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

Lu Yize left Chen Mingzhang's place and returned to their residence. Zhang Wenjing and the others turned around at the sound of the noise.

"Brother Lu, what did Chen Mingzhang say?" Fan Jian asked, voicing the question everyone present wanted to know.

Lu Yize didn't hide anything, "The original infiltration plan has been modified, but it will still be carried out. I will also participate. However, before the plan is carried out, the remaining personnel in the base will be transferred, which should be in the next few days."

"Where to move to?" Fan Jian asked.

Lu Yize shook his head, "He didn't go into details, but it should be split into several routes, with the central bases in other cities taking over. After all, if we really become adversaries of that laboratory, it's uncertain whether this city can remain safe."

That sea area is too close to the city, and the creatures in that laboratory are all of high level. Their abilities above level three are extremely powerful, and it's inevitable that they will be caught in the crossfire.

"You may decide for yourselves whether to stay or leave in this matter of life and death."

After Lu Yize finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Yue away, not interfering with their choices.

Upon hearing his words, everyone present had their own thoughts.

Zhang Wenjing's face clearly showed suppressed, trembling hatred. Of course she had to get involved. She hated that laboratory to the core. She could never forget the pain she had endured or the death of her sister.

Sheng Xue glanced at Fan Jian, wanting to know his choice, after all, Fan Jian was the only person she cared about left in this world.

Fan Jian and Xian Wenrui are different from them. They have families and, if they are lucky, they can reunite. However, they also know that there is definitely a shortage of people right now. Although they can't be of much help, it's better than nothing.

The two looked distressed. Fan Jian squatted down next to Xian Wenrui and said, "Fatty, what do you think? Tell me and see if it can be of any use."

Xian Wenrui looked dejected. "I don't know. I don't know what to choose either. How did the path suddenly diverge like this?"

"I originally thought we would have a chance to go to the Donggu base together, reunite with our families, and even have a chance to eat, drink, and kill zombies together."

"How did it suddenly become a choice between two options?"

Fan Jian was also in a dilemma, "Yeah, how did we suddenly discover that lab? If we hadn't discovered it, it would have been fine to just keep living in a daze."

Xian Wenrui scratched his head in frustration, "Actually, don't be fooled by Brother Lu's arrogant appearance. After he came back, he told me in private that he wanted me to focus on superpower research and suggested that I go to the Donggu Base."

Do you think he had foreseen this would happen?

Xian Wenrui was also troubled by the fact that his superpower level was improving very slowly, and even Fan Jian, who awakened his superpower later than him, was ahead of him.

Not to mention the other few people whose abilities had been upgraded or who seemed to be on drugs, Xian Wenrui felt a sense of frustration.

Fan Jian hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, "To be honest, your ability level is not high, and your talent is not in combat. I've heard about those ability cannons you've made recently. They're incredibly powerful, enough to make a second-tier user act like a third-tier user."

"This is much better than simply upgrading your abilities. You're directly increasing the overall attack power. Why don't you go back to the Eastern Ancient Base, make more of these weapons, and send them here? That would be better than anything else."

Xian Wenrui frowned. "Can't we stay here? They go to the lab, I'll do research and development at the central base, and then supply them as needed..."

Fan Jian waved his hand, "I've heard from other people in the base these past few days that if a fifth-tier battle really breaks out, this base will probably be overturned, and you'll be turned into mincemeat."

"Isn't anyone staying at the central base? How will they resupply?"

"I heard that they don't plan to leave anyone behind, and will choose to station them nearby. They will bring everything they need with them, since there are space-type ability users who are ready to fight at any time."

Upon hearing this, Xian Wenrui sighed deeply, his eyes filled with confusion. "Fan Jian, what about you? Are you planning to go find your parents or stay?"

Fan Jian touched the injured spot on his neck, a rare occurrence for him. "I haven't really thought it through. I've already died once, and I feel like I've come to terms with a lot of things. I really want to see my parents, but I also feel that it's not the right time to leave."

"Sigh, sometimes people are just overthinking and being pretentious," Fan Jian said self-deprecatingly.

After chatting with Fan Jian, Xian Wenrui not only didn't feel refreshed, but he also couldn't sleep in bed, like he was tossed and turned in a pancake. He came out the next day with dark circles under his eyes.

However, after spending the whole night thinking it through, he realized that if he couldn't get over this hurdle, then no matter where he was, the apocalypse would take his life sooner or later.

We only live once. As Fan Jian said, thinking too much is just being pretentious. Since we're all going to die, it doesn't seem to make much difference whether we die early or late.

Damn, it's rare to see someone so heroic in their life. I wonder if anyone will even know his name after he dies.

However, his dream of becoming a hero was soon shattered. After learning that he wanted to stay, Chen Mingzhang and the others chose to refuse to let him participate in the operation.

Xian Wenrui: ? Now even suicide has to meet certain standards?

"Why won't you let me participate? Although I'm not as good as you guys, I'm not bad either. You're not just blocking me, are you? Be careful, or I'll report you later."

Zheng Lin was taken aback, but quickly retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? The reason I don't let you go is because Mu Fei is taking you back to the base!"

"Why would you take me back? I don't want to go back."

"What kind of talk is this?" Zheng Lin slammed his hand on the table and said, "Instead of being a lowly soldier here, you should go back to the Donggu base and do some serious research and invention. Ideally, you should develop a weapon that can kill a fifth-tier monster with a single blow."

"What the base needs most right now is people with these kinds of skills. If you have more to offer, don't go here to die."

How could Xian Wenrui not know these things after agonizing over it all night?!

He also lost his temper and roared, "So you want me to be the only deserter, and just watch you, Lu Yize, Zhang Wenjing, Jiang Yue, and everyone else die?!"

His roar left Zheng Lin speechless, his words of rebuttal stuck in his throat. Ever since they had seen the fourth-order quantity in that laboratory, they had indeed been prepared to perish together.

"Who said I'm going to my death?"

When Lu Yize and Jiang Yue came in, they were speechless. Although he felt that the existence of that laboratory was indeed troublesome, he did not think it was a complete disaster.

Visible enemies are much easier to deal with than invisible ones. Lu Yize felt that things were much better now than in his previous life when he was plunging headfirst into the mud. Even if he could only tear open a corner, it would be enough to glimpse a bit of the truth.

"Brother Lu."

When Xian Wenrui heard Lu Yize's voice, he calmed down a little. This morning, he and Fan Jian both planned to stay, but he was the only one who was rejected, which inevitably made him angry.
