I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse - Chapter 299

299 It’s Useless to Act Cute

Du Yue gave Xinya a comforting smile. “Sister Yu, don’t worry. He Xing knows this very well, so he can’t be wrong.”

Yu Xinya subconsciously looked at He Xing when she heard this.

He Xing nodded without any embarrassment. “Yes, I know these mechanical things very well.”

“But you don’t have to buy an extra one. We all live in the same courtyard, so you can just use ours! Hurry up and cancel this order!”

!!
Du Yue smiled at her. “Sister Yu, you’re right. Since we all live in the same courtyard, you can use ours, so don’t buy another one.”

Yu Xinya was speechless.

Even if she did not know what Du Yue meant at first, she understood after hearing these words.

Du Yue bought the water pump not for herself and He Xing but for the other people in the base. Looking at Du Yue’s determined eyes, Yu Xinya had no choice but to compromise. “Alright, we’ll do as you say!”

Du Yue was very happy that Yu Xinya had agreed. She turned to the staff. “Do you sell water towers here?”

“We do!” The staff member had seen many people before, so he could tell that Du Yue and He Xing must have some savings in their pockets even though it had not been long since they entered the base.

After all, He Xing was so generous when he picked up the items and paid for them with Du Yue. It was obvious that the two of them were a generous couple who did not lack money! Who would not like such a customer? The well-digger, who was watching from the side, also came back to his senses at this time and immediately led them to another room.

When they entered the room, Du Yue saw that there were many water towers of various sizes. The quality of the water towers was almost the same. The only difference was their capacity. They had a lot of people, so they definitely had to choose something with a large capacity. Du Yue decided to buy one small one and three big ones after looking around. She and He Xing would use the small one, while Yu Xinya and the others would use the three big ones.

However, this time, Yu Xinya was faster than Du Yue. Before Du Yue could speak, Yu Xinya walked in front of her and asked the well-digger, “How much are the largest and medium-sized ones?”

“The biggest one is 30 contribution points, and the medium-sized one is 20 contribution points.”

Yu Xinya immediately decided, “Give us a large one and a medium one.” With that, she took her identity card and went to the counter.

Du Yue chased after her, but she blocked her way.

Du Yue decided to use a soft approach. She blinked at Yu Xinya. “Sister Yu…”

Yu Xinya glanced at her and turned her head away coldly. “It’s no use acting cute.”

Du Yue wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Yu Xinya was usually gentle and soft, but why was she so difficult to talk to at this time?

During the time that Du Yue was blocked, Yu Xinya paid the bill. Now that they had bought all the things they needed for the well, they could return to the base. As for the cost of the well and the water pipe, they would have to wait until the well was built. The water pump was not big, so it could be put directly in the car. However, the two water towers were big, and the truck could not fit them. They could only use a rope to fix them to the roof of the car and transport them back.

As long as they slowed down on the way back, the towers would not fall. Half an hour later, their car stopped in front of the courtyard. Wan Dapeng took out a key from his pocket and unlocked the door from the outside. When they left, they directly locked the door so that the people inside would not have to go through the trouble of opening the door for them. However, this was not a long-term plan. They would definitely have to install a doorbell or something in the future to let the people living in the courtyard know that someone was at the door.

Listening to the cheers of men and women, old and young, Wan Dapeng and Yu Xinya both had happy smiles on their faces. For convenience’s sake, the well was built in front of the small building. The speed of modern mining was still very fast. It did not take long for the well to be completed. The only thing that no one expected was that the well actually went 50 meters deep before water came out. To be safe, Yu Xinya asked the well-digger to dig two meters deeper.

A water pipe was worth one contribution point per meter, so 52 meters was 52 contribution points. As for the labor fee for digging the well, one meter was two contribution points, so it was 104 contribution points. All in all, it was a total of 156 contribution points. Yu Xinya did not say anything, but her heart ached for the money.
