Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Can You Leave My Home?

”Little boy, we really are good people. You don’t need to be afraid. Where are your parents?”

Wang Yiyun couldn’t bear to leave the little boy here alone and asked an extra question.

”I don’t want to tell you.” There was a hint of stubbornness in the boy’s voice.

”Little boy, we really are good people. You’re in danger here alone. Why not come with us?”

Wang Yiyun’s maternal instincts surged.

The main reason was that the little boy’s soft voice was too adorable, making her want to help him.

”No, I’m not in danger here. Can you leave my house?”

There was a hint of plea in the boy’s voice.

”Little boy, do you want candy? If you come with us, there will be lots and lots of candy!” Bai Xiqin tried to entice him.

The boy’s voice sounded like he was only about five or six years old. Leaving him here alone would be a death sentence for him.

It’s hard for a child to survive in the apocalypse.

”Can I have... two candies?”

The little voice carried a hint of excitement.

”Yes, if you come with us, I’ll give you two candies every day,” Bai Xiqin said gently.

Creak.

The door slowly opened a crack.

A milk-white Little Bun stood behind the door, looking shyly at Bai Xiqin, ”Sister, I want candy, but I can’t go with you.”

”Why not come with us?”

Bai Xiqin’s eyes lit up as the soft, cute Little Bun in front of her looked like a child from a New Year’s painting.

”I have to wait for Grandpa to come back. I hope you can leave here before he returns, okay?”

Fan Tangtang looked up, speaking earnestly to Bai Xiqin.

”Your grandpa?” Bai Xiqin was taken aback.

Then she realized it made sense. How could a child survive in a factory alone for half a month? There must be an adult with him.

”Yes, my grandpa went to find food for me,” the little boy’s eyes, like black gems, curved slightly, ”My grandpa is the best. He’s the best grandpa in the world.”

”Are you sure you won’t come with us?”

Bai Xiqin looked at the soft, cute bun with slight disappointment.

Leng Yebai pursed his thin lips, glanced at the exquisite child behind the door, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Ha, what’s so cute about this?

With his and Xiao Niu’s looks, they’ll surely have an even cuter and softer child someday!

As long as Xiao Niu is willing, he’s anytime ready!!

”I can’t go with you. My grandpa wouldn’t agree.” The little boy looked at Bai Xiqin eagerly, ”Will I still get candy?”

”Yes!”

Bai Xiqin reached into her pocket, pulled out two chocolates, and handed them to Fan Tangtang.

Fan Tangtang cautiously glanced at everyone, slowly reached out his fingers, and carefully took them.

Bai Xiqin noticed that Fan Tangtang’s white, tender fingernails were filled with black dirt.

Looking up along his fingers, his sleeves and clothes were also covered with soil.

Bai Xiqin paused slightly, remembering that children in the apocalypse were usually like this. Her family’s living conditions are so good that she almost forgot the true situation during the apocalypse.

”Tangtang, you really aren’t coming with us?”

Wang Yiyun, still hopeful, asked again.

”No, I have to wait for my grandpa. He went to find food for me. We need to find mom and dad together afterward!” Fan Tangtang stubbornly shook his head and, clutching the chocolate, said, ”Can you please leave my house soon?”

”...Okay then!”

Wang Yiyun felt a slight disappointment.

This kid really is too cute, even more delicate and adorable than Bai Yifan was as a child.

It’s disappointing not to take him along!

”Tangtang, do you want anything else?” Bai Anhai put on a gentle smile, trying to look kind, ”We’ll bring you something later, okay?”

The grandfather and grandson in the apocalypse were having a tough time, and seeing the cute, exquisite boy, Bai Anhai thought he should help as much as possible.

”No need.” Fan Tangtang’s lips curved slightly as he clutched the two chocolates in his hand and said, ”I just want these two chocolates!”

Bai Anhai, seeing the boy was not swayed and didn’t ask for anything, felt a bit of a headache.

If it were his own son, he’d settle it with a spanking.

But the boy in front of him was so cute and exquisite, one couldn’t bring themselves to lay a hand on him!

”Sister, can you please leave soon?”

Fan Tangtang looked at Bai Xiqin pleadingly, his eyes watery as if he would cry at any moment.

”...Fine, we’ll leave in a little while.”

Bai Xiqin hesitated slightly but ultimately decided to leave.

Fan Tangtang has his grandpa’s protection. Life is hard, but that’s how it is in the apocalypse.

There are too many kids like this, and they can’t adopt every single one they see.

It’s unfair to his grandpa; perhaps this child is the old man’s only relative.

With that thought, Bai Xiqin was relieved.

”Alright, we’ll leave shortly. You go inside and lock the door!” Bai Xiqin said.

Fan Tangtang’s eyes brightened upon hearing Bai Xiqin say they would leave, and he quickly retreated inside and locked the door.

Wang Yiyun, after a moment of hesitation, also felt relieved.

It seemed they weren’t fated to be with this child.

They exchanged glances, leaving a large bag at the door.

The bag contained some supplies, enough for the grandfather and grandson to live on for a while.

Besides the supplies, there was a small bag of Crystal Cores, just as payment for the light steel villa.

Crystal Cores are the gold of the apocalypse, ensuring some security for the grandfather and grandson.

The group took a lap around the villa factory, clearing out all the zombies inside and setting it ablaze until nothing remained.

After searching a while, they found two built light steel villas.

Both villas were three stories high, well-furnished and spotless inside.

Bai Xiqin stored the two light steel villas into her space and then added some iron sheets.

Besides building light steel villas, the factory also manufactured iron houses, so Bai Xiqin stored a lot of iron sheets.

When the time comes, she’ll establish several large warehouses in her space, organize the resources properly, and tidy up the chaotic space.

After storing the items into the space, they took one last look at Fan Tangtang.

Fan Tangtang urged them again to leave quickly, expressing that he didn’t want to leave with them.

So, they abandoned the idea, telling him before they left that there were supplies left for him at the entrance.

After leaving the villa factory, they cleared out the nearby zombies.

Finally, they boarded the bus and drove away.

One hour after the bus left.

A hideous zombie, gripping a bloody arm, slowly approached the villa factory. The zombie’s stiff body passed through a broken fence and entered the factory.

This was an elderly zombie, its vacant eyes, face missing a large chunk, revealing black blood.

Presumably, this wound was from a zombie bite before death, and after turning into a zombie, the facial wound hadn’t healed at all.

The elderly zombie walked step by step to the door of the house where Fan Tangtang was hiding.

Bang bang bang!

The elderly zombie didn’t know how to knock, continuing to walk forward.

Even when it hit the door, it kept walking, its feet making a banging sound against the door.

The door opened immediately, and the elderly zombie continued walking inside.

Fan Tangtang cautiously peered outside, not seeing the family from before, and let out a slight sigh of relief before quickly closing the door.

After tiptoeing to lock the door again, Fan Tangtang finally flashed a smile at the elderly zombie.

”Grandpa, you’re back. Thank you for bringing me food.”

Fan Tangtang grinned, extending his hands.

A bloody arm dropped from the elderly zombie’s mouth, landing right into Fan Tangtang’s young hands.
