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

After saying that, Yan Ziming closed his eyes and stopped talking. Before the results were in, any further words would be meaningless.

Then these guys will be slapped in the face by reality!

Seeing that her older sister was silent and that Mo Xin was in the same position as Yan Zimo, Ye Qianxue felt bored by herself, so she followed their example and pretended to fall asleep.

Ten minutes later, she really fell asleep...

Yan Ziming, who was beside her, appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was having a mental session.

"Mo Xin, Murong Haiyi just said you've reached level eight, is that true?!" Yan Zimo asked in surprise.

[That's right, Mo Xin can help Zi Mo now!]

Even with his eyes closed, Yan Ziming could picture Mo Xin patting her chest, full of pride. Infected by her, Yan Ziming smiled.

[It's amazing that Murong Haiyi could tell you'd reached the eighth rank; I didn't even know at first!]

Yan Ziming felt somewhat frustrated. The first person to discover that Mo Xin had broken through to the eighth level was not herself, but an outsider, which made her a little unwilling.

"Ah... about that, Zimo, I'm telling you seriously, he's very powerful. His skill with weapons far surpasses yours, and his weapon is strange; it's very likely the white tiger you told me about, a weapon that, like mine, can be upgraded."

Mo Xin spoke with an air of seriousness, making Yan Ziming's heart pound: [So, if it's purely a contest of physical skills, without using supernatural abilities, I'm the one who would be completely defeated?]

【Uh, I didn't say that... that's right.】 Mo Xin denied it for a moment, but decided to tell the truth anyway.

[In the previous contest, you only won because of your willpower, your special abilities, and your second path... as well as me. His sword is currently inferior to mine and has sustained damage.]

[The White Tiger is likely already inextricably linked to him; their fates are intertwined. If the White Tiger breaks through to S-rank, he can break through to the eighth rank. At that time, the quality of that sword will definitely undergo a qualitative leap, and I cannot guarantee that I can suppress it.]

Yan Zimo remained silent.

Judging from this, Murong Haiyi is quite something!

As expected of someone followed by celestial spirits, there's no reason for him to be simple. Moreover, the compatibility between this white tiger and him is extremely high, almost a perfect match, and the boost it provides is considerable.

The White Tiger's enhancement to him is similar to that of the Raikiri, granting him overwhelming offensive power. Combined with exceptional skills, he can be considered unparalleled among his peers.

No wonder Mo Xin picked on Murong Haiyi as soon as she came out; so that's why.

Thinking of his big, fat cat at home, and comparing it to the white tiger, Yan Ziming was so angry he gritted his teeth.

Skills... um, should I practice those too?

[Zi Mo should just focus on his own area of ​​expertise. Everyone has their own area of ​​specialization. The reason his skills are so high is because of the unique nature of his special ability, which allows him to specialize in "close combat." Doesn't Zi Mo also have areas of expertise?]

"Hmm...you're right. Melee combat is just an extension of my repertoire. My true domain is lightning."

Yan Ziming nodded. The "sub-light speed movement" she had been studying recently was a technique, a trump card that could determine the outcome of the battle.

His path was different from Murong Haiyi's; he had his own path, so it was normal that he possessed things that I never had.

Yan Ziming was lost in thought for a long time, and by the time she was awakened by the noise behind her, four hours had passed.

At the same time, Qi Huandong and Mo Xin also opened their eyes and looked at the cocoon of light in the center of the coffee shop!

Chapter Fifty-Four: I'll scatter your ashes!

In an instant, everyone present became highly focused. Even Murong Haiyi, who had been standing there for nearly four hours, focused all his attention on the cocoon of light.

Success or failure depends entirely on the true face hidden behind this cocoon of light.

If there are any signs of alienation, Qi Huandong will kill them immediately, but at the same time, it means that the glimmer of hope for humanity will be completely extinguished.

Click... Click...

The cocoon of light trembled slightly, drawing everyone's attention to a new level. They held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

With this tremor, wisps of electricity began to emerge around them, converging towards the cocoon of light. These countless strands condensed on the cocoon, making it thicken again after much of the cocoon had just been peeled away.

Snap...

The light cocoon vibrated more and more frequently. As it vibrated, tiny fragments of light fell off like snowflakes and landed on the ground. They accumulated and formed a thick layer. The light cocoon became smaller and smaller until it was only as thin as a sheet of paper. Then, a small, white hand emerged from it.

hum-

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat. The relief in Yan Ziming's eyes, Murong Haiyi's affirmation, Ye Qianxue and Mo Xin's excitement, and Qi Huandong's ecstasy filled the entire space in an instant.

It's done!

You don't need to see the whole picture; just this one hand is enough to prove that Tian Tian has succeeded!

Another hand reached out from the cocoon of light, tearing the crack in the cocoon wider and wider until a crack large enough for a person to pass through appeared, and a delicate figure stepped out from inside.

Lightning surged, and an aura of superiority emanated from her, leaving Qi Huandong feeling utterly shocked!

High-level! This is the aura of a high-level ability user!

This also means that Tian Tian has officially entered the level of a high-level superhuman.

But, but—!!!

Qi Huandong had clearly assessed Tiantian's strength a few days ago, finding that he could only hover in the middle of the sixth rank, and that was the case until a few hours ago.

But it only took a few hours to complete such an epic overtaking maneuver on a sharp bend?!

"Congratulations, Tiantian."

Having just been reborn, Tian Tian was not quite aware of her current situation when Yan Ziming suddenly hugged her tightly.

"Master Mo..."

Yan Ziming continued, "As expected of my disciple! Now you are finally a superhuman who can stand on your own."

Tian Tian finally came to her senses and asked incredulously, "Master Mo, what are you talking about—"

"Try to activate your own superpowers."

Yan Ziming didn't give her a chance to speak. Although she was puzzled, she still did as he said. This attempt almost scared her out of her wits.

A powerful energy, unlike anything he had ever experienced before, flowed through his body like a river, and he could faintly hear the howling of wind and thunder!

"Oh my god!!! Is that really me?!"

Tian Tian shouted with delight. She was very familiar with this feeling. It was the same kind of spirit she had when she encountered opponents who made her feel powerless during the Civilization Cup.

Those opponents who made her feel powerless were all at the seventh rank.

"Mo, Mo, Mo, Mo, Mo Master—! Could it be that I am?!"

Every day, she would grab Yan Ziming's shoulders, so excited that she forgot herself and didn't use enough force, causing her fingernails to dig into her flesh.

Yan Ziming simply smiled and nodded. Tian Tian, ​​having received a definite answer, let out a scream of "Yahoo!" After her initial elation, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Ahem." Qi Huandong coughed heavily. "We'll discuss the details later. Please come back with us to cooperate with some investigations."

Yan Ziming immediately objected: "What's the rush! I still need to properly check her physical condition!"

Qi Huandong was speechless after being rebuked by her. Now the evidence was irrefutable, and Yan Ziming's insistence was correct. She undoubtedly occupied all the high ground, and he had no reason to interfere anymore.

Now, not only can he not kill Tiantian, but he must protect her, and do everything in his power to protect her. Because she is currently the only case of someone who has successfully reversed from being a mutant back to being human, which is of paramount importance to the entire country and even the world.

"Ah?"

Tian Tian stared blankly at the scene. She knew that Master Mo and Captain Qi didn't get along, but why did they suddenly start arguing?

"My dear sister did so much for you before... *cluck cluck*"

Ye Qianxue whispered a lot in Tiantian's ear. After learning what had happened, Tiantian choked up and couldn't speak. She never expected that Yan Ziming would break with Qi Huandong for her sake. How much courage would it take to do that!

"Alright, we can talk about the heart later. Let me check your physical condition first."

Seeing her moved to tears, Yan Ziming chuckled and playfully tapped her on the head.

After Lei Ling's control over the lightning element resonated with Tian Tian's special ability to ensure everything was correct, Yan Ziming finally felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

It seems that what Xian'er said was not an exaggeration; this sudden disaster could very well be an opportunity for some people.

However, this only applies to a minority of people. For most people with weak willpower and mediocre talent, it is still a complete disaster.

Only a few people can benefit from it.

Seeing that Yan Ziming had finally finished, Qi Huandong couldn't help but ask, "Can she come back with me now?"

What's meant to happen will eventually happen...

Yan Ziming sighed inwardly.

Just like in those zombie movies, Tian Tian has a chance to become a unique "vaccine sample" in this disaster. The government will not let her wander around outside. Sooner or later, they will come to her door and take her back to a special institution for examination.

If there is any resistance, then we will have no choice but to resort to force.

There was nothing they could do. If it were Yan Ziming who was to be taken away, given her strength, even if she refused, not many people could do anything to her.

But as for Tian Tian... well, you could say her fists aren't hard enough.

Even though she has broken through to the seventh level, she has only just become a small dragon, and there are still plenty of people who can keep her in check.

To be honest, Yan Ziming wasn't entirely at ease leaving Tiantian in their care... no, he was very uneasy!

—If it can save the world, what does the life of one or even a few people matter?

Throughout history, no nation has ever been considered sacred. Sacrificing individual interests for the collective good is fundamental to a nation's survival.

If Tian Tian is taken away, who knows what inhumane things might happen to him.

As for Yan Ziming, since she successfully pulled Tiantian back from the brink of death, she will inevitably be asked to investigate. However, no one would dare to have any ulterior motives towards her unless they were tired of living and were fundamentally different from Tiantian.
