Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 75: The Senior Squad

The Bai Family have been staying at the Fire Phoenix Safety Base for five days.

Every day, besides wandering around the safety base, involves enhancing their superpowers.

Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu are not the type to sit still.

Early morning.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Uncle Wang knocked on the door of the bus, waking up the Bai Family from their slumber.

"Old Bai, are you awake?" Uncle Wang shouted, "Let’s go out and look for supplies!"

There wasn’t a lack of supplies, just playing around, yeah, just playing around.

"Look for your sister!" Bai Zhengxuan groggily opened the window.

"Old Liu and I are planning to go out and look for supplies, are you coming!" Uncle Wang stretched his limbs.

There was no lack of supplies.

What’s lacking is space to move around.

Wandering around the base every day couldn’t satisfy him anymore.

"Go out?" Bai Zhengxuan’s eyes lit up.

"Yeah! Are you coming! Let’s go now! I’ll drive, let’s learn from the young people and gather supplies!" Uncle Wang grinned, "Don’t forget to bring some dumplings for lunch!"

The dumplings made by the Bai Family have thin skins and lots of fillings, and they smell amazing!

"Sure!"

With a smile, Bai Zhengxuan took a bag of dumplings from the fridge on the bus and greeted Liu Jing before getting off the vehicle.

"Be careful out there!"

Liu Jing called out from the window.

"Don’t worry, the three of us together, it’s quite safe!"

Bai Zhengxuan waved dismissively, showing off the green mutated climbing vine bracelet on his wrist.

This is what they call being bold when skilled!

"I mean, be careful not to run over anyone!" Liu Jing added.

There aren’t many survivors, and though Uncle Wang drives recklessly enough to ram zombies, running over people should be avoided!

Bai Zhengxuan: ...

Bai Zhengxuan shook his head and headed to the green garbage truck with dumplings in hand.

His wife’s worries were completely unnecessary.

The proudest achievement of Old Wang’s life is—he’s never run over a person!

"Old Wang, where do I sit?"

Bai Zhengxuan looked toward the driver’s seat, where Uncle Liu was already seated in the passenger seat, leaving no other place to sit. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

A garbage truck typically only has two seats: the driver’s seat and the passenger seat.

"Come, come, this way!"

Uncle Liu squeezed toward Uncle Wang’s side.

Uncle Wang squeezed all the way to the far right, took a deep breath, and attempted to slim down a bit to let Old Bai in.

Bai Zhengxuan kept a straight face and squeezed himself into the passenger seat.

Bai Zhengxuan and Uncle Wang were neither fat nor thin, but squeezing three people into the driver’s cabin clearly posed a challenge for the garbage truck.

The person in the middle, Uncle Liu, had most of his flesh squeezed into different shapes.

"Bang!"

Finally, the door of the garbage truck closed.

All three exhaled simultaneously.

"Phew—"

Bai Zhengxuan leaned against the car door, feeling a bit smug.

He thought he could barely pass as a skinny person!

"Hehe, sit tight, let’s go have some fun outside!"

Uncle Wang stomped on the accelerator, and the garbage truck charged out like a green beast.

From afar, the gatekeepers saw the garbage truck exiting and immediately ran far away.

Their driving was wild, and the gatekeepers wanted to live a few more days.

The garbage truck exited the base just like that, and the elderly trio rushed off in one direction.

"Old Wang, where are we headed?"

Bai Zhengxuan glanced out the window; he had never been here before.

"It’s not important!" Uncle Wang waved it off casually, "Anywhere will do!"

Staying at the Fire Phoenix Safety Base was becoming tedious; the world outside was much more vast.

"Young people go out to gather crystal cores and supplies; should we try to keep up with the trend?"

Uncle Liu, squeezed in the middle, felt like he had lost quite a bit of weight.

"Let’s go!"

Uncle Wang sped up again, the green garbage truck charging toward the area with more zombies.

Crystal cores or no crystal cores, supplies or no supplies, not important.

Ah~ it’s just for fun!

By the roadside, superpower users in outdoor jackets gawked as the green garbage truck rushed toward where zombies gathered.

"Have those old guys gone mad?"

A superpower user’s face twitched.

"See that garbage truck? Stay far away from it. It can knock down the gates to the living quarters! The guy driving it has terrible skills and an awful character, never admitting the collision was his fault!"

Another superpower user tugged at his companion, steering clear of the garbage truck even if it was heading in the opposite direction.

Fire Phoenix Safety Base.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai were also getting restless, Bai Xiqin sat on Leng Yebai’s bicycle, and they set off.

Under the pretense of looking for clues to a sinister research institute, they really just wanted to take a stroll.

Bai Anhai, Wang Yiyun, and Liu Jing exchanged looks and decided to bring along Bai Yifan, the tag-along, for "resource gathering."

So, the blue and white bus also roared out of the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.

Squeak, squeak—

Leng Yebai’s bike squeaked as it went.

His bicycle was so old, it seemed like it might fall apart at any moment.

"Roar—"

Occasionally, zombies charged at Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin, only for Bai Xiqin to pierce them in the temple with a steel needle.

With a slight movement of her delicate hand, the crystal core inside the zombie’s brain flew out through the hole made by the steel needle and landed steadily in the pouch Bai Xiqin was holding.

While the zombies could still move, Bai Xiqin’s control couldn’t directly extract the crystal core.

It was only when the zombie’s brain was destroyed that Bai Xiqin could wave her hand and retrieve the crystal core from within.

Bai Xiqin’s ability, Liu Jing particularly opposed, denying Bai Xiqin the chance to showcase her skills.

In her words: A crystal core must be manually extracted to truly have a soul!

"Let’s go to the zoo!"

Bai Xiqin’s eyes sparkled at the thought of the mutated panda.

There were quite a few mutated animals in the zoo, and their meat was delicious.

The last time, every member of the base received a portion of the meat from the mutated water python that was defeated by the mutated panda; its tender texture left a lasting impression.

Of course, Bai Xiqin’s target wasn’t the mutated panda, but the other mutated animals in the zoo.

"Alright!"

Leng Yebai glanced at the fingers holding onto his clothes, a wide smile spreading across his face.

Squeak, squeak~

The bicycle headed toward the zoo.

The zoo wasn’t too far from the Fire Phoenix Safety Base; after half an hour, the bike stopped at the entrance.

The zoo was very quiet, as if not even one zombie was there.

Surely there were powerful mutated animals inside.

Bai Xiqin immediately thought of the mutated panda that defeated the water python.

Bai Xiqin got off the bicycle and walked inside on her long legs, showing no signs of fear.

Leng Yebai quickly propped the bicycle at the gate, locked it, and placed the key in his pocket.

Then, he jogged to catch up with Bai Xiqin, walking alongside her.

"If you’re worried about losing it, you can just put it in my space." Bai Xiqin’s lips twitched.

Leng Yebai’s bicycle probably gets the best treatment in the world.

Every day, Bai Yifan uses the gold ability to enhance it.

Not only that, Leng Yebai specifically bribed Uncle Wang with dumplings to reinforce it several times.

"I use it often, so let’s just leave it outside!" Leng Yebai patted his pocket, where the key rested.

Frequent retrieval and storage in his space can easily be noticed by others, risking exposure.

The bicycle is important, but Xiao Niu is even more important!
