Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 303: You’re Just Not Obviously Strong

Chapter 303: Chapter 303: You’re Just Not Obviously Strong

On the empty road, a blue and white bus was speeding along.

Zhang Yiming sat properly on the sofa in the bus’s living room, hands resting on his knees, back straight.

In front of him, there was a photo.

It was a photo of Bai Xiqin from her middle school days, her youthful smile easily reminded him of those times.

There was a lot of food on the living room table, but no one was eating.

The Bai Family were all holding crystal cores, absorbing the energy from one after another. The beautiful crystal cores turned into waste and were thrown into the trash can.

Zhang Yiming looked towards the trash can.

There was no other household waste in the trash can, only crystal cores that had turned into waste.

This indicated that in the past few days, they only absorbed crystal cores and did not live like normal people.

Zhang Yiming lowered his eyes; maybe he shouldn’t have hidden Leng Yebai’s whereabouts.

But letting her see Leng Yebai as he is now, is it really okay?

"Brother Zhang, do you need my help later? How do you plan to find Brother Leng?"

Bai Anhai was driving, while Bai Yifan was idle, absorbing crystal cores and talking with Zhang Yiming.

Honestly, he himself had almost given up hope.

Absorbing crystal cores every day, yet he was still the one with the weakest superpower in the family.

Picking locks was his speciality, though.

"No need, you just focus on absorbing crystal cores and enhancing your superpowers."

Zhang Yiming glanced at the low-ability Bai Yifan and shook his head slightly.

Even the most incompetent zombie under his command had higher abilities than Bai Yifan!

"Brother Zhang, do you also think I’m weak?" Bai Yifan’s mouth twitched.

Zhang Yiming still had a gentle expression, but the slight shake of his head was a bit demoralizing.

Sure enough, he still found Captain Zhou better.

At least Old Zhou thought he was amazing!

"You’re okay, not too weak." Zhang Yiming paused, thinking he might have hurt Bai Yifan’s enthusiasm, and rephrased it more tactfully, "You just don’t show your strength very obviously."

Bai Yifan: ...

Bai Yifan silently turned away and stopped talking to Zhang Yiming, immersing himself in absorbing the crystal cores.

He felt that today, Brother Zhang was a bit less endearing.

Bai Yifan closed his eyes, holding a Third Rank crystal core in his hand, a core his elder sister had given him.

It was from the mutated golden retriever, the first formidable enemy his family had encountered.

Now, it had been polished smooth and shiny by his handling.

The energy of the Third Rank crystal core had not yet been fully absorbed. He was still that First Rank superpower youth as before.

Not a bit changed!

Bai Yifan felt the superpower flowing through his fingers and throughout his body, then gathering in his brain.

Despite using all his strength to absorb the energy, he was still some ways away from breaking into the Second Rank superpower.

Once the energy gathered in the brain, it disappeared without a trace.

Sometimes Bai Yifan wondered if his brain was just filled with water.

Did the energy get neutralized?

So frustrating!

Bai Yifan absorbed for five minutes and then quietly opened his eyes again.

"Brother Zhang, do you absorb crystal cores quickly?"

Bai Yifan wanted to integrate the techniques of human superpower users and the Zombie King in absorbing crystal cores, combining the best of both worlds.

"I don’t usually absorb crystal cores. I only do it when I’m seriously injured to recover." Zhang Yiming said seriously, "Speaking of which, I’ve only been seriously injured once."

That was the time when Leng Yebai helped fight another Zombie King, and he got seriously injured, with a huge hole in his heart.

"You don’t usually absorb crystal cores to enhance your superpowers?" Bai Yifan asked with curiosity.

"Normally, I don’t need to absorb them. I give the crystal cores I collect to my subordinates." Zhang Yiming said.

"Then how did you become so powerful?"

Bai Yifan rubbed the shiny crystal core in his hand with envy all over his face.

"I don’t know, it just happened unconsciously." Zhang Yiming shrugged, looking innocent.

He didn’t know when he had become the most powerful zombie.

Normally, he didn’t absorb crystal cores, but just last night, he sat in the yard with a crystal core.

Thinking, if someone found him, he could just say he was absorbing the crystal core, collecting the essence of heaven and earth.

Bai Yifan: ...

He thought his family was already abnormal, but he didn’t expect Brother Zhang to be even more so.

That’s classic humblebragging.

"Brother Zhang, if you’re already so powerful, do you still use the bathroom?"

Bai Yifan blinked and asked curiously once more.

He had asked a cleanly dressed High Rank zombie this question before, and it went berserk.

He had also asked Brother Zhang once in Zombie Village, but unfortunately, he didn’t respond.

He figured it was probably because they were eating at the time.

Maybe he was embarrassed to say.

Now no one was eating, so asking shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Anyway, with his big sister here, Brother Zhang wouldn’t dare hit him!

Zhang Yiming’s face twitched slightly, pretending he hadn’t heard Bai Yifan, as he looked out the window.

"Brother Zhang?"

Bai Yifan called Zhang Yiming again and even reached out to tug his arm.

Zhang Yiming calmly withdrew his arm, continuing to ignore Bai Yifan.

"Brother Zhang, do you need to or not?"

Relentlessly, Bai Yifan sat on the sofa next to Zhang Yiming, persistently pulling on his arm.

Zhang Yiming turned his body away in the opposite direction of Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan chased, Zhang Yiming dodged.

Bai Yifan chased again, Zhang Yiming dodged again.

You chase, he dodges.

Is it a degradation of moral integrity or a corruption of ethics!

"We’re here!"

As Zhang Yiming was about to run out of space to dodge, the bus came to a halt, and Zhang Yiming quickly stood up and walked out.

Bai Yifan pouted.

Fine, next time then!

He’d ask again when he had the chance.

The group returned to the spot where three people had wrestled. A small pit was now filled with withered branches and leaves, almost unrecognizable as the exact location.

In the distance, a strong burnt smell lingered in the air, with a slight hint of gunpowder.

This was caused by the explosives the Bai Family threw out when hiding in a space. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Zhang Yiming instinctively took a few steps toward the direction of the burnt smell and could easily spot the scorched ground ahead.

On the scorched ground, fine green shoots were sprouting, and soon the scorched earth would be completely covered.

Zhang Yiming slowly closed his eyes, a powerful brainwave rapidly expanding.

Seeing Zhang Yiming standing still, the Bai Family remained silent, knowing this was a zombie skill.

To avoid disturbing Zhang Yiming, the Bai Family stood at a distance.

Invisible brainwaves searched for nearby zombies.

But the Bai Family had been killing here for two days, attracting almost all the zombies nearby.

There were no zombies for Zhang Yiming to summon.

Zhang Yiming wasn’t worried, his brainwaves steadily searched for nearby zombies.

There were always some that slipped through the net.

Found one.

Zhang Yiming’s brainwave quickly dominated the zombie’s brain, probing its memory.

Ordinary zombie memories were chaotic, one had to slowly observe the images in its mind.

Such a distance would be a challenge for any Zombie King.

Zhang Yiming, however, could do it easily.

No clues were found.

Zhang Yiming gave up on the ordinary zombie and extended his brainwaves again, continuing to probe for the next one around him.
