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

Chapter 113 You Wicked Child, Stop Speaking Such Arrogance

Lu Yize sometimes admires Fan Jian, because he always speaks without thinking.

Becoming his brain cells must be a blessing, allowing him to retire in his empty brain.

Before Lu Yize could even speak, Xian Wenrui slapped Fan Jian on the head, "That's impossible, isn't it? Bringing it over in the heavy snow, what kind of relationship do you have?"

"Is it related to the black box that was delivered before?"

A glint flashed in Zhang Wenjing's eyes. Although it was a question, her words carried a certainty.

Lu Yize took out a black box from his spatial storage, and Jiang Yue, like a cat seeing catnip, immediately clung to it, unable to put the black box down.

A silver-gray light emanated from the previously closed black box.

A surge of powerful energy flashed, creating a small hurricane that forced everyone present to close their eyes and shield their vision.

Jiang Yue was not afraid of light. Her dark pupils stared unblinkingly at the box that was emitting supernatural power. The wind blew the stray hairs on her forehead, and her straight black hair danced with them.

Lu Yize stood still, unaffected, staring at the power cores and crystal cores that were gradually accumulating inside the black box.

As the light gradually dimmed, the room returned to calm. The black box lay there as if nothing had happened, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

"Open it."

As soon as Lu Yize finished speaking, Jiang Yue opened the black box as instructed before anyone else could react.

Various colored crystals came into view, and the originally dim light shone on these crystals, making the room seem brighter.

"My goodness, how many crystal cores are there? We've struck it rich!" Fan Jian exclaimed in shock.

In disbelief, he insisted that Xian Wenrui, who was standing next to him, pinch him.

Xian Wenrui had never seen such an annoying person. Before he could even make a move, Xiao Bai stepped forward and cooperated by biting Fan Jian's head, shaking it up and down and left and right.

"elder brother!"

Sheng Xue was startled by Xiao Bai's sudden behavior.

Zhang Wenjing calmly patted her hand, "Don't worry, Xiaobai is more sensible than the other two. He's just playing with him."

As if in response to Zhang Wenjing's words, Fan Jian was thrown away the next moment, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

"elder brother?!"

Fan Jian, who had been thrown into the air, had blood all over his head, but he looked to be in good spirits.

"Wow, so many crystal cores? Holy crap! I'm never calling Chen Mingzhang 'Squinty Eyes' again; I'm going to call him 'Godfather'! He's got real money!"

Sheng Xue noticed that the person in question didn't seem to care at all. He even wiped the blood from his head and grinned foolishly at Xiao Bai, "Thanks, Brother Gou, I'm instantly sober now."

"Fan Jian, Xian Wenrui, and Zhang Wenjing, you three will split the zero-level crystal cores equally; Sheng Xue will take half of the first-level crystal cores, and Jiang Yue and Xiaobai will take the other half."

Lu Yize divided the crystal cores into several portions, and when Sheng Xue heard about the distribution ratio, she wondered if it was unfair.

However, before she could speak, she heard Lu Yize continue, "The remaining ability cores will be divided equally between Xiaobai and Jiang Yue. Apart from them, the others won't make much use of them."

Sheng Xue silently accepted the crystal cores given to her, saying that Lu Yize would never let Jiang Yue suffer a loss.

Zhang Wenjing glanced at Xiaobai, who had made a windfall because of Jiang Yue.

Good, good, good, as expected, clinging to the right person leads to success.

After distributing the crystal cores, Lu Yize transmitted information about the ability users under Chen Mingzhang and the mutated beast horde under Julu into their ability rings.

"Absorb and enhance your superpowers as soon as possible, and prepare accordingly."

After Lu Yize finished transmitting the data, he turned around and found Jiang Yue staring blankly at a bunch of words on the power ring.

Oh, I forgot, there's also an illiterate person here.

Sheng Xue patted Xiaobai, who also couldn't read, and asked, "What will happen to that anthropomorphic mutant monkey if Xiaobai and Jiang Yue can't recognize it?"

Zhang Wenjing was very confident in Xiaobai, "It's okay, Xiaobai has a high IQ. After advancing, his IQ will at least surpass Fan Jian's and will soon reach Xian Wenrui's level."

Fan Jian pointed to himself, "Am I some kind of lowly thing?"

Xian Wenrui suddenly felt a sense of crisis. "Can superpower enhancement also improve intelligence? I need to hurry up and improve it, otherwise I'll be overtaken by Xiaobai. Damn it, what kind of talk is that?"

Zhang Wenjing stepped forward and fed Xiaobai a piece of jerky. "Besides that, Xiaobai's sense of smell is 1,200 times stronger than ours, and it can distinguish many subtle differences in smell."

"I looked at the information provided by Chen Mingzhang. The one who finally identified the mutated monkey was the mutated dog from the Xiyue base."

"So instead of worrying about Xiaobai, we should worry about what will happen if Jiang Yue doesn't recognize him."

Upon hearing this, Fan Jian, a slacker, took out a stack of photocopied documents and flipped through them. "Well, zombies' sense of smell and vision are not as good as humans', but their hearing is a hundred times better than humans'."

"Perhaps Jiang Yue can distinguish subtle differences based on the sound?"

Xian Wenrui nodded, "It's hard to say about others, but Fan Jian, your voice is something that not just anyone can imitate; it's definitely easy to recognize."

"I always feel like you're making a veiled attack on me, but I have no proof."

Fan Jian's double pupils showed a tendency to overlap, but they quickly dispersed again.

"Damn, what's wrong with your eyes? You scared me to death!" Xian Wenrui was startled by Fan Jian.

"What are you doing? Honestly, it's not like this is the first time you've seen me like this. How can you still be scared?"

Fan Jian felt wronged, but he didn't hold it in.

Fan Jian's pupils have become distorted and adhered since his head was cut off.

The shape changes from O to ∞, with both pupils located within the same eye socket, occupying most of the eyeball.

Just a moment ago, the pupils, which were originally in the shape of an infinity symbol, inexplicably overlapped for a brief instant, but quickly separated again.

Xian Wenrui isn't timid, but people get creeped out when they see unusual compositions within a familiar structure.

"I didn't want to either, but just now your two separate pupils suddenly closed together, and it felt... very strange."

Upon hearing this, Fan Jian, the person involved, exclaimed, "Don't scare me, I'm easily frightened."

"Who's trying to scare who!"

Lu Yize stared into Fan Jian's eyes, frowning in confusion. Why did he have a pair of double pupils after awakening his superpower?

Was Fan Jianjue's eye normal in his previous life, and is it related to the source of infection?

Sheng Xue couldn't find anything unusual either, and Zhang Wenjing searched through all the records she had stolen from the lab but still couldn't find the reason.

Zhang Wenjing thought for a moment and speculated, "Your eyes might be related to the Zombie King's ability. His ability is replication, and you might have been infected with his virus, which is why you're affected?"

Fan Jian reacted strongly to the mention of the zombie king who had chopped off his head, exclaiming, "Copying? Superpowers can be used like that?"

"What's the point of copying two pupils? It doesn't make my vision any clearer. Why don't you just copy two pupils for me directly...?"

Before Fan Jian could finish speaking, Xian Wenrui interrupted him with a shout, "You wicked child, don't spout such nonsense!"
