Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Looking for more supplies
“Son, I think we need to pick some clothes for you today,” Jiang Haidai remarked while looking at the little boy. “Your old clothes have gotten much smaller than before. I think we need to throw them out.”

“Then can I get the lucky duckling?” Meng Guo tentatively asked. His black grape eyes stared at Jiang Haidai with a pleading look and yet the little boy didn’t say anything.

It took a while for Jiang Haidai to understand what her son was saying to her. She blinked her eyes and slowly recalled the little lucky duckling that he was talking about and the second she recalled it, her eyes turned red.

When Meng Guo was young, he was not as bold and cheeky as he was now. Instead, he grew up as a scaredy cat. However, there was this one time when he asked his father for a little duck suit. Mister Meng not only beat him up and called him a little mute but even told him that he was not worth wasting that kind of money.

Ever since then, Meng Guo grew even more troubled and scared.

He never dared to put forth his request in front of her or his father.

Now that her son had finally walked out of the shadow of his past, Jiang Haidai was so happy that she crouched down and hugged the little boy. She patted him on the back and said to him, “Don’t worry, mom will get you all the duck suits that you want.”

Since she was determined to get what her son wanted, Jiang Haidai didn’t waste any time and brought her son to the RV that Bai Meiyue had brought from the Murong courtyard.

Zhou Hongbei and Shen Zhen also came. However, Shen Zhen’s mind was still locked on Tong Huan. Unlike Jiang Haidai, who more or less grew up in front of her, Shen Zhen had never seen her other younger sisters. Thus, she didn’t have any clear idea whether Tong Huan was her sister or not. However, something about Tong Huan felt really familiar and Shen Zhen couldn’t help but worry about her.

She turned to look at Bai Jixuan and asked, “How is Miss Tong now?”

“I have no idea,” Bai Jixuan was also worried about the young woman but he had no idea how to talk to her. The two of them could be considered single and the last time he ran into Madam Fang, the latter sneered at him and told him that he was a shameless man who was eating from the bowl and yet looking at the pot.

Bai Jixuan was a thin-skinned man to begin with. Thus, when he was scolded by his ex-mother-in-law, he decided to stay away from Tong Huan. It was one thing that he was scolded but an unmarried woman was scolded because of him—how could he let such a thing happen?

Thus, he started to keep his distance from Tong Huan.

“I only know that she has locked herself in the room and is not talking to anyone.”

Mother Bai did try to make that woman speak but Tong Huan didn’t say anything and simply listened to her. Bai Jixuan had no idea how Tong Huan was at the moment.

He did ask Bai Meiyue to talk with Tong Huan; after all, he thought that Bai Meiyue could make her see things more clearly but Bai Meiyue refused. She told him that this was clearly related to Tong Huan’s own psychological forbearance.

She told him that unless Tong Huan was willing to come out of the shadow of her past, there was nothing that they could do.

This fight was not their own but Tong Huan’s.

When Shen Zhen heard Bai Jixuan’s explanation, she pursed her lips. Even though she knew that what Bai Meiyue said was indeed right, she couldn’t help but worry about Tong Huan.

She hoped that everything was fine with that girl.

“I think we need to look for some baby clothes as well,” Doctor Cui said to the rest of the nurses as he noted down the things that they needed to find. Though there were a lot of things that they needed, they could only collect one thing at a time. For the time being, they needed some swaddling clothes for the babies who are growing up.

If not, then he was worried that they would end up catching a fever.

Thus, more than six cars drove out of the building at the same time.

However, just as they arrived at the entrance of the garage, they found many survivors guarding the entrance like door guards. But this time around, no one caused trouble for them as they already knew about Bai Meiyue’s crazy actions. If they dared to stop her, then this woman might freeze them to death here.

The weather was so cold already; how could they allow such a thing?

What was more, there were zombies all over the streets, which made things quite troublesome.

So with no one stopping them, Bai Meiyue closed her eyes and started to exchange the antiques that she had collected from the houses of the rich people for points.

Just as Bai Meiyue’s convoy drove out of the parking lot, Bai Feng came downstairs. He looked harassed and troubled as he led his team to the cars, which belonged to them.

However, just as he arrived in front of the car, he saw an eye-catching bunch of RVs driving out of the parking lot. Bai Feng knew immediately that the RVs must belong to Bai Meiyue and her team. His expression became quite thoughtful when he saw the vehicles rolling out of the lot one after the other.

“Brother Bai,” the guard standing at the parking lot turned all smiles when he saw that the next person driving out of the parking lot was Bai Feng. “Good morning, are you going out to hunt for supplies?” The man was extremely solicitous while dealing with Bai Feng. And why wouldn’t he? This man was his saviour.
