Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!
Chapter 501: Same Thunder Ability as Me
The Base Commander’s voice was extremely cold. Perhaps it’s because he possessed a powerful superpower; just opening his mouth to speak exerted a strong sense of oppression on others.
Bai Xiqin wasn’t afraid of the man in front of her because he had a face quite similar to Leng Yebai’s, and she didn’t feel any danger from it.
After all, she often saw this serious face doing some juvenile things.
Leng Yebai wasn’t afraid either.
Because he always felt that the man in front of him owed him money.
When have you ever seen a debtor afraid of their creditor?
"We buried it here, but we didn’t kill it. It was this person who used Wind Blade to kill the little Zombie Dog."
Bai Xiqin calmly pointed to the Wind Ability User.
"Don’t spout nonsense, you buried it here, which is as good as killing it!" The Wind Ability User retorted with his neck straightened, "Surely, the many Zombie Dogs attacking the Security Base is because you killed the puppy. Base Commander, please make sure to kick them out!"
The Wind Ability User’s legs were trembling a bit.
When the Zombie Dogs attacked the Security Base, he realized that the little Zombie Dog he casually killed was the reason for their attack.
At this thought, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
If the Base Commander found out that it was all his fault, wouldn’t he be killed?
The Wind Ability User’s heart was in his throat.
Because he just realized, the man standing with that little girl really looked a lot like the Base Commander.
Could they be related by blood?
If they really are, then he definitely couldn’t survive in the Security Base anymore.
"There are traces of Wind Blade on the little Zombie Dog." Leng Yebai said indifferently.
The Base Commander, of course, saw the traces on the little Zombie Dog, but...
"What kind of Superpower Users are you?"
The Base Commander hadn’t even noticed that his voice had softened a lot when he said this.
"Thunder and Ice." Bai Xiqin replied.
She had just used Ice Ability in front of everyone, and Leng Yebai had used Thunder Ability, so there was no harm in saying it.
"You’re a Thunder Ability User?" The Base Commander looked at Leng Yebai.
Leng Yebai looked at the Base Commander with a calm expression, not saying a word.
"What kind of attitude is that, not even speaking to the Base Commander? Base Commander, let’s quickly expel these troublemakers!"
The Wind Ability User had completely lost his composure and directly pointed a finger at Leng Yebai’s face.
He even wanted to push Bai Xiqin, trying to eject them directly through the collapsed wall of the Security Base.
"Ah!"
The man screamed miserably, as purple lightning wrapped around his finger in an instant.
The purple lightning seriously scorched his finger, making it difficult for him to hold chopsticks in the future.
Leng Yebai slowly retracted his hand, a hint of fierceness in his eyes as he looked at the man.
Silence—
The onlooking superpower users looked from Leng Yebai to the Base Commander, unsure of what to do.
The Base Commander forbade fighting among superpower users in the Security Base, but Leng Yebai looked too much like the Base Commander, so they dared not drag him out.
While there have been people who defied the no-fighting rule in the base, it was the first time they saw someone fighting right in front of the Base Commander!
Such audacity!
"You’re like me, both Thunder Ability Users."
The Base Commander didn’t feel slighted by Leng Yebai’s actions, instead, he laughed at the purple lightning on Leng Yebai’s fingertips.
Song Hongfei looked at Leng Yebai, then the Base Commander, feeling as if he’d traveled through time.
The Base Commander and Leng Yebai looked too similar, he didn’t believe for a second they weren’t related by blood!
And, the Base Commander’s smile was way too gentle, wasn’t it?
He rarely saw the Base Commander smiling, and to be smiling at someone who looked so much like him – he definitely didn’t believe they weren’t related!
Leng Yebai glanced at the Base Commander, still showing no emotion.
Thunder Ability wasn’t an especially rare superpower. Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai were both Thunder Ability Users, so it wasn’t something unusual.
"The situation is clear, we’re leaving."
Leng Yebai glanced at the middle-aged man curled up on the ground clutching his hand, and started to walk away with Bai Xiqin’s hand in his.
"Young man, what’s your name?"
The Base Commander stepped forward, seeming very interested in Leng Yebai.
For the first time, Song Hongfei saw the Base Commander so... approachable.
"Leng Yebai." Leng Yebai’s voice remained cool.
"What a coincidence, I also have the surname Leng. Where’s your family from?" The Base Commander’s eyes flashed with a hint of hope as he took two big steps toward Leng Yebai.
Song Hongfei saw that the Base Commander’s fingers were trembling slightly, as if suppressing his emotions.
"S City." Leng Yebai replied impatiently, heading toward the bus with Bai Xiqin.
He didn’t know why he suddenly felt so agitated, it seemed so inexplicable.
He hated when people asked him this question the most because he didn’t have a family; growing up in an orphanage meant he didn’t have a real home.
Even after buying a house later on, he never felt that it was his home; it was just cement walls with no hint of a human touch.
But after meeting Xiao Niu, he considered Xiao Niu’s place his home; at times, he even hoped others would ask where his home was.
Because he could then confidently say that he did have a home, and his home was with Xiao Niu.
Yet, when the person in front of him asked that question, he felt particularly annoyed, for no evident reason.
"Base Commander, they were the ones who killed the puppy!"
The middle-aged man curled up on the ground, seeing Leng Yebai leaving with Bai Xiqin and disregarding the Base Commander, quickly smeared them in front of the Base Commander.
"Hongfei, expel him from the Security Base and never let him back in again."
The Base Commander left this command, ignoring whatever expressions others might have, and strode toward the bus. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
As the bus door was about to close, a large hand covered the door, and a face similar to Leng Yebai’s appeared before the Bai Family.
"What are you doing here?"
Leng Yebai frowned at the man standing before him.
The Base Commander glanced at the interior of the bus, a faint smile on his face.
"Is this where you usually live?"
It’s clear that the Base Commander wasn’t used to smiling. When he did, the muscles in his face seemed stiff, and the corners of his mouth were somewhat unnatural.
Yet he tried hard to muster a smile.
His gaze landed on Leng Yebai’s face.
Perhaps others thought that Leng Yebai looked a lot like him.
But he thought that Leng Yebai’s eyes looked a lot like those of his wife, who had passed away years ago.
He thought, if that child were still alive, he would probably look much like the young man in front of him.
Features similar to his and his wife’s, especially those eyes, were exactly like hers.
Leng Yebai nodded slightly, avoiding the Base Commander’s gaze.
"You’re our Base Commander, right? Please sit down and rest; you must be tired!"
Bai Zhengxuan, all smiles, pulled the Base Commander to the sofa and cheerfully poured him a cup of tea.
Just now, the Base Commander had taken action, bringing down a swath of Zombie Dogs, truly impressive.
The most surprising thing to Bai Zhengxuan was that the Base Commander had a face similar to Leng Yebai.
"Thank you, the tea is quite nice."
The Base Commander smiled warmly at Bai Zhengxuan, a stark contrast to his cold demeanor outside, and appreciatively drank all the tea in the cup.
After finishing the tea, the Base Commander turned back to speak with Leng Yebai.
"You’re from S City? Did you grow up there?"
