Chapter 804: Chapter 804: Successfully Extracting the Zombie Virus Antibody
"Whew—"
The wind outside was blowing fiercely, no snowflakes falling, but the temperature had already dropped below zero.
Near the car window, the base commander could feel the bone-chilling cold.
A few hours ago, the weather was still scorching hot.
Winter had returned in a blink of an eye.
From upstairs came the snores of the Bai Family, rising and falling, and apart from the occasional sound of someone turning over, no one got up.
The base commander sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
Could it be that he truly couldn’t integrate into the Bai Family?
Even at this time, not a single one of them is awake.
The cold wind howled, the air conditioner was still on cooling mode, and everyone continued to sleep happily.
Only he got up to switch the air conditioner to heating mode.
After a long while, the base commander came to a conclusion.
This family would really fall apart without him.
They’d all freeze into sand sculptures!
The base commander nodded to himself thoughtfully; it seems he’d have to keep striving to shamelessly live with the Bai Family in the future.
...
Morning.
Today the sun rose particularly late.
When it finally emerged, the sunlight was soft to the extreme, completely lacking the blazing presence of yesterday.
The cold air in the air was particularly bleak, winter had returned again.
In golden autumn August, it was originally the season of harvest, but with the weather this cold, the fruits were frostbitten, leaving no joy in the harvest.
The base commander dutifully went to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast.
Although he only has one arm, being a high rank superpower user, his single arm was much more agile than a normal person’s, causing no inconveniences in life.
The only regret was that when stockpiling crystal cores, one arm made it hard to scoop them up.
The Bai Family members staggered down from their upstairs sleeping area, sat hazily in chairs, and slowly stuffed food into their mouths.
"Last night was too dangerous, the air conditioner was still cooling, and the outside weather shifted from summer to winter mode."
The base commander placed a reasonably nice-looking heart-shaped fried egg into both Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai’s bowls, speaking in a very flat tone.
But there was a proud smirk on his face.
An attitude of you all can’t do without me.
With a face as cold and heartless as that, yet having such a proud expression.
Made him seem quite... shameless.
At times, the base commander’s personality was quite similar to Leng Yebai’s.
Cold on the outside, actually repressed on the inside.
"I see, no wonder it was so cold while sleeping last night. I wrapped myself tightly in the blanket and was still cold."
Bai Anhai glanced outside the window and yawned.
"The frost on the skylight dripped onto the blanket. Fortunately, I was clever and used ice to freeze the window completely, so no more water dripped."
Liu Jing said calmly.
No particularly surprised expressions appeared on the Bai Family members’ faces, seemingly they all knew about the extreme weather change last night.
The base commander couldn’t hold back and asked again, "How come none of you reacted last night, weren’t you afraid of the cold?"
The base commander suspected that even if he hadn’t switched the air conditioner to heating mode last night, no one in this family would have gotten up to turn it off.
"Couldn’t be bothered to get up."
Bai Zhengxuan shrugged.
His granddaughter and daughter-in-law both being Ice Ability users weren’t afraid of the cold, so he didn’t have to get up in the middle of the night to switch off the air conditioner.
"I’m lazy too."
Bai Anhai glanced at his wife, then gave the base commander a meaningful smile.
This single guy won’t understand, two people sleeping together is warmer than one.
Bai Yifan rubbed his eyes and grinned, "I stole Brother Leng’s blanket, wasn’t cold at all!"
Leng Yebai’s lips curved slightly, smiling but saying nothing.
He was cold too, but didn’t turn on the air conditioner.
He just ran over to Bai Xiqin’s place at night, went into the warm space with Xiao Niu.
Base commander: ...
He really was too diligent.
After eating, the base commander naturally walked towards the driver’s seat.
"Uncle Leng, leave it to me!"
Bai Yifan scurried over and plopped himself into the driver’s seat.
"Xiao Fan, go and rest! I’ll drive!" the base commander said with a smile.
Driving is rather tiring, after all, Xiao Fan is still a kid, also his son’s brother-in-law, can’t be neglected.
"Uncle Leng, wait until we’re back at the safety base before letting you drive! This time we’re really pressed for time."
Bai Yifan lightly patted the base commander’s arm in a comforting tone.
His words didn’t carry any hint of dislike for the base commander.
But the base commander could distinctly hear that Bai Yifan thought he drove too slowly!
"Driving still emphasizes safety, and I certainly don’t drive slowly, in-law..."
The base commander turned his head intending to speak to Bai Anhai, attempting to have him control Bai Yifan, as reckless driving isn’t good.
But just as he turned his head, the base commander saw that the entire Bai Family had obediently sat on the sofa, and then pulled out the seat belts from behind the sofa.
The sounds of clicking echoed, each person fastened their seat belts.
"There’s one here too, quickly come over and buckle up."
Elder Bai Zhengxuan waved to the base commander, signaling for him to sit next to him.
Meanwhile, Bai Yifan floored the gas pedal, and the bus jolted violently, then surged forward like an untamed horse.
Bang bang bang!
The bus plowed over the remains of various animals ahead, even clueless zombies were knocked away, flesh and blood splattered and stuck onto the front windshield.
Couldn’t be scraped off.
The base commander fell silent, quickly sat beside Elder Bai Zhengxuan, clicked the seat belt into place with one swift motion.
The blue-and-white bus, like a behemoth, charged down the desolate road.
Some out-of-control, scrapped cars were forcibly pushed aside, opening a path.
Unimpeded all the way, neither high rank zombies nor mutant animals had a chance to bother the bus.
Couldn’t catch up even if they tried.
One day, two days.
Finally, on the second day after leaving Ancient Kunlun Mountain, the blue-and-white bus arrived near Yunhua Safety Base.
Inside the bus, the family wore weary expressions, looking a bit under the weather.
Except Bai Yifan, with bright eyes and vibrant spirit, not at all like someone who drove a bus for two days straight.
Only Bai Yifan could turn a bus full of high rank superpower users into this mess.
Crackle crackle...
Elder Bai Zhengxuan trembled as he turned on the radio, feebly tuning into a station.
"...This is the Human Survivor Alliance, Mr. Zhong has found antibodies for the zombie virus from the Fusang Tree, and a vaccine will certainly be developed in a very short time, everyone must not give up hope..."
On the radio, the female announcer’s voice was extremely excited, with a hint of choking.
Every survivor awaited the zombie virus vaccine, the wait too long, too many people had died.
Through the radio, survivors everywhere heard this heartening news.
This day will forever be recorded in history.
"So fast!"
Elder Bai Zhengxuan was shocked upon hearing the news.
Having survived the apocalypse for over ten years, he knew very well that in more than ten years, no doctor or scientist had successfully extracted antibodies for the zombie virus.
Yet now, in just a few days after obtaining the Fusang Tree, Mr. Zhong succeeded?
It’s still the same person, the only difference being, he has the Fusang Tree given by his granddaughter.
"One could say, Xiao Niu saved all of humanity."
The base commander smiled, beaming at Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai, increasingly believing his daughter-in-law was a treasure trove.
Not only possessing a space, but the plants inside could also extract antibodies for the zombie virus!
If there was a place to apply for a patent, his daughter-in-law would undoubtedly become the richest person on earth.
