Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 298: Isn’t He Human?

Bai Yifan thought it wasn’t impossible. If he was about to turn into a zombie, his first reaction would definitely be to find Brother Zhang.

Zhang Yiming is the Zombie King. Staying under his protection, there’s no fear of having his crystal core extracted.

"Xiao Fan, don’t let your imagination run wild at a time like this," Bai Anhai rubbed his temples.

Xiao Leng didn’t seem to get along with Zhang Yiming, so why look for him if he was turning into a zombie?

Just to see him one last time?

Absurd!

"What if!" The more Bai Yifan thought about it, the more possible it seemed, "Brother Zhang is the Zombie King after all!"

Bai Xiqin sat aside, her fingers holding a notebook, and trembled involuntarily at Bai Yifan’s words.

She thought of something else.

If Leng Yebai turned into a zombie, Zhang Yiming would be the fastest to find him.

"Let’s go, find Xiao Ming!"

Bai Xiqin’s voice was hoarse as she silently closed the notebook, then maneuvered the drone back.

No matter what, even if Leng Yebai turned into a zombie, she had to see him with her own eyes, to find him.

As Bai Xiqin made her decision, the Bai Family followed suit.

In the past few days, Bai Xiqin hadn’t spoken much, immersed in an atmosphere of sorrow.

She never expressed how much she missed Leng Yebai, but everyone in the Bai Family felt it.

Not only Bai Xiqin missed Leng Yebai, they missed him quite a bit too.

After changing the bus tire and performing some simple repairs, the blue-and-white bus sped frantically towards the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.

The driver wasn’t Bai Yifan but Bai Anhai.

Bai Anhai thought Bai Yifan drove too slowly, so he took the wheel himself.

Indeed, blood is thicker than water; Bai Anhai wasn’t any slower than Bai Yifan.

A journey that should have taken two days, Bai Anhai managed in less than a day.

Like a beast, the blue-and-white bus barreled into the dreaded Zombie Village.

Screech—

The sound of tires skidding was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

The zombie girl in the blue outfit stared blankly at the bus rushing towards her.

The bus’s windshield was just 0.01 millimeters from her.

Xiao Lan Zombie looked dazedly at Bai Anhai driving the bus, smelling the aroma of flesh that drove zombies mad.

Unable to resist, Xiao Lan Zombie gulped dryly.

A low growl emerged from its throat.

Intense cravings raged in its mind, yet it didn’t pounce—it retreated dazedly by a few steps.

Under Zhang Yiming’s powerful brainwave, the zombies in Zombie Village were quiet, even avoiding attacking humans proactively.

Without their king’s permission, they wouldn’t even open their mouths if flesh was right in front of them.

Just minutes ago, Zhang Yiming’s powerful brainwave had ruthlessly intimidated all zombies.

Now, in Zombie Village, the zombies were extremely quiet, huddled in corners without moving.

Xiao Lan Zombie shrank timidly in the corner by the door, looked longingly at the bus, then withdrew its gaze.

It sensed three powerful brainwaves in the yard behind it.

One belonged to Fan Tangtang, another to their king.

A new one had appeared.

This strong brainwave was intermittent, carrying an aggressive, violent aura that made all the zombies shiver in fear.

The brainwave didn’t often appear, only occasionally bursting out.

But just a little bit was torment enough for the zombies in Zombie Village.

The Bai Family got off the bus and immediately saw the Xiao Lan Zombie they almost hit.

The bus stopped perilously close to the gate; a later brake could have rammed Zhang Yiming’s gate.

"Sorry, I was driving too fast!"

Bai Anhai politely nodded towards Xiao Lan Zombie, then knocked on the door.

Xiao Lan Zombie’s dazed face looked even more vacant, its empty gaze fixed on the Bai Family.

These humans, how strange!

They weren’t afraid and were even knocking on doors.

Footsteps echoed in the yard, and Xiao Lan Zombie shrank aside, shivering uncontrollably as the steps approached.

Though it trembled intensely, its vacant face continued to stare blankly at the gate, seemingly waiting for a silhouette.

A squeak echoed, the door was opened.

Zhang Yiming’s gentle, sunny face appeared in sight.

"Xiao Niu, you’re here."

Zhang Yiming’s gaze lingered briefly on Bai Xiqin’s haggard face, his handsome brow furrowing slightly.

What was so good about that damned man, wasn’t he just a bit foolish?

Was it worth torturing herself like this?

"Xiao Ming, we need to talk to you."

Bai Xiqin’s voice was hoarse, her eyes urgent.

"Alright, come on in."

Zhang Yiming offered Bai Xiqin a gentle smile, inviting the Bai Family in to talk.

The Bai Family, preoccupied with Leng Yebai, entered eagerly.

When Zhang Yiming wasn’t there, Xiao Lan Zombie watched the door, and when Zhang Yiming appeared, it hurriedly lowered its head, huddling in the corner, its body trembling.

As the Bai Family stepped through, Zhang Yiming shut the door behind them.

Xiao Lan Zombie raised its head again, staring blankly at the door, as if expecting something.

In the yard, Fan Tangtang was still ferociously calculating endless math problems.

The Fan Family continued to do their laundry, grunting as they worked.

Leng Yebai lay on the bed, gently lifting the curtains, greedily watching the slender figure in the yard.

Leng Yebai’s face was now unrecognizable compared to his once handsome features.

His face began to rot, like all zombies, festering flesh hung from it.

Not only his face, but his fingers too.

He no longer felt pain or sensed food aromas.

All he could smell was the scent coming from the Fan Family.

When the Bai Family drove the bus into the village, he caught the scent of other humans.

Bloodthirsty rage ravaged his mind, consuming him with agitation.

He knew it was the Bai Family.

Looking at his reflection, he couldn’t imagine facing them with this appearance.

His body exuded an overwhelming rot, filthy beyond belief.

Initially, Zhang Yiming claimed he wouldn’t become a zombie.

But his wounds showed no sign of healing, just rot upon rot.

Even now, Zhang Yiming couldn’t be sure.

He felt his mind being devoured by a violent consciousness, obliterating his true self.

You never know when he’d slip into a strange state, sensing violent emotions, even catching wild glimpses.

These were from a zombie’s perspective.

But wasn’t he human?

Leng Yebai clenched his teeth tightly, greedily watching the person he longed for, yet a strange impulse stirred within his throat.

The urge to gnaw on flesh, to fill the void in his stomach.

Leng Yebai slowly turned away, with immense self-control restraining himself from looking at the figure outside.

He faced the mirror, his reflection bearing festering flesh, black blood oozing slowly.

Yes, his blood had turned from red to brown, then black overnight.

He thought, by now, he already looked like a zombie everyone would despise.

The most despairing thing wasn’t becoming a zombie, but that when he looked at Xiao Niu, aside from the longing, 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

was the rampant thought in his mind, to devour flesh and blood, this was what he couldn’t bear.
