Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 685

Chapter 685: A Smart Woman

Yu Miaomiao actually held Bai Xue in contempt. She had investigated the situation around her for months and she now knew very well that as long as a member of a family awakened, there was a very good chance that the rest of his siblings would awaken as well. Look at Bai Meiyue; look at Lei Qian. The two of them awakened as ability users and so did their siblings but what about Bai Xue? She was Bai Feng and Bai Meiyue’s sister; even though they were only related partly, they were still siblings. How was it possible for her not to awaken when her siblings did?

Since she was not an ability user, Bai Xue could only be used as a pawn.

Yu Miaiomiao scoffed. When she allowed Bai Xue to follow Bai Feng, she was certain that the woman would be of some use to her, but it turned out that she thought and expected too much from this woman.

Taking another look at the blank look on Bai Xue’s face, Yu Miaomiao turned around on her feet and then arranged things neatly. She wanted to get out of this safe base without being caught by either Fox or Chief Lin, her own dogs. The one whom she had raised with her own hands—they were coming to bite her. What a rotten world she was living in.

Everything was arranged as she wanted. Soon a fleet of cars headed to the north where the ability users arranged by the Chief Lin and Dacheng were marching from. While a small fleet of cars went in the direction of buildings which were under Bai Feng’s control.

In the middle of the night, the safe base was swiftly lit up with all kinds of explosions. Lu Yin, who was hiding in a dilapidated building alongside Lei Qian, was keeping track of the situation at the safe base with the help of the binoculars that Bai Meiyue had given him. He muttered furiously, “Didn’t Dacheng say that they were surely going to win? That Yu Miaomiao was too weak to fight against them? It doesn’t look like it. She has been holding on for more than three hours.”

Lei Qian was hiding in the corner and crouching close to the window of the balcony. He surveyed the situation and responded, “A starved camel is still bigger than a dog. Do you think that she will go down so easily? If Yu Miaomiao was so easy to kill, then she would have been killed by them long ago.”

His eyes stared at the many explosions and questioned Bai Zhan, “What is the current status?”

“Jixuan says that more than five hundred ability users have been killed. Each of the factions lost a considerable number of ability users,” replied Bai Zhan. With Bai Jixuan turning himself into a falcon, he was responsible for transmitting the real status of the fight to Bai Zhan and the rest. He was the only one who could sneak close to the safe base without being detected. Thus, Bai Jixuan was left with the responsibility of using his skills to spy.

“So many lives lost just like that.” Yang Chunhua closed her eyes and made a quick prayer for the departed soul.

Wan Guo Fu, on the other hand, had a completely different outlook regarding the situation. He glanced at Yang Chunhua and said to her, “There is no need for you to feel sorry for them. They knew what they were getting into; they did it because they were greedy. What’s the point of feeling sorry for those who died for their greed?” He didn’t understand people like these ability users who placed their lives at great stake just for the sake of a little fame and glory. Was living well not enough? He, who lost his mother and sister at the hands of those thugs who attacked them when he was not at home, could never see the thought process behind the pain and chaos.

Yang Chunhua opened her eyes and glanced at the man whose face was filled with solemn tension. She said to him, “They might have been greedy but now that they are dead, they are just poor souls who departed too soon.” She made a gesture with her hands and prayed for the peace of the departed souls and stood up. “There are no enemies after death.”

No one spoke.

They silently agreed with what Yang Chunhua said but they also knew that Wan Guo Fu didn’t agree with her thought process, so they avoided getting into a quarrel with him.

Suddenly, Bai Zhan straightened up and everyone turned to look at him. “They are out.”

Lei Qian turned to look at the man and sharply asked, “Who is out— is Ye Miaomiao out?”

“It’s hard to say,” Bai Zhan said with a troubled look on his face.

“What is that supposed to mean?” Lei Mei asked as she rose to her feet. She took one look at the face of the man and knew that there was something weird about the entire situation. “What happened?”

“There are four fleets of cars. All heading in different directions, no one knows in which car Yu Miaomiao is at the moment. They drove out of the garage at the same time,” replied Bai Zhan with a tired sigh.

“You have to be fucking kidding me,” snapped Lei Qian as he snatched the binoculars from Lu Yu and took a good look at the fleet of the cars and it was just as Bai Zhan said. There were four fleets of cars heading in different directions. He raised his hand and punched his fist in the wall, with a scowl on his lips. He said to his team, “It doesn’t matter. Now we have only one choice: deal with all four fleets of cars.”

He got to his feet and said to the rest, “Team, get ready. We are going to separate and deal with these fleets. Make sure that you do a good job.”
