However, they did not have much time to waste now. Du Yue turned off her phone and looked at He Xing and Xia Ju. “Put the food and daily necessities into the mountaineering bags. I’ll put everything else into the space. Let’s change our clothes and meet in the living room on the first floor.”

After saying that, the three of them dispersed and began to move on their own. Du Yue first put the food and logistics boxes into the space, then went to the kitchen and bathroom. She put everything into the space. Then, she went to Xia Ju’s room and the bedroom upstairs. Du Yue ran down and the entire villa was empty, just like before they moved in.

At this moment, the three of them had already wrapped themselves up tightly from head to toe. Apart from their noses and eyes, everything else was covered. Xia Ju and He Xing put on their wigs. When Xia Ju wanted to put on her cosmetic contact lenses, she was stopped by Du Yue. Once the volcano erupted, the temperature would rise sharply. Even if they hid in the underground fallout shelter, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be any problems.

Wearing contact lenses under such circumstances would only result in the heat wave burning her contacts and turning her blind. Fortunately, Xia Ju was wearing a wig with bangs today. With the bangs covering her forehead and the dim lighting underground, no one would notice her abnormality as long as they did not stare at her eyes.

Although the base requested that they evacuate within 12 hours, no one would leave until the end as they did not know what the underground fallout shelter was like. Thus, if they went there early, they might be able to get a relatively good place to stay. The three of them walked to the courtyard. Xia Ju looked at the car parked in the courtyard and was a little worried. “What about the car?” The underground fallout shelter definitely would not allow anyone to drive in. If they drove over, they would have to park outside.

By the time they came out again, the car would probably have already turned into ashes. With a thought, Du Yue put the car into her space. “1 just checked the route map. We’re not far from the underground fallout shelter. We still have plenty of time. Let’s just run there!”

Hearing Du Yue’s suggestion, Xia Ju did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed. When the three of them went out, Du Yue locked the door.

When they were in the courtyard, they could only hear some sounds. At this moment, everyone should be busy packing their things and preparing to leave. Now that the three of them had walked out of the courtyard, they finally saw the chaos with their own eyes. Those who could live in the villa area were all capable and had family assets. Usually, everyone would feel smug because they had a lot of assets, but when it came to escaping, having too many things became a burden. They could not bear to leave their things behind and wished that they could carry their house with them.

Looking at the chaotic crowd, Du Yue decisively withdrew her gaze and called He Xing and Xia Ju to leave.

At this moment, a woman suddenly walked out from the courtyard beside them. When she saw Du Yue and the other two, she looked at them from head to toe. “Three backpacks? That’s all you have? Since the three of you have nothing in your hands, why don’t you help me move some things over? 1 can pay you with a few pieces of cornbread as a reward.”

Hearing the woman’s words, Du Yue flatly refused, “We can’t help. We’re in a hurry.”

Without giving the woman any time to react, Du Yue turned around and left.

He Xing and Xia Ju followed closely behind. The three of them walked quickly into the thick fog. The woman stood where she was and stared at their backs as they left. When the three of them disappeared from her sight, she spat angrily and turned back to the courtyard.

Du Yue and the other two, who had already walked far away, stopped when they could not see anyone else. The woman’s words just now reminded Du Yue. Now, everyone wanted to carry all their belongings on their backs to escape, but the three of them only brought a mountaineering bag each. They indeed seemed a little out of place. Even if their backpacks were twice the size of ordinary backpacks, it was still far from enough. Du Yue quickly rummaged through the space and soon found a few large luggage bags.

They were square luggage bags with zippers. They were sturdy and could be used to store a lot of things. Du Yue stuffed everything she could get inside them. She took everything that could be used for eating, drinking, and others. Du Yue only stopped when the luggage bags could not hold any more things. When they set off again, the three of them each carried a mountaineering bag that was half the height of a person on their backs, a satchel on their waists, and a luggage bag in each hand..
