Chapter 165 Meeting Parents
Jiang Yue was disappointed. She grabbed his clothes, tugged at them for a while before letting go, and deliberately let out a sigh.
Lu Yize didn't tolerate her. He got up and dressed, while Jiang Yue lay on the bed, her head constantly moving towards Lu Yize, staring at him expectantly.
Lu Yize was like a piece of fat meat that Jiang Yue had identified, and she was afraid he would run away.
Lu Yize looked down and saw that the bite mark on Jiang Yue's neck had healed and was now just a faint mark. The self-healing ability of the third-level zombie was stronger than before.
Thinking about the person he was going to meet today, Lu Yize specially found Jiang Yue an outfit that matched his own to change into. It was obvious to everyone that Lu Yize was trying to steal the girl from her.
Chen Mingzhang sent a message saying they were almost there, but Lu Yize didn't take it seriously. He took Jiang Yue downstairs and saw Xian Wenrui and Fan Jian doing some modifications to their car.
One was lying under the car, and the other was climbing onto the roof.
Sheng Xue brought out some pastries she had made from the kitchen and happened to see Jiang Yue and Lu Yize. She smiled gently and asked, "Would you like to try some?"
Since becoming a zombie, Jiang Yue hasn't eaten any desserts. Before, she wasn't interested in anything other than flesh and blood. Later, she just didn't have the chance to try them. After all, it's the apocalypse, so what fresh desserts are there?
Jiang Yue became interested, moved closer to Sheng Xue, and poked at the small cake on the plate. It was quite exquisite.
"I saw some ingredients in the warehouse, so I made a little bit. Try it, and if you like it, I'll make you more."
Sheng Xue took out one of the chocolate-flavored cakes and placed it in Jiang Yue's hand, even thoughtfully peeling off the foil underneath.
After receiving the cake, Jiang Yue immediately stuffed it into her mouth. Sheng Xue smiled helplessly, realizing that it was indeed in line with Jiang Yue's personality.
Lu Yize glanced at Jiang Yue, who was engrossed in sweets, then looked away and at Xian Wenrui and Fan Jian, who were fiddling with something.
Fan Jian sat on the hood of the car, his head throbbing with blood, and communicated with Xian Wenrui underneath.
It was barely discernible that he was playing a commanding role, but the results were clearly poor, and communication between the two was difficult.
Fan Jianchao, not to be outdone by Xian Wenrui, turned to Lu Yize and asked, "Brother Lu, you be the judge, if this superpower wants to be combined with a car, shouldn't there first be a container to store the superpower?"
Xian Wenrui slid out from under the car and said, "Storing and releasing superpowers is indeed feasible, but it's too wasteful of the storage rings and the utilization efficiency seems low. I feel that since we're already using superpowers, there must be other feasible methods."
"What method?" Fan Jian asked in return.
Xian Wenrui shook his head, "I don't know, but there should be some. Let me think about it, let me think about it some more."
Lu Yize glanced at it and said, "We can try both sets of equipment. Fan Jian mentioned before that it can be used directly with direct input and driven by supernatural abilities, without the need for storage. The other set is for storage and use."
When Fan Jian was driving, he pressed the accelerator so hard that sparks flew and the speed reached its limit. At that time, he mentioned that it would be great if he could directly use his supernatural power to drive the car.
Xian Wenrui thought about it and realized that this made sense; avoiding the storage process would likely reduce the waste of supernatural abilities.
"I'll give it a try." Without saying another word, Xian Wenrui started working.
Zhang Wenjing rode out on her little white bike and saw them busy modifying it. She became somewhat interested and offered to help out a little, starting with the internal modifications.
"Take the blueprints with you, we're heading to the central base," Lu Yize said, and Xian Wenrui and the others all turned to look at him.
"People from the Donggu base are coming; they might have some research in this area."
Lu Yize gave a brief explanation, and Xian Wenrui immediately perked up, "Wait, right away, I'll go get the blueprints."
He worked on all of this overnight. After returning, he modified and drew up blueprints based on Fan Jian's previous suggestions, and worked on them by himself until daytime.
He was originally a night owl, but now that he has superpowers, he has evolved to lose his sleep ability and can also absorb crystal cores while studying blueprints.
Xian Wenrui came out carrying a stack of blueprints, and Fan Jian exclaimed in disbelief, "Are you crazy? Working so hard? You produced so much in one night!"
"It's alright, just average." Xian Wenrui pretended to be calm and low-key, but in reality, he silently accepted the title of "liver king".
However, he quickly regained his composure and turned to ask Lu Yize, "Brother Lu, people from the Donggu Base are here. Are we going to discuss the underwater laboratory with them?"
"Okay." Lu Yize used his supernatural ability to create a vortex for spatial travel. "I'll also take this opportunity to meet Jiang Yue's parents."
"What?!" Fan Jian exclaimed in surprise.
The people behind them all showed varying degrees of surprise and astonishment. Xian Wenrui and Fan Jian were shocked, but also teased Lu Yize with a hint of amusement. Sheng Xue's eyes revealed a trace of envy.
Aside from surprise, Zhang Wenjing showed no other emotions. She was strong-willed, but she still subconsciously stroked Xiaobai's fur.
It wasn't until Jiang Yue took a bite of cake and jumped straight into the vortex that the group gradually came to their senses and followed her into the vortex. In just an instant, they stepped from the base into the central base area.
However, there were many unfamiliar faces standing in the central base at this time. Lu Yize was communicating with Chen Mingzhang and showed no signs of nervousness.
It wasn't until Jiang Yue jumped into the central base that everyone's attention turned to her.
Many people looked wary, and the various gazes made Jiang Yue instantly alert, her face turning fierce.
Inquiry, suspicion, murderous intent... Among the many gazes, one gaze was particularly peculiar. The next moment, Jiang Yue was suddenly embraced by a beautiful woman in the group.
"Yueyue, you're alive, you're really alive..."
The silence was broken by a woman's faint sobs. She was slightly taller than Jiang Yue, but her full figure was exactly the same as Jiang Yue's.
Lu Yize stood to the side, slightly annoyed. Jiang Yue, who never liked getting close to strangers, stood there stunned, as if she could subconsciously recognize who this person was.
He had no liking for anyone wearing a white coat, and the person in front of him who resembled Jiang Yue's mother seemed to be engaged in scientific research.
Jiang Yue was caught off guard by the sudden hug, but after a while she managed to break free and stare at the woman in front of her, who was crying her eyes out. The woman's tears were even more intense because of her struggle to break free.
If the two of them just stood together, no one would doubt that they were not mother and daughter. They looked exactly alike, only the difference in age gave Jiang Yue's mother a more mature charm.
In comparison, Jiang Yue appeared more youthful and immature. However, it cannot be denied that even though Jiang Yue had become a zombie and still bore some signs of zombieization, it had not affected her appearance.
"Yueyue..."
The woman in front of me had tears wetting her eyelashes, and her nose and eyes were red from crying. She looked at her daughter with heartache.
But before she could touch Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue retreated without hesitation. The moment Lu Yize realized that she was going to retreat, he grabbed Jiang Yue's arm and pulled the corpse to his side.
