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

The shattering of the superpower core is something that most people cannot heal, but it is not a life-threatening matter for Lu Yize.

Judging from the memories of Noah shared by Zhang Wenjing, they did know how to improve their superpowers on their own, but their cultivation methods were slightly different from Lu Yize's unorthodox approach.

Lu Yize scoffed. It's no wonder, after all, how many people survive after their superpower cores are cut off?

Their understanding of the superhuman core was merely that of an observer, while he had truly experienced the pain of being dismembered.

Everyone saw that memory, and anyone with a brain would probably study how to generate superpowers on their own and advance to the next level.

Previously, the Zerg allowed humans to grow stronger through mutual slaughter among zombies.

How could they possibly be willing to teach the methods for enhancing their abilities to enemies who might pose a threat to them?

Lu Yize lay down with his eyes closed, repairing his ability core, while pondering what the object mentioned in Noah's memory was that was necessary for breaking through to the sixth rank.

A pure black crystal that can only be successfully upgraded to the seventh rank when used at the sixth rank.

As he pondered these things, he suddenly felt a weight on his body. When he opened his eyes, he found Jiang Yue clinging to him.

Lu Yize subconsciously reached out and wrapped his arms around the zombie, his mind still contemplating the complex situation.

Jiang Yue found a comfortable spot to curl up next to him, remaining motionless with her eyes fixed on Lu Yize.

Combining his memories of the past fifteen years with the information-rich months of this life, Lu Yize was also thinking about how to survive in this apocalypse with Jiang Yue.

Lu Yize didn't know how long he had been thinking. So long that when he looked down again, he found that Jiang Yue had closed her eyes to rest, lying in the crook of his neck, breathing softly.

Lu Yize used his mental power to check Jiang Yue's condition and found that she had also suffered many injuries. Her mental power and supernatural abilities were completely exhausted, which explained why she was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

She didn't utter a sound or cry out in pain. Even after her powers were exhausted, she only became more clingy to Lu Yize. It would be hard to find another zombie easier to care for than her.

Lu Yize, who had been having a headache because of the troubles caused by the Zerg, was now leaning back in his recliner, holding Jiang Yue, and listening to her breathing. His heart gradually settled down.

He released his limited spiritual energy to tidy up Jiang Yue's messy spiritual energy, and also transferred some supernatural power to her. He reached out and tidied her stray hairs back. Looking at her sleeping face, a touch of warmth appeared in Lu Yize's cold gaze.

After many days, Lu Yize finally got a good night's sleep. He woke up because of a tingling sensation in his throat.

Because he was tired, Lu Yize only opened one eye and found that Jiang Yue had woken up at some point and was touching his Adam's apple with her fingertips.

Lu Yize didn't react to this. Jiang Yue, with a certain exploratory desire, traced her fingertips from his Adam's apple to the side of his neck, and then all the way to behind his ear.

The tingling sensation made Lu Yize's Adam's apple bob. He felt a strange, indescribable pleasure as he let Jiang Yue do as she pleased.

Just before Jiang Yue was about to go even further, Lu Yize detected someone pushing him to the brink with his mental power. He reached out and grabbed Jiang Yue's hand, saying, "Someone's coming."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue immediately looked toward the direction of the gate. At first, her eyes were wary, but when she realized who it was, she frowned and tilted her head.

"Lu Yize".

Xie Hongyang appeared before Lu Yize and Jiang Yue, and at this moment he looked no different from a human.

Lu Yize and Jiang Yue had already gotten up. Lu Yize had long expected them to come sooner or later. Not only him, but Chen Mingzhang and Morse also came with them.

"Didn't you go back?" Lu Yize asked with a malicious smile.

"Don't ask questions you already know the answer to." Morse was displeased and sat down on the ground to heal his wounds.

Previously, Lu Yize had moved his group to several smaller bases near the central base.

Firstly, his superpowers were exhausted, making long-distance teleportation impossible. Secondly, not only did Lu Yize distrust the three major bases, but Chen Mingzhang and Morse also harbored suspicions.

The Zerg's positioning and attack on them happened too quickly and coincidentally; the abundance of coincidences points to the problem.

Someone informed the Zerg of their actions, which is why the Zerg rushed to hunt them down.

Chen Mingzhang did not answer Lu Yize's question. The Donggu base was a mixed bag, and he couldn't be sure whether taking the others back would be dangerous.

Just like when Mu Fei led the core technology personnel back and was ambushed, Chen Mingzhang was unsure whether there were still traitors among the Zerg or humans within the Donggu base.

Chen Mingzhang found it laughable that, at a time like this, his own kind was more frightening to him than the Zerg.

The Zerg can tear off their disguise, but humans cannot see into the heart through flesh and blood.

"We plan to stay in our current small base for the time being and conduct research on supernatural abilities based on the Zerg memories provided by Zhang Wenjing."

"Based on those memories, in addition to absorbing crystal cores and ability cores, superpowers should also be able to be cultivated and increased."

"Next, the medium needed to break through the sixth-order bottleneck and the research and development of supernatural weapons need to be put on the agenda."

"Most importantly, we need to study the Zerg language and figure out why they left."

Chen Mingzhang had thought that with the departure of the Zerg, they might still have a glimmer of hope, but after the Zerg left, Chen Mingzhang immediately used his supernatural ability to deduce the situation.

They discovered that the departure of the Zerg had not changed their future at all; it remained a dark place with no hope of survival.

The departure of the Zerg does not signify the end of the crisis for them; it merely indicates that an even more severe situation is about to unfold.

The bird that Noah killed earlier was a creature that Chen Ping conjured using his supernatural abilities to eavesdrop, but they couldn't understand what the insects were saying.

However, they realized from the attitude of these three insects that the insect race also had a strict class system.

"Those insects, they have such a wonderful dream, wanting to kill us all. Dream on."

Morse has a short temper. His injuries haven't even healed yet, and he's still full of anger just thinking about all the frustrating and suffocating things he's been going through lately.

They couldn't defeat them, they couldn't kill them, and they even witnessed the disgusting nature of the Zerg, as well as their experiments that trampled on living beings.

What made Morse feel even more powerless was that there was no rule out the possibility that some people among humanity were colluding with them, or even worse, that this epidemic might not be a natural disaster, but a man-made one.

Seeing Jiang Yue beside Lu Yize, he became even more anxious. "My three wives are not by my side. I don't know how they are doing now."

Morse probably hadn't learned how to speak tactfully. He turned to Xie Hongyang and asked bluntly, seemingly hurtfully, "Where's your wife? I haven't seen her anywhere."
