Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 29: Put the Bicycle Down!

"Stay at home, take good care of grandpa and grandma. If someone knocks, don’t open the door." Bai Xiqin looked at Bai Yifan, "Remember to enhance your superpower before bed."

After this round, they collected nearly twenty crystal cores.

"...Alright then!"

Bai Yifan was slightly disappointed.

A diaper wasted.

After a simple meal, Bai Xiqin glanced at the watch; it was already 10 PM.

At this time, there were very few people outside. Everyone had food, and if they didn’t, they would stay home hungry for a few days.

They all thought this apocalypse would quickly end with guns and ammunition.

"Dad, why did you pack so much stuff in your backpack?"

Bai Xiqin was dumbfounded looking at Bai Anhai’s bulging hiking backpack.

"Just in case!" Bai Anhai rubbed his nose, "Didn’t we agree to pack some things! Can’t have you taking items out of the space in public!"

They had agreed to keep the secret of Bai Xiqin’s space ability hidden!

"No need to bring so much! A token amount will do! We’re only going out for a few hours and will be back soon!" Bai Xiqin said, rubbing her forehead.

"Alright then!"

Bai Anhai silently took a blanket out of the hiking backpack and placed it on the sofa, instantly deflating the backpack by half!

Everyone: ...

Why bring a blanket while gathering supplies!

To keep the cutie warm??

"Leng Yebai, put down the bike!"

Bai Xiqin glared at Leng Yebai, who was carrying a bike.

This bike creaked noisily, which would attract zombies!

Leng Yebai regretfully glanced at the bike and silently placed it in the corner of the living room.

Finally, everything was ready.

The four of them left the room, and Bai Xiqin gave several reminders.

"Remember, don’t let anyone in. If someone asks for food, let them find it themselves."

"Got it!"

Bai Yifan obediently nodded and locked the door from the inside after Bai Xiqin left.

Then, the three of them silently sat in the living room, each holding a crystal core.

On the other side.

Each of the four people hugged a skateboard as they left the apartment building.

In encounters with zombies, vehicles wouldn’t save lives.

With the apocalypse’s arrival, traffic was chaotic, accidents were everywhere, making it impossible to move around freely.

A skateboard was even more practical than a car.

Before the apocalypse hit, they’d taken some time to master skateboarding skills.

Even the seventy-year-old grandparents could skate smoothly.

The lights in the community were still on; the apocalypse had just begun, and everything seemed to be running normally.

Bai Xiqin was at the front, Leng Yebai at the back, with Bai Anhai and his wife in the middle. The four sped out on their skateboards.

"Roaaar――"

The zombies’ heavy sound came from a direction.

Bai Xiqin gestured to keep moving, and none of them stopped.

Occasionally a zombie would notice them, but Bai Xiqin would dispatch it with a steel needle.

They paused at the community gate.

"Roaar――"

A dozen zombies stood at the gate, roaring angrily towards Bai Xiqin’s group.

These zombies originally roamed the streets and must have seen people inside the community, so they roared at the gate.

They had no thoughts, only staying where they saw humans.

In the security room, the door inside was being endlessly pounded on, as zombies had emerged from the security guards inside.

"Tsk!"

Wang Yiyun clicked her tongue, her eyes slightly brightening.

Her daughter said that after the apocalypse, crystal cores would be an important currency, and seeing so many zombies, there must be plenty of crystal cores.

The goal was to gather supplies, and with poor visibility at night, they didn’t plan on getting tangled up too much.

Over a dozen ice-encrusted steel needles flew through the air, each precisely piercing a zombie’s temple.

Thud~ Thud~

The four climbed over the iron gate with their skateboards.

"Roar――"

The zombie security in the security room was still angrily slamming the door.

But the door was locked from the inside, and the zombie couldn’t get out.

Wang Yiyun drew a dagger strapped to her calf, swiftly slicing open each zombie’s head.

Quickly and skillfully, she placed the crystal cores into a cloth bag at her waist.

This was specifically for crystal cores.

Exiting the gate, they now saw the scenery outside.

This was a narrow road, yet it was clogged with numerous cars.

Some zombies were stuck inside cars, howling in vain.

The chaotic cars crashed into each other, indistinguishable whether their owners intended to flee outward or inward towards the community.

All of it was futile.

No place is absolutely safe.

"Let’s go!"

Bai Xiqin whispered, then quickly headed towards a nearby pharmacy on her skateboard.

The street was riddled with countless zombies, and while Bai Xiqin’s control ability combined with her steel needles seemed perfect, it wouldn’t hold against a tide of zombies.

Bai Anhai and Wang Yiyun understood the gravity of the situation, being trained by Bai Xiqin, they were careful to control their movements, making no noise.

Leng Yebai just silently watched the slender woman at the front, his eyes full of tenderness.

She was unlike other girls.

In his dreams, she was always this composed.

He could feel the pain of various experiments in his dreams, but never once saw her cry.

Leng Yebai’s lips lifted slightly; he felt a bit grateful for this apocalypse.

Because of it, he not only met her but also found... family.

He was an orphan and never knew his parents, the name Leng was one he chose after he could remember things.

Back then, he always felt cold.

After meeting her, this world became warm.

Pharmacies were everywhere, with a major pharmacy on virtually every street.

After less than five minutes, Bai Xiqin stopped at a large pharmacy.

The two zombies at the entrance hadn’t yet reacted when they died under Bai Xiqin’s steel needles.

The pharmacy’s sign hadn’t been taken down, and promotional ads were still at the entrance.

’Spend sixty yuan, get twenty eggs.’ 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Bai Xiqin sighed lightly.

In ancient times, plaques often read: May the world have no illness, who cares if the shelves gather dust.

Now: Buy meds, get eggs.

Not sure when taking medicine became commonplace.

Mountains of various medicines piled up.

The pharmacy door was unlocked, and inside was empty and unattended.

It seemed the clerks fled during the apocalypse, or turned into zombies.

Even with the door open, the medicines inside weren’t reduced.

On the first day of the apocalypse, survivors awaited rescue, and with available food, no one risked infection to raid pharmacies.

Bai Xiqin gestured and entered the pharmacy with Wang Yiyun, while Leng Yebai and Bai Anhai guarded the door.

Some shelves inside had toppled over, with medicines scattered all over the floor.

Bai Xiqin didn’t mind, collecting the medicines along with the shelves cleanly.

With many pharmacies around, cleaning out one wouldn’t trouble survivors.

In less than ten minutes, the entire pharmacy was spotless, even the warehouse medicine was stored in the space.

"Daughter, won’t this be discovered as a space ability?" Wang Yiyun asked, a bit uneasy looking at the empty room.
