Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 174: Fragrance of Flowers

"Roar――"

The zombies inside the supermarket have already sensed the commotion outside, scrambling towards the door.

Roars of anger echo from within.

Like a raging beast.

Bai Yifan’s hand involuntarily twitched as he timidly turned his head to ask Bai Xiqin, "Sis, how about we find another supermarket?"

"Are you scared?" Bai Xiqin retorted.

"No, I just suddenly didn’t feel like wearing shoes." Bai Yifan replied.

Shoes at this moment were no longer that important.

"Get back to work!" Bai Xiqin put her hands on her hips, looking utterly calm.

It’s been a while since any exercise, her hands felt rusty.

In the apocalypse, this is a big no-no.

If you want to live comfortably in the apocalypse and protect those you care about, you have to come out often to train yourself.

Simply absorbing crystal nuclei in a space isn’t enough.

Bai Yifan wiped his sweat, the roars of the zombies kept ringing in his ears.

Even though he had the Gold Ability and wasn’t afraid of the typical zombie bite, every time he saw those grotesque faces, he couldn’t help his hands and legs from trembling.

Shaky legs and hands are hard to fix, even if you become a V5.

With a crack, Bai Yifan removed the tightly welded metal from outside.

The door trembled slightly as the zombies inside frantically pressed towards the entrance.

It seemed as if the door would fall off any second.

Bai Yifan took off running, fleeing behind Bai Xiqin, finally letting out a slight breath of relief.

Behind his sister, it felt safe and secure.

Bai Xiqin gestured with her fingers, destroying the handle on the door.

The zombies inside flooded out in a rush.

"Roar――"

The grotesque-faced zombies were like a turbulent river; the ones in front were knocked over, yet those behind didn’t stop, trampling over them, scrambling out.

The scent of flesh and blood was fiercely drawing them.

They were much worse off than usual zombies, having been locked tight in the large supermarket, unable to get out.

The taste of flesh hadn’t been experienced in ages.

"Oh dear~"

Bai Yifan felt goosebumps all over, taking a step back.

Today’s zombies were particularly irritable.

With a light tap from Bai Xiqin’s fingers, the ordinary zombies in front immediately fell silent, toppling straight to the ground.

From their temples, black blood flowed.

"Catch!"

As Bai Xiqin spoke, a series of crystal nuclei landed at Bai Yifan’s feet.

Typically, Bai Xiqin didn’t use this ability, as Wang Yiyun and Liu Jing were addicted to dissecting zombies and stopped Bai Xiqin from directly taking out the crystal nuclei from their brains.

Crystal cores, when dug out by hand, were best.

Bai Yifan shivered, pulling out a neatly folded sack from his coat with trembling hands.

Whenever going out with the family, bringing a sack was a must.

Bending over, Bai Yifan shakily stuffed the crystal nuclei into the sack.

Behind his sister was safe, but with the dense crowd of zombies rushing out, any normal person would be frightened!

Bai Yifan collected the crystal nuclei, feeling fortunate.

Fortunately, he prepared for everything; today he definitely wouldn’t embarrass himself.

The stockpile of baby formula, pacifiers, and diapers before the apocalypse had all come in handy!

Not a bit wasted!

The crystal nuclei fell to the ground one after another with a series of clinks.

Bai Yifan dared not glance at the supermarket entrance, quickly picking up the crystal nuclei on the ground.

But they kept dropping, never-ending, impossible to pick them all up.

How annoying~

The pile of zombie bodies at the entrance blocked the ones behind from getting out.

Bai Xiqin wiped the light sweat off her forehead and moved the zombie bodies aside with her Control Ability.

"Xiao Niu, take a break."

Leng Yebai glanced affectionately at Bai Xiqin, his long fingers crackling with dense purple lightning.

The purple lightning, like a purple beast, howled as it struck the zombies at the entrance.

Instantly, the zombies fell to the ground in swathes.

Once the zombies were dead, Bai Xiqin used her control to extract the crystal nuclei from their brains.

Extracting nuclei from already dead zombies was much less effort.

The zombies kept pushing towards the door; a dense crowd fell there, black blood flooding the ground.

Bai Yifan’s sack was getting heavier, more than half full from collecting.

An hour later, the supermarket fell utterly silent, with no zombies pushing out anymore.

This meant the ordinary zombies had been completely wiped out.

The ones that stayed inside were High Rank Zombies; they could sense danger.

Even though the scent of human flesh drove them mad with desire, they resisted, hiding in various corners of the supermarket, waiting for the right moment.

The zombie pile at the supermarket entrance blocked the road, lined up neatly and spectacularly.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai walked into the supermarket, their faces unchanged, full of calm.

Bai Yifan struggled to shoulder the half-filled sack of crystal nuclei, stumbling as he followed Bai Xiqin inside.

Inside the supermarket was chaotic, with black blood splattered everywhere.

The first thing Bai Xiqin did was find a pair of shoes for Bai Yifan.

After all, he was her own little brother.

Even if he was timid, even if he was silly, he was still her brother.

He deserved some caring.

Bai Yifan hurriedly put his shoes on, his eyes curving in a slight smile.

He knew it; he was the most pampered in the family.

For example, although mom and dad spoiled his sister the most, his sister spoiled him the most.

Rounding it up, he was the most beloved!

Inside the supermarket was beyond messy, with various shelves knocked over by zombies, resources trampled into chaos.

Even so, there were still lots of resources available.

Some grains and flour were still neatly stacked on the side, and the packaged food remained edible.

Bai Xiqin didn’t touch the outside resources, choosing to take those from the warehouse inside; at least it wouldn’t let others discover the existence of their space.

The supplies in the space were enough for their family to live on; even if Earth exploded, they could live well in the space.

Gathering resources was no longer that important; the key was to improve their combat skills.

Inside the supermarket was eerily quiet, as if no zombies were there.

Bai Xiqin’s dark eyes scanned the place, still seeing no zombies.

The three stopped, standing still.

The supermarket grew even quieter instantly, quiet enough to only hear the breathing of Bai Xiqin and the others.

Bai Xiqin stood there, her eyes scanning around.

A faint green light entwined her hands, with the vibrant Wood Ability infused into a purple Mutated Mandala Flower.

The purple flower became even more enchanting.

A light floral scent spread rapidly, centered around Bai Xiqin.

Bai Yifan took a deep breath, finding the floral scent unusually pleasant, alluring without being vulgar, unlike the pungent overload of regular blooms.

The Mandala Flower had hallucinogenic properties, the Mutated Mandala Flower having been in the space for so long, could perfectly exert its effect under Bai Xiqin’s control.

It could choose to make humans hallucinate or make zombies hallucinate.

The floral scent slowly filled the entire supermarket.

For Bai Yifan, it was a light floral scent, but for zombies, it was the most maddening smell of blood.

Even the strongest zombie might not resist this temptation.

Bam——

From a corner of the supermarket came the sound of a snack package being crushed.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai exchanged glances, walking towards the sound’s source.

Bai Yifan bit his lip, pulling from his pocket a candy made from compressed milk powder, popping it into his mouth. With the sack on his back, he followed Bai Xiqin and the other.
