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

Jiang Yue held Lu Yize's hand and played with it while looking down, completely ignoring Xian Wenrui's accusations.

Seeing that Jiang Yue didn't pull his hand away, Lu Yize let her be.

"Fatty, calculate the number of crystal cores you gave me. If you want crystal cores or supplies later, I'll pay you back double," Lu Yize said to Xian Wenrui.

He wasn't ungrateful for the other party's willingness to give him the crystal core without hesitation in an emergency.

"No need. I don't actually have many crystal cores. Besides, I'm still staying at your place, so there's no need to return them to me. I'll feel better if I can help out."

Xian Wenrui spoke sincerely, but upon seeing Zhang Wenjing beside him, he suddenly remembered something.

"Brother Lu, Zhang Wenjing gave you sixteen or seventeen crystal cores. Just return them to her."

He was afraid that if he said that, the girl would be too embarrassed to ask for it, and then he would be being generous with other people's money!

“I don’t care about those dozen or so crystal cores.” Zhang Wenjing looked at Lu Yize, adjusting her glasses with one hand, and changed the subject, “But I want to know what you plan to do next.”

"Should we stay here, or go back to your base?"

Lu Yize glanced at her, knowing she was waiting for his answer. He didn't choose anything, but instead turned his gaze to Fan Jian.

Fan Jian, who had known Lu Yize since high school, understood instantly.

Fan Jian stood up, speaking with righteous indignation and slamming his fist on the table, "What's the point of staying here! Of course, we should rescue Sheng Xue first, and then go back to the base together!"

After hearing this, Zhang Wenjing immediately smiled and said, "Then I don't want those dozen or so crystal cores anymore. I just want to exchange them for a chance to enter the base."

Lu Yize neither agreed nor refused. He grabbed Jiang Yue's increasingly audacious hand and said coldly, "We'll talk about it later."

Zhang Wenjing wasn't discouraged by not getting an answer, but the mutant dog Xiaobai next to her, with its big black eyes, let out a pitiful howl.

Fan Jian thought the bald mutant dog was quite cute, and another day he wanted to raise a bald mutant dog.

After everyone had absorbed the remaining crystal cores and recovered from their wounds, Lu Yize glanced around and used his mental power to sense the movement not far away.

Lu Yize's lips curled into a sneer, "Jiang Yue, open the door, the guest has arrived."

Although Jiang Yue couldn't figure out what Lu Yize was thinking, she was now more perceptive of his emotions.

I can tell whether he's just saying it casually or he's serious.

For example, right now, she could clearly sense that Lu Yize's tone was serious, and it also subtly revealed a ruthless edge.

Jiang Yue obediently got up and stood at the door, but did not make any move.

Just as Xian Wenrui thought she didn't know how to open the door, he got up to smooth things over, saying, "Opening the door is such a small thing, you could have just called me, no need..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door shook violently, and with the sound of the wooden door shattering, several thick vines, like ferocious beasts unleashed from their cages, swiftly invaded the interior.

"Fuck..."

Halfway up, Xian Wenrui was so frightened by the scene before him that he immediately raised a water shield to block it, and the superpowers of the others began to surge.

Ignoring his protection, Jiang Yue moved swiftly and precisely locked onto one of the most aggressive vines.

She formed her fingers into claws, firmly gripped the vine, exerted force from her waist and abdomen, and used the momentum of her entire body to pull it back sharply, forcing the previously unstoppable vine to a halt.

The stalemate lasted no more than three seconds before the vines outside the door gathered strength again, launching an even more ferocious attack from all angles, like a pack of hungry beasts determined to tear through any defense.

The others were about to help Jiang Yue, but were stopped by Lu Yize.

Lu Yize stared calmly at the door, completely ignoring the few inconspicuous vines.

Seeing that Jiang Yue was at a disadvantage, Lu Yize spoke up, "Jiang Yue, use your superpower."

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Yue remembered that she should have special abilities. Before she could react, she was instantly engulfed in vines.

Lu Yize's face was gloomy, and he still did not let anyone else make a move.

The next moment, a crisp snapping sound rang out, and the rampant vines shattered in a flash.

Because the vines were destroyed, the person hiding inside them revealed a slightly surprised expression.

Jiang Yue met his gaze, and the instant her mind captured the target, she unleashed her mental attack without hesitation.

The domineering superpower swept through like a storm, instantly throwing the opponent into chaos. The information in their mind was so overwhelming that it felt like it was about to explode, and the mental pain far outweighed the physical trauma.

As he collapsed and howled, Jiang Yue's five fingers, like hooks, leaped into the air and, using her momentum, fiercely pounced on the location of his superpower core.

But the next moment, Jiang Yue was enveloped by a familiar power, and then in an instant, she was pulled back by Lu Yize.

Before Jiang Yue could even stand firmly, she sensed two powerful surges of energy surging within the room, creating a fierce clash between them.

Space seemed to be distorted by the clash of these two powerful forces, and every molecule in the air trembled.

Those present instantly formed a barrier using their superpowers. Fan Jian, who had only recently awakened his superpower, was not used to using it and was hit so hard that he screamed in pain.

"Holy crap, holy crap, can someone tell me how to use superpowers?!"

Everyone present was focused on the doorway and had no time to pay attention to Fan Jian.

Only Xiao Bai, whose ears were hurt from the noise, became irritable and put Fan Jian in her mouth, using her supernatural power to cover him and block the damage.

Fan Jian turned around, his eyes brimming with tears of emotion, and said, "Brother Gou, from now on you're my Brother Gou, my real brother!"

The little white dog was disgusted, which almost made the dog speak human language to refuse.

Lu Yize and his opponent clearly had no intention of destroying the base. They both restrained their supernatural attacks and were merely testing each other before quickly withdrawing them.

The atmosphere was tense, and the scene was one of devastation.

Lu Yize looked at the door that had been broken open and spoke coldly from behind the dormant plants outside, "Come out."

All eyes turned to Lu Yize's gaze.

The person who was discovered showed no embarrassment at being exposed. He calmly lifted the green leaves of the plant and said with a composed smile, "I was just being impulsive, please forgive me."

The plant-type ability user, whose mind had been invaded by Jiang Yue, crawled out of the pile of plants clutching his head, his headache so severe it turned the world upside down.

He glared fiercely at Lu Yize and roared, "You hurt my sister, I will never let you get away with this!"

Fan Jian, a rich second-generation, may not be good at anything else, but he's a master at arguing and talking back. Even though he was still hurt from the argument, he rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on his hips, and started arguing back.

"A kid? This is the kid you're talking about? He's taller than me, he must be at least 1.8 meters tall. Whose kid is so big?"

"Who else hurt your sister? We didn't go out all night, don't try to frame someone for nothing!"

The plant-based ability user was so angry that he was about to attack again, but was stopped by the squinty-eyed man, "Zheng Lin."

Zheng Lin, who was called by his full name, immediately fell silent, though he still looked somewhat resentful.

The man with narrowed eyes ignored him and instead turned to explain with a smile, "Xiao Lin is young, he was still a primary school student before the apocalypse. He acted impulsively, and I will take responsibility for the losses he caused you."
