Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 44: People with Hypertension Shouldn’t Eat Salty Food
"Big bro, you go first! I’ll cover the rear!"
Bai Zhengxuan waved at the garbage truck, assuming the posture of a master from a hidden world.
"Cover what rear! This is getting us wiped out!"
Uncle Wang cursed as he parked the garbage truck next to the bus.
His garbage truck, a veteran of countless battles, had been enhanced by superpowers numerous times.
If the Bai Family couldn’t hold up, the garbage truck could still offer them some cover!
It wasn’t out of kindness; it was mainly because the dumplings from yesterday were too delicious, with thin skin and plenty of filling.
He wanted to enjoy them a few more times in his lifetime!
Uncle Wang gripped the steering wheel, ready to crush the mutant rats.
Suddenly, dense Steel Needles frosted with ice flew over from above, each targeting a mutant rat.
The mutant rats instantly fell in droves.
The purple electric light spread from Leng Yebai’s hand, scorching patches of mutant rats to a crisp yellow.
Scorching flames sprayed onto the mutant rats.
Squeak, squeak...
The cries of the mutant rats were incessant, dying in wave after wave of superpower attacks.
There were still too many mutant rats, advancing wave upon wave.
They seemed to feel no pain and knew no fear.
Even with piles of mutant rat corpses in front, they relentlessly charged forward.
In their eyes, the Bai Family was food.
"These rats make my ears hurt!"
Liu Jing controlled the barrage of Ice Needles to pierce the ground.
She didn’t have Control Ability, so the Ice Needles went straight, missing many rats, but there were so many Ice Needles that mutant rats fell in droves.
"Xiao Hai, didn’t you insist on keeping rats when you were little?" Bai Zhengxuan looked at Bai Anhai, pointing to a pile of mutant rats ahead, "Want me to catch a couple for you to keep?"
"No."
Bai Anhai’s mouth twitched slightly; the flames and electric glow in his hands flared up fiercer, throwing them violently at the mutant rats.
"Wow, didn’t know you liked keeping rats!"
Wang Yiyun looked at Bai Anhai, feigning amusement.
Back then, when Bai Anhai and she watched a movie, it was a comedy, but Bai Anhai insisted he was scared, desperately burrowing into Wang Yiyun’s arms!
Just because a mouse appeared on the screen for a second!
"Wasn’t afraid as a kid, but now I am!"
Bai Anhai explained with a stiff neck.
Wang Yiyun rolled her eyes, but her mouth turned up slightly.
The mutant rats kept surging towards the bus, and kept tumbling down.
Wave after wave.
An hour later, things quieted down.
"Phew! Finally done, I’m exhausted!"
Bai Zhengxuan moved his stiff arms.
"My superpower is completely drained!"
Liu Jing looked at the mountain of mutant rat corpses, feeling apprehensive.
"Where are we going?" Wang Yiyun looked into the distance.
The people who lived at the wind farm had long driven away, not even a Shadow could be seen.
Bai Xiqin controlled a large barrel of oil, pouring it onto the mountain of mutant rat corpses.
Bai Anhai was desperately gathering superpowers in his hands, a bean-sized flame slowly drifted towards Mouse Mountain, ready to extinguish at any moment.
The bean-sized flame landed on Mouse Mountain, and in an instant, the flames spread across the entire Mouse Mountain.
"Collect Crystal Core," Bai Xiqin said.
Crystal Core is essential for enhancing superpowers; as long as the apocalypse isn’t over, superpowers are the guarantee of survival.
"Okay, let’s eat first, I’m both tired and hungry!"
Bai Anhai felt his deflated belly, looking weary.
Too much superpower consumed, he felt completely drained.
"Ugh, that smell is awful, let’s move on!" Wang Yiyun frowned, glancing at the burning Mouse Mountain.
The stench was overwhelming, spoiling their appetite.
"Xiao Fan, drive forward a bit!"
Bai Zhengxuan shouted.
"Okay!"
Bai Yifan responded.
Gearing up, pedal to the metal.
Vroom—
Thud~
The massive inertia neatly knocked the six atop the car, their faces intimately meeting the solar panels on the roof.
A family should stick together.
"You rascal!"
Lying flat on the roof, Bai Zhengxuan gritted his teeth.
If he had the energy now, he’d definitely give his grandson a good spanking!
"Hey, why is Uncle Wang still there?"
Bai Anhai barely lifted his face, looking confusedly at the garbage truck.
The green garbage truck remained motionless; wasn’t he bothered by the stench?
Bam!
Bai Xiqin used her remaining superpower to control a brick, hitting the garbage truck.
"Who? Who’s trying to harm me?"
Uncle Wang wiped his drool, looking puzzled.
Watching the Bai Family exterminating rats got too boring, so Uncle Wang dozed off.
"Oh no!"
Uncle Wang took a moment to spot the blazing Mouse Mountain ahead, jumping in fright.
This family was just terrifying!
"Uncle Wang, follow us, it’s time to eat!"
Bai Anhai shouted.
"Food?"
Uncle Wang decisively floored the accelerator, following the bus.
The vehicles stopped at a distance from Mouse Mountain.
The six people on the roof helped each other down.
"Huh? How did your faces end up like that? Bitten by rats?" Uncle Wang asked, puzzled, looking at everyone’s faces.
All six of them had swollen faces, all left cheeks uniformly puffed.
"Long story. Bai Yifan, start cooking!"
Bai Zhengxuan waved, gritting his teeth as he called to Bai Yifan.
Bai Yifan scratched his nose; when he was driving, he seemed to hear something falling on the roof.
But he shouldn’t be blamed; he had mentioned before, he didn’t have a driving license!
"Let’s have dumplings again today!"
Uncle Wang grinned at Bai Yifan.
Last night’s pork and scallion dumplings were so fragrant!
"Okay, I’ll go make them!"
Bai Yifan hurried to the kitchen to make dumplings, feeling guilty.
Better run before standing too long in front of the family and risk getting beat up.
Luckily, the filling and dough made yesterday weren’t finished; Bai Yifan quickly wrapped several hundred dumplings.
The plump dumplings were boiled, and fearing complaints about the taste, Bai Yifan prepared some dipping sauces with extra seasoning.
In less than an hour, Bai Yifan swiftly brought out the dumplings.
Don’t ask why it was so fast, mainly to avoid getting hit.
"Smells great!"
Uncle Wang devoured dumpling after dumpling, wolfing them down.
He always felt the Bai Family’s dumplings were the best.
"Dad, how’s the taste?"
Bai Anhai calmly asked Bai Zhengxuan.
"Too salty!" Bai Zhengxuan glanced at Bai Yifan, "I have high blood pressure, can’t have salt!"
"Indeed too salty!" Leng Yebai added after taking a bite, "Too much salt isn’t good for the elderly."
"Ugh, it’s too salty to eat!" Liu Jing touched her swollen face, sighing.
"Oh, is that so!"
Bai Anhai calmly walked into the car, dragging Bai Yifan into the bus. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"Ah!"
Bai Yifan screamed, hair standing on end.
His dad zapped him with Thunder Ability!
Bai Yifan lay speechless on the living room sofa.
The dumpling filling was leftovers from yesterday, made by his grandpa!
His grandparents had stronger superpowers and were fitter than him; why couldn’t they eat salt?
Truly, adults don’t need a reason to hit kids!
"Xiao Fan, stop resting there; climb up and bring down my Steel Needles, and give them a good clean!"
Bai Xiqin touched her swollen left face, commanding Bai Yifan righteously.
Bai Yifan: ...
Since when has his older sister, with her Control Ability, resorted to manual labor for needle cleaning?
