Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 129: Follow Your Heart

Bai Xiqin’s mouth moved, but no words came out.

A zombie that looks exactly like a human, she had never seen before.

She felt nothing but disgust for zombies, deep in her heart.

In her previous life, her parents and Xiao Fan were brutally killed by zombies, and she could not forgive those bloodthirsty monsters.

She had killed many zombies.

But she had never seen a zombie with its own thoughts.

Aren’t they all bloodthirsty monsters?

"Sister, you don’t have to be afraid! I won’t hurt you, you are a good person." Xiao Luo smiled innocently at Bai Xiqin, scratching her head embarrassedly, "Can I trouble you with something, sister?"

Xiao Luo’s voice was that of a normal six-year-old, filled with innocence and naivete.

"What is it?"

Bai Xiqin’s voice was a bit hoarse.

Leng Yebai stepped forward and held Bai Xiqin’s hand.

The firm and warm hand brought warmth to Bai Xiqin, whose cold fingertips started to warm up slightly.

"My mom and dad are buried in a yard behind this one, along with some other children." Xiao Luo’s eyes looked toward the direction behind her, her young voice carrying a trace of ancient sorrow, "I must be with my mom and dad. Sister, could you bury me there?"

Xiao Luo had no idea why she had become the way she was now.

She only knew that after being captured, she was subjected to those fat men..., and later watched as one child’s arm was cut off, skewered, and barbecued in the yard.

Afterward, it was her turn.

She watched as a kitchen knife was plunged into her stomach...

In her dying moments, she only managed to hear them say that a child’s heart is tender...

Afterwards, when she opened her eyes again, she saw the big sister and them coming into the yard.

Even though she was only six years old, she understood what her current state meant.

Having lived this long in the apocalypse, even the most sheltered flower knew that zombies were what humans became after dying.

The only consolation was that she had not become like the mindless and ugly zombies outside.

Dead was dead, and there was nothing left in this world for her to long for.

Now, she only hoped to quickly go find her mom and dad, to become their daughter again someday.

"You are not dead."

Bai Xiqin pursed her thin lips and spoke slowly, word by word.

The person in front of her was clearly alive, so how could she be dead?

She was a six-year-old child; how could she be one of those bloodthirsty monsters!

Bai Yifan stared blankly at the little girl’s back, the wind gently blowing her dress, revealing vaguely that her stomach area was empty...

"Sister, you really are a good person." Xiao Luo smiled brightly, "But Xiao Luo really doesn’t want to be alone in this world anymore. I’m going to find my mom and dad now."

Bai Xiqin opened her mouth to say something more.

But then saw Xiao Luo suddenly raise her hand, the white hand, now carrying a sharp and fierce aura.

"Stop!"

Bai Xiqin’s eyes widened, her Control Ability bursting forth, fiercely suppressing Xiao Luo’s finger movements.

It was too late.

The Control Ability seemed ineffective against Xiao Luo.

"This is a gift for Sister, thank you Sister..."

After saying this, Xiao Luo’s fingers impulsively pierced into her own temple, extracting a pale red Crystal Core.

The pale red Crystal Core glimmered on her white fingers.

She didn’t know if this counted as the most valuable gift, it was just instinct that told her this was the most valuable thing on her body.

With a smile frozen on her face, Xiao Luo pushed the Crystal Core towards Bai Xiqin.

At the same time, Xiao Luo’s thin body fell backward like a broken doll.

Bai Xiqin hurriedly reached out, catching Xiao Luo’s cold wrist, her other hand supporting her waist.

Bai Xiqin’s body slightly stiffened for a moment, her eyes staring blankly at Xiao Luo’s waist area.

...

The three of them did not enter the house, instead, they burned it to the ground.

Even the fat cat lazily sleeping in the yard was sent to the other side by Bai Xiqin with a Steel Needle.

The fat cat’s eyes were green, being able to sleep peacefully in this place meant it was its feeding ground.

Leng Yebai, Bai Xiqin, and Bai Yifan took a shovel and went to the yard that Xiao Luo mentioned.

They placed the bodies of two adults alongside Xiao Luo’s body.

None of the three said a word, silently digging until the hole was large enough to accommodate three people, only then did they stop.

That pale red Crystal Core, Bai Xiqin did not take, instead, they dug a hole and left it here.

After settling the family, Leng Yebai rode a bicycle with Bai Xiqin heading towards the safe base.

Bai Yifan ran along behind them.

Bai Xiqin quietly rested her head on Leng Yebai’s back, her eyes slightly hollow.

The thing she hated the most was zombies, upon seeing one she would definitely dig out their Crystal Core.

But, zombies like Xiao Luo, could they still be considered zombies?

If so, could they also be considered the new humans?

People can turn into zombies, can become Superpower Users, and can turn into zombies like Xiao Luo.

Does that mean this is just another way for humans to evolve?

Bai Xiqin’s mood was slightly heavy.

If all zombies were like Xiao Luo, with thoughts, does that mean there is no apocalypse?

And everyone just has various special abilities?

Bai Xiqin’s mind was in a bit of chaos.

She was trapped in a conundrum. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The deep-seated hatred toward zombies, and the acknowledgment of those zombies that have thoughts.

With zombies like Xiao Luo existing, does it mean that there are others like her?

They had died too, not turning into bloodthirsty monsters, only having black blood flowing in their veins.

Dead, yet still living.

Bai Xiqin’s body couldn’t help but shiver slightly.

If one day, all zombies have their own thoughts...

Then, this so-called apocalypse, what kind of bullshit apocalypse is it!

"Xiao Niu, we are killing zombies, they are bloodthirsty monsters. If humans don’t kill them, they have no place to stand or live, this is all justified." Leng Yebai said softly while riding the bicycle.

Bai Xiqin adjusted her position, continued to rest her head on Leng Yebai’s back, without responding.

Leng Yebai didn’t wait for Bai Xiqin’s response and continued speaking to himself.

"There must be zombies like Xiao Luo in this world, we can’t treat them as enemies just because they are zombies, nor can we go easy on them just because they have thoughts."

"All this depends on their stance. People are divided into good and bad, so are zombies. Xiao Niu, those zombies were also once people, maybe... they were people we knew."

Leng Yebai paused here, his voice softened a lot.

"If I turned into a zombie, would Xiao Niu consider me an enemy? That Zhao Mimi is also human, but does it mean you would become friends with her?"

"Xiao Niu, don’t dwell on the conflict between zombies and humans, just follow your heart."

Leng Yebai said softly.
