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

"Oh." Little Fatty instantly remembered the noise he heard upstairs before the apocalypse, and he slapped his forehead.

"Oh right, I forgot, Brother Lu, you have a girlfriend now. By the way, did you succeed in proposing last time? Where's your girlfriend? I haven't seen her."

Lu Yize found that this person talked a lot of nonsense, but when it came to Jiang Yue, he didn't mind saying a few words.

"The proposal was successful, but it was too dangerous outside, so I didn't let her come out."

When Xian Wenrui realized that Lu Yize, who had always been aloof, was paying attention to him, he immediately grasped the key point and understood.

So this cold and aloof Brother Lu only wants to talk about things related to his wife?

"I hope I'll have the chance to meet your wife. Someone who can win over Brother Lu must be no ordinary person."

Xian Wenrui scratched his head, looking envious. He also longed to be in a relationship, having been single for over twenty years and still a virgin.

He was afraid that once he turned thirty, he would become a legendary magician.

Seeing the fat man scratching his head in the back seat, I decided to forget about it and not tell him that he had just met the sister-in-law he was talking about, and that his sister-in-law was no ordinary person, or even human.

It's probably because talking about his sister-in-law reminded the fat man of the girl he had just risked his life to save.

"Brother Lu, did you see a girl when you came over? She's completely different from Cui Yingying. She actually risked her life to save me!! Do you think she might have a crush on me all this time?!"

Lu Yize glanced at him in the rearview mirror, sneered, and thought that it would be too kind of him to just throw the person out of the car now.

"She is your sister-in-law."

"?!"

The atmosphere inside the car froze instantly. Xian Wenrui's toes almost pinched the car seat cushion. He let out a smirk, "Haha, this, hahaha, so it's your sister-in-law. Just as kind-hearted as you, brother."

"By the way, where's my sister-in-law? Where did she go?"

The fat man looked around the car but didn't see it. Then his gaze suddenly focused on the passenger seat, and he realized something.

"Oh, this must be your sister-in-law's special ability, right? Invisibility?"

No wonder she could appear and disappear so suddenly. Xian Wenrui was filled with respect and greeted the passenger in the passenger seat with a fawning tone, "Hello, sister-in-law, I wish you and Brother Lu a long and happy marriage and many children."

Lu Yize glanced at the rare idiot with disgust.

However, he didn't expose him. He waited until they reached the outside of the safe house. Lu Yize casually tossed the supplies from the car to the fat man and pointed to a dilapidated old house outside the safe house.

"You can tidy it up yourself, as long as you don't go near the inside of the house, you can do whatever you want."

"Just a heads-up, if you get too close, these mutated plants nearby will kill you instantly, so you'd better stay put."

Xian Wenrui nodded gratefully, "Okay, okay, as long as there's a place to sleep, I can fix it myself."

Although he didn't know what method Lu Yize used, Xian Wenrui noticed that the place was extremely well hidden and there were no zombies attacking it.

Oh no, I think there were some, but they all became nutrients for those mutated plants.

What shocked Xian Wenrui even more was that, in the next moment, someone appeared out of nowhere.

Lu Yize took off the helmet that had been holding her captive all day, the one that had driven the zombies to their madness, revealing her pale face and dark eyes.

"Holy crap!!" Xian Wenrui suddenly took a step back.

He smelled food again, and the zombie opened its mouth wide and roared. If he didn't dodge carefully, he might have a piece of flesh bitten off.

Fortunately, Lu Yize, who was standing next to her, reached out and restricted her attack range, and handed her a cleaned zombie crystal core to comfort her, "Be good, don't make trouble."

Xian Wenrui's face turned pale. He recognized the zombie in front of him as the girl he had mistakenly thought had risked her life to save him. She was even wearing matching outfits with his brother Lu!

So it turns out they weren't in a rush to save him, but rather just wanted a piece of his flesh.

This realization was truly heartbreaking, and Xian Wenrui silently hugged his chubby self.

When he looked at Lu Yize again, his eyes were complicated, and it was impossible to know what strange plot was being imagined in his muddled mind.

Before they entered the house, Xian Wenrui, with tears in his eyes, shouted with deep emotion, "Brother Lu! You're a real man!"

Lu Yize: ...problem.

However, Lu Yize quickly forgot about the fat man because he noticed that Jiang Yue was excessively excited for a period of time, which seemed like both joy and pain.

She kept scratching her head with her claws; if Lu Yize hadn't intervened in time, she probably would have poked her entire face through.

After being subdued, Lu Yize discovered that she had a high fever that continued unabated. Then, the zombie seemed to have been drained of all its energy and had no ability to resist.

If it were outside right now, it would probably be easily killed by humans.

Lu Yize didn't understand zombies or the reason for her current state, but he guessed it might be related to the zombie's advancement, just like how a superhuman's ability would upgrade and their body would also experience a persistent high fever.

The reason he didn't understand people with superpowers was because during the ten years they were together in his previous life, Jiang Yue showed no signs of advancement.

The difficulty of advancing to higher levels is one thing, but the most fundamental reason is that she gave most of the crystal cores to Lu Yize.

Lu Yize carried Jiang Yue into the bathtub and hugged her from behind. The cold water in the bathtub gradually became scalding hot in a short time. Lu Yize released all the crystal cores he had obtained today into the bathtub.

After the crystal core appeared, Jiang Yue's pain lessened slightly, but she soon became extremely irritable again, reaching out to scratch her skin.

But Lu Yize held her hands down, and her inner desires were not satisfied, causing her to let out a series of shrill screams.

After a period of excitement, she fell into weakness again. This repeated itself throughout the night. All the dozens of crystal cores in the bathtub turned into powder before Jiang Yue's condition gradually stabilized.

She lay in Lu Yize's arms with her eyes closed, as if she were asleep.

The biggest difference between her and a human is probably that she has no heartbeat and no breathing.

After a whole night of fussing, Lu Yize's eyes were bloodshot and he looked rather dejected. He got up and carried Jiang Yue out of the bathtub.

By this time, the two of them had long been dried by the high temperature. He lay on the bed with Jiang Yue with his eyes closed, wrapped their bodies tightly in the quilt, put his arm around her waist, and fell into a deep sleep with the zombie that had tormented him all night.

Lu Yize slept especially soundly that night, and didn't wake up until noon the next day.

The day before, Lu Yize helped Jiang Yue advance her cultivation level. He needed to control a rampaging zombie without harming Jiang Yue, which required extremely precise use of his supernatural abilities.

This is why he was so exhausted that he slept until now.

When he woke up, his first thought was that Jiang Yue would run away, but fortunately, he was embraced by a familiar body from behind, and his startled heart finally settled down.
