Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Chu Xia: The Bandit Queen

Meng Suisui rushed out of the corridor with Wen Mian and Wang Ba. Director Feng stayed inside because he couldn’t do much running around at his age. Bai Meiyue, on the other hand, came to watch the show and was not in a hurry.

Meng Suisui looked at her cousin, who was panting like a fire-breathing dragon and asked, “Anzhi, what’s the matter?”

When Meng Anzhi heard Meng Suisui’s voice, she turned her head to look at her. Meng Anzhi wanted to complain but her words came to an abrupt halt when she saw the shiny layer of oil on not only Meng Suisui but also Wen Mian and Wang Ba.

What was there not to understand?

Meng Anzhi bristled like a fighting cock and said to Meng Suisui, “You are really good, Sister Suisui. My parents treated you well and I treated you and Qibao as my siblings. I never thought—I never expected that you would one day leave me to starve even though you have food. You are eating and drinking well while I am starving!”

Meng Anzhi didn’t go too far as she still wanted to leave a way out for herself.

She wanted the two siblings to protect and care for her like they did in the past.

“Pfft! Hahahaha!”

However, as soon as Meng Anzhi finished speaking, Bai Meiyue burst out into laughter. Her tinkling laugh was mocking and derisive, which made Meng Anzhi’s face burn with shame.

“What? Why are you laughing at me like that?” she questioned angrily. She never liked Bai Meiyue to begin with, and now that the woman was laughing at her, Meng Anzhi was annoyed. Of course, after seeing Bai Meiyue’s actions of ruthlessly cutting down Xiang Mei’s arm, she didn’t dare to say anything too harsh.

After all, Xiang Mei was yet to get up from the bed after having her arm almost cut off.

“If I don’t laugh, what should I do, ah?” Bai Meiyue leaned against the electric door and looked at Meng Anzhi as if she were looking at a fool. “Have you forgotten what kind of world we are living in now? Be glad that your cousins brought you here safely. With the kind of person you are and the trouble that you have caused them, I would have kicked you in the crowd of zombies if I were in their shoes.”

Meng Suisui was a smart woman. She must have taken her advice and saved some supplies, if not the majority of it—at least the dry goods. But when Meng Suisui arrived yesterday and asked for work, she told her that there was nothing in her hands.

Bai Meiyue didn’t understand what happened last night but now that she had seen Meng Anzhi, she understood what was going on. Thus, she deliberately said, “Your cousins saved you from the zombies and kept you alive. Believe me, they have already repaid all the grace that they owed to your parents.”

She said those words to make Meng Suisui and Meng Qibao straighten their spines in front of Meng Anzhi. As she didn’t want the two of them to be bullied by Meng Anzhi. She didn’t know what kind of death Meng Suisui received, but given that Meng Qibao stopped trusting others, especially women, Bai Meiyue was certain it had something to do with Meng Anzhi.

Yup. Though Meng Qibao relied on women, he never trusted them. Even when he was in his late thirties, he never thought of marrying a woman.

Sure enough, Meng Suisui, who was a bit affected by the things that Meng Anzhi said, straightened up her back. When Bai Meiyue saw this, she nodded in appreciation. Meng Suisui had the courage to become a good fighter by her side; it was just that she needed some tempering to be done.

Meng Suisui stared at Meng Anzhi, who had scolded her and stayed quiet. Currently she was relying on Bai Meiyue; every bite of food that she ate came from Bai Meiyue. But she never said a word to clear the misunderstanding.

Because Meng Suisui knew that if she were to say the truth in a hurry to clear up the misunderstanding, these survivors would cause trouble for Bai Meiyue.

However, Meng Suisui thought too much. Even if she didn’t explain it, others were not fools. They had snatched the meals and supplies of the Meng siblings and saw with their own eyes that they didn’t even have a single pack of biscuits left with them.

So how could they have a decent meal? It must be Bai Meiyue who was willing to give them a share of her supplies.

Thus, even if Meng Suisui didn’t clear the misunderstanding, these survivors would try to make a move on Bai Meiyue and her family.

Bai Meiyue, who was leaning on the door frame with her arms crossed, looked at the survivors and clicked her tongue. They all were looking at her and her family as if they had done some grave sin against them. Some were staring at her with hatred, while the others looked with coveting and greedy gazes.

At this time, Chu Xia, who had raised Bai Meiyue like a dog who would stand up and sit down when commanded, stepped forward. She looked at Bai Meiyue and placed her hands on her hips before pointing her finger at Bai Meiyue. She said, “Bai Meiyue, since your family has extra food, take it out. We will be confiscating the food and using it to help the survivors. Since we all are living in the same place, you should show some kindness and help others.”

“Don’t worry, you are not alone. Everyone’s private supplies were also confiscated.”

“Is this the same thing?” Yan Wanning’s face twitched angrily as she looked at Chu Xia with hatred and annoyance. “Chu Xia, it has been so many years but you are still as shameless as before. Do you think your measly packs of snacks could even come close to a single pack of frozen meat? What’s more, you and these survivors are living here without a proper permit! My daughter bought this house. Who do you think you are to command our family?”

“If you are refugees, then live like them!”
