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

"Hey, what about me! Are you pretending I don't exist?!"

Seeing that Yan Ziming ignored her, Luo Li was so angry that she jumped up and down. It seemed that the discipline she received last time was not strong enough.

However, since this person will at least be involved in Xiao Qi's affairs, ignoring her... Yan Ziming was afraid that this person might not be rational enough and cause some big trouble, so he had no choice but to pay her some attention.

However, the fact that three of China's top scientific and technological personnel came here at once shows that the country is paying close attention to this experiment and is taking it very seriously.

Only those with mystical abilities truly understand other mystical abilities, so it's only natural that Zhiruo was invited. But why is Youlan here...?

Youlan raised her hand as if she wanted to say something, "Um... I was just a bystander."

"No!" Zhiruo pounced on her, rubbing her face against hers. "Lanlan, you're here as a special guest because you've lived with me for so long, not just to make up the numbers!"

Youlan pushed her face away, her pretty face slightly flushed. "Let go of me. Be careful out here..."

"You two are really in love."

Watching the interaction between the young couple, Yan Ziming was infected by their enthusiasm, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Zhiruo flashed a peace sign, her face beaming with pride: "Of course~~ Lanlan and I are a match made in heaven!"

"Speaking of which..." Yan Ziming suddenly thought of something, "Since Zhiruo is here, then the other one shouldn't be absent either..."

Yan Ziming's expression suddenly turned very ugly.

China has currently identified only two individuals with mystical abilities: Zhi Ruo and Bai He.

Bai He was an acquaintance of Yan Ziming's, and they often met due to work. So why did she react this way?

That's because Zhiruo and Youlan are also here.

During the Civilization Cup, Bai He fabricated a lie to cover up the fact that Yan Ziming's marriage had ended in court for Zhi Ruo and You Lan. In front of them, she gave Yan Ziming a passionate kiss and claimed that she and Yan Ziming were a couple.

Most importantly, Xian'er is here too!

If I could gather here with Xian'er, Zhiruo Youlan, myself, and Baihe...

Yan Ziming thought it best to find a cannon and shoot himself out.

Thinking of this, she quickly decided to take Xian'er to another place, so that she wouldn't have to stay here with them.

But just at that moment, someone hugged her from behind, and she heard Bai He's sickeningly sweet voice.

"honey~~"

Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Brutal Battlefield

That sweet "honey" gave Yan Ziming goosebumps all over.

Holy crap, you can't play like that! You hit me with a royal flush right from the start!

"Um... Bai He, what are you doing?"

Yan Ziming's facial expression was extremely forced, as if she had encountered something extremely embarrassing. In fact, that was indeed the case; she was on a special path from which there was no return.

Bai He remained pressed tightly against her back, her slender fingers tracing circles on Yan Ziming's fragrant shoulders.

"Oh, come on, I was just being cute!"

What a load of flirtatious nonsense! Even if we're pretending to be a couple, you have to act normal, okay? Why are you using that tone? It feels so out of place!

Disgusting~~

You did that on purpose!

Knowing Bai He's wicked sense of humor, this guy usually enjoys teasing people, especially her.

Yan Ziming's temples bulged with veins, his expression tense to the limit. He said with a forced smile, "Do you want me to get rough with you?"

"cut."

Bai He finally regained her usual emotionless attitude.

Looking back, Yan Ziming saw Zhi Ruo Youlan looking at him and Bai He with a particularly ambiguous smile. He felt like dying.

You say we're a loving couple? You're just as good-looking as me!

He stole a glance at Liu Mengxian; her face was shrouded in a mist, making it impossible to discern any emotion within.

Yan Ziming was trying to figure out how to smooth things over.

After all, Bai He's behavior just now didn't have much obvious meaning. Explaining it as a 'greeting between good friends' could salvage the situation. Wasn't Wen Xintong fooled by her in the same way last time?

However, reality was destined not to go as she wished.

Zhiruo, being the most gossipy, covered her mouth with one hand and asked mischievously, "How far have things progressed between Senior Zimo and Senior Baihe? Have they...Kira~Kira~"

Finally, she winked at Yan Ziming twice, as if to add to the meaning behind it, and what she wanted to express was self-evident.

Yan Ziming almost choked to death on his own saliva, nearly lost his soul, and was practically dried up.

I never expected you to be like this, Zhiruo!

"Ruoruo, what did you just say out of the blue?"

Youlan noticed the embarrassment on Yan Ziming's face and quickly pulled back the somewhat agitated Zhiruo to prevent the situation from escalating further.

But it was still a bit late. Liu Mengxian, who had been hidden behind the mist, asked, "What has developed to what stage?"

The conversation between the group eventually caught Liu Mengxian's attention, and Yan Ziming's expression instantly became incredibly interesting.

"Ahem... It's nothing. We were just talking about some important national affairs, about how far the investigation has progressed."

Yan Ziming explained with extreme embarrassment that her clumsy acting made Youlan and the others shake their heads in disbelief. They wished they could enroll her in a tutoring class to learn how to control her facial expressions, so that she could at least learn to remain expressionless without flinching and that would be considered a graduation.

However, Yan Ziming's words were quite effective. Liu Mengxian paused for a moment, then stopped talking and turned her head to look elsewhere.

Luo Li, who had no idea about the connection between Yan Ziming and Bai He and the others, tilted her head to the side.

As a high-ranking official in the country, I have never heard of Bai He and Yan Ziming having such a collaboration.

So she asked, "National affairs? What are you talking about? I don't understand a word of it."

Shut up, you stupid little girl! What are you doing causing trouble at a time like this!

Just when everyone thought the matter was over for the time being, another unexpected obstacle appeared, almost causing Yan Ziming to take his last breath!

Go back and let Mu Mu tie you up again and train you into a whimpering, obedient little girl.

Luo Li suddenly felt a chill and immediately shivered as she clung to Jiang Lan's leg, not daring to show her face.

Looking back, Bai He, the instigator of the incident, was absent-mindedly lost in thought. Yan Ziming was so angry that he wanted to smash her head with his little fists!

Yan Ziming turned to Jiang Lan and cast a pleading look at her.

Jiang Lan, who was quite familiar with Yan Ziming and had met Liu Mengxian several times in the Seventh District, naturally understood what Yan Ziming meant.

Yan Ziming went to such lengths to keep it a secret, and Jiang Lan sighed inwardly in despair before stepping forward to help her out of the predicament.

"Sister Luo Li, you didn't get involved, so of course you wouldn't know, but Zi Mo and Bai He often work together."

"Well, she's completed all the tasks I've given her so far very well, finding both Zhiruo and Xiaoqi. I'm sure she'll handle this one as well..."

Bai He suddenly leaned close to Yan Ziming's ear and whispered, "You agree, right?"

Yan Ziming: "..."

This guy is trying to scheme against me again.

From the moment he started hugging her, this guy was plotting something, and now he's finally showing his true colors and revealing his true intentions.

Yan Ziming growled in Bai He's ear, "What do you want me to do now?"

"We'll talk about it later."

Bai He's reply made Yan Ziming furious, but she could only comply with Bai He's wishes.

Just then, the military personnel arrived and told Jiang Lan and the others, "The experiment is about to begin. Please proceed to your designated positions."

"Ah! I'm so sorry for taking so long; Lanlan and Zhiruo, you two go ahead and do your work, don't bother us anymore, Xian'er and I will stay inside."

Yan Ziming immediately urged him on as if he had grasped a lifeline, and finally felt a great weight lifted from his heart.

However, less than a minute later, the stone was lifted to an even higher place.

"......"

Yan Ziming stared blankly at Zhiruo and the others in the same room as him, a look of utter despair flickering in his eyes.

Why are we together?!

Bai He seemed to know what she was thinking and said dismissively, "Of course, what makes you think you'll split up with us?"

"Right now, I just want to strangle you!"

Yan Ziming placed his hands on Bai He's shoulders, and the latter immediately adopted a weak and vulnerable posture, tears welling in her eyes, "Gently, gently..."

Ah this.

Yan Ziming didn't know how to deal with this guy either.

In terms of strength, he naturally far surpasses Bai He, but in terms of status and position, Bai He is the one who far surpasses him. Yan Zimo can't possibly treat her the same way he treats Luo Li.

Putting everything else aside, Bai He knows her own Achilles' heel!

She still remembered that when they first met, Yan Ziqing revealed her true identity, which made her worry and fear for a long time.
