Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!
Chapter 424: They’re Here
"If Zombie Kings roamed freely, humans would have been done for a long time ago." Wang Yiyun spoke with a hint of excitement, "If there were more Zombie Kings, it wouldn’t be bad. Surely some Zombie Kings like to put on makeup?"
With her over twenty years of experience as a Funeral Master, she could definitely become a hot commodity among the Zombie Kings.
Wouldn’t all those colorful crystal cores just keep pouring into her hands?
Just the thought of it made her excited.
"It would be great if we could hear them speak."
Bai Zhengxuan squinted his eyes, barely able to make out blurry figures.
After the awakening of superpowers, one’s vision improves significantly; Bai Zhengxuan’s eyesight was not good to begin with, so it was still tough to see distant blurry figures.
"That’s easy!"
Bai Yifan’s eyes lit up.
He ran to the second floor to fetch a small box.
Inside the box was a drone, equipped with a camera and a device specifically for collecting sound.
This five-person drone was much smaller than the average drone. The only downside was that its signal was transmitted via radio, and the mini transmitter they had built couldn’t support a long distance.
The distance from here to the Yellow River was still manageable.
The car window slowly opened a crack, and the drone quickly spun and ascended, flying towards Zhang Yiming’s direction.
"There’s a human drone over there."
Old Tao squinted as he watched the incoming drone, a momentary sharpness in his eyes.
Although he appeared kind, he knew the outside world was cruel. The moment he came out, he was on high alert.
Any slight movement of the wind or grass made him nervous. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
He used to take life as it came, but now he especially cherished his life. He was not just living for himself; he was living for all the villagers in Taovillage.
"Ignore it."
Zhang Yiming glanced at the place where the trees and wild grass were dense, his eyes gentle.
Old Tao was taken aback, and following Zhang Yiming’s gaze, barely saw a blue-and-white bus.
His face twitched a couple of times.
That blue-and-white bus seemed quite familiar; it was the Bai Family’s vehicle.
The Bai Family indeed was different from other humans.
Strong superpowers, boldness, and a robust mindset.
No matter how many human superpower users came, this was still a battle between human superpower users and zombies.
The boasts had already spread from the broadcast.
What if a lot of Zombie Kings really came, along with many superpower users?
Those more than a hundred superpower users might sound like a small number, but they were the top forces of the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.
A Third Rank Superpower User was the kind that every major base wanted to recruit.
And among the superpower users coming this time, there were quite a few Third Rank Superpower Users.
Moreover, Zhang Yiming was here.
The Zombie Emperor.
The first time he met Zhang Yiming, he already concluded in his heart that he would never meet anyone with a stronger brainwave than Zhang Yiming.
Such a terrifying being could annihilate a human safety base in an instant.
Yet the Bai Family was still here leisurely... spying?
Really have nerves of steel!
The drone flew crookedly, seemingly trying to land on a nearby tree.
The branches were lush, and landing on them wouldn’t be noticed.
Old Tao rubbed his wrinkled temples with his gnarled fingers; the drone sure was brazen in its approach.
His weary eyes sneaked a glance at Zhang Yiming, whose brainwave was strong, surprisingly seeing a hint of a doting smile on his face.
"Snap!"
"Oh no!"
Bai Xiqin looked innocently at the control stick in her hand, a bit speechless.
She wasn’t very strong, how could it break?
"Sis, how could you break the remote control!"
Bai Yifan stomped his foot, feeling a bit distressed over his drone.
Looking like he wanted to scold someone but didn’t dare to.
The drone was very expensive; he and Grandpa had earned the money from selling the packing boxes at home!
He was the one operating it originally, but his superpower was too weak, and his eyesight wasn’t reliable, so he had to let his sister, who could see clearly, take over.
His sister really was a little brute, snapping the control stick just like that.
"I didn’t do it on purpose, what’s with your attitude?" Bai Xiqin looked at Bai Yifan coolly, "This product’s quality is poor!"
"Nothing, nothing, I was just worried about your hands getting hurt."
Bai Yifan immediately hugged the control stick, shrinking into a ball.
On the other side.
Old Tao looked at the drone that suddenly fell to the ground, widening his eyes.
He saw the camera and recorder.
Although he was old, since becoming a zombie, he never ran out of energy and didn’t feel the various ailments of the body.
Besides leading the zombies in the village to plant trees, he spent the long nights learning.
He was afraid that people outside might harm those in the village or the zombies, and he wouldn’t have time to react.
Thus, since the apocalypse, he had learned quite a bit of technological knowledge.
He could tell at a glance that this was equipment specifically for eavesdropping.
Old Tao glanced at Zhang Yiming, then at the drone.
Pretending not to have seen it.
Inwardly, he worried for the Bai Family, as the human superpower users were arriving soon, and the Bai Family had thrown the drone over. If Zhang Yiming misunderstood and got angry, no one could control his wrath!
The expected pressure did not release, and the brainwave continued to pervade the surroundings as usual, without any fluctuation.
Suddenly, Zhang Yiming moved.
Old Tao swallowed and stood completely still.
Zhang Yiming was the Zombie Emperor; he had no courage to resist at all.
If Zhang Yiming really took his anger out on the Bai Family, he... would collect their bodies!
A straight figure walked up to the drone, slender fingers holding the five-person drone.
"Brother Zhang, could you put the drone on the tree behind you? And please adjust it to the right angle. Thanks a lot!"
Suddenly, Bai Yifan’s voice came from the drone.
A smile flashed in Zhang Yiming’s eyes. Under Old Tao’s incredulous gaze, Zhang Yiming indeed walked to a tree and hid the drone in a spot that wasn’t easily noticeable.
"Brother Zhang, could you adjust the angle a bit to the right? The camera is blocked by leaves!"
Bai Yifan’s voice turned into an electronic sound, coming from the drone.
Zhang Yiming didn’t find it troublesome at all and helped to adjust it properly, one step at a time.
Old Tao watched Zhang Yiming earnestly working and was a bit bewildered.
Is this really the Zombie King Zhang Yiming from the broadcasts, said to be a ruthless killer?
Is this truly the Zombie Emperor with brainwaves so mighty that all zombies willingly submit to him?
How could it be so unlike?
He thought he played the role of a Zombie King quite "mercifully" like a human, yet didn’t expect the Zombie Emperor to be even more "merciful."
On the other side.
Leng Yebai swung his knife quickly, slicing a large apple into small pieces.
A nearby plate was filled with sliced pears, oranges, and dragon fruits, piled high.
Besides the fruit, there was also a plate filled with sunflower seeds.
Leng Yebai put the freshly sliced, white, apple pieces into the plate, then brought it to the window of the vehicle, setting up a small table so that everyone could reach and grab easily.
The Bai Family was leaning by the window, each holding a bowl of rice, their eyes on the Yellow River, watching the drama unfold.
Bai Zhengxuan and Liu Jing’s eyes weren’t good, so they watched the footage transmitted by the drone.
The sound equipment occasionally emitted static, accompanied by the sound of the flowing Yellow River.
"They’re here!"
Bai Yifan muted himself to prevent the drone from making any noise and being discovered by others, gesturing excitedly towards a direction.
His voice and expression were full of excitement.
Enjoying the spectacle without caring about the trouble.
