A Filthy Rich Hamster in the Apocalypse

C62

Without the disturbance of aquatic zombie beasts, the entire voyage was very smooth. Everyone managed to reach the shore before nightfall, which was far less time spent compared to their previous sail to Haicheng.

However, after mooring, everyone had to face another separation. At the same time arose a question of whether Wei Hanming, Bai Yue, and the other scientists wanted to go to the Capital Base or the WuYi Base.

In terms of distance, WuYi Base was undoubtedly the closest to here, but in terms of scientific-research environment, the Capital Base had long been preparing for experimental studies, and almost all the latest equipment was concentrated there. Their research conditions were far better than those of WuYi Base.

Compared to a superior scientific-research environment, WuYi Base’s advantage in distance was completely incomparable. Therefore, from the very beginning, Nie Xiao, Wu Qingfeng, and the others had taken it as a matter of course that Wei Hanming and his fellow scientists should go to the Capital Base, and they had never taken other arrangements into consideration.

However, now that they were confronted with the real time of parting, Bai Yue, the most critical and central figure, took the initiative to show his hesitation and caused a wide divergence in everyone’s initially prepared plan.

Seeing the sky dimming, everyone simply postponed the journey. They then stayed on the coast to rest and entered the big villa Xiao WuYi released, preparing to spend the night slowly discussing the issue of going or staying.

Inside the villa surrounded by a metal fence, everyone gathered in the living room.

Bai Yue stubbornly gazed at everyone, repeatedly emphasizing his wishes and resolutely saying, “I just want to be together with my brother now.”

It was rare for Bai Yue to show such an obstinate and headache-inducing little temper, but with his only blood relative present, everyone felt it was pardonable.

To be honest, even Luo Yunhai didn’t want to be separated from Bai Mei. It would be best if Bai Mei would agree to go to the Capital Base with them.

However, contrary to expectations, Bai Mei was unwilling.

Being stared at expectantly by his younger brother and Luo Yunhai, Bai Mei suddenly fell into a dilemma. Recalling the order the man in black had given him to collect ability cores, he simply couldn’t rashly leave Nie Xiao’s team at present…

Plus, out of selfishness, Bai Mei hoped that Bai Yue and Luo Yunhai could stay far away from him because the closer they were to him, the less it was something to be happy about. If the man in black noticed Bai Yue’s healing-ability core, everything would only become more dangerous.

Bai Mei suppressed these thoughts in his heart and looked at his younger brother with reluctance, then also swept a glance towards Luo Yunhai beside him. With a rare stern face and a slight frown, he said, “Little Yue, don’t make a fuss. Follow Major General Wu and his group, and go to the capital. You’re already a grown-up!”

“No, you have to go with us! I don’t want to be separated from you now. I’m only sixteen years old, so you have to be my guardian!” Bai Yue was resistant and unwilling as he said this. Before the apocalypse, this genius teenager was able to rush to Haicheng alone to participate in a scientific research conference, but at this moment, he started playing rascal and acting spoiled with a stubborn face.

Facing Bai Mei’s unreasonable veto, Bai Yue couldn’t help but raise his eyes to look at his brother. He was a little worried. He seemed to have keenly perceived something and couldn’t help but grab his brother’s hand and ask with deep concern, “Brother, are you hiding something from us? What are you struggling with? Why aren’t you willing to go to the Capital Base with me?”
