Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!
Chapter 456: Rivers, Seas, and Streams
The terrifying aura gradually approached bit by bit.
Thinking about the task given by Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming that had yet to be completed, the three Zombie Kings couldn’t help but shiver again.
Truly like three generations of a family, shivering at the same frequency.
Ten minutes later, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming rode his motorcycle straight into the first-floor lobby.
The violent aura unconsciously emitted from his body made the nearby zombies tremble, this was an instinctive fear.
"Bo-boss, is there something you need from us?"
Li Nian had a stiff smile on his face, his voice stuttering.
Back in the day, negotiating billion-dollar contracts never made him this nervous.
"Have you found the human organization I told you to look for?"
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s cold gaze fell upon the family of Zombie Kings.
"N-not yet, but don’t worry boss, we will find those strange people soon and hand them over to you."
Li Nian’s smile grew even more stiff, his body trembling like a sieve.
Afraid that they would be dissected for their crystal cores just because they hadn’t found the people yet.
The power gap left them with no ability to resist, and they might even, under their boss’s brainwave, end up killing each other to extract the other’s crystal core.
This was the most terrifying aspect.
The battles between Zombie Kings only depended on whose brainwaves were stronger; the loser could not escape, subject to slaughter.
While the family of Zombie Kings was trembling with fear, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s face remained expressionless.
He had also searched for that organization’s people for a long time, knowing Wang Ge’s whereabouts should be in Shanghai, but couldn’t pinpoint his exact location.
The fact that the family of Zombie Kings hadn’t found them was expected.
"Keep looking, his name is Wang Ge."
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s cold voice echoed.
At the same time, a youthful face appeared in the family of Zombie Kings’ minds.
This youth looked about sixteen or seventeen, with a somewhat shadowed expression not typical for someone his age.
This was the image that their boss transmitted to them via brainwave.
"Alright, alright, we will definitely look for this person!"
"Yes, yes, boss, don’t worry!!"
"You don’t need to worry about this, we’ll handle it!"
The family of Zombie Kings nodded repeatedly, inwardly sighing with relief.
As long as the boss wasn’t angry at them, it’s fine. They couldn’t even imagine what it would be like if the boss went mad.
It would probably be more terrifying than the end of the world.
At least after the apocalypse, they were still "alive."
Li Mo quietly lifted his head, looking towards the back of Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s motorcycle.
The large trunk was locked, and he didn’t know what was inside. Could it be those pink, bizarre items?
Li Mo was a young man in his early twenties, full of thoughts.
If the boss truly liked those strange things, they could certainly gather more of them as offerings.
Li Mo pondered, wondering if the boss liked those pink Barbie dolls!
After giving the Zombie King family the youth’s appearance, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming left.
Until the terrifying aura from Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming could no longer be felt, the family of Zombie Kings finally breathed a complete sigh of relief.
Three generations of zombies silently went upstairs and collapsed on the sofa.
The brainwaves in each of the three Zombie Kings’ heads erupted simultaneously, extending outward from the center of the entire building.
Zombies encountering this wave paused for a second, then continued their aimless wandering on the streets.
The family of Zombie Kings was using brainwaves to trace a young person’s whereabouts.
...
A pitch-black motorcycle sped down the road, with the congested zombies ahead scattering to clear a path.
When the motorcycle had traveled a great distance, the zombies resumed their aimless wandering.
The motorcycle sped incredibly fast, never stopping from day to night.
The motorcycle seemed never to tire, much like its master, only occasionally emitting a soft creaking sound.
The creaking sound carried a hint of sadness, indistinguishable as to whether it was the motorcycle’s sorrow or its master’s.
When the moon hung in the sky, a pitch-black motorcycle stopped on the Huangpu River Bridge.
Moonlight cast over the Huangpu River, the surface calm and still, scattered with some tourist boats moored on the water.
Before the apocalypse, many enjoyed night cruises on the Huangpu River, admiring the scenery.
Now the lights were no more, with only the cold moonlight around.
No zombies wandered near the Huangpu River, not due to Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s influence, but because the zombies feared what lurked in the river.
Seas, rivers, and lakes cover over 70% of the Earth’s total area.
The entire planet had mutated, with not only land creatures changing, but sea creatures undergoing horrifying mutations too.
If Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming was the emperor on land, the ocean contained entities even more powerful than him.
The ocean also had zombie animals, with jet-black blood, but the vastness of the ocean slowly purifies zombie viruses, even if they fall into it.
The ocean had too many infected zombie marine animals with viruses that couldn’t be purified, turning them into zombie marine creatures.
Luckily, the ocean can purify zombie viruses. Even if it can’t save those turned into zombie animals, it can still protect normal marine life.
As on land, as long as one wasn’t bitten by a zombie animal, those marine creatures remained normal.
No zombie on land was a match for Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming. For him to evolve to a higher level, he needed to absorb crystal cores of a higher rank than his own.
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming was eager to enhance his superpower, even though it was already terrifyingly powerful.
In fact, he was dissatisfied with his superpower.
The reason Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming became an emperor was due to the powerful brainwaves in his mind, allowing him to lead zombie hordes.
This leadership diminished his longing for enhancing his superpower.
It can be admitted that his superpower now isn’t different from that over a decade ago.
Reality had made him decide to aid his past self with a true determination to make the world peaceful.
His desire to make the world peaceful wasn’t out of conscience or concern for the world, but simply to make this world slightly better for someone’s existence.
He understood that as more time passed, the Earth’s changes would grow, and its creatures would become stronger. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
If he couldn’t enhance his strength, it would be truly challenging to protect someone on Earth.
To prevent past regrets from repeating, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming began hunting zombie animals to enhance his superpower for the first time.
For over a decade as Zombie Emperor, there wasn’t anyone to protect, so enhancing his superpower wasn’t a major desire.
The reason he remained undefeated was still his ability to command thousands of zombies.
But now things were different, he couldn’t always rely on zombies, with their filthy forms, appearing before that person daily!
