Chapter 531: Chapter 531: The Sixteen-Year-Old Mother-in-Law
Watching the zombie whale splash back into the sea, Bai Xiqin was dumbfounded.
This might be the first zombie marine creature to surface and then automatically jump back into the ocean.
Once zombie marine creatures jump out of the water, they are attracted to the flesh exposed to the air and devour it like zombies.
Unless you kill them or use flesh to lure them back into the water, they rarely jump back to the sea on their own.
After the zombie whale submerged, it quickly disappeared from sight.
Beneath the deep blue sea, unseen by the naked eye, the zombie whale swam further into the depths.
It stayed still in the water, not moving, even as fish swam past it; it did not open its bloody mouth to devour them.
Suddenly, several zombies sharks with rotting bodies emerged out of nowhere.
These five or six zombie sharks frantically tore into the giant beast, swallowing the decayed flesh bite by bite.
Although as zombie marine creatures, they typically don’t eat such decayed meat, this time, not only these few zombie sharks but almost all nearby zombie marine creatures swam toward the decaying zombie whale.
Ignoring the normal fish swimming around, they chose without hesitation to devour the zombie whale.
Have you heard of whale fall?
When a whale falls, all creatures are enlivened.
The death of a whale provides abundant food for other marine creatures.
However, the massive body of the zombie whale cannot satisfy the food needs of zombie species and normal species.
They normally would settle quietly on the seabed, slowly transforming into a skeleton over a long period of time.
Because decayed meat won’t attract other fish to come and consume.
But now, whether thumb-sized zombie fish or huge zombie sharks, they all take large bites of the zombie whale’s decaying flesh.
Even though they never eat such decayed meat.
Zombie sharks, with their astonishing bite strength, easily cracked open the skull of the zombie whale, bit by bit consuming the enormous head.
The zombie whale stood motionless, allowing various creatures to consume it piece by piece.
It watched wide-eyed as the zombie marine creatures came at it with massive gaping mouths.
Even though the sharks were about to break through its skull, feasting on its brain.
Its sluggish brain seemed to realize something.
It did not resist, merely emitting a low, resonant howl.
This was its final farewell to the ocean.
On the shore.
Zhang Yiming coldly stared at the sea, only turning slowly after "seeing" the zombie whale’s skull being cracked open and its brain consumed.
When he turned around, his face displayed a warm, sunny smile, the hostility vanished instantly, replaced by endless gentleness.
"Xiao Niu, are you okay?"
Zhang Yiming directly ignored Zhang Chen and Leng Yebai beside Bai Xiqin, focusing solely on Bai Xiqin and checking her from head to toe, only relaxing after finding no wounds on her.
"I’m fine. How come you guys came to Shanghai?"
Bai Xiqin reached out to rub Fan Tangtang’s head, pinched his fair cheeks, looking slightly surprised.
Fan Tangtang obediently stood beside Bai Xiqin, letting her "demon claws" pinch his face.
Completely unaware of being the Zombie King.
Instead, an excited smile hung on his face.
Sister Xiao Fan is really powerful, can defeat Brother Zhang, wonder if he’ll get a chance to see it with his own eyes!
Every time he sees Bai Xiqin, he feels a mysterious sense of closeness.
"Staying in one place too long causes stagnation in performance."
Zhang Yiming glanced at the ruad Fan Tangtang, his gaze lingering for a moment on his fair cheeks and messy hair.
Fan Tangtang’s smile instantly froze, quietly moving his little body away from Bai Xiqin.
He does not want to be the next one to be beaten by Brother Zhang before seeing Sister Tu defeat Brother Zhang.
Bai Xiqin thought Fan Tangtang didn’t like being ruad, so she didn’t mind.
"Daughter-in-law, are you hungry? If you are, shall we go eat?"
Zhang Chen subtly blocked Bai Xiqin from Zhang Yiming’s view.
Ha, there was a stranger eyeing his daughter-in-law!
Decisively stepping in, protecting his daughter-in-law.
The real concern for Zhang Chen was the zombie clad in blue not far away.
This zombie in blue clothes did not rush towards the flesh, indicating someone was the Zombie King.
Needless to say, it had to be the man who could frighten away the zombie whale.
On one hand, not wanting his daughter-in-law taken away, on the other hand, fearing the Zombie King’s potential aggression.
It’s the first time she’s met Zhang Yiming, unaware of his character.
She doesn’t discriminate against the Zombie King, but keeps necessary vigilance.
Whatever Zhang Chen thought, Zhang Yiming did not know, but he was curious about—
"What did she call you?"
Zhang Yiming kindly looked at Bai Xiqin, his gaze flickering to Leng Yebai.
"Daughter-in-law!" Zhang Chen pointed at Leng Yebai, then at Bai Xiqin, earnestly saying, "This is my son, and this is my daughter-in-law."
Zhang Yiming: ...
Leng Yebai: ...
Bai Xiqin: ...
Leng Yebai looked up at the sky, momentarily at a loss for words.
If he says he’s not this person’s son, wouldn’t he be indirectly acknowledging being that man’s son?
He hasn’t formally accepted the Base Commander, so he can’t refute, or it becomes even more ambiguous.
Zhang Yiming’s gaze towards Leng Yebai instantly changed.
Your father really knows how to play!
"Misunderstanding." Leng Yebai dryly said two words.
"Ha ha!"
Zhang Yiming coldly laughed, expression with a hint of disdain towards Leng Yebai, then asked Zhang Chen, "How old are you?"
"I’m already sixteen years old, legally capable of bearing criminal responsibility!" Zhang Chen remained composed, feigning seriousness.
"Ha ha, Bai Yifan was sixteen last year."
Zhang Yiming’s expression became even more... indescribable.
I didn’t anticipate you being such a biological father to Leng Yebai.
Though he hasn’t met Leng Yebai’s biological father, Zhang Yiming could already imagine him.
Leng Yebai: ...
Right now, Leng Yebai felt embarrassed enough to kill the zombie whale with his toes.
He has never won in a verbal spar with Zhang Yiming.
"Don’t mind the details!" Bai Xiqin interrupted Zhang Yiming’s slightly disdainful gaze, changing the subject, "When did you all arrive here?"
"Just arrived a few days ago." Zhang Yiming replied with a bright, sunny smile, "Didn’t expect to meet you."
It’s you, not you all.
Who he wanted to see was only her.
"We also arrived a few days ago." Bai Xiqin glanced at Fan Tangtang then asked, "Did you all come?"
Surely Fan Tangtang’s parents wouldn’t leave him, so wherever Fan Tangtang goes, his parents would follow.
"Yes, we noticed something happening here, so we came over." Zhang Yiming nodded, revealing nothing.
Sensing a powerful brainwave fluctuation, Zhang Yiming and Fan Tangtang came over; Xiao Lan Zombie followed on its own.
Unexpectedly witnessed a terrifying scene as soon as they arrived.
"Wonderful! If there’s a chance, let my dad and mom meet Uncle Fan and chat." Bai Xiqin suggested.
Although Bai Dad and Bai Mom had met the Fan Family couple only a few times, they had become mutual friends who understand and care for each other. Running into friends in Shanghai surely brings many topics to discuss.
"Okay!" Zhang Yiming readily agreed with a smile.
