CHAPTER 673: LIU CHE : UNFORGIVABLE

She shouldn’t have even asked. Bai Meiyue looked at the fleet of cars that was following her and turned to look at Xiao Wu. "You do realise that I am not leaving the safe base, do you?"

"I know, but Boss Lei said that you are not allowed to leave the mansion without proper security. We are not ability users, so the least we can do is provide you with protection with our bodies. Worst comes to worst, we will shield you like a human shield if the situation calls for it," Xiao Wu said without missing a beat, and Bai Meiyue, who heard his solemn response, felt her heart clench. She only saved Xiao Wu and his underlings on a whim. She never expected them to turn so loyal toward her.

How about giving them crystal nuclei to cultivate? Ciyi spoke to Bai Meiyue when she sensed that her master’s thoughts were going awry. We can help them awaken; that way, they will not die.

Ciyi didn’t know much about the complex emotions of humans, but she did know that if someone died, then humans felt sad. Ciyi didn’t want her master to be sad, so she couldn’t help but suggest the only option that she knew of.

Bai Meiyue sighed while patting the dog in her lap. The little one thought it was simple, but cultivating without a base was not easy; she had sensed that Xiao Wu and the others had really weak spiritual energy, which proved that they would have a rather hard time awakening. But maybe she could indeed try? The last thing she wanted was for them to die. If they died protecting her, then she would really never be able to forgive herself.

She glanced at Meng Suisui behind her and noticed that the woman looked very different from how she did in the past. She was no longer hunchbacked, and her expression was quite calm and serene, like she knew the things were under her control.

Bai Meiyue nodded at the change in Meng Suisui and asked, "It seems like you found out what your powers are?"

"I am still learning, but yes," Meng Suisui replied softly. "I have found the nature of my powers."

She looked quite dissatisfied with the powers that she had awakened.

"Don’t look so down," Bai Meiyue told the woman. "No matter what kind of power you have awakened, as long as you have awakened powers, you are still better than most of the people who are living a life worse than death, all because they haven’t awakened."

Xiao Wu chuckled and agreed with Bai Meiyue. "Boss is right, Miss Meng. Look at me; my strength is beyond average, and every day I am worried that I will die today or tomorrow. You should be happy that you have awakened; at least you will be fine even if you are surrounded by a bunch of zombies."

The gloom in Meng Suisui’s eyes seemed to have disappeared. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Wu before saying, "You will not die. We will protect you."

Hearing her response, Xiao Wu simply smiled. He didn’t dare to take those words to his heart. He was just a little thug; even though he was working hard, he knew that his hard work was nothing compared to the strong ability users. This world was where the strong survived while stepping on the weak. If the situation called for it, would these people really step in to save him? Him who couldn’t even protect himself? He didn’t believe it.

The cars came to a stop in front of the building where Xu Yiyi lived with the rest of the women. Under the shining, amber sun, Bai Meiyue stepped out of the car with Xiao Wu supporting a big umbrella that could block the UV rays of the sun. Because they were stronger than they were in the past, Bai Meiyue had exchanged a special umbrella from the barter system that could block the rays of the apocalyptic sun, and even the sunscreen that she had handed to Lei Qian was bought from the barter system.

As soon as they arrived, a woman dressed in lacy lingerie stepped out of the building. Her eyes swept over the many cars that had come to a stop in front and leaned against the door frame. "If someone knew that you were wasting so much fuel, they would be so angry that they would spit out mouthfuls of blood." Outside, people were fighting every day to get a canister of fuel, and she had even witnessed more than three people die while fighting over a single can of diesel. And here Bai Meiyue was driving the cars as if the fuel were still inexhaustible.

Bai Meiyue glanced at the cars behind her, and her lips twitched. How was she supposed to tell the woman that for her, the fuel was still inexhaustible? After all, she could exchange just some clothes and food supplies with the woman in the nineties, and she, in return, would give her the fuel that she needed, and if that was not enough, she could just spend some jade and get her hands on the fuel from others.

"I have my means." Since she couldn’t tell the truth, she could only make a random excuse.

Xu Yiyi knew that the woman was lying, but she had no proof. She rolled her eyes and pushed herself off the door frame. "Get inside."

Bai Meiyue smiled and stepped inside the building with the supplies that she had brought with her, and asked Xiao Wu to hand over the supplies that they had brought for the women.

"Here, I think you all can cook rice and noodles, right?" Bai Meiyue said to Xu Yiyi as Xiao Wu placed down the sacks of rice and packets of noodles. "If not, then one of you can come and learn how to cook at the mansion. I will pay you the salary of an intern."
