Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Vigilance

Seeing Bai Meiyue’s appearance, Bai Feng breathed a sigh of relief. At least she was unharmed and didn’t seem to be sporting any injuries. As he approached her, he noticed her wary eyes and was slightly startled.

When he saw her last time, her eyes resembled a newly born fawn. Innocent and naive but after going through what Bai Qingshi and Chu Xia did to her, Bai Meiyue had become more and more hostile to him and the rest of the Bai family.

In the past, Bai Meiyue looked at him with adoration and respect but now she only had vigilance against him.

“What are you doing here?” Bai Meiyue asked while straightening her neck. “Don’t you think it’s too late for you to come out on a night walk?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Feng couldn’t help but laugh. The entire world had turned upside down and yet Bai Meiyue was still in the mood to joke with him. He rolled his eyes and an easy smile etched on his lips slowly as he asked Bai Meiyue, “Why are you here? You should be at home?”

Bai Meiyue rubbed her belly as she felt slightly nauseous. Her pregnancy could be considered better than the rest; at least, Little Cai didn’t trouble her most of the time, but when she pushed herself too much, it was only normal for her to feel sick.

Like right now.

She wanted to throw up because the scent that was wafting off from Bai Feng seemed a bit sharp, not to mention the smell of the zombies and the rotting corpses made her feel like emptying her stomach.

Seeing that she didn’t look too well, Bai Feng said to her, “Go back home and rest; I will bring what you want.” His gaze fell on the zombies that had been killed and the smell that was wafting over to them. Bai Feng understood why Bai Meiyue was not feeling well and softened his tone.

But Bai Meiyue shook her head. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Bai Feng; it was the Bai family she didn’t trust. She knew that if half of the supplies were given to her, the other half would be brought to the Bai family and she didn’t want them to have enough to eat their fill.

She wanted them to live like ghosts, where they could neither live nor die.

“I will collect my own supplies; if you want, you can help her,” she pointed at Qiu Li, who was silently standing on the side.

Upon being pointed out, she jumped a little and looked at Bai Meiyue in confusion.

“Who is she?” Bai Feng had never met with Qiu Li and frowned.

Bai Meiyue glanced at Qiu Li and remarked, “She is my friend.” There was no point in avoiding Qiu Li, someone like her—she would come in handy sooner or later. Since that was the case, Bai Meiyue didn’t mind befriending Qiu Li.

After she finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Bai Feng to speak and charged upstairs.

Seeing her leave, Bai Feng wanted to stop her. After all, Bai Meiyue was just a little girl; how could she deal with these zombies on her own? But before he could stop her, Bai Meiyue had already climbed up the stairs and Bai Feng didn’t think it was suitable for him to leave and ignore Bai Meiyue’s orders.

She had clearly left the safety of her friend in his hands; how could he leave her alone?

In the end, he turned to look at Qiu Li and said, “Come, I will drop you home and then go and look for Yueyue.”

Qiu Li was rather touched when she heard Bai Meiyue’s arrangements; after all, she knew that if she went back alone, she would be definitely attacked by the residents of the building. Now with someone dropping her home, she wouldn’t have to worry about it.

On the other side, Bai Meiyue, who reached the third floor, was like a grand robber. She swept in all the premium apparel as well as the jewellery and the precious stones that were on the fourth floor.

The moment she entered the fifth floor, Bai Meiyue realised that there were a lot of zombies and she quickly rushed out to clean them up. She raised her knife and chopped their heads like she was cutting down vegetables and wiped them clean.

Once she was done dealing with them, Bai Meiyue felt her stomach churn and covered her mouth before rushing to the nearest restroom. She threw up until she could no longer throw up and covered her nose.

She looked down and saw the blood that was sticking to her clothes and her throat coiled in disgust once again. Bai Meiyue knew that she could no longer withstand this rotten scent anymore. Thus, she immediately changed her clothes into a clean set of clothes and threw away the ones that were dirtied.

She then walked out of the restroom and retrieved an empty bottle before filling it up with water to clean her mouth.

If someone had seen Bai Meiyue using such clean water to wash her mouth, they would have cursed her until she was drowned in their spit. After all, in the apocalypse, such clean water was extremely precious. Even more so after the tsunami.

Of course, what others thought had nothing to do with Bai Meiyue. She was never going to wrong herself. In her past life, she was sucked dry until even the last of her worth was taken away from her. If she hadn’t escaped in time, she would have turned into a ghoul that was neither alive nor dead.

She was not going to treat herself shabbily in this life. After she was done collecting the supplies, she went to look for the warehouse. Of course, she did not empty the supermarket completely, as it would raise suspicions. So, she left some supplies in the aisle and headed to the warehouse, where she found more than ten zombies lurking outside.

When they sensed a human approaching, they immediately charged at Bai Meiyue.
