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

Chapter 123 Let Me Hold You for a While

At the central base, the door to the top-floor office was knocked on.

Holding the analysis report of the third-order crystal core that had been sent to the Donggu Base not long ago, Chen Mingzhang spoke to the outsider without looking up, "Go in."

Zhu Lei pushed open the door and reported, "Captain, a group of people outside the base have applied to join the base. They are all people with superpowers, a total of five."

Chen Mingzhang put down his pen and looked up. "Are they all superhumans?"

"Yes, one of them is a space ability user, one is a shadow ability user, and the other three are fire, lightning, and light ability users respectively. The shadow and fire ability users are both second-tier ability users."

Several superhumans, including even second-tier superhumans, would be a great asset wherever they are placed, and any base would want to absorb this power.

but……

"Are there only the five of them, and no one else?" Chen Ming asked.

"Hmm... They said their base was attacked by a zombie king, and everyone inside died, except for them who managed to escape."

"They are really lucky."

Chen Mingzhang neither said he believed nor he did not believe.

Just thinking back to when I first arrived at the central base, the zombie king was trying to take over the central base, but the superhumans in the central base did not abandon the ordinary people in the base to escape.

Even ordinary young men in the base, without any special abilities, risked their lives to protect their base, leaving the children a way to survive.

In Chen Mingzhang's position, every choice he makes is extremely important; he cannot simply let five people whose backgrounds are unknown into the base.

The documents on the desk were quickly turned over by an invisible wind, and the room fell into complete darkness, swallowed by the darkness.

When Chen Mingzhang opened his eyes again, he was already in his own illusionary space.

In the boundless black environment, there was only a white light where he was standing, and two paths lay before him.

One option is to maintain the status quo, and the other is to have these five people join the base.

Chen Mingzhang walked down the second path, opened the door, and found the inside pitch black, yet he could hear the sound of water dripping.

Chen Mingzhang took a few steps inside, but the next moment, he suddenly turned his head and saw a pitch-black monster moving rapidly towards him from behind.

When Chen Mingzhang turned his head, he saw a gaping maw, its white teeth still covered in foul-smelling saliva.

The sound of dripping water he had just heard was actually the sound of monster saliva dripping onto the ground!

The moment the black monster was discovered, it swooped down. Alarm bells rang in Chen Mingzhang's mind, but he was unable to move and was locked in place.

The greedy black shadow swallowed him whole. The moment Chen Mingzhang was swallowed, his superpowers exploded, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in the real world.

"team leader!"

Zhu Lei was thrown away by the supernatural force and limped closer.

Chen Mingzhang was breathing rapidly, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I'm fine."

Before Zhu Lei could say anything more, he heard the sound of the power ring on his hand. Chen Mingzhang calmed his mind and connected to it, and Lu Yize's face appeared in front of him.

Before Lu Yize could speak, seeing his disheveled appearance, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing. It's just that a group of superhumans came to the base. After using my superhuman abilities to make a prediction, I felt it was not appropriate to let them into the base. I plan to have Zhu Lei give them some food and let them go to other bases."

As Chen Mingzhang spoke, he calmly wiped away the blood that kept seeping from his eyes. Every time his superpower made a wrong choice, he had to pay a price.

However, this cost is clearly insignificant compared to the crisis that could have been avoided.

In retrospect, of all the times Chen Mingzhang has used his superpowers, the only time he made a choice was when deciding whether to cooperate with Lu Yize.

This is why Chen Mingzhang was so generous and trusting of Lu Yize and others; ultimately, he trusted himself.

"Several superhumans?"

Lu Yize felt a strange jolt in his heart, as if the situation was somewhat familiar.

In their past lives, Dong Hong and the others seemed to have said that they were rejected by the people at the central base. If it really was them, then it's truly... a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.

Chen Mingzhang didn't think much of it. "Well, five ability users, including two second-tier ability users, one fire-type and one shadow-type. However, their identities are unknown, so we won't take the risk."

“Shadow-type ability user.” Lu Yize grinned, repeatedly chewing on these words, and whispered something no one heard, “It really does bring back memories.”

"what?"

Chen Mingzhang frowned and moved away from the power ring. Although he didn't know what Lu Yize had said, he felt that Lu Yize's expression was a bit abnormal.

"It's nothing, but after you gave them food and sent them away, you casually revealed my address to them."

Lu Yize made no attempt to hide his emotions; they were brimming with murderous intent.

Although Chen Mingzhang was unaware of the conflict between this group and Lu Yize.

However, recalling everything he had just seen in the illusion, Chen Mingzhang felt that it wouldn't be a bad thing to use Lu Yize's hands to eliminate these people.

"Okay, I see."

Chen Mingzhang planned to let those people choose for themselves. If they became greedy and went to Lu Yize, then they could only blame themselves for being insatiable.

"By the way, what's the matter that you contacted me about?"

Chen Mingzhang didn't think Lu Yize's call was just a casual greeting.

Hearing this, Lu Yize remembered the important matter. "Oh, it's nothing major. I just think the rainstorm might come early, probably in the next day or two. You should prepare as soon as possible."

"What?!" Chen Mingzhang glanced outside and saw that the snow was still swirling around, making an avalanche seem much more likely than a downpour.

However, Chen Mingzhang did not disbelieve Lu Yize's words. Since he had come specifically to remind him, he would make the corresponding preparations. "Okay, thanks."

"Well, that's it for now."

Chen Mingzhang glanced at the power ring, clearly not understanding why he suddenly disconnected it, but he vaguely saw a figure just before it was disconnected.

Lu Yize glanced at Jiang Yue, who was approaching him. His gaze slid from her cheeks down to her arms and then to her calves.

In their past life, he and Jiang Yue were crippled or disabled because of Dong Hong. Lu Yize waved to Jiang Yue, and Jiang Yue slowly moved to stand in front of him.

As if sensing something, Jiang Yue reached out and touched Lu Yize's leg.

Having spent fifteen years in a wheelchair, Lu Yize initially struggled to walk, and his legs became a taboo subject for him.

This taboo, when faced with Jiang Yue, reminded him of Jiang Yue's unwavering companionship for ten years in his previous life.

Lu Yize pulled Jiang Yue onto his lap, holding her not-so-warm body in front of him. "Let me hold you for a while."

At this moment, Lu Yize's restless heart gradually calmed down, and his reason, which had been lost due to hatred, gradually returned.
