Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 498: Forced Imposition (2)

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Meiyue reached out and pinched him on the waist again. Clearly, he was not doing a good job of doing her bidding, but Lei Qian was not in the mood to do it at the moment. He was the one who went on a hunt to find those supplies; why should he hand them to the base?

Not to mention that those supplies were for his child and wife. Bai Meiyue didn’t even get a chance to eat them, and these jerks wanted to take a chunk out of those supplies? Like hell he would hand them his supplies.

"Of course, we are not in the mood to go head-on with you. First, all your team seem to be getting stronger with all the ability users you are taking in," began Fox with a little chuckle. "And fighting with you and your team would only bring us even more of a loss, something that we don’t want to do. After all, it would be a foolish step to take, even if we end up collecting more of the ability users; this is something that we know."

He then took a step forward and continued, "But you are forgetting that humans only have limited patience, and your actions are causing Chief Yu a lot of problems. First of all, your defiance to join the base is bad enough, as it has caused many of the ability users to back out. Secondly, your continuous refusal to listen to her is not right. You need to understand that the laws of the base are the reason why there is peace at the moment."

"What if more and more people start refusing to hand over their supplies after learning from you?"

He was still speaking when the sound of a baby crying echoed in the corridor, and Fox turned to look at the infirmary that was not far from where they were standing. He then spoke in a kind tone, "Your actions would be fine if you were alone, but think about it carefully. You have a big burden on your shoulders. Not only are you taking care of pregnant women and babies, but also orphans. And your lover is also carrying your child. What will you do if Yu Miaomiao decides to attack your weak point?"

"You don’t want that now, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Qian’s face turned red with anger, and he was not the only one. The doctors and the nurses turned red in the face as well. It was clear that Fox was threatening Lei Qian to follow the law and the commands of the base. If not, then they would start a war.

In war, the weapons had no eyes. They would kill anyone who was their enemy. How cruel! To threaten a man with his unborn child. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Lei Qian was indeed scared of hurting Bai Meiyue and his child. What if the two of them were implicated because of him? He immediately became much more tame. Sensing that the man had turned as quiet as a quail, Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes. She then pinched him on the waist to snap him out of his thoughts. If he was going to fight, then he better fight till the end!

Lei Qian also understood her continued pinching. He immediately snapped out of his thoughts and then said to Fox, "You can try, but you need to understand that if you dare to touch my child and Yueyue, then I will hunt each and every one of you down. It doesn’t matter if you have an old mother or a child or anyone else. As long as you make a move against me, I will kill everyone you love right in front of you."

"Well said!" Wan Guofu clapped his hands as soon as Lei Qian finished speaking.

Fox’s expression turned a little sullen when he saw that Lei Qian had threatened him with the family members of the soldiers. He knew that Lei Qian was not just saying it out of anger; he meant it. If he or anyone else dared to cause trouble for Bai Meiyue, then they would definitely be hunted down by Lei Qian.

It was a threat so terrifying that he knew that it ought to work. He turned his head and turned to look at the soldiers behind him, and just as he expected, they were eyeing Lei Qian warily.

Fox quickly calmed down. He changed his mood and then said to Bai Meiyue and Lei Qian, "Naturally, no one wants that. We, too, wouldn’t be willing to do such a thing. I just wanted to hand a little warning to you all to not push your luck too much."

After he finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but before leaving, he told Bai Meiyue and Lei Qian, "There will be some changes in the base because of today’s incident. Make sure to listen to it carefully lest you find yourselves in trouble."

Lei Qian frowned when he heard the words of the man, but soon everyone understood what Fox meant by saying that there would be changes in the rules of the base. That evening, a large truck with a soldier standing on the space behind it went around the base announcing the changes in the rules.

Firstly, the one-third supplies had been moved to half. Now, every time someone returned with supplies, they had to hand over at least half of the supplies to the base.

Secondly, all the institutions, from the hospitals to the schools opened by the survivors, were now moved under the direct command of the base. Half of their earnings needed to be shared with the base, be it the crystal nuclei or supplies.

Lastly, the ability users were no longer free. Since they were taking the protections and the safety of the base, they needed to return the favour. Even if they don’t join the base. Which meant that they needed to do at least one mission every week or hand over a hundred catties of rice, a hundred catties of meat and a hundred catties of water and vegetables.
