What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

Zhu Lei didn't understand the deeper meaning behind his words. "What do you mean, 'not necessarily'?"

Her squinting eyes returned to a smile. "Nothing. By the way, did you send out the things you sent to Captain He?"

In the post-apocalyptic world, sending things is far less convenient than before the apocalypse, but fortunately, the existence of superpowers makes up for the shortcomings in transportation.

There are twins in the Donggu base who awakened the same spatial ability at the same time.

However, their special ability is rather unique; if viewed in isolation, it is simply the ability to store space.

But what makes them special is that they share a space.

One person can use their supernatural abilities to store items into their space, and another person can retrieve those items from the same space.

They can act as spatial mediators to facilitate spatial communication.

However, due to the special nature of their abilities, the two rarely see each other. For example, when Chen Mingzhang came to the control center base this time, he brought along the younger of the twins.

"It's been sent out; Xi should receive it today."

Zhu Lei's injuries have healed, but his throat is still sore. However, he has already returned to work and is trying his best to make up for the mistakes he made last time.

"Ah That's good."

Chen Mingzhang leaned wearily against the passenger seat, reviewing the last operation in his mind.

Zhu Lei's bracelet lit up. It was a special energy ring that the Donggu Base had recently provided for people with superpowers. It was for transmitting information and needed to be activated with superpowers.

"Captain, news has come from the base that the Zombie King is migrating into the territory of Beisha and its forces are growing stronger. Also, news has come from the Xiyue base that a high-level mutated giant deer that can speak human language has appeared."

Chen Mingzhang's face turned grave upon hearing this news.

A zombie king, a mutated giant deer that can speak human language, turbulent marine life, and increasingly extreme weather.

Humans, zombies, and mutated plants and animals are all constantly vying for limited living space.

Chen Mingzhang activated his supernatural power, inputting information into the electronic ring and transmitting it.

At that moment, a vibration came from inside the black box.

Fan Jian, who was holding the box, glanced down at the black box and blurted out before he could think, "Holy crap, it vibrates? What kind of shady stuff did Chen Mingzhang put in there?"

The lids of the boxes were all open, revealing the inside completely. Because of the strange noises Fan Jian made, the group stopped in their tracks.

"Oh, it looks like an electronic bracelet bouncing around."

After Fan Jian saw it clearly, a slight disappointment appeared on his face; he had thought it was something else entirely.

Lu Yize took out a completely black bracelet and channeled his supernatural power into it.

Others may not understand this, but he is someone who has returned more than ten years later and knows that this is a post-apocalyptic communication tool.

I didn't expect that the superpower ring had been developed so early. Although the version is not as good as the superpower rings that will be available more than ten years later, at least it can be used for communication.

After the supernatural power was input, a transparent screen appeared on the surface of the bracelet, displaying the message sent by Chen Mingzhang.

"Brother Lu, what is this?!"

Before the apocalypse, Xian Wenrui was a homebody who spent almost all his money on electronic devices. Now, when he saw this bracelet powered by supernatural abilities, his eyes lit up instantly.

"There are a few more power rings at the bottom of the box. Take one each."

Chen Mingzhang prepared a special ability ring for everyone present, and Lu Yize checked it to make sure there were no problems before letting them wear it.

"Powered by supernatural abilities? How do you send messages?"

Xian Wenrui fiddled with the thing, but couldn't figure out how to use it.

It looks much the same as a mosquito repellent bracelet, except that the texture is slightly better; it's metal instead of rubber.

"When you input your superpower into it, a floating interface will appear. Then, just like using a mobile phone, you can input text and send it according to the other party's superpower ring number, which is similar to sending a text message."

Lu Yize demonstrated it to them, and with a "ding," a green light flashed on the surface of the other superpower ring he was holding.

He input his ability again, and information appeared on the surface of the ability ring.

"Once the ability ring is bound to an ability, it can detect information. Other people's abilities cannot be activated. Only the bound ability can detect information."

The others tried it as he instructed, and it wasn't difficult to use their superpowers to drive the superpower ring.

When he saw the superpower ring actually activated, Xian Wenrui was extremely excited. "Brother Lu, superpowers can be used like this?! If so, wouldn't we be able to control mechs too?!"

"Like in sci-fi movies, controlling mechs in battle? Wouldn't that wipe out a whole horde of zombies in one move? That would be so incredibly cool!"

Lu Yize neither discouraged nor encouraged him, but simply said truthfully, "You can try."

In the early days of the apocalypse in his previous life, Lu Yize was kept in a laboratory and subjected to inhumane experiments. It wasn't until several years after he was rescued by Jiang Yue that he was able to access information from the outside world again.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, some people did indeed research mechs. I heard that someone in the North City successfully created a mech controlled by superpowers and even killed a fourth-tier zombie.

However, for some unknown reason, the mecha that person was controlling suddenly went out of control, and in the end, the mecha and he exploded together, with the impact covering a very wide area.

One failure is nothing, but since then, everyone has tacitly stopped building mechs.

It seems they've completely given up on this path; the mechs appear briefly, then quickly perish.

Zhang Wenjing wasn't that interested in the special ability ring; she was clearly more interested in the other information inside the black box.

"Can I look at these materials?" Zhang Wenjing asked eagerly.

Lu Yize glanced at the information and found that the information Chen Mingzhang and the others had access to was similar to what he knew in the later stages of the apocalypse, with little room for further research.

"Look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wenjing, fearing he might change his mind, quickly snatched the paper and scanned its contents.

Based on current research, humans have roughly divided zombies into 0-6 levels. Like humans, zombies can advance to higher levels, and these advancements are also when they are most vulnerable.

Level 0 zombies correspond to ordinary humans, while level 1 zombies gradually become like superhumans, gaining sentience and slowly approaching the level of humans.

It is currently known that the energy sources of human superhumans and zombies are subtly similar.

Humans rely on a special energy core in their abdomen to operate their energy, while zombies maintain their lives with a crystal core in the center of their forehead.

However, there is a difference between crystal cores and ability cores. The crystal cores of the lowest-level zombies are usually red, and the color of the crystal cores will change as the zombies advance.

Only after zombies learn to control their superpowers will the color of the crystal core be destined to stabilize into the elemental color of the superpower.

The difference between the superpower core and the superpower core is that the superpower core has a fixed color from the beginning.

According to research from the Donggu Base, the limit for both humans and zombies should only be the sixth rank.
