Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459: A Thief’s Begging.

"Isn’t that stupid?" Bai Jixuan frowned and questioned. "Shouldn’t they deal with this trouble when it’s still gaining momentum?"

Bai Zhan shook his head. He was sometimes surprised by how naive his brother was. He sighed and patiently explained, "You are wrong, Brother. The base has been established on the promise that it has been made safe for the survival of the survivors who have no power or skills. The reason people support and stand for the base is that they feel that they are being protected."

"What if they find out that the very reason they joined the base was false? Wouldn’t it shake up the trust and belief that they have in the base? That would be troublesome."

After he finished speaking, Bai Jixuan pursed his lips. He sat down on the couch and muttered, "I wonder what makes people trust them more than us? We treat our members better than the base, and yet they are running to the base."

Bai Meiyue frowned when she heard Bai Jixuan’s response. She couldn’t help but ask, "Who ran to the base?" Did someone leave when she was not paying attention?

"Its Wang Ba." Bai Jixuan didn’t confront that man, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t hate him for betraying them. When Bai Jixuan thought about how they were working in the greenhouse just a few days ago, laughing and joking with one another, he felt like he really didn’t know Wang Ba.

Bai Zhan frowned. But he didn’t seem too shocked or hurt. He simply said, "It’s fine; since he wants to leave, then let him leave. Anyway, who would want to work in the greenhouse all day when they are being tempted with the temptation of becoming an official?"

Bai Meiyue, on the other hand, scowled. When she thought about the honest-looking Wang Ba and the number of meals that he had eaten at her house, her mood couldn’t help but sink. She thought about how she thought she knew Wang Ba but it seemed like even after going through the apocalypse, she was still a bad judge of character.

Though she had expected to be betrayed, she never expected the betrayal to come from someone so close.

She frowned hard and wondered how much information Wang Ba had handed to Yu Miaomiao in exchange for getting the position as a soldier. She listened to her elder brother telling her not to worry and hummed lightly before taking her leave with Lei Qian.

"You seem worried," Lei Qian said as he took the jacket that Bai Meiyue usually wore and placed it on her shoulders.

Bai Meiyue frowned when she heard his remark. She said, "It’s not that I am worried. I am just wondering how many people will abandon our team and then follow Yu Miaomiao." She was not a sentimental person, but she still didn’t like the idea of her team members stabbing her in the back when she had given them so many comforts.

Lei Qian sighed. He said to her, "There is no point in thinking about such things. Since they have chosen their path, we can only leave them to it. Anyway, people are like this—no matter how much you do for someone, they would still look at the greenery on the other side. Don’t think that you did something wrong; people like Wang Ba are quick to take on benefits."

He had someone like him in his own family and knew them very well.

Bai Meiyue glanced at him. She said to him, "When did I say that I am thinking that I did something wrong? I know that I did nothing wrong, and it’s the human heart that is too hard to understand."

"It’s good that you are this clear-headed." Lei Qian smiled with a hint of relief on his face. "I was worrying about you for nothing."

As the two of them stepped down the last stair of the second floor, they saw a man bowing in front of Shen Zhen.

"Doctor Shen, it has been a while?"
