Chapter 45: Exchanged for Three Years Worth of Rent

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was quite a lot of food, but for a group of men like those robbers, these supplies wouldn’t last more than a few days. Du Yue felt that these supplies were probably brought along with them for emergency use when they were outside. There must be more supplies in their stronghold. They had carefully chosen this road and even placed iron nails in advance. Then, they used their vehicle to block the road. At a glance, it was obvious that this group of people was experienced. It was definitely not the first time they had done this.

Du Yue did not believe that all they had was what they had in the car. However, the problem was, this group of people could no longer speak, so how was she going to know where the other party’s base was? Although it was a pity that she did not manage to take all their resources for herself, Du Yue did not regret killing them at all. If she cut the grass and did not remove the roots, it would only cause one a headache. Compared to letting them remain a thorn by her side, those resources were not a pity. Besides, she did not lack those things!

Du Yue put all the supplies in the car into her interspace. She took a metal detector and rummaged through the car. In the end, she found a large bag of gold jewelry that roughly weighed dozens of catties. The group had probably robbed it as well.

Other than that, there were only some used daily necessities left, which Du Yue did not care about. After getting out of the vehicle, Du Yue walked in the direction of the off-road vehicle. After throwing their bodies into the farmland and making sure that there were no more traces on the road, Du Yue drove away. After driving for five kilometers, Du Yue stopped the car at a quiet roadside and placed all the supplies she had collected from the bus into the car.

The supplies did not take up much space in the robbers’ vehicle, but when they were placed in Du Yue’s off-road vehicle, it filled up the space right to the brim. Looking at the supplies, Du Yue muttered in her heart, ‘Money is really dropping from the sky for me.’ These supplies should be able to be exchanged for a lot of contribution points in the base.

!!

Worried that she would encounter another robbery, Du Yue decided to return immediately. She found the iron gate from her space and put it on the roof of the car, then fixed it with a rope and drove the car back to the base. People like Du Yue, who had already settled in the base, did not have to line up like the newcomers. They just had to go to the other side of the gate.

Du Yue entered the base and drove the car straight to the service hall. It was only around 12 o ‘clock at the moment, the time when the crowd was active. The wide service hall was now filled with people. Du Yue looked for a staff member and said that she wanted to exchange goods for contribution points, but there were too many things that she could not move. She had to trouble him to get a few people to help her.

The staff member quickly found a few colleagues and followed Du Yue to her jeep. Du Yue opened the car door in front of them. When the staff members saw that the car was filled to the brim, they were all in disbelief. When Du Yue said that she could not move all the things on her own, they had a rough idea of what was going on. However, when they saw so many resources with their own eyes, they still could not believe it. This woman actually wanted to exchange all these resources for contribution points!

How did Du Yue, a young lady who was alone, manage to get so many supplies? They glanced at Du Yue with probing eyes, but when they met her cold gaze, they quickly hid their surprised expressions and began to count the supplies.

They did not care how Du Yue had gotten her hands on these things. What they cared about was that most of the things Du Yue had brought back were in high demand on the market, especially alcohol and tobacco, which had been in short supply since the beginning of the apocalypse. Now, many people in the base were buying alcohol and tobacco at a high price. If they sold these things to others, they might be able to make a lot of money from it.

There were a lot of things, but fortunately, most of them were unopened in boxes. As a result, the few of them quickly finished counting. The supplies that Du Yue had brought were exchanged for 3,600 contribution points in the service hall. The apartment unit she was currently renting cost 100 contribution points a month. In other words, the contribution points she had now were enough for her to rent the house for three years.

With some savings in hand, Du Yue was not in a hurry to pay her rent. She had just moved into the base and was unfamiliar with the people and the place. Everyone looked at her like a stranger. If she rashly forked out so many contribution points to renew her rent, she might attract the attention of others.

She could pay the rent after she had familiarized herself with the place. Du Yue left the service hall and drove home. After parking the car by the road, Du Yue stepped on a rock and got up to the front of the car. She then climbed up to the roof of the car. She untied the rope that was tied to the iron gate on the roof of the car, then threw the iron gate from the roof of the car to the ground.

She had already seen that the ground here was made of normal mud and not asphalt, so she did not have to worry about the iron gate breaking the ground.
