Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: The system can be upgraded?

After speaking, Bai Meiyue ended the call and blocked Bai Feng. Though she had given up on Bai Qingshi, Bai Feng, this fool, grew up with the mentality of serving and protecting his elders and being filial to them. In her last life, he died protecting Bai Xue and Bai Qingshi even when they pushed him forward and used him as a human shield.

A man like that, Bai Meiyue, didn’t think that he could be shaken.

She thought about killing Chu Xia, Bai Qinshi, Bai Xue, and that bastard Su Hu, but it would be too merciful for them to die like this.

How could she not have them experience the fear of the apocalypse?

Madness flashed in Bai Meiyue’s eyes.

At the same time at the prison,

When Chu Xia found out that Bai Meiyue had refused to take back her complaint and even blocked Bai Feng, she was so angry that she couldn’t help but yell at Bai Feng, “Trash! I knew that we couldn’t count on you for anything.”

“Why didn’t you listen to me and threaten that bitch? If you had, then we would be out of this place by now!”

“Enough! Who are you making so much noise for?” An officer banged his baton on the bars and glared at Chu Xia. “Sit back for me or else!”

Chu Xia shrank her neck in fear. She dared to yell and scold Bai Feng because she knew that the man wouldn’t dare to fight back after all; he had been brainwashed by her and her husband to the point where he wouldn’t dare to say east if she was to say west.

But the officer was different and held no kindness towards her; if she dared to cause trouble, then he might really beat her up.

Bai Xue looked at her mother, who had stopped screaming and rolled her eyes in disgust at the same time she glared at Bai Feng darkly. She didn’t think that this brother of hers was this useless; however, she still smiled and coaxed Bai Feng, “Brother, don’t take Mother’s words to heart. She only said such harsh words because she is not in the right state of her mind.”

There was nothing else that she could do at the moment. Bai Feng was their only hope and if they offended him too, then how would they get out of the prison?

Bai Xue didn’t want to stay in the prison anymore!

..

The next morning,

Bai Meiyue looked at the newly installed electric door and nodded in satisfaction.

When the worker saw her, he smiled at her and said, “Miss Bai, we took your request to use a high-voltage power supply, which will act as not only a protective layer against anyone who tries to break in but also deter those with evil intentions. And in case someone does succeed in breaking the door, it will release a current strong enough to injure a person.”

“I have already installed the master remote inside for both the doors; you can control them as you like.”

“There is also an additional measure,” said the worker as he tapped on the iron door, which was right in front of the mesh door. “If you press the emergency button, it can also activate the barbed wire facility, which can easily scare people away.”

Bai Meiyue nodded as she thanked the worker and paid him for his service. However, as soon as she turned to walk inside, she met the inquisitive eyes of Bai Jixuan.

“Brother Jixuan, good morning,” Bai Meiyue greeted her brother, but Bai Jixuan was not paying attention to her; instead, he was looking at the door that Bai Meiyue had installed. His eyes flashed with anger and he wondered what kind of beast his sister met with when she was drugged?

To scare her to this point where she actually installed such a highly secured door in front of her house, that man was dead meat!

Bai Meiyue knew that her brother had misunderstood her but she did not clear up the misunderstanding as she knew that even if she tried to do so, her brother wouldn’t believe her.

Sure enough, Bai Jixuan relayed the matter to Yan Wanning and Bai Zhan, who were filled with another wave of anger.

The three of them finished eating their breakfast and rushed to the entertainment company, fully armed and prepared to fight to the death for the sake of providing justice to Bai Meiyue.

Bai Meiyue let them make trouble as she had received a message from Lu Ling asking her to come and meet him at the warehouse.

She took the cards that her mother and two brothers had given to her and headed out of the house. Once she arrived at the small warehouse, she saw Lu Ling standing outside the warehouse.

The man was no longer as dashing as he was the last time she saw him. His face was twisted and he was smiling at Bai Meiyue with a hint of flattery.

“M—Miss Bai.”

“Ceo Lu, how are you doing?” Bai Meiyue smiled at the man who stiffened. She could see that there was a hint of blame in his eyes but she didn’t care about it; instead she asked, “Have you already made the preparations to receive my family?”

Lu Ling’s lips twitched. and he wished he could kill the woman in front of him. “Don’t worry; I have already alerted my assistant; she will deal with the matter.”

Bai Meiyue nodded before asking directly, “What about the weapons that I asked you to purchase?”

“They are all inside.” Lu Ling was humiliated and embarrassed when he thought about how he was played by a small actress but nothing was more important than his life.

As long as he could preserve his life, he would have enough ways to make Bai Meiyue cry for mercy.

Bai Meiyue knew what the man was thinking about and sneered inwardly.

However, on the surface, she pretended not to know anything and then went inside the warehouse but then—
