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

Chen Mingzhang and Zheng Mu stiffened. Zheng Mu turned around and smiled at Jiang Yue, saying, "Your clothes are all soaked. Come on, let me take you to change."

Zheng Lin's eyes widened. Was his sister completely ignoring his question?!

He turned to look at Chen Mingzhang in disbelief, only to find that his brother Chen had already turned to discuss the sea monsters with Lu Yize.

Something's wrong, something's wrong.

Zheng Lin rested his chin on his hand, frowning in thought. There shouldn't be any work that needed to be discussed in a room late at night.

But is it possible they already knew about Lu Yize? And were they preparing together inside the house? But why in the bedroom?

While Zheng Lin was brainstorming, Chen Mingzhang and Lu Yize were discussing what had just happened. They conservatively estimated that the number of sea monsters invading was at least tens of thousands.

Lu Yize tossed out a few low-level sea beasts he had casually brought back from his spatial storage. "These low-level sea beasts don't seem to use any special abilities. I'm not sure about the specifics, but you can study them."

"Thanks."

Chen Mingzhang didn't stand on ceremony with Lu Yize. He instructed his subordinates to store the mutated sea beasts, planning to teleport them back to the Donggu Base so that the people there could use their supernatural abilities to detect them.

After he finished packing his things, he noticed that Lu Yize was dripping wet. "Do you want to change your clothes?"

"No need, we'll be going back soon."

Chen Mingzhang was not surprised to hear this. He shook his head and smiled. This man was as wary as ever.

"Okay, I'll send you a message once the base sends back a reply."

After speaking, Chen Mingzhang took out several ability storage rings, "These are light-type, fire-type, sound-type, and plant-type abilities respectively. Take them for now, just in case."

The storage ring for light-based superpowers proved quite useful at sea this time.

Lu Yize took the storage ring and fell into deep thought. This kind of superpower storage ring is quite useful. In fact, for ordinary people, if they could buy a storage ring, it might be able to save their lives in a necessary situation.

However, in the previous life, during the fifteen years of the apocalypse, these supernatural ability storage rings were not widely used.

Things that could be manufactured in the early days of the apocalypse have not been updated or popularized even fifteen years later.

Lu Yize suppressed his doubts and looked up, saying casually, "Your base has quite a few talented people."

Chen Mingzhang didn't hide anything, "Our base has a dedicated team responsible for research on superpowers. They are all top talents from before the apocalypse. After all, the emergence of superpowers has a significant impact, so naturally, there are supporting equipment available."

At this point, Chen Mingzhang shrugged helplessly, "Besides, as you know, after the outbreak of the disease, the original water and electricity supply system was destroyed and difficult to repair. In comparison, it is more convenient to use superpowers directly."

“A first-level lightning-type ability user can provide electricity for more than a thousand people per day. The same applies to water-type ability users. In the Donggu base, ability users have gradually replaced some modern equipment.”

Chen Mingzhang laughed as he said, "If we wait until the situation stabilizes, who knows, maybe in the future, children will be studying superpowers when they go to school, and college majors will also be divided according to superpowers. It's quite interesting to think about."

Zheng Lin chimed in at this point, "However, the researchers at the base said that after awakening their superpowers, superhumans live three to five times longer than ordinary humans, but their birth rate becomes very low. Will they even be able to have children in the future?"

He thought for a moment and then crossed his arms. "We haven't heard any news of a couple with superpowers having a child from our base yet. I guess kids will be a rare commodity in the future."

Lu Yize didn't care about being a child or not, nor was he interested in it. However, after learning that the lifespan of a superhuman was three to five times that of an ordinary person, Lu Yize asked, "What about the lifespan of a zombie?"

Chen Mingzhang and Zheng Lin turned around. Zheng Lin, that brat at the age of being arrogant, immediately leaned forward with a cheeky grin and said, "You're worried about your zombie, aren't you?"

Chen Mingzhang pulled Zheng Lin back, afraid that Lu Yize would teleport him to the seaside to feed the sea monsters. "The people in the base have also done genetic testing on the zombies. They are the same as the superhumans, and their lifespans have increased as well."

"However, no method has yet been found to turn zombies back into humans, and all injections to combat the zombie virus have failed."

Lu Yize recalled what Sheng Xue had told him before: "Second-tier healing ability users can purify themselves when they are first infected with the zombie virus. Sheng Xue said that if needed, she would cooperate with vaccine development."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mingzhang stepped forward, unable to contain his excitement. "Really?! A second-tier healing ability can purify the zombie virus?"

"It can only purify people who have just been infected with the virus and have not yet turned into zombies. Those who have already become zombies have had their genes altered and cannot be reversed."

"It's alright, this is enough."

Chen Mingzhang thought of those who had sacrificed their lives after being infected with the virus and could only commit suicide. If a corresponding injection could be developed, these people would not have to sacrifice themselves.

Although he was eager to see Sheng Xue, Chen Mingzhang knew that it wasn't the right time yet, and he couldn't guarantee that he could safely send Sheng Xue back to the Donggu base in extreme circumstances.

However, he still had to ensure Sheng Xue's safety. Chen Mingzhang took off a supernatural energy storage ring from his hand and said, "You can leave this to Sheng Xue."

Lu Yize sensed the powerful energy fluctuations within the storage ring. Seeing the wariness in Lu Yize's eyes, Chen Mingzhang explained, "It's a defensive ability that can withstand a third-tier attack."

After checking and finding that it was indeed as he said, Lu Yize did not refuse on Sheng Xue's behalf. "Thanks, I'll have her contact you later."

Chen Mingzhang smiled and said, "That would be perfect."

As the captain of the third district of the Donggu Base, he naturally had to worry about the ordinary people in the base. It would be good if humanity could reduce some losses and have more people survive.

After Jiang Yue changed her clothes and came out, Lu Yize didn't linger any longer and took Xiaobai, who was a little flustered after taking a shower, back to the base.

Staring wide-eyed at the vortex that appeared in the sky, Zheng Lin asked Chen Mingzhang after everyone had left, "Brother, how far can his spatial teleportation reach?"

"It's about ten kilometers, I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be able to teleport to the Donggu Base. It's thousands of kilometers away from here, and Lu Yize probably can't teleport that distance yet."

Zheng Lin sighed regretfully, "Okay."

They had barely finished speaking when Zhu Lei rushed in, "Captain! The snowfall outside the base is gradually decreasing, but the air humidity is gradually increasing!"

"Go out and see."

Chen Mingzhang led his men outside. By then, the snow had stopped, but a few drops of rain had begun to fall sporadically. The rain gradually intensified, and it only took a few minutes for the snow to stop and the rain to turn into a downpour.

"Earth-type ability users strengthen the defenses, light-type ability users add a protective circle to the outermost perimeter, and the rest of you hold the entrance."

As soon as Chen Mingzhang finished speaking, the others began to move. Thick branches sprouted from the ground, forming an intricate vine cage along the circle of light outside the base.
