He Xing turned to look at Du Yue when he heard that. He could not help but laugh when he saw her worried expression. “Do you think I don’t have that many bullets? You’re overthinking it. I have as many as you want.”

He Xing turned around and returned to his bedroom. Two minutes later, he came out with a box. “Don’t be fooled by its size. There are a thousand bullets inside.” He Xing put the box aside and moved two more boxes over. “There are 3,800 bullets here in total. I’ll give you the extra 300 bullets.”

One bullet was five grams, so 300 bullets would be three catties. It was almost the price of a gun. How could she accept it? Du Yue took out three gold bars from her pocket and handed them to the man. “There are 1,500 grams in total here. That’s exactly three catties. ”

He Xing asked, “Do you just casually bring around these gold bars in your pocket?” However, He Xing was content when he saw the dozens of catties of gold on the table. He smiled. “I won’t stand on ceremony with you, then.”

Du Yue was more than happy to hear that. She had never liked to owe people favors. It was easy to repay a debt, but it was difficult to repay a favor.

He Xing helped Du Yue move the boxes back to her house, but he only moved them to the door and did not enter or look at her house. “Are you busy today? If you’re not, can you accompany me for a walk? I want to familiarize myself with the base.” Looking at He Xing’s bright black eyes and the few boxes by her feet, Du Yue could not bring herself to reject him. “Sure.”

“Then I’ll look for you after midnight when it’s not so hot anymore. We’ll go out together.”

“Alright,” she said. After closing the door, Du Yue could not help but sigh. She was used to being alone, so she was still a little unaccustomed to the sudden appearance of a chatterbox who loved to laugh and talk. However, the other party had just sold her the gun and bullets. She could not possibly treat him with disdain after getting all these advantages from him. After experiencing two doomsday events, she understood human nature well, and her personality had become a little cold. However, she still understood the basic ways of the world.

Although He Xing was a little talkative, he never said anything that he should not. He was a man who knew his limits. After the meal, both of them realized that the other kept secrets, but they had no intention of exploring each other’s secrets.

Just like how Du Yue did not ask how He Xing managed to bring in so many weapons from the outside, He Xing did not ask her why she had so much gold. Du Yue looked at the box at her feet, feeling more and more satisfied.

She did not care about other things. The most important thing for her now was that she had accidentally obtained a good weapon, which was a pleasant surprise. Du Yue opened the boxes and carefully examined the bullets in them for a long time. Then, she closed the boxes very carefully and put them away in her interspace. After playing with the gun for a while, she reluctantly put it back inside the box.

She put the gun into her space.She could take it out whenever she wanted to. However, Du Yue did not let herself get too happy as she still remembered her previous plans. She had planned to cook at home every day from now on. The first step of her preparation work was to clean up the kitchen.

The kitchen windows were also covered with a heat-resistant film. There was a thick curtain inside and a heat-resistant curtain outside. Du Yue stood in the kitchen. Even though the sun was scorching outside, not a single ray of light could penetrate through. Similarly, even if the lights in the kitchen were turned on, the outside would not be able to see the light in the kitchen. As the windows were all closed, there was no way for the air to flow in. Before Du Yue could even start cooking, she felt the sweltering heat just from standing in the kitchen.

Du Yue had no choice but to get two more air-conditioning fans and add ice into the compartment to turn them on. She put them in the kitchen, and the temperature dropped immediately. Du Yue thought about it and decided to make some liangpi and cold noodles. The weather was getting hotter by the day, and her appetite was not as good as before. It was better to prepare some cooling food to relieve the summer heat.

Liangpi and cold noodles were not only appetizing but also would not release too strong of an aroma. Du Yue was not sure how enclosed the house was, but it was a good time to give it a try. If it was confirmed that the house was properly enclosed, she planned to make some flavorful stir-fried vegetables and stewed meat in the future.

Du Yue made the liangpi first. She took out the flour and added water to make the dough. Then, she prepared a basin of clear water and put the dough in the water to rub and wash it. As the flour was washed off bit by bit, the remaining dough became tough. Then, Du Yue placed a sheet of dough in a silver tray and placed it in a pot of boiling water. After two minutes, she made a batch of liangpi. After making enough liangpi, she added some cucumber, coriander, spicy cabbage, and some seasonings. A large pot of liangpi was then ready. Du Yue took out some containers, packed the liangpi into them, and put them directly into her interspace. She could just take out a serving if she wanted to eat it in the future.
