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

This outcome left Simo extremely dissatisfied.

"We don't know what the Other Sea is; we just swallowed a blue crystal," Si Mo said with mixed feelings.

Mu Mu anxiously said from the side, "The Other Sea is just an energy reserve for them, used to supply energy to the entire city!"

"That must be it. The energy concentration of that gemstone is indeed quite high."

Si Mo nodded vaguely, which made Yan Ziming and Mu Mu extremely happy!

That's the "Other Sea"!

One of the four energy storage locations—if this is included, then their goal of weakening Odyssey by destroying energy storage has already been achieved long ago!

Mu Mu suddenly remembered something, and her expression became even more joyful.

"I remember when Xian'er broke the protective shield, that guy in all black said something strange. So that's what it meant!"

If what they had just imagined was merely wishful thinking, Mu Mu was now certain—"The Other Sea" had been destroyed! And it was already inside Si Mo's stomach!

"broken!"

Mu Mu suddenly slammed her fist into her palm. The words that came out made Yan Ziming's heart tighten.

Could something have happened again?

"The seniors certainly don't know about this. If we overlook this factor during the negotiations and miss many opportunities to extort money, we'll suffer a huge loss!"

"......"

Extortion! What kind of talk is that! This is clearly war reparations, yet you've made it sound so awful!

Mu Mu didn't care about anything else. After a flash of light, he disappeared. It was obviously faster to go directly to Huang Tao and the others than to contact them by phone.

Just to be on the safe side, Yan Ziming also called her uncle. After a moment of silence, her uncle replied with a steady yet encouraging tone: "Well done!"

Yan Ziming felt a little embarrassed by these words, since it wasn't her who had destroyed it.

"Don't be modest. Wasn't it all thanks to you that the underground energy reserves were destroyed? Now that we've destroyed two of the enemy's important facilities, our bargaining power is even greater!"

"Hehe~~"

"Alright, I'll inform the other four members of the Standing Committee about this. I'll be there soon, so please be prepared."

The call ended there.

It seems my uncle is coming too! This is really...

For the sake of a tsunami, the entire country of China mobilized a huge force, with almost every ninth-level expert coming, and even Yan Shan came.

Yan Ziming held Si Mo in her arms, sat on the still intact wall, and gazed at the sea. It was like an older sister holding a younger sister who was several years younger than her. They looked very harmonious.

"Silk foam..."

"What?"

"Do you think... it's possible for us to coexist with mutated species?" Yan Ziming asked blankly.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about!"

Hearing this, Yan Ziming gave a self-deprecating chuckle: "That's true, how could that be? You're just saying this because—"

Si Mo pinched her thigh and said fiercely (cutely but also bloodily), "Don't lump us together with those inferior species. We are intelligent beings!"

Yan Ziming tried to pry open the hand that was pinching his thigh, but when he found that he couldn't, he had no choice but to give up.

"So you mean you can coexist with us?"

"Of course, if you can find a balance~~"

Si Mo said arrogantly, "But don't even think about imposing your concepts of equality on us. It's impossible. We are always noble dragons. If you want equality, then your uncle or that woman might be qualified!"

Yan Zimo was speechless.

Equality among ordinary people only applies to those who are also ordinary. To expect to enjoy the same level of power as the strong based on this is truly a pipe dream...

"Well, anyway, thank you for this."

"If you want to say thank you, just say it directly. Why go through so many roundabout ways? You'll never amount to anything. You might as well go home and have a baby."

Yan Ziming was so angry that she almost threw her down. This guy always managed to perfectly cross her bottom line, which is why people say that dragon girls and the like are all sadistic masters!

But she still held Si Mo tightly and didn't put her thoughts into action, otherwise she would have been abandoned, and might even have gotten pregnant and been left in the wilderness (???).

Mu Mu hasn't returned yet; he's probably sending the excess combat power back. After all, not all the ninth-tier warriors in China can be gathered here; some areas need to be left with some safety nets.

The two sat quietly for more than ten minutes. Yan Ziming lowered his head and looked at Si Mo's profile.

Her bright red eyes reflected the sunlight like a setting sun, as did her vivid red lips, a face so similar to her own. Her petite figure would be perfect as a cushion.

Quickly banishing this dangerous thought from his mind, Yan Ziming asked idly, "Hey, Simo, can that sapphire you mentioned restore you to some of your former level?"

"It can barely recover to 70%... close to 80%."

Simo gave a very vivid burp.

"Most likely... that powerful, considering you gave me all the crystal cores before."

Yan Ziming felt a little guilty. Being able to give up his most precious thing for a stranger was a debt of gratitude that Yan Ziming would repay for a lifetime.

Although she had always intended to do something wicked.

"Well, that thing is of pretty good quality. If we get a few more of the same quality, it won't be difficult to restore it to 90% of its original quality."

"How many pills are needed to restore it to 90%?"

"Do you think we can replenish our crystal cores just by increasing the quantity? That's the essence of my entire body, all of it injected into your body. If you know how to be grateful, hurry up and give us a child!"

"No way! And don't use such dirty language, if others hear it they'll think something happened between us!"

Yan Ziming poked Si Mo's protruding belly with his hand, and a strange thought came to his mind.

If Silk can enhance its power in this way, could the people of Odyssey do the same?

The moment this thought crossed Yan Ziming's mind, he felt a chill run down his spine.

That... isn't impossible!

Imagine when the Odyssey people use this method to create a large number of powerful beings, the advantage of the human side will disappear in the blink of an eye!

No, I need to report this immediately.

Yan Ziming felt that if this was true, then the peace talks might not be able to continue, and the two sides would have to fight to the death.

Chapter Thirty: Building Mountains with Earth

While Yan Ziming and Si Mo were discussing, Yan Shan had already arrived.

"Hey you two, why aren't you getting ready?" he shouted at Huang Tao and Qin Tianhai.

"Isn't this what I've been waiting for, you old geezer!"

Qin Tianhai said cheerfully, the trace of worry between his brows finally dissipating considerably.

Yan Shan: "Isn't it because you said you couldn't handle it that you sent me here? Can't you be of any use at all!"

After exchanging pleasantries with the two as usual, Yan Shan asked with a serious expression, "Just how serious is the situation?"

Huang Tao pointed to the other sections of the city wall in Huahai City: "The flow of people can't keep up, and the city wall isn't big enough to hold everyone. Besides, I'm afraid the city wall isn't strong enough."

Yan Shan paused for a moment, then asked, "How many people are left?"

"At the current rate, it is estimated that 500,000 people will still be unable to be evacuated when the tsunami arrives."

Huang Tao explained to him that the key issue now is how to settle the remaining 500,000 people. They can't just stay in high-rise buildings, can they?

"I'll handle it. Leave the land-based arrangements to me. You all just focus on dealing with the sea."

Yan Shan rolled up his sleeves and assigned the work directly. As soon as Huang Tao and Qin Tianhai left, his phone rang. After picking it up and glancing at it, Yan Shan muttered something to himself before answering the call.

"what happened again?"

"Uncle, there's something I feel I should report to you," Yan Ziming said earnestly on the other end of the phone.

"explain."

"It's about...blah blah blah—"

After explaining the reasons to Yan Shan, even with his experience in dealing with people, Rao Shan couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Okay, I'll have someone investigate when I get back."

After saying that, Yan Shan hung up the phone and dialed another number.

"Hey, what does the Grand Marshal want with me?"

A slightly childish voice came from the other side.

"Luo Li, did you receive the one that was rushed back earlier? Start researching it now. Yes, now. Get the results as soon as possible. You can use all the scientific research resources available. The country will try its best to meet your needs in terms of personnel and resources."

"Well then, I won't stand on ceremony~~ First, get me that Zhi Ruo who's been sitting on the research team all this time. I've been wanting to meet her for ages."

"Okay, remember to be quick."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Shan issued several more notices and went to prepare for the work he was supposed to be doing.

Behind him, a dazzling light shone forth. Facing the vast ocean, a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire city of Huahai. He slowly pushed his hands forward.
