Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 293: Do You Want to Step Out for a Moment?

Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Do You Want to Step Out for a Moment?

Daybreak has come.

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

The quiet village was empty, devoid of any people.

At the entrance of a small courtyard in the center, a regular zombie wearing a blue dress stood.

The dress on its body had become somewhat tattered.

The decaying flesh on its face was more pronounced, and its expression had become even more wooden and vacant.

The only thing that set it apart from the typical zombie was its tall figure, making it slightly more attractive than other Low Level zombies after transforming.

Fan Tangtang was still sitting in the courtyard solving math problems.

Grandpa Fan’s zombie, with stiff fingers, was struggling to bend them, holding an umbrella with its decaying hand.

The umbrella leaned towards Fan Tangtang.

Because Grandpa Fan’s zombie didn’t have the flexibility of a human body, the slight breeze caused the umbrella to tilt this way and that.

There was no difference between holding the umbrella and not holding it.

Fan Tangtang’s papers were all damp.

Fan Tangtang, with a contorted expression, gripped the pen, repeatedly solving problems on the paper.

All sorts of mathematical symbols emerged beneath his pen, densely packed.

The Fan Family couple were not afraid of the light rain, continuing to wash and scrub in the courtyard.

This was mainly because Grandpa Fan’s zombie needed a change of clothes and shoes every day due to getting dirty too quickly, leaving the Fan Family couple with endless chores.

In these recent days, more and more zombies had been entering and leaving this courtyard.

There was often black blood on the ground, and occasionally, a small piece of decayed flesh would be taken from a random zombie.

Before the apocalypse, the Fan Family couple were self-made entrepreneurs, but after the apocalypse, they only had endless household chores to attend to.

Even so, they were very fond of this village.

At least here, their family could live stably and securely.

If they left, they would have to face those so-called righteous people.

They would shout phrases like "uphold justice," intending to capture the son they had finally found.

Zhang Yiming sat in the living room, his long fingers tapping the table sporadically.

In front of him stood several High Rank Zombies.

These High Rank Zombies bore rotting flesh but wore relatively clean clothes, much cleaner compared to ordinary zombies.

They stood timidly before Zhang Yiming, eyes cast to the ground.

The living room was very quiet; without speaking, Zhang Yiming directly read the scenes they had witnessed from their minds.

Five minutes later, the High Rank Zombies slowly exited the living room.

The Fan Family couple noticed that the High Rank Zombies that just came out seemed to walk with a bit more cheer.

As though they had breathed a sigh of relief.

The Fan Family couple sneaked a glance toward the living room and continued their washing.

They were humans and couldn’t sense what kind of existence Zhang Yiming was among the zombies.

They only knew that all zombies trembled in his presence like mice before a cat.

After this group of High Rank Zombies left, another group of High Rank Zombies walked in.

The Fan Family couple acted as though they didn’t see them and continued washing things.

They emitted a scent of flesh and blood; the High Rank Zombies had much more sensitive olfactory senses than ordinary zombies.

They smelled it but still timidly made their way inside the living room, not daring to hiss at the Fan Family couple.

"Vroom—"

The roar of a motorcycle came from outside the village.

The Fan Family couple looked a little surprised.

Who would dare to be so bold?

Though the zombies in the village usually didn’t come out, that didn’t mean they didn’t exist.

The village surroundings were covered in black blood, and after several battles with Captain Zhu from Fire Phoenix Safety Base, almost everyone nearby knew there was an incredibly powerful Zombie King here.

No one dared to pass within five kilometers of this place.

The Fan Family couple had just been surprised for a few seconds when a sleek black motorcycle crashed through the gate and sped into the courtyard.

"Bang!"

The motorcycle did not brake, scraped past Grandpa Fan zombie’s body, swept up Fan Tangtang’s papers, and crashed into the wall.

The loud noise echoed, and the motorcycle was severely deformed.

A man flew off the motorcycle, landing heavily on the ground.

The man let out a muffled groan and then fell unconscious.

"Oh! Isn’t this Xiao Leng!"

Fan Liping immediately noticed Leng Yebai covered in black and red blood.

There was a sound from the living room; before Fan Liping could rush to Leng Yebai’s side, Zhang Yiming was already squatting beside him.

"Leng Yebai!" Zhang Yiming shook Leng Yebai’s shoulder, a fleeting moment of panic in his eyes.

What’s going on!

What happened to them?

How is Xiao Niu?

He hadn’t forgotten what his wrathful self once said.

He said she was dead.

Zhang Yiming gripped Leng Yebai’s shoulder tightly, almost crushing it.

Clearly, he should have been an emotionless zombie, yet his heart was in turmoil.

"Xiao Ming, he’s injured, you..." Fan Liping said urgently as he watched the unconscious Leng Yebai cough up blood, "Be gentle!"

Zhang Yiming’s fingers gripped Leng Yebai’s shoulder fiercely, ignoring his wounds as he continued to shake his shoulder vigorously.

He had to find out, how is Xiao Niu, and where is she now!

Anyone but her could die.

Leng Yebai kept his eyes closed tightly; apart from the wound on his leg, there were many more scratches on his body, all self-inflicted to stay awake.

The recent intense collision made him lose consciousness, and even lying there, a violent aura emanated from him.

"Wake up! Where is Xiao Niu! Tell me!"

Zhang Yiming’s nails almost dug into Leng Yebai’s flesh, his body exuding a tangible aura of violence.

"...Xiao Niu."

Leng Yebai murmured the name softly, his voice full of reluctance and yearning.

But he still did not wake up.

"Leng Yebai!"

Zhang Yiming continued to shake Leng Yebai’s shoulders forcefully.

More blood oozed from Leng Yebai’s wounds.

Brown blood flowed from his leg injury, while the scratches from a dagger on his body leaked red blood.

However, this red blood wasn’t the hue of healthy blood; it had a tinge of brown.

"Xiao Ming, how about I give it a try?"

Fan Liping was also quite anxious seeing the injured Leng Yebai, aware that the Bai Family once helped them.

Zhang Yiming glanced at Fan Liping, a hint of violence in his eyes, his fingers tightly grasping Leng Yebai’s shoulder, wishing to shatter it.

Fan Liping pretended not to see the violence in Zhang Yiming’s eyes. He was human and wasn’t afraid of zombie aggression.

Fan Tangtang and the other zombies were already trembling on their knees when Zhang Yiming grabbed Leng Yebai’s shoulders.

Fan Liping took a couple of quick steps to squat beside Leng Yebai, carefully patting Zhang Yiming’s hand.

Afraid he might actually crush Leng Yebai to death.

Zhang Yiming, his face cold, stared intently at Leng Yebai’s arm.

If he chopped off an arm, could he wake him up?

"Ahem, I think my method could work, Xiao Ming, would you like to step away for a bit?" Fan Liping tentatively asked.

Leng Yebai was deeply unconscious and hard to awaken unless his deepest obsession was spoken by his ear to stimulate him.

"Speak!" Zhang Yiming shot a cold glance at Fan Liping.

Fan Liping hesitated for a moment, then carefully leaned down.

He clenched his teeth, deciding to ignore Zhang Yiming. He whispered softly into Leng Yebai’s ear.

"If you don’t wake up, Xiao Niu will run away with Xiao Ming."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Leng Yebai’s body moved slightly.

"...Xiao Niu, don’t go."

Suddenly, Leng Yebai reached out, grabbed Zhang Yiming’s hand, and pulled it into his embrace.

Zhang Yiming: ...
