母蜂的复仇

Sun Yu had just walked a short distance when he turned around. “By the way, did these bugs exist before you left, or did they only appear later?”

“Before we left, we had a bug disaster.”

“Did the researchers in the first base find out why?”

“Not at that time. I’m not sure about now.”

“I understand. You guys should rest early. We’ll set off early tomorrow.”

He Xing watched Sun Yu’s back disappear from his sight before he closed the window again. When Sun Yu was around, Xia Ju had been holding back without speaking. Now that Sun Yu had walked away, Xia Ju could not hold it in anymore. “Are their lives so hard? Why would they want to eat bugs?”

“The lives of ordinary people are harder than you can imagine,” Du Yue said earnestly. “Bugs might be the only way for them to get protein.”

If there was another way, no one would be willing to eat bugs.

Xia Ju looked out of the window and stared at the convoy in front of her for a while. There was a complicated look in her deep eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking. After a while, Xia Ju sighed and said, “Fortunately, I met you.”

Du Yue nodded without hesitation. “It’s good that you know. You have to perform better in the future. Otherwise, I won’t give you meat to eat!”

Xia Ju’s eyes were instantly filled with tears as she sobbed pitifully. “Then I can only go catch bugs. I can’t tell which bugs are poisonous. If 1 accidentally die, I hope you can give me a proper burial.”

Du Yue could not help but roll her eyes at her. She had only casually said one sentence, yet Xia Ju had actually gone along with it! If this was before the apocalypse, Du Yue would have sent her to the film academy to satisfy her desire to perform! Coupled with her exquisite facial features, she might really become famous! After thinking about it for a while, Du Yue got up with He Xing and Xia Ju and pulled all the curtains in the car. After confirming that those outside could not see the situation inside the car, Du Yue took out dinner from her space.

In order to prevent the smell of food from wafting out through the gaps in the door and window, Du Yue took out the range hood. Although she knew that the range hood was very useful, Du Yue was still amazed every time she used it. After eating and drinking to their hearts’ content, the three of them began to do their own things. It was not until ten o’clock in the evening that the three of them went to bed to rest.

Xia Ju slept on the single bed that had been turned into a chair, while Du Yue and He Xing slept on the big bed behind. With the convoy in front of them and the high safety of this car, they saved a lot of effort. At least they did not have to take turns to keep watch at night. It was a dreamless night. As they did not have to keep watch, the three of them had a good rest. The next morning, when they were on the road again, Du Yue originally thought that she would hear the sound of the bugs exploding, but she obviously underestimated the soundproofing effect of the car. They actually did not hear any sound. Although they could not hear the explosions, Du Yue could still imagine the scene of their car running over the bugs. They felt disgusted.

Fortunately, although there were many bugs along the way, they did not encounter any other trouble.

Three days later, they were not far from the first base. Looking at the looming high wall in the distance, Du Yue and He Xing could not help but feel a little complicated. Xia Ju was more excited and curious because it was her first time here. She had been to two official bases, so she wondered how the first base was different from the other two. Hearing Xia Ju’s question, Du Yue smiled and raised her chin at He Xing. “He Xing participated in the design and construction of the first underground city. If you’re curious, you can ask him.”

Du Yue had never mentioned this place before, so this was the first time Xia Ju had heard of it.

She looked at He Xing in surprise. “You even got involved in this?” Without waiting for He Xing to answer, Xia Ju thought of something and asked in confusion, “Wouldn’t your identity be exposed? Then why did you…”

Before Xia Ju could finish, Du Yue already knew what she wanted to ask. “Are you asking why He Xing wasn’t arrested?”

Xia Ju nodded. “Yeah, why wasn’t he locked up for research?”

“Maybe it’s because I’m stronger, so they don’t dare to do anything to me,” He Xing said calmly. “They only dare to think of asking me to cooperate with them.”

Xia Ju was stunned at first, but she quickly reacted. “So you’re saying that I was locked up for research because 1 was too weak?”

“That’s right.” He Xing nodded.

Xia Ju clenched her fists. “Du Yue, can 1 beat your boyfriend up?”

Du Yue’s lips curled up. “Sure, as long as you can win..”
