Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies

"What are you going to do?" Luo Jingguo asked with an annoyed tone. He looked at Bai Feng and questioned angrily, "Why did you say in front of everyone that you would do something? What are you going to do?"

"How are you going to make Bai Meiyue help us? You clearly know that she hates Bai Xue’s guts."

Bai Feng was walking forward. He didn’t turn around and simply said, "I know Bai Meiyue; she might be angry with me, but she will not ignore my life and death if I reasonably speak to her." Bai Feng had a plan in his head, and he was determined to see it through. Seeing that the man had already decided, Luo Jingguo didn’t say anything. There was nothing that he could say in this situation; after all, who asked him to choose to follow this man?

The two men arrived at the tenth floor, and after a round of security inspection, they finally stepped inside the section where Bai Meiyue was resting at the moment. She raised her head and looked at the visitors who came to see her and frowned. "What do you want? Unless you are here to bring Bai Xue’s head, I am not interested in listening to anything that you have to say to me."

Bai Meiyue was indeed not interested in what the man had to say to her. No matter what, she was determined to take Bai Xue’s life.

However, before she could say anything else, Bai Feng reached out and placed the bag that he had carried over his shoulder onto the table in front of Bai Meiyue. He said to her, "I am willing to exchange 10,000 crystal nuclei per person, including Bai Xue. As long as you save their lives, I will hand over at most 540,000 crystal nuclei to you for saving the people in my team."

Upon hearing this, Bai Meiyue frowned. She raised her head and looked at the person in front of her. This was the first time she was seeing Bai Feng this close. The man was filled with helplessness and looked tired. From the top to the bottom, he looked like a chained beast that had been tamed against his will.

Bai Meiyue pursed her lips. The situation between her and Bai Xue was simply too unsettling; there was no way she would ever be able to reconcile with her, but at the same time, Chu Xia had tied Bai Feng and Bai Xue in an unbroken bond that couldn’t be snapped off even if she wanted to.

"Let’s not talk about what happened between the two of you. I am not even asking you to take our relationship into consideration. Just think of this as a little business discussion. As long as you are willing to save the lives of my team members, I will hand over these crystal nuclei to you."

He looked as helpless as he could ever look.

Bai Meiyue looked at the bulging bag on the table and sighed heavily. There must be more than a hundred thousand crystal nuclei in the bag. And Bai Feng used all of these crystal nuclei in his hands to buy Bai Xue a chance to live. She and Bai Feng knew that if he had handed Bai Xue over to her, she would have saved the lives of the rest of the people in his team without him asking her, but since he wanted her to leave Bai Xue alone, of course, he would have no choice but to pay her.

Bai Meiyue curled her lips. It seemed like with Bai Feng’s stance, she would never be able to kill Bai Xue, at least not for the time being. It was better to make a profit out of the current situation and then think of a better plan to kill Bai Xue. Bai Meiyue didn’t believe that Bai Xue would be able to hide behind Bai Heng all the time. Sooner or later, she would kill that woman.

"Bai Feng, do you know something? Sooner or later, you will be ruined by this woman and Bai Qingshi."

Bai Meiyue snatched the bag from the table and pursed her lips. She knew Bai Feng better than anyone; unless someone was making a fuss, he would not have come to her. And she knew who this person was.

Bai Meiyue didn’t say anything. Since someone was giving her so many crystal nuclei for saving someone’s life, why would Bai Meiyue refuse? But the problem was that she had to save Bai Xue’s life in exchange.

But after thinking about it carefully, Bai Meiyue realised that there was no point in brooding over this. Since Bai Feng had brought these crystal nuclei for her, there was no need for them to go and hunt any more crystal nuclei. She got to her feet and said to Bai Feng, "You can bring your people to the roof within an hour. I will be leaving, and I can bring them along with me, but remember that I will be favouring my own people and no one else, even if you have paid me."

"I understand." Bai Feng had already expected it and nodded to agree with Bai Meiyue. After all, he knew that Bai Meiyue was already giving in to his unreasonable demands by bringing in so many people with her even when she had no feelings for him or Bai Xue.

Bai Feng lowered his head, and a troubled glint flashed in his eyes. He knew that he had let Bai Meiyue down again and again, but was she really unwilling to talk to him anymore? He couldn’t help but wonder whether the two of them could ever get along like they used to in the past. He sighed and then turned on his feet before heading downstairs.

Bai Meiyue watched the man leave and shook her head. She had nothing to say to him; if he wanted to act like a fool, then she could only watch him topple into the murky water while carefully separating herself from him.
