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

Huang Mao was still immersed in sadness, but when he saw Lu Yize glance at him, he immediately declared, "I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay with Brother Lu."

He was luckier; his parents weren't here, they went to City B, which is currently home to the largest base in the country.

He was fortunate enough to get in touch with his parents and learn that they were still alive, so he wasn't as worried as others.

As for Sheng Xue, Huang Mao was afraid that she would be reminded of sad things, so he quickly spoke up for her, "Brother Lu, Xiao Xue will come with me."

He genuinely treated Sheng Xue like a younger sister; they had known each other since they were toddlers, and she was a little girl he had watched grow up.

When he learned that her parents had been bitten by zombies, Huang Mao was so upset that he shed tears.

So even after he learned that Sheng Xue had been bitten by a zombie and could turn into one at any time, he still gritted his teeth and didn't give up, locking her in the house.

He was prepared to kill her himself if she really did turn into a zombie.

Sheng Xue considered ending her own life, but he stopped her. Fortunately, they were lucky, and Sheng Xue survived.

Sheng Xue had no objection to this. Compared to going to an unknown base, she actually preferred the place where Lu Yize and the others were.

Fewer people, stronger capabilities, and a relatively higher safety level.

Seeing that they had made their decision, Lu Yize stopped interfering and respected their individual fate.

After dropping the person off some distance from the base entrance, Lu Yize put them down and made no further move.

Green Hair and Purple Hair understood Lu Yize's concerns, after all, he had a zombie with him.

There are countless people in the base who hate zombies, and if a fight breaks out, it will be a troublesome affair.

"Thanks, Brother Lu. Please be careful too."

After getting out of the car, the two said goodbye to the people in the car. In this post-apocalyptic world, having to part ways with familiar people made them feel a mix of emotions.

The blond-haired man poked his head out, looking somewhat sad. "There's nothing more to say. I just wish you all a speedy reunion with your families."

Lu Yize wasn't one to be sentimental. He gave them a few crystal cores and some supplies, saying, "Keep the crystal cores safe; you'll need them someday."

Crystal cores are like currency before the apocalypse, and they have many uses.

"Thanks, Brother Lu. If we find our family in the future, we'll come to see you again if we have the chance."

"Ah."

Lu Yize did not refuse. In the apocalypse, the most unpredictable thing is the future. If there is a chance to meet again, we can talk about it.

After seeing the two off and watching them safely enter the base, Lu Yize and the others drove away.

Lu Yize sensed something, glanced back, but quickly looked away, not really caring.

At the entrance to the base, a woman with only one leg stared fiercely in the direction their car had left.

Unexpectedly, Cui Yingying and the others also joined this base. But then again, given their small group, joining a military-organized base for safety was the right choice.

That would make for a good show.

Because Li Anchang's so-called true love is the daughter of the base's leader.

But in this life, Li Anchang and Cui Yingying's relationship probably won't progress as smoothly as it did in their previous life.

Lu Yize was in a good mood. Jiang Yue looked at his upturned lips, then turned her head to the rearview mirror and poked her cheek with her finger.

She couldn't understand why she couldn't show that kind of expression like Lu Yize.

Her face seemed a little disobedient, and Jiang Yue suddenly felt sullen.

To be honest, Lu Yize wasn't exactly a considerate person, and he couldn't fathom what was going on in the little brains of zombies.

Watching her keep gesturing in front of the mirror, I couldn't help but think to myself, "Sure enough, whether it's a woman or a female zombie, they all love beauty."

When they finally arrived at Lu Yize's safe house halfway up the mountain after winding their way through the hills, Huang Mao was startled by the mutated plants in front of him.

He rubbed his arms, asking uncertainly, "Is this...is this habitable? What if I wake up in the middle of the night and get swallowed up by these plants?"

Sheng Xue glanced at him helplessly. Sometimes she couldn't understand why her brother's mind was full of such messy questions.

"No, don't worry, Huang Mao. Brother Lu can control these plants, you don't need to worry," Xian Wenrui kindly reminded him.

Huang Mao didn't realize for a moment who the Huang Mao Xian Wenrui was talking about was.

It wasn't until they were all staring at him that he realized the blond guy was calling him!

"What yellow hair? I think you're the yellow hair. Have you no manners? I am Fan Jian, and I never change my name." Young Master Fan Jian loudly announced his name.

Upon hearing this, Xian Wenrui immediately burst into laughter, leaning on the steering wheel. "What? What did you say your name was? 'Fanjian'? Who gave you that name? I'm dying of laughter."

Young Master Fan coughed to cover his embarrassment, which is why he rarely uses his full name in public; people usually call him Young Master Fan.

“My grandfather named it, saying that a humble name is easier to raise a child with. What do you know?”

"You rich people pay attention to this too? I thought only poor people like us cared about this."

"My family is rich, but we're all coal mine owners. We don't have much talent for studying, you know?"

Young Master Fan is a down-to-earth person and doesn't feel ashamed at all. He even wanted to share his family tree with Xian Wenrui.

Sheng Xue couldn't bear to watch any longer and reached out to tug at Fan Jian.

Tell him not to get so excited that he keeps bringing up their embarrassing childhood stories. He may not care about his reputation, but he does.

The young master, whose desire to share was overflowing, was kept quiet by his childhood sweetheart and felt a little regretful that he couldn't speak his mind.

However, he soon discovered something new that diverted his attention.

When he saw Xian Wenrui move the supplies from the truck to a place that looked like a doghouse, he pointed at the doghouse in shock and said, "You keep pets?"

“I’ve realized that it’s not unjust that Brother Lu beat you up before. How have you survived until now with a mouth like that?” Xian Wenrui picked up a hammer and started banging on his doghouse.

"Why are we suddenly bringing up things from the past? Where's your pet?"

Fan Jian is a man whose name truly reflects his character; his grandfather certainly didn't choose the wrong name for him.

"This is where I live, brother." Xian Wenrui finally understood that if he didn't speak directly to this man, he wouldn't understand.

"Ah, so you live in a doghouse... Oh, this open-air villa, actually, it's not so bad."

Fan Jian was sharp-tongued but not malicious; he tried to cover up his mistakes while offering a vague but comforting reassurance.

Lu Yize felt ashamed of Fan Jian once again. He shouldn't have taken that startup capital from him in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a stupid friend.

"Come in with me."

Lu Yize's words interrupted Fan Jian's efforts to make amends.

Upon hearing Brother Lu's words, Fan Jianli immediately scurried over and pushed Sheng Xue to follow, leaving Xian Wenrui watching with a hint of envy. "How wonderful," he thought, "why don't I have a brother who can protect me?"

Before Xian Wenrui could finish his internal monologue, he heard his brother Lu turn around, frown, and say impatiently, "Xian Wenrui, bring your doghouse in with you."

Xian Wenrui immediately looked up, reacted in a fraction of a second, and then immediately picked up his doghouse and ran inside, shouting, "Hey! Coming!"
