Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 625

Chapter 625: Mother Bai: Care for Bai Feng

Bai Jixuan was sure that there was something that his brother was not telling him, but he had no evidence. He looked at his brother and kept staring at him until Bai Zhan started to feel nervous under his gaze.

“What are you looking at me for?” Bai Zhan asked with a frown. Though he didn’t show it on his face, he was actually quite nervous inwardly; the way Bai Jixuan was looking at him was as if he could see right through him, and this feeling was not good. Did his brother realise that he was lying to him? Since when did Bai Jixuan become so sharp?

“I think that you are lying to me, Brother Zhan,” said Bai Jixuan. His eyes were narrowed as he continued staring at his elder brother, who started to sweat while trying to suppress the nervousness in his heart. However, Bai Zhan knew that he couldn’t betray his sister, and given how loudmouthed Bai Jixuan was, he was afraid that if he told the truth to him, the man would certainly leak it to someone he shouldn’t.

“What do you mean? How can I be lying to you?” Bai Zhan rolled his eyes while suppressing the uneasy feeling in his heart. “Go and get Ah Qian. We are going to bring the supplies to the safe base and hand them all to Bai Feng and Fox.” Bai Zhan was not willing to help Bai Feng, after all; that man had once tried to kill Bai Meiyue. But he also knew that Bai Feng couldn’t die. Not yet. That man had to stay alive; only he could deal with Yu Miaomiao for the time being.

Fox was not as strong as Bai Feng. So, if Bai Feng died, then Yu Miaomiao would certainly come knocking on their safe base.

Bai Jixuan’s mind was diverted at once, and he turned around on his feet and jogged over to the training grounds, where Lei Qian was teaching the young and newly awakened fire users how to conjure small fireballs.

Bai Zhan watched him leave and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was easy to divert his brother’s attention or else he would have been in

quite trouble. Bai Zhan, who was not a good liar, couldn’t lie even if his life was dependent on it. Thus, it was quite a surprise that he could hide the truth from Bai Jixuan till now. Raising his hand, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and went to the kitchen to get something to drink.

“You are back?” Mother Bai walked out of the kitchen when she heard the sound of footsteps echoing in the silent mansion. After the mansions were allocated to everyone in the team, their main mansion had turned rather silent, and her hearing had become much clearer. Mother Bai also felt that her eyesight and her body had gotten better, but she couldn’t understand how it even happened. She recognised Bai Zhan even when he was quite far away and walked over. “What happened? You didn’t find the plane that your sister asked you to look for?”

“We were quite lucky,” replied Bai Zhan. “There was a warehouse not far from here, and I found a helicopter there.”

He raised his hand and pointed at the helicopter that was being moved out of the truck by Director Feng, whose body was now the size of a giant.

Mother Bai nodded. She then turned to look at her son and questioned, “But what are you going to do with this helicopter?”

“Yueyue wants to send some supplies to Bai Feng and Fox,” replied Bai Zhan. “The two of them are still trapped in the safe base with the mutated bugs flying all over their hideouts. They cannot go out and hunt for supplies. If this goes on, they will certainly die of starvation. That’s why Yueyue brought some medical and food supplies for them; at least with these supplies, they will be able to last for a while longer.” Bai Zhan didn’t tell his mother that Bai Meiyue did it because she wanted Bai Feng to become her gun and kill Yu Miaomiao. He had no idea why, but his mother had this soft spot for Bai Feng, which was not a good thing.

He glanced at his mother and carefully observed her expression, and sure enough, there was that longing look in the eyes of his mother. This – Bai Zhan had no idea what to make of this. He thought of Bai Meiyue, who wanted to kill Bai Feng, and then looked at his mother, who was filled with some inexplicable emotions for this man. Did she feel sorry for him? His mother did have the tendency to feel sorry for those who were quite pitiful.

However, what was the point of feeling sorry for someone who was going to die in the future? He knew Bai Meiyue wanted to kill Bai Feng; at least she wished for that man to die. She was only using him to her benefit, and once Bai Feng was done fulfilling his worth, Bai Meiyue wouldn’t think twice before taking his life. So, these feelings that his mother had for Bai Feng were something that might become problematic for them in the future.

“Mom—”

“You are going to rescue Bai Feng?” Mother Bai said to Bai Zhan. “Then you should bring some Xian Jin Feng. I just harvested them this morning, and their taste is really good.”

Mother Bai had been working hard on growing lychees for quite some time. She had been working on it ever since Bai Meiyue told her that she wanted to eat lychees. But now that it had grown, the first batch was going to Bai Feng? Bai Zhan couldn’t help but frown. This was not good. It seemed like the feelings that his mother had for Bai Zhan were not as simple as just pity. There was something else involved.

He needed to tell this to Bai Meiyue or else things might become troublesome later on.
