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

In his past life, when he met Jiang Yue, she had already ruined her voice while saving him.

Not being able to hear her say a word, not knowing her name, was Lu Yize's regret from his past life.

That's why he was so agitated and lost his composure when Jiang Yue spoke and called his name in bed earlier.

It was a very soft voice, somewhat like the one he had imagined, but he couldn't make it out.

After that first sound, no matter how much Lu Yize tried to coax her with food and crystal cores, Jiang Yue showed no intention of speaking again.

Lu Yize even wondered if he had to do *that* to provoke her. But then he found it funny and felt like he was delirious with fever.

Lu Yize has been running a low-grade fever lately. At first, he thought it was because his superpower was about to advance, but after checking his condition, he found that it wasn't the case. His superpower core hadn't finished evolving yet.

It was probably just a common low-grade fever, so Lu Yize didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Lu Yize suddenly developed a high fever that wouldn't stop, even waking up Jiang Yue, who was sleeping in his arms.

The powerful supernatural ability caused the air to ripple. Lu Yize felt as if his limbs were being filled with heavy, scalding molten iron, burning his body. When he opened his eyes, his vision was bloodshot and blurred.

The supernatural power within his body surged wildly, seemingly unable to find an outlet. The sudden explosion of energy within him made Lu Yize unable to control it, and blood kept overflowing from his pores, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.

Feeling the intense surge of supernatural power, Lu Yize used his last bit of rationality to push Jiang Yue away, afraid that he might accidentally hurt her.

After gaining her freedom, Jiang Yue looked at the food in front of her, which was emitting a wonderful aroma, and wanted to get closer, but she was scared away by the terrifying aura around it.

Jiang Yue glanced at Lu Yize, who was in so much pain he was almost dying, then looked up at the outside. The moonlight was high in the sky, and zombies were creatures of darkness that moved at night.

Suddenly, something seemed to dawn on her, and she got up to leave the room.

Lu Yize, whose mind was almost completely burned away, realized that she was about to leave. He immediately mustered up a burst of strength and grabbed the zombie.

"You're leaving?" The cold voice revealed barely suppressed anger.

Jiang Yue pried open the man's fingers one by one, her eyes surprisingly firm. How could Lu Yize let go? Blood stained his eyes, and violence surged in his heart.

If she's going to leave, then they might as well die together right now.

Lu Yize's reason was overwhelmed by his violent superpower. The two of them, one human and one zombie, attacked each other brutally. One wanted to leave, while the other tried every means to force her to stay.

Jiang Yue was only a first-level zombie after all, and was no match for Lu Yize, who was about to break through to the second level of superpowers. Lu Yize had lost all reason at this time, and his eyes were bloodshot.

If you look closely, their eyes are extremely similar to those of that mutated centipede.

He was gripping Jiang Yue's neck. With just a little force, Lu Yize could twist her neck off and then dig out the crystal core he desperately needed.

A voice kept urging him in his mind, "Dig it out, dig it out," endlessly amplifying Lu Yize's deepest ambition for power.

However, Lu Yize's deepest instincts controlled his hands, making it impossible for him to do it.

When Jiang Yue, whose neck was being choked, noticed a slight loosening of the grip, she seized the opportunity to break Lu Yize's arm and hurriedly retreated, disappearing into the darkness at lightning speed.

The moment of relaxation was because Lu Yize regained a sliver of rationality, but what he immediately felt was a sharp pain in his arm.

Lu Yize didn't even blink. He watched the zombie drift away from him, motionless, his disappointment and sorrow growing stronger.

She was not the zombie who had been with him for ten years in his past life. Perhaps this was just his obsession, and he had almost killed her just now.

This realization instantly brought Lu Yize back to his senses. He stood there dumbfounded, staring at the hand that had just hurt Jiang Yue. What... what was he doing just now?

Lu Yize stood there, his figure gradually swallowed by darkness and despair. He was suddenly grateful that Jiang Yue had awakened his last bit of rationality and that he had successfully escaped.

The sudden burst of high heat and surging energy threw Lu Yize's thoughts into chaos again, and he fell into a semi-comatose state, feeling somewhat dazed.

Memories from his past life were intertwined with everything that happened in this life. Lu Yize repeatedly recalled the scene of Jiang Yue taking out the crystal core without hesitation and dying for him in his past life.

This contrasts sharply with Jiang Yue's merciless departure today.

His past life overlapped with this one, but in both lives, he could no longer find the little zombie who only had eyes for him; she might no longer exist.

This realization caused Lu Yize's heart to ache terribly, so much so that his internal organs were restless. The energy constantly stimulated Lu Yize's senses, amplifying his despair.

Lu Yize was soaked in sweat, struggling alone in the darkness until dawn shone into his room, and he found a moment of clarity in the chaos.

Just then, the window was shattered by a familiar figure, and the zombie that had resolutely left reappeared in front of him.

Lu Yize opened his eyes, his gaze cold. He wasn't sure if this was his imagination or reality, or even if it was a fantasy that was leading him into a deeper illusion.

As the zombies drew closer, their eyes filled with obvious excitement, she limped to Lu Yize's side, a noticeable bruise already appearing on her neck.

She approached Lu Yize, and the next moment, hundreds of crystal cores fell from her blood-stained clothes, which were stained with countless zombie brains and blood.

She presented everything to Lu Yize.

As soon as the crystal nucleus approached Lu Yize, it was immediately and rapidly drained and absorbed, which is why Lu Yize regained a sliver of consciousness.

Jiang Yue was covered in wounds; her limbs bore the marks of being bitten by zombies, several fingernails were broken, her intestines were exposed from the attack, and she was limping due to an injury.

The most striking wound was the dark finger marks on her neck from being choked.

He stared at the zombie before him, its face splattered with dark green blood, its head still covered in zombie remains and brain matter. His heart trembled, and he was unable to calm down for a long time.

Her reason for leaving was not to escape, but because she had been fighting outside all night.

She brought back all the crystal cores she had dug up and presented them to Lu Yize at that moment.

Lu Yize didn't take it, but looked at her coldly, "Do you want to die again for someone like me?"

Jiang Yue couldn't understand such a long sentence. Seeing that Lu Yize hadn't reacted for a long time, she awkwardly imitated Lu Yize's behavior when he helped her level up before, reaching out and throwing herself into Lu Yize's arms, hugging him tightly.

Lu Yize paused, his fingertips trembling, and finally resigned himself to his fate, lowering his head to hold Jiang Yue tightly in his arms.

Like a drowning man grabbing onto a lifeline, he clutched the person in his arms with a heart-wrenching pain, wishing he could meld her into his very bones.
