Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 758: Waving Vine (II)

And he was not the only one who was looking for resources. Fox also moved, but instead of moving away from the mutated bugs, he and his team started to move along with the wave of zombies. He wanted to collect the crystal nuclei to purchase weapons and supplies in the future. Thus, while they were moving toward the centre of the city, the rest were trying to move away from the centre.

A few hours passed, and the day slowly turned into night once again. By the time the clock struck midnight, the thick wooden bridge had grown, but with the lack of crystal nuclei, she couldn’t make the bridge grow any further and in the end, they decided to curl the bridge around the nearest building. However, the building was not as tall as the one where Bai Meiyue and the rest of the team were staying. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But what terrified them was the number of zombies that had gotten worse with each passing second. The number had become so frightening that even looking at it directly made their spine go numb with fear. Bai Meiyue’s sharp gaze easily identified more than ten level three zombies among the one- and two-ranked zombies. The number of ordinary zombies was less than that of the high-ranked zombies.

Seeing the chaos happening, Bai Meiyue pursed her lips. It seemed as if they didn’t come up with an idea soon, then they would be staying in this place for a long time. And she didn’t have the liberty to wait till then. If she waited for this wave to pass away, then she was worried that she would put her child and herself at risk.

What was more, there was no movement from the building where Lei Qian was at the moment and that only made her even more worried. She could see that there were movements from the other side, but it wasn’t Lei Qian who was making a move. It was the ability users under his control. It seemed like they were hunting for crystal nuclei, and the fact that they were hunting for crystal nuclei. And the fact that they were so desperate for crystal nuclei meant that there was something wrong.

But Bai Meiyue’s stomach was too big for her to start using her powers to their full extent. She couldn’t stand on her feet for a long time. She had to care for Xiao Cai; if she dared to use her power and her ability to its max limit, then she might put her son at risk. But at the same time, she was worried about Lei Qian and wanted to finish the ice bridge as soon as possible. Going to see what happened to Lei Qian, but not being able to—this was a different kind of torment.

So Bai Meiyue continued making the ice bridge between the two buildings; however, when her stomach started to cramp, Bai Meiyue had no choice but to lie down and sleep. After one morning and another night that passed, the ice had only thickened just a bit, but with the summer heat, it couldn’t hold on for a long time and started melting. In the end, Bai Meiyue had no choice but to create some arched pillars underneath the bridge. She couldn’t let the bridge fall if this thing fell when they were using it to finish their operation. She was worried that if the bridge collapsed, then they would end up getting buried in boulders of ice.

Because Bai Meiyue had been trying to keep the bridge from collapsing, she had been overexhausting her abilities. Fortunately, Shen Zhan and Meng Suisui were helping her by collecting the crystal nuclei. If not, then she would have collapsed long ago. She estimated that with her physical condition, this bridge could only be finished in three or four days. It was necessary to ensure that the ice wouldn’t melt, so she had to embed more and more spiritual energy within the ice bridge.

But with her condition, she couldn’t embed anymore spiritual energy.

"Ugh."

"Are you okay?" Bai Meiyue asked as she looked at Shen Zhen, who was standing behind her. Looking at the woman who had gotten pale due to her sickness and frowned. "Are you sure that you are throwing up because of gas issues?"

Shen Zhen had been throwing up for a while now. She had woken up in the night and thrown up, and she had also thrown up at noon. And now she was throwing up once again. Seeing her reactions, Bai Meiyue wondered if Shen Zhen was carrying Lu Yi’s child. But if she were pregnant, then she would have known it before Bai Meiyue. After all, she knew gynaecology more than she did.

However, even though Bai Meiyue was not aware of what was happening, she still shared a lot of her dried food with Shen Zhen. Even if the woman was not pregnant, it was better to be cautious. What if she were? It was better for her to feed Shen Zhen properly; lest there was indeed a child in her belly, it wouldn’t get weak like her son. After all, a pregnant woman needs to ensure the safe birth of her child. She and Bai Meiyue could not just eat some steamed buns.

With Bai Meiyue working hard, she was somehow able to make the bridge cross past more than half the length that she wanted to create. Bai Meiyue looked at the bridge that was half finished, and she heaved a sigh of relief. At least she had somehow managed to build the ice bridge. Even if it was half finished, as long as she worked hard for a few more days, she would be able to finish the ice bridge.

Just as she was about to continue her work, she saw a thin vine slithering on the ice bridge. When she saw the vine slithering on the ice bridge, Bai Meiyue frowned and raised her head to look at the source of the vine that was running amok on her bridge. As she raised her head, she saw —
