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

Lu Yize picked up Jiang Yue's power ring, and Zheng Mu's power reminder appeared on the ring.

After the call connected, Chen Mingzhang appeared on the screen. Without delay, he continued what he hadn't finished saying.

"The fourth-tier sea beast meat you gave me before, the base has analyzed its relevant information. It has a fourth-tier fire-type ability, the flames are hot and have adhesive properties, and it is not afraid of water."

"Furthermore, according to the Second District Captain's speculation, after a beast advances to a certain level, it may be able to change its form, it may be able to return to its original form, or it may be able to transform into the appearance of a human."

Lu Yize frowned, "Transform into a human?"

"It's just a guess. It could be a human-like creature or a form adapted to land. There's no way to confirm it yet."

"However, the only thing that is certain is that the intelligence of this fourth-order sea beast and the ever-advancing giant deer is obviously higher than that of their kind."

"Besides the known fourth-tier sea beasts and fourth-tier giant deer, are there any other fourth-tier creatures?" Lu Yize asked.

Chen Mingzhang's expression was solemn. "Yes, some time ago, news came from the Beisha base that the Zombie King is also at the fourth level, and many new zombies have appeared under his command, causing great trouble for Beisha."

"Besides, outside the protection of the three major bases, zombies, alien beasts, and sea monsters devour the creatures even more recklessly, and there must be quite a few high-level creatures as well."

Corpses littered the ground, and bombardment had no effect; instead, it exacerbated the mutation.

Lu Yize and Chen Mingzhang exchanged information and also discussed how to lure the sea monsters and the alien beasts together so that they could fight each other.

"According to the people at Donggu Base, this rainstorm will probably stop completely in two days, at which time the beast tide will arrive. You should prepare as soon as possible."

After Chen Mingzhang informed Lu Yize of the information calculated by the Donggu Base, the two then speculated on the timing of the sea monsters' landing.

When do you think they will come?

Lu Yize recalled the fourth-tier sea beast from which he had torn a piece of flesh, and a smile appeared on his lips as he confidently said, "Tonight."

Chen Mingzhang, who had guessed the same way, revealed his signature squinty-eyed smile, "It would be a shame not to treat them to something."

"We've already arranged for people to deal with the first wave of sea monsters, so don't worry about it," Chen Mingzhang told Lu Yize to conserve his supernatural abilities.

The two discussed the arrangements again, and when they ended the call, the others had already gotten hooked and formed a circle, putting their arms around each other's shoulders.

"And then what? And then what? What exactly happened between your Second District Captain and Fifth District Captain?"

Just as Fan Jian was still pressing him with questions, Zheng Lin was about to continue his storytelling when Chen Mingzhang called out to him, and he immediately shut up.

"Hey?! Finish your story before you leave. You're keeping me hanging on like this, I won't be able to sleep for days."

Fan Jian's attempts to persuade Lu Yize to stay went unanswered, as Lu Yize also took back the special ability ring in his possession.

Fan Jian didn't want to let go at first, but when he saw Lu Yize, he awkwardly said, "Brother Lu."

When Lu Yize walked over, Zhang Wenjing immediately stood up straight and kept her distance from the gossip leader.

"Ahem, Xiaobai and I are going back to cultivate first. Xiaobai is a bit restless, probably because he's about to advance in rank."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xue pushed her wheelchair and followed closely behind, saying, "You're about to advance to the next level, so you might feel uncomfortable. I'll go with you and see if there's anything I can do to help."

"These two are such hypocrites. They were listening with more enthusiasm than anyone else just now, but now they're running so fast. Tsk tsk tsk." Fan Jian muttered to himself.

Xian Wenrui patted Fan Jian on the shoulder out of loyalty, only to find his hand frostbitten. Speechless, he said, "Fan Jian, can't you control your superpower?"

Upon hearing his words, Fan Jiancai noticed that his superpowers were showing again. "Tsk, what's with these superpowers? Why are they so disobedient? Don't you guys know how to use them?"

"No way, if I were like you, it would be like you wetting the bed every day!"

Xian Wenrui turned to look at Lu Yize, pointed at Fan Jian, and asked, "Brother Lu, what's wrong with Fan Jian?"

Lu Yize used his mental power to examine Fan Jian's ability core and found nothing wrong. "No problem, it's probably because his ability has just advanced and is still a bit unstable."

After saying that, he withdrew his mental energy, but at the very moment he did so, Fan Jian instinctively shuddered and turned to look around. "Something feels off."

Lu Yize had not expected that Fan Jian could still vaguely sense the presence of spiritual power after entering the second stage.

However, this is no exception. The stronger one's mental strength, the stronger one's talent, and vice versa. Judging from the speed of advancement, Fan Jian's talent is not weak, and naturally his mental strength level is also good.

"Go back and hurry up and absorb the crystal cores, otherwise things won't be so comfortable later."

After Lu Yize finished speaking, he took Jiang Yue into his special ability space and brought her back to his room.

Left behind, Fan Jian and Xian Wenrui looked deathly pale. Fan Jian wailed, "I can't bear to leave this life. Why did these damned sea monsters have to come ashore? Why did that giant deer have to migrate for no reason? I really..."

"Come on, stop howling. Your hoarse voice is really awful. Get up and start practicing. Let's go, let's go." Xian Wen kicked Fan Jian's leg to stop him from being half-dead.

After returning to the room, Lu Yize released Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue, in her advanced state, was calmer and more normal than before, most likely because she had a sufficient amount of superpower cores throughout the process.

Previously, it was somewhat difficult for the zombie to absorb the crystal core, but this time the advancement was obviously much smoother.

Lu Yize thought Jiang Yue would be able to advance the next day, but he didn't expect that the advancement speed was slower than before, and she hadn't been able to advance for two days.

Zhang Wenjing was in charge of gathering information when her supernatural power was suddenly knocked back by a force, causing her to fall to the ground.

Sheng Xue stepped forward to help her up, while simultaneously treating her, asking with concern, "What happened?"

Zhang Wenjing grabbed Sheng Xue's arm, her face pale. "The first wave of alien beasts has begun invading the central base!"

At this moment, inside the central base, a black gorilla was emitting purple supernatural power, and purple smoke enveloped most of the people inside the central base.

Feeling the strange sensation in his body, Chen Mingzhang knelt on one knee, his forehead covered in a thick layer of sweat.

Zheng Mu, standing beside him, hugged her arms with tears in her eyes, leaning against the wall in a disheveled state, panting.

"Brother Mingzhang! Sister! What's wrong?"

Zheng Lin was completely bewildered, unable to understand why he was unaffected, but he still held his breath and focused to avoid being entangled by the strange purple smoke.

He couldn't understand why this mutated gorilla's superpowers would affect even powerful figures like Mingzhang and his sister!

Chen Mingzhang, panting heavily, glanced around the base and saw that those who had been infected were mostly adults.

No, some adults are fine too, like Zhu Lei, who looks completely bewildered right now.

Chen Mingzhang vaguely understood the gorilla's special ability.

Damn, this is really... low-class!
