Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 235

Chapter 235: Ways to survive
Meng Qibao also chased after the zombies with a long axe in his hands. As he chopped down the head of the zombie that was about to attack him, he turned around and looked at his sister, who didn’t look alright.

“Sister Suisui, you should go back and take some more rest,” said Meng Qibao as he looked at his sister worriedly. “I think you have caught a fever.” He paused before asking, “Are you really alright? You are not hiding something from me, right?”

From yesterday, he kept having this nagging feeling that there was something wrong with Meng Suisui but every time he asked her if she was doing alright or not, Meng Suisui would smile and tell him that everything was okay.

Yesterday he believed her because Meng Suisui indeed didn’t look that sick but now he couldn’t help but wonder if his sister was lying to him.

“I am fine,” Meng Suisui stiffened when she heard her brother’s question. She was worried that he would notice something so she gave him a breezy smile and said to him, “It’s my first time coming out after the apocalypse; I am not used to the scent of rotten blood and the sounds of skulls cracking.”

Her excuse sounded valid and Meng Qibao stopped questioning her before turning to collect more crystal nuclei.

Meng Suisui, who was smiling a second ago, turned sombre when she looked down at her wrist, which was scratched by the teeth of the zombies. Even though she was quite relieved as she didn’t wake up as a zombie in the morning, Meng Suisui couldn’t let go of her worries.

Though she didn’t turn into a zombie, her fever didn’t drop either. If anything, it was still rising. It made Meng Suisui wonder if there was something wrong with her.

At first she wanted to believe that she would be fine but that was until she heard Bai Meiyue say that the zombies had started to mutate and were now evolving to higher-ranking zombies. Don’t tell her that she was about to turn into one as well.

“Sister Suisui, is something wrong?”

When she was lost in her thoughts, Mo He came to stand next to her; he looked at her pale complexion and asked concernedly, “Are you not feeling alright? If so, you should rest a bit more.”

Meng Suisui shook her head and replied, “I am fine. Just feeling a bit woozy.”

“I see, you are not used to killing zombies, is that it?” Mo He asked, and when Meng Suisui nodded, his smile widened and he said to her, “Sister Suisui, you should try to collect the nuclei and absorb them. When you start getting stronger, these zombies will start resembling chickens and ducks to you.”

“Like we kill chicken to fill our stomachs and strengthen our bodies, the nuclei of these zombies are the same.”

“Nuclei?” Meng Suisui’s eyes lit up, that’s right. She could use the crystal nuclei that she had collected to strengthen her body. In the past few days, she had been thinking of how to absorb the crystal nuclei but she couldn’t think of a way.

She turned to look at Mo He, who was chewing on the crystal nuclei after cleaning them and pursed her lips. Suppressing the nausea, she said to Mo He, “Thank you, Brother He.”

After speaking, she turned around on her feet and ran back inside the house. Maybe she would try to absorb the energy of the crystal nuclei by eating them!

Though Meng Suisui was disgusted with the idea of swallowing these crystal nuclei, when she thought about her survival, she was willing to do anything!

Lu Yin watched Meng Suisui run inside the house and narrowed her eyes. However, she turned around on her feet and rushed out of the house while chasing after Lei Qian. Only when she proved herself would she be able to join the hunting team in the future. Only after killing the zombies would she be able to show everyone in the team that she was not weak and useless. Thus she had no time to worry about Meng Suisui!

Especially when she was about to be kicked out of the team by Lei Qian.

On the other side, Bai Meiyue grabbed a zombie who was about to attack Lei Yan from behind and threw it down before chopping his head off. The horde of zombies were cleaned up by them and this one was one of the last ones remaining.

She straightened up after collecting the nuclei and turned to look at the rest of the team.

She was waiting for them to clean up the last of the remaining zombies and if they couldn’t do it, then she would deal with them. Fortunately, it didn’t take long for them to bring down the rest of the zombies.

Bai Meiyue saw that they were more or less wrapping up; she turned around and went back to the farm house.

It was still early, and the sky had not turned bright yet. Bai Meiyue wanted to rest a bit more before going out. Zombies were prone to slowing down once the sun was up; it was a better time to hunt for crystal nuclei as it gave them an advantage over these man-eating monsters.

But of course, this would only go on at the start of the apocalypse. In a few months, the zombies would get stronger and would no longer be troubled by the sunlight.

As she stepped inside the house, she saw Meng Suisui grinding the crystal nuclei and mixing them in her water bottle. She didn’t look at Bai Meiyue as she was busy swallowing the water mixed with the crystal nuclei.

When Bai Meiyue saw her actions, she was speechless. She was wondering whether to teach Meng Suisui her trick to absorb the crystal nuclei when the door of the kitchen opened again and Lu Yin came inside staggering.

The girl paused when she saw Bai Meiyue and narrowed her eyes in distaste.
