Chapter 618: Familiarize Yourself
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Originally, Du Yue had asked him to wait at Sunshine Courtyard because she was afraid that he would feel that they were strangers and would not be at ease to follow them. However, since he had already said so, Du Yue did not say anything else. “Then let’s go now.”
After saying that, Du Yue looked at Yu Xinya and Wan Dapeng. “If you don’t have anything to do, why don’t you come along? It’s a good time to familiarize yourself with our house.”
Wan Dapeng nodded heavily. “Let’s go!”
Yu Xinya also wanted to go, but after thinking for a while, she still rejected Du Yue’s suggestion. “Let Dapeng go with you. I won’t go over first. We haven’t been here for long, so we’re still unfamiliar with the situation here. However, I heard that there are many people here. There are many elderly and children in Sunshine Courtyard. If we both leave, it’ll be too dangerous if something happens to them.”
Du Yue understood Yu Xinya’s words very well. If so many lives were tied to her hands, she would be as cautious as Yu Xinya when making any decisions. Wan Dapeng looked at Du Yue apologetically. “Then 1 won’t go over either. I’ll look for you guys when I have time in the future.”
“You should go and take a look.” Yu Xinya smiled and looked at Wan Dapeng. “I’ll go back alone. You go back with them and catch up. After we settle down on the grasslands, you can bring me over in case I can’t find the place.”
Seeing that Yu Xinya had already said so, Wan Dapeng did not hesitate anymore. “Alright, then you take care of yourself.”
The few of them did not exchange too many pleasantries. After a simple farewell, they went their separate ways. On the way home, He Xing asked Wan Dapeng about some things. Of course, he did not forget about the nutrition pod Xia Ju left in the third base.
Speaking of the nutrition pod, Wan Dapeng had a lot to say. “Without the nutrition pod, who knows how many more people would have died in the base over the years? Young Master Wang naturally brought the nutrition pod along with him when he moved. Before he left, Young Master Wang specifically told everyone to keep the nutrition pod a secret. After all, there are many people on the grassland. In order to avoid trouble and danger, it’s better to have as few people know about the nutrition pod as possible.”
Hearing this, Du Yue could not help but reveal a look of admiration. She did not expect Young Master Wang to be much smarter than before after not seeing him for a few years. However, before she could speak, Wan Dapeng added, “But there are so many people in the third base, and not all of them are obedient. We’ve only been here for a few days, but the news about the nutrition pod has already spread throughout the entire grassland. Almost everyone knows about it now.
“Ever since the news spread, many people have taken the opportunity to inquire about the nutrition pod. There were also some who played tricks behind the scenes. Fortunately, the Wang family had made preparations in advance. Otherwise, something big would’ve happened!” Hearing this, Du Yue could not help but frown.
Too many people knew about the nutrition pod. It was a dangerous thing for both the people of the third base and themselves. The nutrition pod alone was enough for the people from other bases to act covetously. If they found out about Xia Ju’s uniqueness, their peaceful days would be over.
Fortunately, when she asked the boy to look for them, she did not reveal Xia Ju’s name to him. Du Yue heaved a sigh of relief.
Young Master Wang probably would not know that they were here for a while. As for what would happen in the future, they could only take it one step at a time. Along the way, Du Yue was worried about Xia Ju, so her expression was naturally not good.
The others also noticed that she was not in a good mood, so they all did not speak. Only the boy could not hide the excitement and happiness on his face. He was thinking about how he would soon have a thick military coat and would not have to suffer from the cold in the future. The boy could not help but be happy. He kept glancing at Du Yue.
Du Yue was frowning, obviously worried about something. The boy quickly wiped the smile off his face. Although the boy was only in his teens, he had excellent senses. After all, ever since his parents passed away, he had been surviving the apocalypse alone. He was no longer the ignorant child from before.
Being able to read other people’s expressions was the most basic survival skill. If one wanted to live safely, there were too many things that one needed to know.
When Du Yue pulled herself out of her thoughts, she saw this scene. The boy had his head lowered, and his footsteps were small and light. Even his breathing was much softer than before. He was reducing his presence to the minimum..
