Chapter 465: Returning to the base (2)
Bai Meiyue smiled when she saw the expression on Lei Qian's face. Why did she never know that Lei Qian was this childish? She said to him, "Well, it's expected. They are no longer normal chickens. It's only natural that you will have a hard time with them."
Hearing her response, Lei Qian snorted. He crossed his arms and then looked down at the black hen that was glaring at him. he glared at the thing right back and sneered at her with a hint of ferocity on his face.
The black hen suddenly went limp when she saw Lei Qian glaring at her. However, from the look on her face, Bai Meiyue had a very good idea that she was only falling back to attack more fiercely later on.
Seeing this, Bai Meiyue was really amused and decided to keep this black hen alive.
Her thoughts, however, were interrupted when she saw the greenhouse that was not far from where she was standing. She walked over to the greenhouse and peered inside. As these vegetables were not showered by the doomsday rain, they were growing quite well. The tsunami didn't reach this far; thus, these green vegetables were without any harm.
The more Bai Meiyue looked around, the more green onions, shallots, onions and spinach fell into her eyes. Because these vegetables were growing in the greenhouse, they were perfectly fine and didn't seem to be showing any signs of wilting. When Bai Meiyue saw the lush greenery, she clicked her tongue.
She had to admit that Yu Miaomiao was a really narrow-minded and short-sighted woman. How could she not think of looking for supplies?
If she had, then she wouldn't be running around looking for wood-type supernatural ability users. Finding supplies in the cities and mansions would be much easier, and what would be even easier would be looking for vegetables and fruits in villages. There must be an even, lush supply of vegetables.
When Bai Meiyue thought about it carefully, she curled her lips and realised that she had once again come up with a way to make Yu Miaomiao bleed. Since this woman wanted to take advantage of her, she couldn't blame her for making use of her.
She called her brothers and asked them to collect the vegetables. She was going to use these vegetables to earn a little more crystal nuclei from Yu Miaomiao.
Bai Jixuan was rather excited when he heard Bai Meiyue say that she was going to sell these vegetables to the base. Making use of these vegetables that they didn't need to earn crystal nuclei sounded like a really good idea, as they could make that snake-like woman, Yu Miaomiao, suffer.
Once they were done collecting the supplies, Lei Qian didn't wait for Bai Meiyue to put forth any more suggestions and asked her to go back with him. The sun was already setting, and soon the zombies would start getting more and more active; it was better if they returned to the base before that happened.
Bai Meiyue also agreed, as she knew that if she stayed out for long, Yu Miaomiao would start getting suspicious of her. It would be better if she returned to the base and went back home; this way, at least she would be able to throw Yu Miaomiao off her trail for a bit longer.
Anyway, the manpower they had brought out this time was nowhere near enough to clear the entire mansion and make it fit for human survival.
Bai Meiyue was now pregnant with Little Cai Cai; she could not stay in such a place for the time being.
Thus, Lei Qian wanted to go back to the base before things became troublesome.
It took them three hours to return to the base, and when they arrived at the base, they had to hand over more than half of their supplies. However, the supplies that they had collected were so many that they didn't need to worry about anything. Bai Jixuan happily handed the soldiers more than one-third of the green vegetables that he had collected.
Seeing the lush green in the Bai family's hands, the soldiers' faces turned green. They knew that Bai Meiyue and her brothers were really crazy, but they never knew that they were this bold. Where did they get so many supplies when they couldn't? At the same time, they couldn't help but be envious; if they had supernatural abilities like Bai Meiyue, then they would be able to collect supplies like her and her team.
When Bai Meiyue saw the expressions on the faces of the soldiers, she understood what they were thinking and sneered coldly. These people were really good; they didn't see the risk, and they only saw the result. Did they think that she miraculously got this strong?
She was strong because she made herself like this.
By taking risks and facing troubles that they would never be able to face.
However, as they drove past the checkpoint, Bai Meiyue realised that in just a few hours, new laws and rules had been added to the base. Now, for the sake of entering the base, they not only needed to hand over supplies, but they also needed to get a physical examination done. When the soldiers walked over, Bai Meiyue's lips twitched.
Did they not know that the supernatural abilities users could not turn into zombies? Not unless they were bitten by a level six or seven zombie?
Those zombies had not even appeared yet!
Bai Meiyue, however, didn't bother questioning the soldiers and simply allowed them to take her samples as well to test whether she was having a fever or not. Of course, she knew that these samples would definitely be handed to Yu Miaomiao later on, but what of it? Even if that woman was a genius, she would never be able to recreate another Bai Meiyue or Lei Qian.
While Bai Meiyue was rather cooperative with the entire process, Lei Qian eyed the medical soldiers warily.
