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

Chapter 82 Retreat

After returning to Bei'an, Mo Sheng walked to the familiar conference room and saw a tall figure standing at the door, probably waiting for someone.

When they were still ten steps apart, the man turned around and gave a relieved smile.

“Senior Yan Shan…I have disgraced you all…” Mo Sheng lowered her head, standing in front of Yan Shan like a little girl who had done something wrong.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back... And your results this time were quite good, capturing a ninth-level enemy alive. That's something many people want to do but can't."

Yan Shan said kindly, his brows furrowed with both pride and satisfaction.

When Qin Tianhai told him that his side had captured a ninth-level expert from the enemy, the high-ranking officials of China, including Yan Shan, were so happy they almost jumped for joy.

Moreover, this ninth-ranked individual might even be recruited into their Chinese camp!

From this point of view alone, Xue Yunling's identity is certainly not as simple as just a "prisoner" or a "criminal".

Under the current conditions, what significant implications would the addition of one more ninth-order being have for China and even the world?

The powerful addition of a ninth-tier expert will make China's territory even more secure, providing greater assurance for weathering the difficult period ahead.

Moreover, Xue Yunling's strength is quite remarkable among ninth-rank individuals, and her talent is even better than Mo Sheng's. This alone is enough to make Yan Shan and the others extremely excited.

As for what was said before about how Xue Yunling would be tried...

Given the choice between a living, serving ninth-tier expert and a dead ninth-tier expert, is there even a question to ask?

Praised by Yan Shan, Yan Ziming laughed shyly, "Haha~~ Uncle, you flatter me. We didn't do much..."

"Were you involved?" Yan Shan glanced at her.

Yan Ziming's laughter stopped abruptly, and then Yan Shan changed the subject: "You did a good job with the rescue."

Her niece did a very good job this time, at least she resolved the potential worries that might arise after she recruited Xue Yunling.

"..." Yan Ziming felt like a million alpacas wanted to spit on Yan Shan.

"Let's talk after you come in."

The three women dragged Xue Yunling into the conference room. Yan Shan solemnly closed the door and carefully observed Xue Yunling, his eyes sparkling with colorful light.

After a while, Yan Shan nodded confidently: "That's right, it's the same person who attacked Bei'an last time."

Yan Ziming hurriedly asked, "Then she—"

"The interrogation will take place today. Don't worry, this is not something that can be done overnight."

"I........"

Before Yan Ziming could finish speaking, Yan Shan interrupted him again: "I will take care of this matter. Neither you nor Mu Mu can participate."

"Why!"

"Because your unstable emotions will affect the overall process," Yan Shan criticized.

As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion. Yan Ziming was present during the interrogation, and Yan Shan was afraid that she might reveal their situation prematurely due to her anxiety, which would only put them in a passive position.

"Okay, calm down first," Mu Mu said, knowing that Yan Ziming was anxious.

"Uncle, please continue."

"Have you found Ye Qianxue's whereabouts?" Yan Shan asked in turn.

"We've found the direction, but we don't know the exact location; it might be overseas."

"Okay, go and look for it right away. Mu Mu will go with you. Before taking any measures, consider the consequences. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Mu Mu removed the Milky Way Domain that bound Xue Yunling. With Yan Shan here and no longer in the extreme cold, she could hardly make a ripple.

Yan Ziming pulled Mu Mu out the door and, following Xiao Ze's directions, hurried in that direction.

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

In the mountains, there is a place where the mountain has been hollowed out and transformed into a secret base.

Youming sat upright on the main seat, his face solemn, as if he had a bad premonition. He immediately asked his subordinates, "Is there any contact with Cangming?"

"No, the suicide squad may have been wiped out by the Russian reinforcements, with only a few high-ranking officers such as Baror and Salanti escaping."

"Where is the person we asked you to find?" Youming asked irritably.

"This...we haven't found our target at all. Lord Cangming is nowhere to be found. What a loss..."

Before the subordinate could finish speaking, his head exploded, crushed alive by a terrifying mental force.

Those around were so frightened that they fell silent, afraid of offending this god of death.

"A bunch of useless idiots! You can't even handle a simple task! Didn't our informant say that one of the targets was inside? Now tell me, where is he?! Did he just fly away?! Huh—?!"

Youming roared hysterically, his mental fluctuations surging like a vast ocean. Everyone present hung their heads like ostriches, not daring to raise them.

Even those outside unconsciously minimized their movements to avoid being killed on the spot by the Netherworld.

You must know that person is one of only two top experts in the organization. His ability is not much less rare than spatial ability. He is extremely powerful. Here, he is the supreme ruler and can kill anyone he wants.

[Given the circumstances at the time, Mo Sheng from China most likely couldn't defeat that bitch Cang Ming, so why haven't we heard from her since...?]

As fellow ninth-tier powerhouses within the organization, Cangming has always outperformed him, both in terms of strength and actions.

Therefore, they don't get along well and rarely communicate with each other.

Based on Youming's understanding of Cangming, she was unlikely to die. Having such a favorable position, Youming knew he had no chance of defeating her.

As for being captured, is that even possible...?

No, perhaps that's actually possible...

As he pondered this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Ninth-tier powerhouses in China never act alone, relying solely on their numbers, especially with the addition of the newly promoted space-type ninth-tier powerhouse, Mu Mu...

Sigh, just thinking about Mu Mu made him feel annoyed. This threat had finally reached the ninth level. On the deserted island, he could barely suppress her with his absolute strength, but now she was suppressing him with absolute strength, and in a way that was completely overwhelming.

However, this mission can be considered a complete defeat for them. I don't know what's been going on for the past year, but several missions have failed one after another, and the morale within the organization has begun to crumble.

More importantly, how should he explain this to the gods?

However, it's best to consider the series of consequences that will result from Cangming's capture first.

Is there a possibility that our base will be discovered? If so, then China's actions will be unimaginably swift, and it won't be long before they launch an attack with the force of a landslide and a tsunami.

Unfortunately, all the spies previously stationed in China had already been dealt with, so whether Cangming had been captured was merely his wild guess...

After much deliberation, Youming finally gave the order: "Sigh... Abandon this base, return to our main camp, and continue to send people to contact Cangming. If you can't reach him, don't come back!"

Chapter 83 The Indian Neighbor

"Little Mo Mo, are you sure your good disciple is here?"

“This must be the place,” Yan Ziming said, looking down at the boundless mountains and rivers below.

Although the temperature here isn't as extreme as in Siberia, it's still a desolate place where life is impossible.

The cold weather, coupled with the world's highest altitude, means that the number of biological species here is not much greater than in Siberia.

This is the famous Himalayas.

The Himalayas are the world's highest mountain range, forming a natural boundary between East Asia and the South Asian subcontinent. They also mark the border between China and several countries, including neighboring India.

And the place Ozawa pointed to seems to be this place.

After learning Ye Qianxue's approximate location, Yan Ziming breathed a slight sigh of relief:

"This result... is considered good, at least we didn't invade other countries' territory."

"Don't be too happy yet. If we make any moves along these borders, it could easily provoke the international community and cause a big fuss that would be difficult to manage."

Mu Mu reminded him.

In the apocalypse, due to China's active role in the fight against mutated species, it would occasionally provide assistance to smaller countries in the surrounding areas, and most countries that did not have the ability to fight mutated species on their own survived as a result.

Of course, no matter how powerful China becomes, it can only help a portion of the population. Most countries, even with aid from China, still perished.

Some of the countries closest to China, thanks to this, were completely preserved, including several countries bordering the Himalayas.

Among them is our Pakistani brother. If the battle were to break out in the Himalayas, Pakistan would simply need to communicate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The other smaller countries are not so difficult to deal with either. After all, they all stabilized their domestic situations with the help of China. Whether they like it or not, they can only pretend not to know.

But there's one that's not so easy to deal with.

That is India, commonly known as "the neighboring Indian".

This is a country with a strong hostility towards China.

Because both sides have many similarities, such as being known as "Asia's largest developing country", having similar populations, and being ancient civilizations (although their lineage has been severed)...and so on, they regarded China as their biggest rival in Asia before the end of the world arrived.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that it's wishful thinking on the other side, with everyone from the general public to the highest levels of government viewing China as an adversary.

China, on the other hand, has always kept its sights on the United States, across the ocean.

I usually ignore this neighbor who's always causing trouble; I just deal with him occasionally.
