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

After regaining consciousness, he looked at Jiang Yue and noticed that her body had changed after advancing to the next level.

The original bluish-black skin has faded somewhat, and the bluish skin is no longer noticeable; instead, it is a bluish-gray like beautiful jade.

Her previously exposed fangs have returned to the size of normal human teeth, and you wouldn't notice her sharp canines unless you look closely.

Before advancing, the black nail, which was half the length of a finger, has now returned to the shape of a normal human nail, only now it looks like it has been coated with a layer of black nail polish.

She was gradually becoming more like the little zombie he remembered.

In his past life, the little zombies always appeared harmless to him, but after getting to know them better, he discovered that high-level zombies could hide their zombified side and become infinitely close to humans.

Just like Jiang Yue at this moment, who usually hides the fangs and sharp teeth of zombies, only exposing them during battle.

Perhaps it was Lu Yize's gaze that was too intense, but Jiang Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly as she gradually woke up. After silently opening her eyes, there was still a trace of confusion in them.

She smelled a very fragrant aroma, which compelled her to move closer to the scent.

"what happened?"

Lu Yize had no idea what Jiang Yuewei was planning to do when he saw her raise her head and reach out to him.

Until her slightly cold lips touched the corner of his mouth, tentatively seizing his breath, her lips were lightly bitten and she tasted a trace of blood.

Lu Yize stood there stunned. The moment their lips touched, a dazzling display of fireworks exploded in his cerebral cortex.

The blood in his body surged wildly, his limbs felt like they were being injected with molten iron, and in an instant, his reason burned and broke.

This was their first kiss in ten years of knowing each other. All the memories of the past and the present surged into an indescribable emotion.

He reached out and pressed down on the back of Jiang Yue's neck, holding her body captive, prying open her teeth, and greedily seizing her, deepening the kiss once again.

Jiang Yue's zombie instincts warned her that she was in danger, but the taste of blood in her mouth made her tremble instinctively. She stuck out her tongue and swallowed the blood.

Lu Yize's eyes darkened, and he lost control for once. He wrapped his arms around her waist, leaned down and deepened the kiss, wishing that they could both drown in this tender embrace.

Jiang Yue's cool body did not extinguish Lu Yize's heat; instead, it pushed the heat to its peak.

The blood of the superhuman excited the zombies. Because her lips were blocked, Jiang Yue was forced to make small, muffled sounds, like the weak groans of a small animal, which were pitiful.

But at this moment, it only intensified Lu Yize's desire to bully her. He stood up and looked at the zombie beneath him, which, apart from its pale skin, was no different from a human.

Her eyes were still misty with tears, her lips were stained red with blood, and her hair was spread out on the white bed.

Because of the recent rampage, which left her slightly disheveled, Lu Yize caressed her slender yet full body with his eyes again and again.

Lu Yize lowered his head again, hooked his right arm around the back of Jiang Yue's neck, stroked her stray hairs, and kissed her repeatedly to confirm her presence.

"Jiang Yue..."

Every time Lu Yize called her name, images of their ten years together flashed through his mind, from his initial hostility towards her to his later deep affection without realizing it.

However, Lu Yize only regained consciousness when a numb pain shot through his back. The zombie in his arms scratched the "food" in front of her with its claws.

In her eyes, Lu Yize was nothing more than a top-quality food that was slightly more delicious than ordinary food; nothing more.

In that instant, Lu Yize felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. Even though she had evolved into a level 1 zombie and her appearance had changed, she still lacked human emotions.

Lu Yize gripped her shoulders, blocking her retreat. His eyes were deep and cold, revealing a sharp edge.

The zombies couldn't decipher his expression at all, but they could vaguely sense that he was out of control, as if he was afraid of something.

Jiang Yue bared her teeth, curled up defensively, and Lu Yize was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, showing fear and wariness. This was good.

These are emotions that zombies don't have.

Previously, he needed to use his powers to control the zombies' movements before she would stop attacking, but now, she understands fear and can recognize danger.

Lu Yize pulled the zombie into his arms and sighed softly, "It's okay, take it slow."

"Let's take our time."

Jiang Yue looked up, her eyes completely black, unlike a human's, but as her eyeballs moved, she lost some of the stiffness and deathly aura of a zombie.

If she hadn't realized that Lu Yize posed a danger to her, she would most likely have chosen to swallow the fragrant food in front of her immediately, just as she did after waking up.

Lu Yize was unaware that the most obvious change after a zombie advances is that it regains its five senses.

Jiang Yue still felt a slight pain on the tip of her tongue. With her brain now the size of a soybean, she couldn't understand why food would bite a zombie.

However, what she couldn't understand was why she couldn't bring herself to bite into a piece of food, even though she had the opportunity to do so at the beginning. It was as if something deep in her soul was binding her actions.

The zombie opened its eyes wide, puzzled, confused.

Lu Yize looked down and saw the zombie in his arms staring blankly into the meaning of life. He smiled slightly and reached out to put a crystal core into her mouth.

The deliciousness of the crystal core was second only to Lu Yize for Jiang Yue, but one piece was not enough. She looked at Lu Yize greedily, but did not make a move rashly.

"Gone."

Lu Yize shrugged and pointed to the bathtub, where only a pile of powder remained after the crystal cores had been absorbed.

Jiang Yue tilted her head, puzzled by his behavior.

"Tsk."

Lu Yize suddenly realized that it was a bit much to ask a zombie with a brain the size of a bean to understand the fact that the crystal core had been digested. No, it was a bit much to ask a zombie.

After a zombie advances to a higher level, in addition to increased abilities, its need for food also surges, as this is one way for the zombie to provide energy for its body.

Hunger drove them to search for food, and Jiang Yue was no exception. Lu Yize had used up all his crystal cores and could only take out the meat he had previously stored in his space.

The meat remained fresh within the space. Although it couldn't compare to the taste of a living person or the energy of a crystal core, it was still enough to fill one's stomach.

Even though she was starving, Jiang Yue didn't show any resistance.

She grabbed any piece of meat and started biting, while Lu Yize just watched from the side. However, after she had eaten a piece of meat that weighed as much as herself, his gaze silently fell on Jiang Yue's slightly protruding belly.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he had... cough, it's nothing, just a slight regret, but he doesn't plan to do anything until Jiang Yue regains consciousness.

At most... I'll receive some perks.

Lu Yize withdrew his gaze and began to ponder a new question.

He wasn't too worried because he thought there was plenty of food, but the upgraded zombies had a huge increase in food supply.

It seems that simply feeding them meat won't work; we still need to go out and hunt zombies to extract their crystal cores.
