"Yes."
Leng Yebai nodded affirmatively, without any hesitation, his response crisp and clear.
"Then I’m relieved!" Bai Yifan felt completely at ease.
He trusted Leng Yebai wouldn’t deceive him.
Who would have the time to lie to a kid!
After resolving his inner conflict, Bai Yifan returned to his carefree and open-hearted demeanor.
Bouncing joyfully towards the direction of the bus, ready to make some delicious food for his sister to nourish her.
Bai Yifan’s thinking is actually more steadfast than adults; as long as something is acknowledged by his own brain, he considers it true and won’t be confused by his chaotic thoughts.
And more coincidentally, the things Bai Yifan believes in are almost never wrong, at times having even more authority than a prophet.
Leng Yebai followed behind Bai Yifan, tilting his head to gaze at the cloudless sky.
The scorching sun pierced his eyes closed.
He had dreamed about the laboratory; wasn’t it similar to Xiao Niu’s "time travel" situation?
It’s just that his memory didn’t fuse well; he only remembered a little, but that little already made him grateful for this damned apocalypse.
What he could confirm was that he had always been himself, never replaced by anyone else.
For him, so-called time travel became his future memories returning to his brain, those memories pierced through time and space to reach him.
He didn’t know if souls truly existed, but he knew that even if Xiao Niu lost her memory, she’s still Xiao Niu.
He could feel it.
...Though she seemed a bit slow to react and had forgotten some memories, she was still her; he wouldn’t mistake her unique soul among thousands.
Honestly, he was really grateful for the somewhat chaotic time-space; it was because of it that he got to know Xiao Niu and had intersections in this dimension.
Leng Yebai lightly shook his head, burying the unpleasant laboratory memories back in his mind.
Leng Yebai didn’t directly climb onto the bus but squatted in front of his bicycle, looking at the dirty bicycle, his face darker than the black blood on its surface.
Damn, how did this kid manage to make his bike so filthy?
Tsk, he really deserves a beating!
But Leng Yebai chose to put up with it; after all, brother-in-law is still brother-in-law, no matter what, he had to flatter him!
But—
Soon, Leng Yebai heard Bai Yifan’s wails coming from the bus.
Hearing Bai Yifan so "energetic," he felt reassured.
"Ah—Brother-in-law, save me!"
"Dad, I just wanted to take sis out for a stroll, not to become zombie food!"
"Grandpa! Can you please stop talking? You’re just adding fuel to the fire!"
Bai Yifan was scrambling madly inside the bus, his cries echoing far.
Leng Yebai calmly crouched on the ground, meticulously cleaning the black blood off his bicycle.
It wasn’t because he was jealous of Bai Yifan taking Xiao Niu out that he didn’t go to plead.
Nor was it because Bai Yifan had messed up his bike that he didn’t intervene.
He simply felt that when a kid does something wrong, they must be punished!
Life, oh~ it’s wonderful!
The sky, oh~ it’s so blue!
"Roar—"
Suddenly, amidst Bai Yifan’s wails, a zombie’s roar pierced through.
"Xiao Fan! If you want to cry, cry; why bother mimicking a zombie?"
Bai Anhai held Bai Yifan by the collar with one hand, the other hand crackling with lightning, ready to strike Bai Yifan.
Upon hearing the zombie’s roar, he was slightly bewildered.
Could his son actually be a zombie?
Hmm—perhaps it’s justice to take action from heaven?
"Dad! It’s not me! It’s the sound coming from outside!" Bai Yifan, looking utterly disenchanted, gazed at Bai Anhai’s hand glowing with purple light. "Listen, it’s not just one sound; it’s the noise of a horde of zombies!"
Just as Bai Yifan finished speaking, the zombie roars outside became even more prominent.
The sound of zombie roars came from all directions, chaotic footsteps hinting at the enormous scale of this zombie tide.
"Dad, it’s life or death now; wouldn’t you rather not waste time hitting me?"
Bai Yifan grimaced, hearing so many zombies outside, his legs starting to tremble.
"Close the windows, don’t disturb your sister’s rest."
Bai Anhai waved his large hand, letting go of Bai Yifan’s collar, pushing him towards the driver’s seat, and then disembarking with Wang Yiyun and others.
After Bai Anhai got off the bus, Bai Yifan rolled up all the windows; outside, the sound of zombie roars subdued significantly, hardly audible unless listened carefully.
Mr. Bai, a lawyer by profession, guaranteed that the sound insulation of this bus was indeed quite good.
He could even hear his sister’s steady snoring on the second floor.
Honestly, Dad was too anxious; even if the windows were open, his sister’s sleep quality would still be impeccable!
Bai Yifan started the bus, slowly followed behind Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai.
If the zombie tide couldn’t be withstood, he’d have to quickly gather the family and leave together.
Outside.
Leng Yebai placed the bicycle on top of the bus, and then with Mr. Bai and others, moved towards the direction where the zombie roars were the loudest.
The Superpower Users at the safety base were fully on alert, scattered around the base perimeter, looking at the endless zombie tide without feeling despair.
Because the Base Commander was in the base.
In their eyes, the Base Commander was invincible, these zombies were merely here to donate their lives.
Some rational individuals were preparing to flee upon seeing so many zombies.
No matter how powerful the Base Commander, dealing with so many zombies wouldn’t be easy!
However, zombies surrounded the base from all sides; forget ordinary folks, even Third Rank Superpower Users had no hope of escaping.
At this moment, everyone was forced to unite, to jointly fight against the zombies.
When the Bai Family arrived at the base entrance, the Superpower User squad members were already battling zombies.
The zombie tide was striking hardest at the main gates of the safety base.
Some ordinary people stationed near the base managed to enter the safety base before the zombies arrived, while others met their end in the mouths of zombies, not even having the chance to turn into zombies themselves.
Zombies at the forefront bore faces of decayed flesh and were smeared with red blood; zombies carrying human blood themselves became meals for other zombies. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Anything with red flesh, even if accidentally stuck on a zombie’s face, would be devoured beyond recognition by other zombies.
Superpower Users with higher abilities stood at the forefront, their colorful Superpowers falling upon the zombie crowd, no need to aim, casually killing a bunch of zombies.
The Bai Family stood atop the bus, looking out towards the safety base, a vast black mass without end.
It’s hard to imagine, an hour ago, Bai Yifan and others had just returned to the safety base through this gate.
The stench of decay permeated the air of the safety base; ordinary people without Superpowers rushed towards the base building at first instance, trembling and huddling together, inhaling the stench, praying for the nightmare to end.
But surrounded by zombie roars, even if the Base Commander could exhaust the Zombie King, it wouldn’t necessarily guarantee the preservation of the base.
How many would perish within the zombie jaws, and who could assure themselves they wouldn’t become one of the unfortunate few?
The base plunged into unprecedented panic.
