I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse

Chapter 224 - 224 The Base Will Always Be Your Home

224 The Base Will Always Be Your Home

He Xing was observing the front of the vehicle while Du Yue went to the back of the vehicle. This was an armored vehicle that could transport things. The rear compartment was very spacious and was equipped with a total of ten seats. Even if all of them were filled, it was still very spacious. These ten seats were all adjustable and could be put away when not in use. If all the seats were folded, there would be a few square meters of space. When the time came, one could lay a simple mattress on it and sleep directly in the back.

It was not a problem to put a table in the car so that they could have their meals comfortably. If they were going out in this car, they would not have to use the RV to sleep. After all, in terms of safety, armored vehicles were much more secure than RVs. After looking around, Zuo Mingdong stood at the front of the car and patted the steel plate. “How is it? not bad, right?”

He Xing nodded. “Yeah, it’s pretty good. I’ll take this. How many contribution points does it cost?”

Zuo Mingdong sighed helplessly. “After a long time of knowing you, I’ve realized that no matter the relationship you share with others, you’re not willing to take advantage of them at all. However, we both know how much you’ve helped the base all this while. I don’t know how long you’ll be gone for, but you’ll need to prepare all kinds of accessories. I’ll buy them for you. In total, you’ll just give me 30,000 contribution points. By the way, there’s one more important thing I forgot to tell you. Although this car is good in all aspects, the only drawback is that it consumes a lot of fuel. You have to prepare enough diesel.”

Diesel was the problem that Zuo Mingdong was most worried about. It was different from before the apocalypse when there were gas stations everywhere. After they left the base, it would not be easy to find a place to refuel. If Zuo Mingdong could think of this, Du Yue and He Xing must have already considered it.

Hence, He Xing said to him, “Please use the rest of my contribution points on my card, save for the 30,000 contribution points needed for the car, to purchase diesel. You can put them in the car.”

Zuo Mingdong felt that it was a little inappropriate. After all, at this time, carrying so much diesel on the road was no different from carrying gold.

However, when the words reached his mouth, he held them back. Since He Xing had already made up his mind to do this, it meant that he was fully prepared, so he should not say anything more. “Alright, I’ll prepare the things for you as soon as possible!” After the discussion, all the contribution points in Du Yue’s and He Xing’s cards were taken away by Zuo Mingdong.

They spent all the contribution points they had saved up for several years. It was impossible to say that they did not have complicated feelings over it. However, on second thought, they were using their contribution points to exchange for an armored vehicle. That complicated feeling quickly disappeared.

In the days that followed, He Xing returned to his usual routine of working at sunrise and returning at sunset. He was busy with matters in the underground city. Meanwhile, Du Yue had nothing to do, so she took the time to pack up and check the supplies in her space. There were too many things in the interspace, and many of them had not been used for a long time. Du Yue had forgotten about their existence. Fortunately, she had made a booklet at that time, so it was not difficult to go through the things now.

Half a month passed by quickly. Soon, it was time for Du Yue and He Xing to leave. Du Yue had no choice but to leave her off-road vehicle in the courtyard. There were only two of them, and He Xing was driving the armored vehicle while she was driving He Xing’s car. There was no one else who could drive the third car.

They left the car behind as a cover. Fortunately, there were a few other cars in Du Yue’s space, so leaving one behind would not affect anything. He Xing’s off-road vehicle was fully loaded with diesel, and the overhead compartment was also filled with luggage. Inside the armored vehicle, all the space was not wasted. It was also filled with diesel.

The two of them drove the cars out of the base’s gate and parked near the gate. They got out of the car and said goodbye to Zuo Mingdong. Zuo Mingdong did not say much. He just reached out and patted He Xing’s shoulder. “End it soon and come back home early. No matter how far you go, this place will always be your home and your path of retreat!”

He Xing laughed out loud and shook Zuo Mingdong’s hand with all his might. “Okay, we’ll be back as soon as possible!”

Zuo Mingdong looked at Du Yue. “Everything will go well!”

Du Yue smiled at him. “It will!”

The three of them did not like to reveal their emotions. They had mixed feelings in their hearts now that it was time to part, but they could only say these few words.
