Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

”I understand.” Bai Xiqin nodded and waved at Zhang Yiming, ”Xiao Ming!”

Zhang Yiming calmly handed a feather duster, which he somehow had on hand, to Bai Xiqin.

His actions were incredibly skilled.

”Continue!”

Bai Xiqin held the feather duster and nodded at Bai Yifan, signaling him to continue his story.

Skipping school, talking nonsense.

These two ”criminal records” were enough for Bai Yifan to get a scolding.

”Sis, I’m actually not Bai Yifan, I’m another world’s Bai Yifan, the Bai Yifan in this world is still at school. In our world, the apocalypse broke out, zombies are everywhere, and Brother Zhang became a super powerful Zombie Emperor. Your world is also nearing the apocalypse, so hurry and gather supplies! Oh, and tell dad to prepare money; he’s best at that!”

Bai Yifan blurted out a ton of words in one go.

As he spoke, Bai Xiqin raised the feather duster in her hand.

Seeing it about to fall on him, Bai Yifan quickly enveloped himself with a golden glow.

His whole body emitted a blinding light.

Bai Xiqin was stunned.

”You... did you have a gene mutation?”

Bai Xiqin looked at Bai Yifan, who was glowing all over, and quickly turned her head away.

”Xiao Niu, he really is another world’s Bai Yifan, and there’s another world’s me too—it’s that guy you saw today who looked under the weather. Today it really wasn’t me who nodded and said it was over.” Zhang Yiming hurried to explain today’s mix-up.

He wanted to clear up any misunderstanding with Xiao Niu.

”This...”

Bai Xiqin rubbed her temples, silently took out her phone, and dialed a number.

Bai Yifan glanced at it, noting the contact name ’Xiao Fan,’ likely calling himself in this world.

Half an hour later.

Through Bai Yifan and Zhang Yiming’s explanations, Bai Xiqin finally understood that the world was really going to end.

Bai Xiqin poured herself a glass of water, sipping slowly, her face looking a bit pale, but not in a particularly panicky or helpless way.

She was handling it quite decently.

Not the reaction Bai Yifan expected.

”Sis, you have no idea, during that time, the chances of things staying within the family were quite high. You must protect yourself well.” Bai Yifan said.

Though it seemed like a reminder, it was quite frightening.

”Hmm, it’s okay! I think I’m quite brave, mom and grandma should be fine, we’ll talk about it later!”

Bai Xiqin wasn’t overly anxious, her expression gradually calming down.

The apocalypse would be disastrous for everyone worldwide; it wasn’t like she alone could wallow in sorrow.

Bai Yifan: ...

Bai Yifan wanted to say more but heard the sound of keys at the door.

Probably Mr. Bai or Mrs. Bai returning.

Bai Yifan blinked and remained standing where he was.

Zhang Yiming adjusted his attire and tidied up the mess around him.

Well-behaved, sensible, handsome.

”Put this away!”

Bai Xiqin placed the Purple Water into Zhang Yiming’s hand, signaling him to put it in her room.

Then she slipped on sleeves to cover the wound on her arm, making it invisible.

Mr. Bai was very protective, if he saw these bottles and cans, he would definitely make a big fuss about suing them until they were penniless!

Unlike other lawyers who are all talk, Mr. Bai could actually make it happen.

”Sure!”

Zhang Yiming stood up, took the Purple Water to Bai Xiqin’s room.

Inside Bai Xiqin’s room, Zhang Yiming placed the Purple Water in a drawer, then added a delicate little box he had prepared into the drawer as well.

The little box contained a beautiful diamond necklace.

Always ready with a little surprise.

After doing these, Zhang Yiming left the room.

Upon exiting Bai Xiqin’s room, Zhang Yiming heard Mr. Bai comforting Bai Xiqin.

”Daughter, why do you look unwell, did you get dumped again?” Bai Anhai said earnestly, ”It’s okay, it’s not the first time. I’ll make your favorite braised pork later!”

Bai Yifan: ...

Those words sounded very familiar.

When his sister was reborn and cried a lot, Mr. Bai comforted her the same way.

”Hello, Uncle.”

Zhang Yiming stood smiling in front of Bai Anhai, reaching to take his briefcase and putting it aside.

”Ah, Xiao Ming is here! Sit down and relax, later I’ll make some braised pork for you to eat!”

Bai Anhai pretended he hadn’t just said those ”comforting” words and greeted Zhang Yiming cheerfully.

Seeing Mr. Bai’s attitude towards Zhang Yiming, Bai Yifan was a bit surprised.

Mr. Bai was very fond of Bai Xiqin, and in his eyes, any boyfriend of hers was unworthy.

No matter how handsome the boyfriend was.

Back then, Mr. Bai accepted Leng Yebai as a son-in-law only because of a large amount of supplies.

Why was it going so smoothly with Brother Zhang?

”I’m free anyway, I’ll help with the cooking.”

Zhi Zhang nodded and naturally took out an apron from somewhere, then skillfully opened the fridge to start cooking.

He prepared not only Bai Xiqin’s favorite braised pork but also dishes that Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai liked.

A warm and sunny young man, tall and graceful, busy in the kitchen.

Even with a kitchen knife, he carried an air of elegance.

A god who tasted earthly delights.

It’s no surprise that Mr. Bai liked him, even Bai Yifan felt that Brother Zhang’s appearance truly was that of an ideal boyfriend.

Seeing Zhang Yiming in front of him, Bai Yifan thought of the Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, filled with hostility, and his eyes dimmed slightly.

If Brother Zhang had been just a bit luckier and hadn’t turned into a zombie, he wouldn’t be so heartbreaking.

What followed was a very harmonious and pleasant time.

Zhang Yiming was treated like family by the Bai parents, and they were all smiles, very pleased.

Zhang Yiming kept a graceful smile, his eyes almost dripping with doting affection, his whole being gentle.

It was Bai Yifan’s first time seeing such a tender Zhang Yiming.

After dinner, Bai Yifan, along with Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai, discussed the apocalypse topics.

As expected, Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai’s reactions were distinctly different.

At first, Mrs. Bai was ecstatic, thinking of vast amounts of unprocessed corpses and getting troubled over whom to bill for the wages.

Mr. Bai frowned so hard it could crush a mosquito, worrying about losing his job since mistreatment of corpses was criminalized...

Just like in their own world, once they accepted it, they began collecting materials quickly and decisively.

Mr. Bai operated on the principle of willing to spend years in jail to raise money and buy supplies.

Even though this world’s sister hadn’t developed Space Ability yet, it didn’t mean she wouldn’t awaken Spatial Ability or other powers post-apocalypse.

Since the exact date of the apocalypse wasn’t known yet, according to deductions, they could only tell them it’d be three months after grandparents awakened their abilities.

In his world, only grandparents had awakened abilities without spatial help, indicating it was a pretty accurate estimate.

Bai Xiqin called grandparents to confirm they were doing well in the countryside and would bring them to the city soon.

Bai Yifan also met his world’s self, like looking into a mirror.

The two talked all about life, Bai Yifan constantly boasting about his awesomeness, often glowing with admiration from his world’s Bai Yifan.

After Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming left, there’d been no news.

Three days later.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming suddenly appeared at the Bai family.

”Xiao Fan, we have to go back now.”

The Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming exuded a wrathful aura, almost becoming tangible, his eyes filled with a heavy darkness.
