Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 499: Plans to Killing Yu Miaomiao

"They have gone crazy!" Bai Jixuan exclaimed once he finished listening to the new rules that were being broadcast in the entire base. He turned to look at his elder brother and said to him, "What kind of crazy rules are these? They want us to work for them without getting anything in return?"

Bai Zhan frowned and turned to look at Bai Meiyue before saying to her, "What should we do?" If they stayed in the base, then they would have to either pay Yu Miaomiao with supplies that were way too exorbitant or work for Yu Miaomiao. Both options were really dangerous.

According to the new rules that Yu Miaomiao had set, everything in the safe zone now belonged to her and the high-ranking officials. Even the medical resources that Bai Meiyue had collected and set up. And if that was all, they could have at least thought of a counter-strategy. But no! Yu Miaomiao had stooped down to another level by making even the supernatural beings her properties.

What did she mean by that in exchange for the protection of the base, they needed to take on tasks and hand her more than half the supplies?

Bai Meiyue didn’t say anything. She was actually quite surprised that Yu Miaomiao had gone to such lengths to suppress them. In fact, if she thought about it carefully, such rules never came into existence. Forget about Yu Miaomiao; even the number one base of the nation didn’t make a set of rules like this in the past.

These rules were not rules. They were a set of restraints that were being used to suppress the ability users. How could there be such harsh rules? What was the point of hunting zombies and looking for supplies if they had to hand over more than half of the supplies? To make sure that the ability users would not hide inside the base and refuse to hand in the supplies, she added another law that strictly stipulated that they needed to take on a mission every week.

Most probably, Yu Miaomiao thought that the ability users would not dare to run away. After all, currently only a few bases had appeared in the city, which made the outside world even more dangerous. That was the only reason she was being so bold and ruthless while making these rules.

She believed that the ability users would still follow the rules even though she had cornered them.

But what she didn’t know was that it was really hard to tame ability users. Because they were stronger than the common survivors, they had an inherent arrogance within their hearts. They were not used to following rules, especially if there were ability users who were stronger than Yu Miaomiao in the base. No high-ranking ability user would take orders from a low-ranking ability user.

What rules? In this world, what kind of entity was Yu Miaomiao, and what rights did she have to make these rules? And even if she had the authority, why would the ability users listen to her? If Yu Miaomiao was stronger than them and if she was giving them some benefits that suited their tastes, the ability users would at least think of doing her bidding. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

But the rules that Yu Miaomiao had set were only for her benefit and those who were sitting in the high seats in the base. There was no such thing as benefits for the ability users or the common survivors.

With this round of rules, Bai Meiyue was certain that there would soon be another round of ability users who would rather turn around and escape the base.

It wouldn’t happen right away. Some of the ability users were fortunate enough to awaken right after the apocalypse started; thus, they fortunately saved the lives of their loved ones, like Bai Meiyue. Thus, they would think twice before escaping the base, as they could survive in the outside world, but the same couldn’t be said for their family members.

The zombies out there were getting stronger with the passage of time, and soon, it wouldn’t take long for a zombie king to appear.

With the changes in the energy around the world, Bai Meiyue could sense that the number of level one or two zombies had increased. So many dangerous risks were enough to make these ability users hesitate and stay in the base for the sake of their families.

They couldn’t carry the burden of taking care of their family alone.

Maybe that was what Yu Miaomiao was banking on. She knew that Bai Meiyue and Lei Qian had a family that they cared about. Thus, the two of them wouldn’t dare to leave the base, and she could easily control them into doing their bidding.

Bai Meiyue was half certain that the woman was thinking of handing all the difficult tasks to her and Lei Qian such that she could make the most out of their abilities.

Everyone’s mood was rather turbulent when they thought about how they were getting backed into a corner. Even Mother Bai, who was always comforting everyone, was filled with anger. How could she not? Her daughter was pregnant and she was about to give birth in another four months. How could she go out and do missions?

But if they don’t do the missions, then they would have to hand over more than a hundred catties of meat and other supplies. Where would they get so many supplies? Even she couldn’t grow hundreds of catties of vegetables when she had mutated soil in her hands!

"Those jerks!" Mother Bai snapped as she smacked the dining table angrily. How were they going to survive like this?

She turned to look at Bai Meiyue and then said to her, "What are we going to do, Yueyue?"

Bai Meiyue knew that her mother was worried about Xiao Cai, and honestly, she was too. From the looks of it, Yu Miaomiao was actually trying to stretch her hands to the small hospital that she had opened.

And there could only be one reason for it.

Her child!
