Chapter 568: Secretly Digging a Hole

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the past half a month, different people would come to the lawn outside their courtyard to pluck the gra.s.s every day. These people knew that they could not pluck in the same spot ail the time. They would change places every day. Every time they came, they would also bring water from the river to water the gra.s.s.

In the beginning, Du was occasionally interested in picking up the binoculars to observe them. Later on, she let them be. However, Xia Ju was different. Every day, she would pick up her binoculars and watch with great interest. Whats so good about watching them plucking gra.s.s? Du Yue asked her.

Those people came every day, and Xia Ju was always watching them. Did she not get tired of it?

Xia Ju still did not put down the binoculars in her hand. When she spoke, her tone was calm, Theres indeed nothing to look at when theyre plucking the gra.s.s. Im just watching them dig a hole.

Du Yue was confused. What hole? Where? Why didnt I see it?

Xia Ju chuckled. I think those people who are squatting and pulling gra.s.s are just covering for those digging holes behind them. The people digging the hole are six or seven meters behind them. Theyre also squatting. In addition, there are people in front of them to help them block the hole. If youre not sharply observing them, you wouldnt notice it. These people have been very quiet and dont dare to make any big movements. I dont know how deep theyve dug. 1 just want to wait and see when theyll reach the steel plate we put down.

Du Yue thought to herself, No wonder. Even if Xia Ju had nothing to do, she wouldnt have watched people pluck gra.s.s for half a month. It turned out that she was watching people dig holes. Why didnt you tell me?

Xia Ju retracted her gaze and turned to look at Du Yue. If I had told you, youd definitely stop them. Then 1 wouldnt have anything to watch.

Du Yue was speechless.

For a moment, she could not find a reason to refute. In the end, she could only pick up the binoculars and watch the people dig the hole outside with Xia Ju.

When He Xing came in, he saw the two of them leaning against the window and looking out. When Du Yue heard the sound behind her, she waved at him and invited him to join their observation team. She also told him about Xia Jus discovery.

If it were anyone else, they would have thought of a way to stop these people from digging a hole in front of their house. However, Du Yue and the other two did not care. When they decided to stay, they had already made full preparations. The most important issue was safety. There was an electric fence around the courtyard where they stayed. Even if someone wanted to break in from the ground, it was impossible. Since the apocalypse, many bases had dug underground cities, so when they dug the bas.e.m.e.nt, they used steel plates to surround the courtyard.

Those steel plates were also products of the interstellar. Wanting to destroy them was wishful thinking. Not to mention that these people were only digging with shovels. Even if they came with an electric drill, they would not be able to destroy the steel plates. Their small courtyard looked very safe from the outside, but in fact, it was much safer than it looked.

Du Yue thought about it and took out the walkie-talkie to tell Shen Teng about the situation. The three of them were not afraid, but Shen Teng did not have any protective measures. They did not want his house to be broken into. On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Shen Teng was vigilant when he heard the news. Okay, Ill be careful. You guys must be careful too!

Shen Tengs tone was very solemn. It was obvious that he had heard Du Yues exhortation.

After saying goodbye, Du Yue raised the walkie-talkie in her hand and did not put it down for a long time. No one knew what she was thinking. After a long time, Du Yue asked in confusion, Why did I hear a womans voice on Shen Tengs side? Was I hearing things?

He Xing shook his head. You werent hallucinating. I heard it too.

Du Yue initially thought that she had misheard, but now He Xing also said that he heard a womans voice. She suddenly realized that there was indeed a woman in Shen Tengs house. Du Yue thought about it carefully. The womans voice was soft and seemed to have a hint of coquettishness.

Where did this woman come from? Was she from Happiness Base or the first base? Although Du Yue was curious, she did not ask Shen Teng. Although they could be considered friends, there was still personal s.p.a.ce and secrets between friends. Since Shen Teng did not take the initiative to tell them about this, it was better for them to pretend that they did not know.

Xia Ju blinked her big eyes. Her silver eyes seemed to be very excited. Shen Teng has a tent and food now.. He must not be deceived by others!
