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

Chapter 125 Bad Couple

The others had been following Dong Hong from the beginning and were already used to obeying his orders.

Only the fire-type ability user remained silent for a moment before speaking, "I plan to go to the base not far away. Let's part ways here."

Dong Hong glanced at the fire-type ability user with a cold gaze. He had long sensed that this person did not get along with him, but he did not expect that he would choose to leave at this critical moment.

Regardless of what he thought in his heart, Dong Hong maintained the appearance of a good older brother, saying with a hurt look, "It's too dangerous for you to leave the group alone. You should stay with us."

"If you're not satisfied with me leading the team, then you can come and take over. We can always look out for each other if we're all together, so there's no need to act impulsively."

The kid with lightning-type superpowers was one of the first to follow Dong Hong. Now, upon hearing Dong Hong say this, he was the first to express his dissatisfaction, "Brother Dong, he's someone who came halfway through, why should we listen to him!"

Seeing the hostile looks in their eyes, the fire-type ability user gathered his power, and the heat wave melted the snow in the area where he was.

“I don’t need you to listen to me. I just want to part ways amicably. I’ll go to the nearest small base, and you can go to the base with abundant resources. There won’t be any conflict.”

Dong Hong noticed that although the man was still speaking politely, his supernatural abilities were already ready to be unleashed.

If he were just a Tier 1 like everyone else, Dong Hong would have dug out his ability core and eaten it no matter what.

But now, the person in front of him is at the second level, and his strength is almost the same as his. He can't kill him on his own.

Although there are a few other useless people around, taking him down wouldn't be a problem, but with so many people around, it's impossible to directly extract his ability core.

The space-type ability user glared angrily at the fire-type ability user in front of him and cursed, "You ungrateful wretch, you short-sighted bastard, what's the point of going to that little base!"

Seeing that he hadn't changed his mind, Dong Hong was furious inside, but on the surface he still maintained the face of a kind older brother. "Forget it, let him go. You can't force him."

Before leaving, the fire-type ability user also took the supplies that the central base had given each of them, and then left without looking back.

Behind him, Dong Hong and his group continued to hurl insults. After thinking it over, Dong Hong helped up the light-elemental ability user who had suffered a severe eye injury.

Although he is disabled, he is not without value.

"Brother Dong! Brother Dong and his gang have gone too far!! I want revenge, I absolutely must get revenge!!"

Dong Hong had his back to the other two, his face showing disgust, but he suppressed his emotions and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "Once we settle down and strengthen our power, we will definitely avenge you!"

He then turned to the other two and said, "Don't worry, as long as I live, I will never abandon any of you!"

His words were so righteous and inspiring that the others were instantly convinced.

It was only after he said these words that the spatial ability user gritted his teeth and spoke firmly, "Brother Dong, actually I feel that it's not a bad thing for the ungrateful wretch to leave."

"How to say?"

After hesitating for a moment, he said with a pale face, "I suspect that the people who died in our team before were not killed by zombies, but by humans!"

Dong Hong suddenly looked up. "Why do you say that?"

The spatial ability user was still unaware that something was wrong, lost in his memories, his face filled with horror.

"One day I woke up and accidentally saw shadows. They were clearly two people talking, and then one of them put his hand through the other's stomach!"

"We dug out their ability core while they were still alive, and don't you guys find it strange that since that fire-type ability user joined us, we've had fewer and fewer talented people around us!"

Upon hearing this, the lightning-type ability user's face instantly turned grim, because his own brother was one of the people who had died.

He grabbed the space-type ability user by the collar, "Why are you only telling me now!"

"Because I can't be sure it's him! But he's in such a hurry to separate from us today and join those small bases. Maybe he realized he can't kill us, so he's looking for another way out."

"No wonder he has such strong superpowers, so that's how he does it! Even someone as gifted as Brother Dong is almost as strong as him. Clearly, he used dirty tricks!"

Dong Hong didn't breathe a sigh of relief. His gaze quietly fell on the spatial ability user. This person... cannot be allowed to live.

However, Dong Hong quickly came to terms with it, thinking, "Oh well, I never intended for these people to stay anyway."

As long as he has resources and strength, one day he will become the leader of a base.

"If he really did those things, don't worry, I will definitely not let him off easily," Dong Hong assured them.

Looking at the grateful group in front of him, Dong Hong smiled contemptuously. Although these people were a bit useless, a base that was huddled up in the mountains probably didn't have any strong people.

Otherwise, the people at the central base wouldn't be so worried. In that case, this base is simply a gift from heaven, and he is indeed the one chosen by heaven.

"Let's go. If nothing unexpected happens, that base should be in this direction."

Dong Hong pushed the light-elemental ability user to the front. Although his eyes were severely injured, he could still see faintly because of the ability user's powerful regenerative ability.

The light-elemental ability users created a halo around them, one meter in diameter, enveloping them within it.

The fragile halo of light shielded them from the wind and snow, and the group of them huddled behind him as they continued to move forward.

Lu Yize was inside the base, tapping his fingers on the table, patiently waiting for a group of people who appeared to be Dong Hong to come forward.

"One of the fire-type ability users separated from them and went to a nearby small base. Do you want me to keep an eye on him?" Chen Mingzhang's voice came from his ability ring.

"Need not."

"Okay, then you guys be careful."

Chen Mingzhang was aware of the strength of the group that had just arrived and that they posed no threat to Lu Yize and the others, so he didn't interfere.

After hanging up the call, Lu Yize thought back to the people in his previous life. There was indeed a fire-type ability user by Dong Hong's side, who was also the only person in the entire base who still had a conscience.

Finally, when Jiang Yue rescued him, he heard that Dong Hong had killed him on the spot in front of everyone to establish his authority.

Lu Yize is now increasingly certain that the group that came was Dong Hong and his men. His enemies from his past life are about to appear before him, which is truly something to look forward to.

Jiang Yue, who had been listening to Lu Yize's words, was sharpening her claws with a knife when she noticed Lu Yize's movements. She looked up and saw him with a sickly smile on his face.

Jiang Yue held the blade in her hand, looked down at the blurry figure revealed by the blade, and imitated a strange smile.

Xian Wenrui, standing to the side, rubbed his arms and sighed inwardly. These two are indeed a couple; neither of them seems like a good person.
