Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jingguo whipped his head and turned to look at Bai Feng. He was shocked out of his wits when he heard his words. He never thought that Bai Meiyue would be so bold. She actually wanted to leave the base and venture out?

"How do you know that?" Lu Xinran asked. Her voice was filled with curiosity, as she hadn't cottoned on to it either. They were so silent as if nothing was going on; how come all of a sudden, Bai Meiyue was moving?

"There are fifty ability users in her team; along with that, she also has forty thugs and a gang leader. Three doctors, ten nurses. Twelve orphans and sixteen pregnant women. Her brothers and mother are still with her, but I can see that her brothers, who usually stay at home, have been going out a lot. And more than half of the population on the three floors has reduced. She is clearly trying to move without anyone noticing."

"Then is she leaving behind all the resources that she had collected?" Lu Jingguo asked with a frown. Though he had never been to Bai Meiyue's penthouse, he did hear that it was like a haven for many. There was almost everything that a person would need in times of apocalypse. How could she be willing to leave the resources behind just like that? If it were him, then he wouldn't have even thought about it.

Those were the resources that she had collected after toiling for hours, maybe days. How could she just give up?

"You are forgetting something, Brother," said Lu Xinran. "Bai Meiyue is not a fool. She must have long noticed that Yu Miaomiao is targeting the child in her belly. Rather than putting her precious child in danger, I believe leaving the resources behind might be a better option in Bai Meiyue's eyes. Anyway, she had collected these resources once; she could always collect them again."

"At least her child would be safe, and that is all that matters."

And as much as Lu Jingguo wanted to say that it wasn't the same, he had to admit that his sister was right. Bai Meiyue—that woman was crazy for her child. She was like a cornered animal who would go to extreme lengths just to protect her child. That glint in her eyes, Lu Jingguo knew it too well.

Bai Meiyue didn't just love her child; she was obsessed with the idea of protecting him. The very thought of giving birth to the child seemed to be the straw that was holding her together. If anyone came in the path of her or her child, even if it was Lei Qian, Lu Jingguo was certain that the woman wouldn't hesitate to kill him.

On the other hand, Mo He and Tong Huan, who were keeping watch on the spider cams, were frowning hard. They couldn't understand why all the spider cams were pointing and hovering in the same direction. They turned to look at one another before snatching the telescope from the ground of the roof where they were hiding.

Tong Huan peered through the lenses and found the hovering spot of the spider cams when she realised that they were all circling the penthouse area, her heart suddenly tightened. She said to Mo He, "Quick contact, leader Lei. I am afraid that something happened. Something must have happened to Sister Meiyue and the others, or else the spider cams wouldn't be circling around that area. There is something wrong, very wrong!"

Mo He was jolted awake; he had been watching the spider cams the entire night and didn't get any chance to sleep. However, when he heard that something had happened to Bai Meiyue, he immediately got to his feet and went to get the walkie-talkie.

This was a different kind of walkie-talkie that Bai Meiyue had arranged for from the barter system. It was connected to an exquisite device, and it worked as a network tower on its own without the need for a big one. Thus, as long as they knew how to use it, they could always connect to the walkie-talkie, which was actually a latest model from the S7 dimension.

Though it resembled a walkie-talkie, it was a miniature phone.

The second, Mo He connected the device; he could hear the sound of ringing. He waited for the call to be picked up and then relayed everything that happened to Lei Qian, and even though no words were said from the other side, one could sense the anger penetrating through the walkie-talkie.

At the same time, Lu Yin was staring at the sight in front of her with her lips pursed in a thin line. She turned and glanced at Chief Lin, who was watching another wave of mutated bugs coming down at the base.

"This is not good," said Chief Lin in a stern voice. "So many losses in just one day. If this goes on, I am afraid that the survivors will lose their will to support the base; the protection that we speak of has been stripped bare, with holes like sieves opening all over the place. This cannot go on."

Lu Yin didn't know what to say. More than a thousand people were killed today. Those who could run away were lucky and ran away to hide. But those who were not lucky were killed right on the spot; after all, they became the feast of the flesh-eating bugs.

"Why isn't the chief doing anything? I heard from someone that the reproduction ability of these species is really fast. If they are not dealt with, then I am afraid that they will only double in number by evening. They should have been burned or killed with something. We could have arranged for fire ability users or ice ability users. Even someone like Bai Feng will do."

Dacheng questioned, as he could not understand Yu Miaomiao's action. "I mean, it would have been better if she had asked Bai Meiyue and Lei Qian to help us!"
