Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 698

Chapter 698: Weasels and Snakes.
When Bai Meiyue came out of the bathing room, she saw a little black snake curled up in the middle of her room. She arched a brow when she saw that the snake didn’t seem like it wanted to attack her, but from his posture, it seemed like it was actually trying to flatter her. She stared at Ci Yi, who was hissing at the snake and turned to look at the black mamba. “What are you here for?” Bai Meiyue deliberately asked this question because she knew that this snake was actually a sentient being and could understand what she was saying to him.

The black snake tilted its head to one side and then pushed a stone that was the size of a small marble in front of Bai Meiyue.

“Hmm?”

Ci Yi still remembered the Golden Pill that Bai Meiyue had given to the weasel. She sat down on the floor angrily and scoffed, “It must be here for the Golden Pill. he must have seen you giving it to the weasel and realised that it was a good thing and came to ask for more from you.” Ciyi was really upset; she had finally levelled up and started conversing with Bai Meiyue without all the woofs and the whines. Before she could even start enjoying the attention of her host, she ended up getting two rivals.

Bai Meiyue turned to look at the little snake and raised her eyebrows when she saw that the snake actually nodded in response to Ciyi’s remark. She curled her lips and said to the snake, “I don’t hand out golden pills without exchanging anything. If you want the pill, then you would have to exchange something in return for these pills. Tell me, what are you going to hand me?”

When the snake heard that, he had to exchange something. He turned to look at Ciyi and hissed softly.

Bai Meiyue didn’t know what the snake said to Ciyi, but she actually choked. Since when did dogs start choking on air?

“What do you mean by ‘you can exchange the golden pill with rats? Do you think we are lacking that little meat?” snapped Ciyi. But at the same time, she was kind of proud because she knew that her boss was really good. In these times when others were having a hard time surviving and were dependent on rats, her master could bring her fish, meat and chicken to eat. She even mass-produced a drug that could deal with the toxins in the mutated beasts.

When the snake heard this, he tilted his head to one side with confusion in his eyes. His small eyes were full of questions as he looked at the woman in front of him.

Bai Meiyue sighed and resigned herself to explaining the deal to the little snake. “You can exchange the elixir with me if you bring some crystal nuclei to me.” She showed the crystal nuclei to the little snake with a smile on her face. “If you fail, then you cannot get anything from me.”

Hiss.

The snake looked at the crystal nuclei that Bai Meiyue had shown him. After a long time, he nodded to show that he had understood, and then, with a flick of his tail, he turned around and slithered out of the room.

Once he was gone, Ciyi turned to look at Bai Meiyue and said to her, “Mistress, are you really going to let these two follow us? I assure you that I am smart enough to handle everything. You don’t need to bother with these two fools.”

Ciyi was worried that her mistress would start paying more attention to these two brats and immediately objected.

“They can come in handy when we need them,” said Bai Meiyue. She didn’t think that there was anything wrong with those two mutated beasts following her. Anyway, with their sentience so clear, they were bound to come in use someday.

When Ciyi heard Bai Meiyue’s response, she immediately wilted. She wanted to kick those two brats out, but given the attitude of her boss, it seemed like the chances of such a thing happening were close to zero!

Bai Meiyue had no idea that because of her little demand, someone ended up becoming the victim of a rather serious theft!

Master Song had just moved more than three boxes of crystal nuclei in the warehouse and happily stared at the little fortune that he had collected after working hard these past few months. Catching live zombies was not easy, but he did his best, and finally he succeeded in earning more than two hundred million crystal nuclei. These crystal nuclei would give him a little boost for a while now.

“Make sure that no one enters the warehouse other than me,” he said to the guard who was keeping watch. “If I lose even a single crystal nucleus, then you will be the one who will suffer.” Master Song threatened the guard, who was just a little commoner.

“Yes!” The little guard was scared stiff when he heard the threat. Seeing this, Master Song was a little dissatisfied. After all, this man had so little guts. What if he was scared silly by some ability user? Then he would end up losing more than just his little fortune. With that thought in his head, he asked another batch of ability users to guard the warehouse.

After seeing the security level that was guarding the warehouse, Master Song was quite happy, and there was someone else who was just as happy. It was none other than the guard. With so many ability users guarding the warehouse, he didn’t believe that any thief would dare to steal the crystal nuclei locked up in the warehouse.

But neither Master Song nor the guards knew that the one who came to steal the crystal nuclei was not human. The ones who came to steal these crystal nuclei were a bunch of weasels and a black mamba.
