Chapter 186 Locked
These words were like an invisible hand gripping Lu Yize's lifeline, causing his heart to spasm in pain.
He took a step back, releasing Jiang Yue's almost suffocating embrace. Just before she felt lost and uncertain, he lowered his head and gently kissed her, soothing her anxiety. "I don't dislike you."
Whether it was cheap or morbid, Lu Yize accepted her overflowing love completely. No one would present his love to him more purely and unreservedly than Jiang Yue, and no one could stir his emotions more than Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue probably understood his emotions; her eyes were shockingly red at that moment.
The soft touch on his lips traveled to his brain, and Jiang Yue was forced to tilt her head back as he moved, letting out a muffled groan, her breath trembling.
When Lu Yize met Jiang Yue's captivating eyes, he was mesmerized. His back muscles suddenly tensed, and he leaned forward, almost losing control, with a wild energy.
In Zhang Wenjing's words, Lu Yize and Jiang Yue are a perfect match, one a control freak and the other a yandere, locked together, and they should never go out and cause trouble for others.
During the days that Jiang Yue was advancing, Chen Mingzhang and his team had held no fewer than ten meetings and devised no fewer than a hundred plans. Even the support from the other three major bases was on its way.
Fan Jian was squatting on the ground with his rice bowl in his hand, shoveling fried rice into his mouth. Xian Wenrui was even more disheveled than him. His hair had grown long but he hadn't shaved, and his beard looked like it hadn't been shaved for days. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was some kind of wild man.
Xian Wenrui haphazardly stuffed a few mouthfuls of compressed alien beast meat into his mouth, chewing until his teeth ached. "Damn, the person who invented this compressed alien beast meat probably has a bite force no less than that of an adult hyena."
"There's plenty of fresh alien meat in the freezer. Why are you acting like you're on a movie? These compressed alien meats are made with the most filling materials, so they're definitely made in the most indigestible way possible. Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Fan Jian is such a shameless guy. As he said this, he was eating his fragrant fried rice with eggs, which was sizzling hot and made Xian Wenrui stare wide-eyed.
He tossed aside the compressed alien beast meat that was making his teeth ache from chewing, "Brother, let me have a couple of bites. I've been gnawing on these alien beasts in the lab these past few days to grind my teeth down. I feel like my molars are almost worn down."
"Fine... damn it, are you even human? You ate my whole bowl in those two bites, aren't you afraid of choking?!"
Fan Jian felt sorry for his fried rice. White rice was hard to find these days, and it wasn't easy for him to eat such a bowl of fried rice! He wished he could reach out and pry open Xian Wenrui's stuffed mouth and scoop the rice out of him.
As Xian Wenrui took a bite of the hot rice, tears welled up in his eyes. "I have to say, this fried rice is fucking delicious. What kind of egg is this? It tastes much better than the ones I've had before."
"Mutant bird eggs, you wouldn't understand even if I told you, these are good stuff, very nourishing."
After Fan Jian finished speaking, he pointed to the door with his chin in a cheeky manner. It used to be Sheng Xue's room, but now it was occupied by Lu Yize and Jiang Yue. "I even went outside to kill a strange beast, and I specially saved the kidneys for Brother Lu. I think he can use them."
Xian Wenrui swallowed his food and immediately understood what Fan Jian said. "It's a good thing that Brother Lu awakened his superpower, otherwise how could he have endured working inside for three days? Three days, right? I can hardly remember how many days he hasn't come out."
"Three whole days, tsk tsk, if I hadn't awakened my superpowers, it's hard to say whether I would still be alive after all this."
Fan Jian, holding his empty rice bowl, squatted on the ground and chuckled softly, "Who knows, Brother Lu might come out clutching his back in a bit."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door, which had been locked for three days, opened. Fan Jian, who was squatting at the door, lost his balance and fell backward, still holding his rice bowl in his hand, meeting Lu Yize's indifferent gaze.
"Hey, Brother Lu, what a coincidence!"
Fan Jian didn't dare to glance inside, afraid of seeing something he shouldn't, which would be terrible.
"Where are Sheng Xue and Zhang Wenjing?" Lu Yize ignored Fan Jian's question and asked to himself.
"Sheng Xue and Sister Jing should both be in the lab. What's wrong, Brother Lu?" Fan Jian pointed in the direction of the lab.
"Jiang Yue has advanced, but her abilities are still fluctuating a bit. Let Sheng Xue stabilize them."
"Okay, I'll send them a message and ask them to come over."
Xian Wenrui took out his special ability ring and sent a message to Sheng Xue. He gave up on contacting Zhang Wenjing. When Zhang Wenjing was doing scientific research, she didn't even have time to eat, let alone reply to messages.
Fan Jian sniffed, his attention lingering on Lu Yize, then his pupils dilated, "Holy crap, Brother Lu, you've advanced too?"
Lu Yize did not deny it, and gave a soft "hmm".
At that time, the overflowing power fluctuations from Jiang Yue's advancement affected him. In addition, Jiang Yue dissected herself in front of him, which made him momentarily emotional. His mental strength relaxed and he failed to suppress the surging power, accidentally breaking through the bottleneck.
Fortunately, he had enough crystal cores in his space; that sixth-order space-type crystal core alone was enough for him to get through this advancement.
At the same time, a spatial barrier was set up outside the house, locking the energy inside. People outside were unaware of what was happening and therefore did not realize that he had reached the fifth level.
The fifth rank truly is a watershed moment. Lu Yize never reached the fifth rank in his previous life, and only now is he experiencing the level of the fifth rank.
With mental strength doubled, the precision of control over superpowers increased, and the ability to perceive the opponent's weaknesses more clearly was enhanced, as well as the attraction to superpowers of the same attribute was strengthened, and the volume of the superpower space increased exponentially.
Whether it was related to the sixth-order crystal core he absorbed or not, Lu Yize felt that his superpower seemed to have changed and some unusual aspects had emerged.
He planned to verify his conjecture after Jiang Yue woke up.
The laboratory wasn't far from where they were. When Zhang Wenjing pushed Sheng Xue over, Jiang Yue was already awake, but still a little dazed from just waking up.
Lu Yize was used to her being absent-minded and didn't notice anything unusual. Under the covers, Jiang Yue silently clenched the blanket, her face turning pale and then red.
After advancing to the next level, most of the confusion in Jiang Yue's mind dissipated, and she regained some of her memories. For example, she knew who she was and clearly remembered all her memories after becoming a zombie.
Why is it that the part of her memory that turned her into a zombie is so clear? Jiang Yue looked down at her fingertips, and suddenly a heat surged up her cheeks. A tingling pain came from between her legs, and there was also the bite mark on her lip...
Jiang Yue recalled the scenes that had happened before, and felt so hot that she wished she could hide under the covers and never come out again.
As the zombies advanced, they gradually regained consciousness and developed human senses. Clearly, at this moment, Jiang Yue finally felt a sense of shame.
Hearing Sheng Xue and Zhang Wenjing enter the room, Jiang Yue rolled over on the bed, wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, and chose to continue pretending to be stupid and escaping. Although it was shameful, it was effective.
Lu Yize followed them in. His mental power was particularly sharp after his advancement, and he clearly noticed that Jiang Yue's supernatural power was fluctuating more intensely. He subconsciously frowned.
