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

Chapter 194: Whether human, ghost, or zombie, they all stayed with him.

Morse had dealt with Chen Mingzhang before and knew his character. He was no match for psychic ability users when it came to scientific research. Unfortunately, their base did not currently have any awakened psychic ability users.

Morse didn't dwell on it too much. "Sure, but our base will also send a few people to participate. They're all highly knowledgeable and won't cause any trouble."

"Okay." Chen Mingzhang turned to look at Zheng Mu, who nodded and went to arrange the handover.

Jiang Yue severed the sharing of Morse's memories and returned to Lu Yize's side. It is estimated that she consumed too much mental energy at once, and now Jiang Yue's IQ has dropped sharply.

Her initial restraint vanished instantly. Jiang Yue grasped Lu Yize's wrist, her fingers intertwining with his, their hands tightly clasped.

Morse noticed how clingy the zombie was and took a few glances because he felt something was off. He was observant, but unfortunately, he was too narrow-minded to think clearly. He sensed something was wrong but didn't fully grasp it.

"You should keep your distance from your puppet. She is a high-level zombie with intelligence, and she might attack you one day."

Jiang Yue, who had been looking down and playing with Lu Yize's hand, suddenly looked up and said, "It's not a puppet."

Morse was startled. The zombie in front of him hadn't spoken before, which was why he had mistaken it for a puppet. But now that it was speaking, Morse's expression changed instantly.

If it's not a puppet, then it's an uncontrollable high-level zombie, or even a high-level mental zombie.

Morse suddenly realized how impulsive his decision had been, handing over his brain to a highly mobile, high-level mental zombie.

"What's happening here."

Seeing that he was on edge and ready to attack at any moment, Lu Yize stepped in front of Jiang Yue and said, "She's not a puppet, she's my wife."

Morse's mind went blank for a few seconds. Then, he imagined countless love and hate stories in his mind. His gaze towards Lu Yize changed several times. He was shocked that Lu Yize was such a devoted lover, and then he was also shocked that Lu Yize could eat his brother, a zombie.

Jiang Yue probably used up all her remaining brain cells to process the word "wife," and felt a little elated. Her whole body was sticky and clinging to Lu Yize, her eyes glued to him, impossible to tear off.

Morse watched as the zombie's gaze never left Lu Yize, and a strange feeling arose within him: "Damn, I also want someone like that who only has eyes for me." If he couldn't have one, a beautiful, high-level zombie would be fine too.

Morse hadn't expected to be suddenly subjected to such a display of affection. After he left in a daze, Lu Yize glanced at Chen Mingzhang.

Chen Mingzhang was a smart man. Realizing that he wanted to talk to him alone, he turned to Zheng Lin and said, "Xiao Lin, go with Morse to find Zhang Wenjing. The lab... we'll probably need her help."

Hearing this, Zheng Lin felt a pang of sadness, but knowing that now was not the time to act on emotion, he suppressed his anger and continued working.

After he left, Chen Mingzhang pinched the bridge of his nose. He had been blaming himself more than once for his misjudgment, and he also felt the need to deal with the problems that followed.

"I'm sorry for this mistake."

Chen Mingzhang spoke wearily, as the person in charge of the base, he could not escape blame for such a huge blunder that caused so many people to lose their lives.

“I’m not here to hold anyone accountable. The only people who can be held responsible for Xian Wenrui’s death are him and his relatives.”

After Lu Yize finished speaking, he activated the spatial energy barrier to ensure that they were isolated from the outside world. "When Xian Wenrui left, I put a bag of crystal cores in his backpack and also a location tracker."

Lu Yize spoke without changing his expression, but Chen Mingzhang looked at him as if he were a... pervert.

In reality, Lu Yize wouldn't be so heartless as to put a locator in Xian Wenrui's bag or anything like that. He just left a little bit of his mental energy on Xian Wenrui and the others.

This spiritual power can tell whether they are still alive. If their lives are in danger, it can even withstand a few blows. However, it is clear that the situation at that time was not so dire as to take Xian Wenrui's life.

Although Chen Mingzhang was slightly puzzled by Lu Yize's act of placing the locator, he quickly composed himself and asked, "Is the locator still working properly?"

"Yes, it still works normally, and..."

Jiang Yue suddenly realized she couldn't hear their voices anymore, but she didn't care. However, she noticed that Chen Mingzhang's expression changed drastically, showing shock, fear, and anger.

When Jiang Yue's world returned to sound, Lu Yize and Chen Mingzhang had finished their conversation. However, Chen Mingzhang looked unwell, as he rarely lost his composure like this.

Lu Yize retracted the spatial barrier, giving Chen Mingzhang some time to process the situation.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door. Zheng Mu had finished dealing with the coordination between Bei Sha and Zhang Wenjing. When she entered the room, she immediately noticed that Chen Mingzhang looked unwell. She was worried and her brows furrowed slightly.

However, she did not forget the purpose of her visit. "The people from Xiyue have arrived. Their injuries are similar to those of Donggu. Several of their fourth-tier members are seriously injured and will probably need some time to recover before they can set off."

Chen Mingzhang had initially thought they should speed up their recovery, but now he pursed his lips in thought. He turned to Lu Yize and asked, "How many people can your healing ability users treat at once?"

Lu Yize poured cold water on him, "Her ability level is not high, and it is difficult for her to advance in healing. Crossing levels to heal is extremely energy-consuming for her. Take that fire-type ability user as an example. With his injuries, Sheng Xue would probably need at least three days to heal."

There's no rush. It seems these attacks weren't just a whim or mere intimidation.

Zheng Mu sensed the tense atmosphere in the room, and the series of events that had occurred made her worried.

Chen Mingzhang looked troubled. After thinking it over again, he took a deep breath and said, "I will discuss it with Morse and the others and try to take action within seven days."

"it is good."

After Lu Yize finished speaking, he led Jiang Yue back. Just as they left the office, Lu Yize stopped.

He gazed in the direction where the spiritual energy had receded. From the moment Zheng Mu entered, a spiritual energy had been spying on his conversation with Chen Mingzhang the entire time.

The opponent's mental strength was slightly weaker than Lu Yize's. After Lu Yize discovered the existence of that mental strength, he immediately concealed his own mental strength. Those words were deliberately spoken to the opponent.

Lu Yize looked unwell, and Jiang Yue couldn't understand his gloomy mood. Jiang Yue's world was simple, and her thoughts were even simpler.

She would accompany Lu Yize in whatever he wanted to do, and she would try her best to cheer him up when he was in a bad mood. Even if it meant death, as long as they died together, Jiang Yue didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Whether she was a human, a ghost, or a zombie, she stayed by Lu Yize's side, doing everything he wanted to do.
