Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 705

Chapter 705: Don’t use me as a gunman

"In short, you failed?" Bai Meiyue offered in a soft voice, and Dacheng’s expression changed slightly. He shook his head before stating firmly, "I didn’t fail. There were some slight hitches, but we cannot count them as a failure. We have taken most of the safe zone under our control. At most, we just need to deal with Bai Feng."

"And you think that you can deal with Bai Feng?" Bai Meiyue questioned with a soft curl of her lips. "Do you think that Bai Feng is like those little bosses you dealt with last night? If he were that easy to kill, then Yu Miaomiao wouldn’t have run to hide under his care."

"I know this. That’s why I came here." Dacheng knew that he and the rest of the ability users could not deal with Bai Feng. He looked at Bai Meiyue solemnly. "We should deal with Bai Feng in the first strike. It will be better for us to kill him first before he makes a move, or else we will end up in a compromising situation."

"Be the first to kill him?" Bai Meiyue snorted. The expression on her face turned stern, and she glanced at Dacheng before saying to him, "Dacheng, how many lives are you going to take before you can finally reach your goal? Did you even sit down and count the number of people who died last night?"

Bai Meiyue did agree that Yu Miaomiao needed to be killed, and if they didn’t make a move, then Yu Miaomiao would certainly make a move first with that idiot Bai Feng. But what made Dacheng think that he could make her work for him? After swallowing Yu Miaomiao’s ability users, he wanted to take over Bai Feng’s team and supplies as well. He dreamt of making it to the top, and there was nothing wrong with it. But where did he get the confidence to use Bai Meiyue and Lei Qian as his assistants? Did he think that he could just order them around as he liked and they would listen to him?

He was either dreaming or had lost his mind.

"Of course, I do know how many people were killed last night, but for the sake of gaining something, some sacrifices are supposed to be made," said Dacheng with a soft smile. He didn’t look the least bit flustered as he looked at Bai Meiyue with his eyes flickering with calculations. "You might be thinking that I am making use of you, but in the end, you have to admit that we are grasshoppers in the same boat."

Last night was one of the most hectic nights that Bai Meiyue had seen in her life. The ability users under Dacheng fought for the entire night. While some lost their lives, some were gravely injured, and yet Dacheng and Lu Yin had not stepped forward to give them a word of praise for their hard work. And they also wanted them to continue fighting; this was bound to backfire. People like Dacheng, who simply saw their goals, could never even think of such things. They were so drunk on the victory that they had forgotten to be grateful to those whose help they had needed to win this battle.

Perhaps Dacheng was thinking about getting those supplies into his hands to feed the ability users that he had taken over. Taking this opportunity to take down Bai Feng, he wanted to take over the ability users as well as the supplies that were under Bai Feng’s control. But according to Dacheng’s model, this won’t be just a one-time thing. From what he was doing, this annexing of the safe zones would be his course of action in the future as well.

While Bai Meiyue didn’t think that there was anything wrong with annexing others, as this had been the course of action in the past as well as the future if someone wanted to grow stronger and more powerful, she just didn’t want to be led by the nose by Dacheng. It was true that she wanted to kill Yu Miaomiao, but she would kill her on her own terms rather than being pushed into the pit by Dacheng, who wanted to use her as a gunman.
