Chapter 592:1 Want to Shower With You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Du Yue filled Xia Ju’s RV with a bucket of warm water, then turned around and left, closing the door for her.

After returning to her RV, Du Yue saw He Xing staring at her and thought that he was in a hurry to take a shower. She asked He Xing, “Do you want to take a bath first, or do you want to wait until I’m done before you take a bath?”

He Xing’s lips curled into a wicked smile. “1 want to bathe with you.”

Du Yue glared at him. “Why are you dreaming before it’s even night? Since you don’t want to choose, then 1’11 go bathe first. You can bathe later!” With that, Du Yue walked in.

He Xing sat on the sofa and looked at Du Yue’s back. The smile in his eyes deepened.

Zuo Mingdong arrived three days later, riding the bike that he had borrowed from Du Yue. The bike was equipped with well-drilling equipment and the smoked chicken that he owed them. Du Yue and the other two gulped when they saw the chickens.

Zuo Mingdong looked at their sparkling eyes and found it funny. “Why are the three of you staring at the chicken so affectionately? Have you tasted the chicken that was sent over before? It tastes good, right?”

Du Yue nodded repeatedly. “It’s really, really delicious!” The three of them had indeed tasted the chicken. The chicken that Zuo Mingdong had sent over had already been eaten by them. Of course, Du Yue did not plan to tell Zuo Mingdong about this. She was afraid that he would think too much.

Nowadays, it was difficult for people to even have the most basic food and clothing, let alone meat. If ordinary people had the chance to get some meat, they would definitely eat it slowly. If they ate a few smoked chickens sparingly, it was not impossible for them to make the food last for half a year.

Du Yue and the others finished all the chickens in a few days. If others knew about this, they would inevitably sigh.

Fortunately, Zuo Mingdong was not a person who liked to get to the bottom of things. He would not pry into the privacy of Du Yue and the other two. He changed the topic and talked about something else. “I came here today to tell you something even more important than the drilling equipment.”

At this point, Zuo Mingdong’s tone became serious. “The sun disappeared after the fog. It’s impossible to increase the temperature significantly. Moreover, the temperature is getting lower and lower after the Eternal Night. Whether it’s to keep warm or to eat normally, we need to burn coal. This province is rich in coal resources. Now that the initial construction of the base is basically completed, I plan to go to the nearby coal mines and hope to gain something. What do you usually burn for warmth? Do you want to go with me?”

From the moment Zuo Mingdong opened his mouth, Du Yue knew that he wanted to invite them to go with him to find coal. She originally wanted to wait for Zuo Mingdong to finish speaking, then she would find a random reason to refuse. However, Du Yue did not expect Zuo Mingdong to suddenly ask about what they usually burned.

Du Yue did not know how to answer him. Usually, they would use any kind of fuel, such as firewood and coal. Du Yue had everything in her space. Naturally, she could burn anything she wanted.

Du Yue subconsciously looked at He Xing. He Xing nodded slightly at her, indicating that he would explain it. Du Yue nodded, waiting for He Xing to speak.

“We usually only burn firewood and charcoal. We saved some, but if there’s a chance to get some more, we’ll definitely be willing.”

Zuo Mingdong nodded. “That’s good. I don’t know how long the Eternal Night will last. If we accumulate more resources, our lives will be a little easier in the future. So, the first thing I did after we decided to go was to ask if you guys wanted to go together. If you guys have decided, then get ready. I’ll come look for you when we set off in a while.”

He Xing was a little puzzled. “Why not go now? Why wait a while?”

“Sigh, it’s a long story. Although the base doesn’t lack cars, there’s not much gasoline left. I can’t drive this time. 1 plan to bring more people and use a cart to pull the coal back.” When Du Yue heard this, she was stunned on the spot.

It was not strange to use manpower to pull a cart. After all, the first base did not lack manpower at all. However, the distance between the coal mine and the grassland was not short. They had to go to such a far place and then find the coal to bring it back. If they were to pull a cart, could they return within a month?

Du Yue did not intend to go to the beginning. Now that she heard Zuo Mingdong say that he needed manpower to pull the cart, she did not want to go even more. They had enough things, so there was no need for them to suffer. Even if Zuo Mingdong thought too much about it after they rejected the invitation, it sounded like the better option..
