Chapter 188: 187

187 To Be Honest, She Really Didn’t Understand

The two of them kept cursing at her at her doorstep. They meant to say that she seduced He Xing with her good looks and made him her sugar daddy. They predicted that she would not have a good ending in the future. After being abandoned, she would not have any skills to fend for herself and could only engage in shady business in the future.

Du Yue was not angry. She only found it funny. There were many people in this world who would not hesitate to use the most vicious words to speculate and insult others. They could not bear to see others living better than themselves. What was even more laughable and sad was that a large number of them were also women. In today’s society, there were already many prejudices against women. Not only did these people not help women clear their names, but they also helped men to criticize women. It was really stupid.

They thought that they were capable and could consider things from a man’s point of view, so they could get the man’s pity. Little did they know that the more they were like this, the more unscrupulous men would be, thinking that they were superior and women were inferior.

However, they were wrong. Du Yue was not a fragile flower that relied on others. She was a man-eating flower. If someone recklessly approached her and made her angry, she would eat that person in one bite.

Ever since Du Yue turned them away at the door, her neighbors tactfully stopped bothering her. Du Yue was quite satisfied with this. As long as they did not bother her, she did not care whether these people loved each other or schemed against each other.

Just a few days after Du Yue’s peanuts grew out, He Xing brought back news that the crops on the plantation would be ready for harvest in less than a month. Du Yue estimated the time. Her peanuts should need another two months before they were ready for harvest. In that case, the growth cycle of the crops on the plantation had been shortened by a month.

It had to be said that this was a piece of news that was enough to make everyone happy. The harvest was coming, and everyone in the base was in a good mood. The atmosphere of the entire base had become much more relaxed and cheerful. Although Du Yue did not step out of the house, she could hear the people’s expectations for food from the conversations of her neighbors every day.

A month passed by quickly, and the day of harvest arrived. Everyone in the base was looking forward to the return of the people who had gone to the plantation to harvest the crops. Those who had families working on the plantation looked forward to the 100 catties of food that they would get. That was a full 100 catties, enough for a family of three to have three months’ worth of food. There were also those who had earned some contribution points through work. They went to the supermarket early in the morning to line up and wait. At the same time, they kept refreshing their phones, waiting for the food to be listed so that they could grab it as soon as possible.

These people waited from day to night. The lights around them became brighter and brighter, but the people working on the plantation did not return. As usual, Du Yue had prepared two dishes and a soup, waiting for He Xing to come back for dinner. However, when she saw He Xing’s worried face, she knew that something must have gone wrong at the base.

“What happened? Is there a problem with the construction of the underground city?”

He Xing shook his head. “No, something happened at the plantation. The workers were supposed to return in the afternoon, but there was no news of them. Later, the base sent a group of people to look for them. It was then they found out that the people there were robbed.”

“Who’s so bold?” Even Du Yue could not help but be shocked when she heard the news. That was the official plantation of the base, and it was guarded by the base’s security guards with guns. How could it be robbed?

“They’ve probably been watching us for a long time, waiting for the day of harvest to come and take the produce away. Those people are the survivors of the city we went to previously. The more than 100 people we saw before were only a very small part of them. The city is so big, and there were quite a few survivors. However, there should be people who escaped from other places as well. I don’t know why they didn’t come to the base but mixed with the survivors. In the end, they even robbed the plantation.”

He Xing was not the only one who did not understand. Du Yue was just as puzzled. Since they had a way to get to the base after the extreme cold, why did they not just come to live in the base? Now, when survivors came to the base, they did not need to offer up any supplies. As long as they got a new ID card, they could come to live in the base.

Those who were capable could rent their own houses, and those who were not could live in the dormitories in the base. No matter what, as long as one had hands and feet, one would be able to eat well and wear warm clothes. Could it be that all of them did not want to be controlled by the base, did not want to live a stable life, and had gotten used to the survival of the fittest?
