Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 541

Chapter 541: Threatening her Child

"Who is it?" Mother Bai spoke with a frown on her face. She looked at the door and then turned to look at her daughter before saying to her, "Did Ah Qian say that he was going to return today?"

"No," Bai Meiyue replied as she shook her head. She didn’t know where Lei Qian went, but what she did know was that the man didn’t go anywhere close. The pharmacies in the downtown were long robbed by the survivors; thus, he and the rest of the team must have gone somewhere far with Yang Wei.

Naturally, they would not be able to return in a day or two.

When Mother Bai heard that it was not Lei Qian, she turned suspicious, but she still walked over to the door and turned the camera on. When she saw Dacheng and Chief Lin along with Lu Yin standing outside, she frowned and turned to look at Bai Meiyue before saying, "It’s the people from the army. Why did they come here now?"

Bai Meiyue narrowed her eyes upon hearing her mother’s words. She got to her feet and then held her stomach, which was now like a small ball. She knew that there was no point in ignoring the people outside, after all, since they had come to look for trouble; what could she do? Hide? That was not an option.

She could only deal with the trouble that was looking for her.

With her belly covered protectively, she walked over to the door that protected the penthouse, but she didn’t turn off the electricity. She opened the main door but left the grid door intact. Peeking through the mesh, she stared at Chief Lin and the other two people, along with the old men and women who were dressed as researchers.

She thought of the soil that Fox had stolen from her greenhouse and understood what was going on at once.

"What is it?" Bai Meiyue asked through the door.

When Chief Lin saw that Bai Meiyue hadn’t even opened the door and allowed them to enter her house, his expression turned grim. He narrowed his eyes and said to her, "Open the door and let us in."

"I am sorry," said Bai Meiyue with a hint of mockery in her tone. "The men of the house are out, and we only have women at home. We cannot let you and the rest of the men inside when it’s only women, Chief Lin. As men, you should understand our worries of getting bullied, right?"

Of course he was lying. The researchers were here to collect the soil from the Bai family’s greenhouse and then bring it along with them to the base. Though Fox did collect a sample of the soil for them to research, he only brought a little with him. This was all because they were afraid that Bai Meiyue would find out.

However, the small sample was not enough. The researchers deduced that this soil was different from the mutated soil because they couldn’t find any hint of the doomsday virus, but they did find some differences in the soil. Unfortunately, the second they tried to plant a seed in the soil, the organisms within the soil died. This led to another conclusion: the properties of the greenhouse must be different and they needed to study these properties before they could snatch the soil from the Bai family.

Or maybe the entire penthouse before relocating the Bai family.

When Bai Meiyue heard his words, she curled her lips. She knew what they were trying to do. They must have found something different about the soil, but what they didn’t know was that it had nothing to do with the soil but her. The water that she filled the special vat for the greenhouse with had special properties, and together with her mother’s skills and abilities, it helped in the proper growth of the crops.

With no supply of spiritual water, the properties of the soil must have changed, which was why these people came to look for her and were now trying to take over her greenhouse. Simply shameless!
