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

"Let's go," Lu Yize said to Xian Wenrui and the others.

Before coming to discuss things with Chen Mingzhang, Lu Yize had asked Xian Wenrui and the others to pack up what they needed to take with them, as he had no intention of staying here any longer.

Hearing that he was leaving, Zheng Lin was a little surprised and asked bluntly, "Where are you going? It's so hot outside, it's safer to stay in the base."

Upon hearing this, Fan Jian turned around and said with feigned regret, "My brother Lu has always been kind-hearted and can't stand seeing people suffer."

"We've noticed that you've taken in quite a few people these past few days, which has led to a huge consumption of supplies. We can't really help you much, so we're planning to give up our space to them."

"Although our base is less impressive than yours, we've gotten used to living here, so we won't bother you any longer."

When Xian Wenrui heard Fan Jian's words, he suppressed a laugh. He wondered who was it that always complained that this place was too small and too hot, and kept saying that they wanted to go back.

But Zheng Lin was young and easily fooled, and believed it. He immediately looked ashamed, shocked, and moved, saying, "You guys...you're really nice people!"

I thought he had seen through Fan Jian's nonsense, but after a long while, he managed to squeeze out this sentence with teary eyes.

Moved by their righteousness, Zheng Lin pounded his chest with his fist and spoke with a righteous indignation.

"You can stay here. If it's really too much, I can give you my room. I can sleep in the tree."

He is a plant-based ability user; returning to the tree is like a bird returning to its nest.

The moment Fan Jian met his clear, foolish eyes, he choked. Indeed, sincerity was the most effective weapon.

Fan Jian sighed and said honestly, "Thanks, little brother, but we're still planning to go back. Otherwise, Jiang Yue will feel uncomfortable here, and the people in the base will be afraid too."

Zheng Lin looked at Jiang Yue, hesitating to speak.

He couldn't understand why he had to live with a zombie, but he could see how much Lu Yize valued Jiang Yue, so he shut up and said no more.

Of course, Lu Yize and the others chose to go back not only because of Jiang Yue, but more importantly, because the central base was nowhere near as comfortable as their place!

Lu Yize understood Fan Jian; although he was a bit of a chatterbox, he wouldn't reveal anything he shouldn't.

He, a rich second-generation who has been easily manipulated since childhood, understands the principle of not flaunting wealth all too well.

So even though Fan Jian said a lot, he didn't reveal any details about the situation inside the base.

Since the two groups had fought side by side, Chen Mingzhang and the others even escorted them to the outside of the base.

Lu Yize's car was parked at the entrance, and Zi Mao came out from beside the car with a tattered cloth in his hand.

"Brother Lu, your car is quite durable, but it's a bit hot now, so please pay attention to your speed and tire pressure when you drive it."

"Okay, thanks."

Lu Yize was relieved that the car wasn't stolen, because it had been modified to generate solar power, so he didn't have to search the world for fuel.

Lu Yize looked at the purple-haired man. Having known him for so many years, he understood him quite well. In addition, considering what had happened in their past lives, he asked, "Do you want to come with us?"

Lei Yangyu gripped the tattered cloth in his hand tightly. Of course he wanted to; who wouldn't want to be with familiar people?

After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and refused, "No, Brother Lu, I have things to do here."

Everyone has their own choices, so Lu Yize didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, you can come to me if you really need help."

Lei Yangyu looked up and saw Lu Yize with a cold face, saying these words arrogantly, just as annoying as he was in high school.

He suddenly laughed and reached out to pat Lu Yize on the shoulder, "Brother Lu... you really haven't changed at all."

Lu Yize thought there was something wrong with his eyes. He had lived through fifteen years of the apocalypse in his previous life, which had warped his personality. How could he not have changed at all?

As they got into the car and were about to leave, Chen Mingzhang called out to them, "Wait."

Fan Jian poked his head out of the car. "What? You're not trying to persuade us to stay, are you?"

Chen Mingzhang took a black box from his subordinate, handed it to Lu Yize, pointed at Jiang Yue with his chin, and said seriously, "This is for her. You'll probably need it in the future."

After a few seconds of standoff, Lu Yize took the box. He ran his fingers over the surface of the box and felt a strange weight.

Jiang Yue understood what he had just said, and reached out to take it and open it, but Chen Mingzhang stopped her, saying, "Go back and look at it. It's not good to expose it."

Since he said so, Lu Yize didn't let Jiang Yue open it.

Jiang Yue maintained a strange enthusiasm for the black box throughout, holding it and sniffing it for a long time.

After accepting the gifts, Lu Yize didn't linger any longer, waved to the window, and said, "I'm leaving."

As Lu Yize finished speaking, the vehicle started, and the tires gently rubbed against the ground, making a sound.

The once peaceful ground was stirred up by the wind from the wheels, and yellow sand flew everywhere.

Zheng Lin, who had inhaled a lot of car exhaust fumes, brushed the sand off his face and asked curiously, "Brother Mingzhang, what did you give them? It was even packaged in a black and gold box. Isn't that box very expensive?"

Chen Mingzhang smiled and walked into the base with his hands behind his back, saying, "Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters."

"Hey, who are you calling a child..."

Jiang Yue had no idea that the box was expensive; she just felt that it had a scent that she really liked.

Lu Yize knew why she was acting this way. This box was specially used to store treasures in the apocalypse. It was impervious to high temperatures, low temperatures, and was invulnerable to swords and spears.

The reason for this is that the box is a product of supernatural power, and its surface is covered with a strong supernatural power.

To put it bluntly, the reason Jiang Yue liked it was because the box suited her taste; she wanted to eat it to replenish her supernatural abilities.

But the people in the back seat didn't know any of this. Seeing how much Jiang Yue loved the black box, they became even more certain that it contained something good.

Fan Jian, whose curiosity was at its peak, scratched his head and asked curiously, "Brother Lu, what exactly is in here?"

Xian Wenrui was furious at Fan Jian's lack of assertiveness. No matter how Fan Jian asked questions, he couldn't get to the point. "Brother Lu didn't see it either, how would he know what's inside? Are you stupid?!"

"Oh right, I forgot." Fan Jian slapped his forehead.

Zhang Wenjing, riding her little white bike, also spoke up, "I couldn't detect what was inside even with my mental detection; I was blocked."

"This box is so amazing? Even psychic ability users can't detect what's inside?" Fan Jian's gaze towards the box immediately changed.

This is much more useful than the safe they used to buy for millions. If they had had a box like this before, would they have had any worries about where to hide their pornographic books?!

"It's really impressive." Zhang Wenjing looked at the box with great interest, her eyes sparkling with the urge to open it.

After guessing, Sheng Xue, the only one who seemed somewhat reliable, asked Lu Yize, "Brother Lu, could this contain the crystal cores that were allocated to us?"
