Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies
Chapter 788: Time for the Test
Lu Yin was both furious and hurt. She could not understand why her brother could not understand her predicament. She was trying to survive, so why was her brother not making things easier for her? Why was he making such demands? How was she going to face the ability users if she were to release the women? They would be furious if those women were suddenly released, and Chief Luo would never agree.
After all, these women were the reason the ability users were staying in their convoy. Without those women, how would they control the ability users? Lu Yin did not dare to do such a thing. She needed those ability users to make sure that she would be able to live a good life in the next safe place. After suffering so much, Lu Yin seemed to have understood the reason why Yu Miaomiao was working so hard to collect the ability users. It was because only by collecting the ability users that she would be able to exert herself in the new base.
So releasing the woman was out of the question!
Dacheng, however, had other thoughts. He could clearly see that Lu Yu was serious when he asked his sister to send the women to Bai Meiyue’s safe base. It was clear that he was not asking or suggesting. Dacheng also knew what Bai Meiyue was capable of, so he naturally wouldn’t treat her lightly. He hesitated and said, "I think it is better to release those women."
Dacheng still wanted to keep his life. As long as he was alive, nothing else mattered. With his knowledge, when it came to Bai Meiyue, he knew that the woman would definitely not sit still. She would certainly cause a huge mess if they dared to ignore her threats.
However, Lu Yin did not seem to notice the worries in Dacheng’s eyes. If anything, she turned furious when she heard Dacheng suggesting that they let go of the women. "What do you mean? You want me to send those women away? Have you even thought about what would happen if I were to send them away? How will we even survive in the other base? The reason so many ability users are willing to follow us is that they are given benefits that Bai Meiyue did not give them. If we send the women away, what would happen to the ability users? Would they still follow us?"
Lu Yin did not want to agree at all.
"Have you lost your mind?" Dacheng finally lost his patience with the dumb woman in front of him. He glared at Lu Yin and said to her, "Do you think I am no match for Bai Meiyue? Is that why you are stopping me from going against her? I am telling you that even if you are scared, I am not. So you better not make a fuss with me."
Lu Yin raised her voice and stiffened her neck angrily.
She did not want to send those women back at all. If Bai Meiyue wanted to come, then let her come. She would deal with her when the time came.
After she finished speaking her part, she turned on her feet and walked away. Dacheng watched her leave and was so angry that he wished he could tear her apart. This woman was really being too much. Did she think that Bai Meiyue was a woman she could take on? She was someone who would kill them without blinking her eyes.
Dacheng’s eyes flickered as he thought of his next step. He could naturally not allow Bai Meiyue to come looking for them. He turned and looked in the direction of the warehouse where the women were kept, and his eyes started to turn. He could not send them out openly, but what if the women were to run out on their own?

At the same time, at the Bai safe base, the second branch of the Lei family was causing a huge fuss. How could they not? After finding out that Bai Meiyue had allowed everyone but their family to enter the safe base, how could Old Madam Bai be willing to accept it? She was so furious that she wished she could skin Bai Meiyue alive. How dare that woman? Just because she was carrying the bloodline of their family, that woman thought that she could do anything that she wanted.
Old Madam Lei slammed her cane on the ground and cursed, "Lawless! Simply lawless! How can that woman be this lawless? No matter what, we are still her in-laws. How could she do such a thing? To think that they actually stopped us from entering the safe base."
Second Uncle Lei was just as furious. He knew that Bai Meiyue was really cruel, but he never thought that she was so ruthless. To think that the woman would actually play such a hand. She would rather take everyone inside their house than their family. She must be sick in the head because why else would she do such a thing?
"Mother, stop scolding Bai Meiyue. Even if you want to scold someone, there is no point, as Bai Meiyue is not here to listen to you. I have nothing to say to her, anyway; that woman is not our family, but what about the eldest brother? What does he mean by this?" Second Aunt Lei said fiercely. "He must already know that we are outside, but he is not willing to come and see us. No matter what, you are still his biological mother. How can he do this?"
Second Aunt Lei was furious. The weather was so hot, and they did not have any resources; the little water they had was about to be exhausted. How come no one from the Bai or Lei family came to see them? Were they really going to let them suffer like this?
She did not feel reconciled at the thought.
She raised her head and looked at Lei Wu before saying to him, "Son, what do you say about this?"
