Chapter 469: Scoop Up a Windfall

The Bai Family’s white protective suits had turned a pitch-black color amidst the decaying little park.

There were even chunks of decayed meat falling onto the once-white protective suits.

No one had the mind to worry whether they were clean or not, they just rushed quickly toward the position of the head.

Old man Bai Zhengxuan shivered with his legs, dragging Liu Jing to the front.

Don’t be fooled by his unsteady legs, he’s the fastest runner.

The sight of decaying flesh was truly a massive blow to his young heart.

Even worse than being chased by zombies in a nightmare, in his eyes, the decayed flesh was overwhelming.

You could even see black particles in the air.

Afraid of being accidentally hit.

"Let’s hurry up, look around, and head back!" Bai Zhengxuan’s face under the protective suit twitched hard twice.

Judging by the sounds under their feet, the zombie army was approaching fast.

Bai Xiqin glanced at Bai Zhengxuan and her dad, nodding quickly, "Okay!"

She could hear the heartbeat coming from her dad and grandpa.

Obviously, her grandpa, who was a people’s teacher before the apocalypse, and her dad, who was a lawyer, were feeling a bit timid.

It’s not that they were timid; the commotion from the ground was making Bai Xiqin’s heart race too.

If it weren’t for the crystal core at the head, she wouldn’t have taken this risk either.

Only her mom, grandma, and Leng Yebai showed no signs of fear.

Maybe it was because of their professions, she could vaguely see a fleeting smile on her mom and grandma’s faces.

The two must be fantasizing about the joy of burying or dissecting zombies if they fell into the hoard!

"Aren’t you scared?"

Bai Xiqin elbowed Leng Yebai beside her while running.

Leng Yebai paused, thought seriously, and asked with a serious face, "Xiao Niu, are you scared?"

"Not scared." Bai Xiqin shook her head decisively.

Even if she was scared, she couldn’t say it!

She considered herself the super invincible heroine!

"Then I’m scared. Xiao Niu, you must stay by my side... to protect me."

Saying the last few words, the stern face beneath the mask of the protective suit blushed slightly.

Fear wasn’t an emotion Leng Yebai ever had; as long as Xiao Niu was fine, he was never afraid.

There was nothing to fear about the decaying meat in the park or the zombies behind.

As long as he was with Xiao Niu, it was okay.

But he read the book Bai Yifan hid, which taught kids how to woo girls, and it said in there.

Girls like to protect those who are weaker than them.

After speaking, Leng Yebai silently held Bai Xiqin’s finger.

"...You’re scared?" Bai Xiqin was somewhat surprised.

She had never seen Leng Yebai show fear, not even when zombies first appeared at the end of the world; he always had a calm look on his face.

"Yes." Leng Yebai nodded heavily.

"Then why aren’t you shaking?" Bai Xiqin raised an eyebrow.

Leng Yebai paused, then started to shake Bai Xiqin’s finger.

...The frequency was a bit fast.

Bai Xiqin felt like she had a weight loss device tied to her arm.

"Alright, I know you’re scared now." Bai Xiqin’s face twitched.

Leng Yebai blinked, silently quieting down.

Why did he feel like the book Bai Yifan hid was a pirated version?

Why didn’t Xiao Niu rush in to hug him?

"We’re here!"

Bai Zhengxuan took a big gulp of oxygen, stopping in front of the giant head.

This was a head full of rot, taller than a person.

The head was like a horse’s, with hollow eye sockets only hanging with some rotting flesh.

The horn on its forehead was abruptly broken, and the whole head looked tattered, with some deep bone-visible scars on the cheeks.

These were traces left by the White Dragon from the sky.

The Flood Dragon’s jaw was missing a large piece, showing bite marks from a giant creature.

Apart from the missing jaw, there were black blood-dripping holes on the top of the head.

Each hole was about the size of an adult’s fist, and you could even see the slow flow of white brain matter.

It was these black holes that destroyed the Zombie Flood Dragon’s brain, causing its downfall.

"Are these holes the teeth of the White Dragon?" Bai Anhai winced at just looking at the holes.

Its teeth were something!

The Zombie Flood Dragon’s skull looked very hard; just by looking through the holes, the bone alone was so deep you couldn’t see the bottom.

The skull must be at least dozens of centimeters thick!

The whole head was unrecognizable, and for a normal Flood Dragon, it would have died long ago with such severe injuries.

"Yes! The skull is not completely opened, the crystal core must be inside, let’s get it and leave quickly!"

While speaking, Bai Xiqin was already controlling her dagger aiming for the position of the Flood Dragon’s skull.

The dagger was coated with a layer of frost and had been strengthened by Bai Yifan many times, always unbreakable.

But the dagger only left a white mark on the Flood Dragon’s skull and could go no further.

Which showed how incredible the biting strength of the White Dragon was.

Bai Xiqin frowned and could only put the dagger through the holes in the skull.

The dagger finally entered the skull smoothly, and soon found something hard.

Bai Xiqin knew, this was the crystal core.

But the Flood Dragon’s crystal core was bigger than the holes, and couldn’t come out through them no matter what.

The ground shook more and more violently, and even the howls of zombies could be heard.

"Come out from the pterion!"

Liu Jing shouted to Bai Xiqin.

The junction of the sphenoid, temporal, and frontal bones is called the pterion.

This is the thinnest part of the skull, also the best spot to dig out a crystal core.

As a professional forensic doctor, Liu Jing often dug crystal cores after the apocalypse and had long gained experience.

"What?"

Bai Xiqin didn’t understand.

She studied computer science and couldn’t understand the professional terminology.

"Near the temple!" Liu Jing said in plain language.

Bai Xiqin patted her head, how could she forget? Zombie crystal cores were also best extracted from the temple area.

However, the Flood Dragon’s head was so large, and the entire head had been severely attacked, it was hard to distinguish where its temple was.

Bai Xiqin simply gave up on the dagger and directly used her control power to manipulate the crystal core, rampaging through the Flood Dragon’s skull.

Finally, a crystal core almost the size of a human head flew out from the temple, appearing in front of everyone.

This crystal core exuded a light blue radiance, magnificent and containing terrifying energy.

"Roar――"

In the distance, the zombie roars grew closer, and the ground shook more violently; the zombie tide was imminent.

"Hiss――"

A Mutated Giant Python covered in black blood also appeared in front of Bai Xiqin, its belly bulged, looking a bit lazy.

It had gorged itself.

"Run!"

Bai Xiqin decisively collected the crystal core and the Mutated Giant Python into the space, then led the whole family toward the direction of the bus.

Everyone took one last look at the Flood Dragon covered in rotting flesh, then madly dashed toward the bus direction.

Getting this close to a Flood Dragon in a lifetime could be bragged about forever!

They were still in awe of these mysterious animals, yet they wanted to have close contact to see more, which was why they had come together.
