Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Bai Xiqin’s Life Is Very Important

”Big sister, you said earlier that there’s something unusual around the Yellow River, and suggested we come here to fight monsters and level up. Do you think... we can still win?”

Bai Yifan picked his nose with a mischievous expression.

He really knows what not to bring up.

Bai Xiqin believes that the whole family venturing out would improve their superpowers more quickly.

Thinking that even before the apocalypse, the Yellow River was a mysterious place, with their family’s strength, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Unexpectedly, they had a setback.

Nature will never be defeated by humans.

”We can win. I think we just need some bait to lure it onto land, and we can take it on together,” Bai Xiqin said with a slight turn in her gaze.

”...Bait?”

Bai Yifan silently put down his finger and took a step back.

Alright, he knew what she meant.

”Yes, we need a capable, handsome, charming, knowledgeable, and well-informed young man, who just happens to be sixteen, to act as the bait.” Bai Xiqin looked at Bai Yifan with a subtle gaze.

”Ahem, I think we better not. It’s not easy for someone to grow up, who knows if he’ll turn into Bai Suzhen in the future!” Bai Yifan coughed lightly, quietly hiding behind Leng Yebai, and whispered, ”Brother-in-law, request backup.”

His elder sister’s words are never refused by their own family.

So, he could only turn to Leng Yebai for help.

The term ’brother-in-law’ made Leng Yebai’s mouth curve, his eyes meeting Bai Xiqin’s dark ones.

The words of comfort reached his lips but turned into a nod.

”Don’t worry, I’ll protect you. You can safely be the bait!” Leng Yebai said sincerely.

Bai Yifan: ...

He’s crying without tears.

The term ’brother-in-law’ doesn’t work much these days, so what should he call Leng Yebai in the future to gain a bit more standing at home?

Seeing Bai Yifan’s expression, Bai Xiqin’s lips curled slightly.

Of course, she knew that the giant snake beneath the Yellow River was not to be messed with. Even though she wanted to toughen the family, she wouldn’t use Bai Yifan as bait.

She simply found Bai Yifan foolish and wanted to tease him.

The fact is, occasionally teasing her brother can really lift her spirits.

”Chirp chirp――”

”Woo woo――”

The two silent brothers carrying the stuff suddenly started chatting.

Their chubby paws pointing at the direction of the Yellow River water at one moment, and then at Bai Xiqin and the bus in the next, waving frantically.

They were both ”talking” to Bai Xiqin, chattering away, with gestures accompanying their speech.

Bai Xiqin couldn’t understand.

Even if they spoke slowly, she wouldn’t get it.

But from their gestures, Bai Xiqin could guess a bit.

It probably meant they were trying to dissuade Bai Xiqin from going near the Yellow River.

They feared the giant snake inside might be dangerous.

The eyes of Zhu Yan and the Mutated Panda were filled with anxiety, watching Bai Xiqin’s puzzling expression, jumping in agitation.

No one else matters; only Bai Xiqin must be safe.

Her value is immense in their eyes; they are very concerned about her safety.

After all, if she were to die... she must first hand over all her bamboo shoots, bananas, and peaches!

”You guys don’t worry, I’m not going to take any risks.”

Bai Xiqin watched the two pudgy figures babbling and flailing around in concern for her, feeling a bit touched inside.

She didn’t expect creatures she hadn’t known for long to worry about her so much.

Seeing Bai Xiqin’s serious expression, Zhu Yan and the Mutated Panda felt slightly more at ease.

”Chirp chirp...”

Zhu Yan glared with dead fish eyes, chirping at Bai Xiqin for a long time.

It roughly meant: eat well, sleep well, don’t take risks, pay attention to safety. Basically—don’t die.

Unfortunately, Bai Xiqin couldn’t understand them and could only vaguely guess their meaning.

Nodding in agreement.

Besides nodding, she couldn’t chirp back.

She didn’t know this foreign language.

Seeing that Bai Xiqin really listened to its ”words,” Zhu Yan decided to take its brother and leave.

It couldn’t stay out too long, for fear that the fool at home would die of hunger.

Not only Zhu Yan wanted to go back, but the Mutated Panda also wanted to hurry home.

Also fearing the fool at home would starve to death.

Under the gaze of the Bai Family, Zhu Yan skillfully opened the car door, hoisted the round body of the Mutated Panda into the passenger seat.

Then, with a leap, it sat directly in the driver’s seat.

Releasing the handbrake, hitting the gas, steering the wheel—done in one go.

”Woo woo――”

Through the car window, the Mutated Panda was still shouting something at Bai Xiqin.

All were words of ”concern.”

Don’t die, live well, the bamboo shoots are still owed!

”Wait! Don’t go yet!”

Bai Xiqin stood in front of the truck, Zhu Yan’s proud face appearing slightly tense, even though the truck hadn’t started yet, its brakes were already slammed on.

Afraid of hitting its long-term meal ticket.

”Chirp chirp chirp!”

Zhu Yan shouted at Bai Xiqin in exasperation.

Can’t she pay a bit more attention to her life?

What if she dies?

How much would it hurt both it and its brother?

Bai Xiqin touched her nose and didn’t reply.

She didn’t understand anyway.

Bai Xiqin opened the fuel tank and took out a large barrel directly from the space, filling the tank full.

Seemingly, Zhu Yan and the Mutated Panda didn’t know how to refuel.

Once the tank was full, Bai Xiqin left the truck.

The two brothers gave Bai Xiqin a deep look, then drove off.

Clanking sounds.

The red semi-truck slowly headed towards the zoo.

It seems Zhu Yan plans to send its good brother home first, then head back to Azure Dragon Mountain.

”These days, my driving skills aren’t even as good as a monkey’s!”

Bai Yifan watched the semi-truck depart, his face twitching hard.

”Not just you, even Uncle Wang’s skills aren’t as good as Zhu Yan’s,” Bai Zhengxuan said, touching his chin seriously.

Uncle Wang drives too fast, it’s unstable, and easily chased by zombies.

On second thought, Zhu Yan’s driving is indeed steadier.

Bai Yifan pursed his lips, staying silent.

Who said his skills were bad?

He’s clearly very good, alright!

Sometime he’ll challenge Zhu Yan, see who’s more durable against crashes; Bai Yifan feels confident he won’t lose!

”It’s getting dark, where should we... go?”

Bai Zhengxuan glanced at the slowly sinking sun and then took another look at the mysterious waters of the Yellow River.

It really felt unsettling to sleep by the Yellow River.

”Drive towards that direction! Far away!”

Bai Xiqin decisively pointed in the opposite direction of the Yellow River.

”Got it!”

Bai Yifan immediately ran to the driver’s seat.

Afraid if he delayed, his elder sister would use him as bait.

He’s not afraid of dying; he just wants to live until he can legally get a marriage certificate with Xiao Ling’er.

Before leaving, Bai Xiqin took out a bucket, filled it with Yellow River mud, and stored it in her space before getting on the bus.

Why do the low-rank zombies still hide at the bottom of the Yellow River without the command of a high-rank zombie?

Why hasn’t the water quality of the Yellow River been contaminated by zombie blood?

The giant white snake in the Yellow River has already grown scales.

This white snake must be a very spiritual creature; such a creature shouldn’t be confined to the Yellow River, and should yearn for the ocean instead.

What is special about the Yellow River.

Perhaps the answer lies only in the mud.

The blue and white bus quickly left in the direction opposite to the Yellow River.

Out of the Bai Family’s sight, a massive shadow suddenly appeared over the muddy water of the Yellow River.

This shadow covered almost the entire stretch of the Yellow River, casting a mysterious aura over the entire water surface of the Yellow River.
