"Sis, you said there was something unusual going on along the Yellow River, and that we should come over together to fight monsters and level up. Do you think... we can still win?"

Bai Yifan picked his nose, looking utterly smug.

Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?

Bai Xizhu believed that the family could improve their superpowers more quickly by going out and exploring together.

Thinking that the area around the Yellow River was a mysterious place before the apocalypse, and that with the family's strength, it shouldn't be a problem.

Unexpectedly, things went wrong.

Nature will never lose to humankind.

“We can win. I think all we need is a lure to bring it ashore so we can attack together.” Bai Xizhu’s eyes darted around slightly.

"...bait?"

Bai Yifan silently put down his nose-picking finger and took a step back.

Okay, he knows what that means.

"Hmm, we need a young, promising, handsome, charming, knowledgeable, and well-informed boy who happens to be sixteen years old to act as bait." Bai Xizhu looked at Bai Yifan with a quiet gaze.

"Ahem, I think we should just forget about it. It's not easy for her to grow up like this. Who knows if she'll turn into Bai Suzhen in the future!" Bai Yifan coughed lightly, then quietly hid behind Leng Yebai and whispered, "Brother-in-law, requesting backup."

We never refuse what our older sister says; we're family.

So we had no choice but to ask Leng Yebai for help.

The word "brother-in-law" made Leng Yebai's lips curl into a smile as his gaze met Bai Xizhu's dark eyes.

The words of comfort that were on the tip of his tongue turned into a nod.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you. You can be the bait without worry!" Leng Yebai said sincerely.

Bai Yifan: ...

I wanted to cry but couldn't.

The title "brother-in-law" doesn't really work anymore. So, what should he call Leng Yebai in order to gain some standing in the family?

Bai Xizhu smiled slightly as she looked at Bai Yifan.

Of course she knew that the giant snake in the Yellow River was not to be trifled with, and even if it was for the sake of training her family, she would not use Bai Yifan as bait.

She just wanted to tease Bai Yifan because he seemed a bit silly.

As it turns out, teasing her younger brother occasionally actually makes her happy.

"Chirp chirp—"

"Waaah—"

The two brothers, who had been silent on the side, suddenly started talking.

Its chubby four paws pointed in the direction of the Yellow River, then in the direction of Bai Xizhu and the bus, waving its hands frantically.

They all "spoke" to Bai Xizhu at the same time, chattering and gesturing wildly.

Bai Xizhu didn't understand either.

Even if they speak slowly, I still can't understand them.

However, judging from their gestures, Bai Xizhu could guess some of the clues.

The gist of it is that Bai Xizhu is not allowed to go near the Yellow River.

They were worried that the giant snake inside might be dangerous.

Both Zhu Yan and the mutated panda were extremely anxious, and seeing Bai Xizhu's bewildered expression, they were so worried they were jumping up and down.

Anyone can die, but Bai Xizhu cannot.

This sucker was very important to them, and they were very worried about Bai Xizhu's life.

Even if it means death... she has to hand over all her bamboo shoots, bananas, and peaches!

"Don't worry, I won't take any risks."

Bai Xizhu watched as the two chubby figures chattered and gestured excitedly, looking nervous about her.

I felt a little touched.

I didn't expect that even someone I've only known for a short time would be so concerned about me.

Zhu Yan and the mutated panda felt a little relieved seeing Bai Xizhu's serious expression.

"Chirp chirp..."

Zhu Yan stared with dead fish eyes and then chattered at Bai Xizhu for a long time.

The gist is: eat well, sleep well, don't take risks, and be careful. The central message is—don't die!

Unfortunately, Bai Xizhu couldn't understand any of this and could only vaguely guess what it meant.

He nodded in agreement.

She couldn't grumble back unless she nodded.

She doesn't speak that foreign language.

Zhu Yan saw that Bai Xizhu had really taken his "words" to heart, and that's when he decided to leave with his good brother.

It can't stay out for too long, lest the mentally challenged child at home starve to death.

Not only does Zhu Yan want to go back as soon as possible, but the mutated panda also wants to go back quickly.

They were also afraid that the mentally challenged child in their family would starve to death.

Under the watchful eyes of the Bai family, Zhu Yan skillfully opened the car door, lifted the mutated panda's round body, and carried it to the passenger seat.

Then, with a leap, he landed directly in the driver's seat.

Release the handbrake, step on the gas, turn the steering wheel—all in one smooth motion.

"Waaah—"

Through the car window, the mutated panda was still yelling something at Bai Xizhu.

They were all words of "concern".

Don't die! Live well, we still owe you bamboo shoots!

"Wait! Don't go yet!"

Bai Xizhu stood in front of the truck, and Zhu Yan's proud face showed some tension. Although the truck had not yet started, she had already slammed on the brakes.

They were terrified of running into their long-term meal ticket.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Zhu Yan shouted angrily at Bai Xizhu.

Can't you please take care of your own life?

What if someone dies?

How heartbroken must it be, and how much pain must its leader and his brother be?

Bai Xizhu touched her nose and didn't reply.

Anyway, I didn't understand it.

Bai Xizhu opened the fuel tank and took out a large oil drum from her spatial storage, filling the tank completely.

It seems that Zhu Yan and the mutated panda didn't know how to add gasoline.

After filling the fuel tank, Bai Xizhu left the truck.

The gang leader gave Bai Xizhu a deep look, then drove away.

Clang, clang.

The red semi-trailer truck slowly headed towards the zoo.
