Du Yue also found a lot of gas masks and stuffed them into everyone’s bags. No one knew when the volcano would erupt, so it was better to prepare more things in case of danger. As they walked out of the villa area, there were even more people on the road. When Du Yue and the others first arrived at the fourth base, they drove around the base a few times but they did not meet many people. This was the first time they had seen so many people. Everyone had their heads lowered as they hurried along. Although there were many people, it was not a mess.

The natural disasters and tribulations recently had already trained everyone to have a strong ability to accept things. They would not panic just because something happened. As she ran along with the crowd, Du Yue was secretly glad that they had chosen to put the car into the space before they left and run to the underground fallout shelter. Otherwise, given the current situation, the car would not be able to move a single inch on the road. Just as she was thinking about it, Du Yue heard the urgent honking of a car. Du Yue did not stop walking as she turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound.

An expensive luxury car was squeezed into the middle of the crowd. The person sitting in the driver’s seat honked crazily, trying to get the crowd to make way for the car, but no one paid attention to him. At this time, every minute of delay was dangerous. Who would make way for a stranger? Du Yue only took a glance before she retracted her gaze and continued to run with the crowd. Everyone could not speed up because they had brought their families and belongings with them. It would only take an hour to run there under normal circumstances. In the end, it took two to three hours before they finally arrived.

When they arrived, there was a long queue at the entrance of the underground fallout shelter. The staff maintained order at the entrance and told everyone not to squeeze. Everyone could only slow down and move forward slowly with the long line. After waiting for almost half an hour, Du Yue and the other two finally entered the underground fallout shelter. The light at the entrance was on, but it was still dark. They followed the person in front of them. The farther down they went, the darker their vision became.

It was different from when they were on the ground. Once they entered the ground, they could clearly feel that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot. After walking in the dark for a long time, they finally heard a staff member shouting over the radio, “Everyone, please calm down and settle here for the time being. Don’t fight. If you want to go to the toilet, please follow the signs. You can’t urinate and defecate anywhere else!”

Du Yue did not find this funny at all. Instead, she felt that it was a necessary reminder! Being underground, the air did not circulate. If everyone did as they pleased, would they still be able to stay? Just thinking about that smell made Du Yue frown unconsciously. The place they were in now seemed to be a small square. There were no more stairs around them, only two dark and long paths.

The person walking in front randomly chose a small path and walked along it. Du Yue was about to follow that person when she held He Xing’s hand. “Aren’t you coming?”

He Xing raised his chin at the staff member who shouted just now. “Let’s ask him first!”

He Xing did not say anything else, but Du Yue understood what he meant in an instant. They would first ask him if there was a place with a better environment to stay.

Since the base had already predicted that the volcano would erupt and built an underground shelter in advance, there would be many considerations. The prepared accommodation should also be divided into different grades. They did not plan to live in the best place. It would be too easy for others to resent them. As long as they did not have to squeeze with everyone, they would be satisfied.

He Xing walked forward. Before the staff member could ask, he secretly handed over a bag of things. Du Yue saw He Xing’s actions and knew what he was giving away. It was cornbread made from the corn that they had planted previously. When the staff saw He Xing, he subconsciously took the things He Xing handed over. “What’s the matter?” There were too many people here, and it was indeed not suitable to get too close.

He Xing did not beat about the bush. “I want to ask if there’s a quieter place to stay.”

As He Xing spoke, the man had already opened the cloth bag in his hand. When he saw the bread inside, his eyes were filled with a smile. After hearing He Xing’s question, he nodded happily. “Of course! Go along the road on the right. After about 200 meters, you’ll see an iron door. There are stairs below the door. Just go through that path.”

What he meant was that the place He Xing wanted to live was on the next floor..𝒩𝑶𝗏𝐄𝐥𝒩𝐞xt.𝕔𝒐𝑚
