230 Friendly Base Director

The two beds were the same as the ones in school dormitories, both about 1.2 meters wide. Du Yue rummaged through her interspace for a while before she found two 1.2-meter mattresses and laid them on the bed frames. After Du Yue was done, she called out to He Xing. “Come and sit down. Don’t keep standing.”

He Xing strode forward and sat down beside Du Yue. “There aren’t any electricity restrictions here despite it being a small base. I think the basic facilities in this base are probably better than in the first base.”

He Xing could not be blamed for thinking this way as Du Yue herself thought that too. “That’s good. At least the remaining survivors here don’t have to live as hard as the people in Qinghe City.” Although Wan Dapeng and the others were a little thin and weak, their mental state was better than the residents of Qinghe City. It seemed that Haidao City had a better environment than Qinghe City.

It was time for dinner, so Du Yue wanted to get some water to wash up before dinner. However, before she could take action, she heard someone knocking on the door.

“Are you in your room?” It was Wan Dapeng.

He Xing walked over to the door. Du Yue stood up at the same time and put the mattresses on the bed frames into her interspace.

He Xing, who had reached the door, turned around to see that Du Yue had put the mattresses away. He then opened the door. Outside the door, Wan Dapeng was still smiling. “Quickly put on your clothes and follow me. The director of our base is back, and he brought a lot of good things. After hearing that you’re going to spend the night here, he asked me to come over and invite you to have dinner together.”

They had never met before, yet he was so enthusiastic. What was the most important thing during the apocalypse? Everyone had their own answers, but food was the most important thing in everyone’s heart. The director invited them to have dinner with him when they themselves were starving. Du Yue could not help but suspect the director’s motives.

Seeing that Du Yue and He Xing had no intention of moving, Wan Dapeng smiled in embarrassment. “Our director is a very good person. He’s usually very generous to everyone. He’s not a bad person, so you don’t have to worry.” Since Wan Dapeng had said so, they could only agree.

The two of them carried their backpacks and followed Wan Dapeng out of the room. In the thick fog, the sky turned dark much faster than usual. It had not been long, but the sky outside had completely darkened. Fortunately, there was no shortage of electricity here, and there were many street lights on the road, so they could see the road clearly. Du Yue and He Xing followed Wan Dapeng for more than ten minutes before they arrived at the door of a warehouse. After walking in, they saw rows of tables and chairs. It seemed that this was their canteen.

There were already many people in the canteen. Du Yue roughly estimated that there were about 200 people. If these people were all the people in the base, the base was indeed a small one.

When Wan Dapeng walked in with Du Yue and He Xing, they quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the canteen. However, those people only looked at them a few times with curiosity and did not do anything else. It was because at this moment, the most eye-catching sight was not them but the more than 20 large boxes placed in the open space in front of them.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the boxes that were dripping with water. Du Yue followed everyone’s gaze and saw a very young woman standing near the boxes. She looked to be in her early 30s. While Du Yue was observing the woman, Wan Dapeng had already led them to the woman.

“Director, they’re the guests we brought back today.”

The woman turned to look at Du Yue and He Xing when she heard the voice. Like Wan Dapeng, she smiled before she spoke. “Welcome, I’m the director of this base, Yu Xinya. I’ve brought back quite a lot of seafood today. Come and have dinner with us!”

Yu Xinya’s appearance was ordinary, but she had a gentle temperament and a delicate expression, which made people want to get close to her. From a distance, she looked young, but there were some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. It must be because of her years of being exposed to the wind and sun by the sea and her love to smile. Yu Xinya’s friendly calmness was something that Du Yue had not seen for a long time. Coincidentally, Du Yue had seen it in both her and Wan Dapeng today. Could this be the so-called meaning of birds of a feather flock together?

Du Yue was still deep in her thoughts when He Xing spoke, “Thank you for inviting us to dinner, Director, but we can’t just eat and drink for free at a time like this. It’s not easy for everyone.” He Xing took out a leather bag from his backpack. “There’s two jin of rice inside. One jin is for tonight’s room fee, and the other jin is for dinner.”
