Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

”I really do envy our CEO at home!”

Li Nian looked at the ceiling, but his brainwaves had already tuned into the various zombies’ brainwaves to see how his former CEO was doing.

He was happily grilling skewers with the very people who had once knocked his whole family flying!

Even from a distance, Li Nian could feel Wang Lu’s joy in grilling.

Li Nian felt very envious of this.

He also wanted to eat skewers, but he couldn’t taste anything.

So frustrating!

”It’s just as well. Now he doesn’t need to cry out asking to be bitten by zombies. It’s really exhausting to control zombies from biting him!”

Li Mo’s pupils unfocused, while his brainwaves were also observing Wang Lu’s actions through the various zombies.

Feeling a slight relief in his heart, this guy just didn’t care about his human body, stubbornly sticking his fingers into zombies’ mouths.

It’s truly an insult to zombies’ instincts!

”Xiao Nian, is our CEO’s brain not working properly? Isn’t being human good enough? He insists on turning into a zombie. Thankfully, we know him and always protect him, or he’d be wandering who knows where by now!”

Old man Li Cheng couldn’t help but grumble.

Clearly, the Zombie King’s entire family easily watched Wang Lu’s actions through brainwaves.

Wang Lu, he was the CEO of their family business.

Their family was very satisfied with Wang Lu’s work.

He never took kickbacks and never deceived the Li Family for his own benefit.

He diligently completed every project at work.

Therefore, the powerful brainwaves of the Li Family sent a strict order through the zombies of Shanghai.

They could eat anyone, but not Wang Lu.

Such an excellent employee must be protected, just in case the world returns to peace and the apocalypse ends, so they could have him back as the company’s CEO!

This is why Wang Lu was never chased by zombies and why they would run away when they saw him.

Protected by three Zombie Kings, it’s hard for him to even get bitten by a zombie!

No matter how much the Zombie King family protected Wang Lu, they couldn’t stop Wang Lu’s faulty brain, as he insisted on wanting to be bitten by a zombie.

He just didn’t want to be human anymore!

It really irritated the Li Family.

Only after becoming a zombie did they realize that being human was better, since they could live in a safe base without worrying about human extermination or zombie enslavement.

They could also enjoy various delicious foods and clap along with beautiful girls...

In short, the Zombie King family was very envious of Wang Lu, thinking that the human body was most important.

But they couldn’t do anything about Wang Lu not wanting to be human; the guy just didn’t want it!

The situation between Wang Lu and the Zombie King family was—

Wang Lu desperately wanted to be bitten by a zombie, but the Zombie King family couldn’t let a zombie bite their dim-witted CEO.

Both sides were really worn out by their own ideas!

”He’s not brainless, he’s just stubborn; he insists on doing whatever he sets his mind on,” Li Nian said quietly. ”It’s precisely because of this that our company can make so much money. Even when his wife cheated on him, he didn’t go home when called to catch the lover because he was overseeing a project then.”

That’s just how earnest he is.

That’s just how stubborn he is.

That incident was well-known, and Li Nian heard about it but Wang Lu never did—he was focused entirely on work.

When Wang Lu returned home, naturally he didn’t see the third party (they had already showered and fled).

Not witnessing it firsthand, Wang Lu didn’t believe what others said and thought his wife hadn’t cheated.

That’s just how earnest and stubborn he is!

Later, Li Nian hinted madly to his CEO, even giving gifts at New Year full of green items.

Green tea, matcha cake, a stack of fifty-yuan notes... plus a box of green vegetables for Wang Lu.

He tried both hints and direct suggestions, but Wang Lu kept gifting surprises to his wife.

Saying his brain didn’t work right was warranted.

After all, normal people would have understood, gone home to divorce, and cut their losses then.

Yet his work had no faults; his unique train of thought kept pulling the company back from the brink of disaster.

The summary is, this guy can work, but in life, he’s an idiot.

”Sigh, our CEO really isn’t good with people; his emotional intelligence isn’t great,” Li Cheng acknowledged what Li Nian said, nodding. ”Zombies in Shanghai don’t bite him. A normal person would be trying hard to collect supplies, going where others can’t, and just live well, but he munches on bread every day, not using this advantage at all!”

Li Nian rubbed his temples, always feeling a headache.

Though he couldn’t feel any pain, just thinking of their CEO gave him a terrible headache.

Just short of letting a zombie cut out a crystal core for Wang Lu!

”Forget it, forget it, let’s not think about it for now. At worst, let zombies bring him food later.” Li Mo waved a hand, lazily lying on the sofa, ”We’ve searched all over Shanghai and haven’t found the strange human the boss asked us to find. What should we do?”

They could only go out to search.

But the outside world was too dangerous, and their family was really scared!

”We can only go out. Tomorrow, we must be more careful, let zombies scout ahead, avoid powerful humans, and also avoid strong zombies,” Li Nian rubbed his temples hard again.

Feeling a bit depressed.

They didn’t know if their family’s strength would get them killed by someone immediately when they go out.

This was unknown!

――In reality, for Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming to ask this family for help meant they were the most formidable Zombie Kings in Shanghai.

The reason they were afraid was because they were timid; and they were timid because they were rich.

Afraid of dying before spending all their money.

The whole family collapsed on the sofa, looking at the sky outside, feeling that even the clouds were dangerous.

Suddenly, the Zombie King family of three jumped up from the sofa and rushed toward the stairs quickly.

In less than a minute, the entire Zombie King family stood neatly in the living room on the first floor of the building.

The three Zombie Kings slightly bowed their heads, silently staring at their toes.

They were shaking uncontrollably.

Just now, they simultaneously sensed their boss’s presence.

This terrifying presence almost made them kneel directly to the ground.

At the first moment, they ran to the first floor to wait for the boss’s orders.

Though their boss liked cute snacks (his motorcycle’s trunk was full of them, and apparently baby formula too).

In reality, he could control any Zombie King with a wave of his hand, and even a slight leak of his terrifying presence made it hard for them to control their knees.

Li Cheng was well-educated and knowledgeable, with research on various animals.

Based on his observations, he concluded that all animals, like humans, have a peer they trust the most.

Humans have this too, though not everyone trusts the same person. Some trust celebrities, some their parents, and some their partners...

As for zombies, with their strict hierarchy, there would definitely be a king.

Ordinary zombies unconditionally obey High Rank Zombies, and in the same way, all Zombie Kings will be dominated by the brainwaves of a Zombie Emperor.

Li Cheng believed that the Zombie Emperor was surely their boss.

Because they never felt the same terrifying presence from any other Zombie King.

The Zombie King family patiently waited for Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, like elementary students preparing for class.
