Chapter 466: Boss Du's retaliation
"Are you really going to add more and more rules?" Lei Qian asked with a hint of annoyance on his face. He really didn't want to go through this song and dance every time he arrived at the base.
"Just get used to it." Bai Meiyue knew that the man was upset with the procedures that had been added to the already existing rules. At the same time, she couldn't help but be a bit unhappy; why was he causing trouble? They just needed to suffer for a bit more, and then they would be able to get away from this base.
She said to Lei Qian, "In the future, things will only become more problematic. Are you going to fight every time you enter a base? It's better if you just finish doing what they are asking you to do. Anyway, if you fight with them, it will only waste more time."
This was just a problem for a few days. Once Yu Miaomiao and the rest of the researchers were done researching, they would soon find out that the doomsday virus couldn't stay alive for more than twenty-four hours. Once a person passed that period, they would successfully awaken as an ability user.
Thus, after that, no one would bother with these temperature measurements and other follow-ups.
And even if they did, Bai Meiyue and the rest didn't need to care about it, as they would leave the base very soon.
When Lei Qian saw that Bai Meiyue was glaring at him, he could only purse his lips and fall silent. He didn't want to let these people touch him, but he knew that if he didn't, then he would waste his time. Bai Meiyue had been up and about for hours, and it was soon going to be her nap time, and he couldn't waste any more time.
What if it affected his wife and his son?
Thus, he turned to look at the soldiers and said sullenly, "You better not waste my time."
The soldiers trembled under his fierce aura. Though there were a bunch of soldiers standing outside, no one moved, which only made Lei Qian even more upset.
"What are you doing? Do you think that I have all day to waste? Do it!"
In the end, the youngest soldier was pushed to the front, and he had no choice but to lower his head timidly and finish taking Lei Qian's temperature and handing him the identity card. The second he handed the verification card to Lei Qian, the man turned around and ran away.
It took them an entire two hours before they could return home.
When Bai Meiyue returned home, she found Xiao Wu pinning a thug to the ground.
Bai Meiyue glanced at the man who was pinned to the ground with the rest of the corpses that were thrown to one side and asked Xiao Wu, "Who is this?"
"This man and his people had been keeping an eye on your home for a while, Boss. I have noticed them coming and going upstairs a few times. However, they don't look like they are survivors, and today I caught this bastard trying to put a mini bomb on the door. Most probably to blow the lock at night or some odd hours."
Xiao Wu wrestled and grappled with the man who was struggling against him. He had been following Bai Meiyue for so long; how could he accept someone hurting her like this?
She was his boss, who had given a thug like him a place to stay.
Harming Bai Meiyue under his nose? Impossible.
When Bai Meiyue heard his response, she arched her brow and turned to look at Ciyi, who walked over and started scratching the back of the man. Her claws were sharper and longer, like hooks. So it was not a surprise that the man screamed in pain.
Bai Meiyue looked at the man who was now bleeding quite profusely and asked, "Why did you try to harm my family?"
The man was shaking violently because of the pain. He said in a low voice, "The...boss... the boss asked us to kill your family and you —"
"Your boss?"
"Boss Du," said the man. He was filled with regret at the moment and couldn't help but feel angry. Why did his boss send him here? He didn't even tell that these people were supernatural beings. If he had, then he would have thought before coming here.
"You tortured Feng Fei so cruelly that the boss couldn't stomach your actions. Thus, he sent us here to make trouble for you. He hoped that we could kill you —"
Bai Meiyue knew Boss Du, and she, of course, knew Feng Fei. She curled her lips and questioned, "So you are from the Tiger gang?"
"Yes," said the man with his face scrunched up in pain. "I—I am from that gang, now that I have told you everything, you should let me go."
As soon as the man finished speaking, Bai Meiyue summoned a ball of boiling hot water whose temperature crossed 1500 degrees Celsius and caught the man within it.
The man didn't even get a chance to scream in pain when he melted into nothing but a puddle of blood and flesh. Bai Meiyue used her skills to make the bubble disappear just as Lei Qian cleaned the rest of the corpses.
When Xiao Wu saw the two people working together, he gulped heavily. They were really terrifying!
It was a good thing that he was following Bai Meiyue and was not standing against her, or else he would have been worried that she would definitely kill him! And that too in the worst possible way.
Bai Meiyue pursed her lips as she looked a bit solemn. It seemed like she had let this tumour stay for too long. Boss Du actually tried to stretch his hands to her house. It seemed like that man had gotten bolder when she was not paying attention.
"I have heard about the Tiger Base." Lei Qian turned to look at Bai Meiyue and said to her, "They are known for their ruthless actions. What do you plan to do now?"
