Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 683

Chapter 683: No point in waiting

On the other side, Dacheng and the rest were looking at the clock; they had been waiting for Lei Qian to join them, but it was already eight past, and the man never arrived with his team. Even after waiting for so long, Dacheng didn’t see anyone arriving. In the silence of the night, they could only hear the sound of the mutated bugs croaking along with their wings snapping against one another.

Suddenly, Chief Lin broke the silence. “There is no point in waiting for them; they are not going to come tonight. Let’s just do it.”

“Okay”, Dacheng lowered his head and hid the disappointment in his eyes. He thought that he might have convinced Bai Meiyue to join them. But it turned out that it was he who thought too much. Anyway, even if Lei Qian did not come, they would have to do it. Winners or losers, it didn’t matter; they had no other choice now that the ability user who could control these bugs was dead.

He sucked in a breath and said to the rest, “Let’s do this. We are going to do big things together, so don’t look back and continue marching forward. If you look back, then we will definitely lose this battle.”

Chief Lin got to his feet and so did the rest of the team as they looked at the researcher who had just dusted his hands of the special suits.

“How long can they last?” Lu Yin asked while eyeing those green suits that looked really ugly.

“They can last for seventeen hours,” replied the man promptly. “As long as they are not burnt by the fire of an ability user, that is. The time is tight, and I couldn’t make suits that will be resistant to fire ability users.”

When Lu Yin heard that these suits were not fire-resistant, she frowned with an ugly scowl. She wanted to say something but was stopped by Dacheng. He glared at her, stopping her from saying anything. Upset with the glare that she was pointed at with, Lu Yin pursed her lips so tightly that they turned white. She wondered why Dacheng was acting like this; this man had one job, and that was to make sure that the suits that he was creating were going to be perfect, and he couldn’t do that one little thing.

Why was she the one who was getting blamed?

She was only pointing out the truth.

Lu Yin was upset, but she didn’t dare to say anything and could only stay quiet.

Chief Lin nodded. “Alright. Let’s do this.”

At the penthouse where Bai Meiyue lived with her family. Yu Miaomiao, who had been trapped inside the penthouse for a long time, could no longer sit still. She was aware of Dacheng and Chief Lin’s plan. Yu Miaomiao knew that they were going to attack her very soon. She couldn’t sit still knowing that she was about to be killed. She turned to look at the ability users who were following her and then glanced at the hostages who had willingly come to her.

One of them was Bai Xue. Despite Chu Xia stopping her, she didn’t think twice and came to Yu Miaomiao. She hated Bai Feng, and she hated her father. The way the two of them treated her just because she was not awakened was simply outrageous. Her hatred for Bai Feng and her father had reached new limits, and she couldn’t see right from wrong anymore. She just wanted to cause trouble for Bai Feng, even if it meant putting her life in danger. If she was going to be dragged down, then she was going to drag Bai Feng along with her.

No matter what!

Among the supernatural ability users, one of the men who was closely related to the traitors in Dacheng’s faction spoke in a calm voice, “I heard that they are about to make a move. They have also created special suits that will make it impossible for these mutated bugs to kill them.”

“Then it’s time for us to move as well.” Yu Miaomiao straightened her back with a gloomy look in her eyes. She walked forward and took a look at the map on the table that she had arranged earlier. She knew that if she didn’t make a move now, then she would die at the hands of these rebels who were determined to kill her.

The supplies in her warehouse had started to run short. They were not going to last long, especially after most of the supplies were stolen. Till today, she hasn’t found out who was the one behind this theft. Three warehouses, all located at different places and yet all of them were robbed! And there was not a single trace left behind.

Compared to her condition, Chief Lin and the rest were still a bit better. At least they were not running out of supplies. They were receiving supplies from Bai Meiyue, which meant that these people were in a much better situation than she was—even if the supply was often hindered, they were still in a better condition!

They couldn’t drag this situation any longer. If this stalemate were dragged on any longer, then there was a very good chance that she would be the first one to be starved to death. If that was the case, then she might as well go all out! What was more, even though the ability user who could control these mutated bugs was dead, Chief Lin still had a bunch of ability users who could take her down if she was not careful.

With the situation already like this, Yu Miaomiao knew that there was no point in holding back any further.

It’s a good thing that I sent all the survivors to Chief Lin and Bai Feng. At least with them gone, my burden had lessened by a considerable amount. Yu Miaomiao thought with a raging heart. Now she was only taking care of the ability users, while the rest of the survivors were all sent away.
