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

The grandfather and grandson were quite lucky; their route into the city overlapped with that of Lu Yize and his companion. Lu Yize, in order to collect more zombie crystals, didn't let any zombies go unpunished along the way.

They followed behind Lu Yize and managed to enter the city safely, albeit with some difficulty. The old woman was terrified as she looked at the zombie corpses along the way.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough to encounter the main force entering the city, and should eventually be able to reach the temporary base in the city safely.

After killing a series of zombies, Lu Yize had very little water left in his space. He kept most of the water resources in the safe house, since leaving water in the space was not a wise move.

He left some edible water in case of emergency.

At that moment, I thought it would be very convenient to have someone with water-based superpowers by my side.

However, the thought only lasted for a moment before he quickly put it out of his mind.

Lu Yize drove the car with Jiang Yue, who was unusually well-behaved and quiet the whole way, to the nearest shopping mall.

The mall was in chaos, with zombies everywhere. However, since it was the early stages of the apocalypse, there were probably still many survivors in the mall, but what did that have to do with him?

Before they even got off the bus, they had already witnessed a spectacular show.

Shopping malls and other crowded places become the places where zombies gather most after the mutation.

Meanwhile, a chubby boy was running wildly with a woman in his arms.

As the saying goes, enemies are destined to meet. The woman being dragged along was, by sheer coincidence, none other than Cui Yingying, Lu Yize's enemy from a past life.

Lu Yize neither got out of the car nor offered to help, and just watched helplessly as they awkwardly tried to climb onto another vehicle.

The fat man was quite gentlemanly; he helped Cui Yingying into the car first. Just as he was about to ask Cui Yingying to help him up, the zombies surrounded them.

Cui Yingying is a selfish woman, so why would she care about the life or death of a fat man?

She shook off his hand as if afraid he would cling to her, and even pushed him into the pile of zombies.

The chubby boy had never experienced the evil of the apocalypse and did not expect things to develop this way. While he was still in shock, the zombies had already surrounded him, and one of them bit his shoulder.

At this moment, Cui Yingying frantically climbed into the driver's seat, crying out, "You've been infected by zombies! I... I can't let you go back!"

After saying that, she drove away. Just before her car was out of sight, Lu Yize used his supernatural ability to blow up the tires. Cui Yingying screamed in fright, and zombies surrounded the car.

Seeing this, Lu Yize withdrew his gaze. Unexpectedly, taking advantage of the moment he made his move, the zombie that had been obediently by his side suddenly jumped off the car and ran towards the direction where the group of zombies were.

Watching her departing figure, Lu Yize was instantly filled with resentment.

Jiang Yue jumped out of the car, not for any other reason than because she smelled food. She ran into the zombie horde, wanting to monopolize the food in front of her that smelled different.

The fat man noticed that some girls were squeezing into the circle. He thought that since he was going to die anyway, he might as well save one girl if he could.

The fat man suddenly stood up and grabbed one of the zombies, creating an opening in the circle.

He turned and yelled at the girl wearing a strange helmet, "Go away, don't worry about me, I've been infected!"

Jiang Yue was startled by his sudden voice. She couldn't understand what the food was saying, but she just wanted to go forward and share the food with the zombies.

But before she could make a move, she found herself trapped in place. She immediately realized it was the work of another "food" and turned to roar at Lu Yize, who was approaching with a gloomy face.

If the fat man hadn't been surrounded by zombies, he would have noticed her unusual behavior.

Lu Yize is not a good-tempered person. He can tolerate Jiang Yue in everything, but he will not allow her to leave.

Lu Yize's eyes were icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

The zombie in front of him realized the danger and tried to retreat, but her retreating action angered Lu Yize.

When she came to her senses, she found herself locked in a room with plenty of food.

For a zombie driven solely by the instinct to eat, this is not a punishment, but a reward.

Moreover, Lu Yize had specifically placed three zombie crystal cores in this room, which should keep the zombie quiet for a while.

Lu Yize originally didn't want to care about the fat man's life or death, but considering the slight kindness he had shown Jiang Yue just now, he didn't mind going to the trouble of saving his life.

Lu Yize walked to the place where the zombies gathered, gathered his supernatural power, and the next moment, the brains of these zombies were instantly separated from their bodies. The brains were in a compressed space with unbalanced pressure, and their brain matter splattered everywhere.

In an instant, Lu Yize killed the five level-zero zombies surrounding the fat man. The zombie's flesh fell to the ground and onto the fat man's body.

"It's you!!"

The fat man thought he was going to die, but he was surprised to be rescued. He recognized Lu Yize as the person he had met twice in the neighborhood.

However, he soon lay dejectedly on the ground again, saying, "You really do have special abilities just like me. But you'd better leave now, I've been bitten by a zombie, and I might turn into one myself at any time."

After Lu Yize retrieved the five zombie crystal cores scattered on the ground, he glanced at the wounded man lying on the ground, waiting to die.

"Can't die."

Upon hearing Lu Yize's words, the fat man's eyes widened instantly, and he eagerly asked, "Really? Won't I mutate into a zombie?"

"will not."

Although Lu Yize's words were concise, they inexplicably gave people a sense of conviction.

The chubby boy, who had been feeling extremely aches all over his body, immediately moved his limbs, as if... he really wasn't in the process of dying.

Upon realizing he might survive, his expression instantly changed, his chubby face contorted with rage.

"Damn it! That bitch Cui Yingying actually pushed me into a pile of zombies, pretending to be all human. She's definitely no good! If it weren't for Li Anchang's sake, who would want to take her along!"

Lu Yize felt nothing about the bad things he said about Cui Yingying; what mattered more to him at that moment were the five sticky crystal cores covered in brain matter in his hand.

"Some water."

His cold words interrupted the fat man's incessant chatter. Upon hearing this, the fat man scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

She met Lu Yize's gaze, then he hesitantly reached out and painstakingly gathered a drop of water, which landed on the crystal core in Lu Yize's hand.

Let alone brain matter, if your eyesight is poor, you might not even notice this drop of water.

The chubby boy scratched his head awkwardly, "This, this really isn't my sweat. I don't know where it came from. It's probably water from the air. Wait a minute, I'll try harder. I should be able to squeeze out another drop of water in five minutes."

Lu Yize: ...
