Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Died in Vain

Bai Xiqin left some crystal cores for the two little snakes, and Xiao Qing and Bai Suzhen sneakily tucked them away.

Afterwards, the two little snakes hid in the ceiling, motionlessly staring at Captain Zhu.

Their pea-sized eyes glowed with a greenish light, breathing slowly, extremely quiet.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai climbed down from the balcony and left.

Ten minutes later, the fragrance lingering in the air had significantly faded.

The patrolling Superpower Users outside seemed a bit dazed, rubbed their bleary eyes, and continued their patrol.

Completely unaware of what had just happened, just feeling quite exhausted.

The dazed look on Captain Zhu’s face cleared up. He glanced at the messy room, flashes of scenes swept through his mind.

Scenes of him being upset, smashing things around.

The reason for his bad mood was nothing else but issues with Xiao Song.

It (he) still only knew how to devour flesh, showing no signs of evolving into a High Rank Zombie, let alone turning human.

Thinking about this made Captain Zhu’s upright face turn a bit bitter.

Captain Zhu was just puzzled; Xiao Song had been like this for more than just a day or two, why was he so unsettled?

Having smashed things, Captain Zhu didn’t think much more, as night fell, he rubbed his temples, closed his eyes, and slept on the sofa.

Morning.

The sun rose, spreading warm sunlight across the safe base.

A piece of bad news emerged from the safe base: Captain Zhu, one of the ten captains, was bitten to death by a snake.

Before he died, his body was covered in wounds, suspected to have been murdered.

Apart from the shock, very few people wanted to investigate the truth about Captain Zhu’s death.

Dead is dead, what’s the point of uncovering the truth?

Captain Zhu was a Third Rank Superpower User, whoever killed him wouldn’t be an easy target.

Moreover, Captain Zhu’s clandestine treatment of Superpower Users wasn’t kept completely under wraps, the higher-ups didn’t deal with him was to maintain the safe base’s reputation.

If they dealt with him it would be definitive proof, which wouldn’t look good.

Suddenly dying might be a good thing.

Those loyal to Captain Zhu, at the moment of his death, immediately defected to others.

Captain Zhu is dead, why risk offending a possible Third Rank Superpower User for revenge?

Besides, Captain Zhu had not only wounds but also snake bite marks.

It’s uncertain whether he was beaten to death or bitten to death.

Captain Zhu just died in vain like this.

Some did suspect who might have done it.

The biggest suspect was Captain Zhu himself.

Because everything in his home was smashed to pieces yesterday, early in the morning, Captain Zhu’s members were busy getting replacements.

This was just suspicion; whether he did it, no one delved further.

They have guns.

No matter how strong a Superpower User is, they may not dodge bullets.

Everyone at the base was speculating, but the bus engine roared.

Bai Yifan sat at the driver’s seat, ready to drive.

”Dad, can I not drive?”

Bai Yifan turned his head to ask his dad sitting on the sofa.

”No,” his dad said indifferently.

Bai Yifan indeed hit people quite hard, but now he was in the car, what did it matter whom he might hit!

”Aren’t you afraid I might hit someone again?” Bai Yifan pouted.

”No worries, you’re underage.” His dad yawned, while still holding crystal cores absorbing them, ”Rest assured, even in the apocalypse, you won’t go to jail, with me here, don’t worry even if someone reports you!”

Who makes us lawyers?

Can’t forget one’s breadwinning skills.

Bai Yifan: ...

What could he say?

After nearly a month of idling at the safe base, the bus finally roared again, heading towards the safe base gate.

Bai Zhengxuan leaned against the window, took a deep look at the green garbage truck, and waved his hand.

The elderly team temporarily disbanded, opportunities, hopefully, to regroup later!

Inside the garbage truck, Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu were snoring away, completely oblivious to the bus’s start.

Both uncles had confidently declared last night that they’d see Bai Zhengxuan off in the morning.

Now, the snoring only grew louder.

Beside Zhao Zhen and the two uncles, no one knew they were going out on a trip today.

Zhao Zhen’s family of three stood on the path to the living area, energetically waving at Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan held the steering wheel with one hand, excitedly waving at Zhao Zhen.

A sudden twitch, the bus jolted forward, speeding towards Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen’s dad quickly pulled his son and daughter-in-law away.

The bus grazed Zhao Zhen’s clothes, driving outwards.

Zhao Zhen’s family: ...

The sadness of parting dissipated a lot instantly.

The number of survivors searching for supplies today remained sparse.

The picture of the High Rank Zombie was posted at the safe base’s gate, fake fear is impossible.

Fan Tangtang was so small yet could turn Captain Zhu’s subordinates into zombies in a short time, no one dared venture out during such turmoil.

Unless there’s truly nothing to eat.

Everyone feared they might retaliate.

The blue-white bus sped within the safe base, anyone seeing it, would stay far away.

Afraid of being hit

Rumors at the safe base spread: the young driver doesn’t recognize kin, even hit his dad, crazier than Uncle Wang!

”Sis, do you know where Brother Zhang lives?”

Bai Yifan asked Bai Xiqin while driving, turning his head.

Bai Xiqin looked at Leng Yebai.

Thinking Leng Yebai and Zhang Yiming were so close, he should know.

Leng Yebai shook his head, ”I’m not familiar with him!”

Bai Xiqin pouted.

Forget it!

She felt Leng Yebai cared more about Zhang Yiming than her own sister!

No need to worry about not knowing Zhang Yiming’s place, Bai Xiqin released Qin Yuan out the window.

Let it locate Zhang Yiming’s whereabouts.

The bus swiftly raced out of the safe base, speeding down the empty streets.

The zombies on the streets, dazed, attracted by the bus’s roar, had no time to react as it left them far behind.

Liu Jing and Wang Yiyun excitedly watched outside the window.

They never expected one day they would venture into a zombie lair.

Bai Zhengxuan and Bai Anhai looked somber.

Zombie lair!

The apocalypse resulted from too many zombies, they were heading straight into a trap!

Were it not for them believing Zhang Yiming is a good young man, they wouldn’t have come!

Furthermore, it’s not their decision at home.

All they could do was shaking while heading there!

”Xiao Fan, later when the bus stops outside, if things go wrong, floor the pedal and we’ll dash off!”

Bai Anhai was slightly uneasy.

He knew Zhang Yiming was a good young man, but he had the whole family with him!

What if other zombies didn’t behave?

Everyone would howl together?

”Dad, don’t worry, Brother Zhang won’t harm us!”

Bai Yifan blinked.

He was indeed shocked knowing yesterday, but thinking since the apocalypse, he and Brother Zhang spent several times together alone.

Never had he seen Brother Zhang growl at him, even gifted him milk powder.

Such a Zhang Yiming, even as a zombie, was a good zombie.

Bai Anhai sighed, saying no more.

Even he felt Zhang Yiming was different from other zombies.

But he wasn’t alone, bringing the whole family.

A small mistake could wipe out everyone.

Not for himself, he must also consider the family.

”Master, found him!”

Qin Yuan flew in from the car window, landing on Bai Xiqin’s shoulder.
