Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 237: The Zombie’s Kindred

"You’re not from Baiyang Village, are you?"

The butcher looked at Bai Xiqin and Zhao Mimi with a sinister smile on his face full of fat.

Behind him, everyone looked at Bai Xiqin and Zhao Mimi with the gaze of looking at food.

Whether young or old, child or elder, they all had the same expression.

Before Bai Xiqin could speak, a boy behind the butcher spoke up.

"Definitely not, I’ve never seen them before! Butcher Wang, what are you waiting for, hurry up!"

A boy with green glowing eyes looked eagerly at Bai Xiqin and Zhao Mimi.

It seemed like he was about to rush over immediately.

Saliva, or perhaps a transparent liquid, seemed to be dripping from the corner of his mouth as he smiled wickedly.

"Heh, even if they’re from Baiyang Village, we’re not afraid of their crowd of weaklings!"

"Exactly, we’ve been pretending for so long, it’s time to show them our village’s strength!"

"Yeah! Butcher Wang, Baiyang Village has a lot of people, but they’re all just a bunch of weaklings, and there aren’t many superpower users among them. We should take them all down early!"

The people from Yang Liu Village shouted boldly as if they were discussing how to capture the lambs.

Their faces showed slight grimaces, as if they had lost their reason.

"Alright, stop talking, after we return today, we’ll have a feast and then discuss our strategy!"

Butcher Wang waved his hand impatiently.

Those who were speaking closed their mouths hurriedly upon seeing Butcher Wang’s impatience.

Butcher Wang wanted to wipe out the people from Baiyang Village as well, but they were too united, and Village Chief Li was a First Rank Superpower User.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, the people of Yang Liu Village never showed their true nature in front of outsiders.

Bai Xiqin frowned and spoke with certainty.

Butcher Wang and the others had made it so obvious that if Bai Xiqin still didn’t understand, she would be a fool.

"Heh, so what if we are?"

Butcher Wang gave a sinister laugh, unable to resist swallowing at the sight of Bai Xiqin’s fair skin.

"Is food scarce in the village?"

Bai Xiqin asked incredulously.

In the city, people trapped for weeks without food would begin to have wicked thoughts. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Just like back then in the supermarket with Zhao Mimi and that perverted man.

But in a village, food shouldn’t be that scarce.

Many rural people stockpile a year’s supply of wheat at home.

Even if there is no food, the fields near the village are full of soon-to-be ripe wheat.

How could there not be food?

"Not lacking." Butcher Wang pulled out the knife hanging from his waist and said sinisterly, "The people of Baiyang Village are fools, going to such lengths to resist zombies and mutant animals! It’s actually quite simple..."

At this point, the smile on Butcher Wang’s face grew ever more sinister and terrifying.

"As long as you eat enough of those mutant animals with black blood in their mouths, even the zombies won’t come biting, and killing them becomes easy."

Butcher Wang seemed a little smug as he said this.

He was a butcher, with many pigs at home, and didn’t farm. When the apocalypse broke out, he was the first to run out of food.

Pigs need feed, so he fed them the zombies he painstakingly killed.

He couldn’t let the pigs starve to death.

Unexpectedly, the pigs didn’t die, but their mouths always drooled black blood.

Later, he ate the pork from pigs with black blood in their mouths.

Initially, he noticed no difference.

Later, he realized that when zombies saw him and another human simultaneously, they always lunged at the other person.

To avoid the zombies’ bites, he ate those virus-carrying mutant animals even more recklessly.

Eventually, the villagers noticed that Butcher Wang seemed to have a special power, as zombies didn’t tend to bite him.

Thus, they started asking him how to avoid getting bitten by zombies.

After that, some villagers also started feeding zombie meat to their pets before eating them.

The virus slowly invaded the bodies of the villagers of Yang Liu Village, and the zombies’ bloodlust seemed to have transferred to them completely.

They began to eat raw meat and drink raw blood from mutant animals.

But it wasn’t enough.

Some addicts even cooked and ate zombie flesh.

They retained human memories and were not high rank zombies, but they craved fresh flesh and blood.

Since Baiyang Village was united, and had more superpower users, they never revealed their village’s situation to outsiders.

Secretly planning, waiting for the day to attack Baiyang Village.

Bai Xiqin looked at the self-satisfied Butcher Wang in front of her, feeling sorry for the villagers.

"The reason zombies have become less aggressive towards you, not biting, is that you’re about to become just like them. They see you as their kind!" Bai Xiqin said slowly and deliberately.

Only zombies have an innate bloodthirsty nature.

These people had consumed large amounts of virus-laden mutant animals, becoming addicted. The virus accumulated in their bodies.

If the virus was not lethal and reached a balance, those who consumed the mutant animals might only be addicted and not turn into bloodthirsty monsters.

At most, they would become agitated.

But if they consumed too much, didn’t restrain themselves, and couldn’t stop eating the virus-laden mutant animal meat, they would become bloodthirsty.

If they kept indulging, one day they would lose their sanity and become walking corpses.

Bai Xiqin’s words were clearly heard by everyone.

But they still had an indifferent demeanor, their green eyes fixed on Bai Xiqin.

Their bloodthirsty nature was uncontrollable now. Devouring flesh and blood was more important to them than anything.

"Enough talking, I can’t hold back any longer, hungry!"

A seven or eight-year-old child scratched his head vigorously, holding a knife, and rushed at Bai Xiqin.

He was too young, fed so much virus-laden zombie meat by his family, that he couldn’t control himself and simply followed along with everyone else.

Bai Xiqin looked at the feral child, her eyes slightly dimmed.

The entire village had fallen.

They just wanted to survive, but they chose the wrong path.

It was her first time seeing an entire village eating virus-carrying mutant animals.

An ordinary village, with over a hundred survivors.

Yet there were only a few dozen survivors in front of her.

From the green eyes of those people, it was clear that anyone who didn’t eat virus-carrying mutant animals and wasn’t addicted had probably already become their meal.
