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

When they first heard Chen Mingzhang's regulations, most people were a little uneasy, after all, there were quite a few people in the base, and the amount of food needed to feed them all was enormous.

They had already prepared for the worst, as long as they didn't starve to death.

Among them were many low-level ability users like the first rank. They thought they would be lucky to get a bite of meat, but they never expected that he would actually get five catties of exotic beast meat.

Zheng Lin and Chen Ping were in charge of distributing the goods. They were distributing a large quantity, and Zheng Lin was running out of patience. Seeing that the people in front of him weren't leaving, he frowned, annoyed. "Not satisfied?"

The superhuman in front of him looked up blankly, clearly not having reacted yet, but Zheng Lin didn't understand. "If you're not satisfied, you can do other missions. You should have metal-type superpowers, right? You can do some extra missions within the base after completing the daily basic missions."

"The base is currently short of accommodation. We will need to arrange accommodation for Xie Hongyang when he returns with the zombies. The base will also need to be continuously reinforced and expanded. As long as you have superpowers, work hard and earn points to exchange for other food."

The first-tier ability user in front of him was a beat slow to react, and asked, flattered, "Do I need to exchange these meats for points?"

"No need. You can obtain these by completing the basic tasks within the base every day. Whether you are an ordinary person or a superhuman, you need to complete the basic tasks assigned by the base. The assignments will be based on your own strength."

"Children under ten years old and seniors over sixty years old can receive an extra subsidy for rice, flour and vegetables. For others, vegetables will be distributed at the base every three days."

This metal-powered individual happened to have a young daughter at home. Although the child was young, she was exceptionally sensible. However, she had been living a life of constant wandering since the apocalypse. Upon hearing Zheng Lin's explanation, this grown man couldn't help but tear up.

"Thank you, thank you..." He hurriedly ran back to his residence with his share of supplies and shared the news with his wife. His wife was both happy and heartbroken when she heard about it, and hugged their small daughter tightly.

Their child is only three years old. Although they can survive by eating the flesh of strange beasts, it is not really suitable for a child.

"That's great, that's really great. I'll take Nannan to get her supplies."

"I will go with you."

Although the metal-type ability user was happy, he also felt uneasy. Vegetables, rice, and noodles were all good things in the apocalypse.

Rice, noodles, and vegetables are only available to high-level ability users. Those with lower ability levels can only get them once every few days, while children and the elderly can receive a separate portion every day.

The reason they give preferential treatment to children and the elderly is that they know that in this apocalypse, the mortality rate for these two groups is extremely high, and they can't even gather ten children under the age of ten and elderly people in an entire base.

Moreover, most of these spots are reserved for children, with only one elderly person, who was someone who awakened their superpowers and survived.

Needless to say, there are no weak cubs among the alien beasts and sea creatures that can infiltrate this base and be controlled by high-level alien beasts. No, there is one.

The beast cub that was protected by all the beasts in the middle, and even the two high-level beasts that had transformed into humans took special care of it.

The fawn, just like the towering giant deer of the past, was one of the reasons that giant deer migrated eastward in search of a way to survive.

This is what Chen Mingzhang later learned from communicating with the two beasts that had evolved into human form: their king had decided to travel from Xiyue to Donggu for the sake of their beast race and this little deer.

These strange beasts were especially convinced of the giant deer that spoke human language. This little deer was destined to have the same abilities as its parents after it was born, and all the strange beasts submitted to it and recognized it as their king.

Based on its age, this fawn, which is only a few months old, also received a special food allowance from the shelter.

Seeing this, several old trees that had lived for only a few decades also pretended to be stupid, pretending to be nothing more than juveniles, trying to trick them into giving them more nutrients. Unfortunately, they were ruthlessly exposed and had three days' worth of food deducted as a warning.

When the metal-powered individual finally received her share of rice, noodles, and vegetables with her daughter, Zheng Lin, who was in charge of distributing them, gave a formal instruction: "Children's rice, noodles, and vegetables are not transferable or sellable."

This was a rule specifically formulated by Lu Yize to prevent anyone from trying to exploit loopholes and seize this small portion of food.

He didn't trust humanity in the apocalypse, but it was only the early stages of the apocalypse, and everyone had experienced several life-or-death crises and been screened by Jiang Yue's supernatural abilities, so no one had the thought of stealing the cubs' food.

Because children are so scarce, not to mention the three-year-old girl in the arms of this metal-powered individual, most people in the base are kind to the child. Even without this reminder, they wouldn't actually take the child's nutritional supplements.

The entire base was filled with the aroma of food that day. The metal-powered individual held his wife and daughter, feeling a rare sense of peace.

They never imagined that they would be able to eat their fill, dress warmly, and sleep soundly in the apocalypse. Even back in the central base, they never had such a life.

Although the central base was better than many smaller bases, and the base leader Chen Mingzhang, who later took over, was not bad and tried his best to manage the base, there were always a few unsettling people who infiltrated it.

As ordinary superhumans, they could only live in a small, crowded house with others, and never had their own small house like they do now.

Although the crisis of foreign invasion has not been resolved, and their base is still living with sea monsters, alien beasts, plants, and zombies, he still inexplicably felt at ease.

Even his youngest daughter, who was well-fed, slept soundly. He and his wife, who was also unable to sleep, quietly remarked on how good things were now, and the more they talked, the more confident they felt about the future.

These voices are not just from one family, nor are they solely from the human side. Even the exotic plants, beasts, and sea creatures are happy with their current lives; they simply want to live well in this world.

Lu Yize listened to the voices captured by his spiritual power with his eyes closed, his expression unchanged as he listened to their praise and exclamations.

Lu Yize glanced at the doorway, and Jiang Yue, who was cultivating, also looked up. Their residence was located on the top floor of the base, which was to avoid being disturbed by anyone.

Normally no one would come, but at this moment the door was knocked on. Before Lu Yize could react, Jiang Yue already looked wary and resistant.

No, not only that, the zombie features that had disappeared were vaguely reappearing, indicating that Jiang Yue's emotions were fluctuating greatly at this time.

Lu Yize looked at Jiang Yue, and his previously listless face now showed some pleasure.
