Chapter 682: What’s This Zombie’s Name
"So sudden? Aren’t we staying here for a few more days?"
Bai Yifan was holding a bowl of braised pork over rice, looking surprised at Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming with a cold expression on his face.
He rarely saw Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming with such a cold and hostile demeanor, as if he wanted to destroy everything.
In his impression, Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming could be a bit cold sometimes, but he would never look at him or the Bai Family with such hostility.
Unless something made him extremely gloomy.
And this matter must be very important.
"We’re going back now."
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming kept a cold face, reached out, and picked up Chenghuang, who was lying on the side licking milk.
No hesitation whatsoever.
Bai Yifan didn’t doubt that if he didn’t leave, Brother Zhang would drag him away by his neck.
"Is this the powerful Brother Zhang?"
The Bai Yifan from this world, identical to the one beside him, looked at Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming with bright eyes, full of excitement.
As a teenager with fantasies, he thought the Brother Zhang from another world was extremely cool.
Not only Bai Yifan was looking at Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming like this; the other members of the Bai Family were also staring directly at Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming.
They were already shocked to see another world’s Bai Yifan, but it wasn’t until they saw Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming that they suddenly understood the changes that the apocalypse could bring to a person.
The Zhang Yiming from their world didn’t have a trace of hostility; he only carried a gentle and refined demeanor.
Even if this Zhang Yiming looked exactly the same as the Zhang Yiming from their world, they could still immediately distinguish the differences between them.
Just by looking at their eyes, they could quickly tell them apart.
One was gentle, the other was sharp and seemed to have experienced life’s hardships.
"Sorry to disturb you."
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s expression paused slightly, and he nodded slightly toward the Bai Family members.
To retain a bit of politeness amidst all his hostility was already considered good.
"Brother Zhang, can we finish this meal before we head back?"
Bai Yifan seemed reluctant to leave.
"Five minutes." Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming nodded almost imperceptibly and then glanced at Zhang Yiming, "Come over here for a moment."
"Okay."
Zhang Yiming was a bit dumbfounded, placed the shrimp he had just peeled into Bai Xiqin’s bowl, and then followed Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming out of the Bai Family’s house.
"Is the other world’s Brother Zhang really the Zombie Emperor? He looks so powerful, but why doesn’t he have the frenzy of zombies on TV? Why do I always feel zombies are not scary at all!"
The Bai Yifan from this world looked at the closed door, feeling slightly puzzled.
If all the zombies in the world were like Brother Zhang from another world, there was nothing to be afraid of, anyway; they just seemed a bit aloof.
"Not all zombies are like that; our Brother Zhang is the Zombie Emperor, different from ordinary zombies." Bai Yifan quickly ate his meal within the five minutes and then said mysteriously, "I have photos of zombies here. Want to take a look?"
"Yes!"
The Bai Yifan from this world nodded decisively.
He had heard that when the apocalypse was near, he was chased by zombies in his sleep, watching himself get bitten and swallowed.
The dream was intensely vivid.
He felt that he couldn’t go on like this and needed to get used to it in advance, or else he would be too weak to run upon suddenly seeing zombies.
"Quick, take them out and let me see!"
Wang Yiyun immediately said.
She wasn’t afraid at all and even stood up and took two steps toward Bai Yifan, ready to see them firsthand.
"Yeah! Why are you only showing us the photos now? We need to get used to it sooner or later; don’t worry about us getting scared."
Bai Anhai said seriously while holding his bowl, though his eyes never glanced in Bai Yifan’s direction.
Acting tough.
In reality, he was very worried.
When the apocalypse hits, he’ll be out of a job, and zombie fights won’t need a lawyer to appeal.
As a lawyer who earns money with his brain and mouth all day, wielding a knife to cut down zombies was quite reluctant.
But as the head of the family, he had to stand at the forefront.
Cowardly, yet he had to step forward righteously; Bai Anhai thought it might be better to stick it out in jail.
Ahem, anyway, he’s done a lot of unscrupulous things in recent days, and even if the apocalypse didn’t break out, the Bai Family gained many assets through Bai Anhai’s tactics.
Even if Bai Anhai got caught, the assets would still belong to the Bai Family, showcasing Mr. Bai’s tactics!
"Here!"
Bai Yifan took out his phone and pulled up the photos of Leng Yebai.
These were photos Bai Yifan took of Leng Yebai in the Zombie Village, back when Leng Yebai was still a zombie with a face full of decayed flesh.
To observe the healing progress of Leng Yebai’s decayed flesh disappearing, Bai Yifan took a picture every day.
Bai Yifan only had photos of Zombie Leng Yebai, and none of other zombies.
He was also afraid of having nightmares.
In the photo, Leng Yebai sat quietly on a chair, seemingly expressionless, with a hint of melancholy in his decayed eyes.
There was no danger posed, appearing as a gentle zombie caught in the passage of time.
"It seems... fine."
The Bai Yifan from this world looked for a while and quietly continued eating.
The image wasn’t much different from the traditional depiction of zombies in novels; even though the face looked indeed a bit scary, Bai Yifan didn’t feel any threat at all.
He looked even more docile than zombies in movies.
"I’ve decided. I’ll buy a lot of makeup tools these days." Wang Yiyun slapped her thigh, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
How could she forget about such a thing!
With so many zombies, she needed to buy many funeral kits.
Otherwise, she’d have nightmares even while sleeping!
Bai Yifan: ...
Mom is really something else.
"What’s this zombie’s name?"
Bai Xiqin stared at the screen of Bai Yifan’s phone and suddenly asked this question.
She felt the zombie in the photo gave her a very familiar feeling, and she could even feel the sadness in the rotten eye sockets of the zombie.
Emotions inexplicably surged up.
"This is..."
Before Bai Yifan could finish, the Bai Family’s door was pushed open.
"Xiao Fan, time to go!"
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming came over directly, politely nodded towards the people around, and his gaze lingered on Bai Xiqin and Zhang Yiming for a moment, during which his hostility had considerably mellowed.
Then he pulled Bai Yifan, heading outside.
Without even giving Bai Yifan a chance to say goodbye.
Bai Yifan could feel Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s urgency.
"No goodbye?"
Bai Yifan glanced back at the Bai Family, trying to say something, but he was already pulled outside the door.
Inside, Zhang Yiming smiled gently in his direction and then blocked in front of the Bai Family, stopping them from seeing them off.
"No need."
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming hesitated slightly, then said, "We have to go back now; their intervention might interfere with time and space when we leave, affecting them."
He couldn’t take the Bai Family from this world back!
"Alright then..." Bai Yifan looked reluctantly at the familiar door, sighed slightly, "How did Brother Zhang recognize me as the Bai Yifan from our world and not this world’s Bai Yifan?"
"You have a superpower."
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming replied.
"Oh."
Bai Yifan stuck out his tongue; he still wanted to sneakily scare his other-world self, letting him adapt early to the apocalypse!
Looks like he can’t even pass the first level!
