Chapter 182: 181

181 His Heart Ached for All Her Suffering

“Unfortunately, at that time, the base I was in was small and remote, and we didn’t manage to develop a variety of crops that could be grown. The snakes, insects, rats, and ants were only enough to stop us from starving to death. In order not to starve to death, many people no longer cared about human ethics and morality. They began to set their sights on the weaker people.

“No one would take the risk to walk into the thick fog unless it was for something extremely important. In the thick fog, everything was dangerous. No one knew what would suddenly rush out and take our lives.

“After the thick fog, it was another four years of eternal night. By then, almost everyone had fallen into madness. I could only hide and stay far away from the crowd. I lived a life of hiding every day because if I was not careful, I could become someone else’s meal.

“To be honest, I didn’t understand what was the point of living like that. I was living in fear every day, and I did not get a good night’s sleep. However, I only knew that no matter how difficult it was, I still did not want to give up any hope of living.

“What later cut through the eternal night was a huge bolt of lightning that almost blinded everyone’s eyes. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The thick fog dissipated, bringing new hope to the survivors. Like everyone else, I walked outside and looked at the sky that was gradually brightening up. I was waiting for heavy rain to completely wash away the haze that had been brought to my heart by the thick fog over the years.

“However, it was still too early for us to be happy. What arrived after everyone’s long wait was not an ordinary downpour but acid rain that could kill. The acid rain poured down, not giving anyone a chance to react. No one had time to dodge.

“Like many other unfortunate people, I died in the acid rain. I don’t know how many people survived the acid rain, nor do I know what they experienced after that.”

Du Yue’s tone was indifferent as if she was telling someone else’s story. However, the man who was listening at the side could not help but feel heartache. Du Yue was about to turn her head to look at him when she was pulled into his arms. He Xing’s serious and determined voice came from above Du Yue’s head. “Whether it’s the thick fog, the acid rain, or even things that are more terrible and dangerous, I’ll always be with you. Regardless of life or death, we’ll be together. The trajectory of this life and your previous life has already changed. And now, not only are we in the largest base in the country, but we also have our own small courtyard. The things that happened in your previous life will never happen again. Trust me.

“I can think of a way to disclose some information to Captain Zuo. I believe that he’s smart enough to remind the base to come up with a solution. Du Yue, there’s no need to be timid, much less afraid. I’ll make sure you live to be 300 years old. By then, we’ll lie in bed and look through our old photos, watch TV shows, and feast together.”

In fact, Du Yue was already mentally prepared for everything that might happen after this. She was not afraid at all. She was just a little sad. However, her heart warmed up when she heard He Xing’s words. The two of them stood side by side by the window and looked out for a while before walking out of the bedroom.

The toilet was in the corner of the courtyard. If they wanted to get there, they had to go through the thick fog. However, the outer wall of the courtyard had already been installed with a power grid. After the power grid was installed, it had been running 24 hours a day, so there was no need to worry about anyone breaking in. However, to be on the safe side, the two of them still went to the toilet together. One person went first, while the other waited. After the two of them were done, they returned to the house together.

The toilet was originally a dry toilet as Du Yue could not dig a sewer for them herself. In the end, she decided to solve the problem with cat litter. Anyway, she had stored tens of tons of cat litter in her interspace. It was enough for two people to use together. As for washing up, they could only do it in the living room.

After washing up, the two of them went to the kitchen together. Although there was a lot of ready-made food in the interspace, they had nothing to do now. Besides, He Xing was very keen on cooking, so it was quite interesting to cook together to kill time.

The two of them usually had a simple breakfast. They cooked a pot of millet congee and fried two eggs. They had them with two steamed buns and paired them with some pickled vegetables. The two of them ate with great satisfaction. Du Yue even found four frosty snow fruits from her interspace. She cut them up and ate them to ensure that she would get enough vitamins for every meal.

After breakfast, the two of them cleaned up the dishes together. Then, Du Yue heard a sound coming from the courtyard next door. It had been almost half a month since they had moved into the small courtyard. Du Yue knew long ago that the courtyards on the left and right were occupied. When they were at home, they could occasionally hear the sounds from the house next door, but they had never met the owner of the house.
