Du Yue was thinking about how to refuse when she heard Zuo Mingdong say again, “You don’t have to worry about the delay on the road. We plan to send a portion of people to check out the situation in the coal mine first, so we can’t let everyone push the cart and walk slowly. The base’s initial plan is to set off together in a few days. Some of us will pull the cart and walk behind, while the others will drive over first. I’m in charge of leading the team, so you guys will follow my car. If nothing unexpected happened on the way, we’ll be back in five days at most.”

Hearing this, the stone in Du Yue’s heart was finally lifted. He Xing was relieved and nodded in agreement. “Alright, it’s settled then. When you leave, just tell us in advance.”

“Alright, I’ll go back now. There are still a lot of things to prepare at the base.”

After seeing Zuo Mingdong leave, Du Yue and the other two turned around and returned to the RV to discuss. Before Du Yue and He Xing could speak, Xia Ju took the initiative to say, “If we go to look for coal, we’ll definitely have to leave someone at home to look after the house. I’m not interested in coal. You two can rest a.s.sured. I’ll take care of all the animals here.”

Du Yue laughed. “You stay at home. Nothing else is important. The most important thing is to protect yourself.”

He Xing nodded, then stood up and walked to the door of the RV. “Let’s not talk anymore. Take us to your car.”

Xia Ju was a little confused. “Why do you want to go to my car?”‘

Although Xia Ju’s RV was near their car, He Xing had never been there since he came. Now that he suddenly requested to go over and take a look, Xia Ju naturally did not understand what he meant.

“Since you want to stay and guard the house, you definitely need a weapon to protect yourself. I’ll leave some for you.”

Xia Ju subconsciously replied, “But 1 have a weapon!” Be it cold weapons or hot weapons, she had no lack of them.

He Xing did not explain further. He just stood at the door and waited for her and Du Yue to get up. Seeing this, Xia Ju did not say anything and stood up.

The three of them came to Xia Ju’s RV together. He Xing asked Xia Ju to put away all the miscellaneous daily necessities and try to leave as much s.p.a.ce as possible in the car.

Xia Ju did not ask why and just obediently did as she was told. After she cleared out all the useless things and cleared the s.p.a.ce, He Xing took out a bunch of firearms from the s.p.a.ce and filled the empty s.p.a.ce in the car without any gaps.

Xia Ju looked at He Xing’s actions and hesitated. “Aren’t you only leaving for five days? Why does it seem like you’re never coming back?”

“Don’t take it lightly. There are too many bad people out there now,” Du Yue said sternly. “You might encounter danger at home at any time. Since we have these weapons, we must be prepared as much as possible so that the two of us don’t have to worry about you when we’re outside.”

Knowing that Du Yue and He Xing were doing this for her own good, Xia Ju also put away the joking expression on her face. “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll stay at home obediently and protect the animals and myself. 1 guarantee that when you come back, you’ll see me perfectly fine, okay?”

He Xing pointed at the cannon beside him. “In times of danger, fire immediately—no matter who you’re facing.” The two of them had been with Xia Ju for so long, so they knew Xia Ju’s character very well. If others did not take the initiative to provoke her, Xia Ju would never take the initiative to cause trouble. That was why they could leave these weapons behind without worrying about her causing trouble.

After waiting another three days, Zuo Mingdong did not make any moves. However, Shen Teng took the initiative to contact them and said that he had fully recovered and could move freely now.

Du Yue and He Xing did not want to bring Shen Teng along, but after hearing his energetic voice through the walkie-talkie, they suddenly changed their minds.

Although Shen Teng lived alone, he still needed to eat and keep warm. The fuel he was using now was obtained from He Xing before the Eternal Night.

He should still have a lot. However, Du Yue and He Xing knew that the Eternal Night would not end in a short time. The remaining fuel Shen Teng had could only last for another half a year at most.

Now that the first base was leading a team to look for coal, this opportunity was hard to come by. If he did not go with them this time, it was uncertain when he would have this chance again in the future. Therefore, after a brief discussion, the two of them decided to tell Shen Teng the news and let him make his own choice.

“You’ve just recovered from a serious illness. If your body is still feeling uncomfortable, don’t force yourself. When we find coal, we’ll give you some too,” He Xing said on the other end of the walkie-talkie..
