225 Let’s Go South
“Old Zuo.” He Xing stopped smiling and handed a bunch of keys to Zuo Mingdong. “We left some things for you in our house. Don’t forget to get them. I’ll leave the keys with you. You have to keep them safe, or we’ll be living on the streets when we come back!”
Zuo Mingdong took the keys and gave a military salute. “Okay, don’t worry!”
He Xing raised his hand and tapped his forehead with his long fingers. “See you again!”
Du Yue nodded slightly to Zuo Mingdong as a farewell. The two of them turned around at the same time and walked toward their respective cars.
The lighting facilities outside the base were not perfect, so they could not see the situation in the distance. A few minutes after separating, Zuo Mingdong could no longer see the figures of the two cars. Even though he could no longer see them, he did not leave immediately. He stood there for a long time before he turned around and walked through the base’s gate.
Looking at the keys that He Xing had given him before he left, Zuo Mingdong called Lu Lin over and drove to the courtyard where He Xing and Du Yue used to live. Half an hour later, Zuo Mingdong asked Lu Lin to wait outside the courtyard while he walked into their living room. The scene in front of him left him speechless.
There were exquisite weapons and weapon blueprints everywhere. There was also nutrient solution and its formula, as well as very good seeds and some medicine that was in high demand. Any one of these items could be worth tens of thousands of gold. Zuo Mingdong stared at them for a long time. Suddenly, he laughed and shook his head. “You guys, you’re really not worried that I’ll embezzle!”
He was the only one in the house, and he was just speaking to himself. “I will never betray your trust. Never.”
He would make the best use of everything He Xing and Du Yue had left behind. While they were away, they would definitely improve the construction of the first base so that they would have a more comfortable environment when they returned!
..
An hour and a half after they left the base, Du Yue and He Xing stopped their cars. Du Yue alighted from the car and put He Xing’s car into her interspace. After they got into the armored vehicle, Du Yue put everything that was packed in the car into her interspace. He Xing started the car again after everything was in place.
The comfort level of an armored vehicle was much lower than He Xing’s expensive off-road vehicle. Du Yue stretched her body and adjusted herself into a more comfortable position. She then turned to He Xing. “What if you attract attention by leaving those things behind?”
He Xing laughed teasingly. “You’re worried about me, but aren’t you worried about leaving your things behind too?”
Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. “They’re just some ordinary medicine and seeds. They’re nothing special.”
They were not the only ones in the base who had those things. However, at this moment, no one would show off their wealth. Zuo Mingdong himself was clear about this. After all, no matter what kind of environment one was in, there were still many capable people.
He Xing stopped smiling and said in a serious tone, “Don’t be nervous. When I made a deal with the base, they roughly knew about me. It’s been so long, but there’s been no movement from the base. They’re probably turning a blind eye to it, and they won’t look into it. ”
Du Yue nodded. “That’s good.”
At the mention of the base, Du Yue’s mood was a little low. “I can still remember how excited I was when I first heard the news about the first base opening. At that time, I drove here by myself and thought that if nothing unexpected happened, I would live there for the rest of my life. I didn’t expect that I would leave after only staying for three years. In fact, even the date of our return is unknown. But then again, it’s good to go out and gain some experience. Sometimes, the days in the base are too stable and boring.”
He Xing could not help but laugh when he heard that. “Du Yue.”
“What’s wrong?”
“You left the base only because you wanted to keep me company, right? Just admit it, you like me a lot.”
Du Yue was speechless. After all, the two of them had been together for so long that Du Yue was used to He Xing’s shocking words from time to time.
Du Yue did not continue the conversation and asked, “Didn’t you say that you’d need a few days to modify this car? Where are we parking?”
This was a very important matter, so He Xing immediately put away his joking expression. “The second base is located in Beidao City, which is near the sea. It’s southeast of here. Let’s drive south first and find a quiet place on the road to park the car and modify it. ” In the thick fog, the only way to not get lost was to use a compass.
However, they did not need to hold a compass now because the armored vehicle was equipped with one. They drove all the way south and did not stop until three in the afternoon.
