Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!
Chapter 404: The Importance of Mastering Foreign Languages
Zhu Yan and the mutated panda each occupied one side, comparable to cannon shots.
Where they passed, flesh flew everywhere.
Half an hour later.
All the zombies lay on the ground in a pitiful state, with black blood splattering everywhere.
The Yellow River’s silt enveloped everything.
The black blood flowed into the Yellow River’s water, but the water quality remained unchanged.
It was severely turbid, yet did not turn black.
This is the Yellow River, subconsciously, Bai Xiqin didn’t want its surroundings to be filled with rotting corpses.
Bai Xiqin used her control power to gather the mutilated limbs into a pile, Bai Zhengxuan lit a fire to burn them.
The rotting corpses emitted black smoke, the smoke billowed and drifted toward the blue sky.
The sky embraced the little bit of smoke, remaining clear.
This black smoke compared to pre-apocalyptic industrial pollution was just a minor issue.
The Bai Family distanced themselves a bit from the black smoke, moving the barbecue grill further away.
Then continued preparing skewers.
Two chubby figures silently stood before Bai Xiqin, their eyes staring directly at her.
The mutated panda was dazed, Zhu Yan had a haughty dead fish eye.
Being stared at by these two sets of eyes, Bai Xiqin felt somewhat uneasy.
"Did you come by yourselves?" Bai Xiqin suddenly thought of a very serious question.
Their demand was quite large, definitely unable to take a pile of bamboo shoots and peaches back.
The mutated panda blinked dumbly, silently extending its thick paw.
It was enough to come by itself, those fools knew nothing, coming here would be in vain.
Don’t underestimate it just because one panda came, it alone is enough to represent all.
Apparently, it thought Bai Xiqin would renege because only it came.
Zhu Yan’s dead fish eye moved slightly, looking a bit disdainful.
The fools from Azure Dragon Mountain, what can they do?
It’s enough that it came.
Its thought process was the same as the mutated panda’s.
"How will you take the stuff back? Carry it?"
Bai Xiqin rubbed her temples, feeling a little headache.
Their work was done, not giving them peaches and bamboo shoots seemed unreasonable.
Azure Dragon Mountain and the zoo were not nearby, there was some distance from the Yellow River, if really carried back, it’d be quite troublesome.
"Ooh—"
The mutated panda whined a couple of times.
Bai Xiqin did not understand its meaning, feeling a bit confused.
"Chirp chirp—"
Zhu Yan also cried out twice, Bai Xiqin didn’t understand its meaning either.
This foreign language span was a bit wide, Bai Xiqin somewhat did not understand their meaning.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
"Ooh ooh ooh—"
"Chirp?"
"Ooh ooh~"
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
"Ooh ooh ooh!!"
In her moment of daze, the mutated panda and Zhu Yan "chatted" with each other.
Showing no signs of language barriers.
The mutated panda looked at Zhu Yan in a daze, its gaze gradually turned to one of admiration.
After the two beasts chattered for a long time, they seemed to reach some agreement, then turned their gazes back to Bai Xiqin.
Their thick paws reached towards Bai Xiqin again.
Hand over the goods, cheapskate!
Bai Xiqin: ???
Bai Xiqin still did not understand the meaning.
Zhu Yan’s dead fish eye moved slightly, the face showed some urgency, fingers vigorously rubbed its head.
Blame it for not being able to speak?
Zhu Yan shouted at the mutated panda, then, stepping on its fiery red fur, it sprinted out far away.
The paws with fiery red fur appeared like a streak of light, or like the Great Sage Equalling Heaven stepping on a cloud.
The mutated panda dumbly watched Zhu Yan run out, solemnly nodded, then took a step forward toward Bai Xiqin, eyes focused intently on her.
...A bit like surveillance.
Afraid the cheapskate would run away.
Bai Xiqin: ...
Is she the only one who doesn’t get what’s going on?
This deeply tells us, mastering a foreign language is indeed very important.
"Sis, where did Zhu Yan go?"
Bai Yifan handed a few skewers to Bai Xiqin, looking at the red and white fuzzy figure moving away with a slight sense of confusion.
"I don’t know."
Bai Xiqin gnawed at the barbecue gritting her teeth, genuinely unaware of what had really happened.
And she was inexplicably being watched.
It was... pretty speechless.
"Alright! Eat more, it will definitely come back." Bai Yifan handed all the skewers in his hand to Bai Xiqin and ran to the barbecue grill to roast more.
Bai Xiqin grabbed the skewers and started munching.
When she looked up, she saw the cute face of the mutated panda, seemingly adorned with some crystal clear suspicious liquid.
"Do you want to eat?"
Bai Xiqin tentatively offered a skewer of lamb to it.
It’s said pandas are omnivores, so they should eat meat, right?
The thick paws of the mutant animal quietly clutched each other, forming fists as big as sandbags.
No response.
Its mission was to watch the rich kid and not be tempted.
Until its brother returned, it couldn’t fall.
Bai Xiqin glanced at the mutated panda’s sandbag-sized little fists, and a smirk played on her lips.
"Xiao Fan, do me a favor, roast this."
Bai Xiqin pulled out a fresh, tender bamboo shoot from her space and handed it directly to Bai Yifan.
The moment the bamboo shoot appeared, the mutated panda’s eyes were fixated.
"This isn’t very tasty!"
Even while saying it wasn’t delicious, Bai Yifan still peeled the bamboo shoot, skewered it, and started roasting it on the charcoal fire.
The fresh, tender bamboo shoot sizzled on the charcoal, releasing a gentle bamboo fragrance.
Gurgle, gurgle.
The mutated panda’s stomach growled audibly.
Its thick paws clenched tighter, seemingly trying hard to restrain itself.
In fact, upon leaving the zoo, it had been tirelessly using its nose to track down Bai Xiqin. Along the journey, there had been no fresh bamboo shoots to eat.
It was almost starving.
Upon arrival, it immediately started "working."
It felt it had become thinner.
Seeing the bamboo shoot, it’s gaze turned significantly melancholy.
But remembering its good brother’s advice, the mutated panda held back.
It couldn’t be tempted, the rich kid hadn’t "settled the bill" yet!
"Sis, still insanely spicy?"
Bai Yifan, holding a pile of chili powder, looked at Bai Xiqin.
"Put chili on half and leave the other half plain," said Bai Xiqin.
She wasn’t sure if an iron-eating beast had a heavy taste.
"Got it!"
Bai Yifan skillfully applied the sauce and soon had the bamboo shoot roasted to perfection.
"I’ll give it a taste for it!"
Just as it was roasted to perfection, Bai Anhai grabbed a skewer of grilled bamboo shoot from Bai Yifan’s hand.
The mutated panda looked adorably at Bai Anhai.
As Bai Anhai opened his mouth to eat, it mimicked him, chewing along.
"Not bad, it’s more resilient," Bai Anhai said, squinting his eyes and silently taking all the non-spicy grilled bamboo shoots from Bai Yifan.
The mutated panda adorably stepped closer to Bai Anhai, so close it almost had "I want some too" written on its face.
"Do you want some?"
Bai Anhai, while chewing bamboo shoots, poked a skewer right at the mutated panda’s face.
The mutated panda froze for a moment, took a deep breath, sniffed the grilled bamboo shoot deeply, and reluctantly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Then, looking aggrieved, it stepped back, not eating.
Its brother hadn’t come over yet!
It couldn’t get lost in the rich kid’s sugar-coated artillery shells.
"Looks like it doesn’t like it," Bai Anhai said with a chuckle, stuffing the grilled bamboo shoot into his belly, one bite at a time.
Mutated Panda: ...
For the sake of those fools, it sacrificed a lot, too tragic, too tragic.
The massive body of the mutated panda drooped sadly, its mouth chewing continuously, full of a woeful gaze.
Bai Xiqin couldn’t bear to watch anymore, considering how to pry open its mouth to make it eat some.
"Whoa, sis, look over there!"
Suddenly, Bai Yifan blurted out a curse, staring dumbstruck into the distance.
Simultaneously, the mutated panda suddenly perked up, its thick fist slowly unclenched, and in its dazed eyes, a sharp gleam suddenly appeared.
