"The sun is so blinding today!"
Bai Anhai looked up at the sun in the sky, squinting slightly.
Upon hearing Bai Anhaiâs words, Bai Yifan silently took a step back, distancing himself from Bai Anhaiâs line of sight.
His dad, when idle, liked to hit the kids.
You could guess with just your toes which kid he would hit.
Of course, it was the most spoiled oneâhim!
"How about we go out for a stroll today?"
Bai Zhengxuan stretched lazily, also feeling a bit bored.
Bai Yifan rubbed his nose, his facial muscles twitching slightly.
Listen, is this human speech or what!
In the apocalypse, people go out risking their lives to scavenge resources.
But at home, they just go out because theyâre too bored.
Really... crazy!
"Bai Yifan, are you coming?" Bai Zhengxuan glanced at Bai Yifan, who was slowly distancing himself from the group.
"Of course Iâm going, might as well, itâs not like Iâm busy, letâs go!" Bai Yifan forced a smile, "Besides, it can improve my superpower, strengthen my physique, and fight against evil forces!"
A whole textbook response!
As the underdog Bai Yifan, his reflexive answers were impeccable!
"Alright, then letâs all go out as a family!"
Wang Yiyun waved her hand decisively.
They had been in the yard for days, and besides the space inside, they hadnât even really walked out of the yard.
About to grow lice.
"Iâm not going."
Leng Yebai, holding a crystal core, sat in the chair sunbathing, his voice weak.
He understood that in his current state, he was certainly a rare find among zombies, and if others saw him like this, it would definitely cause trouble for the Bai Family.
Zombies turning into humans is the key the whole world is searching for.
"What did you say? The wind is too strong, I didnât hear you clearly!"
Bai Xiqin, expressionless, looked at Leng Yebai, her slender, fair fingers already resting on the dagger strapped to her leg.
Since Leng Yebai arrived here, he hadnât gone out and was always just staying in a space, it was easy to get depressed.
Itâs better to go out for a walk!
After all, Bai Xiqin felt Leng Yebai just looked at Zhang Yiming with a kind of deep-seated resentment.
"Iâll go!"
Leng Yebai quietly put the crystal core back in his pocket, tidied his clothes, and thought for a moment before adding more crystal cores to his pocket.
And so, the family happily settled on their plans.
The blue and white bus, after several days of staying idle, roared back to life.
Zhang Yiming, in the room on the second floor, was studying the blood extracted from Leng Yebai, and upon hearing the commotion outside, instinctively looked out the window.
The blue and white bus crashed through the gate of the neighboring yard and roared off in a direction.
Zhang Yimingâs mouth twitched slightly, then he lowered his head to continue studying the petri dish with the blood.
The brown blood fused with the newly added black blood, the two colors merging but not assimilating each other.
The black blood couldnât turn the brown blood black.
The brown blood didnât turn the black blood brown either.
This indicated there wasnât an element in the brown blood that could turn the black blood back to normal, it could only protect itself without saving others.
Zhang Yimingâs eyes deepened.
It seemed his future self was right, the antibodies only existed within the crystal cores.
If that person wasnât Leng Yebai, he would go to any lengths to extract that personâs crystal core.
In exchange for a chance to become human.
But, it was Leng Yebai.
Xiao Niu wouldnât be pleased.
Zhang Yiming sighed almost imperceptibly and poured all the blood from the petri dish down the toilet, flushing it away.
Leng Yebai didnât know his brainâs crystal core was being coveted; he was currently sitting obediently on the sofa, hands on his lap, unmoving.
The rotten flesh on his body had started to scab, though some places still oozed brown blood.
The men of the Bai Family usually cleaned the bus.
Only men could understand the struggles of men.
So Leng Yebai managed himself very carefully.
The direction was decided by flipping a coin.
Unfortunately, that direction was one Bai Yifan had visited before.
There were vast fields, with rotting bodies buried beneath the soil.
Just thinking of the things he dug up made Bai Yifanâs fingers tremble involuntarily.
The bus made a big S curve, nearly crashing into a nearby tree.
The Bai Family lazily lifted their eyelids, calmly resting their chins on their hands, continuing to sit on the sofa.
That Bai Yifan drove like this was not surprising.
Everyone was used to it.
"Sis, come over here and watch the front!"
Bai Yifan was a bit afraid to look forward, stepping on the gas while turning back to talk to Bai Xiqin.
Bai Xiqin looked at Bai Yifan with his head twisted ninety degrees and silently adjusted her control power.
In case Bai Yifan flipped into a ditch, everyone would suffer and be wiped out.
"Watch what?"
Bai Xiqin sat in the passenger seat, looking straight ahead.
Bai Yifan didnât watch the road, so she had to.
"Guess whatâs buried under that empty land ahead!"
Bai Yifanâs voice trembled a bit.
Bai Yifan, the most timid and weakest in the family, bar none.
Just thinking about a field full of buried zombies made him shudder.
The apocalypse was terrifying, he still wished he could go back to school and face English teacherâs contempt.
Bai Xiqin looked puzzled at the front.
"Isnât it just the wheat ready to be harvested?" Bai Xiqin observed the fields on either side of the road, feeling a bit sentimental.
The green wheat ears were plump; in two months, theyâd be ready for harvest.
Itâs just because this area was next to Zombie Village, the wheat could still grow in the ground.
In other places, wheat that had sprouted yet to be harvested would be picked by survivors to fill their bellies.
"Look at the place without wheat!"
Bai Yifan turned his head, not looking forward, strongly reminding Bai Xiqin.
"Itâs all wheat and the road," Bai Xiqin looked calmly at Bai Yifan, "If you donât watch the road, youâll be thrown off the bus."
"Oh, sis, we should have great synergy..."
Bai Yifan gritted his teeth, turned back his head, holding the steering wheel with one hand and pointing forward with the other.
His expression froze instantly.
He didnât see empty farmland but a field of green wheat, with the wheat turning greenish-yellow, nearly ready for harvest.
"Thatâs not right! Last time I was here it wasnât like this! Here, there should be..." Bai Yifanâs eyes flashed with confusion.
In his memory, it was supposed to be a piece of just-tilled land, with rotten zombies buried beneath the soil!
But now, an endless green wheat field stretched out, the fresh scent of wheat wafting through the window.
There wasnât a trace of decay.
"Whatâs buried there?" Bai Xiqin looked at Bai Yifan, slightly puzzled.
"Zombies, Brother Zhang pit-slaughtered a lot of them, buried under the field, many of them." Bai Yifan murmured softly.
With family, Bai Yifan never thought it was bad to disclose such things.
Besides, the family had also killed a vast number of zombies, saying it seemed just fine.
Just that Zhang Yiming is a zombie, and a zombie killing zombies felt oddly unsettling.
"Alright then!"
Bai Xiqin raised an eyebrow, not taking it seriously.
Just zombies; the family had killed plenty.
As for the "many, many zombies" Bai Yifan mentioned, it was just a term of measure.
In Bai Yifanâs eyes, five were a lot, and ten were many, many.
For the weakling, a single zombie could be deadly, but for the Bai Family (besides Bai Yifan), a hundred or more zombies were just light work.
