Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 173: Embracing Nature

By the time Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai returned to the safe base, it was already daylight.

Leng Yebai was drenched, with sweat dripping from his clothes onto the ground.

The gatekeeper of the safe base looked at the soaking Wet Leng Yebai with curiosity.

Did he fall into the water?

As soon as the two entered the safe base, they smelled a strong aroma of meat.

The Giant Python that broke into the safe base along with the Mutated Giant Python yesterday was enough for everyone at the safe base to have a meal.

Everywhere you looked, everyone’s face was beaming with smiles, holding various bowls, each containing a sizable piece of meat.

"Please queue up orderly, bring your bowls, and at the entrance of the mission hall, everyone can get a piece of meat for free."

Zhao Mimi’s gentle voice echoed on the broadcast.

Many people hurriedly headed toward the mission hall, holding their bowls.

"Mommy, today is a really good day, I can eat meat!"

A child’s tender voice sounded, filled with a touch of longing.

"Good, walk a little faster, and there will be meat when we get there!"

"Mm, Mommy, it would be great if there was meat every day!"

The tender voice grew distant.

Bai Xiqin lowered her gaze slightly, thinking of that pile of white bones and the severed-tailed Giant Python.

She was not a vegetarian, but she still felt a bit uncomfortable inside.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai walked against the crowd, heading toward the big bus.

The bustling crowd, the joyful smiles.

No one would think of that pile of white bones from yesterday.

Survival of the fittest.

The law of survival is as it should be.

Now, with the energy tides breaking the old rule of humans standing at the top of the pyramid, who is truly the king?

After returning to the bus, Bai Xiqin took a look at the Mutated Giant Python in space.

The Mutated Giant Python’s condition in space was much better, and its broken tail was also significantly healed under the nourishment of the Spiritual Spring Water.

The Water Python was very happy, darting around in space, finding some herbs for the Mutated Giant Python to eat.

It felt like its master had found it a little buddy.

The Mutated Giant Python also had some special feelings for the Water Python.

This thumb-sized Water Python was exactly like when its child was first born!

Therefore, the relationship between the Water Python and the Mutated Giant Python became much closer.

One saw the other as a little buddy.

One saw the other as a son.

Beside the four big iron pots, there was another big iron pot.

The five shiny big iron pots became the most striking scenery in space.

"Time to eat!"

Bai Anhai’s voice rang inside the bus.

The whole family sat neatly in the living room, eating breakfast made by Bai Anhai.

The injury he got from being hit by the filial son Bai Yifan had fully healed after absorbing the Crystal Core.

He was full of energy, capable of taking down several Bai Yifan with a punch.

"Dad, you look so handsome today!"

Bai Yifan praised him against his conscience.

Hoping his dad could let go of the past and not hold grudges about being knocked over yesterday.

Bai Anhai glanced at Bai Yifan and calmly gave him a blackened fried egg.

"Crunch, crunch."

Bai Yifan bit it with a crispy sound.

"It’s really tasty!"

Bai Yifan grinned at Bai Anhai.

Bai Anhai rolled his eyes, ignoring him, though the corners of his mouth slightly turned up where Bai Yifan couldn’t see.

His silly son is indeed silly, never smart since childhood!

Fortunately, it was him who got hit yesterday.

If one of the Bai family women had been hit, the entire safe base would be having a feast today!

"Sis, are we going out to play today?"

Bai Yifan asked Bai Xiqin, making crunchy sounds from his mouth.

"Yes, we’re going out."

Bai Xiqin nodded slightly.

The end of the world is ever-changing, with various animals and plants quietly evolving.

If you stay in the safe base all the time, you’ll be like a frog in a well.

"Then I’ll go out with you!" Bai Yifan’s eyes sparkled.

Another chance to wander!

Bai Xiqin slightly furrowed her brows, looking seriously at Bai Yifan, "Okay, but no driving today, no driving any car!"

When Bai Yifan drives, it’ll surely be life-threatening!

Bai Yifan: ...

After breakfast, Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai took Bai Yifan out of the safe base.

Leng Yebai looked at Bai Yifan chattering beside Bai Xiqin and sighed softly.

Because of this road menace, he couldn’t even ride a bicycle.

Bai Xiqin touched the Mandala Flower Ring wrapped around her wrist; it was her first time taking the Mutated Mandala Flower with her.

All along, it would take root in space, nourished by the gentle energy there.

The Mutated Mandala Flower had become even more stunning.

The Mutated Mandala Flower calmly wrapped itself around Bai Xiqin’s wrist, a stark contrast to its previous attitude.

The worldly paradise-like existence in space had captured its heart, and it decided to loyally follow its master.

If its master lived, so would it.

If its master died, it... would avenge her!

It was already March, and everywhere were newly sprouted green buds, vibrant and full of life.

Some lush green grasses stubbornly rooted in the cement of buildings.

On the asphalt road, small grasses and trees took root and sprouted, making the scene lively.

The fresh smell filled the entire street, as if walking on a rural path.

"The air is so good!"

Bai Yifan took a deep breath, taking in a touch of spring, looked up at the blue sky, and his eyes slightly bent.

The feeling of embracing nature was truly wonderful.

"Xiao Fan, watch your step."

Leng Yebai’s cool voice came from behind Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan bent down, took a look at his foot, and his smile instantly froze.

Yellow stuff had smeared on his foot, with a faint indescribable smell.

Who was so lacking in public conscience!

Bai Xiqin calmly took a step to the side, slightly touching her nose with her fingers.

Bai Yifan stiffly walked to the side, quickly took off his shoes, and walked on the road in socks.

This time, no embracing nature, no appreciating the surrounding green life; his eyes glued to the ground.

No choice, in broad daylight, even if no one was around, Bai Xiqin wouldn’t directly take out a pair of shoes for Bai Yifan.

Luckily, Bai Xiqin soon saw a large chain supermarket in the distance.

"Let’s go! I’ll take you to find some shoes."

Bai Xiqin led Bai Yifan toward the large supermarket ahead.

Generally, large supermarkets are the hardest places to clear; they have a lot of supplies and also a lot of zombies.

As people evolve, zombies also evolve.

There are always a few First or Second Rank zombies in a large supermarket.

Even if there are many people in the safe base, as long as supplies are sufficient, they usually do not clear such tricky large supermarkets.

The safe base wouldn’t attempt it, but Bai Xiqin dared.

It was just the right time to try out the effect of the Mandala Flower.

The door of the large supermarket was welded shut by the people from the safe base to make it somewhat safer.

But no matter what or how they slaughter the zombies, those blank-faced zombies always wander slowly on the streets.

Too many people have turned into zombies, zombies are also evolving, and even survivors could become zombies.

No matter what, as long as the virus isn’t eliminated, zombies will always exist.

Bai Yifan reached out, pressing his hand on the welded metal at the entrance.

A faint yellow light shrouded the outside metal, and the metal began to deform at a slow pace.

Sweat appeared densely on Bai Yifan’s forehead, using a Gold Ability to control metal; the higher the ability of the superpower user, the more proficient the control over metal.

To control metal as a weapon, to be as powerful as the Magnetic King, one would need to be at least at the Third Rank pinnacle or higher.
