Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 254: To Die

"Sis, what do we do now?"

Bai Yifan looked at Bai Xiqin.

The weather was too hot, standing in the mental hospital courtyard for so long was unbearable.

"What’s the matter? Can’t take it anymore?" Bai Xiqin said calmly, "I should’ve had Hua Tuo’s descendant give you an acupuncture earlier!"

Bai Yifan: ...

"Next time we see the director, no matter how many crystal cores it takes, Dad will help cure you!" Bai Anhai patted Bai Yifan’s shoulder seriously, "You really are a bit weak, you can’t even outrun me!"

Bai Yifan: ...

Could we not bring up running?

Not being able to run faster isn’t something he can control, he’s already trained hard just so resources don’t benefit outsiders.

Crying!

"Tsk! Don’t worry, grandpa will kill a few more zombies, and all the crystal cores will be used for your treatment, even if we have to sell everything!"

Bai Zhengxuan silently took out a dagger.

Bai Yifan: No need, thanks.

"Sis, are we going to find the mastermind behind this or not? I want to kill him!"

Bai Yifan drew his dagger, his face slightly twisted.

Can’t provoke the family, can’t beat or argue with them.

He’s got to vent somehow!

"Of course we’ll find him!" Bai Xiqin stood naturally in front of Bai Yifan, "You’re weak, follow behind me. I’ll protect you!"

Bai Yifan’s breath hitched; the word "weak" sounded particularly harsh.

"I’m not weak!" Bai Yifan gritted his teeth and ran in front of Bai Xiqin, "I’ll stand in front, I’ll protect you all."

With that, a strong yellow glow emanated from his body.

Bai Xiqin raised an eyebrow, allowing Bai Yifan to stand at the front.

It’s better for a young man to be brave.

Otherwise, she’d always feel like she had a little sister.

The Bai Family started opening doors in the rooms, one by one, checking if there was anyone inside.

The more rooms they opened, the more they could feel how horrific the situation was at the mental hospital on the day of the apocalypse.

In every room, black and red blood was mixed together, dried and congealed on the floor, emitting a putrid smell.

Various items were strewn about, not a single room was tidy.

Some walls even had cracks.

On closer inspection, they were caused by impacts from something heavy.

Clearly, the heavy object was a human body.

Room after room, apart from the chaotic floor and dried blood, there were no other lunatics tied to beds.

No zombies, no superpower users, not even normal people.

As they passed the second floor, the creaking sound rang out again.

The scruffy-bearded lunatic tied to the bed began chewing on zombie bones once more.

The sound of bones being crushed and swallowed was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

Leng Yebai and Bai Anhai silently entered the room with the lunatic, and within a minute, they came back out together.

This time, the sound of bone chewing could no longer be heard.

The entire mental hospital building was eerily silent, with no sound at all.

"Did the patients all run away?" Bai Yifan scratched his head.

Was there only one lunatic in a mental hospital?

"Roar—"

A zombie’s howl echoed in the courtyard.

The Bai Family looked down from the building and saw a thin figure dragging a zombie, walking slowly.

The zombie’s legs twisted grotesquely, it roared ferociously, its decaying claws grabbed aimlessly but caught nothing.

A frail man was pulling the zombie’s twisted legs, without fear of being caught, walking step by step.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai jumped down from the building once again.

The two stood directly in front of the frail man, blocking his path.

"Who are you?"

The frail man stared blankly, tilting his head slightly.

His vacant gaze seemed to regard them as edible animals.

"Was it you who tied up the lunatic upstairs? Did you feed him the zombie?"

Bai Xiqin glanced at the zombie dragged by the frail man, speaking with certainty.

"Yes, he likes to eat." The frail man nodded vacantly, casually tossing the zombie on the ground, a hint of maliciousness flashing in his empty eyes, "However, he prefers eating people."

With that, the frail man dashed towards Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai like a ghost, his speed so fast it was barely visible to the naked eye, leaving afterimages.

This is a Wind Ability User.

Everyone’s focus was on the frail man; no one noticed the zombie he discarded shrunk back fearfully on the ground, unmoving.

As if sensing something terrifying.

A formless control power rapidly emanated from Bai Xiqin, slowing the frail man’s speed.

But he was too fast; she couldn’t accurately capture his figure.

Although he was also a Third Rank Superpower User, his speed was way beyond normal Third Rank Users, and his powers were bizarre, releasing Wind Blades at strange angles towards Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai.

Dense purple lightning instantly formed, clashing with the Wind Blades and canceling each other out.

"Watch out!"

Bai Anhai had just descended and saw the Wind Blades, nearly invisible to the naked eye, forming directly above Bai Xiqin’s head, fiercely slashing down.

Normally, energy released by superpower users consolidated in their hands.

But this frail lunatic merely stared intently at a spot, and a Wind Blade would form there.

Upon hearing the warning, Bai Xiqin swiftly dodged. Simultaneously, purple lightning brushed past her hair, colliding with the Wind Blades.

Winds rose, lightning dissipated.

The Bai Family saw Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai struggling against the sudden Wind Blades, and began bombarding the frail man with energy.

A plethora of energy shot over, missing the frail man but reducing the nearby zombie to black mush.

Except for Bai Yifan, they could all muster enough attacking energy.

The frail man gave the Bai Family a crooked grin, revealing blackened teeth.

Purple lightning bore down, yet he showed no panic, eyes fixated intently above Bai Yifan’s head.

Above Bai Yifan, dozens of Wind Blades appeared instantly.

As the Wind Blades descended, the purple lightning pierced the man’s heart, red blood trickling from his mouth, yet he grinned grotesquely.

He came here to die.

Now, the mission is complete.

Bai Xiqin’s face turned pale; she grasped in Bai Yifan’s direction, sending him rolling quickly.

But it was too late; the Wind Blades hovered above Bai Yifan.

Liu Jing and Bai Xiqin were too far to instantly form an ice wall.

Still, Liu Jing extended her hand, forming a fragile ice wall.

The ice wall began to thicken, surging to a meter in thickness.

Puff puff...

The Wind Blades futilely hacked at the ice wall, not touching Bai Yifan at all.

In the distance, Middle-aged Liu Jing held her trembling hand up.

Even if she could protect her family, memories of past experiences instilled fear, afraid that this time her family would also...

"Heh heh, it’s useless, die! All of you die!"

The frail man smirked eerily, his superpower raging towards his brain.

Bai Xiqin immediately realized he was preparing to self-destruct his Crystal Core.

Even a normal zombie’s self-destruct causes enormous energy waves.

Let alone a Third Rank Superpower User!

Under usual circumstances, self-destruction is nearly impossible, only Bai Xiqin as a Control Ability User could manage it.

Yet, this frail man could too.

Does God really show special favor to lunatics?

Simultaneously, steel needles from Bai Xiqin and purple lightning from Leng Yebai targeted the frail man’s temple.

Meanwhile, a flame shrouded in black mist spread from afar.

The black flames carried an icy malice, turning the frail man’s head into ashes instantly.

Thud.

The charred head fell into the heap of ashes, that face still wearing a sinister smile of achieved schemes.
