Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: City No.1 Middle School

”Master, don’t listen to its nonsense, it can eat fifty pounds in one sitting!”

Qin Yuan flew onto Bai Xiqin’s shoulder and decisively exposed Taowu’s lie.

”You damn wasp, itching for a beating, huh?”

Taowu bared its teeth at Qin Yuan with a strange human-like face.

Like a dog about to bite.

”I’m not afraid of you!” Qin Yuan bragged, showing off its stinger, ”Do you believe I could kill you?”

”Stop arguing!” Bai Xiqin rubbed her forehead, ”You can eat as many fruits as you want!”

”...That’s great!” Taowu looked at Bai Xiqin with sparkling eyes, ”Then—can we add meat?”

Bai Xiqin’s mouth twitched, ”Alright.”

”Master, you’re the best!”

Taowu was moved to tears.

The family tidied up the space for a while and collected the ripe wheat before leaving.

It was already three in the morning.

The superpower users have extraordinary stamina, needing only a short rest to recover energy. If they absorb a crystal core, they won’t feel tired even after a whole day and night without sleep.

Even so, the family still lay on the bed to get some sleep.

Bai Xiqin couldn’t sleep in her room; she stood at the window looking outside.

The streetlights were still on, and besides the occasional zombie roar, there was nothing else.

An idea came to Bai Xiqin; she remembered there was a flying creature in her space.

With a thought, a creature the size of a mandarin duck, resembling a wasp, appeared in the room.

”Master! Did you need me for something?”

Qin Yuan’s eyes sparkled as it flew around Bai Xiqin several times.

”Can you help check outside where those zombies are gathering?” Bai Xiqin asked.

”What are zombies?” Qin Yuan was slightly confused.

”...They’re monsters with faces similar to Taowu’s and bodies like humans,” Bai Xiqin calmly explained.

”Got it!”

Qin Yuan happily replied and flew outside.

Feeling content with itself.

It was the first to be asked for help by the master!

Bai Xiqin sat on the bed with her eyes closed, holding a white crystal core in her hand.

The energy within the crystal core is superpower, and once absorbed by a superpower user, it can enhance their abilities.

In this apocalypse, it is hard for ordinary people and low-rank superpower users to survive.

Half an hour later, Qin Yuan returned.

”How was it?” Bai Xiqin quickly asked.

”Master, there are a lot of those ugly creatures that look like Taowu hiding in a yard to the south,” Qin Yuan obediently replied.

”What kind of yard?” Bai Xiqin asked again, ”About how far is it?”

”It’s a really large yard with several tall buildings and a big patch of green fake grass,” Qin Yuan recalled seriously, ”That place is less than a thousand zhang from us, and many more of those ugly creatures are running inside!”

Bai Xiqin’s heart skipped a beat.

A hundred zhang is over three hundred meters, so less than a thousand zhang is about three thousand meters.

A big yard with green fake grass can only be City No.1 Middle School!

And across from City No.1 Middle School is the pharmacy.

They had just cleared out the pharmacy!

”How many zombies are there inside?” Bai Xiqin’s face was serious.

”I don’t know, couldn’t check, the buildings are full of them, and many more ugly creatures are going inside,” Qin Yuan said.

There was a creak, and Bai Xiqin turned to see Leng Yebai.

Leng Yebai gently closed the door, his face also serious.

Apparently, he had heard Bai Xiqin and Qin Yuan’s conversation from the living room.

Since he started dreaming of Bai Xiqin, his senses became extraordinary, and even though Bai Xiqin’s house had good soundproofing, he could hear her breathing at night.

”This means a high-rank zombie that can control others has been born,” Bai Xiqin looked at Leng Yebai.

”What rank?” Leng Yebai stood in front of Bai Xiqin, staring into her dark eyes.

Those eyes held the stars, never tired of looking.

”To control that many zombies, it must be at least Fourth Rank!” Bai Xiqin’s eyes flashed with seriousness.

City No.1 Middle School was her alma mater, and she knew every building well.

The higher the rank of a zombie, the more it can control.

A high-rank zombie can cause a zombie tide, and no matter how powerful a superpower user, they can’t stop a zombie tide.

Did a high-rank zombie really appear on the first day of the apocalypse?

”I’m always here,” Leng Yebai said softly.

He didn’t know how to assure her, he only knew that as long as he was alive, he would protect her.

”Oh my, Master, your man is so cheesy! Can’t bear to watch!”

Qin Yuan covered its eyes with its transparent wings in a perverse manner, staring at Bai Xiqin with wide eyes.

Bai Xiqin’s ears turned a little red as she pretended to be calm and sent Qin Yuan back into the space.

”Let’s check it out during the day; if we can fight it, we will, otherwise, we’ll flee!” Bai Xiqin said.

”Okay!”

Leng Yebai couldn’t help but smile.

That odd-looking wasp sure has a way with words!

After pushing Leng Yebai out of the room, Bai Xiqin sat on the bed to continue absorbing the crystal core.

Leng Yebai took one last look at Bai Xiqin’s pink door, then sat in the living room and absorbed superpowers from a crystal core.

This time, there must be no regrets.

A sleepless night.

Morning.

The warm sunlight spilled over the city, spilling over the tightly closed windows.

The streets were still stained with crimson blood.

The water-sprinkling truck that came every morning didn’t come today.

Aside from the occasional roar from the apartment buildings, there was no sound.

Sizzling—

Bai Zhengxuan, Bai Anhai, and Leng Yebai were preparing breakfast, and the aroma of fried eggs filled the living room.

Leng Yebai washed a bowl by the faucet, and as he washed, the water stopped.

A minute later, the electric stove also stopped working.

”Why did the water and electricity stop today?”

Bai Anhai frowned.

Did the water and power plants both lose control simultaneously?

Bai Xiqin frowned and turned each faucet, but there was still no water flow.

She remembered that in her past life, it was nearly a week of staying home before the water and power were cut off.

”Let’s eat first! Fortunately, the meal is ready!”

Bai Zhengxuan sighed and brought the cooked dishes to the dining table.

This morning’s breakfast was simple: millet porridge, soup dumplings, and a few stir-fried vegetables.

Leng Yebai had started making the soup dumplings around five in the morning.

Bai Xiqin loved them.

”Sis, where are we going to gather supplies today?”

Bai Yifan was stuffing his mouth full of dumplings like a hamster.

According to the previous plan, today, they would either go to the science park to load light steel villas into the space or collect steel sheets from the metal sheet factory.

”No more gathering supplies,” Bai Xiqin glanced out the window, ”let’s go out for a walk today, and leave here in a few days.”

”Leave? Go where?”

Bai Yifan was taken aback.

This is his home, and the thought of leaving suddenly made him feel unwilling.

”Anywhere,”

Bai Xiqin slightly smiled, as long as family is around, anywhere isn’t aimless wandering.

There are high-rank zombies hiding here, so leaving is the best choice.

But before leaving, Bai Xiqin still wanted to see how powerful that high-rank zombie really was.

If they could eliminate it, they would be doing a service for the people.

Of course, all this is on the premise that the family is safe.
