279 The Bond With Wan Dapeng and the Others Is Getting Deeper and Deeper
He Xing patted the back of Du Yue’s hand and consoled her, “She’s a good person. There are so many people who care about her and miss her. She won’t bear to leave. She’ll definitely be fine.”
Du Yue did not know what else she could do for them. She could only nod. “I hope so.”
The night was getting darker, but it was getting noisy outside. The lights in the distance were slowly approaching, and the sound was getting clearer. After listening carefully, they recognized that the survivors were actually being given dinner. Although Du Yue and He Xing were sitting in their car, they could tell what these people were having for dinner after listening for a while.
Everyone got a steamed bun and a portion of water. The water was in a large bucket, and they had to take the container to get it. Even if they could not see the appearance of the bun, just by looking at the people’s starving and skinny appearance, they knew that the bun would not be good. However, there was no other choice. The second base was huge, and there were many survivors. The base was going to bring so many people to the third base, and they had to manage their food and drinks on the way. Besides that, they also had to save some supplies for when they settled down in the third base. Thus, the food that everyone could eat every day was very little.
Du Yue closed her eyes and suppressed her chaotic thoughts. She could not help those people, and she could not solve this problem. The only thing she could do now was to live her life well and not fight with those people for the limited living resources. As for the supplies in her space, she had never thought that she would ever take them out to share with anyone! The supplies in her interspace might be inexhaustible for her and He Xing, but for the millions of people here, they were not even enough to fill their stomachs. If she gave her supplies selflessly, not only would those people not be grateful, but they would even complain that she did not give enough. They would even suspect that she was holding back and question why she could have an interspace. She would be hated. She might even be dragged away by people with ulterior motives to be cut up and studied. Du Yue did not want any of the possibilities to happen. She just wanted to try her best to survive!
After finishing dinner, the outside gradually became quiet. Du Yue and He Xing put down their chairs, and one stayed vigil while the other took a rest until the next morning. Fortunately, although they were fleeing, the prestige of the base was still there, and no one made trouble during the night. In the morning, someone came to distribute food and water. They informed everyone that the road ahead had been repaired, and they would set off collectively in half an hour.
Finally, they could move forward. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Before they set off, Wan Dapeng came to find them. The joy and excitement on his face could not be concealed. When Du Yue saw how happy he was, she knew why he had come. As she expected, when Wan Dapeng saw her, he could not help but get excited. “I gave the medicine you gave to our base’s chief yesterday. Her fever went down this morning and she’s much more awake than before. She still can’t walk, but she specifically asked me to come over to thank you. Don’t worry, I didn’t tell anyone about you giving me the medicine except the chief. Although the people in the base are all our brothers and sisters who have gone through tough times together, the chief and I will keep it a secret just in case.”
Wan Dapeng’s last few words made Du Yue more relieved than expected. Wan Dapeng and Yu Xinya were really rare kinds of people. They were two extremely pure people. After returning to the car, Du Yue still could not calm down for a long time. Originally, it was only because Wan Dapeng had kindly reminded them that Du Yue wanted to help them. Why did it feel like the bond between them was getting deeper and deeper now?
After thinking about it for a while, Du Yue decided not to think about it. No matter what, at least for now, she was not against keeping in contact with Wan Dapeng and Yu Xinya. That was enough. Du Yue knew that He Xing had been watching her while she was deep in thought. She turned to look at He Xing. “Do you have something to say? You’ve been staring at me for a long time.”
“Seeing that you’ve thought it through, I naturally don’t need to say anything. Besides, I don’t like to reason with people.”
Du Yue smiled and teased him. “What do you like, then?”
“Instant rice!” Du Yue was speechless. She had already expected this answer, but it was really unnecessary to ask.
