I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

191 She’ll Accept Any Result Calmly

He Xing took out his phone. “It’s alright. I’ll let Captain Zuo know. It shouldn’t be difficult to get them.” Zuo Mingdong was obviously a little busy at the moment. He Xing’s phone call went unanswered.

After He Xing hung up, Zuo Mingdong finally called back after about ten minutes. He Xing asked for his help to buy some sand and cement, and Zuo Mingdong agreed without hesitation. “No problem, but you’ll have to drive here and take them yourself. We don’t have enough manpower now, so we can’t deliver them to you.”

“Okay. Thank you, Captain Zuo. We’ll be there in a while.” Du Yue took He Xing’s car out of her interspace when she heard that He Xing and Zuo Mingdong had finished their discussion.

Thinking that there must be bugs everywhere outside, Du Yue took out another bottle of pesticide and sprayed the car twice. The pesticide did smell bad, but if she did not tolerate it now, she would have to tolerate the bugs everywhere. Du Yue knew which was more disgusting.

Even though there was a street light installed every two meters, the visibility was still a little low. Along the way, He Xing drove the car with extreme caution. Although the doors and windows were tightly shut, Du Yue and He Xing could still hear the sound of their wheels rolling over the bugs. Even if they were not seeing the scene with their own eyes, just hearing the sound was enough to make them feel nauseated.

During the car ride, Du Yue’s brows never lowered. She was not afraid of suffering, but this disgusting scene was really unbearable. When they arrived at the place they had agreed with Zuo Mingdong, it was not Zuo Mingdong who met them but Lu Lin. “Captain Zuo doesn’t have time right now. He told me to bring you there,” Lu Lin told them.

He Xing nodded slightly. “I’m sorry to trouble you.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Their small courtyard was only 80 square meters, and it would not take much to cover it up with cement and sand. Even if they wanted to bring back some bricks, all the things could still fit in He Xing’s. After saying goodbye to Lu Lin, He Xing drove back directly to the courtyard.

Along the way, they could hear many people screaming. They were obviously frightened by the sudden appearance of the swarm of bugs. At this time, the people living on the upper floors were less troubled. However, Du Yue did not regret it. After all, any decision could have both advantages and disadvantages. She had made her own choice, so she would accept it calmly no matter what the result was.

After returning to the courtyard and closing the gate, Du Yue put the car into her interspace. The thick fog came in handy at this time. With the thick fog as a cover, they did not have to worry about others seeing their every move. Even if Du Yue and He Xing were standing in the courtyard together, they would not be able to see each other if they were slightly farther away from each other, let alone outsiders.

The two of them first swept all the dead bugs on the ground into a bag. The woven bag, which was not small, was half full. Du Yue sealed the bag and temporarily put it in her interspace. Du Yue and He Xing studied the small holes in the ground for a while and finally decided to spray the pesticide first, then sprinkle a layer of powdered pesticide on the ground. Finally, they would cover the bricks with cement and sand.

The two of them got to work immediately. They started mixing cement and sand. Neither of them had any experience in this area, but fortunately, Du Yue had saved some tutorial videos on this. It was not difficult to follow the video step by step. It was their first attempt, and the ground was not flat enough, but they did not really care. It would be fine as long as they could cover the land and not miss any corner.

When they returned to the house after the cement was all laid out, Du Yue glanced at her phone and realized that it was already half past five in the afternoon. The two of them were so engrossed in laying the cement that they even forgot to eat lunch. Du Yue looked at He Xing and saw that he was covered in cement and dust. He did not mention anything about eating at all. “Take a shower and change your clothes.”

Du Yue left a bucket of water for He Xing and returned to her bedroom to take a bath. After the shower, she changed into clean clothes and washed the dirty clothes. Then, the two of them sat on the carpet in the bedroom. Du Yue took out a small table and asked He Xing, “What do you want to eat?”

He Xing pondered for a moment. “Spicy soup. It’s better if it’s spicy and numbing. We can have some vegetarian side dishes too.” He Xing was a carnivore, and he could not eat without meat. It was the first time that he had emphasized vegetables.

Du Yue nodded and took out two bowls of spicy hot soup from her interspace. She also took out a plate of garlic and kelp, and a plate of cucumber salad. She did not feel anything when she was working, but now that she was not, she felt that she was famished.
