Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies

"I will discuss this matter with Qian," said Bai Meiyue. "I cannot make any promises on his behalf. Once he tells me what he thinks of this cooperation that you speak of, I will send a word to you two." She didn't rashly agree with Dacheng and Lu Yin's suggestion. True, she wanted to kill Yu Miaomiao, but she wasn't as foolish as to rush in without weighing the pros and cons.

Yu Miaomiao was going to die; this was certain. However, was she going to join forces with Dacheng and Lu Yin? This was something that Bai Meiyue was not yet clear about. After all, Bai Meiyue knew that she couldn't trust either Dacheng or Lu Yin. putting her confidence in them was equal to handing a dagger to her enemy and then turning her back on them. These two had betrayed their loved ones, who saved their lives more than just once. What were the chances that they would not betray her? Null.

If they started to lose this war against Yu Miaomiao, Dacheng and Lu Yin were the kind of people who would turn around and stab them in the heart for the sake of their survival.

Bai Meiyue thought that it was better to discuss this matter with Lei Qian first. If they could, then they might as well kill Yu Miaomiao on their own; it was better to head to the war with their trusted team members rather than become a gun in the hands of these two.

Dacheng smiled, and when he saw Lu Yin frowning, he patted her on the back of her hand. He had already expected this to happen; after all, with their relationship with Bai Meiyue, it would be nearly impossible for the three of them to cooperate. At most, they could negotiate, but hoping for Bai Meiyue to agree with their request at once was being optimistic to the point of oblivion.

So Dacheng stopped Lu Yin from making the situation any more ugly and simply chatted with Bai Meiyue.

When Bai Meiyue saw that Dacheng had stopped talking about the cooperation, she curled her lips. Sure enough, this man was really smart. However, one could not slap a smiling face, so instead of sending the man away by kicking him out, Bai Meiyue chatted with him a little before taking her leave.

"Why did you stop me?" Once Bai Meiyue was gone, Lu Yin turned and questioned Dacheng angrily. "Can you not see that she is not willing to cooperate with us?" Lu Yin felt enraged when she thought about how Bai Meiyue was calling Brother Qian so intimately and even spoke to her with the air of Lei Qian's wife. The two of them were not even married. At most, Bai Meiyue was a bitch who got lucky.

"And what can you do to her?" Dacheng got to his feet and glanced at the stupid woman who was jumping around foolishly. "Do you think that you can take her down or threaten her into joining hands with us?" Dacheng's words caused Lu Yin's face to turn red in shame. She opened her mouth but closed it a second later, for she had nothing to say against what Dacheng said to her. She naturally could not go against Bai Meiyue; if she could, then why would she be sitting here, trying to convince the woman to join their team and help them kill Yu Miaomiao?

She would have done it on her own!

Dacheng scornfully curled his lips and walked out of the lounge without looking at Lu Yin, this foolish woman. Did she think that he couldn't see Bai Meiyue's reluctance? He could. But he was not stupid. With the current situation, Dacheng finally realised that the goal that he had in his mind was not as simple as he had thought. Completely falling out with Bai Meiyue was not a good decision. At least right now, they could still hold a conversation, but if they ruined the little goodwill that Bai Meiyue was maintaining on the surface, it would be pandemonium.

If I had known that Yu Miaomiao would fall so easily, I would have thought twice before walking out on Bai Meiyue, thought Dacheng. He felt regretful when he saw the facilities that Bai Meiyue had arranged for the survivors and recalled what kind of mess he would have to face once he returned to the safe base; Dacheng felt his regret double.

On the other hand, Bai Meiyue returned to the mansion where she ran into Xiao Wu.

"Boss, why did those people come to look for you?" Xiao Wu asked. He was sorting out the weapons that Bai Meiyue had given to him when he heard that Lu Yin had come looking for her with Dacheng. He glanced at the two people and noticed Lu Yu staring in the direction of his sister. Though the man didn't go over and question Lu Yin, Bai Meiyue could see his struggle. Lu Yu wanted to confront Lu Yin and her foolish actions, but at the same time, he was afraid to hear a response that he didn't want to hear.

Bai Meiyue sighed. She also felt sorry for Lu Yu; the poor man had done nothing wrong, and even the fortune was in his favour, for he awakened such a powerful ability. However, he was unlucky when it came to his own family. And if Bai Meiyue was being honest—that alone made Lu Yu quite unlucky. After all, there was no one more unlucky than the person who couldn't get peace in their own home and family.

And given the kind of person Lu Yin was, Lu Yu would never get the peace that he wanted and deserved.

"Nothing." Bai Meiyue turned her gaze away from the siblings and said to Xiao Wu, "Call your underlings; there are some things that I need to discuss with you and them." Since Yu Miaomiao had sent spies to her safe place, Bai Meiyue needed to prepare everything accordingly.
