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

Lu Yize, Chen Mingzhang, and the others silently began to absorb the energy, while Xian Wenrui also frantically tried to level up, hoping to at least survive a little longer!

The floor they were on was the one where various experimental subjects were immersed.

Although they were hiding inside the space, they could still see the outside scene clearly: the creatures trapped in the unknown liquid were arranged in neat rows.

People in white protective suits and black masks were patrolling and chasing. Everyone held their breath, and the throbbing of their necks released their tense nerves.

Only when the searchers gradually moved away did some of them breathe a sigh of relief. Chen Mingzhang, Morse, and others moved to Lu Yize's side to discuss the matter.

"Just as you predicted, all the people from Xiyue were controlled by the people in this lab. They even attacked us just now. Are they still alive?"

Morse and Lu Yize just took the most attacks. Morse didn't have any spatial abilities to block them, so he had to rely on his strong physique to withstand them. Fortunately, fifth-level ability users have strong healing abilities, and his minor wounds have basically healed.

Morse's clothes looked like they were soaked in blood, his own blood and that of his enemies.

"Those people from Xiyue are probably all dead."

Chen Mingzhang calmly explained, as if he had once thought that Mu Fei might still be alive, but unfortunately, he only saw Mu Fei and others who had been manipulated and lost their humanity, and even that he had killed them with his own hands.

They can die on the battlefield, but they must never become undignified, mindless zombies manipulated by others.

In other words, apart from Morse successfully turning the tables and Xian Wenrui who survived due to special circumstances, everyone else died.

Lu Yize had already absorbed 50% of the sixth-order space-type ability crystal core. He put away the remaining crystal core and asked, "What do you think now?"

They had just faced off against those monsters head-on. Although they killed quite a few, they also paid a heavy price, with the number of injured and dead rising rapidly.

Even if it weren't for Fan Jian's problem just now, they wouldn't have been able to escape.

"It was easy to get into the lab this time, but there might not be another chance like this next time."

Chen Mingzhang was right. The reason they were able to get in was not only because the other side underestimated them, but also because the other side wanted to take this opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

They turned the tables on the other side, deliberately jumping in to try and find out more about the other party's situation.

They are now like naked children, completely exposed, yet utterly unaware of each other's background.

"We've already come this far, retreating now would just mean so many people have died for nothing." Morse also harbored hatred for these monsters.

These guys who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, building laboratories on our territory at will, capturing our people, and extracting human superpower cores—how could we possibly let them go so easily!

"What's the plan next? We can't send out the information from inside the lab, the signal is cut off, we need to let others know that there is a super-sixth order being there."

Chen Mingzhang fiddled with the broken ability rings, wondering what methods they had used to completely destroy their ability rings after entering the laboratory.

Lu Yize and Morse were in similar situations; they had just exhausted their superpowers to the limit before they could unleash that near-seventh-tier attack together.

With just this one blow, the weapon that Xian Wenrui had been researching for so long was completely destroyed, and it would probably take a lot of effort to make another one.

Xian Wenrui, fearing for his own life, had already taught Zhang Wenjing the manufacturing principles.

Chen Ping asked Lu Yize, "How is your ability recovery going? Can you send people out? Make sure to send out the psychic ability users."

For example, Zhang Wenjing can intuitively present the scene in front of her to other people's minds.

Previously, Lu Yize was able to secretly send Jiang Yue to the central base. So, if they could just send her out and reveal some of the situation inside the base, it would be better than being completely clueless.

Lu Yize had been releasing his mental energy at its maximum range, and he sensed something was wrong the moment Fan Jian appeared.

"No, the entire underwater base is sealed off now, and we can't cross that space."

Chen Ping looked slightly disappointed upon hearing this. If they all died here, then the information they had gathered would be meaningless.

Chen Mingzhang and the others also realized this problem, and they began to discuss countermeasures. No matter what, they had to break this cage. They could die, but someone had to bring the message back!

As they discussed the matter, they discovered that even within this space, people, zombies, and strange beasts were clearly separated and gathered in distinct groups. The originally unified group was divided into several factions, each wary of the other.

Zhang Wenjing witnessed all of this, recorded it in her mind, and quickly analyzed the current situation.

Lu Yize took a moment to turn his head and look at Jiang Yue, thinking of her tearful and barely noticeable mother.

Su Xuan said at the time that Jiang Yue was abducted because he discovered an anomaly in human genes, and it was because of this that he knew in advance that humans would differentiate into two categories: zombies and superhumans.

Assuming what she said is true, is it possible that this exacerbation of division was man-made, and that the falling star was just one of the contributing factors?

The people behind this underwater laboratory had anticipated this, so they stored up crystal cores in advance to advance their own capabilities.

Lu Yize vaguely felt that something was still wrong, but there was too little information available at the moment.

He combined his memories from his previous life with everything that had happened from the months before the apocalypse until now.

The supernatural weapons that stagnated for fifteen years during the apocalypse in the previous life, the more than ten elite researchers from the Donggu Base who were killed in this life, and Xian Wenrui who was wanted with a high bounty.

In the fifteen years since the apocalypse, only a handful of people have reached the sixth rank. Now, two years before the apocalypse, there are ancient trees that were imprisoned and raised in captivity until they reach the sixth rank. Rather than being for viewing, it's more like waiting until they reach the peak of the sixth rank before extracting their crystal cores.

It's similar to humans raising animals to adulthood before slaughtering, selling, or cooking them.

In the previous life, during the fifteen years of the apocalypse, whether it was humans, zombies, or alien beasts and sea monsters, all the highest levels were limited to the sixth level, unable to break through further.

Sea beasts and other creatures require special substances to break through to the fourth rank, while superhumans and zombies may only need a certain special substance at the sixth rank.

Lu Yize didn't believe that humans were so stupid as to not find a way to break through in fifteen years. So it was very likely that the special substance needed to break through to the sixth rank was being controlled, preventing even Zheng Lin and others who would eventually reach the sixth rank from obtaining it.

All of the above points to one thing: the other party is preventing them from having the ability to retaliate.

"Chen Mingzhang, where is Su Xuan?"
