Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies

Chapter 88: Losing friends

A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes but Bai Meiyue restrained herself in time. She knew that she was unable to do anything to Zhou Jinchuan at present. That man had enough ties with the higher-ups, and she believed that the man must have enough weapons to protect himself at the moment. But that didn’t mean that she would not be able to deal a blow to that man.

She curled her lips and thought, ’The future is very long; there is no need for me to rush.’

She turned to look at Xie Yie, who was sitting on the floor of the hospital and questioned, "How much gold did Official Zhou promise Lu Ling?"@@@@

"I believe that it’s at least fifty kilograms," replied the skinny man promptly. His rat-like face twitched when he spoke and he looked behind them as if worried that Lu Ling would rush out and hold him accountable.

Fifty?

Though it was not much, it was not little either.

She further questioned, "And where exactly is the deal taking place?"

Realising that the woman was hooked by the deal, Xie Yie smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. "Boss, the deal is supposed to take place at the factory over the cliff, right next to the Zhu district. There is a lot of inventory of solar panels, diesels, quilts, a yacht, and grain. Official Zhou prepared these in exchange for the weapons that Boss Lu had prepared alongside the fifty kilograms of gold."

"Will Official Zhou be coming there?" Bai Meiyue asked and the man chuckled upon hearing her question.

He said, "Of course not, Miss. Why would the big boss come down to handle such a small deal? He left his men in charge. Don’t tell me you are planning on raiding the warehouse of the factory? The boss there is not simple; he can knock out more than ten people together."

With the motorboat in hand, it did not take long for Bai Meiyue and Xie Yi to arrive at the hiding spot of Xie Yi’s group.

Bai Meiyue looked at the formerly bustling shopping centre that was now desolate, with only a few zombies popping up in search of human scent. As the water level was no longer as high as it was in the past, they could walk on the street without any problem, except for floating away every once in a while when the water current became a bit faster.

Looking at the sight in front of her, Bai Meiyue clicked her tongue; she knew that the majority of the humans were hiding in their houses and were waiting for the government to rescue them.

Bai Meiyue, who had the information of the past and the present, knew that there was no point in waiting for the government officials. As they were the first one to bolt the second, they knew that things were going south. These officials first established the bases with enough manpower to consolidate their strength and only once they had settled themselves with that hideous syndicate did they send people to be rescued.

By then the zombies had evolved and it became even more dangerous for people to step out of their homes.

Compared to that, Bai Meiyue thought that this was the correct time to hunt for supplies. The chances of getting supplies were higher and the zombies were weak as well.

"It seems like they cannot smell us with this much water," Xie Yi whispered as he looked at the zombies that were walking around on the water-filled street while muttering ho ho. "When I and Boss Lu were in the hospital, they jumped on us the second they smelled us."

With some of the zombies having their eye sockets empty, Xie Yi deduced that these things relied on their other senses to detect humans.

Bai Meiyue did not say anything when she heard his words. How was she supposed to tell that the reason these monsters were not attacking them had nothing to do with the water in the street; it was her who was masking their scent and the noise of the motorboat? If not, they would have been attacked by now!

Not wanting this man to do something foolish when she was not with him, Bai Meiyue still kindly advised him, "Don’t step out without proper protection and weapons in your hands. These things are still weak and can’t do much harm but who knows what will happen later on?"
