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

Chapter 197 Invite him to eat a navel orange

Lu Yize had asked Jiang Yue the same question before, but Jiang Yue was completely clueless at the time and didn't give an answer.

Although Lu Yize already knew the answer in his heart, he still had a mischievous urge to hear Jiang Yue say the truth herself.

Jiang Yue, whose mind was not very clear, had forgotten that she had revealed all her memories to Lu Yize when she was advancing in her cultivation. At this moment, she was using half of her mind to wonder when she had given herself away.

Jiang Yue reviewed her hazy memories after becoming a zombie, but still couldn't find anything wrong. She thought she had hidden it well, and Lu Yize shouldn't have noticed.

If Lu Yize knew what she was thinking, trying to deceive herself, he would say that it was indeed unreliable to think with only half a brain; she was so dense that she didn't even realize there was a problem.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Lu Yize increased the pressure on his hand, and Jiang Yue looked up to meet his gaze.

She had hidden her shameful side away, but now she was exposing her dark side nakedly to Lu Yize.

Even so, Jiang Yue couldn't take her eyes off her. She knew she shouldn't expose herself like this, as it would scare people away, but her actions went against reason.

Jiang Yue moved closer, touched the tip of Lu Yize's nose with the tip of her nose, and softly hummed in agreement, acknowledging all the feelings she harbored for Lu Yize.

Although her voice was very soft, this was the first time Jiang Yue had openly acknowledged her feelings, and Lu Yize was in a good mood, feeling as comfortable as if every pore on his body had opened up.

"Why build a basement?"

Lu Yize was good at pretending. He didn't show any emotion on his face, neither approaching nor pushing Jiang Yue away. He just continued to "interrogate" her in a calm manner.

Jiang Yue looked embarrassed. If asked about other things, she might not remember, but she happened to have regained her memories from high school, so she knew exactly what she was thinking when she built this basement.

"to be honest."

Jiang Yue swallowed nervously, leaning against Lu Yize and rubbing her face against his neck anxiously, "I want to lock you up."

Lu Yize was not surprised by this answer. He put his arms around Jiang Yue's waist, his eyes deep, and asked, "Why lock her up?"

Jiang Yue's cheeks flushed slightly, tinged with desire. Just as Lu Yize thought she was about to say something shocking, he heard Jiang Yue say with a hint of wishful satisfaction, "Lock her up and kiss her."

Jiang Yue's greatest wish was to lock Lu Yize in the basement, then sneak in while he was sleeping and steal a kiss on his cheek.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue's body trembled with excitement, her shyness mixed with heavy breathing, concealing her overwhelming excitement.

Lu Yize looked down at Jiang Yue, who was blushing and excited. He leaned back in his chair and chuckled to himself, "That's it?"

He thought Jiang Yue would at least treat him to a navel orange.

"Didn't you think of anything else?" Lu Yize asked, still unwilling to give up.

Jiang Yue recalled the handcuffs in her basement, her face gradually turning red. Lu Yize reached out and brushed the strands of hair from her face. She was indeed becoming more and more human. Not only had her skin recovered, but she even had some color in it.

"I still want you to kiss me."

When Jiang Yue said this, her eyes were bright as she stared at Lu Yize. Lu Yize was taken aback by her innocent gaze. Jiang Yue at sixteen or seventeen years old did seem very naive.

Even when I think about it, I only dare to think about these things, and I don't dare to think about anything more outrageous.

Lu Yize was lost in thought when he noticed that Jiang Yue's gaze was fixed on him without wavering, and her eyes even held expectation, clearly conveying a message.

Lu Yize was a kind-hearted man. He stared at Jiang Yue's lips, turned his head and moved closer. Just as their lips were about to touch, the corners of Lu Yize's mouth curved upwards, and his eyes swept from Jiang Yue's lips all the way up, finally landing on her expectant, joyful and excited eyes.

Sure enough, those eyes are more interesting when they show emotion. Lu Yize deliberately pulled back a distance.

As expected, Jiang Yue immediately followed closely, and this subconscious dependence pleased Lu Yize greatly.

Before she was truly heartbroken, he lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eye, on the faint, almost imperceptible beauty mark under her eye.

When Lu Yize and Jiang Yue were together, no one else disturbed them. Fan Jian was depressed because of Xian Wenrui's matter, Sheng Xue's face was also not good, and Zhang Wenjing was busy in the laboratory studying the creature that Morse brought back.

Fan Jian's eyes were somewhat lost and empty at this moment. "Sheng Xue, do you think Lu Yize has changed? He doesn't seem to care at all about Xian Wenrui's death."

Sheng Xue looked at him but couldn't give any answer.

Fan Jian sighed softly and didn't comment further.

He changed the subject, staring in the direction of the laboratory, and said, "Zhang Wenjing was called to the laboratory. I heard that the people from Beisha brought back some strange research samples."

Sheng Xue followed his gaze and glanced in the direction of the laboratory. "It seems that the people in Beisha and the central base are very concerned about that research sample."

Meanwhile, the creature Morse brought back was being handcuffed to the lab floor, and Zhang Wenjing, fully dressed, was cutting open its body with a knife.

It was discovered that its physical structure is actually quite similar to that of a superhuman, with a superhuman core in its abdomen. However, the superhuman core is currently damaged. Moreover, this creature has not regained its senses, and it is very likely that its brain is damaged.

Zhang Wenjing asked Morse, who had been called over to assist, "Did you attack his brain?"

Morse shook his head. "No, I just destroyed his superpower core."

Zhang Wenjing used her mental power to probe its brain, but could only see some useless fragments. When she tried to see the key points, her mental ability sensed a barrier that she could not break through.

She frowned, feeling a bit troubled. Was this mental barrier something that high-level ability users naturally possessed, or had someone set it up for them?

This was related to whether the other party had a high-level ability user, so Zhang Wenjing didn't dare to be careless. To verify this, she needed the cooperation of an ability user who was also at the fifth level.

Currently, the only fifth-tier ability users she knows are Morse and Lu Yize. Although she has known Lu Yize for longer, she feels that Morse is probably much easier to talk to than Lu Yize, who is too wary.

Zhang Wenjing turned and told Morse about her discovery of the mental barrier.

"You mean, we can't be sure right now whether it's a mental barrier inherent to fifth-tier ability users or something set up by other high-tier ability users?"

"Yes, so I now need a fifth-tier ability user who can undergo mental probing to cooperate with me."

Upon hearing this, Morse hesitated, as he was somewhat wary of psychic ability users.

Zhang Wenjing understood his hesitation. She took a dagger from her side and handed it to Morse, holding it to her neck.

"If I make a move against you, you can kill me at any time, and that will stop any mental probing that happens."
