Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Future Worries (2)
Bai Meiyue waited for the soldiers to finish checking the medical supplies that she had brought with her. Once they were done, she and the rest of the team drove past the checkpoint, which took nearly three hours.

Once they drove past the checkpoint, Bai Meiyue turned to look behind at the soldiers who were pushing the makeshift safe point even further after she and Bai Feng cleared the zombies. The roadblocks were pushed until the soldiers reached the point where the staggering zombies were lingering.

Though they didn’t push the checkpoint too far, Bai Meiyue could notice that the safe base was getting bigger and bigger.

She narrowed her eyes upon noticing the actions of the soldiers. It appeared that the person in charge had a lot of ambition.

In a few days, Bai Meiyue was certain that these soldiers would start collecting the crystal nuclei and supplies in exchange for letting survivors stay in the safe base. And if she was not wrong, then they might have already started recruiting the ability users.

Bai Meiyue sighed, looking at how things were advancing. The reason she chose this region was that there was no safe base in her past life; however, she underestimated the greed of the military and the higher-ups who were now sitting in positions that they didn’t deserve. With how things were going, she was certain that it would take at least a year at most, to build the base.

Since this base never existed in history, Bai Meiyue had no idea what would happen to it in the future. However, even if she had no idea who the commander of this base was, Bai Meiyue was determined to leave. She had no intention of staying in the safe base, as she knew what would happen to her if she stayed.

Now that she recalled the past, she could remember the leader of her base. The base where she stayed in her past life was in the north of the city, and the person in charge was Ji Lizheng. He was a thirty-five-year-old man and could control snakes. He was not only ruthless but also merciless and cruel.

If she had to compare him with someone else, she would compare Ji Lizheng with Dacheng. Only a thousand times worse than that.

And that wasn’t all.

Ji Lizheng also had a partner. If she was not wrong, that woman was called Yu Miaomiao. That woman was a researcher and a crazy scientist; she awakened the ability to use scraps and build something out of them within seconds. There was only one time that Bai Meiyue faced off with that woman, and that too was due to Bai Xue.

And she had to admit that the woman’s skills were no joke. Bai Meiyue could never forget the beating she received from the multiple mechanical arms that Yu Miaomiao carried on her back. Though she won in the end, Bai Meiyue would rather not get in another fight with that woman ever again.

Because from what she heard, that woman was even more obsessed with Lei Qian. If Lu Yin was a nightmare, then Yu Miaomiao was the king of nightmares. Bai Meiyue didn’t know Lei Qian back then, but she did know that he soon rose to the position of the King of Apocalypse with his ability and team.

Due to this, many women wanted and desired him. Yu Miaomiao was one of those women, and cursed her luck that she was one of the perverted ones.

Anyway, Ji Lizheng and Yu Miaomiao were indeed a terrifying duo. A duo that Bai Meiyue didn’t like or couldn’t get along with.

When they established a base, they recruited a number of ability users under the pretext that they would give them and their families monetary benefits, take care of their families, and give them supplies and rations, including a house that would be full of all kinds of facilities. This welfare policy naturally attracted a lot of families, including Bai Qingshi and Chu Xia, who signed her up without asking anything from her.

Because she was pushed under the wings of Ji Lizheng, she had no choice but to join his team, which he called Super 10. This team consisted of ten ability users, and all of them were second- or third-level ability users, which strengthened the North City base.

And it not only strengthened the base, but it also created a reputation for them, which made other bases wary of them.

They only had one task, and that was to deal with the zombies. Just like how Bai Feng did earlier, they had to break free through the swarm of zombies while the normal soldiers backed them. But in truth, they only went with the supernatural being to collect the supplies and to make sure that they were not stolen.

Once this team was formed, Ji Lizheng indeed fulfilled all of his promises. He gave monetary benefits as well as the medical care that he promised to the ability users. But what they didn’t know was that it was just the start. Ji Lizheng started using another tactic to hook the ability users.

He started a mission board. On it, he displayed all kinds of missions, and underneath them, he would note down all kinds of benefits that he was going to hand them if they fulfilled the mission. The higher the risks, the greater the benefits were. But those who were not facing the risks only saw the benefits. Bai Xue, who wanted to live the same comfortable life that she had once lived before the apocalypse, was the first to bring all kinds of risky missions for her and Bai Feng.

The picture that Ji Lizheng painted was really good, but no one saw the hideous reality behind it.

Only those who went on the S and Z rank missions knew what kind of trouble they had to face to return alive.

Bai Qingshi often told her that she was lucky enough to get such an opportunity, but only Bai Meiyue and the rest of the ability users knew what kind of bad luck they had to face such infinite dangers.
