Du Yue frowned. She did not understand why Guan Sheng would suddenly say such a strange thing. Guan Sheng looked up at the two people entangled in front of him and continued to speak to Du Yue in a low voice, “Among the three of you, one of you developed such a fully functional car, and the other developed a nutrient solution that can double food production. Although you haven’t done anything, the three of you are inseparable, which is enough to attract the attention of others. The higher-ups have been watching you in secret for a long time.”
When Du Yue heard this, her eyes gradually turned deep, but she did not respond. Guan Sheng did not care about her reaction and continued, “The most basic construction of the base has been completed. The construction of the advanced stage is about to begin. During the volcanic eruption, the base was collecting gold through various methods. You should have heard about it long ago. The news I got is that the gold was taken away by a person in the end. What he promised to the base was that as long as there was enough gold, he would be able to build an underground city. At that time, even if people lived underground, they could still live the same life as before the apocalypse.”
Guan Sheng’s words might sound confusing at first. However, Du Yue did not interrupt him. Instead, she listened attentively. “The person who took the gold probably came from the same background as the two of them. You’d better be prepared in advance. The higher-ups of the base are paying attention to you. It won’t be long before that person knows about your existence.”
Speaking of this, Guan Sheng’s gaze swept across Du Yue and the other two. “A fellow countryman meeting with a fellow countryman. That touching scene is only limited to the situation where your existence does not pose a threat to others. I’m sure you don’t need my reminder to know this. You saved her life, so I’m giving you a heads-up. The rest of it still depends on you.” Although he did not say it directly, the three of them knew who Guan Sheng was referring to.
Du Yue did not speak until she heard Guan Sheng’s last sentence. Then, she asked, “Is that child yours?”
“Yes.”
Du Yue nodded. “Why do you think that He Xing and 1 saved Xia Zhixing?”
Ever since Xia Zhixing started to approach them, Du Yue had been curious about this. She had not had a suitable opportunity to ask before. If she did not ask now, she was afraid that she would not have the chance to meet them again in the future.
Regardless of whether Guan Sheng would tell her the truth, Du Yue still wanted to ask. What Du Yue did not expect was that Guan Sheng did not hesitate and told the truth, “Zhixing’s sense of smell is many times more sensitive than others since she was young. That day, she smelled a faint fragrance and later found out that the smell came from you.”
Du Yue was a little surprised. After such a long time, Du Yue had guessed all kinds of reasons. Du Yue even wondered if Xia Zhixing had come from an unknown planet, so she had special abilities.
However, she had never thought that the reason would be so simple. Looking at Du Yue’s surprised expression, Guan Sheng smiled slightly. “Why? Is this answer beyond your expectations?”
Du Yue nodded. “Yes.” Not only was it unexpected, but it was also unbelievable.
“I’ve told you everything I know. That’s all I have to say. You guys should pay attention.” After Guan Sheng finished speaking, he walked away silently. The others were too focused on Li Zhonghao and Diao Zhuo to notice what Guan Sheng was doing or saying.
After Guan Sheng walked a little farther away, Du Yue lowered her voice and asked He Xing and Xia Ju, “What do you two think?”
Originally, they had planned to leave the base. However, Guan Sheng told them that there was an interstellar man in the fourth base and that he might have been paying attention to them. They were in the light, and that person was in the dark. Perhaps their every move was being monitored. Once the people hiding in the dark discovered that they were about to leave, it was very likely that they would immediately take measures. In this way, they would be in a passive position.
Xia Ju pondered for a moment. “I’ll go along with your arrangements. You can decide.”
If it weren’t for He Xing and Du Yue, she would probably still be imprisoned in the third base. Ever since she followed Du Yue and He Xing, she had truly lived a carefree life. Therefore, no matter what path they decided to take, Xia Ju would continue to follow them..
