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

After spending a night in the safe house, both Lu Yize and the little zombie were in much better spirits.

After all, with no one to bother her here, and no food to tempt her, the zombie could only give up and obediently eat meat.

Lu Yize glanced at the date: September 7, 2024. At this point, there were only seven days left before the comet's descent and the official onset of the apocalypse.

In fact, there were already signs of the impending apocalypse during this period.

Temperatures in many areas have reached 60 degrees Celsius, and the persistent subtropical high pressure system is preventing temperatures in coastal areas from dropping.

The typhoon continued to grow stronger at sea, surface temperatures continued to rise, plate tectonics intensified, and, at this time, quite a few zombies had already appeared.

The zombie virus had been spreading among the population for a long time; it was only the arrival of the comet that ignited it completely.

At that time, the entire world will be completely overturned, and human history will be rewritten.

The zombie virus divided people into three categories.

There are three categories: First, those who promote genetic evolution and possess supernatural powers; second, those who are infected by the zombie virus, fail to evolve, and become ordinary zombies; and third, ordinary people who have not yet been infected by the zombie virus and have not evolved.

In his previous life, Lu Yize was used as a test subject for studying superpowers. In the following ten years, he continued to experiment with the few remaining superpower cores. It can be said that no one in the world understands superpowers better than him.

After the apocalypse, humanity split into several factions, each controlling the situation based on their base location. Excluding smaller bases, there are three main human factions, forming a tripartite balance of power.

Among them, the Beisha Base, located in the extremely cold northern region, is known for its formidable strength, regardless of gender. Even ordinary people without awakened superpowers are still capable of killing zombies with their bare hands.

Another faction, the Xiyue Base, worships supernatural powers and believes that the zombie virus outbreak in the apocalypse is a test of survival of the fittest for humanity.

Because of their claims, the population in their jurisdiction decreased sharply, and the remaining people were clearly divided into those with superpowers and those who served them as slaves.

They are based on martial prowess; whoever has the strongest superpower becomes the leader of the base, and countless battles and plundering ensu.

In the later stages, when the population became scarce, they used high profits to lure people with superpowers from other bases, large and small, to join them.

Besides these two bases, the remaining base is the Eastern Ancient Base, a major power located in the east.

Based on the belief of human coexistence, they maintain a balance between superhumans and ordinary people to a certain extent, while also constantly researching how to turn infected zombies back to normal.

In his previous life, when the apocalypse had just broken out, Lu Yize had no choice but to join the nearest small base, which was not even a big name in the eastern region.

However, in order to make contact with the people at the Donggu Base, Dong Hong has been trying to make a breakthrough in superpower research, and Lu Yize is his best test subject.

Now that he has a second chance, Lu Yize is no longer burdened by Cui Yingying's family and has built a safe house in advance. He does not plan to rejoin the original small base.

No, in other words, he was more interested in destroying the base.

In fact, for humans, mutated zombies are probably the easiest enemies to deal with in the apocalypse. The real troublesome enemies in the apocalypse are mutated plants and animals, as well as marine life.

Like an ant that could be easily crushed before the apocalypse, in the apocalypse, humans might just be a piece of meat in its mouth, not even enough to fill its stomach.

A blade of grass that could once be trampled to death can be stimulated to grow a hundred or a thousand times, then entangle and devour people, becoming their nourishment.

Plants and animals eat people, eat zombies, zombies eat people, and people eat mutated plants and animals. In the end, the apocalypse is a world where people eat each other.

Lu Yize pondered that during this period, he still needed to purchase enough supplies and weapons, both cold and firearms, in case of unforeseen circumstances.

However, a text message soon interrupted Lu Yize's thoughts.

He glanced at it, initially thinking it was Cui Yingying's family, whom he had blocked, but then realized it was a private investigator he had hired.

[Someone must have tampered with Jiang Yue's information. I spent some time deciphering part of it, but I can't do anything about the rest.]

Lu Yize was once again certain of the strangeness in his heart. When he was in a semi-conscious state, Jiang Yue had indeed destroyed the crystal core in the zombie's brain.

So she must have known about the zombie mutation at that time.

Who exactly is Jiang Yue?

Jiang Yue, who was being stared at by Lu Yize, instinctively made a defensive move, but was also ready to pounce on her prey and bite at any moment. However, before she could make a move, Lu Yize used his superpower to trap her in place.

Jiang Yue is indeed smarter than ordinary zombies, especially since she has been eating a lot of flesh and blood recently. She has learned to assess situations better than she did at the beginning.

At least after Lu Yize used his superpower, she knew to stop attacking.

"Come here, let me see your information."

According to Lu Yize's understanding of zombies, zombies should also have a hierarchy, and intelligent zombies will choose to obey higher-ranking zombies in order to ensure their own survival.

Jiang Yue's future superpower is mental, which probably influences her to be much smarter than ordinary zombies.

Upon hearing Lu Yize's orders, who was stronger than her, she would also sheathe her claws and choose to obey.

However, he was probably thinking about how to launch a sneak attack. But Lu Yize didn't care about that. After trapping the zombie in his arms, he opened the documents in his hand.

[Jiang Yue, age nineteen, birthday September 21]

Upon seeing his age, Lu Yize raised an eyebrow. "Not bad, it's good that he's an adult."

Now that I think about it, her birthday seems to be coming up soon, and Lu Yize is thinking about what he should give her.

However, none of this mattered at the moment. Lu Yize composed himself and continued reading.

[A native of Beijing, an only child, parents' occupations unknown, family assets exceeding 100 million yuan, no romantic history, and no romantic interests.]

Lu Yize looked at the zombie in his arms that was trying to sneakily bite his hand. Before the apocalypse, she was a rich young lady who had never suffered much.

Who could have imagined that after the apocalypse, she would lose her hands and legs for someone like him, live in a leaky basement, and be constantly attacked by alien beasts?

Lu Yize read through Jiang Yue's brief information word by word. After reading it, he still didn't know her true situation, but it didn't matter.

Seeing her sniffing his hand incessantly, saliva dripping down, Lu Yize held the zombie in his arms. Taking advantage of this moment, the zombie bit Lu Yize's hand.

Lu Yize's expression didn't change at all.

If he hadn't allowed it, why would he have removed her gag and let her bite?

Lu Yize held the zombie in his arms, his eyes filled with a strange and dangerous gaze.

"No one can hurt you again in this lifetime."
