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

Thinking of this, Yan Ziming deflated, "Fine, do whatever you want."

Then, for once, she stood her ground and declared war on Bai He, "I'm not going to play along with you anymore. If you keep causing trouble, we'll fight to the death!"

Seeing that Yan Ziming was serious, Bai He had no choice but to compromise:

"Alright, I won't argue with you anymore. If I could, I wouldn't want to do it this way either, but what can I do when you're always so inconsistent?"

"If you could use a normal method, would I be so resistant?!"

Yan Zimo's almond-shaped eyes widened.

"Then I'll be gentler with you next time."

"Don't use such easily misunderstood language!"

Yan Ziming was immersed in the joy of successfully communicating with Bai He, unaware that from the very beginning, the moment Bai He embraced Yan Ziming, Liu Mengxian, hidden behind the mist, had been watching her intently, and that gaze hadn't changed even now...

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Even Perfection Has Flaws

At this moment, a device overhead projected Li Haoyi's holographic image. After confirming that all procedures were in place, he descended Daming Road.

"Ready to begin the experiment."

As the sound faded, one of the walls in the room suddenly became transparent and then transformed into a huge ultra-high-definition display screen.

Such a great monitor, it's a shame not to use it for gaming...

Yan Ziming silently complained to himself and began to pay attention to the content of the image.

This is a relatively spacious secret room. In addition to some instruments, there is also some furniture. The color scheme is mainly white. There is a person inside, who is Xiao Qi, who was taken away by Li Hao.

Xiaoqi wasn't flustered at all when she was brought to this room; she just sat on the sofa and waited.

"Can she hear me?" Yan Ziming asked.

Li Hao shook his head. "We can't hear. We need to avoid any external factors that might interfere."

After a while, a wall in the laboratory split open, and a soldier brought in a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She was blindfolded with a black cloth and placed on a chair.

Jiang Lan's expression changed for a moment. "So these are the mutated personnel you arranged?"

"Yes, this is a fifth-level ability user, a mental ability user, named Cheng Xue, who used to be your personal bodyguard."

Li Haoyi's holographic projection explained to her.

"I knew, but I never expected that she would also be mutated..." Jiang Lan said with a hint of sadness.

Jiang Lan couldn't ignore her feelings, since they had some connection. It was unimaginable that such a sad thing had suddenly befallen her.

Luo Li then explained, "She started showing symptoms yesterday. According to big data, she is within a safe period and will not undergo mutation for at least two days."

Yan Ziming clasped his hands together, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

There are always exceptions. Haven't there been cases of sudden mutations before?

If such a thing were to happen, Xiao Qi, who has no fighting ability, would be torn apart by the mutated species right under their noses, and Yan Ziming would never be able to accept such an ending.

Just to be on the safe side, she asked beforehand, "What protective measures have you prepared in case she suddenly starts to mutate?"

"I'm right outside the lab."

Li Hao's simple answer put Yan Ziming at ease.

With a ninth-tier expert known as the "Absolute Defense" guarding outside, Xiao Qi's safety is beyond doubt, and nothing can threaten her.

"In fact, Chen Xiaoqi's location is right behind this wall, so you don't need to worry about security at all."

Yan Zimo was speechless.

I thought it was a monitor, but it turned out to be just a wall. Luckily, she didn't say that sentence aloud, or she would have been incredibly embarrassed.

"The experiment is about to begin. Please pay attention to the energy field."

This was said to Zhiruo and Baihe, who are both mystical ability users and have their own unique understanding of this field.

Today's experiment is not only a crucial test of whether Xiao Qi can reverse the mutation, but also a great opportunity to collect data on her supernatural abilities, which will help to deduce her powers.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qi seemed to have received a notification and began contacting the beautiful woman.

Cheng Xue still finds it somewhat like a dream.

After learning that she had developed a mutation, she had decided to apply for euthanasia. However, unexpectedly, she found that she had a chance to live again.

"Lieutenant Cheng Xue, there's a chance for you to live. Would you like to try?"

"Huh? Really?"

"It's true, but the success rate is still unknown, and there might be unexpected risks. To put it bluntly, it's a human trial. Are you willing to participate?"

"I do!"

Recalling how her beloved had excitedly conveyed all of this to her, she felt a deep longing within her.

I want to live!

Blindfolding is a requirement here, in order to prevent leaks, and everything must be kept secret, demonstrating the high level of secrecy.

After she entered, she sat in the chair for more than ten minutes without making a sound, which made her a little puzzled.

Xiao Qi was standing just a meter away from her.

"stare--"

After Xiao Qi came in, she did nothing but quietly watch her, her eyes wide open, her hands supporting her cheeks, and she just squatted on the chair.

She said she wanted to reverse the situation, but she had always done it unintentionally in the past. Suddenly asking her to summarize a specific process, she didn't know how to do it.

Yesterday, Bai He's investigation revealed something, but she didn't say anything, only that she would keep it a secret, and then she went back.

However, the moment Bai He saw something, she subconsciously mouthed two shapes, and Xiao Qi deduced the answer based on her memory.

--thinking.

So the solution is simple: relax your brain.

To concentrate, Xiaoqi deliberately moved to the opposite side of Cheng Xue and stared at her intently, trying to imprint her image in her mind.

Yan Ziming and the others watched very carefully, afraid of missing even the slightest detail, and watched like this for half an hour.

Half an hour passed and nothing happened.

"I can feel the energy field!"

Zhiruo suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention.

"It's nothing, it's the same feeling I had yesterday."

Bai He's words made Yan Ziming and the others sigh in disappointment once again.

Suddenly, Cheng Xue in the video reacted violently. She clutched her chest in pain and made a whimpering sound that was hard to describe. It was as if a fire had been ignited, and the surrounding air was distorted beyond recognition.

Yan Ziming immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up, "The situation has changed, evacuate everyone immediately!"

Li Hao took action the moment the anomaly occurred.

Suddenly, a layer of azure light appeared in front of Xiao Qi, like an ancient and eternal mountain, blocking thousands of mountains and seas, unshakable.

The next moment, Xiao Qi was escorted out by several military personnel, while Li Haoyi remained indoors, with everything locked, quietly observing Cheng Xue's reaction.

Jiang Lan, watching from the next room, was so worried about Cheng Xue that her throat was in her throat. She was probably the most concerned person there, afraid that something might happen to her.

Only Liu Mengxian, hidden behind the mist, remained elusive, her emotional fluctuations remaining unclear.

"Her powers... this is just my guess, but they might be something extraordinary... and now I remember, I've seen this child before."

Recalling what Bai He had told her yesterday, a few ripples appeared in Liu Mengxian's deep, ocean-like eyes.

At the root of all existence, thought and matter... thought shapes reality.

Liu Mengxian's eyes grew increasingly deep, shrouded in mist, as if they could see through the past, present, and future.

How can such power still exist?

Even though she was a woman of great experience and knowledge, she was still saddened for a long time when she received confirmation from Bai He. This was a power that should not exist in the world.

I still remember Bai He's exact words at the time...

"This can no longer be called 'power,' it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it 'divine power,' it completely defies common sense... But precisely because of this, I believe that this power must be imperfect, must still have some limitations! Just as I cannot directly predict the future, she is not a flawless being!"

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Views

Yan Ziming stood up and opened the door to find Xiao Qi being led to the entrance. Yan Ziming quickly knelt down and stroked her little head, looking very worried.

"I'm glad you're okay..."

After checking and finding that Xiao Qi was unharmed, Yan Ziming turned his attention to the 'wall' from before.

The most crucial thing now is Cheng Xue's situation.

Her success means that the entire nation of China has succeeded.

If it doesn't work, the glimmer of hope they just saw will sink, and humanity will continue to live under the shadow of alienation.

"I can stay there a little longer..."
