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

"Jiang Yue, do you still remember your parents?" Fan Jian turned to look at Jiang Yue and asked.

Jiang Yue has become somewhat more intelligent now. Since she can recognize Lu Yize, she might also be able to recall memories of her parents.

Lu Yize didn't stop him, but when he heard the words "parents," he frowned and felt a little annoyed.

If Jiang Yue had parents, why was she lying alone in the morgue? She had been dead for three days and no one had come to claim her.

Upon hearing the words "parents," Jiang Yue paused in her absorption of the crystal core, her mind went blank for a moment, and a hint of confusion appeared on her face.

He seemed to be deep in thought, or perhaps puzzled; his head gradually began to throb with pain.

"Forget it."

Lu Yize noticed that her expression was gradually distorting, and even her supernatural abilities were surging, so he spoke up to interrupt her thoughts.

Fan Jian, who asked the question, was currently having his mind invaded by Jiang Yue's mental power, turning his brain into a complete mess.

"I'm going to die, I feel my intelligence slipping away." Fan Jian clutched his head, swaying from side to side.

"Stop trying to scam me. You don't have much intelligence to begin with."

Xian Wenrui kicked Fan Jian, making him lie still.

Fan Jian was kicked to the ground. At least the world stopped spinning, but he still felt his head was throbbing.

Tsk, this feels like it's about to grow a brain?

Lu Yize pulled Jiang Yue along and tried to guide her with his mental power, but Jiang Yue not only refused to cooperate, but also stuffed all her vague memories into Lu Yize's mind.

The memories are so blurry that they are almost indistinct; all that can be heard is a little girl's voice, trembling as she calls out "brother."

Lu Yize opened his eyes, staring coldly at Jiang Yue, who was gradually calming down.

Brother? Who is Jiang Yue calling out to, and why is she calling out to him so affectionately?

Xian Wenrui sensitively withdrew his gaze, wondering what memories Jiang Yue had shown Brother Lu again. Brother Lu's face was now so gloomy it could drip water.

"I'll take her back to rest first."

Lu Yize pulled Jiang Yue back into the house, and Xian Wenrui immediately responded, "Ah, okay, I'll bring you some food later."

After everyone left, Xian Wenrui dragged the half-dead Fan Jian to the kitchen to help out.

Fan Jiantou was still dizzy and staggered, crawling like a zombie. His sudden opening of his eyes startled Xian Wenrui.

"Damn, can't you ask Sheng Xue to fix your eyes? Sometimes when I suddenly see them, it's really creepy. Who has two pupils on one eyeball?"

“I asked around, and Sheng Xue can’t be cured. Not to mention you, sometimes I even scare myself when I get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night,” Fan Jian said, also looking worried.

"I find this very strange. Isn't your superpower ice? Why are your eyes splitting? What's the logic behind this?"

Xian Wenrui was processing the exotic beast meat in his hands, while constantly complaining under his breath.

"I don't know. I also find it strange. Sheng Xue doesn't know either. Zhang Wenjing said that maybe my mind is confused, so I have an extra pair of pupils. I don't know if she's just kidding me."

Xian Wenrui turned to look at the expression on Zhang Wenjing's face as she said this. She looked very serious. So this guy still hasn't realized that Zhang Wenjing is telling a lame joke?

Never mind, I've known for a while that Fan Jian's brain surface is smooth.

"After I finish cooking this meat, take it to Brother Lu's room."

Fan Jian looked up. "That's possible, but why don't you deliver it yourself?"

Xian Wenrui's hands never stopped moving. In the past month or so, his cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds. "I'm full. Can I stop eating dog food?"

Fan Jian choked. So he was hungry and wanted to eat dog food, huh?

However, he was still hoping to get a free meal, so he reluctantly agreed.

After cooking dinner, Xian Wenrui brought a portion to Fan Jian, who squatted on the ground and ate it heartily.

"By the way, Fan Jian, do you know anything about Brother Lu's family? I've never heard him mention them, and it seems like I haven't seen them since the apocalypse."

Fan Jian was so hungry that he stuffed the stir-fried beast meat mixed with rice into his mouth, his mouth still full of rice. "Huh? Don't you know? Lu Yize's parents died a long time ago. He grew up in an orphanage."

"Holy crap... then why wasn't he adopted?"

Compared to these things, Fan Jian clearly cared more about the bowl of rice in the pot.

"What else could it be? I'm getting old, that's all. I don't remember exactly how old I was when I went to the orphanage, but I think I have some memory of it."

"Later, when I got older, I was admitted to the best junior high school in town. It was discovered that I had a talent for studying, so a wealthy person sponsored me to attend our high school. Ordinary people really couldn't afford to go to that high school."

Because he ate so quickly, Fan Jian choked and had to pick up the water next to him to wash the food down.

"I see. It seems he had a tough life before, and now he has to be bullied by rich kids like you who always cause trouble at school."

Upon hearing this, Fan Jian became agitated, "Are you kidding me? Who gets bullied and then has their head stitched up?"

"And my underlings, I can't even be bothered to mention them. They're all opportunists who just follow the wind. They see that Lu Yize has good grades and is good at fighting, and they turn around and acknowledge him as their big brother! Damn it!"

Fan Jian felt a pang of sadness when he recalled the past. "You wouldn't believe it, he was the oldest on the surface, but in private he smoked, drank, and fought all the time. He just looked respectable."

Xian Wenrui scooped a few more spoonfuls of rice into his dog bowl, unable to understand how this former rich kid had become such a glutton.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited. If you get excited, you won't be able to control your powers and you'll be freezing cold."

"I didn't use any superpowers."

As soon as Fan Jian finished speaking, the two finally realized that something was wrong.

Xian Wenrui channeled his superpower into his superpower ring and then saw that the outdoor temperature had gradually dropped to sixteen degrees Celsius.

The outdoor temperature was originally around 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, but in just a few minutes, it suddenly dropped by 40 degrees Celsius.

The two went outside the base and found that there were many strange and restless plants and animals outside the base.

The drastic temperature change made them, who were wearing short sleeves, feel a chill.

Do you think the temperature will drop again?

Fan Jian stared at the thermometer next to the base gate and noticed that the temperature had dropped another three degrees in just a few minutes. The sudden drop in temperature made his heart sink as well.

"I don't know. I'll go back and change my clothes first. I guess we'll have to go through that severe cold again."

Xian Wenrui didn't dare to linger there. He carried the cold rice to Lu Yize's door. By the time he arrived, Lu Yize had already come out.

"Brother Lu, the temperature has suddenly dropped by tens of degrees."

"You and Fan Jian reinforce the damaged areas within the base."

After Lu Yize finished speaking, he didn't stop walking and hurried towards the central control room deep inside the base.

The door opened, revealing a gray-black main control panel that gleamed with electricity, featuring a pull-out handle in the center.

Lu Yize stepped forward, gathering a large amount of supernatural power in his hands before pushing it forward. As he operated it, a tremor suddenly came from outside the base, and drums sounded.
