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

"Good news has come from the base."

Chen Mingzhang pushed open the door with a joyful expression. Just then, several people from their base were sitting in the living room. Lu Yize was sitting in a chair, and Jiang Yue was leaning against the sofa chair next to him.

Zheng Lin and Chen Si sat on the floor, playing games on the projector with game controllers, while Morse, Chen Ping, and Xian Wenrui sat on the sofa on the other side.

Zhang Wenjing was petting Xiaobai, while Sheng Xue and Fan Jian were talking about something.

Upon hearing Chen Mingzhang's voice, the group looked up in unison. Chen Mingzhang and Zheng Mu exchanged a glance, and Chen Mingzhang gave her a reassuring look before turning to the others and saying, "I just received a message from Elder Zhang."

Chu Tian heard his teacher look up from his heavy books.

Chen Mingzhang activated the power ring in his hand, and the image of an infant in swaddling clothes appeared on it, its eyes looking around in confusion.

"The zombie pregnant woman who was pregnant at the base gave birth today. It's a girl, a crystal core creature, weighing 6.8 pounds. We can't tell what kind of ability she has yet; it will take some more time."

Since the apocalypse, they hadn't seen a new life born for a long time. Although these grown men weren't particularly fond of children, this child was different.

Plus, they just beat the Knicks and Gloria today, and the baby just happened to be born today, so everyone seems to have a loving filter on them.

"You know what, this kid is actually uniquely ugly. If you look closely, you can even see a bit of cuteness in him," Fan Jian commented, stroking his chin.

Morse clicked his tongue twice. "But why is his head so bald? It's not good for someone so young to be bald. Sheng Xue, why don't you go back and see if you can get it treated?"

Sheng Xue listened to the two men's unreliable words, and the veins on her forehead were throbbing. What nonsense were they spouting?

Zheng Lin, Chen Sichang, and Jia Mu also gathered around, thinking of going back to steal it to play with.

Even someone like Zhang Wenjing seemed a bit gentler when looking at the child's projection, but her words were as cruel as ever: "There are too few children at the base right now, the birth rate is too low, and the kindergarten can't even open. This child can be sent there for one-on-one tutoring later."

Zheng Lin, who was still a primary school student and at the age where he disliked school, took a step back in fear. Oh dear, this little sister is too pitiful.

The news of a newborn at the Nanling Base made the leaders of the other three bases quite envious, as their bases hadn't had a newborn for a very long time.

Xavier also asked Sheng Xue if the zombie couple had any special methods of conceiving offspring. Although he couldn't have children himself, he wanted to ask the others in the base to increase the birth rate.

The birth rate is a matter of great importance, and not only the other three major bases are concerned about it, but the Nanling area is also concerned about it.

Zhang Wenjing's gaze swept over Lu Yize, Jiang Yue, and the others. She was disappointed in them. There were quite a few couples in the base, but they hadn't achieved anything with their efforts. It was clear that what they were doing was a waste of time.

Forget it, it's better to rely on yourself than on them. Zhang Wenjing decided to go back and study how to increase her chances of getting pregnant.

It's a good thing that there's a newborn at the base. Since this is the only child, Lu Yize isn't stingy and has Chen Mingzhang provide welfare subsidies for the child until adulthood.

"Oh right, there's one more thing. The reputation of the Federation's aristocratic families has collapsed. Ron and the other remaining ninth-tier members have decided to revise the Federation's policies and have invited us to participate."

Lu Yize was not good at handling these trivial interpersonal matters, nor was he interested in them, so he asked Chen Mingzhang to take Wilson and Xavier to participate.

They were all masters of power politics.

While Chen Mingzhang led them to argue with the old-established families and emerging elites of the Federation, as well as the leaders of several planets involved in the war, Lu Yize followed Jiang Yue to tour several nearby planets.

Lu Yize assigned many tasks to everyone else: some went to study starships, some to study pharmacology, and some to buy electrical appliances...

After arranging things, he took Jiang Yue on a trip to other planets under the pretext of exploring them.

It's quite interesting, really. The species and living environments on other planets are completely different from those on Earth. If the Federation's main planet is a technological city, then the other planets each have their own unique characteristics.

The desert closest to the main planet is inhabited by a mutated species resembling lizardmen, with reddish-brown skin covered in brown scales.

They still retain some of the main characteristics of primitive lizards, which explains why they call Blue Star a primitive civilization. Many creatures on Blue Star that have not mutated can be traced back to other races in the Federation.

However, now that the supernatural core has completely merged with the blue planet, these primitive creatures are gradually disappearing. Generally speaking, according to the development trend of other planets, there should be a natural selection process among them.

Then a single race gradually forms, and this race then occupies a dominant position on the planet.

Just like their planet, it is almost entirely inhabited by lizard people, and only a few others are able to adapt to the environment and survive.

However, the food in their desert is quite good. The water in their desert oasis is sweet and the fruits are exceptionally sweet, but they are all extremely precious and can only be enjoyed by a very few people, such as the chief.

Lu Yize showed his face when he fought against Nix and killed Gloria. Now, everyone in the Federation knows that he is the Federation's only peak ninth-tier superpowered individual.

When the leader of the desert planet heard that he had come to his planet, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down. He thought that the leader had come to take him away.

Afterwards, he was even more nervous and prepared to bring out the best things on the entire planet to entertain him. However, to his surprise, apart from giving him face on the first day and making a brief appearance, the other party just played by himself the rest of the time.

They even disguised themselves because their faces were so striking, since they weren't like Morse, who wanted everyone's attention glued to him.

Even on the first day, after Desert Star warmly entertained him with what they considered to be the best local specialties, Lu Yize reciprocated by giving him a lot of fruit and medicine as a reward.

Although Lu Yize is indeed very strong, everyone knows that their planet is just starting out, and medicines and starships are weak points. However, the leader of the desert planet has a good temper and empathy, and thinks that this is probably the best that the small planet can offer.

That night, he drank one of the potions before bed, and suddenly, the bottleneck that had plagued him for fifty years loosened up!

What exactly is in this potion that allows the human body to absorb such a large amount of supernatural energy so easily?!

Once he regained his senses, the desert star chieftain immediately yelled at his subordinates, "Quick! Quickly find the blue star chieftain and buy a few more bottles of this potion!!!"
