Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Asking for mercy
When Meng Suisui and the rest heard her answer, they heaved a sigh of relief. They were not afraid of hard work; instead, what they feared was there would be no work for them to do.

Bai Meiyue looked at the small group in front of her and was quite impressed. Compared to Xiang Mei and the rest, Meng Suisui and these people were much smarter. Instead of relying on others, they wanted to rely on themselves from the start.

This was a smart move. After all, relying on others would create a feeling and habit of dependence, which would only lead to trouble in the future. But if they earned and took risks for supplies from the start, then these people could survive for a long time.

At least they would be able to find supplies in any situation. The only exception was —

She turned to look at Meng Qibao, who was still young and yet to become the Meng Qibao of the future, where he depended on women to survive. Though she didn’t have much hope and wanted to avoid trouble, Bai Meiyue still wanted to give Meng Qibao a chance to change his fate.

“Yueyue.”

Bai Meiyue turned around and found Bai Feng standing behind him. She raised a brow and walked over to Bai Feng who was standing not far from where she was standing.

“What is it?”

“What do these people want from you?” Bai Feng tipped his chin at Meng Suisui and the rest. His eyes flashed with murderous intent when he saw the small group. Bai Feng had a very good memory and even though there were a lot of survivors, he still remembered these people.

Clearly, they came here with Xiang Mei and the rest, yet they came looking for Bai Meiyue. He thought that these people didn’t find any supplies in his penthouse and came here to beg Bai Meiyue for some.

Bai Meiyue glanced at Meng Suisui and the others before explaining, “They asked me to give them a job in exchange for supplies and I agreed. There are indeed some jobs that they can do so I don’t think that there is any reason for me to refuse.”

There were indeed some odd jobs, such as turning the soil in the greenhouse and fixing the solar panels. She could leave these tasks in the hands of these people such that the job would be done sooner.

Bai Feng nodded when he heard Bai Meiyue’s response; as long as these people did not cause trouble for Bai Meiyue, he was not going to find trouble with them either.

He looked a little relieved because the last thing that he wanted was for these survivors to harass Bai Meiyue as well. He didn’t care if he was bothered by them but he couldn’t allow Bai Meiyue to deal with his mess. After a short pause, he asked, “I am heading out; do you want to come with me?”

“What? Were the supplies all eaten up in an hour? Dear me, if this goes on, you will die filling up the hole that your dear sister has dug for you.” Bai Meiyue snickered with a hint of sarcasm on her face.

Bai Feng clenched his fist and he lowered his head without saying anything. Though he knew that Bai Meiyue no longer got along with the Bai family, he felt upset over the fact that she was treating him with the same hostility as others.

He did nothing to provoke Bai Meiyue.

He sighed and rubbed his forehead, feeling rather troubled. He couldn’t let go of Bai Meiyue, as he had protected her from the day she came to the Bai house, and neither could he abandon the Bai family, as he was raised to protect and care for them.

“Yueyue, do you really have to be so harsh on me?”

Bai Meiyue shrugged her shoulders indifferently. “I am not being harsh; I was just pointing out the truth to you. You feel upset because you know I am right. Anyway, I cannot come with you. I need to arrange a few things at home and because of what happened last night, I don’t dare to leave my mother alone. What if those people come to look for trouble again?”

Bai Feng nodded in understanding. He said to Bai Meiyue, “Then I will take my leave.”

However, he only took two steps before pausing and turning to look at Bai Meiyue, who arched a brow.

“What?”

“Yueyue… When I return Dad and the rest, they will be fine, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Meiyue blinked her eyes and burst out laughing. She wondered why this man had come looking for her; so this was the reason. But it seemed like he was worried that if he was to leave, Bai Meiyue would rush out and kill the Bai family.

And he was right.

Bai Meiyue did have the plan to kill them once she heard that Bai Feng was leaving.

Who would have thought that Bai Feng, despite pretending that everything was fine, actually saw things much more thoroughly than Bai Qingshi?

When he saw that Bai Meiyue was not speaking, Bai Feng panicked and said to her, “Yueyue, I know that you are angry and disappointed with the things that our father has done but he has been very kind to me. Even when my mother went to blackmail him and threatened him, he took me in and gave me everything that my mother didn’t. He gave me a name, stopped others from calling me a bastard and put a halt to the bullying I had to face as a child.”

“I know that he was never a father to you but he was one to me. So before you raise your hand on him, can you think of me? I don’t want the two of us to become enemies, Yueyue.”

Bai Meiyue’s jaw moved and she clenched her teeth with hatred. She looked at Bai Feng and questioned, “Do you really want it to be like this?”
