"So people are worse than zombies, yet they still have the nerve to despise zombies?"
Bai Zhengxuan looked at the boy’s arm, furrowing his brow.
"Is it you?"
The old man looked up with a delighted expression at the Bai Family.
Which side the Bai Family was on didn’t matter to him, what he cared about was whether soone could kill this captain.
The Bai Family was stunned, looked at the old man for a while, and then rembered that he was Dean Wang from the ntal hospital.
And that boy, Bai Xiqin also recognized, was the one who thought himself as a peach tree.
At this mont, he was curled up on the ground, occasionally muttering a whole string of celestial nas and mumbling words about peaches and peach trees.
This was a sign of a ntal patient being frightened.
"Heh, since you know each other, it’s going to be tricky!"
Captain Zhu’s usually fair face had a hint of cruelty, and he rcilessly opened fire on the father and son.
He had co so many tis, he already knew Zhang Yiming wouldn’t kill him.
So he beca even more reckless.
The people he brought this ti were useless, no matter, he’d capture other Superpower Users, he was determined to get Xiao Song out.
"Bang bang!"
The gun fired twice, bullets flying towards Dean Wang and Wang Ge.
Dean Wang’s eyes widened, looking in horror at the shooting Captain Zhu; without superpowers, he had no choice but to shield his son.
The expected sharp pain didn’t co.
He glanced back and only saw two bullets suspended mid-air, unable to advance any further.
Bai Xiqin’s hand was raised, veins bulging, managing to stop the bullets.
After becoming a Fourth Rank Superpower User, her abilities had strengthened significantly.
Before, she could only alter the direction of the bullet with her control power, now she could forcibly stop them.
Captain Zhu looked incredulously at Bai Xiqin’s raised hand, a hint of madness in his eyes.
Why, why couldn’t such a powerful Superpower User be him?
He just wanted to take Xiao Song, why couldn’t he!
"Poof—"
The bullets aid at the Wang father and son rebounded back at Captain Zhu.
The two bullets pierced his arm, his blood instantly soaking through his clothes.
Captain Zhu clutched his arm, glared coldly at Bai Xiqin, and turned to leave.
He walked very slowly.
Behind him were a bunch of zombies and the Bai Family.
If anyone or any zombie attacked him, he wouldn’t have ti to retaliate.
Yet he deliberately walked very slowly, leaving no room for maneuver.
Because he knew they wouldn’t let him die.
They wanted so answers from him.
"Heh, hope next ti I see you, you’re still alive."
Captain Zhu let out a cold laugh and rode off on a motorcycle.
"Xiao Zhu wasn’t like this before!"
Bai Zhengxuan sighed as he watched Captain Zhu’s retreating figure.
It was Captain Zhu who led the survivors of S City out; back then, he was still a righteous captain.
"In the apocalypse, everyone changes."
Bai Anhai said just one sentence, then fell silent.
The Bai Family had changed too.
In the past, they were all well-behaved people.
Bai Anhai was a top lawyer, never did anything against his conscience; even though he was an ace lawyer, he only took the salary that belonged to him.
He was capable of earning millions a year but only wanted his clean share of earnings.
Wang Yiyun and Liu Jing seed to be in intimidating professions, but they too worked diligently.
After the beginning of the apocalypse, Wang Yiyun cursed out all her superiors; before that, she was also a good employee.
Let’s not even talk about Mr. Bai, a lifelong people’s teacher, a paragon of virtue.
Now... forget being a paragon of virtue!
In short, no one remains unchanged.
"It was so fortunate to run into you this ti; if it weren’t for you saving and Wang Ge, we’d definitely not last till tomorrow!"
Dean Wang held Wang Ge’s arm with one hand, looking gratefully at the Bai Family.
"How did you get caught by Captain Zhu?"
Bai Xiqin half-squatted on the ground, her hands emitting green light, which seeped into Wang Ge’s arm.
The control power and wood ability perfectly combined, effortlessly extracting the bullet, and soon the wound ceased bleeding.
Dean Wang breathed a slight sigh of relief seeing Wang Ge’s arm no longer bleeding.
"Wang Ge wandered off again, I was searching for him and sohow ended up here; just as I was about to leave, I ran into that jinx."
Dean Wang appeared quite unlucky.
Bai Xiqin twitched the corner of her mouth; who really was the jinx here?
"You should wait a bit longer before leaving! Wait till that jinx is gone and then go!"
Bai Anhai glanced in the direction Captain Zhu had left.
Captain Zhu had intricate connections with that mysterious organization; they needed to play the long ga.
Xiao Niu had already got Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing keeping an eye on him, and soon they’d find clues about that mysterious organization.
"You’re right!"
Dean Wang looked at Wang Ge’s arm and pulled him up from the ground.
Wang Ge avoided looking at the Bai Family, his gaze vacant as he stared ahead.
"The peaches are dehydrated, they need watering."
Wang Ge muttered in his stupor.
"Wait a bit, wait a bit, not now."
Dean Wang reassured, pulling out a safety rope from his pocket.
This was the kind used for children, one end tied to the child’s wrist, the other to the parent’s.
To prevent kids from running off or being snatched by traffickers.
Dean Wang deftly looped one end on Wang Ge’s arm and the other on his own wrist.
"You’re crushing my branches, how many fruits will that yield in the future?"
Wang Ge frowned, his wood ability intermittently surfacing.
Wang Ge was a ntal patient, his mind as chaotic as a zombie, tinged with wild unease,
this special ability made him more powerful than ordinary Superpower Users.
Not just Bai Xiqin, the Bai Family could feel that Wang Ge was much stronger than other Superpower Users of the sa rank.
"No worries, no worries. When we go back, I’ll give you so fertilizer, guaranteed to be the finest organic. Your branches and leaves will be just fine."
Dean Wang tightened the rope around his wrist calmly, speaking as if practiced.
He was, after all, the dean of a ntal hospital, best at understanding the mind of ntal patients.
"Mm!"
Wang Ge’s vacant eyes surprisingly showed a glimr upon hearing Dean Wang’s words.
Bai Family: ...
The suited male zombie regretfully glanced at the chatting Wang father and son with the Bai Family, silently leading the zombies back into the courtyard.
It could still discern which food could be eaten and which couldn’t.
Dean Wang wiped sweat from his brow, eyeing the retreating zombie horde.
The Bai Family’s strength far surpassed his imagination.
With nowhere else to go, the Wang father and son temporarily stayed with the Bai Family in their current ho.
The village entrance regained its tranquility.
Zhang Yiming lay with his eyes closed on a chair, fully aware of the commotion at the village entrance.
But since the Bai Family had gone over, he hadn’t paid much attention.
His full attention was on that unattainable figure.
He could only brazenly gaze at that unforgettable figure through the eyes of a zombie.
