped her and Bai He, providing a tight 360-degree defense, even covering the ground, to prevent anyone from using any high-tech attacks.

At the same time, she tossed the 12.7mm sniper bullet she had caught high into the air with her right thumb, her entire arm glowing with a blue-purple electric light.

"I've wanted to try this for a long time, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Yan Ziming accurately pinpointed the sniper's location, and the bullet landed precisely in front of her thumb. At that moment, the lightning flashed to its maximum, and with a forceful flick of her thumb, the bullet was instantly ejected.

Furthermore, when the bullet touched the electromagnetic barrier, its speed became even faster. With three layers of electromagnetic barriers, it experienced three super accelerations. When the bullet left the last layer of electromagnetic barrier, the space seemed to shatter, all the surrounding glass was shattered, and a shockwave was generated. The bullet flew towards the sniper at a speed far beyond the reach of modern firearms, like a shooting star, leaving an orange-red streak in the air!

"Boom!"

Just as Yan Ziming's voice fell, a corner of the rooftop of a building exploded, spraying out a cloud of blood mist. The bullet pierced through the wall and struck the sniper's torso, tearing him to pieces into varying fragments!

"Huh—Big sister, what happened to you?"
