Du Yue was stunned. Leave it to him? Although she knew that the other party had good intentions, she still felt that it was a little strange for him to say such things.

“By the way, have you been out since you came to the base? Do you know anything about this place?” He Xing changed the topic and looked at Du Yue. Even though the street lights were dim, they could not hide the light in his eyes.

Du Yue looked at him and was suddenly burned by the emotions in his eyes. She quickly turned her head to the other side and shook her head silently. “I don’t usually go out, so I’ve only been to the night market in front once. I’m not too sure about the rest.”

“Then let’s go to the night market first.” He Xing’s eyes lit up as he suggested excitedly. Du Yue nodded and led him in the direction of the night market.

When the two of them arrived, there was not much change compared to when Du Yue came two days ago. It was still bustling with people. Du Yue was not very interested in the things sold in the night market. He Xing, on the other hand, was very interested. He kept a smile on his face as he asked questions from stall to stall.

However, he was just asking. Even after he had visited the entire night market, He Xing was still empty-handed. The two of them left the night market and continued walking. The base was indeed worthy of being a famous holiday resort before this. Although many buildings had been added and were somewhat out of place with the original style, the scenery of the entire resort was still pleasing to the eye.

While the two of them were walking, they suddenly stopped. There were a few buildings on their right. The buildings were different from the residential buildings they lived in. They looked more like large warehouses. Even before the two of them walked to the building, they could already hear the noisy conversations coming from inside the building. There must be a lot of people inside.

Du Yue immediately understood that this was the dormitory that the base had built for those who could not afford to rent a house. Although the windows were covered with blackout curtains and she could not see what was inside, she could imagine that the environment inside would not be good.

Even though this was the first base, it was already impossible for the other small bases to provide food and sleep for so many people, which was the most important thing for them.

Du Yue only wanted to live her life in peace and did not have the time to care about other people. She quickly looked away. She looked at He Xing, who was beside her. “Where else do you want to go?”

He Xing shook his head. “There’s nowhere else I want to go to. Let’s go home.”

Du Yue nodded. The two of them returned to the seventh floor of their apartment and went back to their own homes. From that day on, Du Yue had been cooped up at home and did not go out at all. During her days at home, she followed her plan and cooked three meals a day at home. She completed her daily training tasks step by step, and the rest of the time was used to read books, watch shows, clean up the house, and prepare supplies for winter.

Although the weather was hot now, the temperature would plummet in two months. Overnight, the city would go from extremely hot to extremely cold. On that night in her previous life, the temperature had dropped by dozens of degrees. Many people could not react in time, and countless people froze to death.

Du Yue had considered informing the leaders of the base about this. However, after careful consideration, she finally decided to give up on that idea. She could not guarantee that the news would spread without a sound, and she could not guarantee that people would not find her through various channels after the news spread. It was not easy for her to live again, so she could not take the risk.

Du Yue stayed at home for two months. On the last day of her rental agreement, she opened the door. She had to go out today to pay the rent. Du Yue had just stepped out of the gate when she saw He Xing unlocking the gate with the key. Du Yue knew that He Xing had been out a lot for the past two months. Since they lived very close to each other, she could hear the sound of He Xing’s door opening and closing. However, Du Yue was not curious about why he went out so often. She only wanted to stay at home and live her own life.

It was just that she did not expect to bump into He Xing on her first trip out in two months.

“You’re going out?” He Xing saw her and greeted her with a smile.

“Yes, I’m going out for a while.”

He Xing nodded and moved closer to Du Yue’s ear. “I’ve been working at the base. I heard that the temperature will drop soon. You’d better find a way to prepare some winter supplies.”
