Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Father-in-Law
"No matter how skilled you are, staying inside a safety base is the safest. Our Ming City Safety Base may not be as good as Yunhua Safety Base, but it’s cheaper to get in and out, only costs one crystal core."
Skinny Monkey’s sleazy expression never left his face as he grinned at Bai Xiqin and said,
"If you come to Ming City Safety Base, I can help. After all, I hold a high position there! I’ll cover for you folks! Nobody would dare mess with them!"
"Skinny Monkey, stop talking. If you keep spouting nonsense, I won’t team up with you guys anymore."
Wang Lu’s face had turned a bit dark.
Having spent a lot of time with Skinny Monkey, he understood the kind of person he was.
But in this world now, good people are few and far between. Those messy things in the safety base, one is willing to fight, the other to suffer.
Wang Lu couldn’t say much.
But the Bai Family is powerful; you can tell they are innocent. Being slandered like this made Wang Lu feel uncomfortable too.
"Heh, do you think being immune to zombie bites makes you all that? Don’t get involved in this; if you want good food and drink, you’ll have your share. Otherwise..." Skinny Monkey looked at Wang Lu, warning him coldly, "Otherwise, you might really get bitten to death by zombies today."
This was a clear threat.
Now there’s no one to enforce any rules; there’s no explicit deterrent.
As long as you don’t openly murder inside the safety base, you are ostensibly still a good person.
If you have enemies, no need to hurry. Find a deserted place outside and kill them, just blame it on the zombies, and nobody can trace it to you!
Skinny Monkey and the others roped Wang Lu in not entirely because of his immunity to zombie bites.
Their main aim was to discover how to avoid being bitten by zombies.
If they understood why they wouldn’t get bitten by zombies, they would seem almost invincible in a zombie-infested Earth.
Yet they never found the answer.
Skinny Monkey was already impatient, and seeing such a clean girl for the first time set his heart ablaze.
He no longer wished to hold back!
Fatty wore an equally greasy expression upon hearing Skinny Monkey, clearly sharing the same thoughts.
Meanwhile, the old man and grandson duo across didn’t seem to have any inappropriate ideas, but their eyes weren’t clear either. Their gaze wasn’t on Bai Xiqin but Wang Lu.
They didn’t believe that Wang Lu had superpowers since no energy fluctuations were emanating from him. He seemed just like any other ordinary person.
An ordinary person like this who could move freely during the apocalypse without getting bitten by zombies definitely had a reason.
And they were just waiting to uncover this reason.
They had no intention of assisting Wang Lu; perhaps when pushed into a corner, he’ll slip up.
"Brother Bai, sorry about this, you guys should leave now!"
Seeing Skinny Monkey’s stubborn look, Wang Lu quickly turned away, giving Bai Anhai an awkward smile.
The Bai Family hadn’t met with him many times, yet they felt warmer than anyone else. He didn’t want to bring trouble to the Bai Family because of himself.
"Let’s go!"
Bai Anhai shot an angry look at Skinny Monkey, his voice turned cold.
Clearly, he was irritated.
The guy was merely staring with a sleazy look; Bai Anhai couldn’t just kill him on the spot.
Besides, with Wang Lu here, even if they weren’t the best of friends, they were acquaintances.
Couldn’t make things too stiff all of a sudden.
If need be, he could pay a visit to the Ming City Safety Base in a few days and stir up some trouble.
After all, with his strong superpower, nobody could truly control him.
"Hold on!"
A middle-aged fatty with an oily grin blocked Bai Anhai’s path.
To him, someone with strong superpowers wouldn’t keep such a low profile.
If they could beat him, they would’ve already started the fight; why run away?"
"What do you want?"
Bai Anhai eyed the middle-aged fatty, his previously grave expression vanished.
Great, it seemed he didn’t have to go to the Ming City Safety Base in a few days.
Revenge right here and now would be more satisfying!
"I’m saying, Father-in-law, don’t be in such a hurry to leave! Set a price, how many crystal cores as a dowry do you want to marry off your daughter to us brothers?"
The middle-aged fatty grinned shamelessly and said,
"My name’s Fan Jin, but you can call me Fatty, either’s fine by me!"
Snap snap――
As Fan Jin spoke, the sound of Zhang Yiming’s fingers snapping echoed sinisterly, his smile turning a touch eerie.
Clearly, he was angry.
Leng Yebai reached out to cover Bai Xiqin’s ears, frowning deeply.
That kind of vulgarity in Xiao Niu’s presence was truly... unforgivable.
A single "Father-in-law" had left Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai unable to suppress their irritation.
That was the title they had in mind.
How could a pigbe our unapologetic!
Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai both stepped forward, their auras full of hostility, ready to send Fatty on a trip to the afterlife at any moment.
Especially Zhang Yiming, his mind had lost its usual sharpness, consumed by the desire to tear out the voice box in front of him.
Suddely, a pair of delicate white fingers extended between him and Leng Yebai.
Bai Xiqin smiled and shook her head at them.
Let your own father handle it!
He’s probably stifled from sparring with Taowu; let him enjoy the thrill of human combat!
Seeing that smile, Zhang Yiming instinctively paused, his raging emotions gradually calming down bit by bit.
Slowly and steadily, tranquility returned.
Leng Yebai cast another glance at Fatty and paused too, but he stood even closer to Bai Xiqin, his hand returning to cover her ears.
"You probably don’t know, but I was once a righteous lawyer, and even the top lawyer in our firm didn’t earn much. It’s not that I lacked ability, but because I upheld justice."
Bai Anhai gently adjusted his clothing gracefully,
"People must act according to circumstances. Once, I should’ve been an honest lawyer, but now, in these times, being honest is awaiting death. Does that make sense to you?"
"I see, Father-in-law was a lawyer too! My reverence rose considerably!" Skinny Monkey sleazily nudged Wang Lu aside, staring intently at Bai Xiqin, "No wonder you raised such a demure daughter, she must know how to take good care of people!"
Bai Anhai politely turned towards Bai Xiqin, Leng Yebai, and Zhang Yiming,
"Please step back a bit; don’t let your clothes get dirty."
The two plus the Corpse Emperor backed away silently, obediently following the instructions.
"Hey, sweetheart, don’t run away!"
Skinny Monkey whistled as he saw Bai Xiqin retract further, and he lifted his foot, ready to chase after her.
"Ah!"
As Skinny Monkey raised his foot, the world suddenly spun around him. A violent pain engulfed his abdomen, making him airborne.
With a colossal thud.
By the time Skinny Monkey realized what had happened, his body had slammed into a tree and crashed heavily to the ground.
Blood gushed from his mouth, the crimson strewn with a few pearly white teeth.
Skinny Monkey tried to open his mouth, as if to say something, but he lacked the strength. His head lolled to the side and he passed out cold.
"You, don’t underestimate kindness!"
Fan Jin, looking at the unconscious Skinny Monkey, lost his temper.
That kick just now, Bai Anhai hadn’t used any superpower, just raw physical strength.
Skinny Monkey was light; even an average man could easily kick him flying.
Thus, Fan Jin instinctively overlooked how powerful Bai Anhai actually was.
Bai Anhai laughed coldly, his shoe rubbing against the ground, disdainful of the grime from Skinny Monkey’s body.
Mr. Bai had always been a neat freak too.
