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

So, Mu Mu shamelessly skipped them and went straight to buying underwear.

.........

"Heh heh~~"

Mu Mu stretched and yawned. Today's shopping was really tiring. She spent several million yuan. A rich woman is a rich woman. Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue both felt the comfort of being taken care of.

However, I never expected that Ye Qianxue, who was usually the weaker one among them, would suddenly become the second largest in terms of size, second only to Liu Mengxian, surpassing Yan Zimo. Is it really because she is a dragon?

The huge amount of stuff they bought couldn't fit in one car, so it was all shipped back to Bei'an. Now they're going to find a place to eat.

"Little Momo, you....."

"No, I'm exhausted. I just want to go back to sleep. I don't even have an appetite."

Mu Mu still wanted to treat her as a cook, but today Yan Ziming had no interest in cooking for them; she was genuinely tired.

The evidence is that after she said that, her eyes started to close and close, then stuck together and she could no longer open them, and a deep, snoring sound came from her.

Seeing this, Liu Mengxian and Mu Mu shrugged at each other and decided to skip the meal and go straight to the hotel.

After all, Sleeping Beauty needs to be taken good care of...

22. A terrible teammate

While Yan Ziming and her friends were having fun, things were not peaceful around the world.

Poland, EU

This place is a bridgehead of the European defense line, with two military bases located relatively close to each other. Geographically adjacent to Germany, it was doing quite well for a time.

While Russia and China in Asia are busy dealing with the dual pressures of insects, beasts, and mutated species, they are enjoying the fruits of the efforts of their neighboring countries. It would be fair to say that they are reaping the benefits without sowing.

Geographically, they are separated from Moscow to the east, Germany and other EU members to the west, and the Baltic Sea to the north. Their excellent geographical location means they have not been under much pressure from mutated species, and they have lived a relatively comfortable life.

But moisturizing comes at a price.

Traces of insectoid creatures have been discovered in the Polish interior, and in considerable numbers! Some of these creatures have even infiltrated their military bases, causing casualties.

Initially, missing persons were found in the city, but the military and civilians did not pay much attention to it. After all, this was a chaotic time, and it was normal for a few people to disappear without a trace. However, as the number of missing persons rose to one hundred, it began to cause some panic, but there was still no major action taken.

The incident was only truly ignited when a resident witnessed a large spider killing someone on the street.

This caused a huge stir. The insect-like creatures, which were originally only active in Asia, had begun to roam in Europe. It was the first time that the local people had observed the terrifying creatures up close. Their ferocious mouthparts, numerous segmented limbs, and disgusting mucus made them far more terrifying than any mutated species.

As a result, large-scale protests broke out in the interior of Poland, demanding that the government find all the insects and beasts in the city. But this was no easy task. These people verbally protested and demanded a thorough investigation, but when it came down to it, they were the least cooperative.

Furthermore, the people sent down to investigate fully exploited the inefficiency of Westerners; after three days, they had only completed less than five percent of the total progress, and the quality could not be guaranteed.

Then, on the fourth day, a worker accidentally discovered during drilling that a large part of the underground had been hollowed out, and below were terrifying insect beasts. This opened a new phase, and the insect beasts finally launched their attack.

In less than a day, this military base, with a population of only one million, completely collapsed under the frenzied attack of the insectoid beasts. In addition, the mutated species outside responded to the call of the masses, and soon this military base, which had held out for more than ten years in the apocalypse, was reduced to ashes in a single day.

Just two days later, Poland's last remaining military base was also destroyed under the frenzied attack of the insectoid beasts. The speed was incredible, so fast that the other major powers did not even have time to react.

The victorious insectoids were stunned. How could it have been so easy? This was on a completely different level from their 'godlike' battles in Asia!

Consider their fate in Asia; they were almost constantly suppressed, their nests dwindled one by one, and in the end, they could only resort to the shameless tactic of retreating when the enemy advances, barely surviving to this day.

Compare this to the previous example; it's like the difference between bronze and king.

When established powers like Germany and Switzerland, located in the heart of Europe, sent people to investigate, they discovered that the area north of Poland was almost entirely inhabited by insect-beast nests, which had expanded and multiplied to dozens, numbering over 100 million, and were still continuing to advance westward.

This has really panicked them. The overall situation in Europe wasn't great to begin with, and with so many more insects and beasts appearing, they're probably in for a tough time for the foreseeable future.

Therefore, they issued an international appeal for help.

"What a bunch of incompetent teammates... Even if the insectoid beasts are only active in Asia right now, they were far too careless. They didn't even realize it until forty-two insectoid beast nests had appeared!"

Huang Tao couldn't bear to look at the report anymore, so he threw it on the table and gave it a very sarcastic remark without any politeness.

What kind of era are we living in? How can there still be such incompetent teammates?!

"The EU wants us to send some people with supernatural abilities to provide support..."

"We can't give them any! We don't have any manpower available, and we don't have any other support for them. We'll just provide them with some oxygen-depleting grenades, but they need to be supervised throughout the process. This biological weapon is too powerful; we can't let them replicate it."

Li Haoyi couldn't bear to look at them. How could China send a large-scale army to fight across borders? That would be too much pressure. Moreover, the situation in Asia has been extremely tense recently, so it's impossible to allocate manpower to them. At most, they can only provide some material resources.

"It's settled then. We have many ninth-tier members, but it's not enough. If we really have to send someone, let them go and persuade our goddess group themselves."

The "Goddess Group" refers to Yan Ziming and her group.

Clearly, Yan Ziming wouldn't give a damn about them. He'd reap what he sowed; it's none of our business!

Let them fend for themselves.

I never expected these guys to be so 'skilled'. The insect beasts have been around for so long, and China has been actively sharing its experience in fighting them with the world, yet they haven't even noticed that the insect beasts have dug right under their feet. How can a country like this not perish? Helping them is pointless; they'll just make the same mistakes again.

"Have there been any recent movements from the insectoid beasts?"

"Not for now, it's time for us to try taking the initiative."

At that moment, Li Haoyi's communicator received a report from his subordinate: "The United States' Alyssa and her entourage are preparing to land in the Beian Military Administrative District."

Huang Tao waved his hand and said, "Haoyi, go ahead and get busy. Leave this matter to me. Right now, we should focus on dealing with our own issues first."

"it is good,"

Li Hao turned off the holographic projection, leaving the conference room empty.

He straightened his military uniform and went to the airport. At that moment, Alyssa and the others' plane landed there, but this time the person in charge of the escort was Hyde.

"Hello, this is our third collaboration, right?"

"It's an honour."

Elisa smiled and shook hands with Li Haoyi. Without further ado, Li Haoyi got to the point: "Miss Elisa, we would like to ask you to try probing the brain of the mother worm again. We need more information about the Gu King."

"That's possible... but do you still have any live samples of the mother insect?"

"..."

Li Haoyi was silent for a moment.

Since Elisa first invaded the brain of the mother insect, the probability of capturing a live mother insect in China has dropped sharply. Now there is barely one half-dead sample left, and this sample is a mother insect of the blazing moth, which is extremely precious.

“There’s one, it’s in the lab, I’ll take you there now.”

This half-dead sample isn't of much use anyway, so let's squeeze out as much value as possible from it.

Li Hao led Elisa and the others to the laboratory. The appearance of this female moth was much better than the first female moth they captured. It was a huge moth with a swollen abdomen and all its legs had been cut off. It was firmly locked on the experimental table.

"That's it."

23. Get serious

"Is this the goal this time?"

Hyde looked at the enormous moth, which was over seventy meters long, quite close to the SSS level, indicating that its rank was not low.

To everyone's surprise, Li Haoyi's answer was unexpected: "No, I would like to ask if Miss Elisa can carry out operations on two targets simultaneously?"

"Well... it's possible if it's a bit of a stretch."

"Then trouble you."

Li Hao clapped his hands, and the ground to the right of the mother moth suddenly opened, revealing a lift platform that rose up from within.

Hyde was moved, "This is..."

What appeared before him was not a mother insect, but a huge limb, which looked like the head of some large creature, only a large part of it was missing.

"This is the brain of an SSS-class insect beast. It's a pity that it's too badly damaged, but it still retains some of its activity."

"Are you trying to use a feint?" Hyde asked, taken aback.

Li Hao nodded slightly. "If it's like last time, they probably won't be able to figure out much before the connection is cut off. But if they attack from both sides simultaneously..."

Hyde glanced sideways slightly. "You've come very well prepared!"

“Insufficient supplies will not do. The problem of insect beasts is too serious. Ultimately, it all comes down to that Gu King. Once we find it, everything will be much easier.”

Li Haoyi suddenly said meaningfully, "If we, as the front line, collapse, then the collapse of the whole world is probably not far off."

"Hmph!" Hyde waved his sleeve and stood aside, somewhat dissatisfied with Li Haoyi's words, but not denying them.

Poor acting.

The message is that they should not engage in any competition for interests or conceal any important information at this time.

They understand the principle of mutual dependence, but before coming here, those brainless politicians did issue similar instructions.

Hyde and other hardliners naturally opposed it. Having fought wars abroad for many years, they knew that the insectoid beasts could easily be the last straw that broke the back of human civilization. Didn't they see how Europe had become a mess in the blink of an eye? Hyde thought that if this situation were to happen in the United States, it probably wouldn't be much better.

Therefore, Hyde does not intend to follow the wishes of those politicians this time.

"Cough cough cough—" Hyde coughed three times heavily and said, "Let's begin."

"it is good."

Elisa nodded knowingly and was about to make a move when Li Haoyi said, "Wait."

"Hmm? Is there anything else we haven't done?"
