Chapter 704: Parents Who Spoil Their Child?
The three people gliding toward the safety base suddenly changed direction, speeding wildly in a certain direction.
Even with the ice layer formed by Bai Xiqin blocking the wind and frost, at this speed, Bai Yifan could still feel the cold wind frantically pouring in from a direction.
The speed was really too fast.
The scenery on both sides was retreating in a frenzy.
"Sis, why are we suddenly going so fast?"
Bai Yifan silently grabbed Leng Yebai’s sleeve, shivering.
This speed was faster than a hooligan street racing. If they hit an unfortunate zombie, they’d be done for.
Let alone looking ahead to identify the location, just one glance was enough to make Bai Yifan feel dizzy.
"We’re going to rescue our parents."
Bai Xiqin’s tone was extremely fast, she didn’t even have time to look at Bai Yifan, the energy at her fingertips surged to the extreme, and the Control and Ice abilities were pushed to the limit.
A small energy storm erupted at Bai Xiqin’s fingertips, Bai Yifan could even hear the crackling sound.
"Huh? How do you know something happened to our parents?"
Bai Yifan looked puzzled.
Sis has been with him the whole time, and given the current situation they can’t even make a call. Why does she look like something really happened to Dad and Mom?
This doesn’t make sense at all!
"I suggest you shut up now, and don’t talk nonsense when we arrive, or you’ll easily get beaten up."
Leng Yebai said faintly, reaching out to steady the unstable Bai Yifan.
Bai Yifan: ???
He didn’t understand what Brother Leng was talking about, but Brother Leng usually doesn’t joke with him.
Since Brother Leng said so, Bai Yifan didn’t dare to ask more, afraid of getting beaten up.
He could only watch nervously as the scenery around flew by in reverse.
Bai Xiqin knew roughly the location of the mutant cattle herd, just outside the suburbs of Shanghai, where there used to be large tracts of farmland and villages.
It wasn’t just a simple village, it was more like an agritourism spot.
Many households raised cattle and sheep, not for farming, but to attract business.
There were also some who raised cattle for farming, but this was rare.
After all, farming only yields a few thousand pounds of grain, and the price of grain isn’t worth much, it’s better to earn money from agritourism attractions.
The three of them were like a cannonball on the white ice layer.
The zombies under the ice had just smelled the scent of flesh, but before they could pounce up, they were blocked by the suddenly appearing ice layer above.
Two hours later, Bai Xiqin and the others caught up with the team from Yunhua Safety Base.
They had come so fast that the team just reached the location where the mutant cattle herd was active, and hadn’t found their tracks yet.
From a distance, the superpower users from the safety base saw three people sliding exaggeratedly on the snow.
The speed of these three, compared to the team’s advance speed, was like a rocket to a bicycle.
So slow.
Everyone was amazed by the Ice Ability User who created the ice layer.
The speed at which the ice layer solidified seemed much faster than the Fourth Rank Ice Ability User in the team.
But the person in front of them was clearly just a beautiful little girl, she really didn’t look formidable.
Many people’s gazes lingered on Bai Xiqin’s face for a moment, it had been a while since anyone had seen such a clean and beautiful beauty.
Everyone also noticed Leng Yebai standing next to the little girl.
That was the Base Commander’s son.
Instantly, they lost any other thoughts.
They didn’t even dare to look too much.
"Xiao Niu? How did you guys get here?"
The Base Commander had the sharpest eyes, as soon as he saw the three, he jumped off the truck and walked towards them.
The whole team also stopped.
There were several trucks, each with more than a dozen people, all formidable superpower users.
Sitting next to the driver of the foremost truck was an Ice and Wind Ability User, clearing the snow and zombies ahead.
With the Base Commander’s presence, the journey was relatively safe.
"My brother missed our parents, cried and demanded to come, so I brought him along."
Bai Xiqin pointed at Bai Yifan expressionlessly, her face seemingly serious.
She couldn’t possibly say it was because Bai Yifan "cursed" their parents, so she came to prepare for the rescue, right?
The appearance of Bai Xiqin and the others caught the attention of the team, and the ears of superpower users are quite sharp. They clearly heard their reasons.
Everyone’s gazes instantly fell on Bai Yifan, filled with surprise, disdain... all sorts of expressions combined.
This boy seemed a bit lacking in the brains department.
It looked like Bai Yifan could dig through the sole of his shoe with his toes.
His sis was too unscrupulous, painting him as some unsheltered little kid!
"Do you have urgent business? Your parents are also on the truck, I’ll go call them."
The Base Commander twitched his face slightly in an imperceptible way, but still prepared to go call the Bai Family cooperatively.
Actually, Bai Anhai and Wang Yiyun had already seen Bai Xiqin and the others, and were about to get off and meet them.
Hearing the reason Bai Xiqin gave, they quietly sat back in place.
Pretending not to know this already sixteen or seventeen-year-old big baby Bai Yifan.
It was a little embarrassing.
As long as they didn’t come forward, no one would know who this big baby’s parents were.
The couple not only didn’t step forward but also silently hid further back.
"Uncle Leng, no need, let’s go on the mission together!"
Bai Xiqin smiled as she pulled Bai Yifan towards one of the trucks.
"Be careful later."
Leng Yebai followed Bai Xiqin’s steps, heading towards another truck, and as he brushed past the Base Commander, he softly uttered these words.
The Base Commander was slightly stunned.
The only remaining finger on his hand slightly tightened, and the smile on his face gradually broadened.
The feeling of being cared for by family, it was truly wonderful.
"Set off!"
The Base Commander sat back in the first truck, his cold, stern voice echoing in the icy snow.
The trucks slowly advanced once more.
Bai Xiqin and the others also boarded the truck, sitting right next to the Bai Family couple.
"Mom, Dad, are you guys alright?"
Bai Yifan leaned his head as he spoke to the two.
The other superpower users on the truck silently watched the family in front of them, their expressions rather intriguing.
It turned out this couple spoiled their child so much even in the apocalypse, huh!
"Ahem, Xiao Fan, we haven’t set off yet, what could possibly be wrong?" Bai Anhai coughed lightly, then whispered to Bai Yifan, "Let’s play a game now—you ignore me, and I’ll ignore you too."
After saying this, Bai Anhai immediately put on a stern face, standing aside with Wang Yiyun.
They pretended as though they had nothing to do with Bai Yifan.
Bai Yifan: ...
He suspected that, as long as he ignored his parents, they could keep pretending not to know him.
Bai Yifan shook his head and silently took two steps towards Bai Xiqin.
Sure enough, sis gave him a sense of security.
Who would have thought, when Bai Xiqin felt Bai Yifan move closer, she reacted quicker than their parents.
Just as Bai Yifan moved, both Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai seamlessly shifted towards a corner.
They were perfectly in sync.
Apparently, they too wanted to play the "you ignore me, I ignore you" game with Bai Yifan.
Bai Yifan: ???
Bai Yifan silently unhooked the bronze dagger strapped to his leg. At this moment, only the cold dagger could give him a sliver of warmth.
Fingers playing with the dagger out of boredom, his eyes silently searching for someone like-minded around him.
Suddenly, Bai Yifan’s eyes widened, a seemingly innocent smile appeared on his face, but the corners of his mouth were already curling mischievously.
"Sister Song, are you joining the mission too?"
