Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

The Xiao Lan Zombie seemed oblivious to Song Hongfei’s voice, merely keeping its gaze on Bai Xiqin, a trace of worry hanging on its decayed face.

Song Hongfei took another step forward, reaching out with a hand to touch the Xiao Lan Zombie, but just as he was about to touch its hair, he couldn’t bring himself to place his hand on its head.

It wasn’t fear, it was heartache.

Because he saw a piece of wood impaled on the back of the Xiao Lan Zombie’s head. It hadn’t pierced the brain but was embedded into the skull.

Black blood oozed along the wood, trickling down from the back of the head, along the dress, all the way to the ankles.

The closer he got, the clearer he could see the decayed flesh on her body, some of which clung to just a tiny bit of skin, hanging on, ready to drop off at any moment.

Song Hongfei’s face was streaked with tears, their family’s little princess had never suffered such grievances.

How had their beautiful little princess ended up like this?

Yet, even so, he felt somewhat fortunate in his heart.

Thankfully, he could see his daughter one more time.

Thankfully, his daughter still had the chance to become a zombie.

Even if she became a zombie, she was still the Song family’s eldest daughter, Song Wenwen.

Song Hongfei’s fingers tightened, forcing himself not to touch Song Wenwen’s hair.

Her body was covered in decayed flesh; Song Hongfei feared that if he touched her, the flesh would fall off, even though she was a zombie and couldn’t feel pain, he still treated her as the little princess she once was.

Afraid of hurting her even a little.

Song Hongfei rubbed his eyes hard and glanced at Zhang Yiming and Fan Tangtang, his heart a mix of emotions.

The Zombie King should be the enemy of humans.

Yet, they could control their daughter who had turned into a zombie; if possible, Song Hongfei didn’t want to be enemies with the Zombie King anymore.

Because he now had no reason to hate the Zombie King.

Before, it was to protect the base; now, it’s to protect his daughter.

If the Zombie King were to be eliminated, his daughter would also...

In an instant, Song Hongfei thought about many things; he thought about so much, but never once considered harming his daughter.

Song Ning felt the same way.

While treating Bai Xiqin’s wounds, he thought about how this girl was protected by the Zombie King, and the Zombie King hunted Feng Ge for revenge.

That meant humans and zombies could coexist peacefully.

Did that mean they could also be friends, be family, with zombies just like this girl?

This thought had never occurred before.

In the past, he detested zombies to the extreme, immediately extracting the crystal cores from their brains upon seeing them.

Never had any semblance of mercy.

Now, seeing his sister turned into a zombie, Song Ning’s only thought was to protect his sister, making sure no other Superpower User harmed her.

The Song family had assets worth billions before the apocalypse, and they were a true wealthy household, yet they didn’t have those bad habits of some rich people.

Everyone had proper values, no affairs or scandals of any kind; they lived together harmoniously.

So, they cherished every family member deeply, especially Song Wenwen, whom they genuinely treated as their little princess.

The most beloved little princess turned into a zombie; they felt heartache, yet were somewhat grateful to fate for this arrangement.

Thankfully, thankfully, it wasn’t as eyewitnesses said, left without a corpse, without even a chance to become a zombie.

Even if she became a zombie, they would protect her just like before, making sure not to let anyone harm her this time.

Song Ning made up his mind in his heart, the green glow emanating from his hand growing more intense.

He understood that healing Bai Xiqin was their breakthrough.

Otherwise, they would perish at the hands of the zombies; those two Zombie Kings would not spare them.

Sweat seeped on Song Ning’s face, his mental energy nearly exhausted, yet he dared not stop.

He had to heal Bai Xiqin, and he had to survive.

Only by surviving could he protect his family.

Leng Yebai remained motionless, holding Bai Xiqin, his eyes fixed on the wound on her forehead.

In his mind, the scenes from his previous dreams resurfaced.

He and Xiao Niu were tied to a bed with restraints, subjected to various experiments by people in white lab coats; some would cut their skin with scalpels to observe the healing speed of a Superpower User’s wound.

Some injected them with various drugs, drew blood...

He hadn’t thought of these blood-soaked scenes from his dreams in a while, instinctively choosing to ignore them.

But seeing the red blood on Bai Xiqin’s forehead, all those carefully buried memories appeared before him vividly once again.

He felt a chill to the bone, yet still gently held Bai Xiqin, afraid to hurt her.

Bai Xiqin felt her head was heavy and groggy, her eyelids felt so heavy she couldn’t open her eyes.

She tried several times, then finally gave up.

Thinking to herself, could this be sleep paralysis, having consciousness but unable to move her body?

Bai Xiqin sighed inwardly, thinking it was because she chose such an overwhelming topic for her graduation thesis that she was in such a brain-fried state, even having sleep paralysis while napping on the weekend at home!

Looks like she really needs to find someone on Taobao to help write her thesis.

The graduation thesis was too hard and it had to be plagiarism-checked; she felt her brain cells were dying off!

Bai Xiqin didn’t know how long had passed; she tried struggling a couple of times again but still couldn’t move her limbs.

Suddenly, Bai Xiqin felt like she ”saw” a green glow.

Instinctively, she reached out for it in her mind.

In a daze, Bai Xiqin finally opened her eyes.

”Ah! My eyes!”

Bai Xiqin instinctively covered her eyes, the intense light blinding her, making it difficult to keep her eyes open.

When did the light in her room get so bright!

”Xiao Niu, are you alright?”

”Xiao Niu, you’re awake!”

The voices of two men rang out; Bai Xiqin was stunned for a moment, slowly moving her fingers, and saw Zhang Yiming shielding her from the sunlight overhead.

”Xiao Ming, what are you doing in my room?” Bai Xiqin was a bit dazed.

Zhang Yiming paused, ”Xiao Niu, what are you talking about?”

Bai Xiqin didn’t have a chance to say anything else as a cold-looking man appeared in front of her, and then she was embraced.

”Xiao Niu, you’re awake.”

The man’s voice was somewhat hoarse.

Bai Xiqin was slightly confused, looking bewilderedly up at Zhang Yiming, then at the red-eyed man before her.

”Who, who are you!”

Bai Xiqin pushed Leng Yebai away, standing up abruptly, but a sudden dizziness hit her head, and everything went black as if she was about to faint.

”Xiao Niu!”

Zhang Yiming quickly reached out to steady Bai Xiqin, only retracting his hand once she regained her balance.

”Xiao Niu, what are you saying? You... don’t recognize me?”

Leng Yebai looked at Bai Xiqin, who was on guard against him, his face showing urgency, instinctively moving towards Bai Xiqin.

Bai Xiqin looked at the stranger before her, feeling some pain in her heart, yet she still took a step toward Zhang Yiming.

”Xiao Ming, what happened here? Why is my house open to the sky? Was there an earthquake? Or has my family’s luck run out, and my dad finally got caught? Was all our property confiscated?”

Bai Xiqin rubbed her aching head, instinctively leaning towards Zhang Yiming.

Faced with an apocalyptic stranger and her old classmate Zhang Yiming, Bai Xiqin naturally felt more dependent on Zhang Yiming.
