Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 411: Princess Syndrome
When Chu Xia saw Bai Feng's disheartened attitude, she panicked. She turned to look at Bai Xue anxiously and said, "What do you think you are doing, Xue'er? Think before you speak a little." She then motioned to Bai Qingshi and asked him to chase after Bai Feng.
Bai Qingshi was also a smart man. He got up from the couch and chased after Bai Feng, but his son was way too fast. He didn't even listen to what he had to say and disappeared down the stairs. Seeing this, Bai Qingshi had no other choice but to resentfully return to the apartment.
As soon as he stepped inside, he heard his wife say to Bai Xue, "And what's going on with you? Why are you arguing with Bai Feng? Have you forgotten that it is Bai Feng who goes out every day to collect supplies for our families and the survivors you took in? It's already clear that he is not happy with the extra supplies that he has to collect. So why are you pushing him so hard?"
Chu Xia was really going crazy; she was not asking for much from her daughter, but she hoped that the latter could at least understand that the situation was not as it was in the past. How could she do something so silly as breaking Bai Feng's heart?
However, she was not used to admonishing Bai Xue; thus, her voice was way too soft and thus, Bai Xue didn't take her mother seriously. She rolled her eyes and said to her mother, "Mom, you might think that I am being rude to Brother Feng, but I am only looking out for myself and our family. You might think I am being selfish, but I have no choice!"
"Just take what happened the last time."
Recalling the things that happened in the past, Bai Xue felt like her heart was getting filled with hatred. Those supernatural beings that Bai Feng collected with the rest of the team were really hard to get along with. They didn't even listen to what she had to say and treated her like a beggar.
In the past, she could snatch the supplies from Bai Feng as she liked and wanted, but ever since those ability users came to the team, it was impossible to even take out a bag of chips without a proper reason or permission from Bai Feng.
Even the survivors had a few complaints with her.
They were obviously from the same team. Why did they need Bai Feng's permission to get the supplies that were supposed to belong to the entire team? However, ever since the ability users started controlling the supplies, they controlled them so tightly that it was nearly impossible to get out even a single piece of bread from them.
And when Bai Xue went to question them, a few of the ability users sneered and told her that if she wanted to get supplies, then they needed to give something in return.
When she asked them what they needed, they actually said that she needed to either bring crystal nuclei or sell their bodies!
She was Bai Feng's sister, and yet those bastards dared to say that she needed to sell her body!? How could those dirty thugs dare to take advantage of her? However, when Bai Xue was not paying attention, it had become quite a normal phenomenon.
A bunch of women had already exchanged their bodies for just a few pieces of bread. Bai Xue didn't know that this was how the world was going to look in the future. She was thoroughly disgusted by such practice, and it made things worse when she knew that her mother came from a place similar to a red-light district.
Thus, these activities only made Bai Xue even more annoyed.
She couldn't help but feel that those ability users were too dirty. Thus, she rushed to Bai Feng and told him about the good things that his subordinates were doing. She thought that Bai Feng would put a stop to such activities, but he actually told her that his subordinates didn't push the women into selling their bodies.
They were doing it willingly.
When Bai Xue heard his indifferent words, she was stunned, as she had never thought that Bai Feng would say such words. And was really disappointed in him.
What she never took into consideration was that the women that she had taken under her wing were indeed rushing to offer themselves to the ability users. While some did it in the hope of getting a backer, the others did it to fill their bellies.
Since they were willing, who was Bai Feng to stop it? Anyway, he knew that these women were not only cowardly but also really useless. They wanted nothing more than to stay inside the safety of the four walls and get something to fill their bellies.
They had no problem selling their bodies. It wasn't as if his subordinates were going around seducing them; those women were the ones who came to their doors and asked his subordinates to sleep with them in exchange for a few supplies.
But that was not how Bai Xue saw things. She thought that Bai Feng was not supporting her and was treating her way too casually. She was his sister; what was wrong with her trying to control the supplies that her brother brought with him?
And those women! How long would they do something so disgusting as selling their bodies for a few morsels of food?
Bai Feng didn't find anything wrong with those subordinates forcing those women; what if one day those ability users tried to make a move on her? She was also a burden in Bai Feng's eyes. What if that man ignored her? What would she do then?
She couldn't allow such a thing to happen.
Bai Xue still saw herself as the princess of the Bai family; thus, she was not willing to do something so shameless. So, until she found Master Huang, Bai Xue was determined to find another backer.
