Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 243: The True Face of the Zombie Emperor
The cold moonlight spilled over the two of them, casting their features in an increasingly solemn and heavy light.
The words of these two people were true, a future they had witnessed and personally experienced.
"The Zombie Emperor only rose rapidly three years after the apocalypse; finding its traces now is very difficult. However, this matter must be dealt with."
Middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan’s voice was slightly solemn.
They came to the past to change history and let their past family live well in the apocalypse.
The appearance of the Zombie Emperor plunged the entire world into endless despair.
Therefore, the Zombie Emperor must die!
"This... do you think there might be some misunderstanding?"
Leng Yebai slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
Zhang Yiming was somewhat ugly; saying he was bloodthirsty and violent was still a bit of an exaggeration.
"There is no misunderstanding. The Zombie Emperor’s name is Zhang Yiming. Its appearance directly led to zombies standing at the top, while humans could only struggle on the brink of survival. It loved to torture and kill humans, obliterating safety bases in a wave of its hand under the zombie tide."
Middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan shook his head slightly. They lived muddled lives in the apocalypse.
Most of their energy was spent traversing mountains seeking various mutant animals, hoping to find traces of the Chenghuang Divine Beast recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
No matter how much they ignored matters, they still knew the Zombie Emperor’s significant impact on the entire world.
Because of the existence of the Zombie Emperor, the already terrifying apocalypse became even more despair-inducing.
"Grandpa Bai, you just said that now is different from your past. Perhaps the Zombie Emperor’s personality might change?" Leng Yebai said.
That Zhang Yiming fellow didn’t look like a good person, and he was quite ugly. Saying he was so cruel was really a bit strange.
"What? Do you know the Zombie Emperor?"
Middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan’s sharp gaze fell on Leng Yebai.
Concerning the peace of this world, middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan had no intention of sparing the Zombie Emperor, and that mysterious organization must also be eradicated.
Leng Yebai coughed lightly, "The matter of the Zombie Emperor, let’s discuss it later! I think the issue of the mysterious organization is more urgent!"
"Young man, if you know the Zombie Emperor’s location, you must tell me!" Middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan emitted a faint pressure.
Leng Yebai calmly touched his hair, avoiding the pressuring Grandpa Bai, and just softly answered, "Okay."
Seeing Leng Yebai nod, middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan returned to normal, probably realizing he had overreacted.
How could Leng Yebai so coincidentally know the Zombie Emperor?
"By the way, Grandpa Bai, have you ever seen the Zombie Emperor?" Leng Yebai asked nonchalantly.
Middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan and middle-aged Liu Jing exchanged a glance and then gently shook their heads.
"No, the Zombie Emperor extremely loathes humans; everyone who has seen its face died by zombies’ mouths or became zombies." said middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan.
"However, I’ve heard its figure is twice as big as an ordinary zombie, covered in corrosive liquid comparable to sulfuric acid, with a face full of rotting maggots..."
Middle-aged Liu Jing rubbed his chin, describing the widely circulated appearance of the Zombie Emperor among survivors.
Leng Yebai: ...
Then he was relieved.
Following this image, they might never find Zhang Yiming.
"What are you planning to do now?" Leng Yebai asked.
"Stay with you for now. That mysterious organization didn’t just emerge in the apocalypse; reportedly, it has been around for over a thousand years. Although we have destroyed several experimental bases before, we still haven’t shaken their foundation. That mysterious organization is dedicated to researching all kinds of High Rank Superpower Users. Soon enough, they will come looking for you, and we must seize this opportunity to completely uproot them!"
Middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan said.
Moreover, being with the children, this feeling is really good.
So good that they wanted to strangle the two old immortals in the bus and replace them.
But, they couldn’t!
Without them, there would be no them.
The stars were brilliant.
Under the cold moonlight, the three of them kept talking for a very long time.
Initially discussing scripts, later on, it was mainly Leng Yebai talking, and the other two listening.
They listened intently, and the usually reticent Leng Yebai also talked a lot.
He spoke about everything related to Xiao Niu.
From three months before the apocalypse to several months after, Leng Yebai recounted their family’s illegal fundraising efforts under the principle of risking it all for survival.
The two listened carefully, as if they were also involved in those events.
The sun gradually rose from the east, its gentle rays sprinkling onto the blue-and-white bus.
The bus door slowly opened, and the family stretched and stepped off the vehicle.
"Shall we go somewhere else today?"
Bai Xiqin glanced at the lush greenery in the distance, feeling very pleased.
The green plants emitted a fresh, elegant aroma, making one feel cheerful.
Even though there were various mutant animals and plants hiding inside, it was still a better environment than the apocalyptic factory exhausts.
"...Okay."
Leng Yebai’s voice was hoarse, like the sound of sandpaper rubbing.
He had talked all night long yesterday, and now his throat was burning, capable of imitating Zhang Yiming’s subordinates’ roars.
"What happened to your voice?" Bai Xiqin was slightly surprised.
It was fine before going to bed last night, but now it sounded worse than a zombie’s roar.
"...Nothing much, just... drank less hot water."
Leng Yebai laboriously uttered a few words, quietly opened a thermos, and poured a gulp of warm water down his throat.
A few goji berries bounced up and down inside the thermos.
Bai Xiqin: ...
—You’re really quite weak!
The morning in Baiyang Village was as usual, with adults going to orchards or fields to pick fruits and gather wild vegetables.
Children were supervised in air-raid shelters, learning various survival skills.
The Bai Zhengxuan couple, Bai Anhai couple, went to find Village Chief Li.
They had stayed in the village longer and had a special attachment to it, intending to share their knowledge of survival in the apocalypse with Village Chief Li during these days.
Also, they would teach some young Superpower Users how to use their abilities.
Bai Xiqin, Leng Yebai, and Bai Yifan sauntered around, specifically venturing deep into the lush green forest.
From afar, two figures followed behind the three.
Even though they were so far apart that speaking was not possible, they continued to follow from a distance.
At this moment, their eyes were slightly red, tightly fixed on the frail figure ahead.
It turned out the Xiao Niu they had searched for so long had returned to the past.
In a sense, Xiao Niu was their most intimate person, as her memory was congruent with theirs.
As they walked along, surrounded by vibrant woods and wild grass, they occasionally saw small villages in the distance.
Some villages had become ghost towns, desolate and uninhabited, with glimpses of wild dogs running around.
Other villages were encircled with fences, indicating they were inhabited.
However, under the dual threat of mutant animals and zombies, whether these villages could safely pass through a long period was still an unknown.
