Chapter 755: Friends Who Can Ram Zombies Together
Breakfast doesn’t include dumplings filled with pork and scallions.
Bai Yifan thought this old man must be someone important, especially since he came with a ticket from his sister, so he couldn’t be neglected.
After introducing Uncle Li to the family, Bai Yifan got busy.
Old man Bai Zhengxuan and Uncles Wang and Liu also loved dumplings filled with pork and scallions, so for efficiency’s sake, Bai Yifan would wrap a bunch and store them in the freezer whenever he had time.
Boiling water to cook dumplings was no trouble at all.
Uncle Li sat properly on the sofa, quietly observing everything inside the bus.
Last time, he was too busy eating to take a good look, but now, upon careful inspection, Uncle Li, a solitary old man, instantly felt a very cozy family atmosphere.
Uncle Li glanced at Bai Zhengxuan, his eyes showing a hint of envy.
Surrounded by children and grandchildren, what good fortune.
"Old Bai, what are we having for breakfast today?"
Uncle Li had just settled in when another hearty voice came from outside.
This time, it was Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu.
"Uncle, we’re having dumplings today; they’re cooking now."
Bai Yifan poked his head out, glad for his quick thinking to prepare a big pot of dumplings.
"Good, good, good."
Uncle Wang said "good" three times in a row, quickly crawling into the bus with Uncle Liu.
At a glance, they saw the old man sitting on the sofa.
With just one look, all these old men broke into hearty smiles.
Perhaps because they all had similar personalities and were all big shots in their own right.
They could tell right away that they’d get along.
They looked like the kind of buddies who could go out smashing zombies together!
"Old Wang, Old Liu, this is Old Li, a friend Xiao Fan and Xiao Niu met on their outing."
With a cheerful smile, Bai Zhengxuan served the breakfast and boiled dumplings onto the table, while also welcoming Old Wang and Old Liu.
Uncles Wang and Liu were not shy at all; once the Bai Family had settled down, they began eating voraciously.
The Bai Family’s cooking was so delicious, they couldn’t stop.
At first, Uncle Li was more reserved, but in the end, he too dropped the pretense and gobbled up the dumplings quickly.
Delicious!
"Today, I want to go out for a bit with Old Wang and the others."
Bai Zhengxuan put on a smile and asked Liu Jing for the freedom to go out today.
They were going to Ancient Kunlun Mountain tomorrow, and who knows when they’d be able to joyously bash zombies together again, so today they’d go wild.
Uncle Wang mentioned that because of the hot weather, zombies in Shanghai had become increasingly active.
Crashing into them would definitely be exciting!
"Sure! Go if you want to!"
Liu Jing rolled her eyes at Bai Zhengxuan, not stopping him.
Having already died once, how could he still be so childish?
She remembered how this old man used to loathe zombies, and now he found joy in bashing them!
The saying "Men remain boys until death" wasn’t wrong at all.
Liu Jing nodded, and Bai Zhengxuan was instantly elated. After they wolfed down breakfast, the uncles, clutching their stomachs, headed out.
"Old Li, since you’re new, you should be the co-driver today! Old Bai, you’re not that obviously overweight, so sit between me and Old Li. Old Liu, you can sit on the roof!"
Uncle Wang quickly assigned everyone their spots.
"What?"
Uncle Li, ready to head back, didn’t catch on immediately.
He had just come for a meal; when did he agree to go out and play?
"We’re going to gather resources! What else?"
Bai Zhengxuan shook his head and pulled Uncle Li onto the garbage truck.
He didn’t give Uncle Li a chance to refuse.
By the time Uncle Li realized it, he was already seated in the co-driver’s spot.
The vehicle sank as Uncle Liu also settled on the roof.
Uncle Li: ...
"Bai Zhengxuan, come back early today; it’s your turn to clean, so don’t always have Xiao Leng do it for you!"
Liu Jing shouted at the green garbage truck.
"Sure thing!"
Bai Zhengxuan quickly responded, then gave Uncle Wang a frantic look.
Without even glancing at Bai Zhengxuan, Uncle Wang’s instincts acted faster than Bai Zhengxuan’s signal.
He floored the gas pedal, and the green garbage truck roared as it sped off in one direction.
"Why so fast? Like mice seeing a cat."
Uncle Li shook his head slightly, noticing the cautious, fearful expressions on Bai Zhengxuan and Uncle Wang’s faces.
These old dudes were exaggerating a bit.
"Mate, don’t blame me for not warning you. Walk around that big sister we just saw in the future, or you’ll be in trouble!"
Uncle Wang didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
The scariest thing in the world is women, and as for the one from the Bai Family, she’s something else...An old lady completely dominating three old men.
Sitting on the roof, Uncle Liu nodded in agreement.
Uncle Li: ...
These old guys are nuts!
He might not get along with them.
That feeling of hitting it off just now was probably a mistake.
Better find an excuse to leave later; he was just here for a free meal!
Ten minutes later...
"Wow! Old Wang, your driving skills are impressive!"
"Whoa! Did that zombie just fly that high?"
"Hey! Over a hundred zombies are chasing us. Look, there’s even a Third Rank zombie!"
"Its running posture is really ugly!"
...
Amidst the banging and crashing, Uncle Li’s meridians were opened by Uncles Wang, Liu, and Bai.
His calm eyes turned excited, and he gestured animatedly.
His mouth never stopped moving.
In that instant, he fell in love with the thrill of gathering resources — even though they hadn’t collected a cent’s worth of supplies.
Inside the bus.
As soon as Bai Zhengxuan and the old men left, the bus turned quiet.
Bai Anhai and his wife, along with Liu Jing, went to practice their Superpowers in the space.
Bai Yifan lay on the sofa, munching on sunflower seeds while watching cartoons.
The time without adults on the bus was very enjoyable, and Bai Yifan didn’t want to waste it; he was as lazy as could be.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai went to the Base Commander’s office.
The Base Commander’s office was on the top floor of the base building, and the entire top floor belonged to the Base Commander. It was very quiet.
"Knock, knock!"
Bai Xiqin knocked twice on the door.
With a creak, the door quickly opened.
As soon as it opened, Bai Xiqin saw Xiao Li’s gentle smiling face.
Xiao Li gave a barely noticeable nod to Bai Xiqin, then stepped aside as Fang Jin came out from inside.
Fang Jin gave the two a slight glance without exchanging pleasantries, straightening his back as he walked past them.
The usually aloof Base Commander had a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, indicating he was in a pretty good mood.
"Xiao Niu, son, what brings you here? Come on in."
Seeing his son and daughter-in-law at the door, the Base Commander’s smile widened even more, then he pulled them into the office.
"What were they here for?"
Bai Xiqin was slightly curious.
Fang Jin seemed to wear a serious expression, as if he was in a bad mood.
"They made a misjudgment and didn’t find any trace of the Corpse Emperor. The Alliance has a lot to deal with, and they can’t be delayed for long so they’re leaving for the Alliance today."
The Base Commander poured a cup of water and placed it in front of Bai Xiqin.
The weather was warming up, and the Base Commander was still wearing long sleeves. His left sleeve hung empty, but it didn’t affect his overall aura.
Cool and formidable as ever, it seemed losing an arm meant nothing to him.
"So, that’s how it is."
Bai Xiqin’s eyes flickered as he thought of Zombie King Xiao Li.
With him around, Fang Jin would probably never find any trace of Zhang Yiming.
However, the location of that thing still hadn’t been confirmed.
