Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, unable to guess what Shen Teng meant by that. However, she did not open her mouth to ask. She only quietly waited for Shen Teng to speak. Shen Teng sighed softly. “1 met a team in the city. At first, everyone got along quite well. But as time passed, there were differences. 1 would take a step back if it was over a small problem, and it wouldn’t delay anything. However, after the thick fog dissipated, they wanted to rely on a large base and move to the city with the base. They wanted to take the opportunity to make a good living for themselves. I didn’t want to go with them, so we naturally parted ways.”
Shen Teng laughed at himself. “1 brought some food and water with me when 1 left. 1 thought 1 would be able to find a place to stay before I finished my supplies. However, I didn’t expect not to see a place for supplies along the way to the north. I still had some food left, but my water was long gone. 1 walked all the way to the grassland and saw your small courtyard. If I hadn’t managed to find a water source, I’d probably have died on this vast grassland.”
Shen Teng casually recounted his experience as if it was not his own experience.
Du Yue nodded and did not ask why he had become so indifferent to life and death. She only asked, “What’s next? Where are you planning to go?”
Shen Teng’s gaze fell on the endless grassland outside through the window. “If you don’t mind, I plan to settle down on the grassland too.”
Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not dislike the other party, but she was a little surprised. “The grassland is not our personal property. You can stay here if you want. You don’t have to tell us.”
“Okay, then I’ll stay. It’s a pity that 1 can’t taste your and Boss He’s cooking again. Don’t you plan to continue operating a restaurant here?”
Du Yue had never thought about this, but since Shen Teng had mentioned it, she could consider it. “It’s not impossible. We happen to have some chickens that lay eggs every day. Although they can’t be killed for meat, it’s definitely not a problem to fry a few eggs.”
Du Yue said it casually, but she did not know how tempting it was for Shen Teng, who had not eaten eggs for a long time. He could not help but swallow his saliva. “When the time comes, 1 will definitely patronize your business! By the way, where did you trade your livestock? Is there a base nearby? 1 want to go there to exchange for some living supplies.”
“I’m not sure if there’s a base, but the tribe we’re trading with is only about an hour’s drive from here. The first time, their people just happened to come over to trade things with us. They’re outside now. You can go out and ask if they want to trade for some things with you. They should know where the nearest base is too.”
Shen Teng nodded and stood up immediately. “Alright, I’ll go and ask them first.”
Du Yue followed him out. “Let’s go together. 1 want to go over and take a look too.”
The two of them walked quickly to the main entrance and heard Lu Donglai saying goodbye to He Xing. Obviously, they had reached a deal that satisfied both sides.
Du Yue quickly called out to stop Lu Donglai. “Wait a minute. This man’s name is Shen Teng. He’s from the same hometown as us. He has a few questions for you.”
Lu Donglai extended his hand very readily. “Hello, my name is Lu Donglai. If you have any questions, just ask them.”
Shen Teng extended his hand to shake the other party’s hand before withdrawing it. “Sorry for the trouble. 1 want to ask if there’s a base nearby. I want to trade for some things. Can your tribe do that?”
“There is a base, but it’s a little far away. It’ll take about ten hours to get there by car. What do you want to trade?”
“I want a tent. 1 plan to stay in the grasslands in the future.”
“A tent? Then you don’t have to travel so far. Our tribe has some.”
“That’s great. Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me yet. You have to take out something we can use before we can exchange the tent with you,” Lu Donglai said with a smile.
“Don’t worry about that. If I hadn’t come prepared, 1 wouldn’t have asked you for a trade.” Both of them were straightforward people. After hitting it off, they did not delay any longer and left together. Watching them walk away, Du Yue told He Xing and Xia Ju what Shen Teng had said earlier.
He Xing sighed. “Ever since the apocalypse, everyone’s peaceful life has been broken. Now, anyone on the streets can make a movie out of their experience. Unfortunately, no one can watch movies now..”
