88 Then I Won’t Be Polite

Du Yue believed He Xing’s explanation. After the apocalypse, there were plenty of people like He Xing who threw away their communication devices because they were no longer useful. After all, when there was internet and electricity, mobile phones were essential communication devices for humans. However, when the internet and electricity were no longer working, phones would be useless in their pockets.

Du Yue had bought quite a few phones and stored them in her interspace, so it was not a big deal to give He Xing one. “When I go back, I’ll find one for you.”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you.”

The two of them looked at each other, and the smile in their eyes was obvious.

The entire convoy was traveling very slowly, so they only needed to pay attention to the distance between themselves and the car in front of them to avoid colliding with the car in front if it suddenly braked. They did not need to worry too much about other things. After all, everyone was driving in a line. No one would overtake them, and no one would suddenly drive over from the side. He Xing was in charge of driving, so naturally, he had to pay more attention to the road conditions and the car in front. Du Yue, on the other hand, had nothing to do.

It was getting a little boring to just sit there. Du Yue rummaged through her bag and took out a piece of chocolate. She opened the packaging and stuffed one into her mouth, then unwrapped another one and handed it to He Xing. He Xing took it and stuffed it into his mouth. Du Yue preferred a richer texture, so she only bought dark chocolate with higher purity.

Dark chocolate might taste a little bitter, but as long as one tasted it carefully, one would be able to taste the rich flavor. It was much more delicious than chocolate with high sweetness. Feeling the rich taste in her mouth, Du Yue felt that her taste buds were greatly satisfied.

The morning passed by quickly. The convoy had only completed half of the journey because they had been traveling at a relatively slow pace. The walkie-talkie that had been quiet all this while suddenly sounded. “All vehicles, rest for half an hour. We’ll set off after half an hour.”

The person repeated the order three times over the walkie-talkie, and the car in front of them gradually came to a stop. He Xing slowed down and followed suit. After sitting in the car for the whole morning, never mind whether they were hungry or thirsty, but at the very least, they should first solve their physiological problems. Fortunately, there were houses and woods on the side of the road where the convoy stopped. If they wanted to go to the toilet, they could just go ahead.

As someone who had lived in the apocalypse for a long time, Du Yue was already used to this. She went to the toilet first, and when she came back, it was He Xing’s turn.

Du Yue took out a wash-free hand wash and washed her hands. Then, she took out the self-heating instant food from her bag. Thinking that both of them were meat lovers, she took the black pepper beef donburi.

The beef in instant food was definitely not as delicious as freshly prepared beef, but in this situation, it was already good enough to have a mouthful of hot rice. If one were still picky, one would be too ignorant.

When the self-heating instant rice was almost done, He Xing came back. As soon as he opened the car door, the aroma of beef wafted into He Xing’s nose. He quickly got into the car and closed the door. Even though he was fast, the fragrance was still blown away by the wind the moment he opened the door.

He Xing and Du Yue were not too concerned. It was normal for people to eat when they were hungry. They could not possibly stay hungry just because they were afraid of being discovered.

Before they could finish their meal, they saw someone walking around their car. Since He Xing had already plastered anti-peeping film on the car’s windows, people outside could not see in. A few people even went around the front of the car to look inside.

Although they were looking through the window, their gazes were dull as they failed to spot anything. Du Yue was not afraid of them, but she still felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that while eating. Just as she was about to open the car door and drive them away, the two people standing in front of the car left on their own.

Du Yue relaxed a little and continued eating. The temperature in the car was not high, and they could not waste a single second while eating or the food would be frozen solid. When Du Yue had only a little left, someone suddenly knocked on the car window.

Du Yue turned her head and saw that the person who knocked on the door was none other than Wang Tong, who lived on the sixth floor. Wang Tong kept knocking on the car window, and her face was obviously full of anxiety.

Du Yue looked at her and had no intention of opening the door for her. She continued eating. It was not until she finished the rest of the food and drank a few sips of hot water that Du Yue reached out to roll down the window.
