235 This Place Isn’t Much Better Than a Small Base

She was in a deep sleep. Du Yue and He Xing had been in the lobby for a while, but she was still asleep. They could not just wait for her to wake up. Du Yue walked to the counter and knocked on it lightly. The woman was woken up from her sleep and was shocked when she opened her eyes. “Who is it…” The woman rubbed her eyes. When she saw the two of them carrying their backpacks, she immediately realized what was going on. She smiled and asked, “Are you guys here to spend a night?”

Du Yue did not answer her question. Instead, she asked, “How much does it cost to stay here for one night?”

“One jin of food a day. And you’ll have to take care of your own food and drinks.”

The price was the same as the small base she had stayed in before. It was not expensive. Du Yue asked her, “We’d like to take a look at the room’s environment first. Is that okay?”

“Alright! I’ll get someone to show you!” The woman shouted toward the inside, “Ah Ping, bring the guests to see the room.”

“Alright!” A young girl’s voice came from behind, and as soon as she finished speaking, she ran out from the back door. The person was indeed young, looking no older than 20. When the girl noticed Du Yue and He Xing, her eyes were filled with amazement as she stood rooted to the ground.

“Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and show the guests the room.” The woman reached out and pushed her.

“Oh! Alright, alright, come with me!” Ah Ping’s face was slightly red as she smiled at Du Yue and He Xing in embarrassment. Du Yue and He Xing followed her out of the back door. They saw a large courtyard with three rows of single-story houses on each side. Ah Ping brought them to the first room on the west side.

Ah Ping turned on the lights in the room. Du Yue and He Xing could see the decorations in the room clearly. The room was not big, about 12 or 13 square meters. The interior was almost non-existent, and it was similar to the lobby in front. There was a 1.8-meter double bed in the middle of the room. It was covered with white sheets and blankets, but perhaps they had been used for too long, so the white sheets and blankets had already turned yellow.

It was uncertain if it was because glass was not easy to buy these days, but there were no windows in the room. There was only a small wooden cabinet beside the bed and nothing else. As a hotel, this room was a little shabby. However, it was normal. It was already good enough that a building built after the apocalypse could be built like this. Du Yue was not picky.

Seeing that Du Yue and He Xing had not said anything since they entered the room, Ah Ping could not help but feel a little nervous. “The environment here is a little bad… ”

When Du Yue heard Ah Ping’s soft voice, Du Yue smiled and waved her hand. “It’s okay. It’s pretty good. We’ll stay here. Oh, right, can we park our car on the road in front of your hotel? Our car is parked there.”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Ah Ping nodded. “There’s no traffic police around right now, so you can park anywhere you want.”

The smile on Du Yue’s face was originally out of courtesy, but after seeing Ah Ping’s fearful and reverent look, her smile became more sincere. “Thank you. I was worried that the car would be towed away if it was parked outside!” Du Yue then turned to He Xing and said, “Let’s just stay here! You can go pay.”

“Alright.” He Xing turned around and left after he finished speaking.

Du Yue then asked Ah Ping, “Does your family own this hotel?”

Ah Ping pursed her lips and smiled shyly. “Yes.” Her face was slightly red, and her voice was very soft. She was obviously nervous.

Seeing her like this, Du Yue reflected on herself. Was she too scary? She did not think so.

As she pondered, Ah Ping raised her head and looked at her. “Is this your first time here?”

Du Yue nodded. “Yes, it’s my first time.”

“So what business do you have here?”

Du Yue smiled and shook her head. “No, I’m just out to see the world.”

Du Yue’s answer was clearly beyond Ah Ping’s expectations. She bit her lower lip and said softly, “You have your own car. You can live a good life no matter where you are. You don’t have to come here. This place isn’t any better than a small base.”

Du Yue had wanted to find out more about the base from Ah Ping. She did not expect that before she could ask, Ah Ping would take the initiative to mention it. Du Yue immediately continued to ask, “You have a lot of shops here, and the roads are wide. The construction is very good. When we first arrived, we thought we had traveled to the pre-apocalyptic world. This place is so prosperous. How could it not be better than a small base?”
