I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

90 Many Survivors

In the interstellar, everyone worshipped the strong. There were many women who could beat an adult man to the point where he had no power to fight back with their bare hands. He Xing had never thought of himself as a strong person, but he did not like it when females took advantage of their gender to guilt-trip others while making demands.

He had been wandering in the galaxy for so long, and all the men and women he had come into contact with were his guests. At most, he had only admired them, but he had never felt what he did just now. A person was just sitting there and talking, yet their entire body seemed to be glowing.

“He Xing! He Xing!” He Xing looked at Du Yue, still in a daze.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

“I’ll drive in the afternoon. You rest.”

“Alright! Then let’s get out of the car and switch seats!”

The two of them got out of the car and changed seats. As soon as they sat down, they received a notification from the walkie-talkie that the envoy was allowed to continue forward.

The driver’s seat was slightly further back when He Xing sat in it. Du Yue adjusted it briefly, fastened her seat belt, and followed the car in front of her. She drove slowly.

He Xing, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, took out a map and studied it carefully for a while. “We’re almost halfway there now. We’ll probably reach the place before dark. We’ll have to search for survivors first, then eliminate the wild animals. I think we’ll have to stay there for two to three days.”

Du Yue had the same thought before they set off, so she prepared enough food for the two of them for about three days. Of course, even if they stayed longer, there was no need to worry. He Xing must have brought a lot of food with him too. As she was thinking, He Xing put away the map in his hand and picked up his backpack from the back seat. He found a pack of macadamia nuts. “Do you like to eat nuts? I’ve brought some macadamia nuts. I’ll crack some for you.”

He Xing found a piece of newspaper and placed it under the nuts. He took off one of his rings and used it to crack the macadamia nuts one by one. Du Yue was at a loss for words when she saw He Xing use the sharp ring as a tool.

Was this what it meant to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? Not really. It could only be said that he was making the best use of everything!

The macadamia nuts were quite big, and their round shape was actually a little pleasing to the eye when he held a nut in his slender fingers. He Xing was very fast at cracking the nuts, and it did not take long for him to get a small pile of them. Seeing that Du Yue had no intention of eating, he urged her, “Why aren’t you eating? You don’t like them? I also brought hazelnut, pine nuts, and melon seeds. Do you want some?”

Du Yue was amused listening to him. How many nuts did he bring? Did he think of her as a little squirrel? Du Yue drove the entire afternoon while He Xing peeled and cracked all sorts of nuts. After the two of them had tried all the nuts He Xing brought, the convoy finally stopped.

They had finally arrived! This journey of more than 50 kilometers would have taken an hour if it had happened before the apocalypse, no matter how bad the traffic on the road was. But now, they had taken an entire day. Just thinking about it made one’s heart feel very heavy.

Du Yue did not continue thinking about it. Instead, she set her gaze on the holiday resort in front of her. This holiday resort was very close to the first base. After all, it was only less than 60 kilometers away. There were mountains and rivers next to the villa, and there were also villages nearby where people lived.

Therefore, there would be quite a few survivors here.

The convoy drove directly into the resort’s parking lot. The entire resort occupied a large area, and the parking lot was very spacious. The six snow-sweeping trucks swept back and forth a few times and cleared the snow in the entire parking lot. All the vehicles in the convoy could now park inside.

They were not leaving the place that night, so Du Yue turned off the heaters after she parked the car. Seeing that the people in front of them were getting out of their cars one after another, Du Yue and He Xing packed their mountaineering bags and followed them out.

The entire resort’s homestay was made up of individual wooden houses with one or two floors. The doors and windows were also very large. If it was before the apocalypse, living in a wooden house like this and gathering around the furnace while watching the snow outside would be a very enjoyable thing.

However, after the apocalypse, wooden houses were just beautiful pieces of trash. They had poor insulation and poor wind resistance. Du Yue could see that many of the surrounding trees had been cut down, probably used for fire. There were also some wooden houses that had collapsed. It was unknown whether they were crushed by the blizzard or attacked by some wild animals.

As far as the eye could see, everything was in ruins.
