Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

Thus, on a remote street in Shanghai, a very strange scene occurred.

The street was still the same as before.

As usual, there was dark black blood everywhere, and a green garbage truck along with a blue and white bus were parked right in the middle of the street.

Both vehicles were covered in black blood, with bodies lying behind them, clearly showing how fierce the recent battle had been.

And now, on the entire street, only a dozen zombies were left standing.

A Spiritual Zombie was repeatedly slamming against the bus’s front windshield, wild with fury.

Its forehead had already exposed bone, each hit producing a splatter of black blood, yet despite the massive impact, there wasn’t a single crack on the glass.

Beside the Spiritual Zombie, the dozen other zombies stood obediently, waiting for the moment to rush in and devour their prey.

The sound of banging was shocking, echoing through the whole street.

However, the scene inside the bus was in stark contrast to the carnage on the street.

Inside the blue and white bus, the Bai Family sat silently on the sofa, counting the number of times the Spiritual Zombie attacked.

They were honing their consciousness.

After being attacked by the Spiritual Zombie, their minds had become much more resilient.

Only Bai Yifan was struggling to vomit.

”Bang Bang Bang!”

After the one hundred and eighth wave of attacks, the Spiritual Zombie finally couldn’t hold on anymore.

Its brain burst, splattering the windshield.

The Fourth Rank Crystal Core fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

”Ugh― Finally done!”

Bai Yifan didn’t look up at the windshield and directly reached out to press the button to automatically wash the windshield.

A stream of clear water sprayed, washing away the black blood and brain matter.

”Roar——”

With the High Rank Zombie dead, the minions of the Spiritual Zombie couldn’t stand any longer and crazily charged at the bus and the green garbage truck.

Before they could pounce on the vehicles, they were ended one by one by steel needles.

In the sunlight, crystal nuclei reflecting light flew out from the zombies’ temples one by one, landing in the green garbage truck’s compartment.

The truck compartment had a specially made pocket, and the pocket was placed safely inside the compartment.

Usually, Uncle Liu would also throw the crystal nuclei inside after cutting them. Now, it was the fullest the pocket had ever been.

The crystal nuclei fell together, making a solid clashing sound.

Not even a street away, they had already collected quite a few crystal nuclei.

”Uncle Wang, are you guys okay?”

Bai Xiqin leaned over to the window and shouted toward the green garbage truck.

No one responded.

”Uncle Wang!”

Bai Xiqin shouted again.

Still, no one responded.

”Could they have been caught by zombies?”

Bai Zhengxuan stood up abruptly, his heart skipping a beat.

Bai Xiqin wiggled her fingers, using her control power to move Uncle Wang’s hand and pressed down on the truck’s window switch.

The Bai Family rushed to the window, looking toward the driver’s seat.

Inside the green garbage truck, two slightly chubby elders were lying straight on the seats, unconscious.

――Faintly, the sound of the two elders snoring resounded like thunder.

After several waves of spiritual attacks, the two elders felt a bit sleepy, so they simply lay down and slept.

The Bai Family listened to the deep snoring, their faces twitching fiercely.

”Uncle, wake up, the zombies are coming, hurry up and run!”

Bai Yifan called out toward the garbage truck while cleaning up his vomit.

Unfortunately, Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu still gave no reaction.

The snoring sounded like thunder, continuing unabated.

”Elders, it’s mealtime, pork and scallion dumplings, eat as much as you like!” Leng Yebai calmly said.

”Alright! Give me more!”

The two elders immediately opened their eyes, their eyes shining.

The Bai Family: ...

”Old Wang, Old Liu, can you be a bit more serious? We were just attacked by a Fourth Rank Zombie!” Bai Zhengxuan said with a look of pained grievance.

He also wanted to sleep and ignore everything in such a situation, but his heart wouldn’t allow it!

”I am serious!” Uncle Wang wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, saying with a serious face, ”Isn’t it time to eat?”

Didn’t you see that the street is filled with dead zombies?

It’s time to eat and replenish energy!

Bai Zhengxuan: ”...Yes.”

After worrying half the day, he was indeed hungry.

Although he barely fought in the battle.

That didn’t stop him from being hungry.

There were too many zombies in Shanghai; just this remote street had so many zombies. Bai Xiqin also decided not to continue further in for now.

Divide the spoils and eat first.

So, after burning the zombie corpses on the ground, the blue-and-white bus and the green garbage truck turned around and headed toward the outskirts of Shanghai.

Because they killed so many zombies where they last parked, there was always a rotten smell, so they drove in a different direction.

They didn’t go far before finding a place surrounded by greenery.

In the post-apocalyptic world, such places were becoming more common.

This place used to be a park, and in just a few short months, small trees as thick as a wrist had grown on the cement paths.

At a glance, it was a dense green, giving off a forest-like feeling.

Bai Yifan and Bai Anhai were making dumplings on the bus, preparing lunch for the day.

Bai Xiqin and the others took the Crystal Cores out of the green garbage truck, preparing to divide the spoils.

A pile of crystal nuclei lay shiny on the ground, about two thousand or so, with the one belonging to the Fourth Rank Spiritual Zombie being the most dazzling.

”I don’t want this thing; absorbing it is too troublesome, and it feels uncomfortable in my pocket when I sleep!”

Uncle Wang spread his hands, directly refusing to share the spoils.

”I want my share!” Uncle Liu’s face twitched, quietly joining the division of spoils.

Uncle Wang never absorbed crystal nuclei, yet his superpower increased every day, making Uncle Liu want to strangle this show-off all the time――unfortunately, he couldn’t beat him.

He wasn’t a freak like Uncle Wang; he had to absorb crystal nuclei.

The crystal nuclei were divided swiftly and neatly according to headcount.

Uncle Liu received more than the number of zombies he killed, smiling as he gathered the crystal nuclei together.

Since Uncle Wang didn’t take any crystal nuclei, the Bai Family also received more than the number of zombies they killed.

The Spiritual Zombie that suicided on the bus windshield belonged to the Bai Family.

Perfect spoils division.

The garbage truck’s compartment was relatively high, making it difficult for Uncle Liu to put things inside. Leng Yebai walked over to help.

The garbage truck’s compartment had been modified.

The compartment had two openings: one on top, which was a small opening where Bai Xiqin threw the crystal nuclei in.

There was also a side door, which could be opened to crawl inside and sleep.

Leng Yebai opened the side door, preparing to place Uncle Liu’s crystal cores in the area allocated specifically for him.

As soon as he opened the side door, the Bai Family saw several familiar boxes inside the compartment.

These cardboard boxes were the same type Bai Xiqin had in her space, bought in bulk.

They were rarely used, the only time being when they gave fruit to Zhu Yan and the Mutated Panda.

”Uncle, what’s in those boxes?” Bai Xiqin blinked.

”They once held bananas, peaches, and bamboo shoots. The bananas and peaches got eaten, and they were pretty good. The bamboo shoots weren’t finished; eating them raw didn’t taste good and were hard on the teeth.” Uncle Wang said frankly.

”Where did you get them?” Bai Xiqin was stunned.

When did Zhu Yan and the Mutated Panda become so generous?

The two of them were cunning; when were they willing to give others fruit?

”Stole them.”

Uncle Wang said righteously, without any shame.
