Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 204: It Is Everywhere

In Captain Zhu’s line of sight, Xiao Song was using his rotting teeth to tear at the blood on the crystal core.

He didn’t know how to absorb the crystal core.

He only knew how to devour flesh and blood.

Dull eyes, a rotting and hideous face, all declared that he had already become "it."

"Roar—"

Xiao Song’s throat emitted a growl similar to a beast’s, angrily pouncing towards Captain Zhu. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Unfortunately, it was firmly trapped in place by an iron chain.

Next to it was a pile of sinister white bones, all bearing marks of teeth gnawing.

On those sinister white bones, besides the tooth marks, there were also... marks from being slashed with a knife.

Captain Zhu had truly treated the survivors as food.

Captain Zhu stared blankly at Bai Xiqin, but saw the furious appearance of Xiao Song.

He painfully covered his face, and his voice squeezed out from his hand.

"Rest assured, no matter what, I will make you like Fan Tangtang and Zhang Yiming—a high rank zombie."

Captain Zhu’s voice was very light, yet exceptionally firm.

No matter what, he absolutely would not give up.

"So you colluded with the institute, raised the ant queen, hunted superpower users, and harmed the lives of ordinary survivors?" Bai Xiqin stared intently at Captain Zhu.

Bai Xiqin’s words, through the effect of pollen, acted on Captain Zhu’s brain.

In his eyes, Bai Xiqin still appeared as a hideous zombie, yet a strong voice in his heart questioned him.

Questioned whether the sight of his hands stained with blood was worth it.

"The institute will succeed. They will develop medicine that turns zombies into humans and will even turn ordinary people into superpower users. By then, everything I’ve done will be worth it!"

Captain Zhu mumbled to himself, voicing the reassurance he had constantly given himself.

"Where is the institute located? Who is in charge?" Bai Xiqin intently stared at Captain Zhu.

Reborn in the apocalypse, family safe and healthy, the only flaw was that the institute hadn’t been found.

Its existence posed a great threat to strong superpower users.

As long as the institute isn’t blown up one day, she won’t feel settled.

"It’s everywhere." Captain Zhu’s expression was dazed and he twitched his lips, "Ancient legends are true, the true god will eventually descend. It will bring peace. The institute will definitely resurrect it someday. One day everyone will be superpower users..."

Captain Zhu’s face became somewhat sinister, seemingly distrustful of what he had seen, yet the sight existed and deeply stimulated him.

"What did you see?" Bai Xiqin asked.

Captain Zhu didn’t speak.

"What did you see?" Bai Xiqin asked again.

Captain Zhu still didn’t speak.

Bai Xiqin asked several times, but Captain Zhu still tightly clenched his teeth and didn’t say a word.

The pollen from the Purple Mandala Flower was dense to the extreme, yet still couldn’t pry open Captain Zhu’s mouth.

This indicated that for him, the matter was unspeakable.

To the point of being unspeakable, even if he died, he would never say it aloud.

For such a secret, the power of the Mandala Flower’s pollen was still far from enough for him to reveal it.

"Where is the institute?" Bai Xiqin asked the question again.

"It’s everywhere." Captain Zhu still gave the same answer. His dazed face was silent for a moment, then said, "All our experiments are for mankind’s survival, to let humanity continue."

"What does ’everywhere’ mean?" Bai Xiqin furrowed her brows, feeling a bad premonition.

"Anyone can create an institute. The one that damned siblings broke into is called an institute. Any place capable of experimentation can be called an institute."

Captain Zhu murmured, eyes filled with longing.

"Ancient legends are true?" Leng Yebai suddenly spoke, "You’ve all started various experiments for that legend."

Leng Yebai suddenly realized that Captain Zhu might have been brainwashed by some obsession.

Captain Zhu was dazed, not speaking, only murmuring to himself.

"Xiao Song, rest assured, even if you cannot become human, I will certainly make you a high rank zombie."

Captain Zhu looked in Bai Xiqin’s direction.

His eyes carried a firmness.

Subconsciously accepting Leng Yebai’s words, hence not retorting.

Bai Xiqin’s heart sank to the bottom.

So, the place she was imprisoned in her past life was likely established by a member of some secret organization.

That organization might even be an evil cult organization.

Vast apocalypse, who knows which members are doing the experiments.

"Where is your partner’s laboratory?"

Leng Yebai coldly asked again.

Captain Zhu shook his head blankly.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai asked many questions yet still didn’t find clues about the secret organization.

Captain Zhu’s laboratory was merely the birthplace of the ant queen. His desire was merely the fifth rank crystal core, to give Xiao Song a chance to become a high rank zombie.

As for the close relationship with Zhao Mimi, it was because Zhao Mimi could buy children, allowing him to feed Xiao Song delicious flesh and blood while protecting his image...

Regarding that secret organization, they asked many questions, but Captain Zhu didn’t reveal any useful clues.

Zhao Mimi might have been a breakthrough, but she was already gone.

The clues were severed again.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

"Xiao Zhu, do you smell something strange?"

There was knocking at the door and the voice of a middle-aged man outside.

It was Captain Zhu.

All ten captains lived in the same area. He was a wood ability user, and in his past life was the owner of the Mandala Flower. It seemed inevitable he would perceive the fragrance of the Mandala Flower.

Cold steel needles flew into the air, straight towards Captain Zhu’s temple.

Captain Zhu used to be a good man, but now he raised the mutated ant queen and fed survivors as food to zombies.

Bai Xiqin felt that killing him amounted to serving justice.

If he ever created a few more mutated ant queens, it would be a disaster.

Ding—

The steel needle didn’t pierce Captain Zhu’s temple but was blocked by a piece of iron that suddenly appeared.

"Boom!"

Captain Zhu kicked open the back door, the golden light in his hand reaching its peak.

"It’s you?"

Captain Zhu was slightly chubby, his eyes fixed on Bai Xiqin’s wrist, his nose slightly twitching.

That peculiar aroma pervaded the tip of his nose, making him exceedingly infatuated.

Ever since his base was mysteriously breached last time, his crystal core supply was cut off.

The superpower users he had raised in the living area joined other superpower teams, sometimes ostracizing Captain Zhu’s team.

Although life wasn’t difficult for him, it was too unsatisfactory compared to before.

On the surface, Captain Zhu didn’t get along well with him, but in fact, it was Captain Zhu who told him about the ability to extract crystal cores from human brains.

Bai Xiqin watched the golden light in his hand and squinted her eyes.

Everyone knew Captain Zhu was a high rank wood ability user. Now it seemed he hid his strength. He was a wood and gold dual ability!

Moreover, worthy of being the former owner of the Purple Mandala Flower, naturally immune to its eerie fragrance.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai didn’t waste words, directly attacking Captain Zhu.

Captain Zhu wasn’t a good person, raising survivors to extract crystal cores.

Captain Zhu and Captain Zhu might be closer than they appeared on the surface. Both had used the method of extracting crystal cores from superpower users!

Purple lightning and overwhelming steel needles charged at Captain Zhu.
