Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Powerful Purification Ability

The soft, mushy banana was placed in Zhu Yan’s palm.

Its dead-fish-like eyes showed a hint of surprise as its nose cautiously sniffed.

A strong banana scent wafted towards its face.

It quietly took a bite.

The phrase ”melts in your mouth” was truly understood by it today.

”Chirp chirp chirp—”

Even Zhu Yan stopped pretending to be aloof and dropped its high-cold image.

It danced with joy as it ate.

The mutated panda adorably munched on roasted bamboo shoots sprinkled with chili powder, grimacing while continuing to eat.

The two beasts unconsciously moved a bit closer to Bai Xiqin.

Not only did this rich master have lots of fresh fruits, he also cooked pretty well.

As Zhu Yan and the mutated panda ate more and more joyfully, Bai Xiqin’s importance in their hearts grew.

Honorably becoming the first person not to be allowed to die.

A long-term meal ticket.

The faces of the mutated panda and Zhu Yan grew more adorable as they continued to chew, and while the Bai Family was not paying attention, they secretly took a few other skewers meant for the Bai Family.

Though it was not as delicious as roasted bananas and bamboo shoots, it was still edible.

In any case, things from the rich master were all good things.

Suddenly.

The mutated panda and Zhu Yan froze, disregarding the skewers and bananas they held, and looked towards the Yellow River simultaneously.

Their expressions instantly shifted from cute to serious.

”What’s wrong?”

Bai Yifan followed the gaze of the two mutant animals, only seeing the muddied water of the Yellow River.

The rotting bodies had been thoroughly burned clean, leaving only a layer of black ash under Bai Zhengxuan’s fiery superpower.

Besides those black ashes, nothing was left to prove the zombies had ever existed.

The mutated panda and Zhu Yan didn’t answer Bai Yifan, but after some hesitation, they put down their skewers and walked step-by-step towards the Yellow River’s water.

They stayed close together; accustomed to fighting alone, they now subtly shielded each other, almost as if preparing to fight side by side.

Bai Xiqin’s heart skipped a beat.

She had also felt it just now.

A sudden chill that made her feel watched by a ferocious beast.

Frozen.

Although only for a fleeting moment, her heart pounded fiercely.

She had a feeling that if facing the owner of that gaze head-on, the Bai Family stood no chance.

Bai Xiqin gazed distantly at the murky Yellow River water, her throat moving slightly.

”Grandpa, do you see anything different about the Yellow River water?”

”Different? No! It looks the same as always, murky with silt.”

Bai Zhengxuan studied the muddy river water with mild confusion.

Since its appearance, the Yellow River has always been murky with deep silt.

The Yellow River gains its name that way.

”Xiao Fan, do you think there’s something strange here?”

Leng Yebai frowned, looking towards Bai Yifan.

He too had sensed the cold feeling suddenly appearing in his heart just now.

”Strange place?” Bai Yifan shrugged and smirked, ”What’s strange about it? I think it’s quite normal, the only strange thing is the Yellow River water has always been this muddy yellow sand, how come, with so many zombies dying here, none of it dyed the river water a bit yellow!”

As Bai Yifan finished speaking, Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai instinctively looked towards the place where zombies had died and been burned.

Besides the ashes, there was really nothing else.

The black blood had been abundant initially, yet somehow, it seemed to have seeped into the silt, leaving no trace of black blood.

So many zombies had hidden in the Yellow River, constantly exuding black blood.

Even if one zombie had only leaked a bit, it should have dyed this area of the Yellow River water somewhat black.

Yet, the water here remains as murky as ever, not due to black blood murkiness, but because it has been like that for centuries.

Bai Xiqin suddenly recalled a post-apocalyptic legend about the Yellow River.

Yellow River water is rich in various substances; rice irrigated by Yellow River water is fragrant and sweet, increasing yields.

In the apocalypse, food is the most precious resource.

Even though Wood Ability Users can stimulate grain growth, the amount they can grow is limited.

To have enough food for a large safety base, land must be cultivated for planting crops.

Yellow River beach lands are the most fertile soils when the Yellow River doesn’t flood.

Yet these fertile lands can never again grow delicious rice.

The issue isn’t with the soil; there’s something strange in the Yellow River.

It’s said that superpower teams sent here to cultivate were all destroyed, without knowing if the opponents were powerful zombies or mutant animals.

”Everyone be careful, there should be powerful mutant animals in the Yellow River water.”

Bai Xiqin cautioned everyone in a low voice.

Then, together with Leng Yebai, they followed the mutated panda and Zhu Yan, walking towards the Yellow River water.

Bai Yifan blinked and quietly resumed standing at the center position, his body covered in a layer of yellow light.

The Bai Family had always trusted Bai Xiqin’s words without doubt, in response to her warning of danger, everyone adjusted their superpowers to the most active state.

The closer they moved to the Yellow River water, the softer the ground beneath their feet became.

Taking a deep breath, with no remaining zombie decay smell but only the unique silt aroma of the Yellow River.

Bai Xiqin bent down to grab a handful of silt from the soft ground.

Here, under Zhu Yan and the mutated panda’s struggles, the zombie blood had once splashed on the silt.

Now, the silt in Bai Xiqin’s hand is purely silt, with no trace of decay.

It’s quite unscientific.

Normally, black blood would remain on the land for some time as nature’s purification ability takes time.

Here, nature’s purification ability has reached a perverse level.

In just about the time for a barbecue, it seems all the black blood has been purified.

Bai Xiqin and the others halted at the edge of the Yellow River water.

The surface looked calm and undisturbed, while underneath there were many hidden currents.

That’s why many people see the Yellow River looking shallow, yet if they actually fall, adults couldn’t always swim back successfully.

The mutated panda and Zhu Yan stared fixedly at a calm section of the river, their fur standing straight.

They seemed to fear whatever was inside the water.

The Yellow River was too turbid, Bai Xiqin couldn’t see anything beneath the water.

”Sister, throw a fish to test it out.” Bai Yifan suggested.

Items from the dimension are always treasures; the mutated panda and Zhu Yan strongly wanted the bamboo shoots, bananas, and peaches from the dimension.

That’s because the dimension was irrigated with Spiritual Spring water, beneficial to the body if consumed.

In the dimension, a small river formed, flowing from the Spiritual Spring at the well platform.

Bai Xiqin had thrown some fish, shrimps, and crabs into the river, which had grown into pounds of delicious food.

The meat was delicate, juicy, and flavorful.

Bai Xiqin’s fingers twitched lightly, and a huge carp appeared out of nowhere, landing precisely where the mutated panda and Zhu Yan were staring.

The carp wriggled vigorously in the air before landing in the Yellow River, joyfully swimming around.

Suddenly, ripples stirred, and it seemed something consumed the carp.

With only slight ripples, the water quickly returned to tranquility.

So calm it was as if the carp had never appeared.
