Chapter 550: Zhang Yiming, Too Fragile to Care for Himself

"Grandpa, aren’t you a Wood Ability User? Wood Ability Users can heal wounds. How about trying it on big sis?"

Bai Yifan frowned as he looked at the shocking wound on Bai Xiqin’s forehead.

"Forget it, forget it. I’ve never used Wood Ability to treat others, I’m afraid I’ll mess up and hurt Xiao Niu instead," Bai Zhengxuan waved his hand quickly. "Let’s wait until you or your father gets hurt, then I’ll step in!"

Bai Zhengxuan knew that even though he was a meticulous people’s teacher, in reality, he was still a rough old man. If he accidentally mishandled it, he would regret it for life.

Better wait until those two fearless get hurt before he acts!

Boys have thicker skin, they don’t fear pain, Bai Zhengxuan feels assured to act.

"Exactly, exactly, your grandpa hasn’t used his superpower to heal yet!" Liu Jing also disagreed while looking at Bai Yifan, "If you or Xiao Hai gets hurt, then you can let your grandpa try!"

Bai Yifan: ....

Bai Anhai: ....

This home is unbearable anymore.

"Our base has a guy named Song Ning, whose healing skills are top-notch. I’ll call him over in a bit," the Base Commander said eagerly.

"He’s already looked over Xiao Niu; her memory might be a bit mixed up, but it will be fine in a week."

Leng Yebai was adept in bus kitchen activities.

Bai Xiqin smelled a rich aroma of dates mixed with porridge. Although she always preferred strong flavors and didn’t really like sweet porridge, this aroma felt very natural and pleasing, leaving her a bit hungry just by the smell.

Even with her mouth stuffed with food, Bai Xiqin found the food’s aroma too tempting and wanted to eat more.

Her muddled mind seemed to have eased quite a bit too.

Zhang Yiming did not get on the bus but stood at the door, looking inside, and when he saw Bai Xiqin sitting in the middle surrounded by the Bai Family, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Delivered safely. It was time for him to leave.

This place never belonged to him; the place filled with decay was his world.

The time he secretly separated from the decayed world and bathed in the sunlight was stolen.

"Xiao Niu, I’m leaving."

Zhang Yiming waved at Bai Xiqin with a smile and, after saying this, turned around to leave.

"Hey—where are you going?" Bai Xiqin was puzzled.

Even now, she still didn’t understand why Zhang Yiming didn’t stay in the safety base. Wasn’t the safety base meant for survivors?

Why was Zhang Yiming unafraid of the apocalypse and didn’t reside in the safety base?

"I’m going back." Zhang Yiming paused, turned to Bai Xiqin, who was sticking her head out from the window.

"Aren’t you afraid of zombies?"

Looking at Xiao Ming bathing in the sunlight, Bai Xiqin always felt that Zhang Yiming was too gentle and refined, definitely the bullied side if he encountered zombies.

At first glance, Zhang Yiming seemed delicate and unable to care for himself.

"Not afraid, I... have a superpower."

Zhang Yiming snapped his long fingers, and a warm flame emerged from the fingertips.

But the flame looked very warm and didn’t seem lethal, Bai Xiqin seriously doubted Zhang Yiming’s strength.

"There are so many zombies outside; it’s not safe at all. You can definitely live in the safety base," Bai Xiqin frowned, gently touching the wound on her forehead.

Not sure if she was pondering something or if her forehead was starting to hurt again.

Bai Xiqin’s words silenced everyone for a moment.

It might be unsafe for anyone outside, but not for Zhang Yiming.

No matter if Zhang Yiming is the future Brother Zhang or the current Zhang Yiming, without a doubt, Zhang Yiming has always been the Emperor among zombies.

"Don’t worry, I’m really very capable," Zhang Yiming smiled.

He knew it was Bai Xiqin worrying about him.

"Alright, make sure to be careful. If you encounter powerful zombies, run away quickly. If necessary, come to the safety base," Bai Xiqin instinctively thought the safety base was the safest place.

Zhang Yiming always maintained a gentle and polite demeanor; if he was amidst the zombies, he would surely be zombie fodder.

Bai Xiqin did not recall who got rid of the zombies initially when she woke up.

Mainly because her head was injured, so her thinking wasn’t as nimble as before.

"Mmm, okay. If there’s danger, I’ll run over."

Zhang Yiming turned around with a smile and walked towards the outside of the safety base with big strides, waving at the people behind but having no courage to look back again.

If he wasn’t a zombie, and Xiao Niu said that to him, he would surely think it’s the gentlest love confession in the world.

But, as a zombie, the safety base wasn’t the safest for him; it was a place guarding against him.

The Base Commander discreetly touched his nose, stretching his neck to look at Zhang Yiming’s departing figure, then stealthily whispered to Leng Yebai, "Do you need me to take him out?"

This Zombie King seemed to have a tendency to steal his daughter-in-law.

He normally wouldn’t provoke Zombie Kings, unless they posed a threat to the base.

And now there’s added cause—stealing his daughter-in-law isn’t allowed either.

"Go ahead!" Leng Yebai remained calm, "With the bond between him and me, I’ll make sure he leaves your corpse intact, without making you wail, no need to thank me."

The Base Commander: ....

"Your bond is truly fragile," the Base Commander quipped.

Leng Yebai replied calmly, "It’s okay."

It seems they have a hundred thoughts every day hoping for the other’s untimely demise, doesn’t it!

"I’ll head back for a bit!"

Suddenly, the Base Commander clapped his forehead, remembering something, and rushed out of the bus.

Leng Yebai ignored the rushing Base Commander, continuing to cook diligently, carefully preparing every dish.

All of these were meant to nourish Xiao Niu.

The Base Commander rushed out without stopping, heading straight towards the base building.

At this moment, as a father-in-law, he should send some good food for the daughter-in-law to nourish. Regardless of whether the Bai Family has it, he still wanted to express his feelings.

However, upon rushing out of the bus, he realized that the Bai Family ate better than he, the Base Commander. Sending food seemed humiliatingly inadequate.

But what to send if not food?

The Base Commander was utterly conflicted.

"Base Commander, I have something serious to discuss with you."

Feng Ge suddenly dashed forward, blocking the Base Commander’s path.

Feng Ge chose a crowded path specifically, with people around, ensuring the Base Commander wouldn’t act against him.

He still had some reservations because the Zombie King and Leng Yebai were obviously allies. If the Base Commander sided with them, he’d have no choice but to leave the safety base.

Especially when he heard the Base Commander’s assurance to not be on guard, he felt it’d be better to leave this place.

Yet, he was reluctant to part with his current position; as Yunhua Safety Base’s head, he was respected wherever he went.

Thus, he decided to make one last gamble.

He bet that the Base Commander would protect the safety base without siding with the Zombie King, and would take action to eliminate the Zombie King.

"What’s the matter, speak up!"

Upon seeing Feng Ge, the Base Commander’s face immediately turned cold.

This was the guy who caused his daughter-in-law to get hurt!

If his son didn’t express a wish to take action himself, he would’ve done something by now. Since the son had yet to fully reconcile, the Base Commander refrained from taking action, not wanting to have his son’s disapproval, thus was forced to endure.
