Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 272: You Became Me

The world is vast, and there’s no lack of wonders.

The probability of two people looking exactly alike is low, but it doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Maybe he’s overthinking it, a divine beast like Chenghuang might not exist, let alone coincidentally let him see his past self.

"In the third year of the apocalypse, she died, and you became me."

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming lowered his head and continued wiping the blood on his hand, his long eyelashes casting a shadow, his expression unclear.

His voice was light and devoid of emotional waves.

But every word landed clearly in Zhang Yiming’s ears.

Heavily pounding on his dead heart.

Even though his heart no longer beats, upon hearing this sentence, he still placed his hand over his chest.

There’s no heartbeat there, only a sense of pain.

"Impossible!"

Zhang Yiming stared intensely at the youth full of hostility, his voice slightly trembling.

He already believed eighty percent of the youth’s words.

Brainwaves don’t lie.

He could sense the person in front of him was not just a little stronger than him, yet there was no fear in him regarding the Zombie Rank.

For the first time, he encountered such a peculiar brainwave.

"Humans always get caught in their own webs, arrogant and self-righteous. They wanted to grasp the codes of evolution, so they captured her for experiments." Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming raised his head, revealing a bitter smile, "Did you know? She suffered greatly there, they didn’t get what they wanted, she self-destructed, and the place turned into ashes."

Zhang Yiming’s pupils enlarged, suddenly releasing substantial hostility.

For a moment, he and the youth in front of him, covered in hostility, shared identical auras.

"Who did it!"

Three syllables burst from Zhang Yiming’s teeth, his mind raging with various violent and bloodthirsty emotions.

This anger nearly made him lose his rationality.

Destruction, destruction, destruction.

Though he had never touched flesh before, at this moment, he yearned to destroy everything.

To make those self-righteous people pay the price.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming quietly observed the hostile image of his past self, seemingly returning to the past.

Once, he had been a warm and sunny person.

Even after becoming a zombie, he never ate people.

It’s just that the damned humans destroyed the light that helped him maintain his sunny demeanor.

With the light gone, he no longer restrained himself, becoming the true emperor of zombies.

"I don’t know, those people captured her for research..."

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s voice was extremely light, almost inaudible.

In the third year of apocalypse, he treated all humans as culprits; every human must die.

Despite Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s light voice, Zhang Yiming still heard him.

In an instant, he recalled Xiao Niu’s words to him.

Be careful not to be caught and dissected.

Surely she suffered losses in some research institute.

Good.

Good.

Zhang Yiming was enveloped in palpable killing intent.

None of those people would escape.

"Why are you telling me this?"

Zhang Yiming looked sharply at Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, with a hint of caution.

He knew himself too well. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Xiao Niu holds a significant place in his heart; she’s the only light.

If there’s even a shred of hope, he would face any cost to bring back the once deceased Xiao Niu.

Then, does the future version want to take Xiao Niu?

No, absolutely not.

Xiao Niu would be scared.

"You still don’t understand yourself enough."

Seeing Zhang Yiming’s wary gaze, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming smiled.

The future has already been tainted.

That world isn’t worth it.

He could never allow her to see that filthy world.

"Where were you at that time?"

Zhang Yiming questioned.

Why did she die!

"The past turned different from before, did you forget how you dared not appear before her at first!"

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s eyes held a shadow.

Had he known it would be like this, from the start, he wouldn’t let her wander alone, even if it meant tying her to his side.

Zhang Yiming froze for a moment, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, his tall and upright figure sunk a bit.

He’s a zombie.

Zombies eat people.

No matter how much he restrains himself, violent and bloodthirsty emotions always rampage in his mind.

For someone like him, were it not for Xiao Niu’s indifference, how could he dare appear before her?

"This time, protect her well." Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming looked directly into Zhang Yiming’s eyes, speaking each word slowly, "Do you know how painful self-destruction is?"

Zhang Yiming’s fingers trembled, silent for a long time.

He didn’t know what to say.

Just imagining the scene almost drove his mind mad with turmoil.

Just imagining made him want to destroy all humans.

After Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming finished speaking, he said nothing more and took large strides forward.

He brushed past the identical person.

He truly wanted to stay here.

But it’s impossible.

He could feel an irregular force acting on him every time he used his superpower.

This force came from anywhere.

He knew his presence brought unknowns to this world.

This world rejected his future self.

He and this world were ultimately incompatible.

He feared that one day he’d suddenly disappear, returning to that hellish world.

Absolutely not.

He hadn’t torn apart all those who hurt her yet, he couldn’t bear to leave.

If one day he disappeared without a trace, before tearing those people apart...

Who would know that in the third year of the apocalypse, she would die?

The only person he truly entrusted in this world is his past self.

Only he knows the importance of Xiao Niu’s existence.

Only he knows no matter what, Zhang Yiming would never harm Xiao Niu.

She is his light, how could he watch her extinguish?

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming was frightened.

Afraid that one day Xiao Niu would repeat the same tragedy.

The only thing he knows and believes in is his past self.

He trusts that even if he disappears without a trace one day, his past self will protect Xiao Niu at all costs.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming reached a black, flashy motorcycle, gently caressing it.

The motorcycle was different from before; there were many small scratches on it, reinforced yet still scratched.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming raised an eyebrow, was he such a bad rider back then?

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming found the key hidden in the crevice of the motorcycle adeptly.

The roar of the motorcycle sounded.

The black motorcycle, like a black beast, sped through the streets.

The direction was Shanghai, infamous, once a populous capital.

Now it has become a zombie paradise, a hunting ground for superpower users.

Various High Rank Zombies and High Rank Superpower Users mixed together.

Just like before the apocalypse, fierce competition.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming looked ahead, the corner of his bloodstained lips slightly lifted.

If he were corrected by this world, then so be it.

Should the dust settle, and he can still stay here.

He wonders if he could always remain by her side?

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s cold eyes held a faint smile.

A world with her is wonderful.

On the other side.

It took Zhang Yiming a long time to come to his senses, understanding from his future self’s appearance, Xiao Niu’s future must be...

Zhang Yiming squinted his eyes dangerously; aside from that mysterious organization, he should also be wary of his future self!

He knows how desperately he would fight to stay where Xiao Niu is.

Even if it means killing his past self, he’d spare no expense.
