Compared to meeting those dignitaries, Du Yue preferred to hide in a corner with fewer people and live her own life. Every floor was cloister shaped, and all the doors faced the stairs in the middle. When standing in any position, one could see everything around one. Seeing this design, Du Yue could not help but roll her eyes. Which wise man came up with this plan?

Du Yue was silently complaining in her heart when He Xing, who was walking at the front, stopped in his tracks. He took out a key and opened the door in front of him. “This is our house. There are two bedrooms and a kitchen. However, there’s no washroom. The washroom on this floor is also public. You’ll see it when you go out later.”

As soon as He Xing finished speaking, Du Yue subconsciously turned around and looked at the surrounding doors. As expected, she saw two doors not far away. One was a blue door with the word ‘Male’ written on it. The other door was red, and it was naturally written with the word ‘Female’.

Retracting her gaze, Du Yue followed He Xing into the house. The layout of this house was no different from an ordinary house. The only difference was that the outer layer of the walls here was made of mud, and it would fall off at the touch of it. There was a wooden bed in each of the two bedrooms, and a set of simple tables and chairs in the living room. Du Yue only had one thought when she looked at the whole place.

It was too empty. Overall, however, Du Yue and the other two were very satisfied. Compared to previously when they could only squeeze into one room and had to lower their voices when talking, the current environment was considered very good. At least they did not have to sleep in the same space, and there was a kitchen to cook in.

The first preparation work before moving in was to put the wooden beds in the two rooms into the space. Then, they laid the floorboards, nailed the walls, and hung the wall cloth. After roughly tidying up, the house immediately became much warmer and not as dull as before. Although it was an underground house, there were ventilation tubes on the ceiling of each room, so it did not affect normal breathing. In order to prevent anyone from looking down the ventilation duct, Du Yue hung a curtain at each vent.

Everything within sight of the vent remained the same. When they were packing, Xia Ju also took the initiative to help Du Yue. After He Xing brought them here, he left in a hurry. The project was huge, and the number of robots required was also large. Others had yet to master this technology, and almost all the production processes had to be personally supervised by He Xing.

Although He Xing left early and returned late every day, Du Yue felt that he liked this job. Du Yue could understand him very well. If it were anyone else, they would also want to find something to do after staying at home for a long time every day. However, Du Yue did not have such an impulse at all. To her, she would never go out if she could lie at home. She would never stand if she could sit. What was wrong with being a couch potato? It was the apocalypse. Of course, she had to enjoy herself!

However, what Du Yue did not expect was that Xia Ju could not stand it anymore. As soon as she tidied up the room, Xia Ju brought out the stuff she did when she was researching drugs.

Du Yue looked at the bottles and jars in front of her. She guessed that Xia Ju was going to start making nutrient solutions again. She was very supportive of Xia Ju and even suggested to Xia Ju, “Didn’t He Xing say that there would be a night market here at night? When the time comes, we can go and see if there are any materials you can use.”

Xia Ju looked at Du Yue with confusion. “I have everything. Why do 1 have to go out and buy it?”

“How else will you legitimately bring out the nutrient solution?” Du Yue said helplessly, “If we want to hand it over to the base, we have to have a source of raw materials. It won’t make sense to make nutrient solutions out of various raw materials that aren’t available here.”

Xia Ju frowned. “This… It’s too troublesome.”

Du Yue also frowned. “If it’s troublesome, then so be it. It’s better than being captured and caged.”

Xia Ju, who had truly been a caged bird, was speechless. Du Yue was so bad! Every time she seized the opportunity, Du Yue would rub salt into her wounds. However, things did not go according to her wishes.

Du Yue still thought things too simple. At night, they went to the night market and did not see any materials that Xia Ju could use.

Du Yue suddenly realized that things were completely different from before the apocalypse. Before the apocalypse, as long as one had enough money and was willing to spend the effort to find something, one would eventually be able to find it. However, the resources were getting scarcer by the day. Even if someone had the raw materials to make nutrient solutions, they would not sell them. Du Yue and Xia Ju came with hope, but in the end, they went home dejectedly..
