Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 34: Preparing to Evacuate

It wasn’t until Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai’s figures disappeared that Zhang Yiming finally retracted his gaze.

On the desolate street, from time to time, zombies trapped in cars would let out angry howls.

Zhang Yiming turned around expressionlessly, not a hint of fear towards the hideous zombies.

City No.1 Middle School still appeared eerily quiet; there wasn’t a single person on the campus during winter break, and occasionally the sound of wind rustling through the leaves could be heard.

Perhaps because it was winter, there weren’t even any birds.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai changed direction and walked once more around the walls of City No.1 Middle School.

From any angle, no zombies could be seen, not even a small animal.

Bai Xiqin, with a serious expression, took another round down other streets before returning home with Leng Yebai.

Just as they were about to knock on the door, a middle-aged woman walked out from the hallway.

The middle-aged woman appeared somewhat uneasy and quietly asked Bai Xiqin, "Xiao Niu, do you still have water at home? The water supply at my house has been cut, and I didn’t store any..."

Most people thought that this apocalypse would end under the barrage of guns and ammunition.

They believed that staying hidden at home for a few days would suffice; a small number didn’t even think about storing water.

"Aunt Chen, there’s water upstairs in my home; their water jar still has water." Bai Xiqin said.

That was seen while clearing out the zombies upstairs.

Upstairs lived an elderly couple who had the habit of storing water in jars.

"But, I’m afraid there might be... monsters."

A flicker of fear flashed across the middle-aged woman’s face.

"There are no monsters in the apartment building now."

Bai Xiqin said just that before taking Leng Yebai home and closing the door.

The zombies in the building had already been cleared out, and the upstairs door hadn’t been damaged again.

If she couldn’t muster even this much courage, her chances of surviving the apocalypse were near negligible.

Chen Jingyun stared at the closed door, her face slightly dazed.

"Even neighbors, and so unfriendly!"

Chen Jingyun rolled her eyes at the closed door and then cautiously started walking upstairs.

Bai Xiqin’s home.

"Sis, Aunt Chen outside said you’re unfriendly!"

Bai Yifan stated calmly while holding a crystal core.

Superpower users have extraordinarily heightened senses.

"Then should I use the milk powder in the space to supplement her nutrition?" Bai Xiqin glanced at Bai Yifan.

"I think Aunt Chen doesn’t know what’s good for her; Sis did the right thing!" Bai Yifan grinned at Bai Xiqin.

There’s no way the milk powder would be given away!

He didn’t have enough for himself!

"What’s the situation outside?"

Bai Anhai asked while holding a crystal core.

"If a zombie tide doesn’t break out, this is the safest place." Bai Xiqin said.

"What if a zombie tide does break out?" Wang Yiyun asked, "Could we make a fortune?"

More zombies = more crystal cores = getting rich.

"No way!" Bai Anhai’s mouth twitched, "We can’t beat them! If zombies start spewing saliva, just one spittle per zombie could drown us!"

"How the mighty have fallen, even dogs dare to bully now!"

Liu Jing sighed slightly.

Back in the day, she dissected countless corpses!

Now, she was being driven to flee by those very corpses, dragging her family along.

"Sigh! As long as our family is fine, that’s what matters!"

Bai Zhengxuan said calmly while carrying Bai Yifan’s schoolbag, "Why don’t we leave now? I’m ready!"

Bai Xiqin pondered for a moment, the High Rank Zombie in City No.1 Middle School being able to control so many zombies perfectly meant the High Rank Zombie was definitely powerful.

Leaving might be the best choice.

Although... it seemed a bit cowardly.

"Beep beep beep――"

Suddenly, the sound of car horns came from downstairs. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Everyone exchanged glances and moved to the balcony to look down.

A police car had stopped below.

Occasionally, zombies attracted by the noise rushed over, only to be dealt with by the people on the police car using guns.

The gunfire attracted many zombies, and the sound was unrelenting. In less than ten minutes, zombies lay scattered around the police car.

"Officer, are you here to save us?"

An old man upstairs called out excitedly towards the police car.

A young officer, looking fresh-faced and likely a recent graduate from the police academy, stepped out of the police car.

"Attention please, attention please, evacuate S City precisely at 8 AM tomorrow morning. The convoy will pass through Zhongcheng Avenue. Please follow the convoy orderly from the rear!"

The young officer announced five times over a loudspeaker before getting back into the police car.

"Officer! Haven’t the monsters gone? Why evacuate? I don’t see any monsters outside from upstairs!"

A man living on a high floor shouted loudly downwards.

The young officer didn’t answer as the police car moved to another building, and the loudspeaker blared again.

"They’ve noticed too." Leng Yebai said.

If they hadn’t noticed the oddities at City No.1 Middle School, anyone would think S City was the most suitable as a safe base.

"Let’s leave with the others tomorrow!" Bai Xiqin said, looking at the police car below.

In the apocalypse, only by sticking together would people have a chance of survival.

"Alright, I’ll make more food to put in the cooler in the car," Bai Anhai turned and went to the kitchen.

Outside, one couldn’t frequently enter the space.

Bai Zhengxuan and Leng Yebai also sensibly walked into the kitchen.

The rest gripped crystal cores, absorbing superpowers.

Occasionally, sounds of complaints were heard from upstairs and downstairs; even if they were complaining, they began packing their things.

No matter if they left tomorrow or not, it was best to get everything packed.

If more people decided to leave, they’d all leave together.

Bai Xiqin closed her eyes to absorb the crystal core and suddenly opened them.

With a point of her finger, Qin Yuan appeared out of thin air.

"Master, master, hello!"

Qin Yuan happily circled around Bai Xiqin.

Indeed, it was the most favored!

It had been summoned out from the space twice by the master!

"Could you help check the movements of the surrounding zombies?" Bai Xiqin asked.

"Can do, master!"

Qin Yuan joyfully flipped in the air and flew outside gleefully.

"Hey, the water’s back on! And the power too!"

Bai Anhai looked in astonishment at the running tap water and the lit lamp.

Bai Xiqin was also slightly surprised; in the apocalypse, who would risk being torn apart by zombies to fix water and electricity?

The entire day, the aroma of food lingered through Bai Xiqin’s house.

With braised pork and braised ribs alone, Bai Anhai had cooked two large pots each; his wife and daughter loved them.

For Xiao steamed buns, Leng Yebai steamed over ten baskets; Bai Xiqin loved them.

With chicken stewed with mushrooms and braised prawns, Bai Zhengxuan made a big pot of each; his wife and granddaughter adored them.

Bai Yifan looked at the room filled with delicious dishes, drooling!

His dad and grandpa were just so good, making all these dishes that he loved to eat!!!

This time, Qin Yuan flew quite far and returned just before evening.

"Master, I saw some zombies from the east heading towards us. By noon tomorrow, the street will surely have zombies again."

Qin Yuan brought back some bad news.

Bai Xiqin looked towards the direction of City No.1 Middle School with a solemn expression.

What kind of zombie could possess such strong control power on just the second day of the apocalypse?

At night, everyone in Bai Xiqin’s family stayed awake, each gripping a crystal core, enhancing their superpowers.
