Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 217: Cowardly Bravery

Jiang Haidai flinched upon hearing the sudden cry. She turned and looked behind her when she saw a zombie rushing right towards her. The speed of this zombie was faster than the ones that she had dealt with and it was much more ferocious.

Seeing the monster suddenly attack her, Jiang Haidai stiffened but even in the face of danger, her maternal instincts kicked in. she covered her belly with her arm and turned her back on the zombie while hugging her son; she crouched down.

With her eyes closed, she waited for the zombie to bite her to death, but the pain she was waiting for didn’t come. Startled, she raised her head and opened one of her eyes and peeked at the zombie behind her but as soon as she raised her head, she saw Bai Meiyue throwing the zombie to one side.

"What are you waiting for?" Bai Meiyue asked with a raised brow. She looked at the woman who was crouching on the ground and stated, "Get up, or are you going to stay here and become the meal for the zombies?"

Bai Meiyue looked at the woman in front of her and nodded in satisfaction. At least this woman was not a complete waste. Even though her face was covered with red scratches and black smudges, the woman didn’t care about herself; she put her children first.

A woman could be weak but a mother wouldn’t show any signs of weakness when the safety of her child was concerned.

"JIANG HAIDAI!"

On the balcony, a bleeding man ran out of the apartment and looked down at Jiang Haidai. He was looking at her with a look of disbelief on his face. He stared at her as if he was looking at a monster and shouted, "Jiang Haidai, come and save us. You—you can fight these monsters, right? Then come upstairs and help us."

"I will—I will forgive you for the disrespect you have shown me and my family."

Jiang Haidai raised her head and looked at Master Meng with a hateful look in her eyes. She comforted the child in her arms and glared at the man before saying in a loud voice, "Are you crazy, Master Meng? Do you think you are the lord of this land? Have you forgotten what you did to me and my child? Why would I risk my child to save you and your family?"

She hated this man so much that Jiang Haidai couldn’t help but regret it. If she wasn’t in a hurry, she would have beheaded this man and his family.

"You…"

"Stop making a fuss," his wife pulled him back and said to the man, "Look at her; her entire body is covered with wounds. She was scratched by those things; sooner or later she will turn into one of those monsters. What if she comes upstairs and turns into one? Won’t we all die?"

As soon as his wife finished speaking, Master Meng’s heart was shaken and he no longer urged Jiang Haidai to come up.

His wife, on the other hand, turned to look at Jiang Haidai and said to her loudly, "Laugh! Continue laughing; we will see who is laughing once you turn into a zombie."

Hearing her words, Jiang Haidai calmed down and looked at the many injuries on arms, neck and legs. Seeing the many wounds on her body, she stiffened, wondering if she would really turn into one of those monsters.

If she turned into those monsters, what would happen to her children?

"Don’t listen to her," Lei Yan rolled her eyes when she heard the shameless words of the woman. She didn’t have the courage to come down and face her fear; thus, she was scaring others. "You won’t turn into a zombie with just a few scratches. Only when a zombie bites or scratches you with its teeth will you turn into one."

"The virus doesn’t transfer from nails." Lei Yan glanced at Bai Meiyue when she saw that she was not saying anything to reject the woman. She said to her, "You come with me and rest a little. You are pregnant so you should rest more after going through so much." She supported Jiang Haidai and helped her inside the car that she was driving.

"Mom…" Meng Guo looked at his father and then turned to look at his mother.

"Your dad will not hurt us anymore," Jiang Haidai knew that the child was scared. Every time they did something on their own and didn’t ask Master Meng, that man would beat the two of them.

Meng Guo must be worried that if they left without his father, that man would come down and beat them because they went against his orders. Enjoy exclusive chapters from novelbuddy

Only then did the tension in Meng Guo’s body leave. He went pliant against his mother and closed his tired eyes. Just now he cried a lot and was tired.

"Here," Dacheng stepped out of the car and handed the first aid kit that he brought with him to Lei Yan and said to Jiang Haidai, "Let me carry the child; you can treat your injuries."

"That’s right," Lu Yin, who followed him, smiled at Jiang Haidai with a tender look in her eyes. "You are pregnant; you shouldn’t carry anything heavy. Even though the child is small, he is not light."

When Bai Meiyue saw the two helping Jiang Haidai, her brows raised slightly. She had to admit that Dacheng was really intriguing. Just earlier he was mocking her for going soft hearted and saving a child, but now he was the one taking the initiative to show goodwill to Jiang Haidai with such great enthusiasm.

A man with such keen observation and flexible attitude would stay alive for a very long time. Not only would he stay alive, he would live a comfortable life. A few hours ago, he wanted to go against her but now that he realised that Bai Meiyue was the core of the team, he was willing to stretch an olive branch towards Bai Meiyue.

As for how genuine he was, Bai Meiyue didn’t care about it.
