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

To improve his mental strength, he would most likely need to absorb a mental crystal core or a mental ability core. Lu Yize recalled how a group of ability users had surrounded and attacked him and Jiang Yue in his previous life.

What those people were after was Jiang Yue's fourth-order mental crystal core.

Recalling those faces from back then, Lu Yize felt his blood boil. What a pity, what a pity, that he hadn't met them yet.

Lu Yize had no intention of letting go of either Dong Hong or the water-based ability user who had driven them to the brink of despair.

Lu Yize projected his spiritual energy outwards, keeping an eye on Xian Wenrui and the others.

Aside from Zhang Wenjing, who is mentally strong, the one with the strongest mental power among them is actually Fan Jian, who seems the most unreliable.

Lu Yize stared at Fan Jian, who had no idea how to control his superpowers but always managed to kill alien beasts by sheer luck. His ice-type superpowers were more like decorations.

At this moment, Fan Jian used ice to condense a two-meter-long sword, wielding the ice blade to cut off the head of the approaching monster, using his superpower in the simplest and most brutal way.

Seeing how effective the ice blade was, Fan Jian leaned against Xian Wenrui and asked, "Fatty, want to try one?"

"Okay, let me give it a try."

Xian Wenrui didn't object; as long as it was effective, that was fine. Perhaps his water-based abilities could also be used as a reference.

Fan Jian quickly conjured an identical ice blade and handed it to Xian Wenrui, saying, "Here, take this."

While defending against the relentless attacks of the zombie shrimp, Xian Wenrui took the ice blade from Fan Jian.

But the next moment, Xian Wenrui fell to the ground, hand and all, exclaiming, "Damn, what is this thing? It's so heavy!"

"Ice Blade, is it heavy? Is it alright?"

As Fan Jian spoke, he brandished his ice blade and killed a writhing, leaping zombie shrimp.

"Forget it, whoever has the ability is probably the most useful. I can't use it."

Xian Wenrui tried to use his water-based superpowers to condense water blades and pierce the brains of these mutated shrimp.

Little White discovered their location, and the number of zombie shrimp kept increasing, gradually surrounding them. Without hesitation, it roared towards the sky.

With the roar, dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning flashing and thunderous sounds echoing within the black clouds, as the gradually lowering clouds pressed closer and closer to them.

The zombie shrimp that surrounded them continued their mindless attack on the food, and even the deafening thunder could not make them retreat.

Until the thunder and lightning struck from beneath the clouds, with the thunderous roar of drums, the first bolt of lightning ripped through the sky like a sharp sword, striking straight at the densest area of ​​the zombie shrimp.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of zombie shrimp were struck by lightning and instantly turned into charcoal. The ground was charred black, the mountain shook, the snow on the mountaintop loosened, and huge waves of snow crashed down with a roar.

"noob!"

Zhang Wenjing was the first to sense the unusual activity in the mountain and called out to Xiaobai.

Little White immediately understood, picked up the remaining people who hadn't reacted yet, threw them all onto its back, and ran towards the base.

"what's the situation?"

Fan Jian grabbed Xiao Bai's fur, looked back, and saw a huge wave of snow cascading down from the mountaintop, burying the Zombie Shrimp behind him in thick snow.

"Holy crap, Dog Bro! Dog Bro, run faster! I'm counting on you! I'm counting on you!!"

As Fan Jian said this, he formed an ice wall behind him, but the thin and brittle ice wall couldn't even stop the rolling snow for a second.

"Fatty!! Make a water wall!"

Zhang Wenjing patted Xian Wenrui, whose eyes were squinting from the wind. Xian Wenrui turned around and immediately cooperated by making a move. Fan Jian also seized the opportunity to make a move.

The thick curtain of water was immediately covered with frost and frozen, blocking the snow behind them from engulfing them. They were only three meters away from the base.

Cracks appeared in the frozen water curtain, spreading like shattered spider webs across the entire ice curtain. The next moment, the snow, which had been gathering its strength, burst through the water curtain.

At the same time, Xiaobai led everyone through the small door to shovel their way into the base, and a group of people were thrown to the ground.

The moment the base door was closed, some snow rushed in, and the surging snow slammed against the thick metal shell, producing a distorted, heavy sound.

The group looked up, disheveled and terrified, but thankfully they managed to rush back to the base at the last moment and keep the heavy snow out.

Exhausted of his superpowers, Xian Wenrui rolled over, closed his eyes, and gasped for breath. Fan Jian was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, and his double pupils nearly closed again.

"Are you okay?"

Sheng Xue pushed the wheelchair to Fan Jian's side with concern and checked on him. She found that his heart was just beating a little fast, as if it was the result of an adrenaline surge.

"My heart is beating a little fast, and my superpowers are being used up, but otherwise I'm fine."

Fan Jian reached up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "I was terrified. If it weren't for Brother Gou, we'd probably be the ones freezing outside right now."

Seeing that they were frightened, Zhang Wenjing kindly told a corny joke, "It's okay, we won't go hungry now, there are ingredients everywhere outside."

"That's true. I just saw that those zombie shrimp couldn't escape. But with the heavy snow blocking our base entrance, we can't get out either."

Fan Jian had already gotten up from the ground, his whole body covered in ice.

Lu Yize came downstairs with Jiang Yue, who was also dressed neatly. "Before the snow freezes, dig out all the crystal cores from their brains. After that, don't go out for the time being. Stay in the base to absorb the crystal cores."

Upon hearing Lu Yize's words, Fan Jian was the first to respond, "No problem, I'll go dig them out right now. But those zombie beasts are dead, right? They can't possibly still be alive, can they?"

He conjured an ice shovel, leaned against it, and spoke with a hint of fear.

"Most of them are dead, but some are half-dead, so be careful."

Lu Yize scanned them with his mental power and learned about their situation. Fan Jian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "Then I'm relieved."

But his mouth moved faster than his brain, and he quickly followed up with another question, "But how did you know, Brother Lu? You didn't go out at all, did you?"

Lu Yize did not answer Fan Jian's question, and Zhang Wenjing mistakenly thought it was Jiang Yue's special ability, so she did not dwell on it.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Fan Jian stopped talking and zipped up his mouth.

They were full of energy and planned to reopen the door to dig for crystal cores, but Xian Wenrui, panting heavily and exhausted, replied, "Brother Lu, I'll rest for a while longer."

Xian Wenrui could barely get up. Looking at Zhang Wenjing and Fan Jian, they had already recovered, while he and Xiao Bai, who had just been running wildly, were still panting heavily.

What kind of world is this?! Aren't these people tired?! Are they made of iron?! Is it really so good to be young? But aren't they all about the same age?!

"What rest? Fatty, quickly absorb two crystal cores to restore your powers, then we'll get to work together. Don't even think about escaping." Fan Jian dragged the half-dead Xian Wenrui outside.
