Chapter 756: I’m Afraid My Dad Will Misunderstand
"Hehe, that guy looks all high and mighty, but in reality, he’s just a fool. He didn’t even notice a Zombie King right by his side. He wouldn’t know what hit him when he’s done for!"
Cold Base Chief seemed somewhat schadenfreudic.
Ever since he encountered the Bai Family and found his own son, the Base Chief’s aloof image had vanished without a trace.
"How do you know?"
Bai Xiqin blurted out.
Very few people knew that Xiao Li was the Zombie King. He was meticulous, so the chances of anyone discovering his secret were small unless he deliberately revealed it.
"Xiao Niu, you knew he was the Zombie King too? At first, I wasn’t sure. I deliberately patted him on the shoulder and guessed it."
The Base Chief mentioned this with a slightly puzzled look on his face,
"But the strange thing is, he didn’t flinch, almost as if he wanted me to know he was a zombie. He even went along with what I was saying, and together we tricked Fang Jin into fully believing that the Zombie Emperor wasn’t here."
"Yes, he’s Zhang Yiming’s subordinate."
Bai Xiqin didn’t hide anything.
The Base Chief appeared as though he asked nothing, but he knew everything.
He knew Zhang Yiming was the Zombie Emperor and allowed him access to the safe base without exposing him.
Since he knew Xiao Li was the Zombie King, he could definitely deduce he was Zhang Yiming’s subordinate.
So, it’s better to address it directly to prevent any unintentional harm to our zombies in ignorance by either side.
"So that’s how it is, no wonder."
The Base Chief rubbed his chin, no longer too concerned.
Let the Zombie King infiltrate the Human Survivor Alliance if it infiltrates the Survivor Alliance!
Compared to Fang Jin, Zhang Yiming was more reliable.
The Base Chief had already figured out Fang Jin’s plan, which was essentially using humanity as collateral for the zombies. In a way, Fang Jin was worse than the zombies.
"Xiao Niu, if your classmate remains as friendly as this, it will be a blessing for humanity."
When the Base Chief said this, there was no personal emotion involved.
The Zombie Emperor wasn’t easy to eliminate; even if one died, another Emperor would be born.
Might as well ally rather than destroy.
If Zhang Yiming stays like this, humanity’s future wouldn’t be as difficult. At the very least, Zhang Yiming wasn’t a bloodthirsty monster.
Based on Zhang Yiming’s current behavior, he seemed friendlier than many human superpower users.
Moreover, Xiao Li’s Zombie King’s identity couldn’t be hidden in the Human Survivor Alliance for long. Since even the Base Chief could discover it, so could others in the alliance.
The Zombie King couldn’t stay permanently within the alliance. There’s no worry about the alliance being dismantled.
If the alliance couldn’t withstand this kind of test, frankly, there wasn’t a point in its existence anyway.
"Of course, he will always stay the same."
When Bai Xiqin said this, she was very certain.
Zhang Yiming had always been a warm and sunny person. Even if he became a zombie, he would never aim to exterminate humanity.
"Now that Zhang Yiming is involved, you don’t need to worry. Pack your things, we are going to Ancient Kunlun Mountain tomorrow." Leng Yebai said bluntly.
"It’s about time. Otherwise, the crystal core Captain Zhang gave us would be wasted."
The Base Chief didn’t dwell on this issue any longer and even cracked a smile.
Where they were going wasn’t important; what mattered was going on a trip with his son.
"You drive your own car and follow behind us."
Leng Yebai’s words froze the smile on the Base Chief’s face.
"I only have one arm left."
The Base Chief shook his only remaining right arm, looking bitter.
Like a distressed husky.
"There’s no room in the bus."
Leng Yebai refused with a cold face, seemingly like a husky in a high-cold moment.
Bai Xiqin watched from the side, thinking that these father and son really were alike.
Aloof, yet goofy.
"I can sleep on the sofa, won’t take up much space, and I can help with cleaning and cooking."
The Base Chief said weakly.
No matter how powerful the Base Chief appeared in front of others, or how domineering he was in front of the Zombie King, his aura diminished instantly when facing his son.
Having not raised him himself and since the son grew up on his own, his stance certainly had to be lowered a bit.
Otherwise, if the son waved him off, refusing to take care of him anymore, he would end up as a lonely, disabled elder.
"No, Uncle Bai needs to sleep on the sofa." Leng Yebai immediately rejected.
Every time he saw the empty sleeve of the Base Chief, Leng Yebai got angry.
Having acknowledged him as a son, he should have been told everything, yet he drifted alone on the sea half-dead. If it weren’t for Xiao Niu having two little beasts, this guy would have died.
"He has a place to sleep, why should he sleep on the sofa?" The Base Chief scratched his head, making a case.
"I’m going to tell Aunt Wang today that Uncle Bai secretly drank white wine at your place." Leng Yebai felt no psychological burden.
Between the father-in-law and the mother-in-law, the domestic status of the two was evident at a glance.
Base Chief: "... Don’t speak nonsense, it might delay your father-in-law having a third child."
Bai Xiqin: ...
Perhaps it’s better to let his dad sleep on the sofa after all!
A third child seems like a lot of trouble.
"A few days won’t make a difference in timing."
Leng Yebai said casually.
Leng Yebai genuinely hoped that Bai Xiqin could have another little brother or sister. That way, they wouldn’t cling to Xiao Niu every day, and he could spend more time with Xiao Niu.
"That’s your future father-in-law. A father-in-law is like a father, you can’t be so hard on your dad!"
The Base Chief shook his head, pondering where exactly things had gone wrong.
A virtuous man like himself, how did he end up with such a crafty son?
Upon hearing the Base Chief’s words, Leng Yebai pondered for a moment before seriously saying,
"Then all the more reason you should drive your car behind us; we can’t be too close."
"Why?" The Base Chief asked, perplexed.
"If we’re too close, I’m afraid my dad will misunderstand." Leng Yebai replied.
Base Chief: ...
Wow.
Little surprise that the son once given away becomes water spilled away.
If only he had known having a son was this vain, why bother!
In the midst of this father-son exchange, Water Python and Qin Yuan suddenly appeared from some corner.
"Master, we’ve found the location of that extremely powerful weapon."
Qin Yuan landed on Bai Xiqin’s shoulder, his expression a bit smug.
Reading: Quickly praise me.
"Wonderful! Qin Yuan is becoming more amazing day by day. Where’s the location?"
Bai Xiqin didn’t hold back in her praise.
"One location is in Shanghai, and the other is in S City where there are many zombies, which is actually the master’s hometown. But now, it’s become a zombie homeland! These two launch sites are under the control of the alliance people."
Water Python, seeing Qin Yuan being praised, hurriedly climbed onto Bai Xiqin’s wrist and answered eagerly.
"What?"
Bai Xiqin was stunned for a long time, unable to regain her composure.
She never expected her childhood place to have such a powerful weapon like the "Little Boy."
"We heard it with our own ears; it’s true."
Qin Yuan rolled his eyes at the Water Python who had jumped in, rubbing against Bai Xiqin’s fingers, fearing the master wouldn’t believe them.
"Alright, I understand."
Bai Xiqin put Water Python Qin Yuan back into the space, then looked up to see Leng Yebai and the Base Chief both stunned.
"To have control over two locations, no wonder they’re so confident in destroying the Zombie Emperor. It’s too dangerous; they don’t care about humanity’s survival. Now that we know the location, should we destroy it before them?"
The Base Chief’s face was heavy with seriousness.
When Zhang Gong was in charge, it was manageable, but Fang Jin was someone who truly didn’t play by the rules.
"Tonight, Xiao Leng and I can go to the location in Shanghai. It’s just that S City is too far from here..."
Bai Xiqin expressed some headache.
They were still planning to go to Ancient Kunlun Mountain tomorrow.
"Leave S City to Zhang Yiming! He can destroy it there." Leng Yebai suddenly said.
