For some reason, Bai Xiqin always wanted to spend a little more time with these two people.

She felt they were very kind.

"We can’t, we really have other things to do."

Looking into Bai Xiqin’s dark eyes, middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan heartlessly refused.

If they didn’t restrain themselves now, when the time for separation came, the ones who would be heartbroken wouldn’t be just the two of them.

Seeing Xiao Niu, who finally had a reunited family, it was truly unbearable to make her endure the pain of separation again.

Middle-aged Liu Jing thought the same way.

Elders always make the best choices for the younger ones unconditionally and very rationally.

Middle-aged Liu Jing supported middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan, said goodbye to the Bai Family, and slowly turned to leave.

Bai Xiqin took two steps in the direction the two left, and her dark eyes were fixed on their backs.

"Is there really a way to travel through time in this world?"

Bai Xiqin said suddenly.

She herself was proof.

Except she traveled as a soul.

She returned to the time before the apocalypse after self-destructing in the apocalypse.

"I don’t know, maybe there is!" Bai Zhengxuan didn’t know what Bai Xiqin was thinking, and continued to talk about the Classic of Mountains and Seas knowledge by himself, "According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there’s a divine beast called Chenghuang. Riding it, one can travel through time."

Bai Xiqin looked back at Bai Zhengxuan, her dark eyes filled with unknown thoughts.

"Xiao Niu, what’s wrong?" Liu Jing rubbed Bai Xiqin’s hair, her face full of kindness.

She could sense that Xiao Niu’s mood was somewhat low, as if she was thinking of something unpleasant.

"It’s nothing." Bai Xiqin pulled up a smile, suddenly asking a seemingly unrelated question, "Grandpa and Grandma, if you didn’t know the apocalypse would happen, where would you have gone?"

During those three years of the apocalypse, she saw the death of her parents and younger brother, but never found her grandparents.

Because her grandparents lived in the countryside, and the road to the countryside was very rough.

After finally gaining a bit of strength, allowing her to travel around, she was captured by those in the organization.

Let alone looking for her lost grandparents.

"I’ve never thought about that," Liu Jing said shyly, "At first, your grandpa and I thought we had a terminal illness. If we didn’t know it was superpowers or the apocalypse outbreak, we would certainly have stayed in the countryside!"

We couldn’t bother the younger generation with our terminal illness, making them anxious and worried.

"Then if the apocalypse did break out, where would you have gone?" Bai Xiqin asked again.

Seemingly very insistent on this question.

"Of course, we’d come to find you. Think about it, your grandpa and I are superpower users, if the apocalypse broke out, we’d definitely come to find you." Liu Jing said as a matter of course.

"That’s right!" Bai Zhengxuan nodded to himself, "No matter where you are, we’d find you."

The family should be together, neatly and tidily.

"Mm."

Bai Xiqin replied softly, yet glanced once again in the direction where middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan and Liu Jing had left.

Leng Yebai stood by Bai Xiqin’s side, gently tugged her finger, with a trace of heartache in his eyes.

He knew, Xiao Niu must have thought of things from her previous life.

"I’m so hungry! Sis, when are we eating?"

Bai Yifan rubbed his rumbling stomach, blinking his eyes.

After experiencing the zombie horde again, he needed a good meal to soothe his young soul.

"Now!"

Looking at Bai Yifan’s pitiful appearance, Bai Xiqin’s dark eyes slightly curved into a smile.

Perhaps she was overthinking!

How could such an unbelievable thing happen in this world?

As soon as dining was mentioned, the Bai Family regained their energy, cheerfully heading towards the bus, tidied up the BBQ area, and started eating again under the evening glow.

It was so lively.

In the distant trees, two incredibly powerful superpower users restrained their aura, silently sitting in the tree watching the scene here.

In their hands, they held a family photo.

The backs in the family photo were a sea of pink, with the Bai Family members’ faces beaming brightly.

The only slightly disharmonious part was the positions of Bai Zhengxuan and Liu Jing.

Their heads had been carefully cut out with a knife, replaced by two younger portraits.

The two younger portraits looked abrupt yet fit perfectly with the family.

...

The sky was filled with stars, and the galaxy was brilliant.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming was riding a motorcycle alone on a deserted road.

A palpable murderous aura emanated from him, causing zombies within a few miles to shiver in place, too frightened to move by the accidental aura emitted from Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming.

His eyes were hollow as he looked forward, where a river lay ahead.

The motorcycle did not stop and charged directly towards the river ahead.

With a splash.

The motorcycle and Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming sank to the river’s bottom, disappearing without a trace.

The motorcycle quickly stalled in the water, and the river surface returned to calm.

At the river bottom, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming closed his eyes, recalling all he had done in the apocalypse.

All of humanity was his enemy.

The thing he took the most pleasure in was watching one safe base after another fall and watching humans be bitten and assimilated by zombies.

He gave up restraining himself and fully unleashed his instincts.

He began to devour flesh like all zombies.

His instincts were magnified to the extreme.

This version of him was unbearable and filthy.

His slender fingers tightly clenched, black blood oozing from his fingertips, blending into the river.

Though the black blood was just a drop in the ocean to the river, it quickly disappeared.

Yet it could never wash away all he had done.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming looked up from the river bottom at the crooked moon in the sky.

If he could do it all over again... ha, if only he was who he is now, how great it would be.

Who knows when, a grotesque-looking zombie stood by the river.

Moonlight shone on its decaying face, carrying a hint of melancholy.

The zombie looked fearfully at the river bottom, bowing its head in silent watch.

Its decayed fingers clutching a sack, the sack is covered in black blood.

The sack had a small tear, through which one could faintly see a pile of sparkling crystal cores inside by the moonlight.

The calm river surface rippled, as a man emanating a murderous aura slowly emerged.

Blood continued seeping from his fingers, yet he did not care at all, a hint of wickedness on his face.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming walked straight to the expression-grim zombie, stretched his fingers, and took the crystal core from its hand.

The decayed zombie looked fearfully at Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, a trace of sorrow passing through its eyes.

The decayed fingers slowly let go of the crystal core.

Suddenly.

The decayed fingers mercilessly stabbed into its own temple, forcibly extracting the Fourth Rank crystal core from its own head.

The dripping black-blooded finger reached into the sack.

With a snap.

The Fourth Rank crystal core fell into the sack, becoming one of them.

The decayed body collapsed straight to the ground, lifeless.

Its half-open decayed eyes carried an indelible sorrow.

The Emperor’s orders must be obeyed.

The Emperor demanded all zombies’ death, including it.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, as if not seeing the zombie that just "died", did not even glance at the decayed corpse on the ground. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He casually placed the crystal core in an abandoned car on the riverside road, drove off.
