Xia Ju looked over through the binoculars again. “I’m impressed by these stupid teammates. The more critical the moment is, the more they screw up. Those people have already realized that the sound came from us!

“That group of people is currently surrounding each other and discussing something. 1 saw most of them nod their heads. They’re coming toward us! They’re already on their way. They’re quite fast! 1 didn’t expect these people to have such good stamina. They had fought for so long just now, but they still have some energy in them! In less than five minutes, they’ll reach our courtyard.”

Listening to Xia Ju’s impassioned broadcast, Du Yue only wanted to say ‘Thank you, but that’s not necessary.’

However, now was not the time to talk about this. The most important thing now was how to deal with those people when they rushed over. Before Du Yue could come up with a good idea, the group of people walked to the grass. Although daylight was shortening day by day, the improved grass was not affected too much. It was still growing very well.

Du Yue raised her binoculars again and saw the group of people walking onto the grass. They immediately pounced on the green grass like hungry tigers and began to gobble it up. Anyone who saw this pitiful scene would feel sorry for them. As long as there was enough food to eat, who would wolf down the grass on the ground? Someone stuffed his mouth full, then chewed and swallowed a few times. He said to the person who seemed to be the leader, “This grassland is a wasteland, but the grass here is growing so well. There must be someone living here! Are we there already?”

As they were just outside the courtyard, Du Yue and the other two could hear everything they said clearly. Someone immediately shook his head when he heard this. “Impossible! There isn’t even a car here. It’s definitely not a base! No matter where this is, there must be people living here. Since there are people living here, we don’t have to go hungry! Stop eating grass and come with me!”

After he finished speaking, he strode toward Du Yue’s courtyard. Someone behind him quickly followed and jogged over. However, there were also some who were indifferent. They continued to lie on the grass and stuff large amounts of grass into their mouths. Du Yue had tasted this grass before, and it tasted pretty good. After all, it was an improved variety from Xia Ju. Not only did this grass taste good, but it was also very nutritious.

Ever since the cow, horses, and sheep ate this grass, their bodies seemed to be getting stronger and stronger day by day. Those people must have tasted the deliciousness of this grass, which was why they were unwilling to get up and wanted to eat more.

Instead of following the people in front of them to find food that they were not sure existed, they might as well take this opportunity to eat a few more mouthfuls of grass to fill their stomachs. After all, no one knew who lived here. They might not be able to find food even if they searched like this.

Du Yue did not have the time to pay attention to the people eating grass because the people rushing toward the small courtyard were getting closer and closer. They walked to the fence and found the electric fence, but no one said anything. No one knocked on the door. In fact, these people all deliberately lightened their footsteps and breathing as they sneakily looked into the courtyard.

Du Yue and the other two had already turned off all the lights in the courtyard. At this moment, there was no light in the courtyard at all. It was so dark that nothing could be seen.

Those people touched the darkness and could only try to look into the courtyard, but they could not see anything. However, Du Yue and the other two were holding night-vision binoculars. They could clearly see everyone’s movements and expressions. Those people hesitated for a long time. Finally, one of them could not hold himself back anymore. He took two steps forward and reached out to touch the electric fence. The moment his hand touched the electric fence, he was electrocuted and took a few steps back. His face was filled with fear. “There’s really electricity here!”

The person who spoke could not help but feel a lingering fear. If he had not moved quickly, he might not have been able to keep his arm. Even though he withdrew his hand the moment he felt the electric current, he could still feel the electric current running through his body, scaring him so much that his heart almost stopped.

When most of them heard that there was electricity, they subconsciously took a few steps back, afraid that they would be electrocuted to death. However, there were also a few people who remained motionless on the spot. They did not have the slightest hint of fear. “What are you afraid of? It’s a good thing that there’s electricity! This is such a remote place, yet they could actually set up such a powerful electric fence.. The people living here are definitely not ordinary people! Besides, if it’s not for the fact that there’s something particularly precious in the courtyard that needs protection, the people inside wouldn’t have installed an electric grid here to waste electricity! As long as we can find a way to break in, everything inside will be ours!”
