Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies

He didn't understand how he had offended this ancestor this time around. Lei Qian couldn't help but sob inwardly. He simply didn't understand Bai Meiyue. Sure enough, his father was right; a woman's feelings were like a needle in a haystack. It was simply impossible to find and understand.

Lei Qian was worried that if he didn't distract the woman soon, she might really cut his head off for him. He turned and looked at Bai Meiyue before saying, "I wanted to give this to you last night but I forgot."

Before she could say anything, Lei Qian threw the crystal that he had extracted from the mutated dog at Bai Meiyue who caught it with her hands. Bai Meiyue looked at the crystal nuclei that were extracted from the mutated beast and her eyes flickered slightly.

Though the energy inside the crystal nuclei was rather powerful, it was different from the crystal nuclei that she had extracted from zombies.

When Bai Meiyue sensed the new wave of energy, she didn't rush to absorb it but instead contacted the Barter System. If this crystal nucleus could be exchanged for points, then she was willing to do it. After all, her dual abilities were getting stronger with each passing day and her brothers had also awakened attacking abilities.

They could now extract their own zombie nuclei without Bai Meiyue worrying about them.

However, just as she tried to exchange the crystal nuclei, it was declared as an unfit exchange!

What the hell?

"How can this be unfit? Except for the fact that it was taken from the body of a beast, it's the same thing." Bai Meiyue was speechless when she heard the rejection. Wasn't this system being too picky? Just because the crystal nuclei was not taken out of the body of a beast, the barter system was refusing to take them?

It was differentiating between species!

[Dear Host, The Barter System is willing to exchange anything that could be bartered off between interdimensional species. However, according to the terms and conditions stated by the system, the objects to be bartered off should be exchangeable and useful to the various hosts.]

[The current level of the barter system is too low. We cannot exchange between beastmen and humans. Since trade between beastmen and humans is not open for the time being, this crystal nuclei which has the beast energy, is not useful for the barter system exchange. Thus it is unfit.]

Bai Meiyue arched her brow when she heard the explanation of the barter system. So this was the reason for the refusal? She clicked her tongue. She was also thoughtless. Just because she had never heard the system refuse, Bai Meiyue thought that it would take just about anything.

But from this lesson, Bai Meiyue learned that even the barter system had its own regulations. From now on, she should pay proper attention to such things.

They continued to drive towards the City hospital. Because this hospital was located far from the outskirts where the Sunshine Complex was located, thus by the time they arrived at the city, it was already evening.

The zombies who were hiding in the alleyways slowly started to step out and gather around on the street. Soon, their caravan stopped at a turn where the zombies were gathering. Bai Meiyue was originally sleeping but when the car suddenly stopped, she opened her eyes and looked at the large amount of zombies that had surrounded the street.

She yawned and said, "Get down. It seems like there are a lot of survivors here; zombies only gather in two places. One where high-level zombies are found or two, where the number of survivors is rather high."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Zhan and Bai Jixuan immediately got out of the SUV.

Bai Jixuan turned to look at his sister and said to her, "You can stay inside the car; we can take care of these zombies."

"I am fine, second brother," though his care warmed Bai Meiyue's heart; somewhere she was slightly helpless as well. She was not as weak as her brothers thought. She could also fight these zombies without breaking a sweat.

"Don't worry, Second Brother." Lei Qian undid the safety buckle of his seatbelt and turned to look at Bai Jixuan. "I will keep Yueyue safe. Not that she needs it but I will back her up."

"You—"

"No one needs to back me up." Realizing that the argument was about to escalate, Bai Meiyue sighed and spoke in a hurried voice. "I can take care of myself, so leave me alone."

She was getting tired of the continuous coddling. Bai Meiyue understood that Bai Jixuan was upset and worried about her because of what happened to her before the apocalypse started but she was not as weak as he expected.

Bai Meiyue could face the condemnation of others in her past life; how could she lower her head in this life?

After speaking, she got down the car and then took out the saber sword that she carried with her.

"It's really a cool word." Dacheng looked at the sword that Bai Meiyue was holding in her hands and asked, "Where did you get it, Miss Bai?"

Bai Meiyue turned to look at the man. She calmly curled her lips in a sweet smile before replying, "I don't know. This is something that I was gifted by one of my fans; I have no idea where they got it."

This man is really sharp, Bai Meiyue thought as she looked away. She had to admit that Dacheng really paid attention to things, even if they were of no use to him. From now on, she has to be careful.

Though Dacheng had not shown his ambitions at the moment, Bai Meiyue knew that it wouldn't take time for the man to finally show his true intentions.

She raised the sword in her hands and charged at the zombies, who had already sensed Bai Meiyue and the rest approaching them.

"Hey, where are you going, Miss Bai? You can take care of these zombies with your abilities."
