Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 265: The Scum Among Zombies

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming exchanged a few words with Leng Yebai before decisively turning around to leave.

Two big men, strolling along the street together, looked rather strange.

"Bang!"

A car suddenly lost control and sped past Leng Yebai, crashing into the nearby wall.

The loud noise didn’t attract any zombies.

With Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming around, the entire street was silent.

Both men simultaneously looked at the out-of-control car.

Smoke billowed from the car, and the person inside kicked open the door, coughing as they made their way out.

"Cough cough, sorry, cough cough, this car must have taken on water, it’s hard to drive now!"

Zhao Hai coughed until his face turned red, tightly covering his mouth with his fingers, afraid that his coughing would lure zombies.

He cautiously glanced around; there weren’t any zombies, and those that had been kneeling moments ago had vanished without a trace.

Still, he wasn’t reassured.

As an ordinary person, he had to be cautious.

Only those with exceptional skills would be bold enough to act recklessly; people like him had to be vigilant.

Fortunately, despite the commotion he caused, no zombies were drawn to him.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai glanced at Zhao Hai without expression and continued walking forward.

Their expressions were perfectly synchronized.

Zhao Hai, his eyes watering from irritation, did not see the cold gaze of the two men.

Zhao Hai was a decisive person.

No problem if the car was ruined, he could find another.

After all, there were plenty of cars on the street!

Zhao Hai quickly surveyed the area, immediately locking onto another car, and rushed over.

"Roar!"

As Zhao Hai was about to reach the car, the distant roar of zombies echoed.

Zhao Hai trembled slightly, spotting the zombies charging from afar.

It wasn’t just one hideous zombie; there were about twenty from what he could see.

With faces covered in rot, the zombies’ vacant eyes fixated on Zhao Hai as they rushed towards him.

They didn’t even bother to take a turn.

Zhao Hai shivered, quickly opened the car door, and dove inside.

Thankfully, the keys were in the car, he decisively closed the door and slammed on the gas.

The car roared like a wild beast, speeding down the street.

"Run! Zombies are coming!"

The car came to a sudden stop as it passed Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai, and Zhao Hai shouted at them, "Get in!"

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai continued to walk ahead, the angry roars of the zombies behind them did not change their expressions.

They ignored both the zombies and Zhao Hai.

Through the rearview mirror, Zhao Hai saw the twenty-something zombies still clawing their way towards him.

Zhao Hai gritted his teeth, glanced at the indifferent duo, and slammed the gas pedal, driving away without further concern.

To hell with them!

Anyway, Xiao Niu isn’t here!

Zhao Hai didn’t have time to think much, only feeling that twenty-something zombies were too horrific, prompting the car to speed him away.

As long as Xiao Niu’s not here, old captain, that someone, fend for yourselves!

"Boom—"

The car brushed past Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai as it sped away.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai calmly walked down the road.

"Roar—"

Soon followed by over twenty hideous zombies roaring as they rushed past Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai continued walking unperturbed.

Their faces unchanged, steady as Mount Tai.

The running car and roaring zombies made it feel like the end times.

Yet the calmness of Leng Yebai and Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming made it seem as if they were merely taking a stroll.

Leng Yebai glanced at the group of zombies and the speeding car, his mouth curling slightly.

"Isn’t that your classmate? He was quite polite to you, yet you’re so unsympathetic." Leng Yebai’s voice carried a lazy tone.

Honestly, Leng Yebai was somewhat curious.

Since Zhang Yiming was the Zombie Emperor, zombies acted as dutifully as babies in his presence.

Yet today was anomalous, with over twenty little cuties acting so lively.

Even going to chase a former classmate of the Zombie Emperor.

Something felt off.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming cast a cold glance at Leng Yebai, his voice chilling, "Zombies are meant to consume humans. As their Emperor, why should I suppress their nature?"

"... Hehe!"

Leng Yebai sneered twice.

Haven’t you suppressed enough already?

Forcing a Corpse King into a little elementary student who suffers headaches at the sight of test papers!

Truly diabolical!

Even after turning into a zombie, one’s not allowed to jump around freely, only to be coerced into struggling with math problems like a pathetic fool!

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, looking at Leng Yebai’s mocking face, sneered as well.

"Hehe!"

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s sneer carried a hint of contempt.

Within the contempt lingered a touch of disdain.

"Why, does the heartless, uncaring Zombie Emperor have something to say?"

Leng Yebai replied sarcastically.

"That was Xiao Niu’s ex-boyfriend, involved with her for nearly a year." Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming rolled his eyes imperceptibly, adding another jab, "That’s nearly half a year longer than your relationship!"

"... Is that all the Zombie Emperor is capable of? Only able to command twenty-some zombies?"

Leng Yebai retorted.

To defeat a thousand enemies but lose eight hundred himself.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming: ...

"If you became the ex, I could command over a billion zombies."

"Twenty-some zombies can’t even bite a regular person, only capable of scaring him. A billion zombies wouldn’t scare me either."

"Able to become an ex-boyfriend scum anytime!"

"Never had the chance to be the current boyfriend, poor soul!"

"... Useless!"

"... A disgrace among zombies!"

...

The two walked coolly along the road, occasionally throwing jabs at each other.

Each jab landed sharply in the other’s heart!

Along the way, the two used the coldest tones, wielding the sharpest daggers.

Each wished to strike the other dead but dared not make the first move.

Afraid a pretty Sailor Moon might just destroy them!

When the pair arrived back at the bus’s location, their faces remained expressionless.

They didn’t utter a word, no one could tell they had just experienced a "battle!"

Bai Xiqin had already settled her personal issues and was obediently sitting on the moisture-proof mat, chin in hand, listening to the adults chat.

Talking about everything under the sun.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming stood silently by the side, quietly watching the girl resting her chin.

Ten years had passed.

Since the apocalypse began, he hadn’t been able to observe this gentle face from such a close distance.

He had thought that with her around, even being in hell wouldn’t seem too bad.

When enduring hell became unbearable, he could always glimpse at his girl, stealing a look at heaven on earth.

But one day, heaven collapsed.

From then on, heaven and hell had no boundaries.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming slightly lowered his eyelids, suppressing a trace of hostility in his eyes.

"Uncle and Aunt, Grandma and Grandpa, Xiao Niu, Xiao Fan, I have some matters to attend to, I’ll be leaving first."

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming suddenly looked up, giving everyone a gentle smile.

He had countless tasks awaiting him.

He was on a mission to save his paradise.

"Alright, take care on your way."

Liu Jing’s kind face turned very serious.

Don’t let some strange forensic doctor nab you for dissection!

"Okay!"

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming smiled warmly and took a deep look at Bai Xiqin, meeting her bright dark eyes.

Her dark eyes curved gently back at him.

"Thump thump!"

A long dead heart suddenly beat fiercely.
