Du Yue looked at the situation for a while and handed the binoculars to He Xing. After the four of them took turns to check, Shen Teng spoke first. These people brought so many things with them. They should be moving. Judging from the direction theyre going, theyre probably going to the nearby base.
Du Yue was silent for a moment. If they want to go to the base, they must pa.s.s through here.
Although this gra.s.sland had no master, and people could come and go freely, Du Yue still hoped from the bottom of her heart that this group of people would not pa.s.s by their house and they would not meet. After the apocalypse, Du Yue was used to planning for the worst. She could not imagine how these refugees would react if they saw the fat poultry and livestock in their courtyard. Xia Ju and He Xing also thought so, but Shen Teng seemed to be a little silent. He sat on the horse without saying a word. Before Du Yue could speak, He Xing beat him to it and said, If they really run into us, lets not be too naive.
What? Shen Teng was stunned. Can you repeat? I didnt hear you clearly.
Just by looking at Shen Tengs absent-minded appearance, Du Yue knew that his thoughts must have drifted away. If they pa.s.s by us, dont meddle in their business just because youre soft-hearted.
Shen Teng heard her clearly this time and nodded. You dont have to worry about that. 1 know what to do.
After receiving Shen Tengs a.s.surance, Du Yues heart finally relaxed a little. After spending some time together, they knew what kind of person Shen Teng was. Putting everything else aside, Shen Teng had always been an honest and trustworthy person. He would definitely do what he said.
The few of them had something on their minds and were no longer in the mood to enjoy the scenery. They turned their horses around and ran home. The horses galloped across the plains at a very fast speed. Before the sky turned completely dark, they had returned to their residence. Du Yue looked at the time. It was only three oclock in the afternoon. If this were before the apocalypse, who could have predicted that one day in the future, the sky would start to turn dark at 11:30 AM!
After sending the horse to the stable, Shen Teng returned to his tent. He carried a flashlight with him for illumination. As he walked farther and farther away, the bright beam of light from the flashlight gradually turned into a faint light spot.
They came back at an awkward time. It was already past lunchtime, but it was too early for dinner, so the three of them decided to eat something light to fill their stomachs first. The three of them walked to the kitchen together and turned on the b.u.t.ton on the wall. The room instantly lit up, forming a sharp contrast with the darkness outside. If not for the time, everyone would have thought that it was an ordinary night.
The three of them sat down and ate the sandwiches Du Yue took out from her s.p.a.ce. Everyone was eating with their heads lowered, but Xia Ju suddenly spoke up and mentioned the group of people they had seen on the gra.s.sland. Why did they come all the way here?
Du Yue also noticed something strange when she heard this. Youre right. Shen Teng said that the base wants to relocate to the city. If theyve realized that daylight is getting shorter by the day, they shouldnt have come all the way here, right? They couldve just returned to their previous base and continued living there!
He Xing, who had been quiet all this while, spoke up. Unless the previous base is no longer habitable, or they think that the gra.s.slands are more suitable for survival for some other reason.
Du Yue nodded thoughtfully. Youre right! Do you think that only this group of people came to the gra.s.slands, or are there other groups that we havent seen? If they chose to migrate for some reason, then they shouldnt be the only ones who are here. The gra.s.slands are vast and spa.r.s.ely populated. Its normal that we didnt see them if they took other routes.
Du Yue nodded. Thats true. Although it was inevitable that Du Yue was curious about the real reason why these people had moved here from afar, Du Yue still did not want to meet them. Unfortunately, in this situation, it was not up to Du Yue to decide whether they could meet.
Their residence was here, so there was no way to avoid those people. No one knew if those people would come here.
After filling their stomachs, the three of them cleaned up the dining table and went to feed the animals. After checking the electric fence and confirming that everything was normal, they turned off all the lights in the courtyard that were not needed and returned to their respective RVs..
