Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies

Bai Meiyue quickly put down the rice bowl that she was holding in her hands and hurried out of the room. At the threshold of the penthouse, she put on her shoes and then went out of the house with the butcher knife in her hands. She went to the third floor, worried that something had happened.

As she arrived on the floor where the medical staff had opened a new hospital. The entire corridor was brightly lit and crowded with people. The nurses were running in and out of the room, and the woman who had screamed earlier was still screaming in pain.

Mother Bai, who came with Bai Meiyue, went to look inside the room, and when she came out, she was a bit pale and explained to Bai Meiyue, "That Yang girl has gone into labour. Go back home and take care of yourself. Don't stay back and watch the fun; you will only scare yourself."

"Ah? So soon?" She still remembered that Yang Wei's wife had only come to their house a few days ago; how come she was already giving birth?

Bai Meiyue was a little surprised watching Yang Wei, who was nervously walking back and forth inside the corridor. No wonder this man was so eager to kneel in front of Shen Zhen. If he had held back even a little bit, then his wife would have been a lot of trouble. Maybe she would have even died.

The screams of pain echoed in the corridor one after another. The agony-filled screams were so powerful and mournful that even the men in the apartment building couldn't help but curl their toes.

Mo He peeked out from behind Yun Chuan and said, "Is it really that painful? She is screaming so painfully. It's unbearable to listen to."

"Why don't you try to squeeze a watermelon out of your arse?" Bai Meiyue remarked as she turned to look at the man. She didn't go back home, but she also didn't enter the labour room. That was the only reason why she could stay back, or else Mother Bai, who was assisting in the birth process, would have dragged her back home.

Bai Meiyue's words made Mo He's face turn red; however, the man didn't say anything and simply smiled at her flatteringly.

She also didn't make a fuss. Bai Meiyue knew why the men were making such a fuss. They had only seen women give birth before the end of the world—and the delivery room in the hospital was carefully constructed. Thus, the sounds and screams in the delivery room could never pierce through the walls.

So, these men had never heard the screams of women when they were in the delivery room. However, it was not the same case at the moment.

With no proper sound insulation, Sister Yang's scream echoed in the corridor without any barrier.

Though these men had seen many movies and shows where they had seen a woman going into labour, in the end, that was just reel life and not real. At most, the woman would scream AHHHH and be done with it. The scream was monotonous and calm. How could these men understand the true intensity of labour pain?

At the moment, they were listening to the true horror of the birthing process.

Thus, they all stared at the labour room with their scalps turning numb. A few of them looked like they wished they could share Sister Yang's pain and take turns giving birth.

As the hours passed by, Sister Yang's pain only doubled instead of easing. Bai Meiyue, who wanted to stay and see the newborn child, could no longer hear her screams. The more she heard them, the more she was reminded of the time when she was caught in a difficult labour and couldn't push anymore without Shen Zhen helping her.

She turned on her feet and rubbed Xiao Cai, who was slowly growing in her womb and walked back to her home. However, even when she returned home, the screams of Sister Yang still echoed in her ears, even when she closed the door behind her. So, she went to her room and started cultivating with the ability user cores that she had harvested when she went to clear up the Tiger Gang.

The more an ability user advanced, the more difficult it became for them to break through a level. Even though Bai Meiyue had learnt how to control the spiritual essence of a nucleus and collect it within her own core, she was still trapped in the fifth level.

While she was using all kinds of cheats to advance, Lei Qian had already broken through the seventh rank, and she was worried that if this went on, he would soon break through the eighth rank too.

What was more, she had heard the rumours that Bai Feng had also broken through the fifth level and was now a sixth-rank ability user. Bai Meiyue didn't know if it was the truth or not, as she had never fought against the man. However, these rumours brought a sense of urgency to Bai Meiyue's heart.

She was not worried about Lei Qian getting stronger than her. But she was truly anxious to catch up with Bai Feng; there was no way she could let that man surpass her. If he got more powerful than her, Bai Meiyue wondered what kind of chaos Bai Xue would cause in this world.

Fortunately, Bai Meiyue didn't need to pour more energy into her core. She was almost at the edge of the fifth — she just needed to embed a little more energy.

At that moment, she was sitting cross-legged and absorbing the energy of the cores that were in her hands. With her eyes closed, she could feel the core energy becoming one with her and filling up her own core to make it stronger and more powerful. However, as more and more energy started to pour within her core, Bai Meiyue started to feel her heartbeat getting faster, and the blood in her body started to heat up.

As she pushed herself to absorb the energy, a fishy taste filled her mouth, and she—
