Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as they walked into the toilet, Du Yue was almost stung by the stench. She frowned. What was going on? There was no smell last night, but it had become like this after only one night? After entering a cubicle, Du Yue finally understood what was going on. Even though there were buckets of plant ash, there were also lazy people who would leave after using the toilet without using the plant ash.
There were even people who did not do their business into the bucket and directly did it on the ground. Seeing this scene, Du Yue secretly gritted her teeth. She really wanted to beat these people up! Staying in such a cramped s.p.a.ce was already very uncomfortable, yet there were people who wanted to court death and make the environment even more difficult! Even cats and dogs knew how to dig up the soil and cover their p.o.o.p after going to the toilet. Why were these people so lazy?
Du Yue casually found a cubicle that was not as disgusting and solved her needs. Then, she left with Xia Ju without looking back. Fortunately, their room was still some distance away from the toilet. If they were close to the toilet, they would have to be tortured by the suffocating smell all the time. Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Soon, the staff of the base discovered the problem and shouted in the corridor with a loudspeaker. They were urgently recruiting cleaners, and the job was naturally to clean the toilets. Although cleaning the toilet was a dirty and tiring job, the base would pay workers handsomely.
Those who were willing to work could get an extra 2,000 milliliters of water per day. It had to be said that this condition was very attractive in the current situation.
As soon as the staff member finished speaking, Du Yue heard someone push open the door and walk out, taking the initiative to register. When Du Yue went to the toilet in the afternoon, the environment was much better than before. There was no longer a foul smell and a scene that stung her eyes. Du Yue felt much more relaxed when she came out. As she was walking back, she suddenly felt the ground tremble. At first, it was not obvious. Du Yue even thought that it might be because she had squatted for too long and had low blood sugar. However, before she could continue walking, the surrounding walls started shaking again. This time, the shaking was much stronger than before. Du Yue almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Xia Ju quickly reached out and pulled Du Yue. The two of them held hands and ran quickly toward their room.
Not only the two of them, but everyone in the corridor also felt the intense shock. For a moment, everyone was in a mess and rushed to their rooms. Fortunately, most of their rooms were only 50 meters away from the toilet. Du Yue and Xia Ju squeezed into the crowd and finally ran back. He Xing had already opened the door and was waiting there. As soon as Du Yue and Xia Ju entered, He Xing quickly closed the door.
Sitting by the bed, Du Yue still felt a little scared. The shaking did not stop. Although it was not as strong as it was at the beginning, she could still feel it. Her body was trembling.
This feeling was different from an earthquake. It was not just the vibration as Du Yue also felt the temperature around her rise.
The underground shelter they were in was already much colder than the surface, but now, Du Yue was actually starting to sweat. The skin that was covered by her clothes was fine, but her exposed hands and face only seemed to burn a little. Everything that was happening in this short period of time clearly told Du Yue that the volcano had erupted! Even though Du Yue had expected this, she still found it hard to accept that it had really come to this. She did not know what was happening outside, nor did she know if they could escape this calamity safely.
She felt depressed, but no one could give her an accurate answer. This sudden disaster made everyone panic. The noise around them gradually grew louder, mixed with the cries of children in fear. Du Yue’s head hurt from listening to it, and in the end, she could only put on earplugs again. The sudden shaking continued until nighttime before it gradually stopped. At this time yesterday, the waterwheel came to distribute water to everyone.
Today, however, there was no sign of the waterwheel. Du Yue was not in a hurry to get water. She was just wondering if she could hear some news about the outside world from the staff. After waiting for another two hours, the waterwheel finally arrived. Today’s waterwheel was different from yesterday’s because there was a square screen tied to the waterwheel. The screen was playing the scene of the volcano eruption.
Du Yue’s heart skipped a beat. She saw the building of the fourth base in the corner of the screen. It was obvious that someone had taken the risk to record the volcanic eruption in the base..
