Chapter 425: The Corpses Were Thrown to the Corner
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Du Yue pulled herself out of her thoughts and stopped thinking about it. Xia Zhixing was the one who was pregnant; it had nothing to do with her. How long she had been pregnant and when she would give birth were not things that she should care about. Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer to the villa, Du Yue finally remembered. “I wonder how Xia Ju is doing.” Du Yue was silent along the way, and He Xing did not disturb her.
Now that she asked a question, He Xing smiled and said, “Don’t worry, those people are no match for her.”
Xia Ju’s combat strength was even more terrifying than the two of them. As the two of them chatted and laughed, the car had already stopped steadily outside the villa. Du Yue had just taken out her phone to contact Xia Ju when the door was pushed open from the inside. With the help of the car lights, Du Yue and He Xing could clearly see that the person who came was none other than Xia Ju.
Xia Ju made way for them. After the car drove into the courtyard and parked, she turned around and closed the door again. Du Yue had just pushed open the car door when Xia Ju came up to her. “A few people broke into the house. When they saw me, they came at me with knives without saying anything. I dealt with them and threw them to the corner.”
Du Yue looked at her admiringly. “You did well!”
Xia Ju was indeed trustworthy. Xia Ju brought Du Yue and He Xing to the corner of the wall. There were indeed a few corpses scattered everywhere.
Leaving the corpses in the courtyard was not a long-term solution. Even if they endured the disgust, the temperature was so high that the corpses would rot in less than two days. At that time, the smell would not be acceptable to ordinary people. They still had to take the time to get rid of the bodies, but it was too late tonight, and the three of them were tired from all the trouble. Du Yue took out a few woven bags from her space and put all the corpses into them. “I’ll put them in the space first. Tomorrow, He Xing and I will throw them far away.” Xia Ju hummed in acknowledgment and said calmly, “Thank you for your hard work. I’ll go back and continue my research.”
When Du Yue heard this, she subconsciously looked at her phone screen. It was already past ten o’clock at night. At this time, not only did Xia Ju not go to sleep, but she also wanted to continue her research? She was working too hard! Du Yue could not help but ask curiously, “You’ve been researching for a whole day. Have you made any progress?”
Xia Ju looked at her and said lightly, “If nothing goes wrong, you’ll be able to see the finished product in 24 hours.”
Du Yue was speechless. That fast? Without waiting for Du Yue to speak again, Xia Ju had already turned around and quickly walked toward the room. Du Yue could only ask He Xing, who was from Xia Ju’s hometown, “Are all interstellar researchers this fast when carrying out a research project?”
He Xing thought for a moment and replied seriously, “Not entirely. However, if you give me two or three days, it’d be enough for me to develop a new type of weapon. As an old doctor who has been practicing medicine for many years, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to develop a nutrient solution for plants.”
Du Yue was speechless. He was just as calm as the clouds and the wind! Du Yue snorted. “Although I admit that you’re all very powerful, you can’t be arrogant, do you understand?”
He Xing chuckled. “Don’t worry. I’m still very humble. Otherwise, I would have said that just a day would suffice.”
Du Yue looked at him blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment. Seeing her silence, He Xing smiled again and said, “But the most amazing one is still you. It was you who discovered my potential and chose me as your boyfriend! You’re the best!”
Du Yue was completely speechless. As the two of them were talking, they had already walked into the living room and closed the door.
The lights were on in the living room, but Xia Ju was nowhere to be seen. It was obvious that she was immersed in her research again. Du Yue and He Xing turned off the lights and walked upstairs with flashlights. After a whole night, the clothes they wore when they went out were not clean anymore. Du Yue and He Xing went to take a shower separately. Then, they threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine to wash. After changing into clean pajamas, the two of them returned to the room.
As soon as she entered the bedroom, Du Yue buried her head under the blanket. “I miss my soft little bed!”
She had been using this bed since the beginning of the apocalypse, and it had been several years now. Moreover, she had bought the mattress at a high price before, so it felt great to lie on it. Du Yue was lying lazily on the bed with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she felt a familiar aura approaching her..
