Chapter 40 (1/2)

The trip to the garage was filled with silence. Destruction, signs of fighting and traces of dried blood could be seen everywhere they pa.s.sed by. Since the apocalypse had already started, it wasn't hard to guess what kind of gruesome fighting must have taken place here.

After getting off the car, Bai Jing immediately took the chance to walk around. His skills were so nimble that the people around him only noticed that things were slowly disappearing, and before they knew it, a fully stocked garage had turned into a parking lot. Apart from just a few cars, there was actually nothing else left for the eyes to see.

Liu Wei was shocked speechless: “How much can this dimension hold?”

Bai Jing raised an eyebrow. After they chose new cars, he put the remaining cars along with the ones they had come with straight into his dimension, then lazily said to them: ”Not much, only 180 square meters is left after adding these things just now”

Li Yi couldn’t help but lick his lips as he thought of his own home, which was a 180 square meter apartment with four bedrooms and two living areas. Bai Jing's s.p.a.ce was even bigger than that. It must be said that this ability was just truly splendid.

Bai Jing saw their demeanor but didn't respond. He was well aware that during the early days of the apocalypse, people with hidden dimension abilities were like sweet smelling fruit. The reason why he gave that figure as the size of his dimension was to give everyone a preconceived idea that his s.p.a.ce is fairly large. So that later on, regardless of what he puts in his s.p.a.ce, they wouldn't be suspicious.

Looking at Bai Jing, a funny feeling filled Xiao Sa's heart, slightly improving his previously dreary mood. His kitten had just lied without even batting an eye. However, he understood the reason behind his kitten's words; in his heart, he could sense a subtle hostility and fundamental mistrust from his kitten towards his subordinates.

Over this, Xiao Sa only felt helpless. He couldn't force him to have a different opinion of his subordinates. He was also aware of his subordinates initial att.i.tude towards little Jing, after all, it was because of this that little Jing and he had been separated.

When he thought of his subordinates back at the apartment building, his mood was ruined once again…

His heart was not made of stone. At that time when they had followed him without hesitation, his heart was not unmoved. Nevertheless, he was only a man and not a G.o.d, even if he had awakened mutant powers.

He had taken all those people with him to the apartment building, but this couldn't prevent his subordinates from mutating, neither would it prevent their families from mutating.

Considering the circ.u.mstances that they were confronted with, what alternatives did he have? To be honest, n.o.body had believed him. Even if he was the boss, he had shot and killed his subordinates, killed their close relatives, and locked up the wounded. Although his actions were proper and justified, no one understood them. In the past few days, he had not gotten a wink of sleep or rest. Truth be told, he was extremely tired…

The group of people quickly returned to the apartment building. Bai Jing caught sight of the security systems installed at the gate and secretly glanced at Xiao Sa. Installing all of this must have used up a lot of effort. In the early days of the apocalypse, so long as one had enough supplies, one would only live in such a place temporarily, and therefore would absolutely not be concerned with the security of the location. Before, Xiao Sa had mentioned that he wanted to leave, but would he really be willing to part with such a place?

Even before he could voice his doubts, the mechanism for opening the gate switched on. Bai Jing quickly understood why, as a 50-year-old woman rushed out crying and screaming curses: ”Xiao Sa, may you suffer a thousand cuts, with your conscience that has been eaten by dogs.  Do you think it was easy for my son to risk following you? You have already killed his father and now you also put him in lockup, you must be tired of living ah! Why don't you also have me killed so I can reunite with my late husband? You, if you don't give me an explanation today, then I will die here where I stand…”

”I’m sorry brother, I didn't expect that she would act this way, let me take her back inside at once.” Li Qiang came over and apologized, but the look in his eyes said otherwise. The hideous hatred lurking in his eyes frightened Bai Jing a little, making him quickly ask: “Xiao Sa, what's going on here?”

Xiao Sa didn't say a word, only letting Li Qiang drag people back inside. In a serious tone, Xie Minhang explained to Bai Jing what had just happened: ”The night of the virus outbreak, Uncle Fang turned into a zombie. By the time elder brother rushed over, Fang Cong had already been scratched. Elder brother shot and killed Uncle Fang, and then locked up Fang Cong. Naturally, Aunt Fang felt bitter after losing two members of her family: one was detained while the other was killed. Since then, each day has been full of chaos. Confronted with such a mother, elder brother can only endure and accept, only saying that nothing can be done. As for Li Qiang, his older brother was also killed by elder brother. At that time, we could all see that if his older brother turned into an undead, then Liang La would be scratched. No one was willing to be the one to come forward and shoot, so elder brother had to be the one to step up. At that moment, Li Qiang just lost it and wanted to fight elder brother like his life depended on it. Although he recovered the next day, people started acting strangely. He must still be hateful over what happened…”

Bai Jing felt slightly distressed for Xiao Sa. Considering the situation he was dealing with, he had done a good job. Even if he was the leader of a criminal organization, he can't control his subordinates' feelings over their families, it was human nature. Also, in light of the virus outbreak, conflict was inevitable.

According to him, Xiao Sa didn't establish this apartment to meet with people. In fact, it had f.u.c.k-all to do with anyone.  So it's strange that he should be blamed for his good heart which is always thinking of his brothers' welfare.

He remembered Yu Yue had said that on the night of the lightning incident, the Burning Flame triad had split up. At that time, his heart was somewhat relieved, thinking that the brothers who were willing to follow Xiao Sa must certainly be faithful. In that case, how can Xiao Sa abandon them now?

“I’m okay.” Noticing that Bai Jing was deeply troubled, Xiao Sa firmly held his hand and said: “I’ll first have someone take you to rest. I'll come back once everything has been completed.”

“Good!” Bai Jing nodded. When it's all said and done, no matter what he decides, Bai Jing would always support him.

Some people were disturbed by Bai Jing's straightforward response, but Xiao Sa just ignored them and indifferently ordered, “Call everyone to a meeting.”

“Brother, do you truly want to leave?” Liu Wei's heart was tight, and he felt like he was about to choke from the pain he was feeling. The situation outside was not good. There was the army and also zombies, and their elder brother wanted to leave at this moment…

Xie Minhang and the others were taken aback. They were not in the same car, so they didn’t know what Xiao Sa had said. He heard Liu Wei shouting and his heart suddenly froze. Only Yang Wenhao remained unmoved by this.

Xiao Sa glimpsed at him, his heart suddenly relaxing. Actually, it hadn't been that difficult to come to a firm decision about leaving. At his core, he wasn't a good man. The burning flame alliance had been going through some tumultuous times, and these people were willing to follow him out. His heart had been moved, so he decided to make a few more preparation on their behalf. Now that they were finally settled down, they should separate at the earliest possible opportunity. This apartment block plus some supplies had been set aside for them. This should be enough to compensate them for their sacrifice.  After weighing the matter in his heart, Xiao Sa concluded that he had treated everyone fairly.

Then, taking advantage of Bai Jing who had let his guard down, Xiao Sa quickly kissed him on the lips and said: “I’ll be back.” Since the sneak attack had been successful, Xiao Sa's mood instantly turned for the better. Without waiting for Bai Jing to reply, he quickly left with several people.

Bai Jing cheeks were flushed red and his heart was annoyed. He fiercely glared at the remaining people and said: “I want to go rest, why don't you lead the way.”

When Xiao Qi heard this, he immediately smiled and gestured for Bai Jing to follow him: “This way please Sao Zi (sister-in-law / older brother’s wife).”

Bai Jing stumbled. Not caring where they were, he raised a foot to kick the former and said: “Get lost! Who is your Sao Zi?”

Xiao Qi quickly dodged. The sight of the shattered wood fragments that had been left behind by the kick frightened him and caused him to break out into a cold sweat. It turned out that the rumors that Sao Zi was extremely fierce and violent weren't the ramblings of a madman. He hurriedly smiled and said: “Young master Jing, don’t be angry, this is how everyone in the family calls you, so I…..”
