Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 116

Bai Meiyue was quite impressed by Bai Feng’s actions. He not only noticed her collecting the nuclei, he also detected that there was something unusual about these crystal nuclei.

No wonder he was able to climb to the top so quickly; if not for the fact that he was a fool and supported Bai Xue blindly, he wouldn’t have died so easily.

When Bai Meiyue thought about it, she felt her heart ache. So much good potential. All of it was wasted because of one selfish white lotus.

However, Bai Meiyue was not willing to answer his question and shrugged. "I do not have any idea."

"Then why are you collecting these crystals?" Bai Feng asked. His face was hard and cold under the moonlight that was shining in the darkness. His gaze was fixed on Bai Meiyue and he didn’t even flinch when a gust of wind brushed past them, bringing a strong wave that crashed against his knees.

Though he didn’t say it, he indirectly called Bai Meiyue out on her bullshit.

Bai Meiyue didn’t even blush. She knew that Bai Feng was aware of her lies but so what?

She turned to look at him and stated in a cold voice, "Brother Feng, you are forgetting that I am no different than you. Just like you, this is my first time dealing with such a thing. How can I know what these things can be used for? I am collecting these because I want to go back and study them. Doesn’t it strike as weird? Their entire body is rotten but there is a crystal growing in their heads."

"No matter how you look at it, there has to be something weird about it."

As for the fact that these nuclei could help a person awaken, Bai Meiyue didn’t tell the truth to Bai Feng. If it was someone else, she would have given a hint to the person, but Bai Feng was not just anyone. This man whose head was filled with water, he was on the side of the Bai family; she could not help him.

If she told Bai Feng the truth about the nuclei, it would not take long for him to relay the information to Bai Xue and Su Hu. Though these two people were not able to awaken in her past life, they didn’t give up. Bai Xue heard about the rumour that using the crystal nuclei of a six-grade zombie could help an ordinary person awaken and thus sent Bai Meiyue to kill one and get its core.

Even though the probability was less than 0.1%, Bai Xue, who was jealous of Bai Meiyue and her abilities, wanted to give it a try. Thus, she half coerced and half lied to Bai Meiyue by telling her that as long as she could help her awaken, she would be able to participate in the hunt and lessen her burden.

And as foolish as Bai Meiyue was, she believed it. She wanted to spend more time with her son and thought that as long as she could source these six-grade crystal nuclei, she would be able to have enough time to stay with Bai Cai.
