Chapter 793: Rising Troubles (II)
Bai Meiyue did not believe that Bai Xue would ever be able to learn her lesson. That woman was not only stubborn but also petty. She was the kind of person who would blame everyone but herself. Even if she were the one who ran amok, Bai Meiyue knew that she would never blame herself for the trouble that she had caused. If anything, she would blame Bai Feng for not doing his best to protect her.
She glanced at Lu Xinran and smiled at her. "You’d better think things through, or else who knows, maybe Bai Feng might really die." Of course, she was just scaring these two. Bai Feng had Xiang Mei with him. Even if he were hungry, he could have had that woman arrange something for him; as for water, Bai Feng had always been resourceful. Since he dared to stay behind, he would naturally not die.
"Bai Meiyue, are you really going to ignore the life and death of Leader Feng?" Lu Jingguo couldn’t believe that Bai Meiyue was actually ignoring such an important matter. Clearly, the two of them were siblings; even if they were not related to one another, they were still bound by blood. Bai Feng also helped Bai Meiyue countless times, and yet the woman was turning a blind eye to his plight?
"Lu Jingguo, you need to use your conscience before you speak." Bai Meiyue’s face turned cold as she looked at the man. "It’s true that Bei Feng has helped me countless times, but I have repaid him as well. If not for the fact that I helped him, he would still be putty in the hands of Yu Miaomiao. If you want to blame someone, then you need to blame Bai Xue. She was the one who caused Bai Feng to be trapped there in the first place. I am Bai Feng’s sister, not his mother. Do you expect me to take care of him every time he acts foolishly?"
It was true that she owed Bai Feng, but she had repaid him after putting everything on the line this time. If the man still thought that it was not enough, then there was nothing that she could do. Ignoring Lu Jingguo, she turned around on her feet and walked back to the manor. She still had many worries. The zombie king would naturally not trouble Bai Feng. Even if the man was a high-level ability user, he was only one person. The zombie king would never waste his energy on a single prey.
Bai Meiyue was certain that he would come to look for them and needed to hurry up with the preparations.
She had no time to waste with Lu Jinnguo.
When Lu Jinnguo saw her leave, he wanted to stop her, but before he could, he was stopped by Lu Xinran. She looked at her brother, who was still clinging to the hope that they could use Bai Meiyue and sighed. She said to her brother, "Stop it, Brother Jingguo. If you push Bai Meiyue anymore, then she will really break things off with us. Isn’t it good enough that she is willing to listen to us? She is right. She has helped us as much as she could; we cannot ask her to do more. Don’t be ungrateful."
"But the leader—"
"Sister Meiyue has already told you the ins and outs of the matter; even if we want to blame someone, we can only blame Bai Xue. Anyway, the leader is not foolish; he will survive."
Lu Jingguo knew this, but at the same time, he couldn’t help but be dissatisfied with Bai Meiyue.
He was not the only one. The wave of dissatisfaction with Bai Meiyue had slowly started to grow in the safe base as well. In a small manor in the outer area of the safe base, a naked woman was lying on a coffee table with two men violating her.
This woman was none other than Meng Anzhi.
The men around the table watched it happen without batting an eye, as if it were something that happened almost all the time. One of the men around the coffee table sucked a mouthful of cigar smoke before exhaling it in the air and said to the others, "How long is it going to be like this? I have heard all about the treatment of users with special abilities. The people in the other safe bases treat them with respect and honour, and they even give them special privileges. But what about us?"
"Isn’t that right? I would have understood it if we were low-ranking ability users, but we are not. It’s okay for them to work like little labourers, because that is all that they can do. But what about us? We are high-ranking!"
"Why should we have the same treatment as them? There is no extra meat, no fine wine and no women. We cannot even play with women if we want, unless a woman comes to sell her body, like her. Is this the kind of life we need to live?"
"In the end, it is all because of Bai Meiyue. Because a woman is leading this safe base, she has created all kinds of nonsensical rules and regulations. She has no foresight. We are superior to ordinary human beings; of course, we should be the ones making the rules. Was there anything wrong with using the women as we want?"
"It’s nothing but nonsense. A woman has long hair but short knowledge. Of course, she will make stupid rules – to think that she actually wants us to work in exchange for getting crystal nuclei. It is good enough that we are willing to live here. Why should we work for her?"
"She even took those disabled bastards in her safe base today. What was the point of bringing these burdens to the safe base? They will only drag them down. She should have killed them when she still had the time! If not for the fact that this safe base has everything, I wouldn’t want to stay here."
