Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 162: Classmate

"I want this cat. I’ll trade for it with this."

Bai Yifan grimly pulled out three pieces of chocolate from his pocket.

The three children stared fixedly at the chocolate in Bai Yifan’s hand.

Chocolate, something they hadn’t tasted in a long while.

"Not enough, add another ten pieces!"

A child named Xiao Yang greedily eyed the chocolate in Bai Yifan’s hand, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth as his eyes sparkled brightly.

"This is all I have. Are you trading or not?"

Bai Yifan didn’t intend to give more. To him, the kitten was priceless, but in the apocalypse, at most, it’s worth a piece of chocolate.

He could easily use his superpower to intimidate them and take the kitten.

But he understood the survival environment for humans in this world was extremely difficult.

Even a piece of meat was hard for ordinary people to come by.

If he took the kitten directly, the adults watching from afar wouldn’t just stand by.

He didn’t want to cause trouble. They’re all living in the safe zone, and a fight could lead to their deaths, which wouldn’t be good.

The elder sister said there are still more zombies than survivors.

So, if it can be resolved with words, use words.

If it really doesn’t work, then fight them.

"How about adding two more pieces?"

The little boy licked his lips, eyes still fixed on the crystal core in Bai Yifan’s hand, reaching his dirty hand towards the chocolate.

"No way, this is all I have!"

Bai Yifan raised his hand coldly, refusing to increase the price.

He understood that even without adding more, the three kids were sure to agree.

Three pieces of chocolate, eaten sparingly, could sustain an adult’s energy for several days.

"Alright! You give us three pieces of chocolate, and we’ll give you the kitten!"

The little boy’s eyes darted around as he flashed a grin at Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan didn’t hand over the chocolate right away but gestured to the distant parents.

Showing them the chocolate in his hand.

Bai Yifan noticed the fixed gaze from the parents, understanding they got the message.

Only then, under their watchful eyes, did he hand out the chocolate to the three kids, one piece each.

Then, Bai Yifan bent down and cradled the kitten in his arms.

"Meow—"

The kitten weakly meowed at Bai Yifan twice, blood trickling from its mouth.

It had been kicked around severely by the children and was suffering from internal injuries, seemingly close to its limit.

Bai Yifan gently stroked the kitten, planning to take it back to his sister to recuperate in the space for a few days.

Inside the space, the kitten would surely survive well.

As Bai Yifan walked a few steps, the three children rushed over, blocking his path.

"Why are you stealing our cat? Put it down now!"

The little boy stuffed the chocolate into his pocket, anger etched on his face as he glared at Bai Yifan.

As if Bai Yifan had stolen his most precious possession.

"Yeah, give our cat back!"

"You’re so grown up, and you have the nerve to steal a cat from kids? Shame on you!"

The three children blinked their innocent eyes, righteous indignation written across their faces.

The little kitten might not weigh much, but at night, their parents could stew it, providing several bites of meat and spoonfuls of soup!

"I traded your cat for chocolate, don’t push it!" Bai Yifan’s face tightened, clearly displeased.

The weak kitten lay listlessly in Bai Yifan’s arms, its faint voice suggesting it might soon perish.

Bai Yifan had no intention of arguing with the children, unapologetically shoving them aside and walking away.

He needed to quickly take the kitten to his sister.

"Waa—big brother stole our cat!"

"And he hit us!"

"Mom and Dad, come quick!"

The three children suddenly sat on the ground, wailing and rolling.

Shame means nothing.

What they wanted was a taste of cat meat.

Hearing the children’s cries, the nearby adults immediately rushed over.

The first thing they did was surround Bai Yifan instead of checking on the kids.

"How can you steal our children’s cat? Put it down now."

A strong man folded his arms, blocking Bai Yifan’s way.

Bai Yifan looked at the six adults before him, frowning slightly.

They must be the parents of the three boys, whom he had seen before.

These children were the most lively in the living area because their parents were alive, and the three families had united into a small group.

This group consisted of six adults and three children.

All six adults were healthy, and in the safe base, no one dared to pick on them deliberately.

They were strong and fit at the base, faring better than others without mutual support.

While they seemed good in every aspect, the one flaw was their cowardice.

The six adults could easily form a team to slay zombies.

But they preferred a decadent life in the living area over battling zombies.

Now, six grown-ups were eyeing Bai Yifan greedily for a mere kitten.

"I traded chocolate for this cat," Bai Yifan exclaimed through gritted teeth, regretting not having brought his uncle’s garbage truck.

The adults were shameless!

Even more so than his dad... what’s that!

"Where did you come off saying it was your trade when I gave the chocolates to the kids?"

The burly man watched Bai Yifan from above, exuding animosity.

He appeared to be a tough character.

"You... really have no shame!"

Unable to hold back, Bai Yifan voiced his thoughts aloud.

"You!"

The strong man lunged at Bai Yifan, raising his fist for a punch.

Bai Yifan calmly stood his ground, enveloped in a layer of faint yellow light.

A cracking sound, the crunch of fracturing bones.

"Ah!"

The man’s yelps pierced the air.

"You hurt my dad! I’ll fight you to the death!"

The boy watched his father shivering and clutching his arm ominously, charging at Bai Yifan with fury.

Unperturbed, Bai Yifan remained in place as they tried to "bully" him.

At home, he was the victim of beatings.

Outside, he could protect himself.

Before the boy reached Bai Yifan, his mother yanked him back tightly. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The yellow glow surrounding Bai Yifan made all six adults’ pupils shrink.

Superpower User!

In the living area, it was unwise to provoke a Superpower User.

Between ordinary people and Superpower Users lay a chasm.

A slight misstep could spell death.

Bai Yifan gently stroked the kitten, glanced at the adults and children, and turned away.

Composing deeds, leaving no trace.

Bai Yifan reached into his pocket, retrieving a piece of pastry wrapped in tin foil.

It was a dessert made from milk powder mixed with Spiritual Spring Water.

The aroma of milk mingled with the sweetness of Spiritual Spring Water, Bai Yifan’s favorite treat, without question.

The rich milk fragrance lingered at the nose tip, as the kitten opened its eyes and cautiously licked the milk-filled dessert.

"Whimper..."

The kitten ate faster, emitting whimpering sounds.

It was the best thing it had eaten since birth!

Bai Yifan’s lips curled slightly, thinking that this little kitten was too tiny; he’d have to fatten it up like a Garfield!

"Xiao Fan, what are you doing here?"

A boy’s voice rang out, Bai Yifan turned his head to see his classmate.

"Zhao Zhen!"

Bai Yifan beheld the frail, short-statured boy, eyes brimming with joy.
