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

Lu Yize suddenly asked Su Xuan, and Chen Mingzhang paused for a moment before breaking free from his thoughts.

"Su Xuan?"

"She should have been placed in a secret base by Jiang Yue. She doesn't have much offensive power, so she has been staying in the base because of Jiang Yue."

Su Xuan was a researcher and was originally going to leave with Mu Fei and the others.

But because Jiang Yue was there, she was unwilling to leave and thus escaped a disaster.

After the incident, she was placed in a secret base. She wanted to say a few words to Jiang Yue, but due to the urgency of the situation, Jiang Yue didn't have time to listen to what she had to say.

To be honest, Jiang Yue and Su Xuan didn't have much of a relationship.

Lu Yize had read most of Jiang Yue's memories and knew that she had been raised in a free-range manner.

To her, her parents were probably strangers with whom she shared blood ties. In the six years since she regained her memories, she had probably seen Su Xuan no more than ten times.

"Why are you suddenly asking her?" Chen Mingzhang asked.

"No, it's just that I find it strange. I heard that Su Xuan and her husband are both researchers?"

"Yes, Su Xuan's husband, who is also Jiang Yue's father, was one of the first people to discover human genetic changes. He even experimented and created the earliest zombies and superhumans. I don't know the specifics, but Mu Fei would probably know more if he were here."

Chen Mingzhang was not in a good mood when Mu Fei was mentioned.

They entered the base in the same batch and had a good relationship. Just minutes before, he had personally killed Mu Fei, who had become an experimental subject and was like a walking corpse.

"He can detect whether a person will turn into a zombie or a superhuman? And then he sent Su Xuan to the central base under the pretext of seeing Jiang Yue?"

Lu Yize found it hard not to attribute these successive events to Su Xuan, and Chen Mingzhang understood the meaning behind his words.

"Although he also conducts experiments, he shouldn't be involved in these things. I heard from the squad leader that Jiang Qinghai hates monsters in protective suits and masks even more than zombies and alien beasts. You could say he despises them."

"Does he know something?"

"I do not know either."

Chen Mingzhang didn't hide anything from Lu Yize, and Lu Yize, seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, simply gave up.

Seeing that he had finished talking, Jiang Yue endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back and went up to him and clung to his side. She didn't care where she was now or whether she would die in the next moment.

Jiang Yue, who has only half a brain and the other half is filled with love, has a kind of reckless courage like a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.

Lu Yize used his mental power to check Jiang Yue's condition and found that apart from the excessive consumption of her supernatural power, she had no injuries and was even recovering better than the others present.

On the contrary, Sheng Xue, who had been protected all along, was now extremely busy. Her special ability was almost depleted, but fortunately she healed the injuries of many people.

As for those alien beasts and zombies, although they weren't very bright, they weren't too bad either. After all, they had all reached the third or fourth tier and knew what the situation was, so they obediently didn't attack people.

But inevitably, there will be one idiot out of a hundred.

A third-tier zombie, who had been imprisoned for a long time, couldn't control its appetite and tried to eat a low-tier human while the others weren't paying attention. On the spot, a plant pierced its brain.

Chen Mingzhang was an exceptionally cautious person. From the very beginning, he had Zheng Lin keep an eye on these restless zombies and strange beasts, especially the zombies that fed on human blood!

He assumed Zheng Lin was behind it, but the next moment he heard Zheng Lin warily say, "I didn't do it!"

Although there were plant-type ability users and plants present, the attack method just now was clearly the same as Zheng Lin's. Instantly, everyone's nerves tightened, and the face of "Fan Jian" appeared in their minds at the same time.

But the other zombies present suddenly shuddered, their knees buckled, and they lowered their heads. A path suddenly opened up in the zombie horde, and a familiar face appeared before them.

The skull at the waist hadn't changed much. The zombie in front of him, besides looking more human, had also gradually calmed down, shedding its previous restlessness and bloodlust, revealing a more human-like side.

"Xie Hongyang?!"

Morse stared in shock at the person before him—no, the Zombie King.

Back in Beisha, he had fought Xie Hongyang. At that time, they were both at the peak of the fourth rank, and Xie Hongyang's ability was extremely troublesome. Morse suffered a lot at his hands.

"Did you do it just now?"

Chen Mingzhang didn't completely trust Xie Hongyang, but it was still better than seeing the creepy "Fan Jian".

"it's me."

Xie Hongyang's voice should have basically recovered to its human tone, sounding calm and reliable.

"How did you get here? I didn't notice you when I was fighting Fan Jian. Where did you suddenly appear from?"

Compared to Chen Mingzhang, Zheng Lin clearly didn't know how to hide his emotions. He was very wary of Xie Hongyang, who had suddenly appeared, and his words were not polite at all.

Xie Hongyang ignored Zheng Lin's hostility. He understood why Zheng Lin was acting this way. He had killed many people in the central base, many of whom were Zheng Lin's comrades. It would be strange if Zheng Lin spoke to him warmly now.

Xie Hongyang looked at Lu Yize not far away. He was able to enter this space created by Lu Yize because he had Lu Yize's permission; otherwise, he would not have been able to enter.

Although he copied Lu Yize's spatial ability, he couldn't possess a spatial domain like Lu Yize, so he couldn't create a space where he could conceal his presence.

"I was arrested before, but I escaped because of the riots you caused."

Xie Hongyang gave a simple explanation, omitting many details in just a few words. There were some things he didn't want to say, but that didn't mean others wouldn't ask.

Morse was straightforward and was surprised to see Xie Hongyang acting like a normal person; this was the first time he had ever seen a level 5 zombie.

"I originally thought that having half a brain like a fourth-tier zombie was already pretty impressive, but I didn't expect that a fifth-tier zombie is almost indistinguishable from a human. If I couldn't sense the crystal core inside your body, I would have thought you were really human."

“Zombies are originally human, or rather, neither zombies nor superhumans are human,” Zhang Wenjing said, pushing up her glasses.

Morse thought there was some truth to that, but his attention was quickly drawn back to Xie Hongyang, and he asked curiously, "But what are you doing here? Is this some kind of popular tourist spot? You couldn't have just wandered over, could you?"

"And how did you get arrested out of nowhere? Weren't you supposed to be pretty strong?"

Xie Hongyang only answered Morse's last question, "They have no fewer than ten sixth-level ability users, and at least three seventh-level ones."

This is the information he has collected in the laboratory during this period. As for why he came to this laboratory...

He stroked the stark white skull at his waist.

Because... he never gave up on resurrecting his lover.
