Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies

Chapter 95: Finding trouble

Even Bai Meiyue turned to look at her brother and said to him, "Even if the army comes to rescue the people, they would be forced to save the important figures first, and then they would be sent to collect supplies for these figures. The citizens would be saved after the officials have settled. If we wait for someone to rescue us, then we will only be waiting for death."

Though Bai Meiyue had stockpiled a lot of supplies, including the dry food, she was not going to tell this to her family. Bai Meiyue knew that if she told her family about the supplies, they would never step out of the house and wouldn’t let her leave either. But could they survive by locking themselves in the house?

It was better to face reality sooner than later. Instead of waiting for someone to rescue them, they needed to become their own saviour. Only after facing the desperation for not having enough supplies would her family pick up their weapons and fight.

Which was important as building one’s stamina and coping ability helped one to awaken as a supernatural being. And fighting zombies was the only way to do it.

Of course, she didn’t want her family to charge ahead of her and collect nuclei. She could do it on her own; after all, this was what she owed them. Nor did she want them to go with the hunting teams to collect supplies. She could do these things on her own.

But she didn’t want them to hide their heads under the ground like ostriches when trouble comes knocking.

Bai Meiyue didn’t want the past to repeat itself; thus, she wanted her family to come to terms with reality as soon as possible.

Hiding was impossible.

"Then—then what will we do?" Bai Jixuan asked nervously.@@@@

"What else? We need to go out and hunt for supplies," she paused when she saw the look of horror on her brother’s face. "Don’t worry, I met these men eating monsters just now when I was returning home. They are not that strong at the moment. All you need to do is smash their heads open and take the nuclei from the inside of their heads. You will be fine as long as you break their heads."

"Break...their heads?" Bai Jixuan gulped heavily. Even the thought alone was enough to make him throw up his dinner. How would he smash the heads of these monsters?

"Brother, you cannot hide in the house," stated Bai Meiyue without showing him any mercy. Even if these words of hers might hurt her family, she couldn’t let them live in delusion that the army would come and save them. "We don’t have enough supplies; if we don’t go out, what will we do without food or water?"

Bai Meiyue could understand the anxiety of her mother; after all, she was once a mother as well. Back then, when she left the base, Bai Meiyue also felt really worried about the safety of her son.

But her mother couldn’t protect them all their lives, and they would not be able to survive if Mother Bai continued to coddle them.

Seeing that his eldest brother had agreed, Bai Jixuan had no choice but to agree. He couldn’t stay at home like a coward, could he?

"You all—" Mother Bai was anxious and angry but she couldn’t lose her temper on them either. Because they were not saying anything unreasonable.

Ding Ding.

The sound of the doorbell echoed in the house and Bai Meiyue frowned. She had changed the lock of the main gate of her corridor because she did not want anyone to come looking for her. But even after changing the lock, these people were still bothering her.

Fortunately, she asked her brother to change the locks of both the doors on either side of the corridor.

"I will go and take a look," said Bai Zhan but he was stopped by Bai Meiyue, who raised her hand and said to him, "Let me. Probably they came to look for me because of the supplies."

She was the one who brought the trouble home, then she would be the one taking care of it. As she left, she did not forget to take her bloodied dagger with her.

Though she stopped Bai Zhan, he couldn’t sit still and followed Bai Meiyue out in the corridor.

Bai Meiyue headed to the door that was at the end of the corridor and tapped the code for the door to open. As soon as the door swung open, Bai Meiyue found herself standing face-to-face with Manager Ni and Fang Qing.

They were followed by a bunch of onlookers.
