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

Chapter 373 Base Snack Street

After searching around twice, Morse broke open a stone and then pointed excitedly to a spot surrounded by seaweed.

"found it!"

Morse's voice came through his mental power, and Lu Yize then stepped forward and saw a purplish-black crystal lying in the center surrounded by seaweed, exuding the same aura as the black crystal meteorite.

However, compared to the powerful energy emanating from the black crystal meteorite and its domineering nature that prevents anyone from getting close, the energy contained in this purplish-black crystal is much more restrained.

It has almost no offensive capabilities against the outside world.

“We tried to take it down, but found we couldn’t. Then we had a vague feeling that this purplish-black crystal and that black crystal meteorite should be connected.”

"Because the moment we touched this dark purple crystal, we clearly felt a tremor from the special ability in your area."

Lu Yi recalled that when they were on their previous mission, Chen Mingzhang suddenly became exhausted because he felt a tremor from the black crystal meteorite. They initially thought it was an aftershock.

But now, based on what they said, it seems to be related to their touching of this dark purple crystal.

How did you find it?

Morse patted Chen Ping on the shoulder. "His superpower, the details he detected with his tracking ability are not right. Although I can't feel it, he said that his superpower in the seawater is constantly decreasing in different areas."

Such a minute amount of supernatural power would be undetectable to the average person, but Chen Ping's supernatural power was just right to detect such a slight change.

After Chen Ping happened to notice the anomaly, he asked Morse to help him search. They eventually found the special crystal on the frozen seabed, but no matter what they tried, they couldn't remove it.

Before their powers were exhausted, they had no choice but to give up temporarily. However, to prevent the crystal from falling into the hands of others, and even more so to prevent it from falling into the hands of those alien races, they specially set up two layers of attack powers around the crystal.

Anyone who touches this crystal will be attacked, and at the same time they will become aware of the anomaly.

For the past two weeks, both Morse and Chen Ping have been a little anxious, since they haven't been able to get their hands on the item yet, which makes them uneasy.

In response, Morse could only manage to eat several hundred kilograms of crayfish to calm his restless soul. It wasn't that he wanted to eat them, but he had no choice; it was just a way to distract himself, and he even developed a blister as a result.

Chen Ping turned to Lu Yize and said, "We're not sure why we can't take it off. It might be related to our ability level and mental strength level."

"So we wanted you to take a look, or use your spatial abilities to see if you can remove it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yize reached out and tried to remove the entire piece of dark purple crystal. Because of his touch, cracks quickly appeared on the seabed, which was frozen by frost. Seeing this, Lu Yize withdrew his hand and shook his head.

"Can't get it off."

Lu Yize mobilized all his supernatural abilities and mental power in an attempt to extract the crystal, but failed.

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Yize clearly felt a commotion emanating from the supernatural space connected to his mental sea. After a moment of pause, he used his spatial teleportation ability to try to take the crystal into his supernatural space.

However, to avoid any accidents, he released Jiang Yue, who was placed in the supernatural space, first.

The next moment, Lu Yize placed his hands on the dark purple crystal core. The cold current generated by his supernatural power swirled around the crystal, causing Chen Ping, Morse, and Jiang Yue, who could only watch helplessly, to take a step back.

Jiang Yue stared at the bulging veins on Lu Yize's temples, her heart sinking with each step. The others couldn't even get close.

The surrounding ice shattered. After Lu Yize used almost all of his superpowers, the surrounding ice suddenly collapsed, and the small piece of blackish-purple crystal hidden inside was uprooted.

Beneath the dark purple crystal lay nearly a ton of black crystal. Before they could even be surprised or shocked, Lu Yize had already absorbed the dark purple crystal, along with the crystal connected to it, into his space.

All the previously burgeoning superpowers were now contracted within, as if enveloped by a force, creating a calm surface that seemed to conceal some hidden danger.

Jiang Yue immediately reached out to support Lu Yize, who was already bleeding profusely. Her fear and anxiety were written all over her face. Chen Ping and Morse were also frightened by Lu Yize's blood-soaked appearance.

But they didn't even have a chance to react. Lu Yize opened a spatial channel and immediately pulled them into the spatial transmission vortex without giving them a chance to react.

By the time they realized what was happening, they were already back at the base. Lu Yize immediately ordered Chen Mingzhang to pay attention to the temperature changes, and at the same time, the ice-type ability users were to prepare.

Before they could even react, Chen Ping noticed that even someone as indifferent to heat as himself was sweating profusely. When he activated his special ability ring, he discovered that the indoor temperature was steadily rising.

However, Chen Mingzhang's side reacted quickly, and the indoor temperature was immediately stabilized, but the outdoor temperature soared rapidly as if it were going crazy.

Lu Yize's blood had stopped seeping out, but he hadn't had time to wash it off, and he looked a bit creepy. Morse asked uncertainly, "Are you alright? You absorbed so many black crystals, are you okay?"

Lu Yize didn't have time to worry about what was happening inside the space. He only noticed the change in the temperature of the seawater and the melting of the ice after absorbing the dark purple crystal into the space.

However, apart from the initial shock of the supernatural power, the dark purple crystal did not have a significant impact on Lu Yize for the rest of the time.

"It's alright. Morse, go and add some extra protection to the outer layer to prevent the huge temperature difference from causing the outermost protective shield of the base to crack. Chen Ping, go and keep the others in the base calm."

After the tasks were assigned, Morse and Chen Ping did not delay. Chen Mingzhang even cut off the heating in the base and found other ice-type ability users to take over.

The outside temperature has risen from nearly minus 200 degrees Celsius to the current 37 degrees Celsius, and it is still climbing.

The temperature continued to rise. Xie Hongyang replicated his ice-type ability, inputting the ability into the center. The entire layer of frost covered the magma that Morse released forward and then solidified, becoming a protective layer outside the base.

Meanwhile, the cold air continued to spread. Zheng Lin, a plant expert, used the tree canopy to block the excessively glaring light. These trees, which Zheng Lin had nurtured, stood in the center, trying their best to regulate the temperature.

The temperature outside the base continued to rise, and Xie Hongyang and the others dared not relax for a moment.
