Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

The dilapidated car drove all the way to the gate of Ming City Safety Base.

Mr. Yao adjusted his expression, making it much heavier, glanced at the busy gate, his lips curled into a sinister smile that quickly vanished.

He opened the car door, and the shriveled Mr. Yao effortlessly lifted Fatty Fan’s body, covered in red blood, walking out with a grave expression.

Seeing Mr. Yao’s demeanor, Yao Bei sneered and similarly carried Skinny Monkey’s corpse down from the car.

Subconsciously, the grandfather and grandson both positioned the bloodiest part of the bodies towards the people outside.

The red blood was glaringly bright in the sunlight, immediately attracting attention as they got out of the car.

Fatty Fan was a high-ranking figure in the safety base, with considerable strength and being the base chief’s brother-in-law; generally, no one dared to provoke him at the safety base.

Moreover, Fatty Fan was quite popular in the safety base.

Though he was lecherous, this was the norm at the safety base, where some had such desires, and others needed to eat.

Therefore, men at the safety base thought people like Fatty Fan were normal.

They even considered him quite manly because his superpower was formidable!

”Isn’t this Fatty Fan and Skinny Monkey? How did they... die?”

A man looked at the bodies on their backs and immediately rushed over, his pupils shrinking.

Not just him, many others nearby gathered around, everyone momentarily stunned.

This was the base chief’s brother-in-law; if the base chief’s wife found out, whoever did it would be miserable!

A small number of people were slightly gloating, eager to see who dared to be so bold!

”Um, they were beaten to death, just over some trivial matter.” Mr. Yao sighed with grief, ”I couldn’t beat them, could only bring their bodies back!”

”Even Mr. Yao couldn’t beat them?”

”Who dared to do this? No matter their strength, what could compel them to kill Fatty Fan?”

A few more voices echoed.

Mr. Yao was a rare Fourth Rank Superpower User at the small Ming City Safety Base, his strength almost matching that of the base chief.

Even such a High Rank Superpower User couldn’t defeat them, suggesting Fatty Fan had provoked someone very formidable.

”It’s just a woman; Fatty Fan wanted her to come to our safety base, failed, and it ended in a fight.”

Mr. Yao said nothing; Yao Bei ”explained.”

”What? Just because of a woman? What status can a woman have?”

A man shouted directly.

”Yeah! Yeah! Just give her a few buns, even if she doesn’t come, does she have the right to kill someone?”

At the small Ming City Safety Base, those defending the walls were primarily male Superpower Users; even ordinary people were men with greater strength.

Women mostly relied on their looks to survive.

There were powerful female Superpower Users, but they were few and almost typically relied on their abilities to make it to large safety bases instead of staying in such a small place.

Over time, this became a vicious circle.

A paradise for men, a hell for women.

As women’s status weakened, men grew increasingly chauvinistic, increasingly feeling they were born privileged.

This is the nature of humanity; when in a high position, they don’t see the people being belittled, nor would they elevate their status.

This isn’t something a few people can change.

After all, most women here were ordinary, without particularly strong superpowers, lacking strength equaled to inferiority.

”It’s Yunhua Safety Base’s people who did it.”

Yao Bei looked at the indignant men and said quietly.

Suddenly, the surroundings grew much quieter.

The strength of Yunhua Safety Base couldn’t be compared to Ming City Safety Base.

If not for this safety base understanding men’s minds better, they’d be more willing to go to Yunhua Safety Base.

Birds of a feather flock together.

They preferred ”freedom.”

”Yunhua Safety Base’s people think they’re so great! It’s just because they have a powerful Base Commander, isn’t it!”

A man mumbled, no longer commenting.

Seeing the silent onlookers, Yao Bei added a few more words,

”The reason why Yunhua Safety Base’s people are so formidable is because they aren’t short of Crystal Cores; they recently harvested so many, they can’t even spend them all, hence the arrogance. If we had as many Crystal Cores, we’d surely be as strong as them!”

After speaking, Yao Bei said no more, letting them imagine the possibilities.

Indeed, if there were enough Crystal Cores, there’d be no need to venture out for resources or risk infection by fighting zombies to harvest Crystal Cores.

”They killed a high-ranking leader of our safety base, they must compensate with a lot of Crystal Cores! This world can’t just let them run rampant!”

A man with thieving eyes turned his eyes and shouted loudly.

When someone dies, compensation with Crystal Cores is expected. With so many zombies besieging Yunhua Safety Base, they must’ve obtained many Crystal Cores, compensating a bit shouldn’t provoke strong opposition.

Furthermore, Yunhua Safety Base has been acting low-key recently; could it be because too many Superpower Users died during that zombie siege?

The juicy cheese of Yunhua Safety Base has long been eyed by surrounding bases.

It’s actually an opportunity.

If they can absorb Yunhua Safety Base’s Crystal Cores, perhaps they could directly become Shanghai’s largest safety base!

However, that’s Yunhua Safety Base, and they have a powerful Base Commander, which is their greatest fear.

The seed has been planted; the Yao family grandfather and grandson said no more and continued into the base chief’s office, leaving a trail of blood behind them.

More and more people gathered to watch along the way.

It was very clear that all the onlookers were men, and generally speaking, everyone seen at the safety base was male.

Occasionally there were women, all with vacant expressions, devoid of emotions, walking like zombies.

From time to time, a man would whisper to a woman, and after pulling out a piece of biscuit or a bun, he could take her away.

Such occurrences were the norm.

Precisely this norm attracted many such men and idle women to this safety base.

The Yao family hadn’t yet reached the base chief’s office when they saw a middle-aged woman in the distance, similar in build to Fatty Fan, rushing over!

”Brother! You died so miserably!”

The woman’s pig-like shriek echoed throughout Ming City Safety Base, her eyes filled with hatred, eager to devour whoever killed her brother.

Behind the obese middle-aged woman followed an even bigger fat man; walking even slower than Fatty Fan’s siblings.

He was indeed Fatty Fan’s brother-in-law, Ming Changchuan, the base chief at Ming City Safety Base.

When everyone failed to have enough to eat, only these three at Ming City Safety Base maintained such tonnage.

”What’s going on?”

Base Chief Ming saw Fatty Fan’s lightning-charred face, his gaze turned sinister.

Fatty Fan shared his tastes, bringing him many beautiful women, leaving him very pleased with this brother-in-law.

”It was the Yunhua Safety Base’s people who did it; they’re particularly arrogant. They didn’t need to die; instead, they chased right near our safety base and brutally finished him off.”

As he spoke, Mr. Yao intentionally showed everyone the uncoagulated blood at Fatty Fan’s chest.
