195 Are These People Crazy?
Du Yue knew very well that no matter what, social cla.s.ses and capital always existed. Even though the world had already ended, it was still the same. Du Yue was lucky to be reborn and had an interspatial s.p.a.ce to stock up on supplies in advance. That was how she could live a good life in the apocalypse.
Du Yue was neither envious nor jealous because she had no lack of good things. However, in this base, there were too many people who had been living in fear every day. Usually, they could still bear with it, but when their lives were in danger, they might not be able to.
Du Yue thought about it for a long time, but in the end, she still threw these thoughts aside. She just wanted to live her life in peace. She did not want to fight for anything with others, nor did she want to stand out and judge the unfairness in the base. However, Du Yue did not expect that the base would be attacked before the people in the base could make a move.
The sudden blast startled Du Yue and He Xing, who were having their breakfast. The congee in their hands trembled from the intense sound of the cannon. When Du Yue heard the noise, she thought that there was a commotion inside the base. However, right after that, Zuo Mingdong gave He Xing a call. “He Xing, the base has been attacked. You must be careful.” After saying this in a hurry, the call was hung up. At this moment, no one was busier than Zuo Mingdong. However, in the midst of his busy schedule, Zuo Mingdong still took the time to remind them. It could be seen that after their days of getting along, they really had a friendship like that of comrades.
Du Yue and He Xing could not eat any more at this point. Du Yue put away the food. The two of them got up quickly and walked to the closet. They took out their clothes for going out and put them on. They carried their bags before going out. At this time, it was not a wise move to drive.
Now that the base had been attacked and had caused such a huge commotion, the people would definitely flee in panic. The sky was filled with thick fog, and they could not see the situation in the distance at all. It would not be good if they crashed into people in their car. Du Yue took out the electric bike. He Xing took the front seat while she sat in the back.
He Xing had been riding the electric bike out to work, so he was so good at it that he could even speed on it. Although it was fast, the electric bike was small and more flexible. Even if someone suddenly appeared from somewhere, they would still be able to dodge in time. If they could not avoid a crash in time and really hit the person, it still would not be a big problem.
He Xing rode the electric bike and sped toward the base’s gate. The gunshots and explosions were coming from that direction. It was obvious that they were attacking from the main entrance. Du Yue sat in the back seat of the bike. The bike was moving too fast, and the wind blew the thick fog on her face, making her squint her eyes subconsciously.
Before she heard the sound of explosions, Du Yue had never thought that the base would be attacked. As for who the attackers were, there was no need to guess. It must be the survivors of that city. First, they stole half of the crops on the plantation, and not long after, they came to attack the base. Were these people crazy?
Du Yue and He Xing rushed toward the gate without a care. It was dangerous to go out at this time, but they could not just stand by and watch after Zuo Mingdong had given them a reminder despite this being a critical moment. They would help as much as they could. If they really could not help, they could at least play a small role.
The small courtyard they were staying in was quite a distance away from the main gate. Even though He Xing was already speeding so hard that the tires were about to burst into sparks, it took them half an hour to get to the main entrance. Normally, half an hour was nothing. Perhaps it was just a break or a nap. However, at a time like this, too many things could happen in half an hour.
When they arrived, they could no longer hear the sound of gunfire. It was too quiet here, and Du Yue felt uneasy. She was worried that something had happened to the guards. Du Yue and He Xing alighted from the electric bike and parked it at the side. The two of them lightened their steps and carefully fumbled forward. After all, they had not figured out what the situation was.
They had just taken two steps when they were startled by a sudden electric current. After the sizzling sound of the electric current, the two of them heard shouting. A man was using a loudspeaker to speak, so his voice was a little unclear. However, there was no sound in the surroundings, and if one listened carefully, one could still hear what the person was saying.
