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

Jiang Yue stared at the tombstone, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. She seemed to know the woman's name in that woman's memory.

It seems to be called... called...

"Zhang...Qian".

Jiang Yue's voice made the group of people who were about to leave stop in their tracks, and all eyes were focused on her.

"What?" Lu Yize tightened his grip on Jiang Yue's hand.

Jiang Yue stopped speaking and turned her attention to Lu Yize, as if what she had just said had never happened.

She felt that the food supplies in front of her tasted exceptionally sweet today, and they exuded a special kind of energy. All she needed to do was eat them to fill her stomach.

She didn't know that this was because Lu Yize's emotions were fluctuating, causing his supernatural abilities to surge.

Sheng Xue, who was closest, heard her words clearly and looked uncertainly at the blank tombstone. "Was what Jiang Yue just said... this woman's name?"

Xian Wenrui, who also possessed supernatural abilities, spoke uncertainly, "I guess... right? But how did she know? And my sister-in-law can talk now?"

"I don't know, I didn't even hear what you were saying. How come you all have such good hearing?"

As the only non-superpowered individual with impaired hearing, Fan Jian failed to hear Jiang Yue's words, leading him to reasonably suspect that they were isolating him.

Lu Yize stared intently at Jiang Yue, trying to figure out what was wrong with her, but unfortunately, Jiang Yue still looked like a zombie.

Seeing the silence, Xian Wenrui spoke up, "Forget it, even if it really is, we don't know which two words it is. Let's go, let's not dwell on it."

“That makes sense…” Fan Jian agreed. It would be even worse if they carved the wrong words, so it would be better to leave the tombstone empty.

Lu Yize wanted to find out what was going on with Jiang Yue, so he kept putting pressure on her.

Jiang Yue was already baring her teeth in a defensive stance due to the pressure exerted by Lu Yize. If the pressure continued, Sheng Xue was worried that Jiang Yue would be punished.

To distract Lu Yize from Jiang Yue's pressure, Sheng Xue asked, "Brother Lu, I saw three numbers on that woman's lower back: 016. Is it related to the child?"

Lu Yize's expression didn't change much when he heard those three numbers.

“It’s not this woman’s number.” Lu Yize coldly recalled the monster born from that woman. “It’s the monster’s code name.”

When they entered that laboratory earlier, they had seen several deformed, dead embryos, which were labeled with numbers from 1 to 15.

Those dead embryos, which initially resembled the rudiments of humans, gradually became distorted after the experiment failed. One of their teeth took over the entire brain, and instead of being driven away, they had mutated zombie limbs, their entire bodies being crumpled into a ball.

Xian Wenrui and Sheng Xue looked solemn. In the apocalypse, there are always some people who do crazy things that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"Have they... gone mad?" Fan Jian asked in bewilderment, probably not expecting that humanity would become like this after the apocalypse.

"Who knows?" Xian Wenrui sighed.

They took one last look at the blank tombstone, and Sheng Xue stepped forward and placed a flower on it—a flower that she had always kept hidden in her bosom, one that had never dried.

"gone."

Fan Jian waved to Sheng Xue from a short distance away, and Sheng Xue responded, pushing her wheelchair, "Coming."

May the lonely souls find a place of rest.

Because of this incident, everyone was in a bad mood after getting on the bus and just stared blankly.

In his previous life, Lu Yize had never heard of the existence of creatures that were half-human and half-zombie.

This means that the test subject, codenamed 016, likely did not live for very long in his previous life.

Presumably, what they had just witnessed was too cruel for them to forget easily, Fan Jian scratched his head in confusion.

"You guys said that little monster just now, it looked like a human and a zombie at the same time. Could it be that her mother was infected with the zombie virus when she was pregnant with her?"

Xian Wenrui disagreed with her statement, saying, "Maybe someone deliberately wanted to create a hybrid of humans and zombies, and conducted this experiment on purpose. Look at all those embryos in the basement."

"Holy crap, this is insane!" Fan Jian took a deep breath.

Sheng Xue thought of the adult bodies that had been soaking in bottles and jars before, "Some of them were probably pregnant women that the other side had specifically captured and infected with the zombie virus."

When social order collapses and legal protection is lost, vulnerable groups are the first to suffer.

"Is this person mentally unstable? How could they do such a thing?" Fan Jian couldn't understand the thinking behind such actions at all.

"Who knows."

Compared to their sighs, Lu Yize had long since become accustomed to it.

We are still in the early stages of the apocalypse, and everyone still hopes that humanity will restore civilization and is trying to suppress the evil in their hearts.

However, as the apocalypse progressed, humans began killing each other, and these horrific experiments became increasingly common.

In the apocalypse, mutated plants and animals, as well as mutated zombies, are not as terrifying as humans who have broken free of their shackles.

They came out this time to collect zombie crystal cores. Lu Yize looked at the weather outside the window. They needed to bring back as many zombie crystal cores as possible because…

In his memory, extreme weather would soon occur, and they would probably be unable to go out for a long time.

They can also stockpile some supplies.

When they returned to the mall, they saw a scene of utter chaos in the commercial area.

The mall had been completely emptied of supplies, leaving only a few hundred zombies roaming the premises.

"So many zombies..." Fan Jian shuddered.

Lu Yize noticed that when Jiang Yue saw these zombies, there was a hint of excitement in her eyes. It wasn't the joy of seeing food, but rather a sense of empathy for seeing one of her own kind.

Lu Yize, who had originally planned to bring Jiang Yue into the mall, frowned and said, "Fatty, you guys stay in the car and keep an eye on Jiang Yue."

Sheng Xue, who has difficulty walking, Fan Jian, who is a good-for-nothing, and Xian Wenrui, who can only be used as a faucet, are all of little use.

Rather than holding them back, Lu Yize should go and retrieve the supplies that are due.

This is why Lu Yize is gradually trusting Jiang Yue and has relatively suppressed his morbid obsession.

In addition, his mental strength has increased, so even if he is some distance away, he can still sense Jiang Yue's condition.

Otherwise, how could he possibly let Jiang Yue out of his sight?

Jiang Yue watched Lu Yize leave with a puzzled look, and then felt she should follow him, but Lu Yize left her in the car.

Jiang Yue could only lie on the passenger seat, clawing at the window, completely bewildered as to why Lu Yize had left her, a corpse, there.

The reason Lu Yize didn't bring Jiang Yue along was because he vaguely sensed an aura.

However, that aura was well concealed, and even with his expanded mental power, he still couldn't pinpoint the opponent's exact location.

This aura gave Lu Yize a sense of equal threat, making him uneasy about Jiang Yue following along.
