Seeing that Xia Ju was willing to help, Shen Teng was very happy. After all, with the chicks’ matter settled, he could follow He Xing and the others to look for coal. However, Shen Teng did not take the second half of Xia Ju’s words to heart. Just by looking at Shen Teng’s polite smile, Du Yue knew that he was doubting Xia Ju’s words.

Du Yue was not in a hurry to explain. Some things, no matter how well others promised, were not as good as seeing the results with their own eyes. When Shen Teng came back and saw the growth of these chicks with his own eyes, it would be more effective than her explanation now. If someone else had said that they wanted the chicks to gain a lot of weight in five days, Du Yue would also think that they were bragging.

However, since these words came from Xia Ju’s mouth, Du Yue naturally believed them without a doubt.

After handing the chicks over to Xia Ju, Shen Teng could finally heave a sigh of relief. However, he did not immediately bid farewell and leave. “I was thinking of driving my car this time. When 1 get home later, I’ll dismantle all the seats that I don’t need. That way, I can make more space for coal.”

Du Yue nodded. “Yes. It’s a rare chance to go out. We don’t know when we can go back again. We definitely have to take this opportunity to get more. 1 have some bags that can be used to store coal. You can take some with you later. When the time comes, you can tie the bags to the roof of the car and bring back more.”

Shen Teng’s off-road vehicle had a luggage rack that could hold at least a few hundred catties of coal. Shen Teng did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked first, “If you give me the bags, what will you use?”

Du Yue smiled. “Of course, we’ll also use bags. Don’t worry, even if we give you some, we’ll still have enough bags.”

Since Du Yue had said so, Shen Teng did not refuse. “Alright, then 1 won’t stand on ceremony with you.”

After Du Yue passed the bags to him, Shen Teng left.

After sending Shen Teng away, He Xing and Du Yue also began to prepare the things they needed for tomorrow’s journey. They had already removed the backseat of He Xing’s off-road vehicle, which saved them a lot of trouble. However, other than the car, there were still many things that needed to be prepared. This time, they would be out for about five days. Therefore, tents and sleeping bags were definitely essential. The other problem was food and drink. They had to bring enough pure water for a week, a gas stove that could be used to cook in the wild, and pots and pans.

In addition to these, Du Yue also specially made some sauce meat to bring along. If they were in a hurry or it was inconvenient to cook, they could openly take out the sauce meat to fill their stomachs. After everything was ready, the two of them went to bed early.

The next morning, Du Yue and He Xing had already woken up before the alarm clock rang. After washing up, they got into the car with the things they had prepared and drove away from the small courtyard. Xia Ju stood at the entrance of the courtyard and watched them leave. Only when the off-road vehicle disappeared from her sight did she turn around and lock the gate before returning to her RV.

Du Yue sat in the passenger seat. After the car drove for a distance, everything around her fell into darkness. Their vision was blocked, so He Xing did not dare to drive too fast. After all, there were two bases stationed nearby, and there were still many people moving around. It would be bad if someone suddenly jumped out of the darkness and ran into them.

Although their lives were no longer restricted by the law, Du Yue and He Xing still could not treat human lives as though they were nothing.

When they passed by Shen Teng’s house, Shen Teng, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, started the car and followed them. At this moment, he was not far from their car. He maintained a safe distance and ensured that he would not lose them.

Yesterday, they made an appointment with Zuo Mingdong to meet at the entrance of the first base camp. They drove to the camp gate. The closer they got to the camp, the noisier it was. When they reached the place and saw the queue that was hundreds of meters long, Du Yue finally realized why the people who blocked the entrance of their courtyard had disappeared. It turned out that they were all queuing here!

It seemed that the first base was planning to make a big move.

While Du Yue was sizing up the crowd, the people in the queue were also sizing up their cars. However, it was dark outside, and their car windows were covered with anti-peep film, so the people outside could not see anything.

He Xing continued to drive forward. After driving for a while, he finally saw the convoy. Zuo Mingdong was standing in the most conspicuous position in front of the convoy to arrange the operation, so He Xing saw him at a glance..
