Although there were fewer zombies in the direction the bus was heading, quite a few still rushed towards the garden.

Bai Yifan tried not to hit the zombies, but no matter how much he dodged, a lot of black blood still splattered on the front windshield.

Even though they were a long distance from the garden now, they could still hear the roars of the zombies behind them.

Fortunately, in the eyes of that group of zombies, the bus wasn’t as important as the Flood Dragon, and not a single zombie chased after them.

They were all busy devouring the decaying flesh of the Flood Dragon.

"Why do all the zombies we encounter along the way look so hideous, unlike zombies that look like Tangtang and Brother Zhang!"

Bai Yifan watched as the zombies flew off from the impact, his face twitching.

Even after seeing so many unseemly zombies, Bai Yifan still felt it was hard to accept.

If they’re going to be zombies, can’t they at least look a bit better?

"The Zombie King doesn’t need to eat decaying flesh," Bai Xiqin said.

The body of the Zombie Flood Dragon indeed had great allure for the zombies, but its decaying flesh proved that the zombie virus inside it wasn’t as potent as that of the Zombie King.

Its strength might far surpass the Zombie King’s, but it wouldn’t make the Zombie King crave its flesh.

Just like the Water Python doesn’t need the Flood Dragon’s flesh.

"No wonder the White Dragon in the sky didn’t eat the Flood Dragon’s crystal core either. It seems the White Dragon’s level is much higher than that of the Zombie Flood Dragon, so we were able to pick up the scraps," Bai Anhai glanced at the sky, somewhat wistful.

Never thought I’d see a dragon from mythology in this lifetime, it’s truly surreal!

"Just like when we absorb ordinary crystal cores, they’re not that useful, so it doesn’t care about this one," Bai Xiqin said.

The higher the rank of a Superpower User, the higher the energy requirements from absorbed crystal cores.

The Bai Family members are mostly at the Third and Fourth Rank, absorbing ordinary crystal cores is somewhat useful, but not as efficient as absorbing high-rank crystal cores.

The higher you go, the more you need high-quality, high-rank crystal cores.

"The energy contained in ordinary crystal cores is pretty significant, isn’t it? I can never absorb it all in one go!" Bai Yifan scratched his head.

Not quite understanding Bai Xiqin’s point.

Like a struggling student never understanding the mindset of a top student.

"That’s because you’re the weakest First Rank Superpower User in our family. Once you ascend to the Fourth Rank, you’ll understand why ordinary crystal cores are useless to High Rank Superpower Users!" Bai Anhai cast a contemplative glance at Bai Yifan.

Genetically speaking, the Bai Family are all Superpower Users, with quite high ranks.

No father would admit his son is an idiot.

Seeing Bai Yifan still at the First Rank, Mr. Bai hesitated.

Could there have been a baby mix-up?

"...Actually, I’m quite powerful too."

Bai Yifan muttered, touching his nose.

He looked insignificant next to these family bigwigs.

In reality, at the safety base, he still seemed impressive.

At least on the black market, he could heroically save his future wife!

Could also show off as a formidable Superpower User in front of old classmates!

Bai Anhai looked at the mumbling Bai Yifan and silently nodded.

To a certain extent, this son of his was quite remarkable.

Just with his mouth.

Everything he said came true, no counterarguments allowed.

After the bus sped for an hour, fewer zombies charged from ahead.

"Isn’t that Uncle Wang’s truck ahead?"

Bai Yifan quickly spotted the garbage truck parked up front.

He immediately hit the brakes, stopping beside the green garbage truck.

The Bai Family looked over to the driver’s seat, finding it empty, with no sign of the two uncles.

"Uncle Zhang! Uncle Liu!"

Bai Yifan called out the window.

No one responded.

"Could they have gone out looking for food?" Bai Anhai frowned.

As soon as he said it, he realized it was unlikely, even if looking for food, they wouldn’t leave the garbage truck by the roadside.

Unless out of fuel, Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu wouldn’t leave their truck idle on the roadside.

Plus, the Bai Family had supplied Uncle Wang with a lot of gasoline, there should be no reason to leave just an empty truck.

The bus door opened, and Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai got off. For safety’s sake, Bai Xiqin had Bai Yifan close the door again.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai went to the truck door and lightly pushed; it opened.

The garbage truck’s door wasn’t locked!

The keys were casually left in the cabin, suggesting it wasn’t planned as a temporary departure.

If not for a sudden event, Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu wouldn’t leave without closing the door!

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai thoroughly examined the garbage truck, finding everything in order inside.

The crystal cores, food, and gasoline were all there.

It didn’t seem like a robbery but more that someone was after Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu themselves.

Bai Xiqin immediately thought of Wang Ge!

Could it be that father and son captured the two uncles for experiments?

Her heart skipped a beat, could they have gone to Shanghai?

If Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu were taken by them, what should they do? Where would they look?

"It was zombies."

Leng Yebai gently tugged Bai Xiqin, pointing to a faint trace of black blood in the driver’s seat.

Bai Xiqin looked over, seeing a drop of black blood beneath the dashboard.

The surface of the green garbage truck covered in black blood wasn’t unusual, Uncle Wang’s driving was so good that no zombie hit by him survived.

But the driver’s area was completely enclosed, making it impossible for zombie blood to splatter inside.

This indicated that when Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu opened the door, they were rushed at by zombies.

If they were ordinary zombies, without awareness and full of decaying flesh, they would have dirtied the cabin, not just leaving a drop of blood.

The answer was obvious, Uncle Wang and his group were definitely taken by High Rank Zombies!

And it was certainly a Zombie King, without decaying flesh all over.

"Could Uncle Wang and the others..." Bai Xiqin frowned.

Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu were good friends with their family, especially Grandpa, who often frolicked with them, having a good relationship.

If something really happened to them, the Bai Family would be deeply aggrieved.

"Don’t worry, they’ll be fine," Leng Yebai said. "There’s no blood from them here, which means they were just captured, temporarily out of harm’s way."

If something serious had befallen them, there would surely be red blood spilled. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Bai Xiqin raised her hand, a snake of pure white jade appeared.

"Master, have you found me a cute Flood Dragon little sister this time?"

The Water Python blinked at Bai Xiqin, filled with a mix of innocence and excitement.

Though not sleazy, its words made Bai Xiqin want to toss it.

It felt like her family’s fierce beast was somewhat improper.

"Find the people. Smell the scent of the two who lived in this garbage truck well."

Bai Xiqin threw the Water Python into the driver’s seat.

She should have called Qin Yuan earlier, the Water Python kept talking about Flood Dragon’s younger sisters, making her want to smack it.

"Alright, Master." The Water Python twisted on the seat, earnestly asking Bai Xiqin, "If I find them, can I be rewarded with a Flood Dragon sister as a wife?"
