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

Lu Yize looked at the bamboo that had grown to several meters tall, forming a lush green bamboo forest. The bamboo was growing so fast that it had become lush and verdant in a short time.

He even found several bamboo shoots that had already sprouted when he entered the bamboo forest.

Even the bamboo shoots, like the people who planted them, are incredibly carefree and unpretentious, growing straight and unassuming as if afraid that others might miss out on them.

Seeing Lu Yize's gaze fall on the bamboo shoots, Jiang Yue remembered that she seemed to have eaten them at his house when she was a child. So, understandingly, she went forward to dig up some bamboo shoots and took them outside to eat.

Lu Yize didn't stop him, and even considered whether he could use his own body to enter the supernatural space. If he could get in... it seemed like it wouldn't be so bad for him and Jiang Yue to live there forever.

After Jiang Yue finished digging bamboo shoots, Lu Yize took her out. After coming out of the superpower space, Lu Yize opened his eyes, ignoring Jiang Yue's struggle with the bamboo shoot shells. He tried to see if he could get his body into the superpower space.

Lu Yize tried to open the supernatural space, but found that his body could not enter. He could only enter in the form of a spiritual body. He could control everything in the space, but he could not enter directly.

Lu Yize, who was almost about to go on strike against the world, sighed. Fine, he would take revenge and kill the invading Zerg. He was not a hermit who wanted to live in seclusion.

"Where did these bamboo shoots come from? They're so fresh." Xian Wenrui happened to be passing by and saw Jiang Yue peeling bamboo shoots, so he squatted down to help her.

Before the apocalypse, Xian Wenrui didn't particularly like bamboo shoots, always finding them astringent. But now, several months into the apocalypse, he hadn't seen these fresh vegetables in ages, and his mouth was involuntarily watering.

Jiang Yue glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then remained silent, unsure whether Lu Yize intended to tell others about what happened inside the space.

Jiang Yue remained silent, which didn't surprise Xian Wenrui at all. They were used to her mentally unstable state; it was normal for zombies not to like talking to people.

Lu Yize didn't hide it, but he didn't say much either, "I took it from my spatial storage."

Xian Wenrui knew that Lu Yize had a special ability space where he stored a lot of things. He would occasionally store Jiang Yue in it as well. Oh, and those corpses that died at the bottom of the sea were also brought back using this special ability space.

Initially, the supplies they had hidden were also stored in Brother Lu's space. Now, when he took out a few bamboo shoots, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It's just that the bamboo shoots were exceptionally fresh today, and they were even still covered in mud.

With so many bamboo shoots, Lu Yize wasn't a stingy person and asked Xian Wenrui to take half of them. Xian Wenrui was delighted when he heard that.

"There just happened to be an old duck in the freezer. I dried the bamboo shoots that I couldn't finish eating and then stewed them with the old duck to make it more nutritious."

He glanced at the indoor thermometer again as he spoke, “This weather changes like four seasons in a single day, it’s like a furnace, I reckon it’ll dry in just a few minutes.”

They used to complain all the time that the weather changed by 10 or 20 degrees a day and they didn't know what to wear. Now they can't even empathize with their past selves and just think they're being pretentious.

The temperature difference in a single day can be as extreme as 100 or 200 degrees Celsius, and the temperature changes are becoming increasingly rapid and unstable.

"Hey, I thought the apocalypse would be over once the disease was under control, but now it seems... who knows what will happen in the future." Xian Wenrui continued working, his tone tinged with worry.

As the weather changes over time, the number of normal organisms outside gradually decreases. This could be due to the meteorite, or it could be an inevitable result of natural selection.

Currently, just as the number of ordinary, real humans is decreasing rapidly, there are also very few organisms that have not differentiated into ability cores or crystal cores.

They are either devoured by their own kind or die under these extreme conditions, becoming nourishment for the land.

"It'll probably be hard to find these fresh vegetables again in the future." Xian Wenrui planned to eat as much as he could while he was still alive.

Lu Yize didn't respond, but judging from the current situation of his supernatural space, he probably wouldn't be able to do without Xian Wenrui's food.

After Jiang Yue and Xian Wenrui peeled the bamboo shoots to near completion, Xian Wenrui processed them and then climbed outside the base to find a depression to dry them.

Just a few minutes after he went outside, Xian Wenrui was covered in sweat, and even his skin was red, swollen, and painful.

"This awful weather is killing me. I'm a water-type ability user, and I've already used my ability to insulate myself from the heat, but I still got burned like this. With this kind of weather, how are ordinary people without homes or abilities supposed to survive?"

Xian Wenrui had just laid out the bamboo shoots he and Jiang Yue had peeled to dry in the depression at the top of the base. Earlier, when the sea monsters were chasing them, they had smashed their base into the mountainside in their rage.

The depression forms a natural flat area, perfect for drying bamboo shoots and vegetables.

However, he didn't dare to leave it in the sun for too long in this weather, for fear that it would become a specimen and could be buried without even being eaten.

Xian Wenrui went in and out twice. The first time, his skin was only red and swollen, but when he came back the second time, his skin had developed high-temperature ulcers.

Lu Yize also noticed something was wrong. He looked up and glanced outside, then turned and tossed Xian Wenrui a bottle of good burn medicine.

"The outside temperature has risen again." Lu Yize concluded in a cold tone, looking at the thermometer which had once again exceeded the maximum reading.

Xian Wenrui didn't mince words. After taking the ointment, he grimaced and applied it to the sore area, and sincerely sighed, "It has indeed risen again. It feels like no one can stay here anymore. In this kind of weather, if we were outside, we probably wouldn't survive for long."

If it weren't for the temperature-regulating equipment they still have in their base, they would likely have died from the heat.

Compared to their leisurely pace of digging and drying bamboo shoots, Chen Mingzhang's office was truly busy to the point of being constantly on the go.

Due to the high temperature, Chen Mingzhang and others were scattered and housed in several small bases, where equipment, space, and resources were all limited.

Due to the impact of extreme weather, differing opinions inevitably arose among the crowd, along with some signals that were about to be incited, causing restlessness, fear, and unease.

These matters all need to be handled by Chen Mingzhang. Chen Mingzhang did not stop those who wanted to leave for the Donggu Base. He only said that there was a spatial transmission method between the central base and the Donggu Base, so they could leave on their own if they wanted to go to the Donggu Base.

Upon hearing the news, the previously quiet crowd became noisy, all speaking in hushed tones.

The sounds should have been indistinct due to the chaotic mix, but as superpowers advanced, those above the fourth level experienced countless voices in their minds.

It was as if each of them had their own separate audio channel, making all the noise exceptionally clear to their ears.

A large number of people, of course, wanted to go to a larger base to join them. They had witnessed the loss of most of the elite troops and had experienced the oppression of swarms of true Zerg, so they would feel more at ease if they entered a larger base.
