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

Lu Yize's hatred for Dong Hong was not diminished in the slightest by his rebirth.

Not being able to find Dong Hong was truly one of his biggest regrets after his rebirth.

He still fondly remembers the feeling of personally pulling out Dong Hong's superpower core, and relishes the terror and despair on his face.

What those two zombies had just done stirred up memories he least wanted to recall.

They attempted to extract his power core and even used shadow-type abilities.

Everything they did landed squarely on Lu Yize's minefield.

Lu Yize's superpower was already at the peak of the second tier, making him stronger than the two zombies who were at the mid-second tier.

A powerful aura erupted from Lu Yize. Just as the shadow-type zombies were about to be compressed into mincemeat, the zombie girl who had been following the zombie king suddenly reached out her hand.

A thread extends from each of her hands, and the other end of the thread controls zombies that should have been unable to move long ago, as well as... the dead.

She can control ten people with a single thread, and this zombie finger controls hundreds of corpses, which seem to come back to life in her hands.

As she manipulated the corpse to attack Lu Yize, she found it amusing and kept letting out laughter that sounded like a ghostly howl.

Because of the sudden appearance of this zombie, coupled with the assistance of the phantom zombie, the shadow zombie found an opportunity to escape from Lu Yize's grasp.

However, rather than fighting side by side, these three zombies were clearly more interested in who could monopolize Lu Yize's superpower core.

They attacked continuously, and hundreds or even thousands of low-level zombies surrounded them.

Ordinary people inside the base tried to bring Sheng Xue and the wounded into the base.

Inside the base, both men and women, armed with knives, swords, and guns, formed a human wall, blocking the perimeter of the base.

Deep inside the base, there were only a few scattered children and unconscious wounded soldiers who had not participated in the battle.

Sheng Xue's relocation prompted the zombie king, who had remained inactive until now, to react.

He looked up and stared intently at the purple-haired man who had been healed by Sheng Xue. The man, who was on the verge of death, was now able to jump out and resist.

In his hazy memories, he recalled the scene of Sheng Xue treating Jiang Yue, and the zombie king looking down and touching the skull on his waist.

After a three-second pause, the Zombie King appeared on the outskirts of the base, standing behind Sheng Xue.

Lu Yize, who had been keeping a close eye on the zombie king's unusual movements, used spatial teleportation on the spot to block the zombie king's attack.

In the brief exchange, because he was of a lower level than his opponent, Lu Yize wiped the blood that had been knocked out of the corner of his mouth.

But he still had an excited smile on his face, "Copying abilities are indeed interesting."

Most people couldn't guess the type of superpower the Zombie King possessed, but Lu Yize, who had been reborn, knew that his superpower had caused trouble for many high-level superpowered individuals in his previous life.

He can copy all offensive superpowers, but he cannot copy healing superpowers.

Following closely behind Lu Yize were three zombies. The three zombies failed to stop Lu Yize, which greatly displeased the zombie king.

Sensing the king's intimidation, the three zombies, gripped by the fear of death, instantly unleashed powerful supernatural abilities and attacked Lu Yize.

Lu Yize had already reached the peak of advancement, but he had been unable to advance smoothly due to a lack of crystal cores, so he could only suppress it forcibly.

However, under the intense pressure of his supernatural abilities, cracks suddenly appeared in his already loosened power bottleneck.

Oops.

The reason he hasn't advanced is because advancing requires a large number of crystal cores, and he has a limited number of crystal cores.

At the same time, when advancing to a higher level, the superhuman will be in a relatively unconscious and weak period.

The zombie king seemed to sense his situation and "kindly" exerted a wave of supernatural power on him.

It was this wave of superpowers that completely forced Lu Yize to enter a state of superpower evolution at this moment.

The expanded supernatural power erupted instantly, and all the other second-tier zombies on the field, including the low-tier zombies, focused their attention on Lu Yize.

The zombies stared greedily at this highly nutritious food; if they ate it, they would no longer be controlled by the zombie king!

Instantly, all the zombies except the Zombie King rushed towards Lu Yize, including Jiang Yue.

In Jiang Yue's eyes, Lu Yize was food for her, a zombie, and she had no intention of sharing him with other zombies.

This sudden change gave humanity, who had been overwhelmed by zombies, a chance to catch their breath.

But they soon noticed that Lu Yize was in the process of advancing from the second to the third tier.

The older ability users next to the purple-haired man immediately made a decision, speaking to those around him, "Protect him as he advances! Protect the healing ability user into the base!"

Sheng Xue was carried on Fan Jian's back and they quickly evacuated.

But after Lu Yize was forced to upgrade his superpowers, no one could stop the zombie king.

Everyone present understood the importance of healing-type ability users. Whether they were ability users or ordinary people, everyone present was trying to buy time for Sheng Xue.

But faced with the approaching zombie king, more than ten people died in an instant, and the only survivor was probably Fan Jian, who was carrying Sheng Xue on his back.

Fan Jian and Sheng Xue were confined within the space, and Fan Jian felt an overwhelming pressure.

He could only hold on for three seconds before collapsing heavily to his knees, blood continuously oozing from his eyes, nostrils, and ear canals.

Saliva and thick blood dripped from Fan Jian's forced, open mouth as he gasped for breath.

He struggled to his feet, his face flushed, veins bulging on his neck and forehead, his bones creaking.

But with each step the zombie king took closer, the weight on Fan Jian's body increased by thousands of pounds. Fan Jian could not stand up, his jaw was stained red with blood, and he moved with Sheng Xue on his back.

Faced with those who died protecting her, faced with the ever-approaching zombie king, and Fan Jian on the verge of his limit.

Sheng Xue used her supernatural abilities to repair Fan Jian's broken meridians. Her eyes showed no fear, only a calm acceptance of death.

She said to Fan Jian, "Brother, don't worry about me."

"Bullshit!"

Blood streamed from Fan Jian's eyes, but he showed no intention of letting go.

He carried the person on his back, moving forward a few steps under the heavy weight, and he only hated that he was an ordinary person.

The zombie king approached step by step, and Fan Jian's bones trembled under the pressure of the supernatural power.

Fan Jian's struggle at this moment was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The zombie king didn't even need to lift a finger; Fan Jian was attacked and sent flying several meters away, vomiting blood gushing from his chest cavity.

Sheng Xue fell to the ground. Fan Jian couldn't hear the sounds around him, only the buzzing in his ears.

With all his bones broken, he was clearly in pain with the slightest movement, but Fan Jian didn't know where he got the strength from, and he staggered to the side, supporting his arm, to block the zombie king.

The zombie king, whose path was blocked, grabbed Fan Jian by the neck and slowly lifted him off the ground.

The zombie's fingernails dug into Fan Jian's carotid artery, and several bloody holes appeared on his neck in the blink of an eye.

Sheng Xue's eyes were bloodshot as she cried out in a fit of rage at the gaunt figure before her, "Fan Jian!"

Blood kept gushing from Fan Jian's mouth. In the next instant, Fan Jian vaguely seemed to hear Sheng Xue's heart-wrenching cries, and for a moment he realized what was happening.

The world spun around him, and in his vision, he saw his own body, head and body separated.

The zombie king looked down at the ant that had repeatedly tried to stop him but had no power to resist.

He couldn't understand many human behaviors, such as the other person's persistence in doing something they knew was impossible.

The Zombie King found Sheng Xue's blood-curdling hatred utterly uninteresting.

As expected, he couldn't understand humans.
