Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 223

Chapter 223: Not a child
“Alright, are you going to throw up until your stomach comes out?” Lei Qian handed Bai Meiyue a bottle of water and said to her, “You didn’t eat the patties, so why is your reaction so strong?”

Upon hearing his question, Bai Meiyue felt a bit nervous. But she simply drank a few gulps of water, swooshed them around to clean the sour taste in her mouth and replied, “How can it not be strong? Have you forgotten how bad the smell of those rats was? What’s more, they were undead. Eating the meat patties made from the flesh of those rats is equivalent to eating rotten flesh.”

“It’s really too much for me to bear.”

After she finished speaking, she drank and washed her mouth once more before throwing the empty water bottle to one side. She turned to look at Mo He, who was in the same condition as her and said to Lei Qian, “You need to control your team better. Tonight he was lucky that the meat patties were not laced with something. If not, he would be in big trouble.”

In her past life, many supernatural beings fell to stupid tricks like these. Some survivors would definitely leave food laced with poison after finding out that the cores of ability users could be absorbed just like crystal nuclei.

Thus, many of the unawakened tried all kinds of unscrupulous means to get their hands on the cores of the ability users. This information was released by the group of evil researchers and the big bosses of the bases.

They targeted the ability users who refused to work under them and even put them on the hit list. As long as a person succeeded in killing them, those people promised to not only help the killer in infusing the core of the ability user but they also gave them a lot of supplies.

Fortunately, this information was yet to be leaked out by that organisation or else there was a very high possibility that Mo He was poisoned.

This was also the reason why Bai Meiyue warned Lei Qian. Though she had no plans to stay with this man, he was still Xiao Cai’s father; if she could, she would help him.

“I will talk to him and the rest of the team.” Lei Qian agreed with what Bai Meiyue said; though food supplies were scarce, they couldn’t just eat and drink without first taking a look at what was used.

Bai Meiyue nodded when she heard Lei Qian’s response and turned to look at her brothers, who were staring at her with a complicated look in their eyes.

Sigh. This was why she didn’t want to wake them up.

Mo He! This man not only ruined her mood but also her plan.

“Brother Zhan? Brother Jixuan? What’s the matter?” Bai Meiyue asked with a sweet smile, and her two brothers caught her wrists before pulling her away from Lei Qian.

Bai Meiyue: “…”

“Yueyue,” Bai Jixuan started whispering as soon as Bai Meiyue was pulled into a corner by him. “Why are you with him at such an hour?”

The two brothers went to sleep thinking that their sister was not going to wake up till the morning. As a result? She not only woke up but was going on a cosy endeavour with that dog.

Bai Meiyue was speechless when she heard her brother. She blinked her eyes and shrugged before saying to her brothers, “I wanted to catch two cows.”

“What are you catching the cows for?” Bai Jixuan was speechless. He looked at his sister and raised his hand to take a look at her temperature. With his hand placed on her forehead, he questioned, “You don’t look like you are sick.”

“I am not sick!” Just because she wanted to catch two mutated cows doesn’t make her sick!

Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes and said to her brother, “They are like normal cows except that they eat meat.”

“You have a very twisted concept of normal; do you know that, dear sister?”

Bai Meiyue curled her lips. She remarked, “The world is already like this, brother; are you still hoping for the usual normal? If anything, I am the normal one now, while you are the one with unusual thinking.”

Hearing her words, Bai Jixuan was speechless, but he had to admit that his sister was right. Her train of thought was indeed normal in the current circumstances.

He pursed his lips before stammering, “Alright, but why are you with him?” Bai Jixuan pointed at Lei Qian, who stood at a distance from the three siblings. He didn’t come too close to eavesdropping on their conversation, but he wasn’t that far either, just in case Bai Meiyue needed his help.

“You should ask this question from him,” Bai Meiyue slowly said as she turned around on her feet and walked over to the small opening in the vine wall. Though she didn’t show any signs of anger or annoyance, there was an unquestionable firmness in her voice.

“Yueyue!” Bai Jixuan was dumbstruck when he saw her walk away. He wanted to talk to Bai Meiyue, but his sister made it clear that she didn’t want to continue the current topic. He had no choice but to turn around and chase after Lei Qian, who was following Bai Meiyue.

“And where do you think you are going?”

Lei Qian blinked his eyes and looked at Bai Jixuan with a polite smile on his lips. He said to Bai Jixuan, “Brother Jixuan, is something the matter?”

“I know what you are doing,” Bai Jixuan hissed angrily. He hated it when Lei Qian called him brother but the more he tried to stop him, the more Lei Qian called him brother. Now, he had more or less stopped asking Lei Qian not to call him brother. “I know what your thoughts and intentions are towards my sister, and I am telling you that I don’t appreciate them. You better not touch my sister, Master Lei.”

Lei Qian’s smile was purely taunting. He remarked, “Your sister is not a child, Brother Jixuan. She can make the decision for herself.”
