Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 291: How About... Playing Some Music?
"Brother Leng has zombie’s rotten fingers on his leg!"
Bai Yifan’s pupils contracted, his face full of terror, his voice altered.
Bai Xiqin was wiping the table in the bus’s living room when she heard Bai Yifan’s exclamation; she only had time to see Leng Yebai’s back.
Leng Yebai disappeared in less than three seconds.
A huge sense of fear suddenly surged in Bai Xiqin’s heart.
Instinctively, she threw away the rag, rushed to the driver’s seat in two or three steps, opened the door, and quickly ran down.
The bus was still wet, Bai Zhengxuan just came over from the other side, his face slightly surprised.
"Quick! Catch up with him!"
Bai Anhai’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly recalling the scene when he and Bai Yifan were knocked down.
At that time, they heard Leng Yebai’s muffled groan!
Bai Xiqin looked confusedly in the direction where Leng Yebai disappeared, her mind momentarily blank!
At this time, Liu Jing and Wang Yiyun also got off the bus, their faces full of shock.
All along, the family had hardly been injured since the apocalypse.
The most severely injured Bai Family member since the apocalypse was Bai Anhai; he was hit by his own son!
Being bitten or scratched by a zombie means a separation by life and death.
Leng Yebai had stayed with them for a few short months, the Bai Family had already regarded Leng Yebai as a son-in-law.
If he really had an accident...
Bai Anhai reacted the fastest, directly ran back into the bus, then sat in the co-pilot’s seat and shouted.
"Get on quickly!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
The bus roared to life.
Two tires were already flat, and the outside of the bus was not washed clean.
Can’t care about so much now.
Bai Xiqin was dragged onto the bus by Bai Yifan and Wang Yiyun.
Just as everyone got on and hadn’t yet stood firm, the bus suddenly dashed wildly in one direction.
Due to the two flat tires, the bus did not run very steadily, with the danger of overturning at any time.
Bai Xiqin’s slightly trembling fingers pressed on the bus, an invisible control power enveloped the bus.
The bus immediately became much more stable, and its speed doubled.
"What exactly happened? How did Xiao Leng get injured? Did you see clearly?"
Liu Jing rubbed her eyes, her voice changed.
Don’t think she’s a forensic doctor, dealing with dead bodies every day, usually loving bones the most.
Actually, deep in her heart, she had immense respect for life.
It was precisely because of respecting life that she chose to be a forensic doctor, to redress injustices for the dead, and bring criminals to justice.
"I don’t know either!"
Bai Yifan shook his head with reddened eyes.
He truly didn’t understand what was going on.
Bai Anhai was driving, too busy to say anything.
However, the Bai Family had already thought of the worst outcome.
This child, Leng Yebai, seemed aloof, but was actually similar to Bai Yifan at heart, being family-loving with a bit of silliness.
If something important hadn’t happened, he definitely wouldn’t have run out on his own!
"No way! Why haven’t we seen him yet!"
Bai Anhai’s eyes tightly locked on the front, the bus, under Bai Xiqin’s control, had run a long distance.
Leng Yebai was on foot, no matter how fast, they should have caught up by now.
"Look for Leng Yebai!"
Bai Xiqin released Qin Yuan from the spatial storage, her fingers holding the cold Qin Yuan and threw it out the window.
As Qin Yuan flipped in the air, it instantly saw the Bai Family in the bus looking around nervously with tense expressions.
A brooding atmosphere permeated among them.
As an unusual animal, it sensitively perceived that something major happened.
Qin Yuan resolutely flapped its wings vigorously, desperately twitching its nose to start searching for Leng Yebai’s scent.
Qin Yuan had just flown off when the Water Python was also released.
Bai Anhai realized his direction was probably wrong, decisively changed direction, and retraced their steps.
Two hours later.
The blue and white bus raced alone on the road.
Still no sign of Leng Yebai.
Qinyuan Water Python also didn’t catch any trace of Leng Yebai, this was the hardest to accept.
The Water Python and Qin Yuan had very sensitive noses, capable of locating the Mutated Ant Queen.
Yet they couldn’t find Leng Yebai.
They could only detect scents they had previously encountered.
The inability to find meant Leng Yebai’s body scent had changed.
Perhaps...
No one in the family spoke, just quietly staring at the wooden box in the living room.
The box was dug up from the place where they had fallen.
This box must have been placed by the person commanding the High Rank Zombie that day, maybe just by coincidence, or perhaps it was his twisted pleasure.
No one would think the Bai Family would return for this pitch-black bus.
The bus traveled throughout the road, but only at the spot where the three fell was there a wooden box with a mechanism.
The box contained a sophisticated mechanism; once stepped on, the box would open and the contents would be ejected.
What sprayed out were not arrows.
But rotten zombie fingers.
The wooden box was already damaged, and in the box’s compartment, a lonely jet-black finger stood upright.
The cut on the finger was smooth, as if chopped off directly by a knife.
Bai Xiqin still didn’t speak, her dark eyes fixedly staring at the rotten finger, her fingers slightly contracting.
Her nails dug into her flesh without her noticing.
Since rebirth, Leng Yebai had always been by her side, his sudden departure left a void.
Some people, after being infected with the virus, wouldn’t turn into zombies, that probability was too low.
It was so low that Bai Xiqin had only heard of this legend in the apocalypse, never saw it.
If he becomes a zombie...
Bai Xiqin felt a stabbing pain in her heart, recalling being locked together in the underground research institute.
She thought past hardships were over, she had already foreseen the future, yet an accident still occurred.
Qin Yuan and Water Python were still wandering outside, unable to discern which scent belonged to the current Leng Yebai.
The Bai Family, seeing Bai Xiqin’s silent demeanor, were anxious but didn’t know how to comfort her.
They too wanted to find Leng Yebai quickly, but now wasn’t a time when a phone call could locate someone.
From morning till night.
Stars filled the sky, it was already early morning.
The Bai Family, with dark circles under their eyes, were still gazing out the window, hoping to spot someone’s silhouette.
"How about... playing some music!"
Bai Yifan said softly.
If unfortunately, Leng Yebai really became a zombie, and one without any thoughts, if they played some music, maybe Leng Yebai would be drawn out.
Although none of them wanted to admit Leng Yebai might turn into a zombie, it was the likeliest possibility.
If Leng Yebai became a rational zombie like Zhang Yiming, he would certainly come to find them.
Not coming, maybe...
After Bai Yifan’s voice fell, the bus went silent, a dead silence, only the sound of the bus engine struggling could be heard.
"...Play it!"
Bai Xiqin’s voice was somewhat weak, with a hint of hollowness.
This was only the second sentence Bai Xiqin spoke in these dozen hours.
The first was to look for Leng Yebai.
Bai Anhai’s fingers paused on the music play button, after a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and pressed it.
Never had they thought, those who once attracted zombies with music, would one day use music to attract their own.
