Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 743

Capítulo 743: A Sly Woman’s last scheme

“You shut up!” Bai Qingshi was furious. He truly wished he could rush up ahead and kill this woman for running her mouth. Did she even realise what she was saying? At this point, was there a need for her to act all magnanimous? She had to be kidding him.

Chu Xia didn’t listen to him. Not only did she not shut up, but she even raised her voice and said to Bai Feng, “Feng’er, don’t listen to anyone, son. You need to leave right now. Right now.” Chu Xia’s thin face held a trace of remorse and heartache. At that moment, she knew what she was going to do, and she was honestly filled with a hint of regret. Back then, she was prettier than any woman in the village.

Men, even when they knew that she sold her body to make a living, would come to look for her. They would coax her and try to win her over. But she looked down on those men, as they were not rich enough. But just a few days ago, she saw one of the men who came to look for her in the safe base. Compared to Bai Qingshi, who was relying on his son, his wife and his daughter to bring him his meals, that man was going out and risking his life to bring meals to his son and wife.

That man, who was weak, sickly and thin. Compared to Bai Qingshi, he was weak in every manner, and yet that thin and sickly man was twice the man Bai Qingshi could ever be. In the past, Chu Xia never looked back at the past, as she thought that there was nothing for her to feel regretful about, but at the moment, she realised that there were indeed things that she regretted.

She regretted chasing after someone like Bai Qingshi and even getting involved in his shady businesses. Look where it brought her. If she had chosen an honest man, maybe she would not be in this situation where she could not take a step back or forward. She only had one choice in front of her, and it was so extreme that it made her heart ache.

Tears started to trickle down her cheeks. While looking at Bai Feng, she tried to smile, but it looked worse than crying. With a pale face, she said to Bai Feng, “Feng’er, you are a really good boy. A really filial son, it was our family who dragged you down. And Xue’er, she was the one who ruined you like this. I am sorry; I shouldn’t have allowed Bai Xue to run amok. I should have paid more attention to her and made sure that she wouldn’t cause trouble for you. It was your aunt, who didn’t take proper care of this silly daughter of hers, and now that we have fallen into Yu Miaomiao’s hands, you have been dragged down by us.”

She curled her lips in a pained smile and whispered, “Just promise me that you will take care of Xue’er and if there is a day where you can not forgive her…or me… or even your dad…just for the sake of what I am going to do —please I beg you to let my daughter live.”

As she finished speaking, her eyes lit up with a hint of determination. Before Bei Feng could even understand what the woman was trying to do, Chu Xia opened her mouth and screamed like she had gone crazy. Then, before anyone could stop her, she got to her feet and charged right at the crowd of zombies that were swarming close to the convoy.

“MOM!”

Bai Feng screamed when he saw what Chu Xia was doing, but he was not prepared for her wild and suicidal actions; thus, he didn’t even get enough time to stop her.

He could only helplessly watch Chu Xia jump into the crowd of zombies and get torn apart.

Just as Chu Xia died, Bai Xue let out a scream of horror. Not because she was startled by the loss of her mother, but by the reality of the situation. She had long realised that her mother was the only one who held some importance in Bai Feng’s heart. Now that she was dead, would Bai Feng even bother with her and her father, as they had never been kind to him?

Bai Feng stared at the wave of undead and spun on his feet before releasing a spear that shot a strong electric wave at the armoured vehicle. It went straight toward the vehicle, and just then, a bunch of ability users rushed out of the vehicle and rushed towards Bai Feng. Seeing this, the ability users in Bai Feng’s team also came running out of their vehicles. As the ability users from both sides came running out, a brawl started on the street.

With the battle breaking out, the zombies were caught in the fray. The attacks of the ability users killed countless zombies, but the explosions also attracted many zombies.

“Damn it,” Bai Meiyue whispered as she spun on her heels and headed inside the building angrily. It seemed like she and Lei Qian were destined to be trapped inside this stupid situation. With explosions so loud, it would be a surprise if they did not attract the attention of countless zombies. Countless zombies and mutated bugs – the combination alone made Bai Meiyue laugh out in anger. Could she even get out of this place with everything going out of control like this?

Of course, Bai Meiyue did not blame Bai Feng. She was, in fact, willing to admit that what the man did was right. But he was too slow. He should have attacked this woman long ago. That way, Chu Xia wouldn’t have gotten a chance to lay out her scheme.

Bai Meiyue knew Chu Xia, and she had a very good idea why this woman had given up on her life.
