Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

Humans typically can’t perceive brainwaves, unless Bai Xiqin reaches the state where her self-awareness detaches.

Currently, Bai Xiqin is in a normal human state, but she can still feel a slight impact from the brainwaves.

The Zombie King inside is powerful, so powerful that the brainwaves are almost tangible.

Xiao Li smiled calmly, and his fierce brainwaves also madly surged toward the house.

Wearing a white shirt, Xiao Li smiled pleasantly, seeming stress-free, with a slight aura of warm sunlight.

It must be said that Xiao Li, even in middle age, still has quite some charm.

Bai Xiqin caught a glimpse of Xiao Li’s gentle face from the side and nodded to herself.

Xiao Li is really a super formidable Zombie King!

Pretty reliable!

Indeed, following Zhang Yiming can enhance a zombie’s abilities and even become warm and sunny.

Much cuter than those fierce little cuties outside.

Bai Xiqin was deep in thought when Xiao Li elegantly glanced her way.

’Maybe I can’t win, so get ready to dig out my crystal core and run!’

Smiling, Xiao Li silently ”said” to Bai Xiqin.

After speaking, Xiao Li even moved his head a bit toward Bai Xiqin, revealing his temple.

Bai Xiqin: ...

Got scared so fast?

”Wow――”

Just as Xiao Li was about to move his head closer to Bai Xiqin again, a baby’s cry came from inside.

The baby’s voice was incredibly clear, not at all like a zombie baby, but rather like a normal human infant.

Without a doubt, this was a zombie baby, and moreover, a Zombie King.

The tussle between Xiao Li and the Zombie King inside disturbed the baby zombie, whose chaotic brainwaves made it feel a sense of crisis.

”Stop!”

A cold voice inside mixed with a hint of panic, and the violent brainwaves vanished instantly.

Xiao Li silently retracted his brainwaves and gently rubbed his temple, then raised an eyebrow at Bai Xiqin.

Good thing you were slow to act, or else it would’ve been over for good.

Bai Xiqin: ...

Did she just lose a Sixth Rank crystal core?

”That’s your son, I presume! Quite a loud voice, the Emperor’s subordinate also has a little Zombie King named Fan Tangtang, interested in a match?”

Xiao Li spread his hands with a smile, indicating no malice.

As long as they submit to our Emperor, he won’t make a move, only the risk of high-level zombies smelling the scent on Bai Xiqin and others needs elimination.

Bai Xiqin’s lips twitched sharply at these words.

”Tangtang’s a boy!”

Bai Xiqin couldn’t hold back and remarked.

”That’s not important since they won’t have children anyway, gender doesn’t matter!”

Xiao Li shrugged.

The probability of a decaying zombie body giving life is incredibly low, with billions of zombies hopping around, gender really doesn’t matter anymore.

Bai Xiqin: ...

Very reasonable.

”Hope your boss thinks the same way.”

Leng Yebai, who hadn’t spoken all along, suddenly interjected.

That way, Zhang Yiming wouldn’t have eyes on Xiao Niu.

With so many powerful male zombies, let’s hope Zhang Yiming finds a match soon.

By then, Leng Yebai will chip in with two crystal cores as a gift, showing absolute respect.

”Heh heh, I don’t know what the boss thinks, what I do know—when it comes to a boy, he’s very different with you, like he’d love to devour your flesh and drink your blood.”

Xiao Li grinned at Leng Yebai.

Silly guy, daring to slight his Emperor Zombie darling!

Leng Yebai: ...

This Zombie King seems very unserious.

Lured astray by some Zombie Emperor!

”What are you guys doing here!”

The cold voice inside rang out again, this time mixed with a touch of anger.

Arguing at his doorstep, have you considered his feelings?

Damn it, if not for considering his wife and child, he wouldn’t be this scared, would jump right in and take off that Zombie King’s head!

Only then did Bai Xiqin and others shift their gaze to the inside of the house.

The room was dark, making it barely possible to see a silhouette.

The silhouette was dressed in military green clothing, suggesting they were a base worker. Behind him, a blurred figure of a woman, holding a baby in her arms, could be seen.

A putrid stench wafted out from inside.

Bai Xiqin’s gaze fell on the woman. Though it was too dark to see clearly, she could feel the woman trembling.

This was an ordinary female zombie.

”Came to destroy weapons, and by the way, make you submit to our Emperor.” Xiao Li’s eyes fell briefly on the small figure in the woman’s arms, asking again, ”This child, was it born before or after the apocalypse.”

”Weapons can be destroyed, submission, impossible. My son was born after the apocalypse.”

The man shook his head gently, his vicious aura becoming a bit more rampant.

The man hadn’t gone out, but he extracted a lot of information from the brainwaves of ordinary zombies.

The Zombie Emperor is not a ruler solely focused on growing the zombie horde but a very human-friendly Zombie Emperor.

For humanity, he’s killed too many zombies, without a shred of sympathy for them.

Humans and zombies, two completely separate entities.

If even the Emperor doesn’t uphold the role of a zombie leader, the extinction of zombies is not far off.

He doesn’t mind.

If he were alone, he could roam anywhere with impunity, submission wouldn’t matter.

Protecting humans or zombies, either would suffice.

But he also has kids and a wife.

They are zombies.

If they submit to the Emperor, and if the Emperor decides to eradicate zombies to bring peace to the world, every zombie within the range of the Emperor’s brainwaves will die.

No one can refuse the Emperor’s brainwaves.

That’s precisely why he’s holed up here, never leaving, unwilling to lose his wife and children.

Xiao Li’s gaze lingered on the zombie baby a moment, his gentle eyes slightly curved.

”Seems like zombies indeed have the ability to procreate.”

Bai Xiqin noticed that not only Xiao Li became much gentler, but even the zombie man in the suit had softened eyes suddenly.

It’s not just humans; various animals naturally have protective instincts for their young.

Zombies are no exception.

But this is limited to intelligent zombies, ordinary zombies still lack self-awareness, acting purely on instinct to devour flesh, incapable of caring for the weak.

Humans eat animals, zombies eat humans, all part of species’ respective diets.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai exchanged a glance, seeing the complex emotions in each other’s eyes.

This was no longer a world apocalypse.

This was a battle between two species to establish and spread their civilization seeds for a long existence here on Earth.

Zombies have good advantages in numbers and strength, while humans have the upper hand in reproductive capability.

Who will ultimately prevail is still uncertain.

”Low probability doesn’t mean none. Higher-ranked zombies have a better chance of bringing forth life.”

The man’s gaze rested momentarily on Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai, taking a deep breath before continuing,

”If it’s quality flesh, the chances of success will increase.”

”I suggest you swallow back those words.”

Xiao Li let out a cold laugh, brainwaves suddenly bursting out wildly again.

This Zombie King is still obsessing over the scent of flesh emanating from Bai Xiqin and the others.

He intends zombies to reproduce, to become Earth’s dominators, unlike typical zombies.

Initially wary of Xiao Li’s capabilities, fearing his influence on his son.

Yet, once the door opened, the pungent scent of flesh from Bai Xiqin and his allies intensified.

The Zombie King’s thoughts transformed.

No zombie can resist the allure of flesh.

For the first half-hour, rationality could prevail; the longer the time, the harder it is to restrain.

”We can’t stay here anymore; the Emperor will find this place. I don’t want to be affected by his brainwaves, but before leaving, these two humans must stay.”

The male Zombie King’s voice lacked determination.

But after glancing at his son and wife, he firmed his resolve.

The wife still a regular zombie needing flesh for evolution, and the two before him had premium flesh.

Besides, he also yearns to savor the taste, a craving no zombie can perfectly resist from their instincts.
