I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 222 It’s Not Your Fault

222 It’s Not Your Fault
In fact, even if Zuo Mingdong had not mentioned it, Du Yue and He Xing also wanted to take their time to plan it out. After all, this was not a small matter. After the three of them said their goodbyes, Du Yue and He Xing drove home. They had been out for so many days, and the ground in the yard was already full of dead bugs. It seemed that the base had been constantly exterminating the bugs while they were out. Looking at the dead bugs, Du Yue did not find it hard to accept. After all, compared to wriggling bugs, dead bugs were easier to accept.
“Rest first. We’ll clean the yard tomorrow.” He Xing said.
Du Yue nodded. “Alright! I really don’t have the strength to clean anymore!”
They opened the iron gate and walked into the living room. Everything in front of them was no different from before they left. Looking at the familiar house, Du Yue felt at ease.
They had finally returned to this home that only belonged to the two of them. Among the thousands of houses in the world, there would always be one that was their own. This made them happy and at ease.
Before eating, they each took a bath and changed their clothes. They then washed the clothes they had changed out of. After that, they returned to the bedroom together. In order to prevent dust from collecting on the furniture when they went out, Du Yue had put all the furniture in the house into her interspace before they left.
Du Yue mopped the bedroom floor after taking a shower, and it had just dried up. She took out all the furniture from her interspace and arranged them in the same position as before. The originally empty house had finally become a warm little home again.
The two of them sat on the carpet, and the dining table was right in front of them. Du Yue asked He Xing, “What do you want to eat?”
He Xing scratched his head and chuckled. “I’ll eat whatever you want.” Du Yue could not help but chuckle when she saw He Xing showing a side of himself that he had never shown to anyone else before. She took out two bowls of rice and a bowl of soup from the space.
The speed of the two people eating could be said to be like a tornado sweeping away the clouds. After eating, they cleaned up the dishes together and got on the bed to rest. Du Yue rested her head on He Xing’s arm and looked at his well-defined jaw. She slowly closed her eyes. That night, Du Yue had a nightmare.
In the dream, she was in her previous life where she barely survived in a small base. However, when the thick fog descended, the originally peaceful days were no longer. Danger was everywhere, and darkness catalyzed the evil human nature. What was more terrifying than the thick fog was the human heart.
After she woke up, Du Yue slowly opened her eyes, but they were in a state of chaos. It had been a long time since she had dreamed about her past life. It had been so long that every time she thought about it, she felt that it was a nightmare from long ago and not real. The reason why she would dream about her past life again after such a long time was probably related to what she had seen and heard yesterday.
“What are you daydreaming about?” Hearing He Xing’s voice from behind her, Du Yue turned around and saw He Xing looking at her curiously with his hand on his head. Seeing that she had turned around, he smiled. “I saw that you’ve opened your eyes for a while but haven’t said a word. You’re just in a daze. What are you thinking about?”
“I had a nightmare last night.” Du Yue told him everything that had happened in the dream. “Ever since I came to the base, I’ve been living a peaceful life even if I may not always be happy. I’ve been living a peaceful life for so long that I’ve almost forgotten everything that happened in my previous life. It wasn’t until I saw the situation of those survivors yesterday that I understood something. It’s not that those things won’t happen again, but it’s just that I’m lucky this time and didn’t experience them.”
He Xing reached out and grazed the tip of Du Yue’s nose. “Don’t think too much. You’re lucky that you didn’t run into those problems. It’s not your fault. What we can do is to eliminate those who attempt to invade within our capabilities.”
Du Yue’s dull eyes gradually regained their clarity after hearing He Xing’s words. “Right!”
After breakfast, the two of them trained together for three hours. When it was over, both of their clothes were drenched in sweat, and their foreheads were covered in beads of sweat. Almost all of their skin that was exposed had traces of blue and purple. Both Du Yue and He Xing did not care about such a small injury.
The two of them were not in a hurry to take a shower. They sat on small stools separately and discussed the future. Du Yue was the first to ask He Xing, “Regarding the trip to the second base, have you decided when we’re going?”
He Xing took a sip of water and said without hesitation, “I’ll do as you say.”
