Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!

The Bai Family didn’t finish breakfast, there were still quite a bit of leftovers.

Reheat them, there’ll be enough for Captain Zhang to eat.

After all, the taste is the same; even if the items stored in the space are left for a long time, they won’t be hard to swallow.

At most, you’d just get diarrhea.

With how strong Captain Zhang is, diarrhea shouldn’t be a problem for him.

”I’m not picky, I can eat anything.”

Captain Zhang adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, the corners of his mouth slightly uplifted.

He eats anything that comes from that place.

Even if it kills him.

The more he eats, the more he gets.

You can’t just give away two Eighth Rank crystal cores for nothing!

Leng Yebai nodded to himself after hearing Captain Zhang’s answer.

Even better, let Captain Zhang have yesterday’s leftovers as well!

It’ll reduce the burden on the Bai family’s young and old men.

Eating leftovers isn’t good for the brain.

Bai Yifan ate so much his brain doesn’t work properly anymore.

Captain Zhang glanced at Leng Yebai who was preparing to cook and quickly picked up a small pink mirror from the table to check himself.

Besides a little dust, he looked quite handsome.

Not a single wrinkle.

Although he’s forty years old, if you don’t mention his age, he looks about the same as Leng Yebai.

The more you look, the more it seems like there’s something going on with Bai Xiqin.

They look like a couple.

Even if they can’t be a married couple, they could still be lovers.

The precondition is, after breaking up, you have to give enough breakup fee.

”Xiao Niu, you look really nice in that outfit today, all pink and soft.”

Captain Zhang cleared his throat; he had hardly ever pursued a girl in his life, not knowing how to strike up a conversation.

If he had enough experience, he would’ve known better than to compliment someone’s girlfriend in front of her boyfriend.

Otherwise, you could get beaten to death.

”Oh, I think it looks nice too. This down jacket was given to me by Xiao Ming!”

Bai Xiqin blinked, speaking the truth.

Probably because she’d lived through three years of the apocalypse, experiencing how hard it was, Bai Xiqin never wasted any resources.

Even though there were many clothes stored in the space, Bai Xiqin wouldn’t wear different clothes every day. She just kept wearing the same piece as long as she could.

If it could be worn, she wouldn’t throw it away.

Crash.

The sound of a porcelain bowl breaking came from the kitchen.

Captain Zhang pretended not to hear it, touched his nose and continued, ”Oh, I think this outfit suits you, not too small, just right!”

”Uh-huh! Xiao Ming and I have been old classmates for many years, we often ate and studied together in college, so we’re very familiar; naturally, what he picked for me fits.”

Bai Xiqin was still immersed in the joy of acquiring two Eighth Rank crystal cores, completely unaware of how ”dangerous” her words were.

Captain Zhang scratched his head, his neatly combed hair getting a bit messy.

He felt like something was different from what he imagined.

The relationship wasn’t any closer, Bai Xiqin still regarded him as an elder guest.

That wasn’t the result he wanted!

Even if it was just as a friend!

If he were a friend, at least he could ask for food and drink, something one can’t just ask from elders or casual acquaintances.

”The meal is ready, you can eat!”

While Captain Zhang was still caught up in how to get closer, a plate was abruptly placed in front of him.

The plate was messily filled with a variety of foods.

Dumplings, steamed buns, winter melon, pickled vegetables... not a bit of warmth!

Goodness, you could tell these were leftovers from several days ago.

Looking up, Captain Zhang saw Leng Yebai’s dark, somber face.

Dark and cold.

”Thank you, you went to great lengths... to find such variety.”

Captain Zhang’s mouth twitched as he looked at the plate in front of him.

Such variety, every bite a different taste, no repetition.

Faintly, one could see how incredibly rich the Bai family’s meals were.

Captain Zhang felt a bit envious of the cats and dogs raised by the Bai family.

”No need to thank me, after you eat, quickly leave! The Alliance needs your command.”

Leng Yebai sat next to Bai Xiqin, very close, resting his arm on the sofa, from Captain Zhang’s angle, it seemed as if he was embracing Bai Xiqin.

”Xiao Leng, you...”

Bai Xiqin was just about to comment on how ”sumptuous” the meal was when Leng Yebai placed a fruit candy into Bai Xiqin’s mouth.

”Captain Zhang likes to eat,” Leng Yebai said.

If he loves it, great; if not, our Bai family men will eat!

Anyway, it won’t go to waste.

”I’ll eat, I’m not someone who likes to waste, but this is too cold, it’s bad for the stomach, I’ll heat it up myself!”

Captain Zhang smiled gently, carrying the plate into the kitchen.

His stomach truly wasn’t great; he wanted to live a life of leisure.

But this wasn’t the kind of leftovers he meant!

”Suit yourself.”

Leng Yebai raised an eyebrow, no longer paying attention to Captain Zhang.

He just wanted to be with Xiao Niu, even a second away feared someone might take advantage!

Zhang Yiming was one thing!

But now there was even an old man, Leng Yebai declared he couldn’t tolerate it.

Half an hour later, Captain Zhang casually came out with the plate.

On it was a hot braised pig trotters, with two bottles of water tucked under his arm.

Bai Xiqin could immediately tell it was Spiritual Spring Water from the freezer in the kitchen.

”My appetite hasn’t been great lately, I won’t have any staple food.”

Captain Zhang nodded earnestly towards Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai, then turned and said with a smile,

”You both continue where you left off, I’ll eat mine, pretend I don’t exist.”

Having said this, Captain Zhang found a discreet corner, devouring the braised trotters noisily.

With two bottles of water in hand, his spoils were fruitful.

Captain Zhang could allow himself two days without selling his charm, leaving space for the young couple to flaunt their affection!

He ate his, they flaunted theirs, not interfering with each other.

The strongest superpower user, Alliance Commander, Zhang Gong, who has put down many superpower users, wearing a suit and tie, with a face combining restraint and sunshine, Captain Zhang crouched unceremoniously in the corner, gnawing on pig trotters.

No trace of elegance here.

His eyes squinted happily, looking slightly lascivious, just shy of saying it’s delicious.

― No one can resist the temptation of Old Bai’s special braised pig trotters.

Bai Xiqin: ...

Leng Yebai: ...

Can humanity really have a bright future under his leadership?

Compared to Zhang Yiming, it seems like the zombies might have a better chance of winning?

A swift meal.

Within five minutes, Captain Zhang had gnawed the trotters clean, washed his face, rinsed the plate, and put the gold-rimmed glasses back on.

Elegant, powerful, refined...

If it weren’t for the giant, solitary, clean bone left in the trash, Bai Xiqin would’ve suspected it was a hallucination.

”I have something else to attend to, so I’ll take my leave, you two carry on, pretend I wasn’t here!”

Captain Zhang waved to the two, grabbed the two bottles of Spiritual Spring Water, and ran off.

Afraid that Bai Xiqin might take them back.

This behavior, unmatched.

Completely unlike his face.

”Then let’s resume.”

Leng Yebai’s gaze darkened as he truly moved closer to Bai Xiqin, pink bubbles instantly arising around the bus.

”Xiao Niu! I finally found you!”

A girl’s voice echoed from the bus door.

Captain Zhang, immoral as he was, left without closing the door!

― Although the door couldn’t be shut from outside, Leng Yebai insisted he was unethical!
