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

“Riva, you said that before, but this time it’s different; they got away.”

Upon hearing this, Riva turned around in anger, wishing she could tear Cecil's insect skin off. "I'd rather kill him than have you completely forgotten the shame you suffered!"

Cecil had not forgotten the humiliation he suffered at the hands of these humans, but his feelings were indeed complicated when he faced them now.

Cecil didn't want them to be killed easily, otherwise it would make him seem useless for failing his previous mission. So when Hilder made her move, Cecil didn't make any move.

However, he had not gained any advantage from these humans, and from the Zerg's perspective, he naturally did not want to let them grow unchecked.

It's probably a hope that they will eventually die, but preferably hold on for a while before they die, otherwise it would be a waste of all the suffering and ridicule they endured.

Cecil didn't explicitly state his thoughts, and Noah also had his own considerations. He knew better than anyone else the potential of these people, from their initial low-level abilities to their current almost identical power levels.

"These humans have great potential and have mastered the use of superpowers in a short period of time. If they are not eliminated as soon as possible, they will become a menace."

These words were supposed to be a reminder to Hilde, but Noah thought of his family and the Insect King, and for some reason he stopped talking.

As the fog dissipated, the corpses that had been lying in rows in the small base all disappeared, leaving only traces of blood that had not yet dried. Noah and Cecil had both possessed humans and had human memories, so they knew how much attention humans paid to corpses.

Noah's fingers twitched slightly. These bloodstains and deaths meant that the Zerg and humans could not coexist. They had to either erase these bloodstains or... cover them with Zerg blood.

Lu Yize and others escaped using spatial abilities, while the others were hidden by him using his spatial abilities.

Of course, Lu Yize couldn't let those people go to the place he and Jiang Yue had arranged; he simply threw them into a piece of uncultivated wasteland within the space.

They were only released after they were out of danger. The total number of people who had escaped was less than five hundred, which was more than enough for Lu Yize's own base to accommodate.

At the same time, these people were all selected by Jiang Yue's mental abilities under extreme circumstances to ensure that they would not have any disloyal intentions.

Most of the people who died earlier were actually people planted by various forces after Jiang Yue screened them. Chen Mingzhang and others also used these insectoids to eliminate the threat.

However, one person was special. Jiang Yue's gaze fell on Su Xuan, who was huddled in the corner, but whose eyes were fixed on her.

This is her own mother, but also... her father's informant.

Su Xuan is an ordinary person. Her heart is beating a little fast. Lu Yize knew about Su Xuan's abnormality from Jiang Yue, but he still brought her back and did not take her life for the time being.

Lu Yize didn't care whether Su Xuan lived or died, but she was Jiang Yue's mother after all, and probably knew a lot of things. Lu Yize didn't want to kill her so quickly.

"Chen Mingzhang, settle the people in."

Lu Yize had used up a lot of his supernatural abilities, and he didn't want to deal with these trivial matters. Chen Mingzhang was already used to doing them anyway, so he let him do them.

They had previously agreed in private to use the opportunity of another race's invasion to have Jiang Yue use her supernatural abilities to eliminate those with disloyal intentions, and then bring the remaining people back to the base.

Even supplies were moved early on. Although Lu Yize was aloof, he knew that in the post-apocalyptic world, if he wanted to survive, he had to build his own power.

Regardless of whether those three bases are reliable or not, Lu Yize doesn't want to be in a passive position if he chooses to join them, as he would lose control of the situation.

It must be said that Lu Yize's base is more than capable of accommodating several hundred people, and the environment is far better than the small base he stayed at before.

Having survived several natural and man-made disasters, the hundreds of people now have immense faith in Lu Yize, who has saved their lives on several occasions.

The base where Lu Yize was located was divided into several concentric circles. The area where they usually lived and worked was the core circle of the base, where laboratories and warehouses were also located.

This area is off-limits to others. Although Lu Yize is keen to build his own power, he doesn't want his life to be disturbed too much.

Aside from the core circle, the outermost layer was for Chen Mingzhang and Morse, and the outermost circle was where other followers were placed.

Chen Mingzhang was adept at managing the base, and Lu Yize even handed him the warehouse keys. Chen Mingzhang naturally accepted the warehouse keys, but his worried expression remained.

"Currently, there are 237 people, 112 exotic beasts, 36 exotic plants, and 213 sea beasts in the base. The consumption in the warehouse may be very high, so I prefer to form a hunting team to go out and find food."

They used to be able to kill each other without any guilt, but now, not only can alien beasts and sea monsters not devour humans, but humans can also not eat alien beasts and sea monsters at will.

As for the heterophyous plant... it was excluded because it was too unpalatable from beginning to end.

Their current food is generally low-level, mindless alien beasts or sea creatures. In the words of the alien beasts and sea creatures that have transformed into human form, these creatures have always believed in the law of the jungle.

If it weren't for the rules set by humans, they wouldn't eat those powerful superhumans, but they would definitely eat ordinary people. However, since humans don't allow it, they naturally won't break the rules.

They can hunt low-level and highly aggressive alien sea beasts for food. Ordinary alien sea beasts are larger and can feed the creatures in the base for a long time.

"There is plenty of food in the warehouse, enough for now. Don't go out rashly."

Lu Yize understood Chen Mingzhang's concerns, but it was not advisable to go out now. Before they figured out the Zerg's specific actions, it was not appropriate to go out rashly, lest they be captured.

Chen Mingzhang understood why Lu Yize didn't want him to go out rashly, but he was indeed worried about the food. Most of the more than 500 people in the base had awakened their superpowers, and those with superpowers had an even greater need for food.

A fifth-level ability user like Morse can eat a hundred servings of food that an ordinary person would need in one meal. Even if Lu Yize has a lot of food, it would be difficult for so many people to eat like this.

However, this worry inexplicably dissipated after Chen Mingzhang opened Lu Yize's freezer. Looking at the food piled up to the point of overflowing, Chen Mingzhang's lips twitched, and he felt that he had worried for nothing.

The corpses of these sea monsters were piled up so high that the entire freezer was about to explode, and they were all high-level sea monsters.

"These are the sea monsters and strange beasts I killed during the previous sea monster tide. I put them into my spatial storage after killing them," Lu Yize explained simply about the source of the food.
