Chapter 131: Too late to back out
Of course, if Bai Feng hadn’t seen Bai Meiyue’s bold actions that night, he would have worried about her just like Bai Xue. But after that night’s venture, he knew very well that Bai Meiyue didn’t need to rely on anyone. She had changed and was not dependent on him anymore.
And it wasn’t that he didn’t want to help Bai Meiyue. If possible, he would have brought supplies for her as well, but last night, when she fed him medicine, Bai Feng heard her cold words. Before he still had some hope that she would let go of the past and return to the Bai family.
Under Chu Xia’s constant brainwashing, he felt that as long as the family was together, they could face anything and even make up for the things that they had done to Bai Meiyue.
But after last night, he didn’t dare to think so anymore. Bai Meiyue had saved his life but she had saved him for the sake of making him owe her a favour. It was clear that she was not going to return and she had no intentions of doing so, and after hearing the disgust in her voice when she talked about Bai Qingshi and the rest of the family, Bai Feng had no desire to force her either.@@@@
In fact, he knew that even if he brought supplies for Bai Meiyue, she wouldn’t want it. She might even find his actions burdensome.
More importantly, Bai Feng was not a man of steel and iron. He was made of flesh!
He was already having enough trouble with looking for supplies for the entire family and now Bai Xue wanted him to look for supplies for Bai Meiyue and her family as well. He really couldn’t do it!
After he finished tying the shoelaces of his shoes, he dragged his dizzy self out of the house. He headed downstairs, where he snuck into the garage and then slid inside the car, where he started to sort his things. He found a silencer in the dashboard of the car and attached it to his gun.
However, once he was done attaching the silencer, he started to once again worry about the future. He didn’t collect ammunition and guns for business purposes; he only did it because he liked to collect guns and stuff.
After many twists and turns, the van came to a stop in front of the Sunshine Deluxe Building.
Once the bus stopped, no one waited for Xiang Mei to speak. The second the door opened, the people inside the van rushed upstairs.
Because Bai Meiyue had cleaned up the building to make it safe for her family, these people did not find a single zombie in their path and happily rushed to the apartment number that Bai Xue gave to them.
Xiang Mei took the lead as she charged upstairs and rushed to the main door of the penthouse. Unlike Bai Meiyue, who had separated the two corridors with an electric door, Bai Feng didn’t have the chance to do so. The little gate that was installed had long been broken by the refugees, leaving no barricade behind.
"Xuexue! Xuexue! Are you in there?" Xiang Mei knocked on the door in a hurry and called Bai Xue.
"What’s going on?" Chu Xia was gnawing on the small milk bun that Bai Feng had brought with him last time when she heard someone call for Bai Xue.
She turned to look at her daughter and asked, "Did someone come looking for you?"
When Bai Xue had agreed to give Xiang Mei a place to rest and stay, she didn’t think things through. However, after calming down, she realised that her little plan had many flaws. However, she had already invited Xiang Mei and couldn’t send her away. Even if it was the end of the world, she still wanted to keep her reputation as a kind and gentle woman intact.
She smiled at her mother and explained in a calm voice, "Mom, don’t think too much. If we have more people, don’t you think our chances of surviving will get higher as well? We can join forces together to deal with those monsters."
Though she said that, she didn’t forget to ask Chu Xia to hide their supplies well. After all, Bai Xue never planned to share her supplies with others.
