Lurking rats

When Mother Bai didn't answer, Bai Meiyue sighed and sat next to her. She took her mother's hand and clasped it tightly. "There is no need for you to worry about becoming a burden, mom. You have done your best by raising us, so it's okay for you to take it easy sometimes. What's the point of having three supernatural beings if you cannot live a comfortable life?" 

Seeing her mother feeling a bit relieved, Bai Meiyue understood that it wasn't that she wanted to awaken and go out and fight the zombies; her mother was just worried about becoming a burden on her and her brothers. 

She smiled at her mother and said, "Mom, why don't you study about how to awaken? Though the world is ending now, there were some researchers who studied the consequences and the changes. I will send you some theories that they came up with. You can read these theories and come up with your own way to find your skills and powers."
