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

Having lost his parents at a young age and struggled to grow up, Lu Yize later experienced betrayal and no longer believed in love. Jiang Yue warmed Lu Yize's heart with nearly ten years of companionship and even her own life.

It takes root in the deepest part of the heart, sprouts, grows vigorously around the blood vessels, is engraved into the bones and blood, and merges into the bloodline.

Jiang Yue frowned and focused her attention on her mental sea. Her supernatural power and mental strength intertwined as she examined her crystal core, which seemed more like a form of discipline.

On her third attempt, following Lu Yize's mental guidance, Jiang Yue finally grasped a sliver of the key to cultivating her supernatural abilities on her own.

She was so surprised that her mental energy was also filled with joy. Lu Yize smiled, he never doubted Jiang Yue's talent.

"well-done."

Lu Yize was generous with his praise for Jiang Yue and could understand her joy. In comparison, his joy when he succeeded was much more complex.

With so many grudges and resentments, the first thing he thought of after succeeding was how to take revenge. He still remembered how happy Jiang Yue was for him.

Half of her face was destroyed, half hideous and ugly, half beautiful and white. She usually only dared to show her half of her face.

She was the only person who was happy for his success at that time; in a less strict sense, she was a zombie.

Even Lu Yize himself had forgotten the joy, but Jiang Yue remembered it for him. Back then, she was just like Jiang Yue now, having grown half a brain and regained several years of memories of being human.

Unable to even control its instinctive appetite, this zombie, whose soul wasn't even a complete person in the strictest sense, was somehow better at being a human than Lu Yize, who considered himself human.

Lu Yize gradually withdrew his mental energy, allowing Jiang Yue to experience the process of her superpower gradually being generated within the crystal core.

Lu Yize withdrew his mental energy for another reason: his emotional state had been unstable, which was not a good thing, he knew, but he couldn't change it in a short time.

Compared to his previous life, things are much better now. In his previous life, Lu Yize was less of a good-for-nothing and more of a mentally unstable madman.

While he was guiding Jiang Yue's crystal core, his memories were repeatedly pulled back to his past life. The suppressed, suffocating, painful, and regretful emotions were intertwined, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Looking back at his actions towards Jiang Yue from a third-person perspective, Lu Yize sneers and despises his own pathetic and pathetic state.

It can only be said that Jiang Yue only has half a brain. How could she tolerate someone like him? How could Jiang Yue not understand that the person she loves is just a pitiful, struggling, and pretending-to-be-strong cripple?

The painful memories caused Lu Yize to experience phantom limb pain in his legs. He touched his knees, staring blankly in the direction of Jiang Yue.

He knew that Jiang Yue's entire mental energy was currently entangled with the crystal core, and only at this moment would he look at Jiang Yue without any concealment.

Just like in his previous life, he would only push his wheelchair after Jiang Yue fell into a coma, using the excuse of monitoring her, and sit by her bedside night after night, looking at her with a calmness that he himself was unaware of.

Only then could he empty his mind of everything, stop thinking about those complicated hatreds, and just look at the disfigured but not ugly zombie in front of him.

He had thought countless times in his heart that if things hadn't started this way, they might have been doing quite well.

It has almost become a stubborn regret.

Jiang Yue exhausted her mental energy before she could barely cultivate a trace of supernatural power from the crystal core, which was probably less than the supernatural energy from a level 0 zombie crystal core.

Although it's not much, she has at least managed to generate her own superpower. She's just starting out, so the amount of superpower she can generate is not much, but it should increase in the future.

Jiang Yue was in a good mood, because this way she wouldn't have to spend too many power cores to support him, and Lu Yize would have no reason to abandon her.

She looked up and happened to see Lu Yize watching her from behind in the mirror.

Jiang Yue was startled, then turned her head sharply, but when she turned her head, Lu Yize had already lowered his head and was reading a book as usual.

Seeing her turn her head, Lu Yize raised his noble head with a cold gaze, "Eat some food after you've finished cultivating to consolidate your strength."

The physiological basis of zombies dictates that they need to eat flesh and blood to maintain the basic functioning of their bodies. Even at Xie Hongyang's level, they would still have the urge to eat flesh and blood.

Lu Yize closed the book he had barely read, put it into his spatial storage, and took Jiang Yue downstairs to the cold storage to retrieve the previously stored flesh and blood.

Although it's not very fresh, we'll just have to make do with it. We can't really force people to eat with her.

Probably hungry, Xian Wenrui, sporting an afro that looked like it had been blown up during some experiment, entered the cold storage and greeted Jiang Yue and Lu Yize.

"Brother Lu, are you here to find something to eat too?" Xian Wenrui peeked in and saw that Jiang Yue had already started eating, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

"That's great, we can eat it without cooking, so convenient."

Xian Wenrui spoke sincerely; his cooking skills were just so-so, and now that he's missing a hand, many things are even more inconvenient for him. If he could eat directly, it would save him a lot of trouble.

If it weren't for the emergency, he would have liked to install a robotic arm on himself first, which would make it much easier to handle delicate tasks.

Lu Yize noticed Xian Wenrui's hand and remembered that he had mentioned it to Chen Mingzhang. Chen Mingzhang had Xian Wenrui's basic data, and the robotic arm should already be in production.

However, since the product isn't finished yet, there's no need to tell Xian Wenrui, lest any mistakes cause unnecessary anticipation.

"I wonder if Sheng Xue has eaten yet, and I haven't seen her come out. Should we burn some food and put it outside her house?"

"And Little White has been sullen lately, not even eating meat, and looking dejected all day. I feel like it's thinking of sneaking into the cellar at night to steal some wine and try to drown its sorrows."

Xian Wenrui has a lot to worry about. He feels that he was born to be a mother, worrying about this and that.

He also had to worry about his parents, who were far away in the Donggu base, from time to time. He wondered if they had been possessed by the Zerg. Thinking of Fan Jian's experience, Xian Wenrui felt a tightness in his chest again.

In this apocalypse, no one knows when it will end. People are dying one after another, and no one knows how much longer they can live.

"I've cooked some food, please eat it while it's hot."

Sheng Xue's voice rang out from outside the cold storage. After saying this, she didn't linger and pushed her wheelchair away.

She can't stay here any longer, or her legs will hurt. There won't be anyone to massage her legs when they hurt anymore.

Lu Yize wasn't too surprised by Sheng Xue's appearance; his mental energy had already sensed her approach. Xian Wenrui, on the other hand, was startled.

"Okay, coming right away."
