Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies

On the other side, Yu Miaomiao was watching the little spiders that she had created in her laboratory scuttle. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned and looked at Fox, who had arrived after discussing the matter with the ability users that she wanted to take hold of.

She asked, "What happened? Did the family members of Bai Feng agree with the conditions that you have put forth in front of them?" Though she asked this question, Yu Miaomiao was certain that the greedy members of the Bai family would definitely agree, and sure enough, she heard Fox say,

"They have agreed. I believe they would come to look for us in a few days."

Yu Miaomiao chuckled happily when she heard Fox's response. However, a second later, she tapped her fingers on the table and questioned, "What about Lei Qian? Did his family members agree to the conditions that we have put forth?"

"No." Fox shook his head and replied, "I did talk with Master Lei's family, but no one agreed. His parents refused outright, and his sister…" Fox's lips curled up when he remembered the fiery temper of Lei Yan, but he suppressed it and continued, "She refused to even listen to what we had to say." He paused and added, "However, the second branch of the Lei family agreed to come with us. But…"

"But?"

"But I found out that they are not on good terms with the first branch of the Lei family. I am worried that bringing them here would do us no good. After all, if Master Lei dislikes them, why would he come to the base out of his own free will?"

"They are still his family members," mused Yu Miaomiao while rubbing the many rings that she was wearing on her fingers. "Even if she doesn't care about them, someone would care about them, right?"

Fox hesitated and nodded. "Well, I heard that his grandfather does care about them."

"Then bring them here; as long as they are of even a little use, we can make use of them." Yu Miaomiao licked her lips and said, "Anyway, he is the cousin of Master Lei. If his brother can awaken as a powerful ability user, he might not be too bad himself. Right?"

"I will follow your command," he paused and then asked, "But what if it doesn't work?"

Yu Miaomiao curled her lips and said, "There is no need to worry. I heard that Bai Meiyue is pregnant with Lei Qian's child, right? To think that two powerful ability users are going to have a child. I wonder what kind of wonder that child might be?" A wild glint in her eyes flashed, and she said, "If nothing works, then we can always make use of that child."

Dacheng, who heard the words of Yu Miaomiao, was stunned. He hadn't even relayed this information to Lu Yin, as he knew that the woman would go crazy. He had seen just how much that woman liked her brother Qian. If she found out that Lei Qian had slept with Bai Meiyue and was even having a child with her, who knows how she would go crazy?

So, how come Yu Miaomiao found out about this child's existence so quickly?

He hesitated and then asked, "So are we going to kidnap Bai Meiyue?"

"Do you think that it is so easy to kidnap a powerful ability user like Bai Meiyue?" Yu Miaomiao sneered as she turned to look at Dacheng. Bai Meiyue was the kind of woman who could ruin the entire base if she were cornered. "We are not going to touch her for the time being. But we will wait until her child is in our hands. One child and two ability users."

Yu Miaomiao sighed dreamily as she waved her hand. "Think about it a little? With their child in our hands, wouldn't the two of them listen to us quietly? It's better to control a child rather than two powerful ability users. With such a handle on them, I don't think that they will ever think of rebelling."

Yu Miaomiao was not blind. She could see that Bai Meiyue was the kind of woman who could ruin her entire base and kill all the ability users that she had collected. Bai Meiyue was that strong and capable. The reason the woman was still in a dormant state was possibly due to her child.

If not for the child, Yu Miaomiao was certain Bai Meiyue would have retaliated against her, as she had become a threat to her.

But kidnapping a child and taking it under control was easier. As long as they could get their hands on the child, they could control Bai Meiyue and Lei Qian quite easily.

The child was going to be born in a few months, at most five months, right? Then she would withstand the rebellion of those two for a bit longer, but once she got her hands on their child, there would be no way for them to go against her anymore.

When Dacheng heard Yu Miaomiao's words, he only had one thought in his head. This woman was so ruthless! Even worse than him. Even if he wanted to make use of Bai Meiyue's child to make Lei Qian hate her and follow him to base, he had never thought of killing Bai Meiyue's child by separating him from his mother.

Earlier, when he joined the base, he thought that it was going to become his new dawn, but now Dacheng felt a bit scared. Was joining this base really a good thing? Even if he were heartless, he would never make use of a child! Suddenly, he couldn't help but feel a bit scared of the woman in front of him.

She could even make use of a child for the sake of getting what she wanted – to what level could she stoop?

But at the same time, he felt a kind of thrill. This was it… he wanted to become a person like Yu Miaomiao! Only those who could shake off these useless emotions would climb to the top. Like Yu Miaomiao!
