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

Lu Yize stood frozen in place, while the zombie, having run out of patience, angrily reached out to tear apart the thing blocking her from eating.

Worried that she might hurt herself, Lu Yize regained his composure, took her hand, and suppressed his earlier impulse.

He wasn't a pervert, nor was he that desperate. If it weren't for the ten-year emotional foundation he had built, he wouldn't have been in that moment of daze and confusion.

Lu Yize held her waist, widening the distance between them. After calming down, he looked at the energetic zombie with a complicated expression.

Zombies are energetic at night, so Lu Yize had to use his special ability to force this overly energetic zombie into hibernation.

The zombies were much less energetic during the day, and they made far fewer noises. Lu Yize fed her the raw meat he had prepared, and she ate quietly.

Lu Ze couldn't bear to leave her, a zombie, alone at home, so he specially created a space just for her in the room and placed her there.

Fortunately, zombies are not living beings and can enter his space. Lu Yize can sense her presence at any time. She can take whatever food and toys are prepared for her in the space. Lu Yize has controlled the amount so that she won't burst her stomach.

As he was going downstairs and entering the elevator, a slightly chubby, nerdy guy got in from the floor below him. The guy looked at Lu Yize's neck with an ambiguous gaze, raised an eyebrow in a lewd manner, and said enviously, "Dude, you and your girlfriend are really going at it."

Lu Yize's neck was bitten by Jiang Yue yesterday, and it bled more than once. Today it has healed and only the mark remains.

Lu Yize was a tall man of 1.86 meters, with a cold face and resolute muscles. The bite marks around his neck did seem out of place.

Lu Yize wasn't an enthusiastic person and originally didn't intend to pay attention, but after hearing the words "girlfriend" from him, he glanced at him, and it was just then that Lu Yize noticed something.

"Have a fever?"

Upon hearing this, the chubby guy immediately perked up, "Yeah, I've had a fever for three days straight, and I almost died alone in the house. I was feeling groggy yesterday when your noise woke me up, so I couldn't help but shout upstairs. Don't mind me, brother."

Lu Yize noticed that the chubby boy was putting more pressure on his right leg while standing, and casually asked, looking at his left leg, "Did you get bitten?"

The chubby boy's eyes widened, and he rolled up his trouser leg to reveal a leg with a huge teeth mark on it. "Holy crap?! Bro, you can tell fortunes? I was chased and bitten by a mad dog a few days ago, and you even knew that?"

Looking at the blackened wound on the chubby boy's leg, Lu Yize calmly looked away. "I guessed."

The chubby boy immediately started talking non-stop when he was shown concern, his talkative nature suddenly bursting out.

"Let me tell you, I'm really unlucky. I can't believe I've had this problem just by going out to throw out the trash. I'm starting to wonder if I have rabies. I've had a fever for so long."

"I originally planned to go to the hospital for a check-up that day, but I don't know if I was angry or scared, I just fainted. When I woke up, I couldn't find anyone, not even the dog. I was so angry! There was nowhere to seek justice."

"I forced myself to go home to get my ID card, but I ended up collapsing at home and not waking up for several days. I was only woken up yesterday by the noise you and your girlfriend were making. It gave me a fright, so I quickly made an appointment and went to the hospital today."

Lu Yize glanced at the little fat boy's condition. He was probably in the early stages of awakening his superpowers. There were no major problems, but his body was still in a weak period. It would probably take him another ten days to half a month for his body to adapt to his superpowers.

"I don't know if it's because I bought the wrong floor, but I bought the 18th floor. I was trying to save money, but I should have listened to my parents and chosen a lucky number."

The chubby boy kept muttering to himself, his chatter becoming increasingly annoying.

Fortunately, the elevator finally reached the bottom, saving Lu Yize's ears from further torment.

As the two stepped out of the elevator, the chubby guy noticed that Lu Yize hadn't driven and asked curiously, "Hey buddy, where are you going? I hailed a taxi; want a ride if it's on my way?"

"Thanks, but no need." Lu Yize didn't intend to get too involved with other people.

Little Fatty wasn't embarrassed at all by being rejected. He even jokingly teased, "Fine, I thought you were in a hurry to go to the mall to buy a ring and propose. I was thinking the mall was pretty close to the hospital..."

Lu Yize paused, and the chubby boy behind him looked surprised. "Damn! Did I guess right?! Is my mouth blessed?! What single guy would willingly eat dog food?!"

Rings are something that can't be eaten, drunk, or provide any superpowers. To Lu Yize, who has survived the apocalypse for fifteen years, there is nothing more useless than such an ornament.

If this is true for humans, then it's even more true for a zombie that knows nothing.

Half an hour later, Lu Yize stood in front of the display case, looking at the several pairs of wedding rings in front of him, and he felt like he was sick.

This small circle isn't even enough for the little zombies to devour one by one.

Lu Yize glanced at the zombies resting peacefully in the space before withdrawing his mental energy to look at the display case in front of him.

The saleswoman enthusiastically promoted the rings, making each pair seem exceptionally meaningful.

It's not fun to pick out wedding rings alone, so Lu Yize picked out a few pairs that caught his eye and planned to have his zombie family draw lots at home, and wear whichever one they drew.

The saleswoman was overjoyed to receive such a big order, and even though she didn't get any response, she kept showering everyone with compliments.

"Lu Yize?"

A voice that sounded unfamiliar came from behind him. Lu Yize turned around and saw two unfamiliar women standing not far away.

"Why did you come to buy a ring all by yourself? Did you regret it? Do you want to pursue Yingying again?" The other person stepped forward familiarly, but his eyes revealed undisguised contempt.

"Want us to give you some recommendations? We know Yingying's preferences better than anyone, so you won't be rejected too badly?" another girl said with a smile, giving the jewelry a critical look.

"Lu Yize, you only pick these cheap things? Didn't you just get some money from Uncle Cui? If you ask me, buying any ring is not as good as showing sincerity by returning that money to Uncle Cui. Maybe Yingying will consider marrying you."

"But I heard you used that money to buy a bunch of random stuff? What, are you planning to go back to the countryside to farm? Have you finally realized your place?"

After saying that, the two of them laughed together. Everyone knew that Cui Yingying had a fiancé from a poor rural family who was still clinging to her.

Uncle Cui took pity on him and sponsored his studies, and even helped him set up a company. Little did he know that he had raised an ungrateful child who ended up swindling the Cui family out of a sum of money.

I thought he was going to do something big, but it turned out he just bought some grain. People from small families are so ignorant and shameful.

Lu Yize recognized the two as Cui Yingying's friends; they were indeed just as stupid.

Lu Yize frowned in disgust, feeling it was bad luck.

Seeing that Lu Yize ignored her, one of them assumed he was guilty and immediately threw a tantrum, "Get your facts straight! You're the one proposing and need our help, so you'd better be nice to me!"

Divine gold.

Lu Yize turned to leave, only to find the two behind him still angrily trying to entangle him. He directly stunned them with a spatial blade, and the world instantly became much quieter.

If his current superpower level weren't so weak, Lu Yize wouldn't mind just letting them "get rid of him" completely.

The two people suddenly fainted, and the sales clerk was so frightened that she immediately called an ambulance, because it would be troublesome for her if something happened in the store.

However, she didn't have a good impression of the two women either. These two were notorious for looking down on ordinary people like them and insulting them from time to time. Now they might be getting their comeuppance and have fainted from anger!

Lu Yize didn't care about those two idiots at all. After setting up the infrastructure in the safe house, he released the zombies that had been locked up in the space for a day. He also built a bedroom for them in the safe house.

Probably bored from being locked up, the zombie flashed out with incredible speed, leaving an afterimage, and its black fingernails, now an inch longer, stabbed straight toward Lu Yize's heart.

Lu Yize grabbed the zombie's wrist, turned her around and twisted her back. The zombie turned her head to bite, but was stopped by the dental brace on her mouth.

Lu Yize seized the opportunity, raised his leg and swept it horizontally, knocking the zombie to the ground. He then promptly took out modified shackles from his spatial storage and bound her hands and feet.

The zombie strained to straighten the chains, but it lacked the strength to break the specially treated shackles.

After struggling to subdue the zombie, Lu Yize finally noticed that the black dress he had put on her earlier had been torn.

Half-hidden, her waist-length hair was loose, and there was some blood on her head, probably from eating in the space.

Lu Yize stepped forward, looked at the zombie with empty, dark eyes, bent down and grabbed her hand, his tone aggressive and unyielding, "You provoked me first, and you confessed your feelings first. Now choose a ring you like, and I'll put it on your finger."

He forcefully and irrationally categorized the words in that letter as a confession.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of ring boxes fell out of the space. The conspicuous red color and the sound of the boxes falling made the zombies instinctively attack, instantly piercing one of the boxes.

Lu Yize caught the two rings that had fallen out of the box steadily in his hand. He opened his hand, glanced at them, and smiled, "Good taste."

Lu Yize wore a simple silver band ring on the ring finger of his left hand, a rare hint of tenderness in his eyes.

He looked up at the zombie that was still growling but completely unaware, and felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had unwittingly snatched a silly wife.

Lu Yize held another ring, glanced at the little zombie's blood-stained claws, and thought, "Fine, I'll put it on her hand. Who knows, it might end up in someone's chest someday."

After all, the most common attack parts of zombies are their claws and teeth.

Lu Yize practically emptied the supermarket; the space contained everything. He took out a black rope necklace, put the choker on it, and went forward to put it on her.

Zombies don't care what they have gained or lost; a rope around their neck is nothing compared to a piece of meat that excites them.

However, before she could get the meat, Lu Yize picked her up. In a good mood, Lu Yize looked down at the zombie's tattered black suspender dress and laughed, "Taking advantage of your own wife doesn't count as being a hooligan."

The safe house is more convenient than home. No matter how loud the noise is here, it won't disturb others. Lu Yize picked up the zombie that was still trying to attack people and went into the bathroom to test the bathroom's effectiveness.
