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

After hearing Sheng Xue's words, Lu Yize was not completely relieved. He always felt that Jiang Yue's headaches before her advancement were a potential problem.

Lu Yize inexplicably recalled that before Zhang Wenjing died at the bottom of the sea, she pulled Jiang Yue's head and pressed it against hers. At the time, he didn't think much of it.

But now, considering Jiang Yue's headache and the fact that Zhang Wenjing never does anything meaningless, it's possible that she's hiding something in Jiang Yue's memory.

Lu Yize's face was so gloomy that it was almost unbearable. He stepped forward, restrained Jiang Yue, picked her up, and carried her into the house.

Before leaving, he threw the mechanical arm from the space to Xian Wenrui. Xian Wenrui didn't react for a moment and was stunned while holding the mechanical arm, thinking that it was something that Lu Yize had accidentally dropped.

But upon closer inspection and seeing what was in his arms, Xian Wenrui, a grown man, suddenly choked up.

Sheng Xue also noticed the mechanical arm in Xian Wenrui's arms, and then turned her head to look at Lu Yize's disappearing figure.

Lu Yize is quite cold-blooded about the death of his companions, acting as if nothing had happened. However, looking back at his attitude towards the living, he doesn't seem as cold-blooded as she imagined.

She withdrew her gaze, looked at Xian Wenrui who was holding the mechanical arm with one hand, sighed softly, and turned her wheelchair, "Let me help you install it."

"Thank you."

Xian Wenrui only has one hand, and it would probably take him a while to figure it out on his own. It would be great if Sheng Xue was willing to help.

Sheng Xue is more aloof and distant than before, but she will help those whom Fan Jian cares about within her ability.

When Sheng Xue was installing the robotic arm on Xian Wenrui, she noticed that it must have been specially made for Xian Wenrui by Lu Yize, as all the dimensions were perfect.

Xian Wenrui put on the robotic arm and controlled his hand, except for the exposed mechanical shell and the robotic arm's overly sensitive operation due to temporary unfamiliarity.

Xian Wenrui turned around a few times and tried to pick up some things. Although his movements were a bit comical, Xian Wenrui was still inexplicably excited.

"This is a good thing."

He turned around, wanting to share his feelings with Sheng Xue, but found that there was no one behind him.

Sheng Xue had already pushed the wheelchair into the house at some point, leaving Xian Wenrui awkwardly scratching at the air with his mechanical hand.

Lu Yize carried Jiang Yue back into the house. Jiang Yue's temperature had not dropped, but her face was pale and she had the irritability typical of low-level zombies.

Dark bluish-black veins crawled across his pale face, and his previously atrophied and retracted fangs reappeared.

The black fingernails continued to extend, tearing several bloody holes in Lu Yize's shoulder.

The supernatural power contained in her blood stimulated her instinct to eat, and her pure black eyes were fixed on the direction from which the blood was flowing.

Lu Yize noticed her condition and, without saying a word, opened the drawer, took out the shackles he always kept in the drawer, and used the cold, silvery-white metal to restrain Jiang Yue's wrist bones, locking her to the headboard.

It wasn't the first time he'd done this, and Lu Yize skillfully controlled Jiang Yue, noticing that she had bitten several bloody holes in her lips.

It's rare to see someone so stupid.

Lu Yize then took out a gag and put it on Jiang Yue, pinning her hands above her head. Her black hair spread across the white bed, and her legs were also restrained by Lu Yize. Jiang Yue was like a fish on a chopping board, completely at Lu Yize's mercy.

Having just been intimate last night, Lu Yize noticed the marks left on Jiang Yue's body from her struggles, her collar still loose, and his eyes darkened.

That moment of stunned silence gave Jiang Yue a chance. She tried to break free of her restraints, but Lu Yize saw through her intentions on the spot, grabbed her left leg, and pressed down on her with his body to relieve her tension.

His mental energy covered her entire body, and Lu Yize's voice could freely enter and exit Jiang Yue's crystal core, which was always shrouded in a layer of gray mist.

However, the fog has diminished considerably since then. Lu Yize asked Xie Hongyang and learned from him that the fog could affect their mental state.

Initially, the mist inside the crystal core was so thick that it impaired their judgment, causing them to do things that went against reason. However, as their level increased, the mist inside the crystal core was gradually expelled.

However, the fog becomes most restless and uncontrollable during each advancement, so the zombies' instincts far outweigh their rationality during each advancement. Lu Yize was actually mentally prepared for Jiang Yue's current situation.

However, he did not expect the unexpected turn of events with Zhang Wenjing, who did something to Jiang Yue's already limited intelligence, making her already barren mind even worse.

Lu Yize used his mental power to clear the mist from Jiang Yue's crystal core. Since absorbing that sixth-order crystal core, his mental power had been greatly enhanced.

However, most of the energy from that sixth-order crystal core was used to send people, zombies, and sea beasts away from the teleportation base. The number of these creatures was enormous, and the teleportation distances were spread out, so the required amount of alien energy was extremely large.

However, probably because his body had undergone a lot of tempering with supernatural abilities, although Lu Yize's supernatural ability level did not improve, he could clearly sense the change in his mental power.

It's not exactly an improvement, but one can clearly sense a more refined control over mental energy, and the ability to use mental energy to process the layer of mist inside Jiang Yue's crystal core, as is the case now.

"Bear with it." Lu Yize's mental energy pierced through the crystal core between Jiang Yue's eyebrows. It seemed reckless, but in fact, he was precisely controlling his mental energy.

Even so, Lu Yize's forehead was still covered in sweat. He used twice the mental energy to assist Jiang Yue's special ability in the crystal core and help deal with the fog inside the crystal core.

The ability is most active during its advancement, which also intensifies the activity of the mist. The competition between the two is what caused Jiang Yue to lose her senses.

What Lu Yize was doing at this time was to assist the special ability within Jiang Yue's crystal core in clearing away the mist, so that Jiang Yue's crystal core would be cleared out and the next advancement would not be so painful.

Jiang Yue's mind flashed through a series of memories in the form of images, but the loading of these memories also caused her unbearable headaches.

At this moment, Jiang Yue could not tell who the person in front of her was. Her desire to devour and gnaw at the person had reached its peak. Not to mention that she was restrained and suppressed, even if she were released now, she would feel a strange resistance.

It was as if her struggling reason was begging and pleading with her out-of-control body.

The suppressed pain within her body brought her to the brink of collapse. She felt she was going to die, but even knowing she was going to die, she couldn't help but eat the food in front of her that smelled of supernatural power.

Jiang Yue's vision was blurry, and she couldn't see the person in front of her clearly, but the familiar feeling emanating from him made her feel at ease.

Lu Yize suddenly felt all of Jiang Yue's resistance dissipate, and even the frantically struggling crystal core opened up to his mental power.

While Lu Yize was surprised, he felt Jiang Yue's small movements close to his neck, showing intimacy, trust, and undisguised complete surrender.
