Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 708

Chapter 708: Thick skin all the way
Bai Meiyue then turned to leave. Even though Fox was speaking to her with an expression that was more real than the pearls, she knew him long enough to know that the man was lying to her. She felt a bit annoyed, as she knew that the man was making up lies in front of her face, but she couldn’t do anything because Fox was nothing but a rascal. What was the point of reasoning with him when he was not even going to accept what he had done, no matter how much she pushed him?

Even if she brought those thugs out, Fox would simply confront them in a manner where those thugs would pedal back and say that they didn’t even know Fox. This was why he was so confident when he asked Bai Meiyue to bring those thugs out and let him confront them. Bai Meiyue didn’t want to waste her time, as she knew that there was no point. She rolled her eyes and then said to Xiao Wu, “Go and call Xu Yiyi. I heard that she still has some things that she is complaining about.”

Meng Suisui came to her and told her that Xu Yiyi absolutely refused to let them teach her anything. In fact, she had been competing with Meng Qibao overtly or covertly. Many times she went against what Meng Qibao asked her to do, and when she was confronted, the woman sashayed her way out of the quarrel. Apparently, she had become quite a headache for Meng Qibao, who had sent his sister to relay the information to Bai Meiyue and asked her to make the decision for him.

Just thinking about Xu Yiyi and her stubborn attitude made Bai Meiyue’s headache worse. She knew that the woman was way too comfortable in what she did, but the others were not. Especially when she walked around in a lacy nightdress without wearing anything inside it. Tong Huan and many of the women had many complaints about this. Especially when these women walked around the safe zone in the same manner.

The complaints had risen to the point that Bai Meiyue could no longer ignore them, even if she wanted to turn a blind eye to Xu Yiyi and her girls.

“Okay, I will ask her to come and see you,” said Xiao Wu with a nod.

Xiao Wu then glanced at Fox, who was still standing in the same spot with the same helpless expression, and stifled a smile. He then lowered his head and walked away without saying anything. He was very well aware that Fox would not try anything on Bai Meiyue, and even if he somehow managed to try something, Bai Meiyue would deal with him.

“Yueyue, I know that you are angry, but try to understand. It wasn’t easy for me to come here. There are more than three thousand people who are waiting for me to bring back supplies. You have no idea how long they had been starving. I know that I was the one who was in the wrong; I shouldn’t have tried to steal the mutated soil and crops from your mother’s greenhouse. I am sorry; I will slap myself to make it up to you.”

As he spoke, he really slapped himself in front of Bai Meiyue.

Bai Meiyue heard the loud sound of the slap and arched a brow. She looked at the man in front of her and had to re-evaluate him. She knew that Fox was a man who knew when to fold his back; she never knew that he was this smart. To think that he was even willing to slap himself for the sake of getting the supplies from her.

“Yueyue, please… Please help us. Or else we all will die. Do you want us to die? If you want to carry the burden of killing so many people on your shoulders, then you can go ahead and do whatever you like. I mean, I know that I did something wrong, but is it worth starving more than a thousand people for that? The ability users, fine. They will survive one way or another. But what about the survivors? How will they survive without the supply? They need food and water, Yueyue. Are you really going to watch them all die? Yueyue—”

“Oh my god, you are so annoying!”

Bai Meiyue became a bit impatient after listening to the continuous harping of the man. She raised her head and glared at Fox. She said to him, “There is no point in trying to butter me up. The day you decided that you were going to send those thugs to steal my things, you sealed your fate. Anyway, whatever connection we had has been wiped clean with your actions. There is no need for you to call me sister anymore.”

Fox gritted his teeth and insisted, “But those people—”

“Then you can simply purchase the frozen meat that we are selling. You are already aware of the prices, aren’t you?” said Bai Meiyue as she crossed her arms over her bosom and stared at the man with a smirk on her lips. “I don’t think the prices that we have set are unjust.”

“I will buy it. No matter what the price, I will buy it. I have plenty of crystal nuclei for buying meat,” said Fox. He had more than eight hundred ability users; with them in his hands, there was nothing that he feared when it came to purchasing things. Anyway, they had been killing the mutated bugs all this time; thus, they had a lot of crystal nuclei that they could use to purchase the supplies. He didn’t fear a thing!

When Bai Meiyue saw his cheeky smile, she felt her brows twitch. Ordinarily, if there was someone else who was caught stealing from someone’s house, they would be too embarrassed to come and look Bai Meiyue in the eye and yet Fox didn’t care about anything. Even though he was caught and confronted for stealing the soil and crops, he was still thick-skinned enough to come and act coy with Bai Meiyue.
