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

The knowledge that Noah and the other insects have about black crystals is most likely only the part that the Insect King is willing to let them know.

Lu Yize thought of the huge black crystal that was still hitting Lincheng, the meteorite that almost destroyed the city, and now it was about to bring them a second disaster.

No wonder Lincheng, which was closest to the meteorite, was the first to suffer a devastating loss. It was probably because the black crystal contained too many impurities that promoted changes in human genes. However, Lincheng also produced more high-level superhumans than other places.

Everything had been foreshadowed. Lu Yize recorded the black crystal refining method that Noah had used in his memory onto paper.

The purification method was initially very crude, but it has now been optimized by Noah himself.

Lu Yize pondered whether to teach this purification method to others, but then he would seem no different from those insects.

As his dwindling conscience and greed clashed, Jiang Yue, who had just planted a few seeds, poked at the soil, head bowed, and asked, "Will you still take me to see the fireflies?"

Lu Yize's thoughts were interrupted, and he couldn't keep up with Jiang Yue's erratic thinking for a moment. He couldn't understand how growing vegetables could evoke a sense of nostalgia and lead her to make such an unreasonable suggestion.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Yue blushed and continued turning the soil, "You promised to take me to see it when we were little."

Lu Yize felt that Jiang Yue's memory was sometimes good and sometimes bad. She remembered all the good things he had done for her, but selectively forgot the things that had bullied her when she was a child. Lu Yize didn't think he had been that good to her.

"The fireflies of today have mutated, growing to around fifty meters long, and they only want to eat you as a snack."

Jiang Yue's desired romance was unrealistic. Lu Yize, an engineering student, calmly shattered her fantasy. Jiang Yue was slightly disappointed, but continued to diligently sow seeds.

Lu Yize didn't like to work. His experiences in his previous life had made him unenthusiastic about everything. He propped himself up on his hands and watched Jiang Yue busy at work. No matter what she had been through, she was always full of energy.

In her past life, she had to clean their tiger den even in a cramped basement. In this life, facing this barren land, she is determined to become a farmer.

Lu Yize let her do whatever she wanted, and occasionally, out of kindness, he would use his supernatural abilities to help Jiang Yue without her noticing. The hardworking zombie had her own plans, and even after a long time, Lu Yize couldn't figure out what she was doing.

When Jiang Yue was so exhausted that she sat down next to him, panting, Lu Yize leaned back in his recliner and reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead with his thumb. "All done?"

Jiang Yue's breathing hadn't calmed down yet, but she nodded. Lu Yize raised an eyebrow, thinking that if she continued to gasp for breath, he might have to take back what he had said earlier. It seemed that he wasn't completely indifferent to anything.

Lu Yize wasn't a real beast. He withdrew his hand, glanced around at Jiang Yue's messy and aesthetically unappealing work, and didn't say much. He simply pulled the person away from the superpower space.

Lu Yize's mental strength and superpowers are currently in an overactive state, as are Jiang Yue's; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to work in the fields today after being so tired last night.

Seeing how energetic she was just now, Lu Yize, who was lying on the recliner, thought to himself, "Sure enough, there are no fields that can't be plowed properly, only oxen that have been worked to death."

Lu Yize and Jiang Yue left the room and went to the lab to find Xian Wenrui. They found that Xian Wenrui's lab was not much better than Jiang Yue's vegetable garden; both were the kind of messy yet orderly.

Xian Wenrui focused his mental energy on the experiment. Lu Yize looked at his left hand and found that he was already quite used to it, probably because he had been getting used to it quite well these past few days.

He didn't notice Lu Yize and Jiang Yue beside him until he finished what he was doing. "Brother Lu? When did you arrive? I didn't even notice. Is there something you need?"

Having spent so much time with Lu Yize, Xian Wenrui knew him relatively well and knew that he wouldn't usually come looking for people unless there was something important.

Lu Yize didn't waste any words and handed the slip of paper with the black crystal extraction instructions to Xian Wenrui, "Let's go to Lincheng together to retrieve some meteorites that fell from the sky for extraction."

Although he saw the basic refining process in Noah's memory, Lu Yize had never seen many of the devices Noah used, so he could only roughly draw them and hand them over to Xian Wenrui for study.

When Xian Wenrui heard this, there was still a hint of confusion in his eyes. Lu Yize noticed his expression and realized that he seemed to have forgotten to tell Xian Wenrui about Noah's complete memories.

Repeating it was tiring. Lu Yize stared at Xian Wenrui for a while, then opened his ability ring. The ability ring had a recording function, which recorded his conversation with Chen Mingzhang and others.

After listening, Xian Wenrui finally understood, his eyes showing obvious realization, and when he looked at the paper Lu Yize had given him again, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable eagerness.

"Brother Lu!"

Xian Wenrui looked at Lu Yize with gratitude. He had entrusted this to Lu Yize, something Chen Mingzhang and the others hadn't done. What else could this be but trust?

Lu Yize was not a sentimental person. He handed it over to Xian Wenrui simply because he was too lazy to do it himself. He didn't give Xian Wenrui any extra time for sentimentality and quickly condensed a spatial vortex.

Not to mention Lu Yize himself, even Xian Wenrui and Jiang Yue noticed that Lu Yize's grasp of spatial abilities had improved after his advancement.

It can condense a spatial vortex in an instant, and the stability of the spatial link is significantly better than before.

Lu Yize was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. "Let's go."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue was about to follow him inside, but Lu Yize stopped her, saying, "Go back to the space ability area and continue growing vegetables."

Jiang Yue doesn't have genes that resist impurities within the black crystal, otherwise she wouldn't have evolved into a zombie. With so many black crystals, if Jiang Yue stayed nearby for a while, the crystal core might have been covered with another layer of mist when she returned.

Not being abandoned, Jiang Yue didn't resist much. Lu Yize glanced at Jiang Yue's condition through his inner vision and found that she continued to work on that area, even planning to use her supernatural abilities to build a house.

After making sure she wouldn't be bored, Lu Yize led Xian Wenrui across the spatial vortex. When they came out, they had already arrived outside the meteorite crater, which was covered by plants.

The area within several kilometers of this meteorite crater was originally barren.

However, perhaps it was the Black Crystal's protection, or perhaps the insectoids wanted to conceal its existence, but at this moment, piles of mutated plants were growing outside the Black Crystal.

The mutated plants that grew around the meteorite stopped swaying and turned their branches to examine the two sudden intruders the moment Lu Yize and Xian Wenrui appeared.

Low-level mutated plants and animals are not much different from low-level zombies; they have weak mental strength, or in simpler terms, they haven't developed intelligence yet.
