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

Clutching the broken knife in his hand, Xian Wenrui ran towards them with tears in his eyes, calling out incoherently, "Brother Lu, Sister-in-law, I'm so glad you're alright..."

Surviving such a behemoth is certainly a good thing.

However, when Xian Wenrui approached, a hint of resistance and apprehension flashed in Lu Yize's eyes.

He is very weak now and needs some time to recover. If Xian Wenrui, the only one who still has strength left, were to make a move at this time...

Lu Yize's eyes were sinister, so he had no choice but to try to kill him first, even at the cost of his life.

Fortunately, Xian Wenrui didn't have such great ambitions; at this moment, he was crying and shouting with tears streaming down his face.

"Waaaaah, Brother Lu, you're amazing! I'm so glad you made it out alive. Sister-in-law, I misunderstood you. You're so devoted! You jumped into the monster's mouth without hesitation to save Brother Lu!"

Lu Yize glanced at Jiang Yue, who was also seriously injured beside him. Indeed, the moment he saw Jiang Yue in the mutated centipede's mouth, Lu Yize felt his heart stop for a second.

The mutated centipede's teeth almost crushed Jiang Yue's body, but fortunately, she was enveloped by a familiar supernatural power the next moment.

Lu Yize almost thought she had regained her memories of being human, but the next second the zombie rushed at him and bit his wrist.

Lu Yize immediately suppressed her feelings of gratitude. It turned out that he hadn't come to share the hardships, but was angry that his "food" had been swallowed up in front of her, so he was willing to risk his life to get a bite.

Well, she's got a tiny brain, we can't make things too difficult for her.

Before deliberately being swallowed by the mutated centipede, Lu Yize had already planted hundreds of spatial points on its body, waiting to extract the crystal core from its body before taking action against it.

This mutated centipede was stronger than Lu Yize, so before extracting the crystal core, it didn't pose much of a threat to his body.

That's why he deliberately entered the mutated centipede's mouth; the crystal core was located to the side of its compound eyes, making it easier to act from inside.

However, the inside of this mutated centipede's mouth is extremely corrosive. Even though he used his special ability to isolate it, he still couldn't completely stop it. So he had to hurry, or they would really become nourishment for this mutated centipede.

Lu Yize took out a knife from his spatial storage, but the zombie that had been biting her seemed to have sensed the presence of the crystal core and immediately let go of his hand.

Lu Yize didn't even need to lift a finger; the zombie had already torn open the mutated centipede's flesh. Compared to the centipede's hard armor, its flesh posed no obstacle to the zombie and could be easily torn apart.

It was precisely because of their actions that the mutated centipede roared.

After the zombies dug through, they saw an orange crystal core embedded deep inside. Jiang Yue was overjoyed and eager to dig it out.

However, the mutated centipede experienced a churning sensation inside its body, likely a self-protective mechanism.

Green liquid gushed from his stomach and rushed towards the intruders. Lu Yize used his superpower to hug Jiang Yue and immediately enveloped the two of them with his superpower, barely managing to withstand the attack.

Jiang Yue stared resentfully at the green liquid that was blocking her from eating, as if it were an enemy.

So, just before she left, she bit off the whole piece of meat with her mouth.

With the crystal core finally exposed, Lu Yize took the opportunity to chisel out the orange crystal core, which was only the size of a fingernail.

The advanced zombies have a sense of taste. The piece of meat she had just bitten into smelled fishy and disgusting, and Jiang Yue couldn't help but spit it out.

Lu Yize looked at her helplessly, "I told you not to eat just anything."

Now you're eating something rotten, aren't you?

As the crystal core was extracted, Lu Yize manipulated his supernatural abilities and discovered that the spatial points he had set up were gradually connecting with each other.

He also sensed that the mutated centipede was gradually losing its vitality, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yue wanted to eat the orange crystal core in one bite, but Lu Yize had already put it away. It wasn't that he didn't want her to eat it, but that she couldn't absorb it right now.

If she had eaten it, she would most likely have just exploded and died.

In addition, she had eaten something bad and was currently somewhat resistant to the crystal core, so he casually took an ordinary red crystal core from his spatial storage and gave it to her.

The zombies weren't very bright; after getting the red crystal core, they didn't realize it had been switched and were happily eating it.

Perhaps so that she could still have crystal cores to eat in the future, Jiang Yue even obediently walked to Lu Yize's side and resigned herself to being his crutch.

Lu Yize had exhausted all his superpowers, which was extremely dangerous in the apocalypse. After coming out, he took out the off-road vehicle from his spatial storage and rested inside, while absorbing a lot of low-level zombie crystal cores.

Faced with this mutated centipede, both humans and the zombie suffered numerous injuries, especially Lu Yize and Jiang Yue, who were inside the centipede's body.

Jiang Yue is a zombie and cannot feel pain, so her mental state is the best. Lu Yize was the most seriously injured and his superpowers were depleted. At this time, he was worried about leaving Jiang Yue alone outside, so he took her back into his superpower space.

Xian Wenrui was now quite calm about the car suddenly appearing and his sister-in-law suddenly disappearing. His injuries were not too bad, but Lu Yize glanced at him and found that his supernatural abilities were also depleted.

Thinking of his previous performance, Lu Yize closed his eyes and said, "Take out the crystal core from before, feel the supernatural power inside, and then absorb it."

Xian Wenrui felt both admiration and gratitude towards his brother Lu. If it weren't for Lu's presence, he probably would have been dead today.

So without hesitation, he did as instructed. Perhaps the battle just now gave him a new understanding of superpowers, so absorbing them was not difficult at this moment.

Even though it was only one crystal core, Xian Wenrui still absorbed it for a long time, but compared to the seriously injured Lu Yize, it was definitely much faster.

However, the moment he opened his eyes, he felt a sharp gaze sweep over him. Xian Wenrui knew that his brother Lu was wary, so he was sensible as well.

"Brother Lu, I'll go inside the building to see if there are any supplies left. You should get some rest."

"Ah."

Lu Yize didn't care much whether he stayed or left.

Xian Wenrui had no intention of leaving. He crept into the building and found many human and zombie remains lying haphazardly.

In an instant, he was reminded of the basement he had accidentally entered earlier, which was full of human skeletons that had been gnawed clean. A chill ran down his spine.

He hurriedly packed some food that hadn't spoiled yet, grabbed some daily necessities, and before leaving, he passed by a clothing store and went in to rummage through it.

Xian Wenrui carried the loads back and forth, filling the entire SUV to the brim.

However, when he returned for the last time, he suddenly discovered that almost all the mutated centipedes that had fallen to the ground had disappeared, leaving only their broken heads.

Xian Wenrui glanced uncertainly at his brother Lu, but did not ask any questions.
