Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

”Hand.”

Leng Yebai looked coldly at the fingers resting on Bai Xiqin’s shoulder, a hint of hostility emanating from him.

Even if Xiao Niu’s classmate, she should not speak to Xiao Niu like that.

Even someone like Leng Yebai, with low emotional intelligence, could sense Fang Yuanyuan’s hostility.

Leng Yebai’s voice was icy, chilling to the bone, causing Fang Yuanyuan to reflexively retract her hand.

”I didn’t say anything, Xiao Niu, you... this friend of yours...”

Fang Yuanyuan shook her head, opting not to look at Leng Yebai, instinctively moving closer to Xiao Li.

The hostility emanating from Leng Yebai belonged to a Fifth Rank Superpower User.

While she was only Third Rank.

She could feel that Leng Yebai’s superpower was above hers, making her instinctively apprehensive.

Fang Yuanyuan had no doubts, Leng Yebai would indeed use lethal force against her.

Yet, she had only said a few words, without overtly belittling Bai Xiqin; what exactly was this person’s attitude towards Bai Xiqin?

Was it just a playful attitude or a genuine romantic relationship?

Fang Yuanyuan was now questioning her own assumptions.

However, she quickly recalled the Bai Family’s ”meager” breakfast.

It should just be a playful attitude then!

Leng Yebai raised the fingers that had been protecting Bai Xiqin from behind, lightly patting the spot where Fang Yuanyuan had just touched.

”This clothing is dirty, throw it away when you return, I’ll find you some nicer clothes.”

Leng Yebai frowned, not shying away at all.

This outfit had only been worn once by Bai Xiqin today, a brand new down jacket.

But Leng Yebai simply felt Fang Yuanyuan was dirty, how dare just anyone touch Xiao Niu’s shoulder!

”Don’t go too far, we’re here on a mission together.”

Upon hearing Leng Yebai’s words, Fang Yuanyuan’s face darkened.

She was warning Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai that this was not a safe base, where a death or two would not be questioned.

Even if the Base Commander sought revenge, they’d be powerless.

The Base Commander couldn’t possibly offend the entire Human Survivor Alliance over one son, could he?

”Since it’s a mission, best not to speak, lest we trigger a zombie tide.”

Bai Xiqin said casually.

She found Fang Yuanyuan’s hostility quite unfathomable; she might have her own reason to endure, but she’s never been one to silently endure grievances.

”Alright, alright, we are all classmates! A few words here and there don’t matter! We’re almost at that skyscraper in Shanghai, zombies are getting more numerous, I’ll drop you at a less crowded place, I’m going in alone, you must cooperate and help each other!”

As Xiao Li spoke, nearby zombies rushed towards the people on the board.

The zombies only managed to let out a few roars before falling into the snow.

”Uncle Li, you’re not taking us inside?”

Fang Yuanyuan was anxious.

She wanted to see Xiao Ming in person; she had a lot to say to him.

”There are too many zombies inside, even though Captain Fang has agreed to let you come, I can’t take you all back alone. High-ranked zombies can monitor the surroundings through ordinary zombies’ eyes, don’t roam around, just stay there.”

Saying that, Xiao Li maneuvered the board to an empty building.

The building exuded a strong smell of blood, with dark red blood visibly splattered on the walls.

It seemed not too long ago, zombies and humans had a fight to the death here.

”Uncle Li, if you’re not taking me inside, why bring me out here! I need to go!”

Fang Yuanyuan clung to the rope, her expression resolute.

”Your legs have only just gotten better, I’m taking you out for some fresh air, but you can’t go there, there are High Rank Zombies there, do you see the ordinary zombies over there? Maybe a High Rank Zombie is watching us through one of them!”

Xiao Li casually pointed at an ordinary zombie rushing forward, which instantly collapsed in a pool of black blood.

”Seeing us through ordinary zombies...”

Fang Yuanyuan looked at the already dead zombie, murmuring to herself.

Xiao Ming is the Zombie Emperor, his abilities must be very powerful too.

Could it be, he has already seen her through the zombies’ eyes?

Does that mean she could find him through ordinary zombies?

”Alright, I’ll wait here for you, Uncle Li come back soon.”

Fang Yuanyuan quickly changed her mind, deciding not to go near the skyscraper.

This was indeed a safe method not to let Xiao Li and her father discover her.

”Good! I’m off then.”

After dropping off Bai Xiqin and the others, Xiao Li abandoned the board; his Wood Ability allowed him to rapidly increase his speed.

Some High Rank Superpower Users, if their physical fitness matches, can outrun even planes.

In a blink, Xiao Li disappeared.

”Alright, from now on each of us do our own thing, meet here in half an hour.”

Fang Yuanyuan threw out a comment and turned to leave.

Bai Xiqin raised an eyebrow, quietly following with Leng Yebai.

Both she and Leng Yebai were Fifth Rank Superpower Users, there aren’t many zombies in this area, stalking a Third Rank Superpower User was effortless.

Fang Yuanyuan rubbed her slightly chilled fingers, cautiously stepping on the snow.

As she was not an Ice Ability User, she couldn’t create ice layers; any unexpected zombie emerging from the snow would leave her no chance to escape.

Being a girl, she was also scared.

But for Xiao Ming’s sake, she had to go on.

Fang Yuanyuan took a deep breath, aggressively tousling her hair, even smudging some dirt onto her down jacket.

In no time, Fang Yuanyuan turned from an elegant young lady into one who looked like she had endured countless trials and tribulations.

Her clothes and hair were messy, yet her lipstick was untouched, and her setting powder unscathed.

Pulling out a small mirror, Fang Yuanyuan checked herself and nodded in satisfaction.

She was crafting an image of someone striving to save Xiao Ming, appearing wise, resilient, and undeterred by hardships.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai silently followed Fang Yuanyuan, witnessing her preparations earlier.

”Roar――”

A zombie with frozen, decomposed flesh suddenly raised its head amidst the snow near Fang Yuanyuan.

Smelling the scent of flesh and blood, it struggled frantically on the ground, aiming to devour any flesh and blood it encountered.

”Ah――”

Fang Yuanyuan was startled, and immediately ran.

Being Captain Fang’s daughter, Fang Yuanyuan rarely had opportunities to face zombies alone.

”Huff huff――”

The zombie behind her had risen, its sounds muffled by long periods buried in the ice and snow, its legs and joints exceptionally stiff.

Catching up to Fang Yuanyuan was nearly impossible.

Yet it never learned to give up; as long as it could smell flesh and blood, it would never cease.

The panic on Fang Yuanyuan’s face was genuine, entirely unfeigned.

All her life she’d been a sheltered flower, absorbing crystal cores all day, unaccustomed to the harsh elements.

Even going out to gather supplies or perform Alliance missions, it was always alongside Xiao Li or others.

Given Captain Fang’s status, she never needed to do anything herself; she was merely a decorative presence.

As Fang Yuanyuan kept running, she suddenly came to a halt.

Her body trembled, yet she refrained from running further.

Xiao Ming, everything was for Xiao Ming.

She had to get in contact with Xiao Ming.

Fang Yuanyuan spun around abruptly, releasing a lot of green light from her body, striking the ordinary zombie’s leg with force.

Being just a Low-Level Zombie, the ordinary zombie’s leg shattered under the attack of the Third Rank Superpower User Fang Yuanyuan, its lower half separating from the body.

Looking at the black decay, Fang Yuanyuan felt a wave of disgust.

”Can, can you help me contact your emperor? I mean Xiao Ming! Xiao Ming, can you see me?”

Fang Yuanyuan took a leap of faith.
