Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

Half an hour later.

Zhang Yiming gently rubbed his temples with one hand, looking at the two people in front of him with a somber expression.

A pot of pork rib soup had already been placed on the table.

In front of Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and Bai Yifan, each had a big bowl filled with pork ribs.

A plump white cat sprawled on the ground, gnawing on a piece of rib, making a gurgling noise in its throat.

Bai Yifan held a large piece of rib in his hand, happily nibbling on it, his mouth covered in oil.

It was so delicious that he squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

”So fragrant!”

Bai Yifan couldn’t help but give Zhang Yiming a thumbs up, then continued to gulp down the ribs.

A mouthful of ribs, a mouthful of soup.

Just as Zhang Yiming described, it was fragrant and tender.

Even without much seasoning, there wasn’t any gamey taste from the pork ribs.

This was probably the best braised ribs Bai Yifan had ever eaten.

”Did you come from another Earth just to eat this pot of my ribs?”

Zhang Yiming looked at Bai Yifan’s stuffed cheeks, took a deep breath, and held back, refraining from getting angry.

He almost couldn’t handle it. Today he was inexplicably tricked by another version of himself from a different world, which made Xiao Niu upset.

Then... the ribs meant for Xiao Niu couldn’t be eaten and were all wasted by Bai Yifan.

He originally didn’t believe in such absurd and unruly things.

But the man in front of him who looked identical to himself and Bai Yifan both had ”superpowers.”

One could spit fire, the other could emit light.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming even knew some stories from when Zhang Yiming was a child.

Zhang Yiming was quite adaptable, barely understanding the sequence of events.

Putting aside saving the world, Zhang Yiming felt these two people were just here to mess with him.

His pork rib soup, his Xiao Niu, everything was fine until these two almost ruined it all.

Zhang Yiming’s slender fingers quickly tapped something on his phone while talking to them, not forgetting to soothe the mood elsewhere.

Bai Yifan glanced from afar; it was a chat box in a communication app, obviously Zhang Yiming was still explaining something to the sister of this world.

Like a pair of little lovebirds.

Oh, forgot.

The sister of this world and Brother Zhang are indeed a couple.

Upon hearing Zhang Yiming’s complaint, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming didn’t respond, he just suddenly asked,

”When did you confess?”

Saying this, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming unconcernedly lowered his head to drink the pork rib soup from the bowl, but his ears didn’t miss a move Zhang Yiming made.

He could taste what it was like, but didn’t find the taste good.

Only the taste of blood could stimulate his taste buds.

Blood and flesh were the only things he found delicious.

Even though he didn’t find it tasty, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming still finished the entire bowl of ribs and soup without leaving a drop.

He couldn’t resist serving himself another large bowl.

The pork rib soup of this world was especially soothing to drink.

Probably because it was made by ”Zhang Yiming” for ”Bai Xiqin,” and here, they were a couple.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming remembered this flavor of pork rib soup.

If there ever was a chance...

”On the day of graduation, I confessed to her, and she agreed.”

While saying this, Zhang Yiming had a warm, sunny smile on his face, his eyes inadvertently exuding nothing but doting affection.

Bai Yifan noticed that although the Zhang Yiming in front of him and Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming looked identical, there was a slight difference, even compared to the Zhang Yiming from the other Earth.

The Zhang Yiming of this world truly gave off a sunny vibe with absolutely no hostility.

An aura of sunshine radiated from the inside out.

Not a hint of darkness.

While the Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming beside him, even though his smile pretended to be sunny, Bai Yifan could sense a faint hostility and gloominess emanating from him.

It was a brutal inner restraint and a stoic self-control.

Yes, Bai Yifan could sense Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s restraint, his restraint towards blood and flesh, and towards various violent emotions.

The Zhang Yiming from their world was even warmer than Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, carrying less brutality, and more restraint over his emotions.

In short, having met three Zhang Yimings, it was Bai Yifan’s first time witnessing such a sunny Brother Zhang.

Just like the Brother Zhang he met when he was searching for his sister at the university town.

Though they looked the same age, Bai Yifan always felt the Brother Zhang in front of him seemed more ”naïve.”

Bai Yifan took a sip of the pork rib soup, feeling a bit of admiration for Brother Zhang.

If he had turned into a zombie himself, he wouldn’t have been as controlled as Brother Zhang, and would have long unleashed his nature.

What Bai Yifan was thinking on the side, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming had no clue, he only heard the voice of Zhang Yiming in his mind.

The trajectories of the two Earths were essentially similar.

If it hadn’t been for the so-called energy tide, he would have also confessed like Zhang Yiming of this world... and naturally ended up together.

Yet, due to a slight difference, their world experienced an energy tide, the apocalypse arrived, and he no longer belonged to humanity...

With a crack.

The white porcelain bowl in Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s hands cracked, and the remaining bits of soup dribbled onto the table.

”What exactly do you guys want now? Can you speak directly? Also, could you not eat the ribs so loudly!”

Zhang Yiming looked at the whole pot of ribs reduced to just the bottom with a heartache.

He had simmered it for several hours, never leaving the stove, but it ended up benefiting these two!

Even though one was a version of himself from another world and one was a brother-in-law from another world, Zhang Yiming couldn’t help feeling distressed.

It was supposed to be for Xiao Niu!

Painful, painfully heart-wrenching!

If he had known, he would have taken the pot to Xiao Niu first!

”Brother Zhang, don’t be so stingy! My sister doesn’t like eating these tasteless soups and broths, next time make sweet and sour ribs or add some strong-flavored chili, my sister would definitely love it!”

Bai Yifan shamelessly took another piece of rib and happily gnawed on it under Zhang Yiming’s watchful eyes, offering advice while chewing.

In the Bai Family, apart from the men, all the fairy-like girls favored extra spicy hot pot, the more they ate, the more they loved it, not happy without spice.

”Of course, I know what she likes to eat, but too many chilies aren’t good for the stomach.”

Zhang Yiming shook his head, a slight sense of helplessness in his tone.

Afraid that Xiao Niu’s stomach would be upset, Zhang Yiming constantly researched recipes.

Since Bai Xiqin didn’t like these bland soups and broths, Zhang Yiming wouldn’t force it; instead, he tried to make these light-flavored soups and broths more delicious.

Indeed, after trying various soups, Bai Xiqin seemed to favor his braised pork rib soup the most.

Whenever Zhang Yiming had the time, he would simmer soup for Xiao Niu.

Bai Yifan unexpectedly glanced at Zhang Yiming’s face full of affection, then looked at the Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, who just sat there exuding an icy aura.

It was hard to imagine Brother Zhang could be so split!

Although not the same person, Bai Yifan still felt their world’s Brother Zhang was somewhat unfortunate.

Listening to Bai Yifan and Zhang Yiming’s conversation, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming calmly tidied up the bowl he accidentally shattered, his eyes slightly curving.

Even though he and Zhang Yiming weren’t from the same Earth, meaning they weren’t the same person, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming still believed their thoughts aligned.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming increasingly felt that it was the apocalypse that ruined everything.
