"Mom and Dad, I'm telling the truth."
Bai Xiqin placed her hands on Bai Anhai and Wang Yiyun's shoulders, and with just a thought, the three of them were in the space.
Bai Yifan looked at the empty sofa and decisively stood up to place the feather duster far away.
Inside the space, Bai Anhai and Wang Yiyun stared blankly at their surroundings, taking quite some time to recover their composure.
"Mom and Dad, the apocalypse is really coming." Bai Xiqin controlled a chocolate bar to float in the air inside the space, "I'm a Control Ability user, and once the apocalypse breaks out, humans will awaken various superpowers."
"So zombies are real too?" Wang Yiyun widened her eyes.
As a Funeral Master, she neither believes in ghosts nor holds reverence for the heavens and earth.
Wang Yiyun has a firm belief in materialism, she dares to calmly change garments for horribly disfigured bodies and apply beautiful makeup to them at midnight.
Now you're telling her there will be zombies in the future?
Wang Yiyun's first reaction is, it's time to make a fortune!
And Bai Anhai's first thought was, it's over, he's going to be unemployed.
Bai Xiqin looked at the bright-eyed Wang Yiyun and felt something was a bit off.
"Mom and Dad, we have three months until the apocalypse, and during this time we need to stock up on supplies and weapons for self-protection." Bai Xiqin said sincerely.
Wang Yiyun's eyes were still shining, "If I apply makeup to those zombies, would their families pay?"
This seems like a good way to make money!
"Definitely not!" Bai Anhai waved, sighed helplessly, "I'll definitely be out of work, there's no legal remedy for zombie fights!"
Bai Xiqin: …
"Daughter, did you dream that our whole family was dead? How did we die?" Wang Yiyun looked at Bai Xiqin.
"Bitten to death by zombies!" Bai Xiqin said.
Wang Yiyun paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up and laughed, "Looks like I can't do zombie makeup anymore, don't want to be bitten!"
Bai Anhai saw Bai Xiqin's spirits drop a bit and pretended to be calm, "Don't worry, I'm the head of the household! Daughter, I must have been brave at that time, right?"
"You were the first to get bitten to death!" Bai Xiqin said weakly.
Bai Anhai: !!!
"Who turned into that zombie?" Bai Anhai put his hands on his waist and said furiously, "If I run into them, they will definitely end up in jail forever!"
"They were good people before turning into zombies, how could they end up in jail?" Bai Xiqin retorted.
"Ha!" Bai Anhai sneered, "You think my title as a top lawyer comes for free?"
Bai Xiqin: …
Looking at Bai Anhai's sinister appearance, Bai Xiqin thought it's a good thing the apocalypse is coming, otherwise her dad would end up in prison soon!
Bai Anhai and Wang Yiyun wandered around the space again before Bai Xiqin brought them out.
Seeing the three come out of the space, Bai Yifan hurriedly asked, "Mom and Dad, do you believe now?"
Wang Yiyun nodded gravely, "I really can't believe it!"
"Can't believe the apocalypse, right?" Bai Yifan's face was also a bit solemn, "I can't believe it either."
"I can't believe how much I'll be worried in the future!" Wang Yiyun sighed, "This damned occupational habit!"
Whenever she sees a gruesome corpse, her hands itch, always wanting to make them look beautiful.
If the apocalypse happens, and the world is full of zombies, it would drive her crazy!
Bai Yifan: …
"Sigh!" Bai Anhai sighed, "Only three months left, better earn more money now! President Leng from Wangyang Company has several lawsuits to handle, just a chance to earn more!"
The CEO of Wangyang Company is a young man, constantly targeted by rival companies trying to steal secrets or lure employees.
President Leng is no ordinary person, never merciful, and seeks legal help whenever secret theft is discovered.
Bai Anhai is the law firm's top lawyer, charges the highest fees, and President Leng isn't shy about spending money, always seeking him.
To be honest, small cases can be handed by regular lawyers, but President Leng dislikes trouble and always seeks Bai Anhai.
Over time, they became somewhat acquainted.
Truth be told, President Leng is too young, Bai Anhai and he have little in common.
However, Bai Anhai doesn't see his cases as simple due to his generous spending.
In short, as long as there's payment, it's fine.
"Shouldn't we buy some weapons for self-defense?" Wang Yiyun frowned at Bai Anhai.
"It's a warning for up to three years' imprisonment." Bai Anhai said instinctively.
Occupational habit!
No cure!
Whenever someone mentions a crime, Bai Anhai immediately knows how long they'd be imprisoned.
Wang Yiyun calmly waved her hand, "It's alright, we have a great lawyer at home!"
Bai Anhai: "… Indeed!"
Bai Xiqin held her forehead, "Even if we have a lawyer, it won't work! We can't buy them, nor afford them! Right now, our priority should be stockpiling supplies."
As for weapons, Bai Xiqin has thought it through: ordering customized steel needles, as a rare Control Ability and Ice Ability user, she can launch Ice Needles with Xiao White.
The steel needle's surface can be covered with frost, capable of piercing a zombie's head.
"Supplies…" Bai Anhai thought for a moment, "Sudden bulk purchases will draw attention, let's buy under the guise of opening a supermarket."
"This is a great idea!" Wang Yiyun looked at her phone, checking her bank balance, "We have fifty thousand in savings, and the house is worth about a hundred thousand, should be enough, right?"
"Not enough!" Bai Xiqin shook her head, "We need to buy a bus and convert it into a motorhome, preferably getting a solar generator, and the space needs a proper setup."
"Why buy a bus when we have space?" Wang Yiyun was puzzled.
"We can't stay in the space forever, if found out, we might end up dissected!" Bai Xiqin said.
Staying in the space won't improve superpowers; falling behind invites trouble, better to keep up with the times.
"Xiao Niu is right! The priority now is quickly raising money and stockpiling supplies." Bai Anhai took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Dad, whom are you calling?" Bai Yifan curiously peeked at Bai Anhai's phone screen.
"A big spender!" Bai Anhai whispered.
"Lawyer Bai, anything I can help with?"
A slightly chilly male voice came from the phone.
Bai Xiqin subconsciously frowned, finding the voice familiar.
"Ahem… President Leng, the cases you mentioned the other day have mostly been dealt with, I hear you have more?" Bai Anhai grinned toward the phone.
"Yes, there are a few, I'll have my assistant contact you tomorrow." President Leng said on the other end of the phone.
"Great!" Bai Anhai raised his eyebrows at Bai Xiqin, then hung up.
Just earned more.
"Mom, the apocalypse is coming soon, can I apply to skip school?" Bai Yifan looked at Wang Yiyun eagerly.
Wang Yiyun rolled her eyes, "No way!"
"If the apocalypse breaks out during class, I won't be able to escape!" Bai Yifan pouted.
Wang Yiyun was silent for a while, then decisively took out her phone to call Bai Yifan's homeroom teacher.
"Hello, is this Teacher Wang?" Wang Yiyun said calmly, "My Bai Yifan has been unwell recently, may he take a few days off? No major illness! Just a minor one! Only three months!"
Bai Xiqin: …
For the first time, she felt her family can be quite swift and resolute sometimes.
