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

The news of the first food festival quickly spread throughout the base. Just then, the alien race withdrew, and both humans and aliens in the base had been excited for several days and needed a celebration ceremony. This food festival came at the perfect time.

The base was previously a mess, but after a period of repair and planning, it has gradually taken on the appearance of streets that were not damaged before the apocalypse, and even the greenery on both sides of the road has been done quite well.

The Nanling base has been continuously expanding, and now it can accommodate far more people than it did at the beginning. The streets have also been replanned.

The types of jobs within the base have been continuously improved. The main change is that it has shifted from the technological era to the current era of superpowers. Now, even the job of burning garbage can be done using superpowers.

Just two days ago, gene injections for superpowers began to become more widespread, because research has found that the lifespan of superpowered individuals and crystal-core organisms is three to four times that of ordinary humans.

Moreover, the physical functions of a creature with superpowers will always be maintained at their peak. When they die, they will naturally perish along with the crystal core and the superpower core, and their spiritual body and superpower core will dissipate together.

Most ordinary people in the base began to participate in genetic testing to determine whether they were crystal core organisms or superhuman core organisms, and then they underwent the corresponding genetic awakening.

The couple who wanted children have temporarily given up their plans. However, they were lucky; both of them were crystal core beings after awakening, which means that their future children will also be crystal core beings, making it relatively easier for them to have children.

Some people, after their genes have fully awakened, haven't even realized it yet. They look at their still intact hands, look in the mirror and find that they haven't changed much. "Am I a zombie? I don't feel any different. Oh, it's just that my forehead feels hot."

His words were incredibly offensive to the zombies. Just then, a level 3 zombie happened to pass by and said resentfully, "You're lucky to be born at such a time. Unlike me, I became a zombie at the beginning of the apocalypse and all sorts of bad luck have befallen me."

These zombies from the early post-apocalyptic world, after regaining their human memories, generally had some psychological issues. Their bodies could return to normal, but some were in very poor mental condition. After consulting with these zombies, Sheng Xue asked Jiang Yue to seal away their memories of being zombies.

Some zombies voluntarily sealed their memories because, regardless of whether they did it voluntarily, they had indeed done cannibalism. Now that they have regained their human memories, they feel nauseous, disgusted, and guilty.

Because most people, after turning into zombies, will first attack those closest to them, and Xie Hongyang himself couldn't overcome that hurdle.

Some zombies, after regaining their human memories, discover that all their loved ones are dead, killed by their own hands. They feel they can't forget, wondering why they are all dead while they are still alive.

Whether they carried guilt or remorse, they did not choose to erase the memory of becoming zombies.

In comparison, the people who are now undergoing genetic awakening are much luckier. They can control their loss of rationality after becoming zombified. Apart from having an extra crystal core in their brains that allows them to use superpowers, they are almost no different from ordinary people.

However, relatively speaking, those who awaken later do not have as strong supernatural talents as those who awaken from the beginning, especially those who awaken on their own, whose talents are far stronger than those who awaken after gene injection.

Take the little girl from Lei Jie's family who awakened at the age of six, for example. She is only six years old and has only recently advanced to the next level, but she is already close to reaching the second level. She is a genius that only one in ten million people can find.

Those who awaken as superhumans after receiving gene injections may take several years, even more than a decade, to barely reach the second tier.

However, her situation is likely due to a genetic mutation, since neither her parents nor her brother possessed exceptional supernatural abilities. Her uncle, Raine, though had some talent, so it's possible that they shared this gene in their family.

Currently, there are only a few young people in the base who haven't awakened their superpowers yet; the rest have all been injected with awakening genes, and there haven't been any unexpected incidents.

Most people in the base were focused on the child in the zombie couple's womb, while some planned to observe the child's condition before deciding whether to have the baby.

It can be said that she was already the focus of attention even before she was born, and even the base gave the pregnant woman some extra material subsidies.

After all, the child in her belly is related to whether or not the zero birth rate can be broken, and will likely affect the future birth rate.

Most people have experienced the apocalypse, and although their lives have begun to stabilize now, they are still afraid that unexpected situations may occur, such as the Zerg returning. Therefore, they dare not have offspring now.

However, after becoming a superhuman and a crystal core zombie, their physical abilities have been continuously enhanced in all aspects. Sometimes, when two people are in bed, breaking a bed is a minor matter, let alone breaking a thin condom.

For a time, the people in the base were very distressed, and some of the alien plants were even more distressed, as they dared not even pollinate them. Humans, at least, usually have only one or two or three offspring at a time, but alien plants are different.

Like a pear tree, each batch can bear hundreds of fruits. However, fortunately, these fruits can only be conceived with the potential for supernatural abilities if they are pollinated. Those fruits should be collected, placed on the bed, and slowly nurtured until they can speak.

These unpollinated, self-fertile plants will generously share them with others. The person who received this little pear twitched at the corner of their mouth, "Are you sure this is just a regular pear, and not your baby?"

The mutated pear tree thought humans were really interesting, even telling jokes. "Don't worry, these are just ordinary fruits that grow on me. Look how lifeless they are, without any supernatural energy fluctuations. They're not my babies. When I have babies, I'll show them to you, and then you'll know the difference."

The person who received the pear smiled awkwardly. You guys with your plant-based plants are really ahead of their time. He was too embarrassed to eat it when he got home, afraid that if he took a bite, the little pear in his hand would scream.

As a result, this human neighbor had many nightmares and treated that basket of pears like an ancestor. Only when he saw that the pears were about to spoil did he realize that they were just ordinary pears that were a little hard to eat, and only then did he eat them.

Although the fruits grown from these hybrid plants aren't very tasty, they are quite thirst-quenching, and they can fetch a good price if sold on the farm's online store.

To prevent accidental ingestion of the alien plant offspring, the base has implemented a rule that any food found must be handed over immediately and cannot be eaten directly.
