NOVPUBBai Meiyue had not only controlled the survivors but also the supplies, and she did it in such a way that not a single person could steal anything from under her nose, and here? Hehe. It seemed like Bai Xue was only worried about how to get to a new and higher position. She didn't care about what was happening to the survivors.
The more he thought about it, the more Su Hu wondered if his brain had been eaten by dogs in the past. Why did he do such a foolish thing? Why in the world did he go after Bai Xue when he had Bai Meiyue? If he had stayed loyal to Bai Meiyue, then his life would have been a bed of roses at the moment!
However, as soon as this thought came into his mind, Su Hu shook his head. It wasn't his fault. It was all Bai Meiyue. Why did that woman pretend for so long? If she had shown off her confident and bold side to him when they first met, he would have loved her instead of Bai Xue.
It was her fault for acting gloomy in front of him all the time. If she had dressed up and shown him some affection, would he have ignored her and gone after someone like Bai Xue?
'Wait, does that mean that woman deliberately acted like that?' A sudden thought popped into Su Hu's head, and his spine straightened up. Su Hu thought of the sudden changes in Bai Meiyue, and his eyes flickered with a look of unease. The more he thought about it, the more convinced Su Hu became.
He was now certain that Bai Meiyue looked down at him and thus deliberately hid her true self from him. She wanted him to cheat on her such that she would have a reason to dump him.
"That bitch," Su Hu cursed. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"What?" Xiang Mei raised her head and looked at the man. She had heard him speak just now, but she didn't hear him clearly.
"It's nothing," Su Hu smiled at the woman as he took her hands in his and said, "There is no need to worry about such things anymore. Since these people think that they will have a better life after leaving, let them go. These survivors are not our worry; it should be Bai Xue who should be taking care of them." He sighed and then said to Xiang Mei, "If only she were as smart as you, then nothing would have gone wrong in such a manner."
Xiang Mei blushed upon hearing his praise. However, the men who stood behind her rolled their eyes, as they could see what Su Hu was trying to do.
Even though everyone could see that Su Hu was only cajoling Xiang Mei so that he could use her as he wished, Xiang Mei herself couldn't see it. Maybe her eyes were covered with rose-tinted glasses; she only listened to Su Hu's sweet lies and didn't care about anything.
"You praise me too much." Xiang Mei tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear shyly as she said, "But what do you mean that we don't have to worry about the missing survivors?" She was rather confused at Su Hu's indifference.
"Do you remember the soldiers who came to see us a few days ago?" Su Hu questioned, and when Xiang Mei nodded, he smiled at her and said to her, "They promised to give us jobs! The two of them said that as long as you are willing to join the base, they will give a few of us jobs which would be similar to civil servants. Meimei, if you join the base, then the two of us will never have to worry about food and water."
He paused and added, "Not to mention, we will be free from Bai Xue's tyranny."
"Really? Is this really possible?" Xiang Mei was a simpleton. She didn't even realise that there was something wrong with the temptation offered by Su Hu and the leader of the base. She believed what Su Hu said almost immediately without a second thought.
Su Hu sighed inwardly when he saw that the woman had listened to him without any second thought. This was the kind of woman he liked.
Not like Bai Meiyue, who questioned and retorted on every single thing. A woman should be like Xiang Mei, who listened to her man without even batting an eye. A woman who thought and spoke too much was not what a man liked.
"That's right." Su Hu looked at Xiang Mei with a hint of smugness in his eyes. He was quite pleased with the look of admiration that Xiang Mei was showing him. However, this trust was not enough to make the man feel guilty for pushing Xiang Mei into a fire pit. In fact, he explained the entire thing quite happily as if he were handing out alms to a starving beggar.
"The soldiers who came to the house yesterday promised that they would help us settle down. So Xiang Mei, do you want to come with me?"
"Of course." Xiang Mei didn't even hesitate as she agreed with Su Hu almost at once. She smiled at the man and said to him in a slow voice, "I will come with you, Brother Hu. Why would I stay here if you are leaving?"
Anyway, Xiang Mei didn't think that there was anything wrong with joining the army. If only she knew!
A few days passed by just like that.
The entire scenery around the Sunshine Deluxe Apartments had changed. The streets were filled with patrolling guards. Military vehicles could be seen going in and out of the base wall. Because the military had cleaned up the space with the help of its ability users, they could no longer see any zombies and could actually step out of their houses without a worry.
At a distance, the main centre was opened, and the survivors were asked to line up such that they could be given a fitting job after registration.
And next to that, a notice board was also placed.
