I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

Chapter 382: The Fourth Base

It was an RV. Du Yue had seen it before. Before the apocalypse, many young couples would drive this kind of car to travel. As the car was small, it could only accommodate two people. However, it had more functions. Everything could be settled in the car. However, since the apocalypse, there were no traffic police on the road to check if the car was overloaded, so Du Yue did not know how many people were in the car. Du Yue looked around for a moment and then looked away. “We can’t take out the RV, so we’ll just make do outside. Instant noodles, buns, and rice balls. What do you want to eat?”

He Xing did not hesitate. “Meat buns.”

Xia Ju thought about it. “I want instant noodles!”

Du Yue took out a box of instant noodles and handed it to Xia Ju. She also took out six pork and cabbage buns and gave them to He Xing.

After the three of them got their food, they lowered their heads at the same time. No one said anything else and only cared about filling their stomachs. The space in the car was too small. After the three of them finished eating, the smell of food still lingered in the car. Du Yue put the bowl of instant noodles into her space. “Let’s continue driving!”

Originally, they had planned to take a nap after eating, but now that there were strangers beside them, they decided to continue on their way in order to avoid trouble. They had just started their car when the window of the RV suddenly rolled down. Someone poked their head out and looked over.

However, that person did not have the glasses that Du Yue and the others were wearing. They were nearly 20 meters away, so of course, they could not see anything. Du Yue stepped on the accelerator and subconsciously looked inside when she passed by the RV. She saw a familiar face. However, Du Yue did not know if she was mistaken. Although it was only for a moment, He Xing still noticed that something was wrong with Du Yue.

“What’s wrong? Did you see someone you know?”

Du Yue frowned. “The woman sitting inside seems to be Xia Zhixing.”

Hearing that, He Xing searched for that person’s face in his mind. “Xia Zhixing. Shouldn’t she be in the third base?”

Du Yue shook her head. “Maybe I was mistaken.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s her or not. It has nothing to do with us anyway.”

He Xing’s thoughts were the same as Du Yue’s. They had only met by chance, and they had not even talked to each other properly. Whether it was Xia Zhixing or not, it had nothing to do with them. However, Xia Ju, who did not know anything, looked at Du Yue and He Xing with some doubt. Even so, she did not ask anything.

Everyone was curious, but not everyone could control themselves from asking about things that others did not tell them. However, Xia Ju could do it. The car was driving on the national highway, so their speed was definitely much slower than on the expressway. Not only that, there were more bridges on the national highway than on the expressway. They could still cross the shorter bridges, but if the bridges were too long, they could only take a detour.

The journey was supposed to take about five hours. They had been going around for a full three days but had not arrived yet.

Along the way, they encountered a few waves of people, but at this time, everyone would be wary of strangers. No one took the initiative to talk to them, so they were not disturbed. The place where they met those people was far away from the third and fourth bases. Obviously, those survivors were not from the two official bases but from some small bases. Thinking of this, Du Yue could not help but think of Wan Dapcng and Yu Xinya. It was an accident that she became familiar with them. Du Yue did not want to be too deeply tied to anyone. Therefore, they did not go to small bases anymore. Along the way, they found places far away from people to park and rest.

If it was really inconvenient to take out the RV, the three of them would just stay in He Xing’s car for the night. No one complained. On the fifth day, the car finally drove into Jinyang County. Before the apocalypse, Jinyang County was a famous civilized city in the country. There were beautiful mountains and fresh air that the city did not have. In the northeast of Jinyang County, there was a very famous volcanic ruin. Every year, many people came to visit because of its reputation. The fourth base was located in the southwest of Jinyang County. It was not in the city but in the suburbs.

He Xing drove the car toward the fourth base. Without an electronic navigation system, they could not find the exact location of the fourth base. After much effort, they found the base’s wall, but they could not find the gate. After driving around the wall for almost an hour, they finally saw the gate of the fourth base..
