Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!
Chapter 452: Mostly Relying on Talent
"Not surprising."
Uncle Liu shook his head expressionlessly.
Being chased by a horde of zombies isn’t strange. What’s strange is being chased by a horde of zombies every day!
Uncle Liu suspected that Old Wang might have stirred up a zombie nest!
Luckily, these two uncles are very fortunate; if it were ordinary people, they would have already been screaming together!
This is probably what they call tough luck!
Old Liu didn’t believe in this saying before, but later he did.
People like them, who can still live after being chased all over by zombies, definitely have the destiny of a lone star of calamity!
"By the way, do you know where the nearest gas station is?"
Uncle Liu frowned as he looked at the pitch-black garbage truck.
Without gasoline, they can’t move. With Old Wang’s zombie-attracting physique, they need to be ready to flee at any time; having no gasoline is dangerous.
No matter how strong the superpower, there’s a day when it’s exhausted, and it’s more reliable to have the garbage truck running.
If they can fight, they fight. If not, they run!
"I know, I’m very familiar with Shanghai, but all the gas stations have been taken over by some forces, and they won’t sell gasoline, so there’s no way you can buy any." Wang Lu adjusted his glasses, his face gleaming with wisdom, "However, I can get you some gasoline!"
"Really?"
Uncle Liu breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing that Wang Lu could get gasoline.
Roaming around with Old Wang, having no gasoline is really not an option; they’d end up dead in a pile of zombies sooner or later.
"Yes!"
Wang Lu nodded affirmatively, pressing his finger against his pocket.
He planned to trade the most precious thing he had with that family he just met!
He heard them talking about novels by a certain famous author, and he was sure he could trade his peculiar autograph photo of that author for some gasoline from them.
"What are your conditions?"
Uncle Liu understood that in the post-apocalypse, no one helps without a reason.
"I only have one condition." Wang Lu had an embarrassed smile on his face.
Uncle Liu raised an eyebrow, feeling like the young man was about to ask for something outrageous.
"Let me be clear, if it’s particularly difficult, we’ll find it ourselves!" Uncle Liu rubbed his nose.
He and Old Wang didn’t usually collect supplies either; they were too lazy to dig crystal cores, and the ones they collected were mostly absorbed or exchanged for food.
The supplies in their garbage truck were pitifully meager.
They ate wherever they went, never bothering to stock up on anything.
If the other party demanded too much, they really wouldn’t have it.
They might as well find it themselves; given their strength, they’d eventually get some gasoline.
Just like how they hadn’t starved even though they rarely collected supplies.
Wang Lu smiled awkwardly and slowly said, "I just want to ask you two uncles how to make so many zombies chase after you and not let go?"
Uncle Liu: ???
Uncle Wang was also a bit surprised. He dug his ear with his hand and said, "What? Could you ask again? I think I misheard!"
"I just want to ask you two uncles how to be chased by so many zombies wanting to bite you!"
Wang Lu repeated the question, thinking the two uncles might be hard of hearing, and his voice was louder.
Uncle Liu silently glanced at Uncle Wang and said seriously, "That mainly depends on talent. The average person can’t learn it!"
Only Uncle Wang could provoke a zombie horde wherever he went, and be chased by them for fun!
Others lack this talent!
"Is it very difficult?" Wang Lu frowned slightly and then clenched his fist, saying determinedly, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely learn well!"
Uncle Liu: ...
This person probably has a screw loose!
This is the first time I’ve seen someone wanting to learn the skill of being chased by zombies!
Uncle Wang also glanced at Wang Lu and thought the guy was out of his mind.
Being chased by a zombie horde is easily achievable; just standing still can do it, so why learn?
It’s something that happens easily anyway!
It’s simpler than eating or drinking, so why learn?
"Young man, the world is still a beautiful place. I suggest you don’t learn it; normal people can’t learn it!"
Uncle Liu shook his head, then turned to Uncle Wang and said, "Let’s go! Let’s find some gas!"
"Alrighty!"
Uncle Wang raised an eyebrow and followed Uncle Liu.
The two uncles agreed that Wang Lu was out of his mind; the possibility of him bringing back gas was slim, so it was better to find it themselves.
"Hey, hey, hey, don’t go!" Wang Lu caught up to the two uncles’ pace and continued, "I really have a way to trade for gasoline; just teach me the skill!"
He genuinely wanted to quickly learn the skill of being chased by a zombie horde!
"Farewell!"
Uncle Liu waved his hand and stopped paying attention to Wang Lu.
Wang Lu, adhering to the principle of not abandoning or giving up, continued to follow the two uncles.
"Uncles, rest assured, all you have to do is tell me how to get chased by a zombie horde, and I’ll definitely tell you where there’s a bus you can trade for gasoline," Wang Lu babbled.
He thought the Bai Family he just ran into was very formidable, and the bus they drove had a large fuel tank, capable of holding a lot of gasoline.
If he could use their family’s idol’s autograph photo, he was sure he could trade it for some gasoline.
After all, this was the autograph photo of a super-duper famous author!
"A bus? What color is this bus?" Uncle Liu blinked.
He only knew of one family that drove a bus, and that was the Bai Family.
Could it really be such a coincidence!
"Blue and white! The family inside is quite formidable, you surely couldn’t win against them in a fight, only trade for what they most desire!" Wang Lu said seriously.
"Blue and white? Hey! The Bai family’s bus is blue and white!" Uncle Wang grinned.
The Bai family’s pork and leek dumplings are unparalleled.
If it really was their bus, it would be great to go over and have a feast!
"Let’s go! Take us over to see!"
Uncle Liu’s eyes lit up, and he instinctively touched his belly.
Wang Lu saw the two uncles’ eyes light up and thought he had a chance, so he quickly led the two uncles toward the Bai Family’s direction.
They didn’t stop along the way, nor were they chased by zombies, proceeding smoothly.
When they got close to where the Bai Family’s bus was parked, they didn’t even need a guide anymore. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
They smelled the aroma of barbecue wafting through the air from afar.
Immediately, both uncles almost started drooling.
Ever since the Bai Family left the safe zone, they hadn’t had this taste again.
Following the scent, the two uncles ran straight to where the Bai Family was, running even faster than Wang Lu.
From a distance, Uncles Wang and Liu immediately saw Bai Zhengxuan busy barbecuing.
"Old Bai!"
"Old Bai! We’ve missed you so much!"
Uncles Wang and Liu cheerfully rushed toward Bai Zhengxuan, waving frantically.
Bai Zhengxuan was momentarily stunned, but when he saw who was coming, besides surprise, there was joy on his face.
The three big shots could actually reunite in Shanghai!
"What a coincidence!"
Bai Zhengxuan beamed as he looked at the two uncles who were spreading their arms open.
He didn’t expect them to be so open-hearted; they must truly miss him, long live the friendship of the big three!
Bai Zhengxuan happily spread his arms wide too.
Uncles Wang and Liu’s eyes gleamed with deep creases as they directly charged toward Bai Zhengxuan... or rather, the skewers in his hands.
"Old Bai, what brings you here to have some fun!"
Uncle Wang glanced at the barbecue grill piled high with food, his eyes twinkling, feeling no worry about not having enough food for the Bai Family, as he took hearty bites out of the skewer in his hand.
He truly appreciated the Bai Family more.
Wherever they went, they always had a pile of good food, and no matter how much you ate, it never ran out!
