Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

”What cooking? I have something super important to tell you.”

Bai Yifan pushed a white cat towards Bai Xiqin’s face, ”This is the legendary Chenghuang, the kind of Divine Beast that can travel through time and space. It just took Brother Zhang and me to another Earth! That Earth is exactly the same as ours, and the people are exactly the same too. I even saw you and Brother Zhang...”

When Bai Yifan mentioned the other Brother Zhang, he sneakily glanced at Leng Yebai, who was cooking, and his voice grew softer.

It’s better not to say anything about it to avoid getting beaten by Brother Leng.

However, the sharp Leng Yebai had already turned his head to look at Bai Yifan, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

”Dreaming before you even sleep?”

Bai Xiqin casually petted the fat cat’s soft fur, somewhat skeptical of Bai Yifan’s words.

She believed that the little cat Bai Yifan casually rescued was the legendary Divine Beast Chenghuang capable of time travel, because Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming had just said this wasn’t a cat.

The Bai Family has a Chenghuang, resembling a fox, with a horn on its back, riding it grants a lifespan of two thousand years.

This is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Bai Xiqin believed that Chenghuang existed in the world because Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and her future grandparents came from the future, returning to the past using Chenghuang.

Bai Xiqin was just amazed at Bai Yifan’s luck, casually rescuing a Divine Beast was incredibly incredible.

However, Bai Xiqin was still somewhat skeptical about Bai Yifan’s recent time travel events.

Was it those few minutes they hadn’t met?

Too far-fetched?

If there was another self in another world, would she and her have any connection?

”It’s all true! If you don’t believe me, ask Brother Zhang!”

Bai Yifan knew that his sister wouldn’t believe him without evidence, but if Brother Zhang said it, she would definitely believe it.

After all, Brother Zhang’s status is well-established and credible.

The dignified Zombie Emperor surely wouldn’t lie!

”Yes, we went to another world, which is almost like ours, there’s no apocalypse yet, but the energy is already spreading slowly, so it won’t be long.”

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, from somewhere, took out a pair of white gloves and put them on, pulling Leng Yebai aside and stepped into the kitchen himself.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming leisurely took the knife from Leng Yebai’s hand, lowering his head to chop vegetables.

His movements while cooking were elegant, as if he was crafting an artwork.

”Really?”

Bai Xiqin was still a bit incredulous.

Is there truly another world besides the past and future?

A world without an apocalypse.

”Yes, but you must be careful. If others discover Chenghuang’s identity, it will surely attract envy.”

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s hands didn’t stop, rapidly chopping various vegetables and meats, including a piece of perfectly trimmed pork ribs.

The aroma of food filled the kitchen, rich and fragrant.

All the original aroma of the food was there.

No heavy seasonings were used, just a hint of seasoning was added.

Even with a pair of white gloves, there was no impact on Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s performance.

Bai Yifan noticed that Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming was preparing the pork rib soup the other world’s Brother Zhang made for his sister.

”Can it time travel again?”

Bai Xiqin poked Chenghuang, her thoughts drifting to the Base Commander.

If they went back a few days, perhaps they could find the Base Commander here.

”Its time travel ability is limited, going back and forth twice is already the limit, and for a long time, it can’t use this ability again.”

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming paused, then continued,

”Time traveling is harmful to the body, a small mistake might leave you stuck in a temporal rift. Even if successful, you can’t use your full superpower in the past or future; the world will correct it. It’s dangerous, so don’t try it unless necessary.”

When Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming spoke, it was earnest and earnest, unlike a Zombie Emperor who slaughtered several safe bases.

”There’s no apocalypse in the other world?”

Leng Yebai glanced at Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming cooking, took off his apron, and quickly grasped the key point.

”Is there some condition not met, so there’s no apocalypse?”

Given both worlds complement each other, the overall trend should be similar. One world couldn’t turn into Purgatory, while the other remains peaceful.

”That, I don’t know.”

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming placed the chopped ribs into a pressure cooker, set it, and began preparing other dishes.

”Didn’t you go to see, Brother Zhang?”

Bai Yifan scratched his head, not believing Brother Zhang went outside for days and saw nothing.

He just thought Brother Zhang didn’t want to say, though he couldn’t guess why.

”Even after seeing, I didn’t find anything different, only that their world isn’t much different from ours. In a short distance, the mysterious energy will sweep the world, and no one will escape its baptism.”

The sounds of chopping echoed from the knife and cutting board.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s voice was gentle, without a ripple.

”However, I discovered a very interesting phenomenon.”

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s lips curled slightly, glancing at Leng Yebai with an ambiguous smile, his eyebrows slightly arched.

”What phenomenon?”

Leng Yebai, seeing Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s expression, already had an inkling.

What matters to Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and him is only Xiao Niu.

And his meeting with Xiao Niu was due to the apocalypse.

If the other world had no apocalypse, he truly didn’t know what would bring them together.

Thinking of this, Leng Yebai felt a deep heaviness.

If Xiao Niu hadn’t appeared in his life, what different picture would his life be?

”It’s a secret.”

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s gaze shifted to Bai Xiqin, eyes slightly curving as he smiled, ”Xiao Niu, do you like pork rib soup?”

”...It’s okay.”

Seeing the tension between Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai, Bai Xiqin scratched her head and turned to Bai Yifan, seeking answers about the other world’s differences with her eyes.

Or perhaps, what the secret Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming mentioned was.

Bai Yifan blinked under the death stares of Leng Yebai and Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, not daring to speak.

Silently, he tucked the phone, which had photos of his sister and Zhang Yiming being affectionate, into his pocket.

Barely maintaining a smile, he smiled ingratiatingly at Leng Yebai, shook his head, and shrugged his shoulders.

Don’t ask him, he knows nothing.

He merely planned to exchange the contents of his pocket with Brother Zhang for a handsome sum of crystal cores or two cans of milk powder, planning to get rich overnight.

Since Bai Yifan and Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming didn’t speak, Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin naturally remained in the dark.

As the night grew deeper, time marched on.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming took his time cooking, seemingly utilizing his full cooking repertoire, preparing dish after dish.

The aroma of food was rich, with Bai Yifan patting his stomach, waiting for dinner.

Yet Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming kept cooking.

Even when the table was laden with dishes, he didn’t stop.
