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

Chapter 198 I'm not interested in the reed.

Morse felt great pity for Zhang Wenjing entrusting her life to him, but although he loved women, he would not gamble with his own life.

Morse took the dagger, the blade leaving a conspicuous red mark on Zhang Wenjing's neck. He dropped his joking demeanor and said seriously, "Alright, you can now perform a mental scan on me."

Zhang Wenjing was relieved that he agreed to the mental probe, and her ability successfully entered Morse's mind.

Aside from some parts that Morse himself didn't want others to see, his memory probes were no different from those of other levels.

Zhang Wenjing glanced at Morse's uninformative mind and immediately withdrew her superpower. The moment she sensed her power fading, Morse also put away his knife.

"Your knife." Morse reverted to his roguish demeanor, handing the knife back to Zhang Wenjing, his gaze lingering on her neck. "The wound on your neck..."

Zhang Wenjing sheathed her knife, showing no interest in the latter half of his sentence. She simply frowned and said seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be another high-level mental ability user on the other side who can create a barrier to the memories of a fifth-level ability user. I guess their strength is no less than the fifth level."

Morse realized the seriousness of the problem and put away his joking thoughts. "I will talk to the people at the central base and in Xiyue about this."

"Yes, I'll let you know if I find anything."

After using the person, Zhang Wenjing stopped paying attention to Morse and focused on how to extract more value from that fifth-tier creature.

Seeing her like this, Morse was too embarrassed to disturb her any further. Although he enjoyed flirting with beautiful women, he knew what was important and what was urgent.

In addition to telling Chen Mingzhang and the others about the fifth-tier mental ability user, he also plans to go back to his room to cultivate.

After the psychic ability of Zhang Wenjing entered his mind, he vaguely felt a power that he could drive and control.

Morse had actually sensed this power in several critical situations, but it was usually too weak for him to even detect.

But after the mental ability of the superhuman had been circulating in his mind, he seemed to have vaguely found a way to use it.

After returning to her residence, Zhang Wenjing shared her discovery with the others. Lu Yize was not surprised by this, but Zhang Wenjing's discovery confirmed his suspicions.

The fifth-tier ability user that Zhang Wenjing suspected might be at the central base right now.

Zhang Wenjing did not stay with them for long. Shortly after she left, Sheng Xue followed her out in a wheelchair.

Upon seeing Sheng Xue, Zhang Wenjing slowed her pace. "Did you need something from me?"

"Hmm, I'd like to ask you about that creature. What is it like?"

Zhang Wenjing thought about it and decided it didn't matter, so she synchronized the image in her mind to Sheng Xue's mind. "It looks like this. It looks a bit strange. I don't know which family or species it is. I'm still studying it."

Presumably because this thing looks awful, Zhang Wenjing noticed Sheng Xue's pale face and asked, "Should I mentally block out that image from your mind?"

"No need." Sheng Xue's face was pale; if she weren't in a wheelchair, she might have stumbled.

Zhang Wenjing didn't notice anything unusual, but if it were Xian Wenrui, who was the most observant among them, he might have noticed that something was wrong with Sheng Xue.

"Okay, then you go in quickly. I still need to do some research. I just made a new discovery."

Zhang Wenjing didn't chat much with Sheng Xue. Before she returned, she discovered that the creature whose stomach she had cut open was slowly repairing its supernatural core. Although its mind was damaged, its body seemed to retain some weak instincts.

Supernatural nuclear energy repair?!

This discovery both excited and alarmed Zhang Wenjing. If the people in that lab could indeed repair their superpower cores on their own, then they would probably know more about methods to enhance superpowers, which meant that the enemies they would face would be even more powerful.

No wonder Lu Yize, Jiang Yue, and Chen Ping broke through their bottlenecks and improved their superpowers after only staying in that laboratory space for a short period of time.

What Zhang Wenjing wants to do now is to crack the secret as soon as possible, and find out as soon as possible what methods can be used to spontaneously repair the ability core, and what methods can be used to advance the ability core even without absorbing crystal cores.

However, as soon as she arrived at the lab, she saw a hurried figure.

Morse, who was pacing back and forth at the laboratory entrance, rushed at Zhang Wenjing the moment he saw her, like a runaway wolfhound. "Ms. Zhang, please, please conduct another mental examination of me."

Although she didn't know what was happening, Zhang Wenjing sidestepped the strange Beisha man who was trying to grab her hand.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in reeds."

Morse was taken aback, not understanding what she was saying at first, but then, realizing what she meant, Morse laughed heartily, "You're really funny."

Zhang Wenjing walked past him to enter the laboratory, but Morse immediately followed. "I'm serious. I need you to do me a very important favor. During the mental exploration just now, I seemed to vaguely sense a power."

Zhang Wenjing, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped. Mu Fei, Chen Ping, Xian Wenrui and they had studied it together before and found that there was indeed a core area in the mind of a superhuman.

No, not only superhumans, but also zombies and superhuman plants and animals have such a core area. They used to call this force "spiritual power," which can theoretically be driven.

But they have not yet found a way to use this power.

Hearing Morse say this, Zhang Wenjing was naturally interested, and she could even put aside the thought of suffering mental torment from the reeds again.

Although Zhang Wenjing was very interested, she was the reincarnation of Zhou Bapi, and since the other party needed her help, she certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

Zhang Wenjing held out her hand, "What kind of reward can you give me?"

Morse was taken aback, not expecting the reserved Easterner to be so passionate. He smiled and placed his hand on Zhang Wenjing's, "I will spend a beautiful night with you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Wenjing turned and left; she shouldn't have wasted that precious minute.

"Hey, wait, wait, how about ten beautiful nights?"

Seeing that she really left without looking back, Morse remembered what the leader had said about the Donggu people being greedy for money, and immediately changed the subject, "How about a hundred third-tier crystal cores?!"

Zhang Wenjing stopped in her tracks. "Alright, one hundred third-order crystal cores, deal."

Morse: ...The chief is right.
