"Of course itâs necessary." Bai Xiqin looked Bai Yifan up and down in his delicate dress, nodded affirmatively, "Donât you think this dress looks beautiful on you?"
Bai Xiqin wasnât lying; he was speaking the truth.
"Beautiful it is, but itâs a bit inappropriate."
Bai Yifan awkwardly tugged at his dress, still feeling resistant inside.
What if he ran into an acquaintance?
Could he even live on?
"Such a lovely outfit! If you donât wear it for a bit longer, itâll lose its essence!"
Bai Xiqin earnestly patted Bai Yifan on the shoulder.
Bai Yifan touched his nose, agreeing wholeheartedly with his sister.
His sister was the prettiest girl in the Bai Family.
The reason she was the prettiest was that Bai Yifan was a boy...
Ahem, at this moment.
Bai Yifan thought he was the best-looking; it was a little embarrassing, but his self-awareness was spot on.
"Since thatâs the case, Iâll reluctantly wear it a little longer!"
Bai Yifan reached out with an orchid finger, smoothing his long black hair, and tidied up his dress a bit.
The image of a stunning girl appeared instantly.
As long as Bai Yifan didnât speak, he was the most beautiful.
Bai Xiqin and Bai Yifan were discussing who was the prettiest, while the two most gossip-prone members of the Bai Family kept their comments to themselves.
At the moment, they were busy.
"Tsk, tsk, this is my first time seeing a brain crystal core, it feels no different from a zombie crystal core, except the energy is purer, seems easier to absorb."
Liu Jing half-squatted on the ground, put on a pair of white gloves she produced from somewhere, her gloved fingers restless, occasionally poking at the crystal core.
The Bai Family did not want the brain crystal from a human; it was too unsettling.
It was just a First Rank crystal core, they could get one with a mere walk outside, no need to take it from a corpseâs brain.
Unlucky!
Bai Xiqin looked at the energy-pure crystal core and slightly shook his head.
In the apocalypse, who knows how many people like Captain Zhu harmed survivors for temporary gain.
Absorbing the brain crystal of Superpower Users does boost oneâs powers faster, but how was that any different from cannibalism?
Liu Jing wasnât interested in the crystal core of Superpower Users; she was interested in the structure and location of the core in the human brain.
The most capable was Wang Yiyun; not only did she put on white gloves, but she was also holding several cosmetics.
Opening a bottle of foundation, she started smearing it on someoneâs face.
While applying makeup, she pulled out a little kit.
"Help me thread the needle!"
Wang Yiyun tossed a kit of needle and thread to Bai Anhai.
Bai Anhai caught it in a fluster, looked at Wang Yiyunâs operation, and his voice weakened a notch.
"What for?"
"Need to sew up their wounds." Wang Yiyun said without lifting her head, "Although they did many wicked things, and itâs only right to leave them exposed in the wild, my hands are itching. Itâs been too long since I prepared a real corpse for burial, my hands feel rusty! My skills, the ones that feed me, shouldnât be wasted, after I tidy them up, we can burn them."
Lately, itâs always been zombies, the difficulty of applying makeup was high, and it was hard to feel any sense of accomplishment.
Now, encountering real dead bodies for the first time, Wang Yiyun felt fulfilled!
With trembling hands, Bai Anhai threaded the needle through the eye after a long effort.
Looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, he silently handed the needle and thread to Wang Yiyun.
It wasnât that he didnât dare to look, he just felt that viewing it would give him nightmares, which wasnât worth it.
Actually, he quite admired his wife.
Before the apocalypse, her daily work was dealing with corpses, yet she could tidy them up beyond recognition to a state where the families were satisfied.
For so many years, Wang Yiyunâs skill always left the families grateful.
Grateful that she used her hands to give their loved ones a final dignity.
In her over twenty years of service, only one family was ever dissatisfied with her skills.
Later, under Wang Yiyunâs "moral persuasion," they became satisfied.
Sobbing with gratitude, no less.
...The family initially wanted to sue Wang Yiyun for assault, they even hired a lawyer.
Unfortunately, during the confrontation between the two families, the lawyer couldnât out-argue Bai Anhai, and thought Bai Anhai was right.
And that was the end of it.
Now belonged to the joyous hours of Wang Yiyun and Liu Jing.
Several corpses were enough to keep them quietly busy for quite a while.
During this time, the Bai Family silently looked up to the sky, admiring the clouds (in the desolate wilderness, there was nothing else to admire).
"Do you think the clouds up there look like cotton candy?"
Bai Yifan, lifting his skirt, pointed delicately at a certain cloud.
"I think it looks a bit like whatâs on Lazy Goatâs head."
Bai Zhengxuan, after speaking, thought he was right and nodded vigorously.
"Who is Lazy Goat?"
Leng Yebai looked at a certain cloud, a little puzzled.
In his childhood, he wasnât like ordinary children, growing up happily under the protection of his family. Cartoons didnât attract him.
He only thought about making money, moving out of the orphanage, and having a house of his own, which would be his home.
It was only when he met the Bai Family that he understood, home was not just a house.
Home, the important part isnât the house, but the people inside it.
"Youâre good in every way, just a bit ignorant." Bai Zhengxuan proudly tilted his chin, "Look at me, even at my age, Iâm still keeping up with trends!"
Leng Yebai: ...
Looks like he needed to brush up on his knowledge in his spare time.
"But itâs a shame, without the internet in the apocalypse, my little chick must have starved, and I canât gather feed." Bai Zhengxuan casually pointed at a cloud, nonchalantly said, "Look, doesnât that look like my starved little chick?"
"Grandpa, thatâs virtual, without the internet thereâs no chick either, it wonât starve." Bai Xiqin said.
Bai Xiqin didnât often open it, was too lazy to collect feed, let alone feed the chicks.
"No, itâs alive, will get hungry without feed and even go to someone elseâs place." Bai Zhengxuan sighed, "Clearly, you donât often feed them, your chick came to my phone."
"It was visiting!" Bai Xiqin said.
"What visit? It eats too much, finished over ten thousand g of my feed! If I didnât diligently gather feed, both chicks would starve!" Bai Zhengxuan complained.
To not let them starve, Old Man Bai Zhengxuan mastered various channels to gather feed.
Even harder to care for than pet chickens.
Daily tasks were clicked every day, just for those few grams of feed.
Fortunately, barely able to maintain the chickâs food and shelter.
Bai Xiqin: "...Actually, you can drive it away."
"Forget it, better keep it!" Bai Zhengxuan proudly lifted his head, "Way easier to raise than your dad, if I feel upset I can even give it a beating."
