Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 35: On the Value of the Bus

Midnight.

Roar――

Roar――

The howls of zombies suddenly filled the streets. Bai Xiqin could hear the zombies roaring angrily from her home.

Bai Xiqin immediately let Qin Yuan out.

After a while, Qin Yuan flew back.

"Master, on every street, there are a few zombies standing in the middle of the road, howling at the sky like crazy, without even worrying about having sore throats," Qin Yuan said.

"Are there any humans or animals around?" Bai Xiqin asked.

Zombies would howl desperately when they saw humans or animals, driven by their bloodthirsty instincts to attack at any cost.

"No, they’re just standing there quietly, howling relentlessly," Qin Yuan replied.

Bai Xiqin was taken aback for a moment.

The zombies’ behavior resembled intimidating humans.

Drive away.

Bai Xiqin narrowed her eyes slightly, suspecting that the high rank zombie wanted to claim S City as its own territory.

But if that were the case, why drive humans away instead of treating them as a feast?

A sleepless night passed.

Morning.

Bai Anhai prepared breakfast early, then locked all the windows of the house.

Bai Xiqin collected the furniture into her space, and locked the door before leaving.

"I hope for world peace, so we can come back then!" Bai Yifan said, looking at the locked door with some reluctance.

This was the home he grew up in!

"We can’t come back. After the world finds peace, this won’t be our home anymore," Bai Anhai said calmly, touching the door. "By then, who knows which buyer will have snagged this house!"

To gather funds for supplies, he sold their house to several people.

Who knows who owns the house now!

Bai Yifan: ...

Each person carried a bag as they headed to the underground parking lot.

Leng Yebai didn’t mind the trouble, carrying his bike downstairs without letting Bai Xiqin help to stow it in her space.

In the stairwell, they occasionally encountered neighbors walking down, but no one exchanged pleasantries with them.

Everyone noticed the Bai Family going out to kill zombies. At the beginning of the apocalypse, everyone thought it was too bloody.

Some even stood against the wall when they saw the Bai Family going down, waiting for them to pass before moving.

"This treatment is a bit like the Emperor attending court!"

Bai Zhengxuan muttered.

"Are you the Emperor, and are we the palace maids and eunuchs?"

Liu Jing glared at Bai Zhengxuan.

"No, you are the Old Buddha," Bai Zhengxuan said, pointing at Bai Xiqin with a smile, "and this is the Little Princess!"

"Then I’m the Crown Prince, right?" Bai Yifan raised his eyebrows.

"No, you’re the little eunuch!" Bai Zhengxuan shrugged.

Bai Yifan: ...

The family chatted and laughed as they quickly reached the underground parking lot.

They could vaguely see that some people were already sitting in certain cars, sitting silently.

Everyone had heard the zombies howling at night.

Everyone wanted to leave with the main group quickly, but no one dared to go first.

So they just waited for everyone to leave together.

Bai Xiqin checked her watch; it was already six o’clock. It was only a fifteen-minute journey to Zhongcheng Avenue.

The underground parking lot was filled with many luxurious cars, but the most eye-catching thing was the large bus parked ostentatiously in the Bai Family’s parking spot.

Under the gaze of others, the family confidently boarded the bus.

The bus’s windows were specially made, opaque from the outside, and the material was of high quality, reportedly even bulletproof.

"Dad, are these windows really bulletproof?"

Bai Yifan sat in the seat, his fingers touching the bus, as the light yellow power seeped from his fingertips, then dissipated on the metal surface.

Gold Ability Users can reinforce metal objects, so eventually, they could drive the bus around recklessly.

"Let me tell you this: the bulletproof windows on this bus are worth five years of imprisonment."

Bai Anhai calmly sat in the driver’s seat, ready to set off at any time.

Bai Yifan: ...

Goodness, he just wanted to know if, in a non-apocalyptic world, he’d ever have the chance to see his dad out of jail!

Bai Xiqin took out the food she made yesterday from her space and put it into the fridge on the bus.

Then she took out some toiletries and clothes, placing them in the upper living area.

"Let’s go!"

Bai Xiqin sat on a chair in the bus’s first-floor lounge, then helped her grandparents fasten their seatbelts.

The bus made a slight rumbling noise, then slowly moved toward the exit.

Behind them, some private cars followed the bus.

Bai Xiqin glanced at the private cars, then ignored them.

The parking lot’s barrier was still blocking the way. With the apocalypse beginning, the security personnel had long disappeared.

Bai Anhai pressed the gas pedal, effortlessly smashing the barrier with the bus.

The bus was unscathed, not even a scratch.

This was all thanks to Bai Yifan being a Gold Ability User.

"Tsk!" Bai Anhai raised his eyebrows, "I’ve dreamed of growing up and driving around crashing into things!"

The feeling of barreling through was exhilarating. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Unfortunately, the law doesn’t allow it.

"Good thing it’s the apocalypse now, or I’d have to bring you meals in jail!" Bai Zhengxuan glanced at the smashed barrier.

"Bring meals?!" Liu Jing said calmly, "The state provides food and shelter, so bringing meals is a waste of money."

Bai Anhai: ...

What a mother!

The bus barreled out of the neighborhood.

On the street, some cars lay wrecked by the roadside, clogging the road.

A blue and white bus effortlessly pushed the cars to the roadside, bulldozing a path through.

"This horsepower is really impressive!" Bai Yifan remarked.

With so many cars, the bus easily cleared a path; without powerful engines, a strong exterior wouldn’t matter.

"This engine alone is worth at least three years of imprisonment."

Bai Anhai was slightly boastful.

This bus had been completely modified inside and out, converted to electric power, and a solar panel was laid on the top layer for reserve power.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary bus.

In reality, for the value of this bus, Bai Anhai could keep enjoying state-provided meals until Bai Yifan’s son learns to solve equations!

The bus charged forward, private cars following behind, moving slowly toward Zhongcheng Avenue.

A fifteen-minute journey took half an hour, but finally they reached Zhongcheng Avenue.

Zhongcheng Avenue runs through all of S City, and it’s a wide road, making it the most convenient route for evacuation.

Bai Xiqin took a look and saw damaged cars piled on the road, but it wasn’t too serious; wide enough to maneuver through.

"There are police cars over there! Huh, why is there a garbage truck in front?"

Bai Yifan pointed in a direction.

Everyone looked over, seeing a green garbage truck leading at the front, charging forward.

The green garbage truck moved like a green beast, smashing abandoned cars ahead to create a path.

The smashed cars were scattered on the roadside, while the garbage truck continued unscathed.

Behind the garbage truck were about a dozen police cars, followed by a long line of private cars.

Bai Xiqin squinted her eyes, spotting the driver of the garbage truck, an unremarkable-looking old man.

"Now you know why your car is totaled, right?" Bai Xiqin said with a twitching smile at Leng Yebai.

It was this old man who drove a garbage truck and totaled Leng Yebai’s luxury car!

Your Grandpa is indeed still your Grandpa!

The old man had evidently awakened a Gold Ability before the apocalypse, reinforcing the garbage truck!

Leng Yebai: ...
