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

Chapter 172 Something is wrong

Lu Yize saw what Zhang Wenjing and the others were doing, but he didn't take it to heart. They were all adults and had to handle their own emotions.

The fifth squad leader turned his gaze to Xian Wenrui, who was speaking, and then several new phantoms appeared on the black wall.

"This is something you had Chen Mingzhang give to our base. It can store and use two different superpowers at the same time."

Xian Wenrui recognized his own design immediately upon seeing it. These were all made based on his own drawings, but he now had an improved version; the previous version was rather poor.

That was probably the cause of the explosion, but Xian Wenrui was not entirely sure, because according to his theoretical basis, there should be no problem; he had not yet found the cause of the last explosion.

“Mu Fei, you should know more about these supernatural weapons. Why don’t you explain them?” The Fifth Squad leader said to Mu Fei, who was staring at the weapons.

Mu Fei's evolved part is his brain, which has extremely strong data analysis capabilities. He pointed to what Fan Jian had created and said, "This kind of weapon that can fuse with supernatural abilities and exert a power beyond the original supernatural ability fluctuations is actually an excellent team battle tool on the battlefield."

"If every superhuman is equipped with the same weapons when fighting zombies or mutated test subjects in this laboratory, or if even ordinary people can use these weapons, then we will have the best advantage."

"Before the apocalypse, we humans were able to stand at the top of the food chain because we knew how to use tools and create our own civilization. Now we are just starting over. These superpowered weapons are not only created by us, but also by Xiyue and Beisha."

"Then why didn't they continue making them? I don't think Chen Mingzhang and the others were equipped with these weapons?" Zhang Wenjing asked, puzzled. In fact, the human body is fragile, so having these weapons would definitely be a good thing.

“Yes, if Xian Wenrui can do it, you should be able to too, although I feel that Xian Wenrui has a lot of talent in this area.” Fan Jian also asked with doubt.

Mu Fei glanced at Fan Jian, then looked away. "Well, Xian Wenrui is very talented in this area, but it's not like we haven't made these kinds of weapons before. However, these weapons seem to be restricted and cannot be mass-produced."

"Even these superpowered weapons, once they reach the third tier, will explode, just like the situation you mentioned before. Two second-tier weapons fused together should theoretically be much stronger than a third-tier weapon, but in reality, as long as they reach the third tier, no matter how we test them, the superpowered weapon will explode."

“I’ve tried thousands of times, but without exception.”

After Mu Fei said this, Lu Yize and the others understood why everyone was so used to him causing explosions; it turned out he had a long history of such incidents.

"After realizing that these superpowered weapons might have limitations, I tried to work in other directions. Smaller weapons or teleportation tools wouldn't have much of an impact."

"But later I tried out the mecha, and the damage I caused that time was greater than ever before." After Mu Fei finished speaking, he took off his clothes without saying another word, which made the girls present feel a little uncomfortable.

However, they were all worldly-wise people and were quickly forced to calm down because they saw the wounds all over Mu Fei's body, from his collarbone down to his waist and abdomen, all of which were caused by explosions.

"When I first started making mecha, theoretically I thought I could succeed 100%. I tried making small mechas countless times without any problems, but it wasn't until I created a life-size mecha that I was able to make a second-tier person perform like a third-tier person."

"To exert strength across social classes?" Fan Jian's expression turned solemn.

"Hmm, it can be achieved across different levels. I even sensed that besides superpowers, we should have another force right here." Mu Fei tapped his head.

"Aren't only zombie cores stomped on in our brains? What's in our brains?" Zheng Lin asked, not understanding.

Mu Fei withdrew his hand. "I'm not sure yet, but when I was inside the mecha, I had a feeling that what controlled the mecha was not a superpower, but a force emanating from the brain, most likely related to the mind, or to put it more simply, mental power."

"Mental power? Does it really exist? I haven't felt it. I thought only people with mental abilities had it."

"I'm not sure either. This is just my guess. I haven't done many experiments yet, and the mecha spontaneously combusted and exploded. If it weren't for the defensive storage ring I was wearing, I would probably have been seriously injured and unconscious."

Mu Fei's subordinates recalled the incident with lingering fear, "Captain, that wasn't just a matter of being seriously injured and unconscious. That was a third-tier storage ring. Luckily, it withstood most of the attack, otherwise you would be a pile of dust by now."

Mu Fei thought about it and agreed with him, so he nodded, "Yeah, if I had really been blown to bits that time, I'd probably be queuing up on the Bridge of Helplessness by now. Given the current state of the apocalypse, I probably wouldn't even be in the queue."

"Why do all the mechs after Tier 3 explode?" Lu Yize interrupted his lame joke and asked.

"I don't know, it's like there's some force controlling it." Seeing that they didn't seem to understand, Mu Fei reorganized his words, "To put it simply, you can think of it as the Heavenly Dao's constraint in the cultivation world. If you exceed the power that this world can withstand, it will blow you up."

"It exploded at level three? How come Brother Lu and the others are still alive?" Fan Jian glanced at Lu Yize, then looked at Chen Mingzhang sitting next to Lu Yize.

These two are already at the fourth rank, but they are both fine. Not to mention there is a fifth-rank zombie king who may be in the underwater laboratory, as well as other sea beasts at the peak of the fourth rank in other sea areas.

"It should be specifically designed for weapons and has nothing to do with people or alien beasts, but this force should also restrict us. There is a high probability that we will be unable to improve further after we advance to a certain level."

Mu Fei's words resolved some things that Lu Yize had never understood in his previous life: whether human or zombie, their peak state is only at the sixth level.

The reason why mechs, despite their power, did not become popular is largely because in the later stages of the apocalypse, even those at the first or second tier, whether superhumans or zombies, could hardly survive.

Therefore, mechs cannot be widely adopted. They are too expensive for ordinary people to afford, and those who can afford them find that they are not very useful. So others will not waste their time on them.

Instead of studying this, it's more important to think about how to improve your own abilities; that's probably more important than anything else.

Lu Yize said nothing more, but glanced silently at the weapon that had appeared on the wall and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
