Chapter 87: 87

87 I Can’t Tell Her That I’m an Alien

He Xing’s off-road vehicle drove carefully on the road of the base for half an hour before it reached the gate of the base. When they arrived, there were already many cars parked outside. Du Yue followed the line of vehicles and saw that the one leading them was indeed a snow-sweeping truck. The snow-sweeping trucks had already set off. The two at the front were like black dots.

Following behind the snow-sweeping trucks were buses and large trucks with trailers. There were more than 20 of them in total. There were also some combat vehicles with very tough appearances. Just by looking at them, one could tell that the people sitting inside must be the leaders sent by the base for this rescue mission.

After that, it was He Xing’s and the others’ private cars. Du Yue counted and found that there were about 30 private cars. It was snowing heavily outside. Everyone was sitting in their cars, and no one knew how many people were there. However, looking at this lineup, it was estimated that the number of people was not small.

It seemed that the base was quite concerned about the mission this time. Otherwise, they would not have arranged so many people. “I asked around before I came,” He Xing said in a low voice. “There weren’t as many people who went to other bases for previous missions. The number of people they’ve sent out for this mission is greater than all the previous missions.”

Du Yue gave He Xing a meaningful look when she heard that. As expected, the situation was just as she had expected. However, what surprised her even more was that for some reason, He Xing seemed to know what she was thinking almost every time. It was as if he could read her mind. Sometimes, Du Yue could not help but wonder if he did have the special ability to read minds.

Otherwise, why would He Xing take the initiative to explain her doubts to her every time before she could say anything? Du Yue did not mind He Xing reading her mind, but she still felt a little weird about it.

As Du Yue was thinking about this, she saw a man in a dark green military coat and military boots walk over before knocking on their window. He Xing rolled down the window, and the man in the military coat handed him a walkie-talkie. “Contact us through the walkie-talkie if there’s anything.”

“Alright,” He Xing said.

The man’s attitude was business-like, and he walked away after speaking. It was obvious that he was going to give each vehicle participating in the mission a walkie-talkie so that they could contact each other later. Since they could not use their cell phones, they could only rely on walkie-talkies to communicate. Du Yue looked at the walkie-talkie and suddenly thought of something. “Is the base planning to restore communication?”

He Xing nodded. “Of course. It seems to be in the midst of preparation.”

“They’ve been preparing for so long, yet there’s still no progress?” Du Yue asked him.

“I heard that they were already making preparations when it was extremely hot, but the drastic drop in temperature came so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard. The most important thing now is to study heating equipment. In addition, there are large and small rescue missions every day. There aren’t enough people in the base, so things have been delayed for a while. However, when the condition gets better, progress on restoring communication should more or less get back on track. But don’t get your hopes up. Even if the communication is restored, it’ll only be viable within the base. It’ll be impossible to restore it to how it was before the apocalypse.”

In fact, even without He Xing’s emphasis, Du Yue was well aware of this. However, even if they could only restore the communication in the base, it was better than nothing! At least she could surf the internet when she was bored.

Although Du Yue did not like to interact with others, as a young modern woman, she still liked to read some news and gossip on the internet. After all, humans were social animals. If they always stayed at home and had no contact with the outside world, they would definitely feel bored over time.

He Xing noticed Du Yue’s cheery mood and asked her with a smile, “You didn’t lose your phone, did you?”

“Of course, I didn’t lose it! A few electronic devices don’t take up much space, so I’ve been keeping them.” Du Yue said frankly. Not only did she have a phone, but she also had a tablet and a laptop.

“Do you have an extra phone for me?”

“No problem. But where did your phone go?”

Du Yue was confused.

He Xing’s car had so much space to carry so many weapons, but he did not even keep a mobile phone?

“I thought I wouldn’t be able to use it, so I threw it away.” As He Xing spoke, he looked straight ahead, not daring to meet Du Yue’s eyes. He could not possibly tell the other party that he was an alien, and that was why he had never used a cell phone!
