Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 289: Five Hundred Years to Become a Flood Dragon

Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Five Hundred Years to Become a Flood Dragon

"I’ve decided, from now on, I must absorb crystal nuclei better and enhance my superpower!"

Bai Anhai held a crystal core in one hand and absorbed frantically.

A man should shoulder the responsibility of protecting his wife and children!

A family this weak is just unacceptable!

"Dad, I think we’re not weak at all."

Bai Yifan slowly put a milk tablet into his mouth and said very seriously.

"Didn’t you see how people think a First Rank Superpower User is amazing?"

Bai Yifan always stays with his family, so he thinks he’s weak.

But if Dad thinks they’re weak, that’s just not right!

"Then are you powerful?" Bai Anhai retorted.

Someone like Bai Yifan, a First Rank Superpower User, he could crush with his little finger!

Bai Yifan touched his nose, "I’m not powerful, but you guys are!"

Freeloading, he was serious about it.

"Weakling!"

Wang Yiyun rolled her eyes at her own son.

Bai Yifan: ...

Is he really weak?

How come he remembers Captain Zhou thinking he was very talented, a young genius, back at the safety base!

Apparently, standing in a circle of academic elites, even someone as excellent as himself turns into a nobody.

The Bai Family lamented their weakness while crazily absorbing crystal nuclei.

Having never been bullied much in the apocalypse, being crushed by a bunch of zombies was indeed a bit stimulating.

Leng Yebai sat beside Bai Xiqin, his eyes slightly closed, as one crystal core after another turned to waste in his hands.

A visible energy coursed through his hands, traveling along his body’s meridians.

This energy would wash over his meridians and then gather at the hypothalamus in his head.

Whether it’s superpower users, zombies, or mutant animals, it’s the hypothalamus that undergoes mutation, condensing into a small crystal core.

"Actually, we’re still pretty awesome. As a family, we can totally navigate the apocalypse with ease. Today was just an accident, we shouldn’t be too...self-deprecating!"

Bai Xiqin explained earnestly to the three men crazily absorbing crystal cores.

Leng Yebai, Bai Anhai, and Bai Zhengxuan sat amidst a pile of crystal core waste.

On the table, the fruits and snacks were being consumed only by the Bai family’s ladies (and Bai Yifan), the men kept absorbing crystal nuclei even while talking.

That’s dedication!

Since the apocalypse broke out, no matter how much Bai Anhai and Bai Zhengxuan’s scientific worldview shattered, or how much their legs tremble at the sight of zombies, they would absorb crystal nuclei whenever they had a chance.

Sadly enough, no matter how many crystal cores they absorbed, they still couldn’t beat the Bai family’s ladies!

"Not self-deprecating, I just think I can’t compare to others at all, too weak!"

Bai Anhai sighed again.

As a lawyer, the philosophy he believed in was, losing means being weak, losing definitely has a reason behind it.

What other reason could there be?

Isn’t it just because their family is too weak?

Compared to ordinary people, they were indeed a bit impressive, but compared to the zombies outside, they were weak beyond measure.

Not just those zombies, even those two mysterious people helping Baiyang Village, or Zhang Yiming and Fan Tangtang, they might not even be able to defeat.

Indeed, he still needed to seize the time to absorb crystal cores.

Striving to enable his family to navigate the world with swagger!

As soon as Bai Anhai finished speaking, the three men’s rate of absorbing crystal cores sped up even more...

Bai Xiqin: ...

Bai Yifan silently covered his face. Even they thought they were too weak, and he, a First Rank Superpower User, could only toss his face to the ground to be trampled!

Covering his face didn’t stop him from eating milk tablets!

The mutated giant python wiggled its massive body next to Bai Xiqin, affectionately nudging her fingers with its tail.

The tail of the mutated giant python had been severed at the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.

The tail was buried in the zoo and had already decayed.

And after some time in the space recovering, the mutated giant python began to shed its skin.

This shedding was exceptionally difficult, taking three days and nights.

After shedding, the mutated giant python regained its tail.

The vitality of mutant animals is extremely tenacious, so it’s really surprising to see a tail regrow.

Ever since the mutated giant python shed its skin in the space, it has stuck closely to Bai Xiqin more and more.

Maybe it’s because Bai Xiqin is the space’s owner, and shedding skin in the space is akin to being reborn in the space, so liking to stick to Bai Xiqin is understandable.

For example, certain three fierce beasts, one coiled on Bai Xiqin’s wrist, another perched on her shoulder, and one crouched by her feet.

Bai Xiqin petted the head of the mutated giant python, feeling a hard object.

If you didn’t look closely, it was hard to tell there was a small bump on the mutated giant python’s head.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed like a bone on the skull.

Bai Xiqin curiously touched it two more times, it was hard, the texture exactly like bone.

Bai Xiqin suddenly remembered the mythical story of the flood dragon.

A snake transforms into a flood dragon in five hundred years, a flood dragon becomes a dragon in a thousand years.

This tiny bulge was too inconspicuous, making Bai Xiqin think maybe she was just overthinking.

The mutated giant python allowed Bai Xiqin to touch the bump on its head, squinting, seeming to enjoy Bai Xiqin’s scent.

Its enormous tail wagging back and forth, just like a dog.

Leng Yebai maintained a cold face, holding crystal cores with both hands, his body slightly tilted—squeezed by the mutated giant python.

Whenever entering the space, the beasts inside would like to stay by Bai Xiqin’s side, squeezing him out.

The green cold-blooded animal squeezed Leng Yebai’s body at a forty-five-degree angle.

Yet Leng Yebai refused to shift aside, insisting on sitting in place—he just wanted to sit closer to Xiao Niu.

All told, Bai Yifan watched Leng Yebai and felt shoulder pain for him.

The mutated giant python turned to look at Leng Yebai, flicked its red tongue, its face actually showing a bit of a smug expression.

Bai Yifan rubbed his eyes, looking at the mutated giant python again, only to see it sitting still, letting Bai Xiqin pet its head.

Was it a hallucination?

He had the feeling that since shedding its skin, the mutated giant python has gotten smarter?

The Bai Family stayed in the space for quite some time this time, a full three days.

Besides eating and drinking, they were absorbing crystal nuclei.

This time, they truly stabilized their powers after the last breakthrough that was slightly unstable.

Even Bai Yifan showed signs of soon advancing to a Second Rank Superpower User.

Only, the signs had yet to manifest.

After three days, the Bai Family decided to head out to take a look.

After three days, those zombies should have dispersed.

With everyone placing their hands on Bai Xiqin’s shoulder, there was a flicker in front of their eyes, and they found themselves inside the bus.

A strong burnt smell assailed their senses.

There wasn’t any fire inside the bus, as Mr. Bai had meticulously crafted it with fire-resistant materials, and since the window was only slightly ajar, the inside hadn’t been burned.

Looking out from the bus, there was a pitch-black scorched earth.

The explosion’s flames burned the ground plants and grass clean. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

It’s not a pity, in the apocalypse, resilient vegetation will regrow in a very short time.
