Chapter 438: Staying in the Underground Sanctuary

Du Yue was already used to the two of them not liking each other’s behavior. She did not say much and took the lead to turn left and walk along the dark path. After walking for five to six minutes, Du Yue estimated that they were about 50 meters away from the toilet. Then, she stopped and pointed at the door in front of her. “It should be here. This door is slightly wider than the others. You won’t be able to tell if you don’t look carefully.”

The other rooms they passed by along the way were still unoccupied. They did not know if it was because no one was willing to spend food to stay, or if those people who could afford it had not come yet. Regardless of the reason, it was good news for Du Yue and the other two as they could choose a better place to stay!

The three of them pushed the door open and walked in. As far as their eyes could see, there was only one door in the room. There were no windows. There was also a dim light above their heads and a very simple camp bed. Xia Ju looked around and could not help but complain, “We spent 50 catties of food and they gave us such a dilapidated room. They earned this money too easily!”

Du Yue also thought so too. “You’re right. People with power can easily earn money!”

Whether it was before or after the apocalypse, those who could earn money were those with resources or power.

However, even though they had paid with food, they had also received a relatively quiet living environment. Du Yue was still very satisfied.

There was no need for Du Yue to say these words directly. Xia Ju herself understood the truth. She was just casually complaining. He Xing also walked around the room and checked if there was any surveillance equipment installed in the room. After confirming that there was no problem, He Xing walked to Du Yue’s side. “There’s just a small bed. There’s no place to sit. Bring out a few small stools.”

Du Yue nodded and found three small stools that could be folded from her space.

These folding stools were like small buckets. When folded together, each one was about the size of a dish. It was only two or three centimeters thick. When not in use, it could be folded directly and placed into a hiking bag. It was very convenient. Therefore, Du Yue did not have to be afraid of being suspected after taking these stools out of her space to use. In addition to the foldable stools, Du Yue also took out a two-person tent. After setting up the tent and placing an inflatable mattress inside, they could go in and sleep.

Xia Ju tactfully said, “The two of you sleep in the tent. I’ll sleep on the bed.”

Since Xia Ju had taken the initiative to speak, Du Yue did not intend to be polite to her in this regard. The three of them were just about to sit down and rest. Just as they were feeling a little bored, they heard a sound from outside. The room was completely enclosed, and the vent was just above the corridor. There were no outsiders present earlier, so the three of them did not close the door tightly but left it ajar. They could naturally hear the commotion outside clearly.

Xia Ju could not help but be curious. She stood up and walked to the door, sticking her head out to look outside. Du Yue and He Xing sat still, but they knew what was happening outside. The two of them did not have clairvoyant eyes or clairvoyant ears. What they had was Xia Ju, who was constantly broadcasting the situation to them. “There are a lot of people coming from the other end, but why aren’t they taking the same stairs as us?”

Du Yue chuckled. “Isn’t that normal? If there’s only one staircase on such a long road, it’ll be too late to run if anything happens. At that time, they would be completely wiped out.”

After hearing Du Yue’s explanation, Xia Ju nodded thoughtfully and continued to look outside. “They brought a lot of things. Some of them brought more things than us. They’re choosing a room, and some of them have already opened the door and walked in…”𝑵𝔬𝒱𝗲𝗅𝞰𝓮xt.𝒞𝓞𝗆

Xia Ju did not need to say that and Du Yue could already guess what was happening. As the footsteps outside got closer, someone walked past their door. These people were all in a hurry. Even when they saw Xia Ju standing at the door, they only glanced at her indifferently and did not have the time to pay attention to her.

There were only a few rooms with good locations. If they did not hurry up, they would have to live in the remaining rooms. Who would have the mood to pay attention to others?

Originally, when Du Yue and the other two were alone, the surroundings were very quiet. The air did not smell bad. Other than the occasional faint smell of soil, there was no other strange smell. However, as more and more people moved in, the surrounding air became more and more smelly. Coupled with the noisy voices, Du Yue was thoroughly annoyed. These people who came were obviously capable because Xia Ju said that she saw someone carrying a child in their arms. In this world, if one did not have some real ability, one would not dare to have a child. Even if one accidentally got pregnant, if one could not guarantee nutrition for the child, one would not be able to keep the child..
