Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 209

Chapter 209: Lei Qian’s jealousy
Meng Suisui was really worried. She didn’t want to turn into zombies; thus, she drank a lot of water that Bai Meiyue gave her. According to Bai Meiyue, the water produced by the supernatural beings had many special properties. One such property was to help strengthen the body and process the doomsday virus.

She also told her that the water had anti-inflammatory properties and could purify the virus to some degree. As a result, Meng Suisui drank more than half of the water that she brought from home.

However, even after drinking so much water, Meng Suisui could still notice the rise in her temperature. It seemed like her fever was getting worse. She was very disturbed and was worrying about whether she would be able to survive till tomorrow. However, even though she was scared, she was still trying to act normal.

But just because she was acting normal didn’t mean that her mental state was not worsening. So how could she have the time to deal with Dacheng?

“Is that so?” Dacheng narrowed his eyes when he heard Meng Suisui’s response. However, he didn’t give up. He believed that someone must have noticed something different about Bai Meiyue. After all, she was even more skilled than Lei Qian; Dacheng refused to believe that no one was even remotely tempted.

He had to investigate a little more.

As Dacheng walked away, Meng Qibao walked over. He looked at his sister and questioned, “What did he say to you?” The two of them were not close with Dacheng; if anything, this was their first time meeting with one another. Why would he go out of his way and help Meng Suisui for no reason?

“He was asking me if I knew how Sister Meiyue got this strong.” Meng Suisui didn’t want to hide the truth and told her brother everything. As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Qibao’s expression changed.

He glanced at Dacheng and snorted, “I knew that there was something wrong with him.” He then turned to look at his sister and said to her, “You should stay away from him; he doesn’t seem like a good guy and I can tell he is a bit petty and arrogant.” If Dacheng was honest, he would have shown Bai Meiyue sincerity and asked her to teach him, but instead of doing that, he was acting smart and poking around trying to find chinks in Bai Meiyue’s armour.

Such a man could never be a good person.

“I know.”

On the other side, Bai Meiyue finished collecting the crystal nuclei. However, just as she walked past the street, she saw Lei Qian following her silently. She glanced at the man and then increased her pace but just as she started running, she noticed Lei Qian speeding up as well.

Seeing this, she rolled her eyes and turned to look at the man before asking, “Why are you following me?”

“I am not following you,” Lei Qian refused at once. It seemed like he was determined to act as a hooligan and follow her.

Hearing his response, Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes and continued walking ahead of him. She killed the zombies and focused her attention to collect the crystal nuclei while ignoring the man behind her.

But when Lei Qian continued to chase after her, Bai Meiyue couldn’t ignore him. She paused and turned to look at the man who was standing behind her and questioned, “What are you doing? Didn’t I tell you that I don’t want to see you?”

“You said that you didn’t want to see me when Lu Yin was with me; look, I didn’t bring her.” Lei Qian pointed his thumb behind him.

Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes at the shameless man.

“Oh, very clever, very smart.” She snorted before turning her back on him; her long ponytail hit the man in the face as the woman walked away.

Lei Qian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Bai Meiyue didn’t chase him away. He rushed after her and asked, “By the way, I never asked. This person—the one who you are looking for—is a good friend of yours?”

Bai Meiyue paused and turned to look at the man behind her again. She narrowed her eyes and questioned, “How do you know that I am searching for someone?”

She was sure that she didn’t tell anyone that she was looking for someone at the hospital. How did this man notice it?

“It’s quite easy.” Lei Qian’s tone was sour. He said to her, “You have the same anxiety as Director Feng and you seem to be in a hurry to go to the City Hospital. I know that you are not cold hearted but you will not put your life on the line for someone you have never met.”

Though Lei Qian’s deduction was more or less correct, it was also a bit offending.

Bai Meiyue quickly snatched another crystal nuclei before saying, “Well, you are right. There is indeed someone whom I want to save.”

As soon as Lei Qian heard her confirmation, small blazes started to burn in his eyes. What was this? That good for nothing, Su Hu was finally kicked to one side by Bai Meiyue but now someone else popped up.

He gritted his teeth and remarked, “Oh, it seems like that person is really important to you?”

“You can say that.”

Shen Zhen was indeed quite important to her. Without Shen Zhen and her skills, she would never be able to give birth to Bai Cai. Because not only was she very young, Bai Meiyue never received any good or nutritional food. There was also that bastard Jiang Zeming who asked her to starve herself to keep her figure maintained.

Even if she was eating and drinking well for the past few weeks, Bai Meiyue knew that this much would never be enough to make up for the malnutrition and starvation that she went through as a child and teen.

She needed Shen Zhen’s help to make sure that she would be able to safely give birth to Bai Cai. The last time, she passed out twice because of the labour pain; if not for Shen Zhen, she would have never been able to give birth.

Thus, Shen Zhen’s presence was important!
