Chapter 776: Bai Xue’s desperation
Bai Meiyue did not have many thoughts; on the other hand. She knew that there was no way she would be able to kill Bai Xue for the time being. She needed to think of Lei Qian and her child first. As for Bai Xue, she could wait for the time being.
She slowly got to her feet and looked at Bai Feng, who was still lost in his thoughts. Seeing him like this, Bai Meiyue couldn’t help but shake her head before saying, "I don’t know whether to feel sorry for you or pity you, Bai Feng. If you continue like this, then your entire life will be ruined by those who belong to the Bai family." In the past, she had supported the Bai family with everything that she had, and in the end, she only got betrayal. She wondered what was in store for Bai Feng, given that Bai Xue had turned even more vicious than ever.
However, it was not something that she should be concerned about. For she paid the price for her blind trust in the Bai family, and so would Bai Feng. Bai Meiyue could only hope that the man would wake up before he died.
Because honestly, if Bai Feng died, that would be too big a loss, even if he was an idiot.
Bai Meiyue grabbed the bag of crystal nuclei and then stepped out of the room without taking another glance at the man. She didn’t feel guilty about taking the crystal nuclei because she was helping Bai Feng even when her own life was at risk; certainly, he couldn’t blame her for this. Anyway, the fact that she was holding her hand and not reaching out to kill Bai Xue alone was enough for her to be rewarded with a big bag of crystal nuclei. Everyone was getting something at the end of this deal, right?
"Are you really going to give away so many crystal nuclei just like this?" The man who came with Bai Feng couldn’t help but object. They could have saved a lot more crystal nuclei if only Bai Feng had agreed to leave Bai Xue behind, and in fact, if they had handed that woman to Bai Meiyue, then they could have been rescued from this zombie wave without losing anything. So why? Why would Bai Feng go to such lengths to protect that woman who caused nothing but chaos?
In fact, if not for her, they would not even be trapped in this situation. It was all because of her!
"We have no choice; we cannot leave anyone behind," Bai Feng explained in a low voice. He had a feeling that what Bai Meiyue told him was not something that she said out of anger or to spite him, the way she looked at him. That calm and controlled manner. It was as if she were telling him an ascertained fact. Like Bai Xue and Bai Qingshi would one day really get him killed.
He couldn’t help but frown when he thought over this again and again. Certainly not; though he admitted that they were selfish, they would never think of letting him die. They won’t leave him to die. He believed it.
And even then, he couldn’t help but feel worried.
When Zhou Fan heard his response, he was furious. Could not leave anyone behind? Or was it Bai Xue whom he could not leave behind? Honestly, that woman was such a burden. Bai Meiyue clearly stated that as long as they handed Bai Xue to them, she would help them. So why bother keeping that woman who would only drag them down with them?
The next morning, Bai Meiyue was panting harshly as she climbed up the stairs. With each passing month, she had gained more and more weight. Now her right hip was cracking with each step she took, and the round ligament pain was suddenly not something that she could ignore at all. Behind her, Fox and the rest were following carefully, with Bai Jixuan carrying Lei Qian on his shoulders. While Bai Zhan supported the weak and the injured.
When they reached the top floor, they found the private jet that Bai Wenxuan had arranged for Bai Meiyue parked right on top of the building. It was flying a few feet away with a ladder fluttering in the air. Bai Meiyue looked at the ladder and tutted in silence before creating her own staircase. She turned to look at the rest of the team before saying, "We will be leaving first."
She was speaking to Bai Feng more than anyone else. She then pointed at the other plane that was a bit far from where they were standing and stated, "The other one will be here in fifteen minutes. But it can only hold around twelve people. You should start selecting which one you will send first." However, as soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud explosion underneath their feet, followed by countless roars.
"This is bad; it seems like a third-level zombie broke through the special defences!"
Bai Meiyue frowned when she heard the intel, but she was not worried. The special defences were still quite intact, and even if the third-level zombie broke through the first one, it would take a long time for it to break through the rest. Though she was calm, there was someone who was out of her mind with worry. The second Bai Xue heard that a zombie had broken through the defences, she was scared silly.
She broke through the ranks and rushed to the front while screaming, "Sister Meiyue! You have to take me with you! You need to take me with you."
Earlier, she was full of rage, but upon hearing that her life was in danger, she forgot all about her temper and rushed to the front to beg Bai Meiyue. She was in such a rush that she didn’t even stop to pay attention to who she was knocking into and even sent Xiang Mei flying.
