Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 699

Capítulo 699: Fire in the Hole!

When the weasels arrived at the safe zone, which was quite far away from where Bai Meiyue lived, they were stunned to find that the warehouse that they had been eyeing was being surrounded by a bunch of humans. However, they were not surprised. They had seen a lot in the past few days and knew that this was how the humans protected their valuables. Ordinary thieves wouldn’t have to steal anything from Master Song, as he was a close aide of Master Huang, but the weasels were not the same. They had stolen a lot of food from humans in the past few days and were never caught; thus, they didn’t fear Master Song.

What was more, they had walked quite far away to get to this safe base. The distance plus hunger had long turned these weasels upset. When they saw that there were a bunch of humans guarding the warehouse, they turned angry and gathered together to discuss how to deal with the mess in front of them. After a very long discussion, one of the weasels turned around and headed to the weaponry, where he mercilessly set the gunpowder on fire by pushing it inside the raging flames burning inside the fireplace. In an instant, the entire weaponry caught fire, and soon explosions started causing a riot in the safe zone.

“What happened?”

“The weaponry was set on fire.”

“How could such a thing happen?”

“Stop talking! We need to douse the fire.”

The guards never expected the weaponry to catch fire. It was so well protected; how come it suddenly caught fire? What was going on? Their safe zone was supposed to provide weapons to the safe capital. If all the weapons ended up getting burnt, then what would they hand over to the higher-ups? Master Song would kill them. The guards were in a hurry to stop the fire from spreading any further and didn’t notice that a group of weasels walked past them.

Even Master Song was woken up. The chaos that reigned in the safe zone made him hurry out of his apartment. He vaguely heard that the weaponry was on fire and hurried out of his bedroom. No! That place cannot be burnt down. He was hiding way too many secrets there.

However, when he arrived at the weaponry, he realised that it was too late. He stared at the burning ruins and crouched down with his hands on his head. He was staring at the burnt walls and gates with a look of despair on his face. Forget about the weapons; even the secret letters and many other things that he had stored away in the safe of the weaponry were burnt down. At this point, he might as well jump into the fire and die alongside them!

“Investigate! Investigate for me. Starting today, I want you all to dig six feet deep in the ground to find this bastard for me,” Master Song roared at the ability users. He couldn’t believe that they didn’t even notice the trespasser who walked past them and set the weaponry on fire. That too, right under their noses.

After receiving the order, the guards, whether the common guard or the special guard, they all turned around and rushed out to catch the person behind this incident. They didn’t believe that the jerk could have left the safe zone so soon. They ran away, leaving Master Song to sob silently.

However, just as he was crying, a sudden thought came to his mind and he jumped in the air. “Oh no!”

He then staggered on his feet and rushed to the warehouse, where he had kept all the crystal nuclei. When he pushed open the warehouse’s gates, he saw the boxes intact. Seeing that they were completely fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everything was safe. At least no one touched his crystal nuclei.

However, as soon as his eyes fell on the corner of the warehouse, he realised that one of the three boxes was missing. Master Song staggered back. In such a short time, a box was moved without anyone noticing anything.

What a good trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Master Song thought of the weapons that were ruined, plus the crystal nuclei that he had lost, and his eyes rolled back in their sockets before he fainted right then and there.

“Yueyue, you really need to control that group of vixens. If not, I am worried that they might end up causing really big trouble.” This was the first thing that Tong Huan said to Bai Meiyue as soon as she entered the mansion. The woman’s face was flushed red in embarrassment and humiliation. Bai Meiyue didn’t even need to use her toes to know that Tong Huan was once again played by Xu Yiyi, and she was played to death by her.

This had become a new routine. Every day, Tong Huan would follow Bai Zhan when he was working. Since the workplace where Bai Zhan was working was close to the apartment building where Xu Yiyi was living with her girls, it was not a surprise that they would run into one another.

With Tong Huan’s personality, she would often go against Xu Yiyi, and Xu Yiyi was no soft persimmon. She would deal with Tong Huan with just some casual words. And then Tong Huan would come looking for her, demanding that she do something about the vixens. It had gotten so old that Bai Meiyue had started to get a bit tired now. She sighed and said to Tong Huan, “Alright, I will see what I can do about them.”

She glared at Bai Jixuan, who seemed like he wanted to make a comment, and the man turned quiet. She had a feeling that whatever Bai Jixuan was going to say would only add petrol to the burning fire. Bai Jixuan seemed a bit unreconciled, but he still pursed his lips and turned silent. An action he was not quite happy about.
