Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback

Chapter 609: 331 Hypocrite

Although Bai Zhengli had attended the social gathering before, few people noticed that he had become younger. After all, in the apocalypse, everyone was busy dealing with zombies outside and solving problems concerning civilian life inside the base. Unless they were from the same faction, it was normal not to see each other for several days. Unless the change was very blatant, it simply went unnoticed.

Superpower users naturally looked healthier and younger than ordinary people. Everyone at the social gathering had cleaned up nicely, which wasn’t the usual look, so Bai Zhengli’s change wasn’t very obvious. Besides, Bai Ye had taught him to control the energy fluctuations in his body, allowing him to continue masquerading as a second-level superpower user; naturally, no one else discovered his change.

However, at this moment, there were only four people in the room, and Bai Zhengyi, who often saw Bai Zhengli and was very familiar with his situation, paid close attention and naturally realized something was amiss.

Bai Zhengyi was shocked, and Bai Yi, sitting opposite Bai Ye, was equally so. He looked at Bai Zhengli incredulously. Upon looking, he also noticed that Bai Zhengli looked younger than he did yesterday!

So, like Bai Zhengyi, Bai Yi also guessed whether Bai Zhengli had advanced in rank. This speculation shocked them both. The two of them were third-level superpower users, but that was because they controlled a large amount of resources and had plenty of Crystal Cores for cultivation. But Bai Zhengli was different—his Crystal Cores were all earned through missions, how many could he have? Nonetheless, Bai Zhengli had still cultivated to the peak of level 2, just stalled at breaking through to the next level.

This made Bai Zhengyi unable to help but feel jealous. He often criticized Bai Yi for not being as good as Bai Ye, but wasn’t it because he himself was also outperformed by Bai Zhengli? If it weren’t for the fact that he had his own methods and Bai Zhengli wasn’t too keen on power, it’s hard to say what state the Bai Family would be in at this moment!

Yet he never expected, despite his own lesser ability, to see his decent son getting outclassed by Bai Zhengli’s son! How could his heart be willing to accept that?

After the apocalypse, Bai Ye had not returned for a long time. Although he verbally reassured Bai Zhengli by saying it must be all right, deep down, he had thought viciously—it would be good if Bai Ye just died out there.

But he wasn’t as foolish as Bai Yi; even though he had such thoughts, he also knew that with Bai Ye’s abilities, the chances of dying out there were frankly slim. Sure enough, after only two months, Bai Ye returned to Beishi Base.

Upon Bai Ye’s return, he felt uneasy. In Bai Ye’s absence, he and Bai Yi had already become third-level superpower users, successfully outshining Bai Zhengli and also firmly suppressing him, preventing him from having any power to challenge him.

When Bai Ye had just returned, his superpower level was tested at the entrance. Not long after the results came out, he learned of it. At that time, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that Bai Yi couldn’t compare to Bai Ye, how could he, a father, feel at ease? Now, at last, Bai Yi had progressed farther than Bai Ye, which made him inwardly rejoice.

However, what Bai Zhengyi hadn’t expected was that right after that, news came that Bai Ye had wiped out half of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps, even killing the leader, Poison Wolf! That was when Bai Zhengyi felt that something was wrong. Who would have thought that Bai Zhengli, who had always been unable to advance to Level 3, suddenly did so, looking years younger! He had outdone him again!

Bai Zhengyi felt bitter inside. How exactly did Bai Zhengli suddenly advance in rank? Could it be because Bai Ye had returned, happy? What concerned him more was, now that Bai Zhengli had become a third-level superpower user, what change would this bring to the Bai Family?

If Bai Zhengli had no ambition, then his advancement would naturally be a good thing for the Bai Family. But if he suddenly became ambitious, it would be unfavorable for him and Bai Yi.

Bai Zhengyi thought a lot in his mind, but his face did not show a trace of it; he just stared intently at Bai Zhengli, waiting for his answer.

Bai Zhengli indeed had advanced. He had been at the peak of Level 2 and didn’t understand why, but he was unable to advance. However, after taking the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit, his body expelled a large amount of impurities. The bottleneck that had always been blocking his progress quietly disappeared, allowing him to easily advance to Superpower Level 3.

Normally, this would be a good thing, but they had already decided to leave, so revealing his true strength was unwise. Moreover, Fang Yuxin had just inspected him a moment ago; in the eyes of the vigilant, it was very likely that suspicion would fall on Fang Yuxin.
