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

Chapter 166 Worry



Chapter 166 Worry

Before coming, Chen Mingzhang had told Jiang Yue's mother about Lu Yize, but when she actually saw Lu Yize, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"You are... Lu Yize, right?"

Although Jiang Yue's mother said this, her eyes looked at Jiang Yue with a somewhat uneasy expression. Because of her guilty conscience, she inexplicably calmed down and strangely composed herself.

Perhaps sensing the apprehension in Lu Yize's eyes, she hurriedly pulled out a photo of herself and Jiang Yue, as well as her household registration book, eager to prove her identity.

"I am indeed Jiang Yue's mother, but we thought she had an accident, and due to the nature of our work, we couldn't find her." As she spoke, her voice gradually lowered, and she began to sob.

Most people would at least offer her a tissue if they saw her crying like this, but Lu Yize was different. He was heartless and ignored it, only staring at the group photo and the household registration book for verification.

Jiang Yue took her father's surname. Her father was eight years older than her mother. Her mother was not old, only thirty-nine years old. That is to say, she had a child around the same age as Jiang Yue.

Lu Yize stared at Jiang Yue's father's name and sneered. There was a real beast here. Compared to him, what was he?

Although Jiang Yue's mother is nearly forty, she looks young, as if she is only twenty-seven or twenty-eight. People would believe she is Jiang Yue's older sister.

Lu Yize didn't believe her previous explanation. He just brought Jiang Yue to take a look, hoping to stimulate her to recover her memories faster.

Jiang Yue's mother's name is Su Xuan. Strictly speaking, she is not a qualified mother. She looked at Jiang Yue, who had turned into a zombie, with tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but cover her eyes and cry again.

"Where is Jiang Yue's father?" Lu Yize asked coldly.

Su Xuan choked back tears, "He... is still busy, he won't be able to come for a while."

Even after she said it, Su Xuan herself was conflicted. She didn't understand why her husband had changed. She had even had a big fight with him about their daughter.

Su Xuan, who is usually mild-mannered, lost her temper with her husband for the second time because of her daughter. The first time was when her daughter was abducted when she was a child.

Looking at the gentle and sweet-natured Su Xuan in front of him, with a father who was busy with work and an unreliable mother, Lu Yize sneered inwardly. He shouldn't have sent Jiang Yue back in the first place.

Lu Yize still had questions for Su Xuan, but there were too many people around, so it wasn't a good time to talk.

"She's a zombie now, and she's gradually regaining her human memories?" A man wearing glasses and a white coat appeared in front of them, staring at Jiang Yue as if she were the perfect test subject.

Just as he was about to reach out, he was blasted several meters away by a domineering and powerful supernatural ability. This action caused the supernatural abilities of those following closely behind him in the central base to stir, with various supernatural abilities swirling around their bodies.

Xian Wenrui and the others also gathered supernatural abilities in their hands, ready to fight at any time.

As a result, the person who had been thrown several meters away by Lu Yize got up, dusted off his clothes, and reached out to block the actions of the people on their side.

"I got excited. This is the first time I've seen a live Tier 3 zombie up close."

Lu Yize blocked Jiang Yue and replied half-truthfully, "Although the third-level zombie has gained consciousness, its ferocity has not been eliminated. I was just preventing it from hurting you."

Upon hearing this, one of the other party's subordinates felt that Lu Yize was simply making excuses!

"So you just threw our captain several meters away to protect him?"

Fan Jian jumped in, "Isn't it all to protect him? His awakened superpower probably isn't very strong in either offense or defense, right? What if Jiang Yue accidentally hurts him?"

"you!"

Chen Mingzhang watched the commotion from the sidelines without getting involved; the captains of the major regions within their base generally didn't concern themselves with the other side's affairs.

Zhang Wenjing stared at the man in front of her and asked uncertainly, "Are you the captain of the fifth district of the Donggu Base?"

This is somewhat different from what was rumored. Wasn't it said that the Fifth District Captain's specialty was disguise and tracking, and that he didn't have a strong presence?

The person in front of me had messy curly hair and didn't look like someone who was low-key at all.

"No, I'm Mu Fei, the captain of the second squad of the Donggu Base. The captain of the fifth squad is over there." The man in the white coat with glasses pointed to the man squatting next to Chen Mingzhang, eating sunflower seeds and watching the show.

The man had an extremely ordinary face; you could even forget what he looked like after just one glance. He extended his hand to Lu Yize and the others, smiling and greeting them, "Hi."

"So many?" Fan Jian looked at the two captains from Zones Two and Five and clicked his tongue twice.

“We’ve been tracking them for a long time and have gathered some information. The body parts you sent back to the base earlier have played a significant role in helping us to make a preliminary assessment of their location and environment.”

The fifth squad leader even had the most common voice, the kind you hear and forget immediately, as if you had no impression of him at all.

A picture appeared on the second squad leader Mu Fei's ability ring. Lu Yize and others recognized the white clothes and black mask as the standard equipment worn by the people in Sun Jianbai's so-called organization.

"These clothes are made of special materials that can reduce the opponent's attack by 30%, resist various supernatural abilities, and at the same time cover up the smell and conceal the body."

Zhang Wenjing stepped forward, staring at the familiar clothes in front of her, and sensed something was wrong. "What material is this made of?"

“We can’t break it down yet, so I came along to figure out this special material.” Mu Fei then turned his gaze to Xian Wenrui and abruptly asked, “Do you want to join our base?”

No? How did that conversation turn out? Was it so abrupt?

Chen Mingzhang covered his face with one hand, while Mu Fei still had no sense of social etiquette. Who would poach someone's partner in front of others, and do so so abruptly?

Xian Wenrui's gaze was initially focused on the clothes displayed by the power ring, but suddenly it became the center of the conversation. He looked around and thought it through before realizing that the person was talking to him.

"You're very good. I've seen your design, and it's perfect for our Second District. You'll have better opportunities if you join us, and you can also reunite with your parents." Mu Fei ignored everyone else's expressions and continued to say what he wanted to say.

Chen Mingzhang and the fifth squad leader shook their heads, thinking it wouldn't be surprising if Mu Fei was slapped away by Lu Yize again. Who would be eyeing someone else's wife right away and trying to poach someone else's technical backbone?

Although Xian Wenrui wanted to reunite with his parents, he had no interest in joining other bases.

Upon hearing his refusal, Mu Fei looked puzzled and couldn't figure out the reason from any angle, so he kept asking Xian Wenrui like a broken record.

Fan Jian flinched away, complaining to Zheng Lin, "Have these guys at your base gone crazy from all that studying?"

The person Zheng Lin feared most in his life was Mu Fei. Thinking of the torment of being chased by him to study, he couldn't help but tremble. "Probably...yes."

While they were in chaos, Su Xuan looked at Jiang Yue and Lu Yize with concern.

Hey, I hope Lu Yize hasn't discovered that his daughter is a little pervert.
