Bai Meiyue sneered when she saw the crowd running away. They wanted to steal but didn’t have enough guts; it was a clear example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
Behind her, Mother Bai was stunned when she saw the actions of her daughter. She truly did not expect such a thing to happen.
When Bai Meiyue told her that she had a way to deal with these people, she never thought that Bai Meiyue was going to deal with them so violently!
"Yueyue, this—"
"Mom, I know that you are worried but you need to understand that the situation is not right at the moment." Bai Meiyue knew that her mother was worried that those people would file a complaint against her but with the entire city almost flooded, would the police even bother with them?
Not to mention, if she was not wrong, then the information about the receding ocean must have already reached the authorities. With so many things happening at the same time, would the authorities care about theft and threats?
Mother Bai pursed her lips and wrung the rag in her hands worriedly. "But Yueyue, they all live in the same building as you. If you attack them like this, what if they become hostile to you?"
"Then let them become hostile to me, Mom." Bai Meiyue’s eyes flashed with a fierce glint. The end of the world was coming; who was afraid of who? She turned to look at her mother, who was obviously concerned and placed her hand on her mother’s shoulders.
She comforted her mother, "Mom, there is no point in acting polite with people like them. Do you think that if I were to treat them with courtesy, they would leave me alone? No! The condition outside is really bad; the city is flooded and there is an unknown virus spreading in the city. No one knows what’s going on."
"With the current situation, I am afraid that these people will do anything. Its better to deal with them from the start lest they start having thoughts that may prove fatal to us."
Once she finished speaking, she turned to look at her two elder brothers and asked them, "Elder Brother, Second Brother, will you cooperate with me? The heavy rain has turned into a flood and we need to collect some supplies; we cannot just sit inside the house and eat."
"I purchased a rubber boat a few months ago; we can use it to brave these waters for the time being."
Though she had a lot of supplies, she could see that her mother and two elder brothers still had some compassion left in their hearts. Unless she brought them outside and let them see what was going to become of the world, Bai Meiyue was worried that they would not understand the severity of the situation.
Back in the apocalypse world, she was worried that Bai Cai would be affected by the doomsday virus or he would get hurt; thus, she kept him away from harm’s way and protected him fiercely, making her son rather naive and innocent.
Which was totally wrong!
