Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 724

Capítulo 724: Another Barter

Since Bai Meiyue didn’t want to make the decision, she dropped the ball in Lei Qian’s court. She turned to look at the man and said to him in a soft voice, “Do you want to take this case? If not, then we can refuse.”

Lei Qian stayed quiet before pursing his lips and nodding. “I want to take it.” Lei Qian didn’t hesitate and agreed at once. Last time, he had been waiting to kill Yu Miaomiao, but the woman was sly enough to hide in the safe zone and escape through the smokescreen that she had created. What’s more, he was too far to attack the safe zone or else he would have certainly killed that woman.

Luo Jingguo was right. While cooperating with Bai Feng would make Bai Meiyue uncomfortable, it was still better than cooperating with the likes of Dacheng, who could stab them in the back at the smallest turn. If that man received any benefit from Yu Miaomiao, he might run over to her without any shame. But Bai Feng could be trusted when it came to such things. What was more, the two of them had the same goals.

That man wouldn’t stab them in the back just because he was offered some benefits. Though he didn’t like the idea of helping Bai Feng in rescuing Bai Xue, the woman who tried to harm his beloved and their child countless times, Lei Qian was much more rational. He could see through the countless possibilities much more clearly.

They could kill Bai Xue any time they wanted. Bai Feng was bound to fumble the ball in the future, given how restless Bai Xue was— that woman was like a ticking time bomb. Even if they were to leave Bai Xue alone, she, with her talent alone, would cause such trouble that one day Bai Feng would have no choice but to give up on her.

Look at her. Just a few days, and she dragged Bai Feng down a mudflat. If this went on, then she would certainly bring Bai Feng to his doom sooner or later.

Lei Qian didn’t take Bai Xue seriously, as the woman was neither awakened nor did she have any connections that could make her a danger to them. But Yu Miaomiao—why would he worry about the dangers that might be waiting for them in the future when they had something even more important waiting for them in the present?

“Very well then.”

Seeing that Lei Qian had agreed, Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes and accepted the deal without showing any further resistance. She turned to look at Luo Jingguo and said to him, “We will accept your deal, but if you dare ask us for anything further than killing Yu Miaomiao, then I am putting it right here. We will not be able to help you.”

Luo Jingguo pursed his lips and lowered his head before nodding. He accepted Bai Meiyue’s term because he knew that what she was asking for was not unreasonable. She was only clearing the air before it got murky, and he admired her for that. Not many would be able to say what was on their mind upfront. In the apocalypse, people rushed to suck up to the powerful.

Bai Feng, being a high-ranking supernatural ability user, was often treated with respect and reverence. Those who came to look for him would be willing to do anything that he asked them to do. Not many would be able to say no to him if Bai Feng were to ask them to do it. However, Bai Meiyue was different; she didn’t take on any bullshit, and she didn’t withstand it either.

He got to his feet and stated, “Don’t worry. Leader Bai will not make things awkward for you by asking you to rescue Bai Xue. You just need to lure out Yu Miaomiao and assassinate her; as for the rest, you can leave it alone.” He didn’t have the face to ask Bai Meiyue to rescue Bai Xue, especially when the woman had tried to ruin her and even succeeded somewhat. It was Bai Meiyue’s good luck that the man she slept with after getting drugged was someone who wanted to take responsibility for the child in her belly.

If not, Luo Jingguo wondered whether Bai Meiyue could have survived in this world.

It was a good thing that Bai Meiyue couldn’t read his mind, or else she would have rolled her eyes at him. With or without a man, she could have easily survived in this world. Only a fool like Luo Jingguo, who underestimated women, would think that she couldn’t take care of herself and her child. She was stronger than she was in the past; there was no way she wouldn’t be able to deal with something like living without a man and raising her child alone.

However, Bai Meiyue had no idea what the man was thinking. After the cooperation was reached, Bai Meiyue left the matter of planning to Lei Qian, as she had some other things that she wanted to handle. She climbed up the stairs, with Bai Zhan and Bai Jixuan following behind her. Rubbing her belly, she said to her two brothers, “Once Yu Miaomiao dies, find a way to make her remains disappear.”

Bai Zhan and Bai Jixuan were surprised when they heard that their sister wanted to even clean up the remains of Yu Miaomiao. The two of them turned to look at one another, and both of them showed the same helpless expression in their eyes and couldn’t help but wonder if this was really their kind and sweet sister. Though they understood that it was all thanks to Bai Meiyue’s ruthless personality that they were able to survive till now. Being murderous was better than being stupid enough to be killed, but they still missed their old sister.

The one who was carefree.
