Chapter 428: Worry About the Future
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Earthquakes, bug disasters, and thick fog were enough to make humans suffer. The eruption of a volcano would bring disaster. Thinking of that scene, Du Yue did not have the mood to continue. On the way back, He Xing drove silently. Du Yue looked out of the window in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking. When they reached home, the two of them did not speak again. The two of them parked the car at the gate. After Xia Ju jumped over and opened the door for them, she stood beside the car with a smile and waited for Du Yue and He Xing to get out. She looked like she was in a good mood.
Du Yue and He Xing got out of the car together. Even when they saw Xia Ju, they were not in the mood to joke around. They just walked silently into the house. Seeing the two of them like this, Xia Ju wiped away the smile on her face and followed behind them with some worry. “Did something happen to you guys?” Xia Ju could not help but ask.
The two of them were clearly happy when they went out. Why were they dejected when they came back? Neither of them said a word.
Du Yue shook her head. “Nothing happened. It’s just that the two of us were thinking about the future. The combination of long-term worries and short-term worries affected our mood a little.”
“Will there be any trouble in the future?” Xia Ju frowned and asked.
Du Yue smiled bitterly. “Maybe not. We’re just worrying for nothing.”
Xia Ju followed Du Yue and He Xing into the living room and repeated what Du Yue had just said in a low voice, “You’re worrying for nothing. So why should you worry for nothing?”
Since they were all living together, Du Yue did not intend to keep her in suspense. After returning to the living room, she told Xia Ju about her and He Xing’s worries.
“The county where the fourth base is located has a famous volcanic park. Although it’s an extinct volcano that has been silent for hundreds of years, with the current situation… We’re worried that it’ll erupt in the future.”
After hearing Du Yue’s words, Xia Ju finally understood why she was unhappy. “If you’re unhappy because of this, then you’re worrying for nothing.” It was clearly something that had not happened. If they were to worry now, when would it end?
Xia Ju thought for a moment. “Actually, there’s a simple solution. Let’s leave this place. Doesn’t the government have ten official bases? We can go to a base without volcanoes.”
Xia Ju’s suggestion was indeed the simplest and most direct way to solve the problem, but… Du Yue looked around. “We just bought this house. Although we don’t lack supplies and gold, it’s a little stupid to leave this villa here after spending so much on it.”
Moreover, no one could guarantee that the volcano would erupt. Similarly, even if they left this place, no one could guarantee that other bases would not encounter other natural disasters. To put it bluntly, it was the end of the world. As long as they did not leave the blue planet, they would not be able to avoid natural disasters. Du Yue was not worried anymore. “The fourth base is built here. The scientists in the base must know about the existence of the volcano. If we could think about it, they must have thought of it long ago. Regardless of whether the volcano will erupt in the end, they’ll definitely have a plan.”
After Du Yue finished speaking, she smiled at Xia Ju. “I think we should stay. No one knows what will happen in the future. What do you think?”
The reason why she only asked Xia Ju’s opinion was because Du Yue knew that no matter what decision she made, He Xing would support her.
Xia Ju did not hesitate at all and nodded heavily twice. “Sure. Didn’t I say before that I wanted to follow you? I’ll be wherever you are!” Xia Ju’s tone was relaxed as if she was talking about what to cat tomorrow morning.
When Du Yue heard this, she could not help but be a little stunned. “Why did you answer so hastily? What if the volcano really erupts? What if in the future…”
“You said it yourself. There’s still a chance that none of those things will happen.” Xia Ju waved her hand indifferently. “Maybe I’ll find a way to return to the galaxy that day! When the time comes, I’ll bring you along and let you see the beautiful scenery of our galaxy and taste the delicacies of our galaxy!”
Du Yue turned to look at He Xing. “Didn’t you tell me that you don’t have good food in the galaxy?”
Without waiting for He Xing to reply, she asked Xia Ju, “What kind of delicacies are there in the galaxy?”
Xia Ju looked at her curious expression and revealed a sly smile.. “There are many delicacies in the galaxy, such as body-strengthening nutrient fluids, sleep-calming nutrient fluids, protein replenishing nutrient fluids… If you want to try them, I can treat you to a taste now!”
