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

"The fourth-tier alien plant is about to advance?" Morse became interested upon hearing this, as it would most likely take on a human form after advancing.

"Yes, I definitely have some. Do you need my help? Is this plant male or female?"

Upon hearing Morse's words, Chen Ping knew what he was thinking, but he couldn't say much about it. If the exotic plant was willing, then so be it.

"If you don't know whether it's male or female, you can just ask it."

Morse was somewhat excited and got up without saying a word to find the exotic plant that needed to be upgraded.

Chen Ping ignored Morse and the alien plant, and instead received a message from Chen Mingzhang asking him to go to the freezer to help organize the ingredients.

When Chen Mingzhang saw Chen Ping coming over, he asked, "Is the accommodation all arranged?"

"It's all arranged. We've even set aside an area for Xie Hongyang's zombies, but we've made sure it's separate from the human dwellings." As Chen Ping reported these things, his eyes were fixed on the food in front of him.

He was worried that there wouldn't be enough food in the base. Although they had already transferred all the food from the previous central base, they still couldn't last more than three months if they just sat around eating and scrimped and saved.

But now... Chen Ping suddenly felt relieved. With such a small group of people, they could probably eat for thirty years.

"Okay, just separate them. These foods are too disorganized. Organize them first, then distribute and register them daily. Organize hunting teams first, and go out to forage when the situation is more stable. For now, stay in the base."

Upon hearing Chen Mingzhang's instructions, Chen Ping nodded to indicate that he understood, "Things are unstable outside recently, so it's indeed not suitable to go out."

"Have you detected any news from outside?" Chen Mingzhang knew that Chen Ping's special ability was detection, and his ability to collect information was particularly outstanding.

"Well, the Zerg and several other races have built a sky city in the sky, connected by starships and created by supernatural abilities. Apart from that, there haven't been any other actions yet."

"They haven't gone to Lincheng yet?"

Chen Ping shook his head. "We can't detect it."

His ability level is not low, at level four, but he couldn't find out the situation in that area, which most likely means they used a special ability to block it.

Chen Mingzhang naturally thought of this as well. Their understanding of superpowers was still too limited, and they had only had a few months to utilize and develop them. That was far too little time.

Zheng Lin, who was carrying the corpse of the sea monster, was sullen after hearing these words. He originally thought he was already quite strong and could protect his sister even in the apocalypse.

But now, he finds that it seems like anyone could crush him with just a single finger.

This weakness has made him lose his appetite recently, and he can only manage to eat five bowls of rice.

"Brother Mingzhang, what exactly are those insects trying to do? They're even building a sky city in our heavens. What, do they want to become Heavenly Dragons?"

Zheng Lin is at the age where he loves watching anime and has a bit of a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) mentality, but what he said is actually not wrong.

The Zerg initially hid their laboratory underwater to avoid exposure, but now that they have divided the spoils, they no longer need to hide and will likely act even more erratically.

"Their primary objective is probably the Black Crystal. They can't worry about us for now, but later... neither the Zerg nor any other race will let us natives live freely."

When the strength is evenly matched, there might be a possibility of negotiation, but now the two sides are too far apart in strength, and the Zerg will not give them a chance to negotiate at all, but will only squeeze out their last bit of value.

Lu Yize lay on the recliner, his brows slightly furrowed. His mental energy enveloped the entire base, and he was aware of everything that happened within it, big or small.

There weren't many people and little noise in the base before, but now it's quite noisy. Lu Yize doesn't have a penchant for prying into people's privacy, but he doesn't overlook any potential problems.

As Lu Yize closed his eyes to rest, he noticed a faint spiritual force hovering around him, clinging to him affectionately. Lu Yize slightly opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yue, who was pretending to be serious beside him.

Lu Yize didn't say anything, but just glanced at her. The mental energy wrapped around him retreated a little. Lu Yize calmly leaned back in the recliner and swayed, but used his mental energy to suppress Jiang Yue's mental energy.

The sensitive mental energy was stimulated, causing its owner to tremble all over, a tingling sensation sweeping across his scalp. Lu Yize reached out and played with the invisible mental energy, kneading, touching, and stroking it...

"do not do that…"

Jiang Yue blushed and stood up, unaware that her mental energy was so sensitive.

No, it should be said that Lu Yize's behavior made her overthink things. If nothing had happened between them, Jiang Yue probably wouldn't have thought much of his methods.

But they had already done what they needed to do. How could Jiang Yue not know what Lu Yize meant by his eyes and the way he touched her?

The blatant provocation made it difficult to maintain basic composure, but the seemingly indifferent person in front of her was doing something despicable, as if deliberately trying to see her make a fool of herself.

Lu Yize seemed not to understand what she was saying. Not only did he not stop what he was doing, he even tightened his grip on Jiang Yue's mental energy.

Jiang Yue staggered to Lu Yize's side, leaned over him, grabbed his hand, and repeated, her cheeks flushed, "Don't do this..."

Lu Yize felt that Jiang Yue was being unreasonable. It was clearly her mental energy that had entangled him first, and now she wouldn't let him flirt with her. This was clearly Jiang Yue's fault.

"Why is your mental energy clinging to me?" Lu Yize released his grip on the mental energy, his tone not harsh, but rather slightly teasing.

Jiang Yue pursed her lips and remained silent. She thought that she had been very discreet and careful in sticking to Lu Yize with her spiritual power, and that she should not have been discovered. But she did not expect to be caught red-handed.

Jiang Yue still had some sense of shame, so even though she was caught red-handed, she remained silent, intending to play dumb and let the matter drop.

Lu Yize found Jiang Yue's behavior intriguing; he neither released her mental energy nor allowed her to return. He himself didn't understand his own psychology.

If he had asked that question, Xian Wenrui would have been there to answer him. What else could it be but the mentality of those elementary school students who want to bully the girls they like?

Lu Yize was no kind-hearted; the more silent she became, the more he pressed her for answers. When the pressure became too much, Jiang Yue blurted out, "Your mental energy is also clinging to me..."

Lu Yize paused in his hand, which was playing with Jiang Yue's mental energy. His mental energy and ability level were far higher than Jiang Yue's, so he shouldn't have been discovered.

Even if it were true, Lu Yize only paused for a moment. When he looked at Jiang Yue again, a hint of gentleness softened in his usually cold eyes. "You've always known?"
