In all honesty, Dacheng looked down on Bai Meiyue a little. What was that woman trying to do by carrying a child when the world was coming to an end? By letting that child grow in her belly, she was only putting her family, the Lei family and that child in danger.
He couldn’t understand Lei Qian either. If he were in Lei Qian’s shoes, he would have done everything in his power to get that child aborted. Bai Meiyue was a woman; naturally, she could not see things as clearly as a man could. After all, women were emotional fools like that, but what about Lei Qian? Why did he have to let Bai Meiyue have that child? In times like these, at that?
Now look at this. Because of their foolishness, an innocent child’s life would be lost.
However, this had nothing to do with him. The one who was at fault was none other than Bai Meiyue and Lei Qian, who asked them to be stubborn in times like these.

"Argh!" Bai Meiyue dry heaved. With her hands covering her nose, she looked at the dead rat that was being eaten by the white maggots. Yesterday, she had killed a mutated rat that snuck inside her bathing room through the plumbing. She thought that she would throw it away in the morning, as she was too tired.
Who would have thought that the scent of blood would attract these mutated maggots? She looked at the sight and almost threw up. However, Bai Meiyue knew that this was not the time to stand still like an idiot.
She stepped back from the bathing room and closed the door before freezing the space beneath it. She knew that there was no point in trying to kill these maggots with her abilities, after all, in her past life, these maggots had a really shocking reproductive ability, even if she killed them today, more of them would pop out.
After much thought, Bai Meiyue decided to post on the barter system, hoping for a solution. Fortunately, the barter system had never let her down. Just as she expected, it took one of the users less than ten minutes to respond. Bai Meiyue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that someone had replied to her request.
She hurriedly joined the barter and purchased the potted plants that the woman was selling. According to the woman, these potted plants could be used to clear up pests, and they were known for their superb growth, as long as their seeds were planted they would grow up in a week or so and Bai Meiyue knew that with her mother taking care of these potted plants, they would grow up in a matter of hours.
Though Bai Meiyue didn’t know how good these things were when it came to clearing the mutated maggots, the woman had sworn that these plants would do a really good job at clearing pests like them.
She turned to look at Ciyi and said to the little furball, "Though I don’t believe that this thing would work, we can always try." Anyway, that woman had only taken fifty kilograms of brown rice, which was nothing in Bai Meiyue’s eyes, as she had thousands and thousands of rice in her space pocket.
Taking out a little wouldn’t hurt her. What was more, she was a third (gold) level user of the barter system. Unless the woman wanted to get banned, she wouldn’t dare to cheat her.
