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

Zhang Wenjing is a crazy woman; she doesn't care at all whether she has long hair, short hair, or is bald.

She calmly greeted everyone, "You've all come out. What, you want to experience the raw heat too?"

She still speaks so rudely, as if she doesn't care at all about the suffering she endured before.

However, it was clear that her body was much more honest than she was; even with her superpowers acting as a barrier, she still developed heat rash all over her body.

Lu Yize didn't speak, and the others didn't say anything either.

Jiang Yue was the only one who didn't want to leave the base. The high temperature outside was too painful for her, and her bluish skin instantly turned dark.

The burning sensation caused her pain, and the zombie became extremely agitated and aggressive.

Zombies don't sweat, so they can't perspire. The heat inside their bodies forms a ball of fire that surges wildly within them.

Zhang Wenjing, seeing Lu Yize standing ruthlessly to the side, kindly gave Jiang Yue a demonstration.

He used his supernatural abilities to tell Jiang Yue how to use his mental powers to wrap his body in order to isolate himself from the heat source.

As both possessing mental abilities, Jiang Yue was more sensitive to the abilities used by Zhang Wenjing.

Driven by her will to survive in the face of extreme weather, and with Zhang Wenjing's repeated demonstrations and guidance, Jiang Yue finally managed to learn how to use her supernatural ability to insulate herself from the heat.

Although the effect was far less than staying in Lu Yize's special ability space, it was definitely more comfortable than not having it at all, so Jiang Yue was forced to enhance her special ability.

The suffocating heat in her chest cavity subsided, and Jiang Yue was finally no longer irritable.

Zhang Wenjing, having proven her usefulness, smiled and said to Lu Yize, "This little zombie is about to advance, right? Do you need more crystal cores?"

Although Zhang Wenjing's level is not high, her understanding of superpowers and zombies is indeed much greater than that of ordinary people.

Hearing her say that, Lu Yize wasn't too surprised, but the three people beside him looked at Jiang Yue in shock.

"Upgrade? What happens after a zombie upgrades? Does it become smarter?" Fan Jian asked first, full of curiosity.

"They'll probably become more human-like. Look at my sister-in-law, she's quite different from a regular zombie," Xian Wenrui guessed.

Zhang Wenjing kindly offered an answer: "In my guess, the higher the level of the zombie, the closer it should be to a human."

“I once encountered a zombie that not only made lower-level zombies submit, but also possessed human intelligence.”

Upon hearing her say that, Sheng Xue instantly recalled the chilling scene of being stared at by that zombie in the mall.

"Was the zombie you encountered accompanied by a skeleton?"

"Yes, with a skeleton, human intelligence, and the strength of a zombie, it's truly... terrifying."

Although Zhang Wenjing said that, her face still showed excitement.

She turned to look at Lu Yize, who had a calm expression, and smiled, "I'm very familiar with many places in the city, and I can help gather information, so can I come with you?"

Although Lu Yize wanted to deny it, the person in front of him was a factor in Jiang Yue's ability to use her special power.

I glanced at the extra mutated beast corpse next to the mutated dog; it had already begun to rot due to the high temperature.

It seems they've been holding off another wave of attacks for the base these past few days.

"Follow along."

Lu Yize wouldn't mind bringing along a useful person.

Zhang Wenjing flashed a flamboyant smile, pushing up her thick-rimmed glasses.

She planned to bring back her sister's remains on this trip, and she mentioned it in advance.

No one objected to her request, since that place was a necessary stop on the way.

Lu Yize and his group sat in the car, while Zhang Wenjing rode a mutated dog.

The scene was originally quite imposing, but because the mutant dog's fur was shaved into a dog-chewed style, resembling alopecia areata, its image was greatly diminished.

Lu Yize was driving very fast, but the speed of the mutated dog when it ran was obviously beyond what ordinary cars could match.

It was so fast that you could only see a blur, and you had to stop and wait every now and then.

Xian Wenrui and Fan Jian, who were in the car, were so excited that they wanted to crawl on the dog's tail.

"Damn, he's so handsome! Even with bald patches, he's still handsome. Why didn't I raise a dog back then? Maybe it would have mutated too! I could have hooked up with a rich guy!" Fan Jian lamented.

Xian Wenrui felt a little sour. "Actually, it's not that cool. It's just a bit flashy to ride, a bit faster, and a tiny bit stronger in attack power... Other than that, there's nothing special about it."

Lu Yize glanced at him; Xian Wenrui's words were far more powerful than his abilities.

No matter how envious and jealous the two people in the car were, they immediately fell silent and stopped joking when they arrived at the park where Zhang Qian was buried.

Zhang Wenjing had arrived at that place, but at this moment, she stood there, her face deathly pale, where Zhang Qian's ashes should have been buried.

She saw from Sheng Xue's memory that they buried Zhang Qian's ashes here.

But now, all the soil here has been turned over, and the box that should have contained Zhang Qian's ashes is scattered to the side.

There were still a few scattered ashes in the box, but most of the ashes had disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Wenjing's hands trembled as she gripped the box containing the ashes. Overwhelmed with emotion, she used her supernatural abilities.

In an instant, scenes from a few days ago flashed through everyone's minds.

The day after Lu Yize and his group left, a group of people dressed in black, covering themselves from head to toe, came and took away the monster that Zhang Qian had given birth to.

The reason they searched Zhang Qian's remains was simply to find the crystal core that Zhang Qian had extracted.

Zhang Qian held the crystal core tightly in her hand until her death, so Lu Yize and the others did not take it with them.

Unexpectedly, those people overturned the entire ground in order to get the crystal core and took it away.

Zhang Qian's ashes were carelessly tossed aside and scattered into the air.

Hatred consumed Zhang Wenjing's reason, and her bloodshot eyes were filled with inexplicable resentment.

One day, she will find those people, and even if it costs her life, she will make them pay with their lives!

Under the influence of her supernatural power, the group saw what had happened. Sheng Xue pushed the wheelchair forward and gently patted her shoulder, saying, "Please accept my condolences."

The box contained only a few remaining ashes. After a long silence, Zhang Wenjing stood up, holding the box, her eyes lifeless.

She stood up and calmly said to Lu Yize and the others, "Let's go, we still have a long way to go, don't delay."

The overwhelming hatred was impossible to conceal, and everyone could clearly sense it. But looking at the quiet person at this moment, everyone had a clear understanding of Zhang Wenjing's ruthlessness for the first time.

Lu Yize looked directly at Zhang Wenjing. More than her pain, he was concerned about those people whose faces were tightly covered by black clothes who had just appeared on the screen.

In the fifteen years of the apocalypse in his previous life, he had never heard of such an arrogant organization.

Where did these people come from?
