314 Have Fun While I’m Still Here
Once the team left the base, they would be uncontactable. No matter if it was dangerous or difficult, the ten of them had to solve the problems and face everything by themselves. Just thinking about it made Yu Xinya worried. However, she could not think of any good solution, so she could only tell everyone to return on time.
Wan Dapeng looked at Yu Xinya and smiled at her, “Don’t worry, I can do it. I’ll bring everyone back safely! You have to be careful at home. If there’s any dirty or tiring work, wait for me to deal with it when I come back!”
Yu Xinya was looking at Wan Dapeng, but when their eyes met, she suddenly turned her head and had an unnatural expression on her face.
Du Yue, who witnessed the entire scene from the side, could only silently suppress the excitement in her heart. It seemed that her sixth sense was really accurate. There was another kind of feeling between the two of them that they did not even realize. However, Du Yue was not a talkative person. Although she could tell, she did not intend to tell the two of them.
Yu Xinya’s gaze circled the air a few times and finally fell on Du Yue. “Although those people didn’t cause you any trouble today, you can’t let your guard down after this.”
Du Yue nodded. “Don’t worry. We’re both aware of this.”
Wan Dapeng and Yu Xinya did not stay for long. Sunshine Team would leave tomorrow morning, and there were still many things to prepare tonight.
The next morning, Du Yue, He Xing, Yu Xinya, and the others saw Wan Dapeng and the others off. Wan Dapeng’s team had a total of ten people, and they drove a pickup truck. The compartment of the pickup truck was very large, so they could rest inside at night. If they found any supplies, they could also load them in the truck. The car soon disappeared from their sight, but Yu Xinya still stood there, unwilling to leave. They were unfamiliar with this place. This was not the city they were born in. How could she not be worried?
Yu Xinya stood there for a while before she calmed down. She turned to the others and said, “Okay, let’s go back. Dapeng and the others will come back safely.” Hearing this, everyone walked into the courtyard and closed the heavy iron gate. After Wan Dapeng and the others left, Du Yue could clearly feel that the originally lively little courtyard was much quieter than before.
It was not because Wan Dapeng and the other ten were responsible for maintaining the atmosphere in the courtyard but because everyone was worried about them. Under such circ.u.mstances, no one was in the mood to joke. Du Yue and He Xing’s lives went on in an orderly manner. Every day, they would go back and forth between the courtyard and their store. They left in the morning and returned in the afternoon. Although they had just opened their restaurant, they already had loyal fans.
The man who was the first to come to eat on the first day of their business would come over to eat every day after that. In the base, one could not tell a person’s background or status just by looking at their clothes. After all, at this time, no one was pursuing branded luxury goods. The clothes they were wearing were either from before the apocalypse or from the ruins.
If one wanted to see how capable a person was and whether they were rich and powerful, one would have to see what they ate. Those who could spend five to six contribution points to have lunch every day were definitely considered rich in this base. Since he came every day and He Xing was a chatterbox, he would chat with him occasionally when he was cooking. That was how he got to know his name.
The man’s name was Shen Teng, and he was a scavenger. He did not form a scavenging team, nor did he join any team. He usually scavenged alone. Although he was alone, he could gain a lot every time he went out. After taking the sc.r.a.ps back and selling them all, they could be exchanged for a lot of contribution points. These contribution points were enough for him to eat and drink in the base.
When he had spent most of his contribution points, he would prepare half a month’s worth of food and water. He would leave the base and go out to scavenge for sc.r.a.ps again. In Shen Teng’s own words, he would work hard to earn money and enjoy spending it after he earned the money. Since the beginning of the apocalypse, natural disasters had come one after another, and no one knew how long they could live. He would live every day as if it was his last day. He could do whatever he wanted, and even if he were to suddenly die, he would have no regrets. Just by listening to Shen Teng’s way of doing things, Du Yue felt that he probably did not have anyone particularly close to him anymore. Even so, Du Yue and He Xing did not ask any questions. They only helped Shen Teng prepare enough dry food to last him for half a month when he asked them for help.
