Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 245: A Madman
The dense purple lightning instantly coiled around the three people.
The peach tree leaves, wrapped in strange energy, collided with the purple lightning, causing a small-scale explosion.
The energy on the peach tree leaves was clever; stopping it with control power was very difficult, compounded by the vast range of the peach tree leaves.
Bai Xiqin missed the mark.
Bai Xiqin’s gaze deepened; this move was enough to kill First Rank and Second Rank superpower users.
Leng Yebai reached out, held Bai Xiqin, and carefully covered her ears.
To prevent the explosion sound from scaring her.
Bai Xiqin raised an eyebrow, very cooperatively nestled in Leng Yebai’s big hand.
That’s exactly how they do it in the TV dramas!
Right now, she should have a line to say.
"Ah! I’m so scared!"
Bai Xiqin’s voice was bland, without a hint of fear, she practically recited the line.
To be honest, she wasn’t scared at all.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m here!"
Leng Yebai’s voice was still powerful, even if hoarse.
"Uh..."
Bai Yifan’s shadow wobbled, barely shrinking within the purple circle, watching the two of them being lovey-dovey.
Their PDA was tolerable, and being fed dog food was also tolerable.
Watching the two act out a cheesy romantic drama was fine too.
But really, could someone care about him?
He was blasted!
"Ah ah ah... Brother Leng, you’re leaking electricity!!"
Bai Yifan’s hair stood on end.
A burnt smell filled the small enclosed circle.
Leng Yebai glanced at Bai Xiqin, who had nestled her head in his hand, and decisively chose not to listen.
Electricity promotes health.
It won’t kill anyone.
The explosion and scream lasted about five minutes.
The peach tree leaves finally stopped attacking them.
Bai Xiqin silently pulled her head out from Leng Yebai’s hand.
Leng Yebai reluctantly rubbed his fingers, looking somewhat wistfully at the top of the peach tree.
Why isn’t it attacking?
"Uh... Sis, could you take a look at me?"
Bai Yifan silently stretched out a charred finger, lightly tapped Bai Xiqin’s shoulder.
As Bai Xiqin turned around, she saw Bai Yifan looking entirely charred, with hair almost like natural curls.
Bai Xiqin silently patted the spot where Bai Yifan had tapped her, brushing away the black smudge.
"Sis will avenge you!"
Bai Xiqin’s voice was very sincere.
If it wasn’t for her stepping back, Bai Yifan would really believe his sister’s words.
"Brother Leng, look at me."
Bai Yifan stretched out one charred finger, tapped Leng Yebai’s shoulder.
Leng Yebai didn’t turn around. He calmly looked at the top of the peach tree, "Xiao Fan, be careful, stand behind me, I’ll avenge you!"
Bai Yifan: ...
You might as well end yourself!
"You better leave! Otherwise, soon you’ll be unable to leave!"
The voice from the peach tree sounded again, but this time it wasn’t as bold and unrestrained, with a hint of fear.
Leng Yebai lightly raised his hand, and the purple lightning instantly fell on the peach tree, causing its leaves to fall to the ground.
Bai Xiqin simultaneously raised her hand, applying invisible control power to a position, then yanking down hard.
With a thud.
A dirty boy fell from the peach tree.
The boy had a handsome face; the dirt on his face couldn’t hide his fair and handsome appearance.
It’s just, he emitted a faint stench that was somewhat... intolerable.
Instinctively, the three took a step back in unison.
"Ah! My roots are broken, the emperor has left the earth, I’m dying, I’m dying."
The dirty boy suddenly went crazy, rolling on the ground, not doing well.
Bai Yifan looked at the boy on the ground, then at the peach tree, dumbfounded.
Darn it (a type of plant)!
Turns out it wasn’t a tree spirit!
It’s a boy who seems mentally disturbed!
The dirty boy emanated a chaotic energy, as he rolled on the ground, the surface instantly became uneven.
"Ah! The emperor is about to die! The emperor was plucked up!"
The boy rolled on the ground tearfully and uncontrollably, energy bursting chaotically from him!
Bai Xiqin’s gaze deepened, her fingers gently grasped, burying a handful of yellow soil at the foot of the dirty boy.
The dirty boy instantly quieted down, lying motionless on the ground.
"The emperor has finally survived again."
The dirty boy breathed a sigh of relief, tilted his head slightly, revealing white teeth, "Thank you, fellow Daoist for your assistance, allowing the emperor to regrow in the soil; once the emperor conquers the world, I’ll let the Daoist enjoy wealth and honor!"
Bai Xiqin: ...
Bai Yifan: ...
Leng Yebai: ...
After speaking, the dirty boy slowly closed his eyes, quietly lying on the ground.
Seemingly enjoying the nourishment the soil provided him.
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask who you are...?"
Bai Yifan’s mouth twitched.
"Can’t you see?" The dirty boy abruptly opened his eyes, angrily pointing at the peach tree, "I am the peach tree, you almost killed me just now!"
Bai Yifan: ...
It’s not that bad; he only cut a little bit of the roots, besides, he can distinguish between people and trees.
"Where is your home?" Bai Xiqin asked.
This boy seemed to have cognitive impairment, imagining himself as a peach tree.
To put it simply, a mental illness.
The chaotic energy he emitted indicated his brain wasn’t quite right.
From the way he controlled so many peach tree leaves just now, his superpower level was at least Second Rank Level.
At this point in the apocalypse, reaching Second Rank Level was already impressive, and in a medium-sized safety base, he could become an honorable guest!
Whether superpower users, zombies, or mutant animals, their brains underwent changes, forming crystal cores, which gave them powerful energy.
Bai Xiqin looked at the boy before him and suddenly had a frightening thought.
If brain abnormalities were closely related to superpowers, then the patients in psychiatric hospitals, could it be...
Bai Xiqin suddenly shivered.
She remembered something; before being reborn, the Fire Phoenix Safety Base’s superpower squad once transported medical equipment from a psychiatric hospital.
Later, none survived.
It’s said the people inside encountered mutant animals that ate the superpower squad. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
But... is that true?
The boy continued lying on the ground, the soil Bai Xiqin sprinkled on his feet stayed, he kept his eyes closed, answering none of Bai Xiqin’s questions.
With his quiet demeanor, the chaotic energy within him gradually calmed.
Next, Bai Xiqin asked several questions regarding his personal information, but the dirty boy remained unresponsive.
"Do you need watering?"
Bai Yifan suddenly spoke.
"Yes!" The dirty boy opened his eyes, looking at Bai Yifan brightly.
Bai Yifan’s mouth twitched, looking at Bai Xiqin.
Bai Xiqin had the Ice Ability, ice and water were similar.
So Bai Xiqin conjured a piece of ice at the dirty boy’s feet.
"Thank you, Rain God!"
The dirty boy, a bit odd, nodded at Bai Xiqin then closed his eyes again.
He really treated himself like a peach tree.
In the distance, middle-aged Liu Jing and middle-aged Bai Zhengxuan watched Bai Xiqin’s group anxiously, wishing they could rush over and pull them back.
That peculiar boy was indeed a lunatic!
