Chapter 442: I’m Going Crazy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Du Yue had settled her physiological needs, but the doubts in her heart were still unanswered. She simply stopped thinking about it and followed Xia Ju out. They quickly walked back to their room and closed the door. Du Yue took out a basin of clean water from her space and asked Xia Ju to wash her hands with her. He Xing had never been to the toilet before, but seeing the two of them like this, he could roughly guess. “The toilet is a dry toilet? They don’t use water?”
“Yes, there’s no water.”
He Xing frowned slightly. “It’s fine if there’s no water in the toilet, but we have to use water to eat and drink, right? Even if most people brought water with them, it probably won’t be able to last them for long.”
It was not a problem to starve for a few days, but without water to drink, one would die.
Du Yue was more optimistic. “I think the base will divide the water for everyone.”
Sure enough, there was a sudden movement outside during dinner.
He Xing opened the door and looked outside. He then turned around and said to Du Yue, “You’re right. There’s a waterwheel outside.”
Du Yue was sitting on the stool in a daze. When she heard this, she immediately stood up and quickly walked to the door to take a look.
The waterwheel had just arrived on this floor. It was still some distance away from Du Yue’s room. It took nearly 20 minutes before it arrived at their door. “Each person will get a catty of water. Find a container yourself!”
After a few years, they encountered a waterwheel once again, and it was still one catty per person. Du Yue turned around and went back to the room. She took out three mineral water bottles. The mineral water bottles could hold up to 500 milliliters of water, so it was easy to fill them up.
Just as Du Yue was about to return to the room after filling up the water, the door opposite her was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
The next second, a muscular man walked out from inside. It was Guan Sheng. Du Yue did not want to have too much contact with him, so she only glanced at him before immediately retracting her gaze. She took the three bottles of water and turned around to enter the room, closing the door behind her. The moment the door closed, Du Yue heard Guan Sheng ask, “How many times do you give out water a day?”
“How many times? Are you lost in your daydreams? Once a day is good enough!”
Hearing this, Du Yue sighed in her heart. Each person could only get one bottle of water a day, which could only ensure that they would not die of thirst. However, the situation now was special. It was inconvenient to do anything in the underground shelter, and water was scarce. It was understandable. Du Yue poured the three bottles of water into the bucket in the space. They were not short of water now, and they did not know where the water came from.
Du Yue did not dare to drink it, so she decided to save it for washing up.
After dinner, Du Yue and the other two held their tablets and watched their favorite movies with earphones. At 10:30 pm, they put down their phones and closed their eyes to sleep. The conditions were limited, so the three of them used sleeping bags. Du Yue’s sleep quality had always been good. Less than five minutes after she lay down, she was already sound asleep. Just as she was dreaming, she was suddenly awakened by a piercing cry. Du Yue was shocked and immediately sat up.
As soon as she sat up, she heard He Xing’s comforting voice. “It’s nothing. The child next door is crying.”
Du Yue took a deep breath and turned to ask He Xing, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Otherwise, how could he have woken up faster than her?
“I was woken up by the noise too, but I woke up earlier than you. The child started crying earlier, but it was a little softer at first.”
Du Yue nodded thoughtfully. She could tell that the crying belonged to a child about two or three years old. As the child sobbed non-stop, they seemed to be muttering something in a low voice. She did not know what had happened. Du Yue found three pairs of earplugs from her space and handed a pair to He Xing. Then, she opened the tent and called Xia Ju softly, “Do you want earplugs?”
Xia Ju was tossing and turning due to the child and could not fall asleep. At this moment, it was as if she had seen her savior. “Yes, yes, yes! Hurry up and give me a pair. I’m going crazy.”
After Xia Ju took the earplugs and put them on, she quickly fell asleep again. Du Yue smiled and shook her head. She then returned to her tent to continue sleeping. The earplugs worked well. After Du Yue put them on, she was no longer woken up by the child’s cries. She slept until seven in the morning.
Although it was dark in the underground shelter, Du Yue was still used to maintaining her routine. She did not want to confuse the day and night. Since they could not see the sun now, whether it was their body or their emotions, they might face problems. If they did not have a good rest, they would probably fall sick before they could get out of here. After tidying up the sleeping bag, Du Yue and Xia Ju went to the toilet together. Along the way, they bumped into many people, but everyone lowered their heads and walked in a hurry. No one paid attention to each other..
