I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

84  Participating in the Mission

The departure time was the next morning. At night, Du Yue found the mountaineering bag again and began to check the things inside. The last time she came back, Du Yue did not take out all her things. At that time, she put away the mountaineering bag, thinking that these things could be of use in the future if she went to the wilderness again.

However, she did not expect that she would have to use the mountaineering bag again not long after. Du Yue did not know how long this mission would take. She had to bring enough food, and she could not bring food that would easily attract attention.

After all, they were taking on the role of mercenaries this time. Other than the officials, there were many other mercenaries like she and He Xing. The situation was completely different from the last time she went out alone with He Xing. Du Yue packed quite a few packets of compressed biscuits, instant noodles, and ham in her backpack. She also found a few small sealed bags of condiments and stuffed them into the side pocket of her backpack.

After confirming that everything was ready, Du Yue returned to bed. The lights on the ceiling were switched off, leaving only the dim night light at the head of the bed. Du Yue was lying on the bed, but she did not feel sleepy at all. Her eyes were wide open, and she was in a daze.

In her second life, she spent most of her time alone. No matter what she did, she did it alone. Now that she suddenly had to join a group, she could not help her complicated emotions. In her previous life, she had participated in a few group activities, but they did not end well each time. She did not know if there would be any mishaps in this rescue mission.

However, Du Yue only worried for a moment before she returned to her senses and planned to sleep. Appropriate thinking was necessary, but overthinking would be useless. It was better to go to bed early so that she could have a good spirit and physical strength the next day. However, she had something on her mind, so she did not sleep well that night. Instead, she had a lot of dreams about her previous life.

The next morning, Du Yue woke up just as the hand of the clock hanging on the wall pointed to five. Even though Du Yue did not have a good sleep the night before, the sleepiness in her eyes vanished the moment she opened them. They were replaced with a clear look.

He Xing had told her yesterday that they would be moving out earlier today, so she had to wake up early and pack her things. Therefore, Du Yue did not dare to dawdle. After a simple wash-up, she put all the heating equipment in the room into her interspace. This time, Du Yue also found an iron bucket and put the burning charcoal in the furnace into the space.

Du Yue had never thought of this before. When she came back last time, she saw that the charcoal fire in the stove had almost gone out. It was then that she suddenly remembered that everything in her space would remain the same as when she put the things in. In the past few days, when she was burning charcoal in the furnace, she would pick out some charcoal from time to time and put it into the metal bucket before placing it into her space.

This way, when she came back from the mission, she could directly take out the burning charcoal from the space and use it. She would not have to withstand the cold when starting a fire. Once everything in the house was tidied up, Du Yue took out a ham sandwich from her interspace and gobbled it down in a few bites. Then, she carried her mountaineering bag that was half the height of a human and two four-liter thermal flasks with both hands as she left the house.

As soon as Du Yue opened her door, she saw the door next to hers open from the inside at the same time. He Xing walked out. Their eyes met, and they both nodded at each other. "Good Morning!"

"Mhm, good morning to you too!"

Seeing the two heavy-looking water flasks in Du Yue's hands, He Xing extended his hand. "Here, give me one. I'll help you carry it. He Xing had also brought a thermos, but it was smaller than the two Du Yue had, so he carried it on his back."

Du Yue was carrying one on her back, but she still brought the two large-capacity ones. It was better to bring too many things even if she might not end up using them, than to bring too few things and not have enough.

The two of them went downstairs. Du Yue took out a lock and locked the iron gate before they continued down. When they reached the sixth floor, they heard a door on the sixth floor creak softly. Du Yue did not want to bump into anyone, so she quickly walked downstairs.

Du Yue had just reached the platform between the sixth and fifth floors when she heard Wang Tong's voice behind her. "What a coincidence! We meet again!" There was a surprised tone in her voice, but the more she spoke, the more careful her voice became. "Where are you guys going so early in the morning?"

Her cautious tone made it sound like Du Yue and He Xing had bullied her.
