Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 417: Face Off
Bai Meiyue heard the old woman's words and frowned. She turned to look at Lei Qian through the windscreen of the car; she could see his ashen face as he glared at the screaming old woman. Little flames could be seen burning in his eyes. However, he didn't say anything to the old woman and turned to face the soldiers who were pointing guns at the middle of his forehead.
Even though he was surrounded by snipers, his expression was rather calm. He faced the entire army with a fearless attitude and smiled. "Please forgive my grandmother. She sometimes throws unreasonable tantrums." he paused and added in a subtle whisper, "Her head is not in the right place, but she is a truly good woman." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Lei Qian!" Grandma Lei was stunned when she heard the words of her grandson. It was one thing that he never showed any respect to her behind closed doors, but it was another thing that he was not even showing the adequate respect he should have shown to her in front of others.
Lei Qian ignored her. With a bloody and cruel expression, he put his hands behind his back and took five steps forward. The soldiers following Yu Miaomiao raised their guns and aimed at Lei Qian. They were prepared to shoot Lei Qian at the smallest move made by him but—
"AHH!" One of the soldiers dropped his gun as the metal body of the gun became too hot for him to hold. He looked down at the rifle that had fallen on the ground and stiffened when he saw the rifle turning into a puddle of nothing but a blobbing and frothing mess.
And he was not the only one. The rest of the soldiers also dropped their guns on the street one by one. All the rifles became too hot for them to hold, and they couldn't help but drop them.
When Yu Miaomiao saw Lei Qian's actions, she took a step back and looked him in the eye before saying, "You cannot kill me; this will be against the laws of the base."
"What's the matter? Now you are suddenly afraid? Didn't you have quite a lot of guts to corner me? What happened now? Don't tell me that you don't have the courage to fight with me? You were the ones who put the gun to my head, and I didn't even say anything. What are you afraid of now?"
As they drove closer, Bai Meiyue could see that in the car behind Lei Qian, two men were huddled inside the car along with a rather beautiful woman, and next to them was an old man who seemed to be unconscious, which was not surprising, considering the old man was gravely injured.
Bai Meiyue frowned when she looked at the condition of the old man and then turned to look at Lei Qian, who was standing in front of the car. Her gaze flickered to the young man, who was hiding inside the car without coming out. When she saw the similarities between the young man and Lei Qian, Bai Meiyue knew that this man was his cousin.
She narrowed her eyes when she saw Lei Wu hiding in the car.
Wan Guofu stopped the car right behind Lei Qian and stepped out. He flexed and rolled his shoulders before rushing to stand behind Lei Qian. If these soldiers thought they could scare Lei Qian off with their numbers, then they were certainly wrong!
Yang Chunhua and the rest also followed suit. They came to a stop behind Lei Qian while looking at the soldiers who were surrounding Lei Qian.
Bai Meiyue stayed inside the car for a while before stepping out as well. She walked towards Lei Qian at a slow and controlled pace. Even though she was facing an entire enemy, her moves were unhurried as if she were not scared of anything.
At one glance, Bai Meiyue knew who was wrong and right in this situation. It seemed like Yu Miaomiao had been on the lookout for Lei Qian ever since she found out about his identity and rushed to hold him down. However, with Lei Qian's cold and arrogant personality, where he didn't take anyone seriously, Bai Meiyue knew that the man must have refused at once.
She turned to look at Yu Miaomiao, who had come to meet Lei Qian on her own, and questioned, "Can I know the reason why you have intercepted my team member like this?"
She knew that Yu Miaomiao was attracted to Lei Qian's ability as well as his good looks. To make things worse, Lei Qian had brought a lot of supplies with him. Yu Miaomiao, who had already promised a lot of benefits to the ability users, must be feeling a bit greedy regarding these supplies.
"I was just telling this young man the benefits of joining the base." Yu Miaomiao was not a fool; even though she knew that she had already recruited a lot of ability users, they were no match for Bai Meiyue and Lei Qian. These two were enough to kill the entire army of ability users she had.
She turned to look at Lie Qian and added in a subtle voice, "It seemed like he misunderstood my intentions."
Bai Meiyue nodded. She was not quick to tear off Yu Miaomiao's face because she knew that in the future, they had to be very careful with this woman. She said, "Since he had refused, then I guess we don't need to discuss this matter anymore?"
Yu Miaomiao only smiled. She then turned to look at Grandma Lei before saying to her, "It seems like your grandson doesn't understand the situation as clearly as he should." Yu Miaomiao glanced at Bai Meiyue and Lei Qian with a cold and calculating look. In her eyes, Lei Qian was only acting headstrong for the time being.
With an injured grandfather, he would have no other choice but to accept the help and resources that she was giving him.
It was just a matter of time.
