I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse

347 If the Sandstorm Continues for Too Long, It Will Definitely Cause the Price of Food to Soar

Du Yue did not dare to think too deeply. If that was really the case, then she would probably die again. Putting everything else aside, there was the matter of the crops in the small courtyard. Even if the improved varieties had stronger vitality than ordinary ones, could they really be harvested if the sandstorm continued like this?

Although Yu Xinya had been avoiding talking about the crops for the past few days, Du Yue knew that she must be worried. Thinking of the crops, Du Yue could not help but think of the food problem. She quickly found the walkie-talkie. “Sister Yu, are you going out to buy movable boards today?”

“Yes, why? Is there anything you want to buy?”

“No, but after you buy the movable boards, you’d better go buy some food.

“I don’t know when this sandstorm will end. If it affects the normal growth of crops, the price of food in the base will definitely soar.”

“Why didn’t I think of this? Alright! I’ll go buy some food today and stock it up! Do you want to buy some too? I can help you bring it back.”

“There’s no need to trouble yourself. He Xing and I are also planning to go out. We can buy it ourselves.”

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Yu Xinya paused. “Okay, then let’s go together. We’ll leave after breakfast so that the person who opens the door won’t have to make two trips.”

After making an appointment, Du Yue put the walkie-talkie aside. He Xing had been sitting quietly at the side until now. “Are we going out to buy food?”

Du Yue nodded. “Let’s buy some just for show. The most important thing is to ask how to access the base’s network. Otherwise, if we stay in our house all day, we won’t be able to know if there’s any new news in the base.”

Although both of them liked to stay at home, this did not mean that they had to ignore what was going on outside. The third base was a big base, after all. There were experts in all kinds of fields in the base. As for how long the sandstorm would last, they should have a way to predict it, right?

“Alright, then let’s have a simple meal and hurry up.” He Xing urged. After the two of them ate three buns each, they put on their clothes and left the house. Both of them were wearing windbreakers, and their cuffs and trouser legs were tightly tied. They were wearing headgear that only exposed their eyes, nose, and mouth. They also wore sunglasses, masks, and gloves. No matter how fierce the sandstorm was, they would not be affected at all.

Du Yue found a full-length mirror and leaned it against the wall. She stood in front of the mirror and carefully looked at herself in the mirror. She looked like a fully-armed mummy. The only difference was that she was dressed in black. Du Yue suddenly had an idea. She took out a submachine gun and placed it on her arm. Looking at the woman in the mirror, she looked very good. She looked even more like a female devil who did all kinds of evil! When Du Yue was doing this, He Xing was beside her, smiling gently at her.

He Xing had not put on his sunglasses when Du Yue noticed him giggling. “Why are you peeking at me and giggling?”

Could it be that he thought she was a little stupid? Hmph, she did not care. Even if she was really stupid, she had learned it from He Xing after spending a long time with him. One was like the company one kept!

He Xing walked forward and put an arm around her shoulders. “Nothing. I just feel that you’re becoming more and more like me.”

Du Yue took off her sunglasses and held He Xing’s arms excitedly. “Do you know how to read minds?” Otherwise, how could he guess what she was thinking so accurately?

He Xing thought about it seriously for a while, then shook his head seriously. “Not yet.”

“If you want me to learn it, I can learn it for you.”

Du Yue was speechless. There was no need for that. She did not want He Xing to find out that she was silently criticizing him in her heart.

The two of them joked for a while more before Yu Xinya’s voice came from the walkie-talkie. “Sister, have you guys finished eating? We’re already at the door!”

“We’re done. Wait a moment. We’ll go out immediately!” When Du Yue answered with the walkie-talkie, He Xing had already put on his goggles and mask. Du Yue put on her sunglasses again, and the two of them walked out of the house side by side.

This was the first time they had left home after the sandstorm. The moment the door of the living room was pushed open, the yellow sand that filled the sky was rolled in by the strong wind. Du Yue and He Xing, who were standing at the door, could not avoid it. Fortunately, they had made sufficient preparations this time. They would not become small clay figurines like before.
