Chapter 181: 180

180 Everyone Thought That Their Days Were Getting Better

There was a mat at the door of the bedroom, and there was a shoe rack next to it. On it were the shoes that the two of them often wore.

After all, the bedroom was carpeted, and the shoes they wore outside had to be changed before entering the room. The floor of the living room and kitchen was made of ordinary cement because there were no floorboards. Du Yue and He Xing sprinkled some water on the floor, then swept carefully with brooms. They did not think about decorating this space.

Although under normal circumstances, no one would come to their house. However, just in case, the living room and kitchen were decorated as simply as possible. There were only tables and chairs for two people in the living room. There was also a cabinet by the wall, which could be used to store some miscellaneous items.

There was a two-meter-long table in the kitchen with an electric pot, an electromagnetic stove, a kettle, a chopping board, and other things on it. Beside it was a small cart similar to the one used in a hotpot restaurant. The commonly used condiments and knives were all placed on the small cart. As for the ingredients, they hadn’t taken them out. They were still in Du Yue’s interspace. After all, they did not have a refrigerator now, and the ingredients would go bad if they were taken out early.

After the house was completely tidied up, Du Yue and He Xing went out a few times. After all, it was not long before the thick fog arrived. Once it came, they would definitely stay at home and not go out. On the 11th day after the earthquake, the destroyed houses in the base had basically been completely rebuilt. After all, the base lacked everything except labor. As for the houses that were badly damaged, they could only give up on them. After all, they had limited resources.

For example, there were still some people living in the small building that Du Yue had lived in before. Of course, they knew that it was not safe to live there. However, they did not have the money to rent another house, and they did not want to stay in the shared dormitory with others. Thus, they had to live in that dangerous building for the time being.

Most of the time, people had the mentality of getting lucky. Although it was a dangerous building, it did not mean that it would definitely collapse, right? Du Yue had no interest in delving into the thoughts and choices of these people, nor would she make any judgment. Everyone had their own considerations and choices, and they had to bear the consequences of their own choices.

These days, the base was much livelier than before. Now that the weather was warm, many people had started to set up stalls outside, selling all kinds of things. Most of them sold snacks made of sweet potatoes and potatoes. Since they were all made into snacks, the price would definitely be slightly higher. However, there were still many people who were willing to pay the sum. Although sweet potatoes and potatoes were available to everyone, not everyone had the time and energy to make them into snacks. Even if some people wanted to make them, not everyone had so many condiments.

If they could not do it themselves, it was good to spend some contribution points to buy some snacks to satisfy their cravings. Just by looking at the people who set up these stalls, Du Yue knew that many people had regained their confidence and found other ways to live well. If the natural disasters ended here, it was not impossible for everyone to slowly restore order to their lives.

Unfortunately, the heavens did not grant this wish. 15 days after the earthquake, Du Yue set an alarm to wake her up two hours earlier. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to walk to the window and pull the curtains open. After the curtains were pulled open, she looked out through the glass. The scene outside had been covered by a thick fog. All she could see was a vast expanse of white, and she could not even see the sun.

Even though she was mentally prepared, Du Yue’s heart could not help but sink when she saw the thick fog with her own eyes. As Du Yue was watching, He Xing sat up from the bed, put on his slippers, and walked to her side. Du Yue could feel his breathing, but she did not turn around. Instead, she said softly, “Today is the 15th day after the earthquake. In my previous life, the thick fog lasted for three years from today onward. This thick fog not only blocked people’s vision and affected everyone’s movement, but it also gave the snakes, insects, rats, and ants a chance to thrive.”

They took advantage of the thick fog to gather together silently and began to attack the humans secretly. In the beginning, the humans were not prepared and suffered a lot. But soon, everyone reacted and worked together to catch those snakes, insects, rats, and ants as food. They were no longer afraid of pests.
