Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies

Chapter 47: Under Lockdown

On the other side, Lei Qian was staring at the black sky with a gloomy look on his face. He couldn’t help but recall the warning that Bai Meiyue had given to him and his worries started to increase even more. Was there something wrong? Was something going to happen? And did Bai Meiyue know something?

He had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask but as Lei Qian raised his phone, he realised that he had no chance to contact Bai Meiyue. He had no idea what was going on in Cloud City, but the second he entered the boundaries of this land, the network was cut off, making it impossible for him to contact anyone.@@@@

In fact, if not for the fact that he was from the Lei family, Lei Qian was certain that he wouldn’t have been able to enter the city at all. As the security around this city had suddenly strengthened! He knew that something was wrong but Lei Qian couldn’t put his finger on it.

’Never mind, I will just have to wait until I can see Yueyue again,’ thought Lei Qian.

"Master Lei, we have brought the rations that you asked us to."

Lei Qian had taken Bai Meiyue’s last message seriously when she had asked him to stock up on resources. Thus, he had asked his assistant to buy as much food as possible and he had done the same thing at the cloud city as well.

However—

Lei Qian looked at the pitiful amount of rations that the two bodyguards had brought and frowned. He asked, "Is this all?"

"This is all we could find, Master Lei," replied one of the bodyguards uneasily.

When Lei Qian heard the response of the two guards, his expression turned grim. Though the rain had been continuing for more than two weeks, he didn’t think that the situation would turn dire in just a matter of a few weeks!

If he hadn’t travelled here, then with his father’s connections, his family would have never been able to get out of this city.

When Mother Lei heard that the entire city was under lockdown, her expression changed, and she suddenly became worried. She asked her son, "But why—what’s going on?"

Why did the city suddenly go under lockdown?

"I have no idea," Lei Qian could only shake his head and offer a sigh to his parents and sister. "However, since we don’t know anything, we might as well take advantage of the fact that the situation hasn’t turned too bad and get out of here."

He then turned to look at Lei Yan before sneering, "If you dare run away from home once again, I will break your legs. I will see how you will leave the house with your legs broken in half."

Lei Yan knew that her brother was not joking with her and nodded seriously; she no longer dared to make a peep and got into the vehicle obediently without making any more fuss.

Mother Lei and Father Lei also got in the car that seemed to have braved all kinds of storms and didn’t question Lei Qian about why he was in such a hurry.

However, just as they slid inside the car and the bodyguards were about to start the engine —

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Someone started to bang on the window of their car.
