Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

”That’s right, I’m the only one who can help you see your wife come back to life.”

Wang Ge’s fingers gently tapped the ice coffin, producing a dull sound.

It seemed flippant and rude.

”And what is your purpose?”

The Base Commander looked at Wang Ge’s fingers, his eyes narrowing dangerously, a hint of fleeting killing intent flashing through them.

Nobody helps a stranger sincerely.

Unless there’s something in it for them.

If Wang Ge could really bring his wife back to life with a human body, maybe he would do anything Wang Ge asked without hesitation.

However, this was too absurd.

He couldn’t possibly hand his wife over to a complete stranger.

Moreover, bringing the dead back to life as a Zombie King might be possible, but to become a true human is impossible.

If that were the case, he could do it himself, without relying on others.

”I just want to be friends with the Base Commander, and I don’t ask much from you. Just lend me a hand when I need it, help me kill someone.”

At this point, Wang Ge’s usually calm demeanor became somewhat agitated.

The Base Commander noticed that Wang Ge’s fingers seemed to tremble slightly.

”Who?”

The Base Commander’s face showed no particular expression.

”The one who controls the True God Research Institute, which is also my father. When the time comes, I’ll notify you. You just need to agree to this condition, and I’ll make sure your wife is resurrected as a human.”

Wang Ge touched the mask on his face, and in the hollow holes appeared eyes filled with longing.

Regain freedom.

Not live under his father’s supervision. Just the thought of it felt pleasant.

Wang Ge chuckled softly, his shoulders shaking slightly with laughter.

Let that so-called father go to hell!

Let him face the judgment of the deceased family members.

And he would become the sole controller of the True God Research Institute.

Not for power, nor for truly becoming a True God.

Just to take revenge, revenge for everything from his childhood.

Then use the True God Research Institute to control the crystal core in his brain, to truly live, without being harmed by the energy of the crystal core in his brain.

That’s all.

The Base Commander’s eyes held a trace of confusion, ”If I kill that person for you, can you really bring my wife back to life? As a human?”

”Of course, as long as we have the crystal core from Zhang Chen’s brain. Her crystal core is the most special. It was supposed to be the crystal core of a dead person, yet she is alive. Similarly, it can also bring the dead back to life.”

Wang Ge looked at the confused expression on the Base Commander’s face, rubbing his fingers slightly, looking confident.

He wasn’t good at controlling people, but he knew how to tempt them with what mattered most to them.

In his view, as long as he offered something valuable, the other party would surely bite.

Whether Zhang Chen’s crystal core could turn a dead person into a human, Wang Ge didn’t know. At worst, it would just become a Zombie King.

Heh, this was not so important to Wang Ge; he just needed the Base Commander’s help to kill the old wolf and obtain the core data of the True God Research Institute.

The Base Commander stood still, eyes slowly closing, a vision of a woman in a pink cheongsam appearing in his mind, her lips slightly curved as she smiled at him.

That woman was so beautiful, so much so that he dared not approach; he simply watched from afar, afraid she would turn into a bubble.

”Have you thought it through? There’s only this one chance.” Wang Ge saw the Base Commander reminiscing about the past, and he pressed further, ”If you want your wife to return to your side sooner, just help me with one more thing!”

The Base Commander steadied himself, slowly opening his eyes, his voice somewhat hoarse, ”What help?”

Wang Ge squinted slightly, his voice somewhat seductive.

”The Bai Family is in the safe base, right? Send them to me. Each of their superpowers is very special, and I need to do research.”

The crystal core of Zhu Jiuyin in his brain was not so easy to control, and it still carried the risk of death. To survive, he needed to keep researching people with special abilities.

The Bai Family’s superpowers seemed no different from others, but to him, the differences were significant.

They didn’t tire easily, nor did they exhaust their abilities quickly. They evolved rapidly with no bottlenecks.

If he could be like them, he could fully claim Zhu Jiuyin’s crystal core as his own.

The Base Commander swallowed, but did not speak.

”I know you get along well with them, but how can a long-lost son compare to your wife? You can weigh the importance, can’t you?”

Wang Ge continued,

”Before the cataclysm, that person was already eyeing you. Your vast wealth could elevate the True God Research Institute further, but that person dilly-dallied, asking for many things, stalling until now without telling you.”

”I’m not like him. I just want the outcome I desire. You help me, I help you resurrect your wife.”

Finished, Wang Ge’s fingers tapped the ice coffin lazily again.

As if reminding the Base Commander of the person inside asleep for over twenty years, lying alone in the cold coffin, truly lonely.

Yet now, there was an opportunity to let her walk out of the ice coffin, to let her live again under the sun.

As long as the Base Commander nodded, this long-unfulfilled wish could be realized.

”Are you sure the one you resurrect is a being with living flesh and blood?”

The Base Commander opened his mouth, struggling to utter these few words.

”Of course, you’re so powerful, plus you have the Human Survivor Alliance backing you up. Are you afraid I’d deceive you? You don’t even have to sacrifice much, just a few people from the safe base. In this era, a few people disappearing mysteriously won’t be pursued.” Wang Ge said.

”I need to think about it.”

The Base Commander pressed his thin lips together, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

”Alright, I’ll give you two days to consider. Once you’ve made up your mind, I’ll help you resurrect your wife.”

Wang Ge extended two fingers, casually pointing at the ice coffin,

”Hope it’s not too long, the ice coffin must be pretty cold!”

Having said that, Wang Ge carelessly tapped the ice coffin with his fingers again, shrugged his shoulders, and walked towards the basement exit.

The Base Commander’s gaze followed Wang Ge’s figure as he slowly exited the basement.

Just as Wang Ge was about to leave the basement, the Base Commander suddenly spoke.

”Hey, I’ve made up my mind.”

The Base Commander walked over to Wang Ge.

”So quickly? Your answer is...”

Wang Ge elongated his words, evidently having already guessed the answer.

Dean Wang had long recognized the Base Commander’s capabilities, and the Base Commander’s deep affection for his wife had been thoroughly observed.

Therefore, Wang Ge could easily predict the choice of the Base Commander.

”I choose my wife.”

This time, the Base Commander’s voice carried no hint of emotion, firm in tone.

”Good, as expected of the Base Commander, strong and clear-minded.”

Wang Ge clapped, not too surprised.

His own view of familial ties was indifferent, so he understood that the Base Commander would forsake his son for his wife.

”No time like the present. Before dawn, let’s get the Bai Family out of here!”

The Base Commander’s tone was indifferent as he left the basement together with Wang Ge.
