Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Kidnapping morally

“If these people were honest, then I wouldn’t have come running to warn you but it seems like the refugees and the residents seem to have realised that there is something wrong. Thus, they actually beat up the residents of the fourth floor, who kindly took them in and even stole their supplies.”

“Everyone is being frugal these days but those people actually stole the supplies that others saved by cutting off their meals and water!”

When she thought of how those people actually beat up a woman who lived alone and even snatched the food that she had stocked up, she became indignant and complained, “That’s not all; the property manager actually said that it was the victims who were being too petty. Everyone has suffered; thus, they need to be openhearted and let them eat their fill.”

Bai Meiyue arched her brow when she heard Lei Yan complain. She wasn’t surprised by the actions of Manager Ni; when she moved in, she had, of course, heard all about his fame. He was the kind of man who distributed dry rations to the beggars who lived outside the property and even urged others to do the same.

Before the rain started, he even agreed with Zhao Yulan and asked others to drop others off. As if to guide by example, he did what he preached. But the thing was, Manager Ni only did it for a few days and then dumped the responsibility on other’s heads.

But the one who got praised was obviously him.

Just this morning, after a few refugees rushed in, he actually brought them to the empty storehouse that was located on the third floor. Obviously, it dissatisfied a few people, as this building was a posh residential place. They have paid a lot of money to live in a place like this, so how could others live there for free?

However, even after Manager Ni was scolded, he did not show any signs of dissatisfaction. Instead he lowered his head and apologised for causing trouble.

Manager Ni was the kind of man who had the charisma of a holy father and liked to force others to do the same thing.

Bai Meiyue thought about it a little before taking out the small gun that she had brought for herself and handing it to Lei Yan. With Lei Qian unconscious, these people had no one to protect them.

She said to the little lady, “You go back home and lock the door. I know that you have dual security doors but the other one wouldn’t be able to stop these people if they were bent on breaking through. Bolt the door with something and make sure that no one opens the door, no matter what and how the other person pleads.”

“Unless you want to die of starvation, make sure to be ruthless to others instead of yourself.”

Bai Meiyue had heard about Lu Yin, the little sister who was obviously picked by Lu Yu. If she was not wrong, Lu Yin’s personality resonated with Manager Ni, as Bai Meiyue had heard her echo and agree with Manager Ni a lot of time in the group.

One could defend outsiders but what if there was a thief right inside the house?

Lei Yan’s expression darkened when she heard Bai Meiyue’s words. Not because she was offended by what Bai Meiyue said but because she was truly annoyed by Lu Yin. If that girl was not Lu Yu’s sister, she would have kicked her out of the house.

That girl was too much trouble!

“I understand, sister Meiyue!” Lei Yan turned around on his feet and rushed back to the penthouse.

Bai Meiyue was right.

If she let those people break into the house, then her family would be in danger.

In such a short while, the little lady of the Lei family grew by leaps and bounds!

“What happened? Who was it?” Yan Wanning walked over and asked.

“Miss Lei,” Bai Meiyue coolly responded. She glanced at her mother and relayed what Lei Yan had told her, “It seems like the property manager is bringing the residents of the building to the top floors because their house was flooded. A few refugees are also mixed in.”

She told this information to her mother because she wanted to see what her mother’s reaction would be. If she was to act like Lu Yin, then she needed to make preparations to keep her mother out of matters like these.

Fortunately, her mother did not let her down!

She frowned and said to Bai Meiyue, “What kind of nonsense is this? The situation is already like this; how can this manager be so muddleheaded and bring unknown people into other people’s houses? What if they attack others and snatch their supplies?”

Seeing that her mother was still clear headed, Bai Meiyue heaved a sigh of relief. She then said to her mother, “It has already happened; a few of the residents were robbed of their supplies the second they opened the door to let them in.”

“Oh my, how terrible!” Mother Bai was shocked. She looked at the door of their house and questioned, “Yueyue, this door of our house will be able to stop those people, right? Or should we block it?

Bai Meiyue’s eyes flashed and she nodded before saying to her mother, “We should barricade the door, Mom. We can’t be sure.”

Not wanting her mother to be too complacent, she could only respond in such a manner.

While Bai Meiyue and her family were more or less prepared for the doomsday to arrive, Bai Xue and her family were in a sorry state.

“Brother Feng, you have to do something!” She pleaded with a sobbing voice. “Look at this; the prison is almost flooded and we are about to be drowned. Please get us out of this place or we will die!”

As she spoke, she didn’t forget to squeeze out a few tears as she said to Bai Feng, “I am willing to kneel if that’s what it takes for sister Yue to forgive me. I made a mistake blinded by my jealousy but I didn’t kill anyone! She can’t let our family die, right?”
