Chapter 826: Zoo Boss Captured

"Mom, have you considered Dad’s feelings?"

Bai Yifan glanced at Liu Jing, expecting Grandma to be angry. Unexpectedly, Grandma nodded knowingly.

Even Grandma thinks it’s feasible!

Is this a collective divorce?

Bai Yifan silently thought, even if Dad and Grandpa were kicked out, he’d still be with Mom and Grandma.

―― Mainly because it’s comforting.

"You can’t talk like that. A person shouldn’t hang from just one tree."

Liu Jing glanced at Bai Zhengxuan, who was slightly chubby and lying on the sofa with his eyes closed for a nap, shaking her head with a tut.

Bai Zhengxuan: ...

Dazed and in a half-asleep state, he seemed to have overheard something serious.

His position in the family was unstable.

Bai Zhengxuan rubbed his eyes, sleepily headed towards the direction of the second floor.

Not listening anymore. It’s too unlucky to hear, and he can’t argue against it.

Sometimes a man needs to stand up. Now, he needs to keep quiet and will reason with his wife once she calms down.

For now, it’s best to slip away.

Save himself from angering his wife further and getting a beating...

Years of marriage taught Bai Zhengxuan well, confident he wouldn’t be kicked out.

Otherwise, no one would face his wife’s wrath!

Liu Jing and Wang Yiyun grew more excited, already mentally scripting several TV show plots.

The domineering CEO fell in love with me...

Bai Yifan and Bai Xiqin exchanged glances, seeing determination in each other’s eyes.

When that time comes, they’ll follow Mom and Grandma!

...

The next day.

"Bang bang bang!"

Zhang Ping with disheveled long hair gently knocked on the car door.

Bai Family had just finished breakfast at this time; the aroma of the food in the bus still lingered.

"Here to see me?"

Bai Xiqin pretended to be surprised.

Every move Zhang Ping made was under Water Python’s surveillance. Her visit was tied to a mission Wang Ge assigned.

It was time to open the door.

"Mm, I hope it’s not a bad time; you... just finished eating?"

Zhang Ping’s throat moved, her eyes on the table inside the car.

The rich aroma triggered saliva production, and her stomach growled.

She was still human, needed food.

For her, obtaining Crystal Cores wasn’t hard, but using them to buy food was.

Having a Crystal Core doesn’t guarantee quality food.

The rich aroma inside the bus was like ordinary home-cooked meals before; now it’s an extravagant feast.

"Just finished, you’re quite unlucky. If you came a bit earlier, you could have joined us for the meal."

Bai Xiqin purposefully said, eyes fixed on Zhang Ping’s temple.

Since training brain waves with Xiao Lan Zombie, she gained slight sensitivity to this mechanical wave emission.

The essence of brain waves is quite similar.

Whether Zhang Ping or Wang Ge, they were human yet could command zombies with brain waves akin to Zombie King’s frequency.

And Bai Xiqin happened to grasp some of it too.

Closer to Zhang Ping, she sensed chaotic brain waves.

The signal was too messy to obtain desired information.

"No need, I already ate just now."

Zhang Ping smiled politely, withholding the fact that she’s hungry.

Perhaps it’s a touch of vanity.

"As long as you ate, so, what did you come to see me for? Come in and have some tea!"

Bai Xiqin grabbed Zhang Ping’s arm, capturing chaotic brain waves instantly.

Still couldn’t decipher the meaning.

"Okay."

Zhang Ping didn’t refuse, stepping onto the bus eagerly; a chance to learn about the Bai Family.

Wang Ge needed these details to create a perfect specimen.

Bai Xiqin’s hand casually rested on Zhang Ping’s arm, the brain waves she sensed became more regular.

Through careful sensing, Bai Xiqin discovered Zhang Ping was transmitting the bus interior’s scenes outside via brain waves!

Bai Xiqin didn’t panic; the bus mostly stored supermarket-collected resources, fresh fruit taken as needed, not stored outside.

Bai Xiqin acted oblivious, serving Zhang Ping tea.

The water, boiled with regular mineral water, contained no Spiritual Spring Water.

"Why did you come to see me? You haven’t answered me yet?"

Bai Xiqin noticed Zhang Ping lingered on a photo from her middle school days, blocked her view, and asked.

"Do you know what this is?"

Zhang Ping took out a paper-wrapped item from her pocket, unwrapping a few strands of animal hair inside.

Only two colors, black and white.

The soft hair looked familiar.

It’s the Mutated Panda from the zoo.

"What’s this? I don’t know."

Bai Xiqin’s pupils slightly shrank, quickly regaining composure.

She knew if the research institute caught the Mutated Panda, they’d exploit its mutated body to extract data.

Wouldn’t let it die, but wouldn’t let it live comfortably either.

With human-equivalent intelligence, capture would bring it suffering, depression.

"Found this on the way to the safety base, thinking it’s a powerful mutant animal. Could this be dog hair? Shall we catch it for a feast?"

Zhang Ping’s story was illogical.

Bai Xiqin knew Zhang Ping was lying.

Zhang Ping knew Bai Xiqin saw through her lie.

Originally intending slow persuasion, but Wang Ge was impatient.

Zombie virus antidote pills were arriving at various safety bases, soon reaching Yunhua Safety Base.

If everyone consumed the pills, it’d hinder True God Research Institute’s studies.

Research would have to wait until the pill’s effects wore off.

"Okay, I’ll go with Xiao Leng."

Bai Xiqin glanced at Leng Yebai, seeing him nod, she agreed.

Honestly, Zhang Ping pulling out Mutated Panda hairs surprised Bai Xiqin; it was rushing progress.

Today’s expected show was martyrdom and sympathy-begging antics.

Seems Zhang Ping’s temple brain waves were tricky; Water Python couldn’t sense them.

"Sis, should I come along?"

Bai Yifan, not seeing what Zhang Ping showed, felt it was important.

Otherwise, Sis wouldn’t react urgently.

Family had planned not to rush dealing with malicious characters, but Sis seemed to ignore that plan.

"Stay and guard the house! Enhance your superpower; if you haven’t reached Second Rank Crystal Core when I return, I’ll break your legs."

Bai Yifan: ...

Bai Xiqin left with Leng Yebai after a word.

She noticed Bai Yifan was about to break through so joked; wouldn’t actually break his legs.
