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

Yan Ziming rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and after a long while asked:

“I can understand you living here, but why do you have to swallow the fish that other people catch? There are so many other fish at the bottom of the lake, why do you have to eat the ones that other people catch?”

"Of course, it's to see the despair on those people's faces!"

Si Mo looked completely at ease, while Yan Zi Mo felt like she was about to have a heart attack.

Qin Di pulled Ye Qianxue aside and whispered, "Is this really the Black Calamity, and not your sister or something?"

“No…” Ye Qianxue looked at him with eyes full of grief, which made Qin Di’s heart tremble.

Yan Ziming looked exhausted and waved his hand weakly: "Forget it... Go back. We've never seen you before, and we didn't know you lived here."

She intended to forget her unhappiness and continue her journey, but Sisi wouldn't have it, hands on her hips:

"That won't do. You've woken us up, so you have to take responsibility."

"......up to you."

Yan Ziming gave up completely. Anyway, they couldn't stop this sadistic little girl. Even if they disagreed, Si Mo would still shamelessly follow them.

She finally understood that this was premeditated; the other party had noticed their arrival early on and deliberately lured them in.

Otherwise, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't match the strength of a dragon. Now, it's all over, and Si Mo is going to rely on them.

Then this quirky little girl quickly climbed onto Yan Ziming's back.

"What are you doing now—" Yan Ziming felt like Si Mo was driving him crazy.

"Didn't you tell us to do whatever we want? Or do you want us to go in front of you?"

"Um..." Yan Ziming choked on his words and shrank his neck: "Just lie down, don't move around."

Ye Qianxue watched from the side with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Although the seat in front of her older sister was hers, the seat behind her belonged to Mo Xin!

Even if Mo Xin is not here for the time being, it doesn't mean that an outsider can be so intimately clinging to her older sister's back!

But in the end, she could only keep her dissatisfaction to herself. She couldn't muster any resistance when facing Si Mo, even more so than when facing Mu Mu.

When she first met Si Mo, Si Mo left a deep impression on her, a shadow she could hardly bear to recall.

Mu Mu grabbed Ye Qianxue's face, glaring at her as if to say, "If you hadn't gone to so much trouble to investigate this thing, would we have had to run into this mess?"

With a mournful little face, Ye Qianxue nestled into Mu Mu's arms, looking utterly aggrieved.

At this moment, Xiaoqi picked up her constantly vibrating phone, glanced at it, and reminded him, "Ah, the instructor sent a notification saying that we're going to the next stop and grab some lunch."

In the end, their team gained another little girl.

A sadistic little girl.

Following the large group, they went to a newly opened restaurant for a meal.

Qin Di left halfway, seemingly having received some urgent mission. In any case, the situation was extremely bad, and he even put aside the "lake monster" that he had been concerned about, leaving without stopping.

"Ham~~"

He picked up a meatball with his chopsticks and stuffed it into Simo's mouth, who was still lying behind her. Simo squinted and swallowed it, making a cute sound.

Yan Ziming, however, took it in stride. With the idea that "if you can't resist, then enjoy it," he accepted the fact that Si Mo had joined him.

Once she had this thought, she felt that Si Mo was absolutely adorable at that moment!

Especially when she saw that the other person looked so much like herself, a special feeling, which she couldn't describe, welled up in her heart.

However, apart from her, the others didn't seem very happy.

Mu Mu and Ye Qianxue had dark faces the whole time, while Xiao Qi and Yuan Yuan were so affected by the atmosphere that they couldn't sit still or eat properly.

"You guys eat, don't always have such a long face."

"......"

"Big sister..."

Ye Qianxue puffed out her cheeks and looked at her, or rather, at the silk moss on Yan Ziming's back, hoping that Yan Ziming would make a statement.

Yan Ziming gave him a helpless look, then glanced at Mu Mu, as if to say, "Even your master sister can't do anything, what can I do?"

Thus, Ye Qianxue could only channel her grief and anger into her food, plotting in her heart that she would make up for what she had lost today!

"Speaking of which, when are you finally going to have a baby for us?"

Si Mo's sudden question made Yan Zi Mo spit out his drink, spraying it all over Ye Qianxue's face. Xiao Qi and Yuan Yuan, who were standing next to him, were also stunned.

"Ah! Qianxue, I'm so sorry, let me wipe it for you."

Yan Ziming pulled out several large tissues and wiped her face, saying angrily, "What are you saying out of the blue!"

Si Mo snorted lightly: "Well, you'll definitely come begging to us eventually anyway."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it."

Yan Ziming gave a dismissive answer with a disbelieving look. Unless she'd lost her mind, she wouldn't take the initiative to have a child, let alone beg Si Mo for one.

The mealtime wasn't as pleasant as I'd imagined; instead, it felt rather dull, making Yan Ziming a little uncomfortable.

Fifteen minutes later.

Yan Ziming put down his chopsticks and started scrolling through his phone to see what interesting things were happening.

Shocking! A certain famous—

With a swipe of your finger, you can skip to the next news item and continue reading.

[Hmm? Another incident of a mutated species injuring someone. This seems to be the third one this week.]

Yan Ziming muttered to himself, thinking that the city had indeed been taken back too hastily, leaving some corners unattended, which resulted in some spies escaping and causing harm.

Boom!

A large flame shot into the sky not far away, seemingly caused by the ignition of some flammable or explosive material. The flames were magnificent, and a mushroom cloud rose into the air.

A cloud of smoke and dust rapidly approached.

Mu Mu quickly raised her hand and summoned a collapsing black hole outside the restaurant, which neutralized all the shockwaves from their direction.

People in other directions weren't so lucky; the shockwave spread far, far away...

The shattered glass in its path, scattering debris that injured people, some even with shards of glass embedded in their eyes, leaving them bloodied and battered.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Giant Chrysalis

"what--!"

The surrounding people began to panic. The explosion was quite close, only about two kilometers away, and the explosion and flames were so large that they felt as if a huge fire was about to burn right in front of them.

In an instant, the restaurant, both inside and outside, descended into chaos. Most people began to flee, while some restless onlookers, unafraid of death, ventured closer to the scene, intending to watch the spectacle and perhaps take a photo as a memento.

The students dining in the restaurant were also quite frightened, but fortunately they were not alone.

"Everyone, don't panic! All teachers, students, and civilians, please follow the instructors and evacuate in an orderly manner towards the exit. I repeat, all teachers, students, and civilians, please follow the instructors and evacuate in an orderly manner towards the exit!"

Among those present were not only ordinary citizens, but also many military instructors, and now it was time for them to take the lead and command.

As the highest-ranking lieutenant general in the military, Meng Shaojun naturally assumed the position of commander-in-chief. He began assigning tasks to his soldiers, and after receiving a call from his subordinates, he hurriedly ran to the center of the incident.

"Whoa... What a huge mushroom cloud! What did it explode?"

Yan Ziming gazed at the mushroom cloud that was gradually spreading to the horizon and exclaimed in amazement.

The heatwave had already swept over them, and the hot wind brought by the high temperature made their clothes flap loudly, quickly reaching a level that would be unbearable for an ordinary person.

They just watched from there. After all, they weren't professionals at handling fires. Everyone has their own expertise, so it's best to leave it to the professionals.

"Qianxue, you take Xiaoqi and Yuanyuan away first, and protect them there."

"Yes!"

Ye Qianxue then tore open a spatial rift and sent the two little ones to a relatively far and safe place.

boom--!

The fire suddenly intensified more than twofold, producing a tremendous explosion and becoming a towering pillar of fire with astonishing heat. A shockwave carrying intense heat followed.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Those who were fearless enough to take photos had their hair set on fire, their clothes caught fire, and they were burned and rolled on the ground. The lucky ones quickly took off their clothes and ran naked, while the unlucky ones went bald and suffered at least second-degree burns all over their bodies.

The intense heat swept in, which was clearly not the combustion phenomenon that a normal fire should exhibit.

We can't sit idly by any longer!

Just as they were preparing to take action, an instructor shouted, "You guys over there—"

Yan Ziming looked around, and the voice came again: "Stop looking around, I'm talking to you, get out of here right now!"

"..."

They ignored it, staring blankly at the heart-stopping scene unfolding at the epicenter of the explosion.

...............

"I'm here. What's the situation here?"

Led by a special person, Meng Shaojun arrived at a high platform 400 meters away from the scene of the incident.
