Chapter 318 Zombies? So what?
Jiang Yue had no idea what Lu Yize was thinking. She looked up at him, then silently touched her stomach. Since awakening her superpower, her sense of life had become even stronger.
If there is indeed a child inside, it is estimated that all superhumans will discover it immediately. For example, Jiang Yue discovered that there seemed to be a woman pregnant in the base. In this apocalypse, it is hard to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Jiang Yue was lost in thought, Lu Yize asked her a question. Jiang Yue looked down and met Lu Yize's eyes. She forgot everything she wanted to say and looked down at him, subconsciously leaning closer and acting coquettish.
Lu Yize was taken aback, not understanding why Jiang Yue was suddenly acting coquettishly, but he still reached out and touched the back of her neck, like petting a cat.
However, they didn't stay in the small house for long, because soon Lu Yize received a message from Chen Mingzhang. It was nothing more than that people from the three major bases had arrived.
When Lu Yize and Jiang Yue arrived at the base's conference room, Chen Mingzhang handed Lu Yize a message: "We suddenly received a message from Donggu saying that the major bases want to unite against the alien race and need to negotiate together."
Lu Yize glanced at the high-sounding words on the message, sneered, and closed it.
Morse looked displeased. "When Xie Hongyang went to Beisha before, he met my three wives."
"Ex-wife," Chen Ping, usually meticulous, kindly reminded her.
Morse glanced at Chen Ping speechlessly. This man always liked to nitpick over these trivial details. "Yes, my three ex-wives. He learned from my three ex-wives that their major bases knew about the Zerg's existence even earlier than we did."
"This was only exposed later. It seems to have caused quite a stir in the base at the time, and almost everyone in the base had to leave. But I don't know how they resolved it later."
Although Morse was a bit of a jerk in relationships, his skills in bed and his generosity in giving resources are still quite memorable.
So when they learned that he had joined that unknown small base, his three ex-wives didn't mind giving him a heads-up.
"When will they arrive?" Lu Yize asked Chen Ping.
Chen Ping's ability to track is particularly convenient. He uses his ability to create a planar map in the air with several green dots on it, "which will probably take no more than a day."
Morse chuckled upon hearing this, "How amusing. They only notified us when we were almost there, as if they were afraid we'd ambush them?"
"They came here?" Zheng Lin said with annoyance. "Does this mean we have to entertain them? They're shameless to show up uninvited like this. They said they were going to discuss something, but why didn't they take us with them?"
It wasn't a discussion at all; it was just a notification asking them to provide the venue and manpower. Oh, and these high and mighty people probably look down on them for actually becoming one with zombies and monsters.
"Let's wait until they arrive. Until then, strengthen the defenses and don't let any unrelated people in."
Once Lu Yize spoke, no one else dared to object.
It wasn't until the afternoon, when Chen Mingzhang received another message, that they got up and left the base.
Lu Yize didn't bring too many people this time, only Morse, Jiang Yue, Chen Mingzhang, Chen Ping, and Zheng Lin.
They had previously set their location at the central base, and when Lu Yize appeared before them through the spatial vortex, everyone cautiously focused their mental energy.
The moment he landed, he sensed the spiritual energy surging from all around him. Morse saw several familiar faces and stepped forward to greet them, "Hey, I didn't expect to see you all again. It's so good to see you all alive and well again, Amy, Mia, Mikara."
His three ex-wives didn't seem embarrassed when they saw Morse. It was a peaceful separation, so there was nothing wrong with it. Mikala, the oldest, stepped forward and greeted Morse with a smile, "Morse, it's so good that you're still alive."
“You too, Mikala, it’s just a pity we weren’t meant to be.” Morse held Camilla’s hand and kissed the back of it.
Some time after Morse left, unsure of his fate, his three wives naturally found other men, as their relationship was never truly committed.
Camilla smiled and withdrew her hand, but her gaze swept behind him, taking in Lu Yize and the others. After confirming the general situation, she smiled and met Morse's eyes, saying, "Morse, I believe you can also find someone who is compatible with you."
"Then I'll lend you some good advice."
Morse smiled and handed Camilla's hand to her current partner, whom he knew quite well—the second-in-command of the Beisha base.
In fact, not only Morse saw familiar faces, but Jiang Yue also saw familiar faces. However, compared to Morse's familiarity, she was surprisingly indifferent when she looked at her biological father, with whom she shared blood ties.
"Why bring zombies?"
The man, wearing glasses and a lab coat, who looked like he was deeply involved in the laboratory, looked at Jiang Yue and spoke.
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Yue's mother, Su Xuan, immediately stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve. "Qinghai, don't be like this. She, she is Xiaoyue, our daughter."
"My daughter is dead. This person in front of me is just a zombie." Jiang Qinghai's eyes showed no emotion for Jiang Yue, and one could even vaguely detect a trace of disgust for zombies.
The first person to show hostility towards Jiang Yue's appearance was her biological father. Jiang Yue didn't react to this. Jiang Qinghai was already absent from her life, so having one more or one less wouldn't make a difference.
She didn't care, but Lu Yize's gaze swept coldly over this person, as if he were looking at a dead person. How could he have entrusted Jiang Yue to such a person?
Caught between the father and daughter, Su Xuan was in a difficult position and also afraid of Jiang Qinghai. She could only coax her gently, "Don't say such things. Xiaoyue will be sad if she hears them. Xiaoyue has regained her senses now. You, you shouldn't do this."
Jiang Qinghai didn't even bother to act. He looked at Jiang Yue as if she were trash. "What's the use of regaining her senses now? From the moment she became a zombie, she ate countless people. From the moment she turned into a zombie, she was no longer my daughter."
“Sir, I have no objection to your desire to draw a line.” Jiang Yue’s sudden voice interrupted Jiang Qinghai’s indignant speech.
Jiang Qinghai and Su Xuan, who were struggling with him, turned to look at Jiang Yue, who was speaking normally and seemed like an outsider.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue tugged at his facial muscles and said, "I just want to make you aware of something that most people here already know. I may disappoint you, but I have never done anything like cannibalism since I became a zombie."
As Lu Yize listened to Jiang Yue's words, the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.
From the very beginning, what he wanted was not for Jiang Yue to gain anyone's approval, but for her to uphold her basic human principles openly, rationally, and with evidence in this situation.
