Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 268: The Place That Peeked Into Paradise
The Bai Family was fervently tidying up the space inside.
Outside where they couldn’t see, two masked individuals had made a decision.
They were the middle-aged Liu Jing and the middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan.
In the confrontation with Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, they realized the force acting upon them was becoming increasingly evident.
This timeline was trying to fix the glitch of their existence.
They couldn’t just leave abruptly without doing anything.
The matter of killing the Zombie Emperor could wait.
The Shadow Organization must be found first.
In their past life, powerful as they were, they only managed to destroy some of their experimental bases without finding their stronghold.
As elders, they always thought about how to let the younger generation live comfortably.
Since they were here, they must deal with this troublesome issue.
According to their speculation, the base of that mysterious organization should be in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.
Such cities have large populations, many zombies, and a mix of various elements.
In places with many zombies, the level of evolution is much higher than in ordinary areas.
In these populous cities, the competition at the beginning of the apocalypse was many times more intense than elsewhere.
The survivors were all people with excellent physique and strong Superpower Users.
More zombies mean a greater chance of the birth of High Rank Zombies.
Whether before or after the apocalypse, the competitiveness of such cities was the fiercest.
And that mysterious organization, in order to study the direction of human and zombie evolution, would naturally not miss out on such cities.
They had been to many places but had not visited Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen.
It was too dangerous there, to survive and get back to the past.
They cherished their lives dearly.
In hindsight, having traveled all over, they still hadn’t found the Shadow Organization’s stronghold, possibly because they hadn’t been to such cities.
Time was running out.
They had to quickly find that organization.
The middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan and the middle-aged Liu Jing took a deep look in the direction of the bus without leaving a word, and turned away.
They had been prepared; even if it meant dying, they would see to it that this mysterious organization perishes.
To avoid the sorrow of parting, they chose not to reveal their identities.
Thus, when saying farewell, the children at home wouldn’t feel so sad.
Just pretend they never existed, never arrived; mere passing strangers.
The middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan and the middle-aged Liu Jing held hands, quietly walking on the road, soaking in the wind of the past, basking in the sun of the past, to make up for the future’s regrets.
...
On the empty street, a young man with a cold, harsh face walked aimlessly.
He was surrounded by an almost tangible aura of hostility.
Just by standing there, doing nothing, the zombies on the street were already shivering in fear.
The zombies of this time were several levels below the Zombie Emperor of ten years later.
Even the current Zhang Yiming, who hadn’t yet become the Zombie Emperor, was almost unbearable to them with his powerful brainwaves.
And the Zhang Yiming of ten years later, as the Zombie Emperor, was even more violent and ruthless.
Just by standing there, he could make mindless zombies bow down in submission.
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming sat expressionlessly on a motorcycle in the street.
The modified motorcycle was extremely cool, and its owner would not be returning.
The motorcycle emitted a soft hum, racing recklessly down the road.
Along the way, zombies within a radius of dozens of miles felt a strong brainwave.
This brainwave was dominant and fierce.
Whether low-level zombies or high-level zombies, they all stood still, allowing the powerful brainwave to probe the information within their brains.
The blazing sun roasted the land, with its intense rays shining upon Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming.
He squinted at the sun, a trace of fatigue in his fierce gaze.
Humanity had extinguished the last vestige of a smile in his heart, making him loathe humanity the most.
He regretted not seeking the truth back then.
He didn’t; he never sought it.
He only knew the perpetrator was human.
He dared not touch the scars in his heart again.
Humanity was his only enemy.
All humans were killers.
Thus, he began a frenzy of slaughtering humans.
As long as they were human, they didn’t deserve to live in this world!
He wanted every human to be buried with him!
Whether or not they were the perpetrator was no longer important; what was important was that not a single human deserved to live.
Now, he couldn’t be so reckless.
Because, she was still alive.
This world should become a bit more beautiful, a beautiful world worthy of her.
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming held the handle of the motorcycle with one hand, gently pressing his chest with the other.
His long-dead heart faintly transmitted a feeling of stabbing pain.
Perhaps it was an illusion; he was already a zombie, yet after ten years, it was the first time he felt a stabbing pain in his heart.
Or perhaps, it wasn’t an illusion; he really felt uncomfortable inside.
He had once made the world so terrible, so hopeless.
He now wished for the world to become a bit more beautiful, to welcome her future.
But there were always some cunning humans around.
As long as the organization that killed Xiao Niu was not eradicated, the future world would not be beautiful.
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s fingers slightly tightened, filled with regret and lament every time he thought of her.
Could it be that he wasn’t worthy of having beautiful memories?
The motorcycle sped down the road, the chill emanating from the man on the motorcycle causing the zombies to shiver.
The motorcycle never stopped, as if the tires would catch fire from the friction with the ground.
The direction in which Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming was heading was a famous Zombie Village near the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.
In this Zombie Village, every house had a heap of zombies, and the feared Corpse King resided in this village.
As of now, only two Corpse Kings were known.
Fan Tangtang and Zhang Yiming.
They looked just like humans, could talk, and had human emotions.
Except for their body temperatures, it seemed there was no other difference from humans.
The Fire Phoenix Safety Base had sent batch after batch of Superpower Users to eradicate the Corpse King in the Zombie Village.
None returned.
Later on, they gave up.
They had no choice but to give up, as per Captain Zhu’s strategy, the superpowers of the Fire Phoenix Safety Base would be wiped out eventually.
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s motorcycle sped fast.
By nearly dusk, he had reached a point near the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.
The speeding motorcycle darted down the street, moving so fast it almost left a phantom image.
As Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming passed by the Fire Phoenix Safety Base, he glanced reminiscently at it.
Here used to be the place where he glimpsed paradise.
She used to live inside, and to catch a glimpse of his earthly paradise, he hid inside a roadside house more than once, standing for an entire day.
He just hoped to see her emerge from the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.
To catch a glimpse of a beautiful sight.
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s lips curved into a faint arc, his eyes full of nostalgia.
Scene after scene unfolded before his eyes, with the Fire Phoenix Safety Base as the backdrop, a delicate-faced girl emerged time and again.
Suddenly, a giant green figure burst into his line of sight.
