Chapter 409: The Base Didn’t Take Action

Du Yue did not continue reading. She left and started browsing other posts. In the underground forum, there were quite a few posts that were confusing at first glance, but if a smart person thought about them carefully, they would understand the meaning behind them. They were all shady deals, and most of the people who posted them were immoral people. The fact that these posts could appear on the official forum of the base and not be deleted could only mean that the base was not doing anything about it. Although these posts had nothing to do with Du Yue, she had read too many negative comments and comments. Du Yue felt that her mood was affected by these things, so she simply exited the underground forum and stopped reading the content there.

Du Yue flipped through the other sections. There were people selling second-hand daily necessities, chatting and sharing their lives, and discussing when the fog would end. Other than that, there were people recruiting, looking for jobs, going on blind dates, and looking for relatives. It had been a long time since she had seen so many people post about the daily necessities of life. Now that she was reading these posts, Du Yue actually felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Looking at the lively forum, it gave people the illusion that the world was at peace. When Du Yue came back to her senses, she sighed.

It had been a long time since she had a good time surfing the internet. Du Yue browsed the forum for the entire morning. It was not until He Xing could not help but urge her to put down her phone and eat lunch that Du Yue reluctantly turned off her phone. While walking downstairs with He Xing, Du Yue mentioned the decision she made after surfing the internet for the whole morning. “I read on the forum that the fourth base has developed new seeds. Shall we go buy some and plant them?”

Although the food reserves in Du Yue’s interspace were enough for the two of them to eat until the end of time, they had nothing to do. Growing more food would give them a sense of security! Even if the two of them did not eat the food they had harvested, they could still exchange it for something else.

In a few years, the food stored before the apocalypse would be used up. At that time, whether it was food for the people or for exchange, it would be the new varieties that emerged after the apocalypse. It was just the right time for them to start preparing.

“The two of us really have a telepathic connection.” He Xing smiled and touched Du Yue’s hair. “I wanted to tell you about this during lunch. After lunch, I’ll go out and buy the seeds. However, the space in our courtyard isn’t big, and we still have to leave space for parking. But we can plant in the room or on the roof. We can also take out the logistics boxes we used before and continue to use them…” While they were talking, the two of them had already reached the first floor.

The first floor was still quiet. Du Yue looked at Xia Ju’s room and found that her door was still closed. Du Yue took a few steps forward and put her ear close to the door to listen. She did not hear any sound. It was almost the afternoon, but Xia Ju was still lazing in bed! Did she play with her phone until she forgot everything and stayed up all night?

Du Yue did not disturb Xia Ju. Instead, she followed He Xing to the kitchen. When they were on the move outside, they could only eat things like biscuits and bread. Now that they had their own kitchen, they no longer had to worry about being discovered by others. Naturally, they had to start cooking properly. Not only did they have to do it, but they also had to take this opportunity to make more. They would store the extra in Du Yue’s interspace space in case they might need it in the future. He Xing took out two range hoods and closed the kitchen door before starting to cook with Du Yue.

The two of them were now equally skilled in cooking, and Du Yue’s interspace had all kinds of ingredients and seasonings. It was a very enjoyable thing for the two of them to chat while cooking. An hour and a half later, the two of them had made a table full of delicious food. Du Yue took out more than half of each dish and put it in a lunch box to put into the space. The rest was what they were going to eat for lunch today.

Du Yue carried the food to the dining room and looked at Xia Ju’s room. Just when she thought that only she and He Xing would be eating this meal, Xia Ju’s door was pushed open from the inside. Xia Ju rubbed her eyes and walked out. Her waist-length silver-white hair was draped over her shoulders in a mess, and her eyes were still filled with confusion from having just woken up. Xia Ju yawned lazily and slowly walked toward the kitchen. Before she could fully open her eyes, she took a few deep breaths. “Is lunch ready? You might not believe it, but I was woken up by the smell of food. It’s too fragrant.”

“I made your favorite stir-fried beef, organic cauliflower, and spicy soup…” As Du Yue announced the names of the dishes one by one, Xia Ju’s eyes gradually widened, and she became more energetic. Xia Ju glanced at the food on the table and gulped.. “I’ll go wash up first! I’ll be back soon!”
