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

Xian Wenrui wasn't idle either; he learned a lot of information from Zi Mao.

"According to Purple Hair, Donggu Base has been in contact with central bases in various places from the very beginning, in order to pool resources."

"The top leader of the central base was the first to respond and join the Donggu base. However, after receiving supplies from the Donggu base, the second-in-command intercepted the supplies, gradually encroached on the base, and declared himself king."

Zhang Wenjing was not surprised by this. "Yes, this is the first time Donggu Base has suffered a loss. After that, they became more cautious. Many other bases also have this idea."

"Even in the apocalypse, there will always be people who will not let go of the opportunity to seize profits. Currently, various forces are divided and there is chaos."

Lu Yize picked up the empty Tier 2 zombie crystal cores from the bed. "Did that squinty-eyed guy give you these two crystal cores?"

As the one who delivered them, Xian Wenrui naturally recognized the two zombie crystal cores. "Yes, he gave them to me. He said I could use them, and I accepted them because the situation was urgent."

Although the crystal core in front of us had lost its power fluctuations and was dim and lifeless, it was still a second-tier crystal core, and it did not turn into powder like the other crystal cores.

Seeing this extravagant display, Zhang Wenjing snorted coldly, "As expected of a major base, they can casually produce two second-tier zombie crystal cores and two superpower cores."

When she mentioned the superpower core, she couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes.

"How strong are they?"

Lu Yize put away the two crystal cores in his hand and asked.

“Besides Chen Mingzhang, who is at the third level of superpowers and has only recently advanced, his abilities are not yet stable; as for the three people following him, they are all at the second level.”

"Besides that, there are about eight first-level ability users, and the rest are ordinary people with relatively good strength."

Zhang Wenjing had been following the situation closely since she was on the battlefield, so answering the question now wasn't difficult for her.

Upon hearing this, Xian Wenrui looked astonished. "Holy crap, how come their abilities have improved so quickly?"

Zhang Wenjing rolled her eyes at him. "The large base is safe, and the resources are concentrated there. They will also give priority to giving crystal cores to people with superpowers for evolution. Chen Mingzhang is probably a seedling that the Donggu base is focusing on cultivating."

Xian Wenrui recalled the fight with the zombie king and felt a surge of anger.

"So the Zombie King can absorb zombie crystal cores and also eat human power cores; the people at the Donggu Base have the entire base providing crystal cores, while we are just randomly scavenging in the apocalypse."

Zhang Wenjing sometimes thought Xian Wenrui was quite smart, but other times she felt he was just so-so.

"I won't talk about the Zombie King, but do you think those people at the Donggu Base got those crystal cores for nothing? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"That's true. If you've taken over the supplies for the entire base, you naturally have to be responsible for the entire base."

As Xian Wenrui was speaking, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, a rare moment of brilliance.

He turned to look at Lu Yize, gasping, "So?! That squinty-eyed guy gave Brother Lu two high-level zombie crystal cores and two superpower cores because he wanted Brother Lu to work for them?!"

"Otherwise, do you think they're that kind? Do you think third-tier ability users are as common as cabbages? Even in the Eastern Ancient Base, the number of third-tier ability users is very small."

Xian Wenrui turned to look at Lu Yize, who was silent, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Brother Lu, whatever you plan to do, I'll listen to you."

Lu Yize instantly crushed the two dull power cores in his hand, his eyes filled with venom.

He said succinctly, "Pay back what is owed and get back what is owed!"

Lu Yize didn't believe the other party was being so kind as to throw him along with a zombie that was about to advance, and even offer two energy-rich crystal cores as a temptation.

When he woke up, he discovered that there was another layer of supernatural power in the room he shared with Jiang Yue, which specifically isolated the sounds inside.

Even if it was just a test to see if Jiang Yue, this zombie, would harm people under extreme conditions, they went too far!

Moreover, yesterday he was confronting the Zombie King, and the timing of this group's appearance was so coincidental, appearing just when he was exhausted from fighting the Zombie King.

It was obviously planned from the beginning.

After hearing Zhang Wenjing describe the other person's superpower, Lu Yize became even more certain of the matter.

Upon hearing this, Xian Wenrui immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Alright! Brother Lu, I'll follow you! What do we do?"

Zhang Wenjing glanced at Jiang Yue, who was still unconscious. From the perspective of strength or other factors, it was clear that it would be more advantageous for their side if Jiang Yue woke up.

"What do you mean, 'how can you say anything'? Jiang Yue hasn't even woken up yet."

Of course, she said this not entirely for Jiang Yue's sake. She and Xiao Bai also needed to rest for a while due to their injuries. She was only speaking up now to make her stance clear.

As darkness fell, the group discussed their options and decided to separate temporarily to rest, replenish their energy, and make some adjustments.

Xian Wenrui brought a small medical kit for bandaging, which Zi Mao had given them to them privately.

Lu Yize took the medicine and applied it to Jiang Yue's wounds. Xian Wenrui sighed softly, thinking of Sheng Xue who had been captured.

Having a rough idea of ​​what he was thinking, Lu Yize said without turning his head, "Why are you sighing? Just bring Sheng Xue back later."

"Brother Lu!"

The listless Xian Wenrui raised his head and looked at Lu Yize, who always seemed to lack a conscience, with disbelief.

Lu Yize didn't say much, but Xian Wenrui already understood.

If Brother Lu says he'll bring it back, then he definitely will!

Previously, he felt a sense of shared sorrow for the fates of Sheng Xue and Fan Jian.

Now that he had heard Lu Yize's words, the shadow of one dead and one captured that had been lingering in his heart dissipated slightly.

Speaking of Sheng Xue, Lu Yize casually asked, "Has Fan Jian's body been brought back?"

Xian Wenrui was happy for a short while, but upon hearing this, he said sadly, "I brought it back. The head and body have been sewn back together. It's currently in a sleeping bag. I plan to bury it after I take it back to the base."

"Ah."

During Lu Yize's previous advancement phase, his mind was in a state of confusion.

Now that I've calmed down, I remember that Fan Jian was infected with the zombie virus. He probably won't die, and he'll most likely awaken his superpowers.

Since he wasn't buried in a mass grave, he didn't think much of it.

Seeing Lu Yize's still indifferent appearance, Xian Wenrui muttered to himself that his brother Lu must be someone who hides his grief deep inside.

Xian Wenrui sighed, deciding not to stay and disturb them any longer, and went back to his room to properly recover his supernatural abilities.

After returning to his room, Xian Wenrui had just lay down on the bed and closed his eyes when he suddenly heard strange noises coming from the cabinet in the corner where Fan Jian's body was located.

The darkness amplified one's senses, and Xian Wenrui's eyes widened instantly, a series of "Holy crap" flashing through his mind in shock.

He had nowhere to put it, and since Fan Jian was his brother, he decided to share a room with him.

He wasn't afraid of his dead brothers, but he couldn't accept brothers who were half-dead!

You can be a zombie, you can be dead, but you can't be a ghost!

Perhaps to confirm his suspicions, a grating, chainsaw-like sound suddenly came from inside the cabinet, screaming his name, "Xian, Wen, Rui—"

Xian Wenrui's adrenaline surged instantly.

This is nothing short of a ghost story in the middle of the night!
