Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 251: Madman

The sound of bones being crunched made one’s scalp tingle.

Bai Yifan quickly coated himself in a golden aura and looked around.

Fortunately, everything still seemed safe.

The chewing sound was coming from the second floor.

Bai Xiqin glanced at everyone, asking if they should go up.

She noticed that her grandmother and mother were eager, their eyes gleaming as if they were about to rush in.

She saw her grandfather and father with pale faces, colorful superpowers emanating from their hands, clearly hesitant.

She noticed Leng Yebai looking down all the time, seemingly... at his own leg?

Realizing Bai Xiqin’s gaze, Leng Yebai awkwardly averted his eyes, ears slightly flushed.

The sun is so bright today, the weather is so hot!

"Sis, why not play some music to lure it down?" Bai Yifan silently took out his phone.

Although the sun was blazing hot today, he still felt somewhat safer standing in the sunlight.

"Okay!"

Glancing towards the second floor, Bai Xiqin also thought it might be safer to stand in the courtyard.

If mental patients turned into zombies, they would become more violent and uncontrollable, utterly mad zombies.

Legend has it, mad zombies are even tougher than high rank zombies!

So, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Bai Yifan turned on his phone and played some music.

"Don’t look at me just as a wolf~ A wolf’s intelligence is beyond imagination..."

A light and pleasant melody emanated from Bai Yifan’s phone, instantly satisfying Bai Xiqin’s childhood nostalgia.

"Poor choice, why not play the Sailor Moon theme song you watched the most as a child?" Liu Jing pouted.

She thought Sailor Moon was pretty good.

With a calm expression, Leng Yebai nodded along with the cheerful melody, seemingly quite pleased with the music.

"Grandma, I’ve grown up, who still watches Sailor Moon!" Bai Yifan pouted.

A mature man should be watching Pleasant Goat, that’s what a man should watch with passion!

Liu Jing shrugged, well, alright then!

Indeed, she still preferred her granddaughter a bit more; her grandson took after his grandpa, with a slightly abnormal mind.

The merry tune resonated throughout the courtyard, causing the sound of bones being chewed from the second floor to pause briefly before resuming its gnawing.

However, the chewing sounds seemed to change along with the tune.

Bai Xiqin’s eyes deepened; it was a person making the noise on the second floor.

After the cheerful melody finished playing, the chewing sounds appeared even more joyous, the gnawing speed increasing.

Bai Yifan’s hand trembled as he decisively turned off the music.

He felt that the frequency of the chewing increased because of the music he played.

"Xiao Fan, roast chicken!"

Bai Xiqin waved at Bai Yifan.

When the Bai Family went out, they habitually carried a backpack containing some supplies.

When there was a need, they would take things from it, and even if it held nothing needed, Bai Xiqin could use the backpack as a cover to take things from her space.

The weather was too hot, and no one wanted to carry a backpack filled with rarely used items; as long as one person carried it, it was enough.

The one carrying the backpack had to be someone who wasn’t too (un)useful.

Hence, the honorable task fell to Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan took two steps toward Bai Xiqin, opened the backpack, and let Bai Xiqin take something out.

The backpack contained no roast chicken, only a few bottles of water and biscuits. It mainly served to cover Bai Xiqin taking things from her space.

With the backpack as a cover, Bai Xiqin took out a fragrant roast chicken.

Once the roast chicken was taken out, its aroma quickly spread, filling the nose with a rich fragrance.

Bai Yifan pulled out a paper fan from the backpack and fanned the roast chicken frantically.

Creaaak... Creeaak...

The sound of bone chewing paused momentarily, then began rapidly again.

There were still no other movements.

There was no choice left; they had to go up.

Bai Anhai silently took the roast chicken from Bai Xiqin’s hand and started nibbling.

Since he began absorbing crystal cores, Bai Anhai no longer feared high cholesterol!

His body was in excellent condition, and everything tasted delicious!

Bai Yifan sighed, snatched a chicken leg from Mr. Bai’s hand, and munched on it, while silently adding another thicker layer of golden aura around himself.

The world was so tragic; only the golden aura on his body could give him a thread of safety.

The Bai Family moved upstairs together, their footsteps echoing on the stairs, bringing an eerie liveliness to the otherwise quiet asylum.

Creaaak... Creeak...

The sound came from one of the rooms on the second floor; the door was tightly closed.

Inside, the sound of bone chewing grew increasingly clear, with even the sound of bones snapping audible.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Bai Xiqin reached out and knocked on the door.

Creaaak... Creeak...

The reply was even more forceful creaking and snapping sounds.

"Just kick it open!"

Despite his pale face, Bai Anhai pulled Bai Xiqin behind him, stepped forward, and kicked the door with all his might.

Bang! Bang!

Embarrassingly, the door didn’t budge.

The asylum wasn’t built shoddily.

"Dad, let me!"

With a soft voice, Bai Xiqin raised her glowing white leg and kicked hard.

Bam!

The door was kicked open.

Bai Anhai: ...

Leng Yebai glanced at Bai Xiqin’s leg and quietly withdrew his gaze.

He felt a chill somewhere.

"Hehehe..."

A sinister voice emanated from the pitch-black room.

At this moment, the Bai Family finally saw the room’s real condition and stepped back in unison.

Inside, a disheveled man was tied to a bed with bandages; above his head dangled a rotting zombie.

The man’s hair had grown long from not being groomed for quite some time.

The disheveled man just needed to slightly lift his neck to eat the rotten flesh and bare bones.

Bound with bandages on the bed, the man could only slightly lift his head to reach the "food."

The zombie’s black blood dripped onto the disheveled man, the bed, his clothes, staining everything with black blood.

"Hehehe..."

The man only foolishly smiled at the Bai Family, his body wriggling slightly, as if trying to break free from the bandages. Yet, despite several attempts, he couldn’t loosen the restraints.

The disheveled man didn’t seem upset, only raised his head and bit into the zombie’s leg, causing the crunching sound of bone chewing to resume.

"Is he... a zombie?"

Bai Yifan’s voice trembled slightly.

Normally, a person bitten by a zombie turns into a zombie.

Yet, this person had eaten zombie meat, drank black blood, even gnawing and swallowing bones.

How did he still look human?

Human?

Looking at his gleaming green eyes, Bai Yifan felt uneasy, even though he had human skin, he found this person in front to be even more dangerous than a zombie.

"No, he’s a lunatic." Bai Xiqin slightly shook her head.

She had only heard in the apocalypse that task forces could encounter mentally unstable people in rural areas during missions.

Those people had bizarre powers, mumbling to themselves with even more erratic behavior.

They always had something wrong in the head, so acting crazy didn’t seem too different.

However, those mentally unstable individuals not only had extraordinary superpowers, but they also seemed perfectly resistant to the virus.

"Boom!"

The disheveled man suddenly broke free from the bandages.

"Watch out!"

Bai Yifan exclaimed.

A shadow instantly leaped from the bed, charging straight towards the Bai Family members at the door.
