Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 267: Caught
When Lu Yin saw Dacheng climb up the stairs, she was stunned. She immediately pulled him back and asked him, "What do you think you are doing? Just stay here and take a break."
How was Dacheng supposed to tell Lu Yin that he didn't want to stay with her and the rest of the non-ability users? It made him feel like less of a person and he didn't want to feel this kind of feeling ever again. When he was living in the village, he could only watch others leave and find all kinds of respectable jobs.
While he was asked to stay behind by his family.
As he was the youngest, his parents wanted him to live with them and take care of them in their old age. Thus, Dacheng had no other option but to grit his teeth and agree. Even when he wanted to go to the town like his big brothers, he wasn't allowed to do it.
And when his brothers returned home, they would often boast in front of Dacheng, making him feel like he was not good enough because he was the only one staying at the village along with a few thugs or children.
That kind of feeling, he would rather not feel it again.
However, he still controlled his temper and smiled at Lu Yin before saying to her, "What else? I am going upstairs to keep an eye on things. You wouldn't want others to take advantage of this opportunity, right?"
After staying with Lu Yin, Dacheng had more or less understood her thinking process. Thus, as soon as he finished speaking, he knew that he had convinced Lu Yin. sure enough, a second later, he heard Lu Yin say with a serious expression, "You are right, we need to keep an eye on things upstairs."
She was worried that Bai Meiyue would take advantage and do something that would only strengthen her and Lei Qian's relationship.
When Dacheng heard her words, he softly chuckled before turning on his feet and rushing upstairs. Even though the stairs were still very hot, Dacheng gritted his teeth and continued to rush upstairs because this was his first obstacle to becoming an invincible person. Only by getting stronger, would he be able to surpass others!
Thus, ignoring the burning and stinging sensation on the bottom of his feet, he climbed upstairs.
When Dacheng rushed upstairs, he saw the giant water serpent slithering in front of a small room. Every time a zombie staggered in front of the room, after escaping from the departments that were being cleared up, the serpent would slowly rise in the air and take aim at the zombie, melting it in a puddle of a dark blob.
Seeing the water serpent collecting the crystal nuclei, Dacheng was filled with a hint of envy. How great it would have been if he had a skill like that. One single move and he would clear half of the zombies.
However—
He turned his head left and right and wondered where everyone went. If Bai Meiyue's water serpent was here, then those two women must be here as well. The question was, where did they go?
Inside the room that was being guarded by the water serpent, Bai Meiyue was lying on a small table, with her legs spread apart and her eyes closed as she flicked her fingers every once in a while to kill the zombies.
Though the water serpent could make even more skilled moves, Bai Meiyue didn't make the mistake of letting it lose control. The last thing she wanted was to lose control of her familiar. Thus, she let the water serpent stay where she was —this way the connection would remain strong enough for her to see what was going on outside.
On the other hand, Shen Zhen was picking up the ultrasound machine that had been thrown on the ground by people or zombies.
"I cannot understand why they had to create chaos in the hospital like this," Shen Zhen sighed as she placed the large screen on the table; before tentatively wiping the screen. She was glad that though the machine was hurled on the ground, it was not broken.
She was filled with quite a lot of regret. How could she not? These instruments were not something that could be just found at every shop or mall. They were especially ordered and purchased by the hospitals. Every hospital used millions to buy these instruments and in the end they were thrown in the corner like this without a care.
How could Shen Zhen not feel a bit aggrieved? When she first started working at the hospital where she was assigned a new job, she had to write more than hundred applications before she could purchase a new machine. Now the same machines were thrown here and there carelessly.

Shen Zhen sighed and then turned on the power back up that was at the back of the room and then connected the machine with it. Once she was done, she turned on the machine and squeezed out the gel, which she smeared on Bai Meiyue's belly.
The cooling sensation made Bai Meiyue shiver but she didn't move away as Shen Zhen placed the head of the device on her belly and started rolling it around on her slightly bulging belly.
Soon, a black-and-white image appeared on the screen. Even though it was not quite clear, Bai Meiyue could make out the small bean inside of her.
The second her eyes fell on the tiny bean, her eyes softened and she turned to look at Shen Zhen before asking, "Can you print this for me?"
In the past, she despised Xiao Cai at the beginning so much that she even beat her own belly in hopes that the child would be gone. After all, she was not only young— thought that the child belonged to that old pervert whom her father arranged for her.
Not to mention, she was often treated as a burden by the team even though she worked the hardest just because she was carrying a child. Because of all kinds of circumstances, she didn't like Xiao Cai at first.
Now that she had another chance, she wanted to dote on her child from the start. One day she would tell her Xiao Cai that she loved him very much.
