I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 245 The Last Fig Leaf

245 The Last Fig Leaf
At this point, Du Yue’s eyes became a little confused again. “But here, the celestial lord has established a hierarchy and divided people into three classes. He set up an inner and outer city, implemented a polygamous system, and even publicly selects a wife. Yet no one actually feels that something is wrong with this extremely absurd situation.
“Poor people sell their daughters and sisters, fighting to enter the inner city and become the best. If this place is a feudal hell, then these people are willing to sink into it. I don’t even know if everything we’ve done has any meaning…”
He Xing had watched a lot of TV shows with Du Yue, one of which was called The Age of Awakening. He had a deep memory of it. Now that Du Yue mentioned it, he was suddenly reminded of the plot of that TV show. Not only did he understand Du Yue’s frustration, but he could also understand her thoughts.
Although there would be social classes as long as there were people, the last fig leaf had been torn off here, and this abnormal system was laid bare in front of everyone. What was more terrifying was that no one felt that this was wrong. They were willing, and this made the two feel helpless.
Du Yue calmed herself down for a while, then sighed helplessly. “I really don’t know if we should continue to meddle in this matter…”
He Xing did not answer immediately because he knew that Du Yue was only feeling upset for the time being. She had already made up her mind, and she was not someone who would give up easily.
The two of them fell silent, and only the sound of each other’s breathing could be heard in the room. Du Yue only snapped out of her thoughts when it was almost noon. She looked at He Xing. The confusion in her eyes had disappeared, and she had regained her usual spirit. “Let’s eat first. What do you want to eat?”
He Xing thought for a moment. “I want barbecued meat on rice!” He wanted to have a proper barbecue, but he did not want to go through all that trouble in a place he was not familiar with. Since he could not do that, he decided to eat some barbecued meat on rice to satisfy his cravings. Du Yue took out two bowls of barbecued meat on rice, a bowl of tomato egg soup, and two bottles of iced red tea from her interspace.
The two of them almost never chatted when they ate. It was only after they finished their meal and put the utensils back into the interspace that Du Yue said, “I’ve thought about it. Let’s make a trip to the inner city!” She wanted to see what the inner city, which so many people were fighting to enter, looked like.
He Xing nodded with a smile. No matter what choice Du Yu made, he was willing to stay with her. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Even though Du Yue already knew what He Xing’s answer would be, she still made a face at him. “Why do you always listen to me? Are you lovestruck?”
“Yeah, I’m lovestruck,” he Xing admitted frankly. “Even if you didn’t plan on going there, I would’ve gone there anyway and you’d come with me. No matter what, he’s from the same place as me. I’m curious about what kind of person he is to be able to stir up such a mess in the base.”
Du Yue smiled happily. “If I’m not going to care about this matter anymore, I’d go home directly. How would you persuade me to go with you then?”
He Xing stood up, walked over to Du Yue, and squatted down beside her. He cupped his face in his hands and blinked at Du Yue. “Pretty girl, come with me. I really can’t go alone.”
Du Yue did not know what to say. Who could save her? This person was really cute when he acted coquettishly, but Du Yue did not say anything. Seeing that Du Yue was holding back her laughter, He Xing continued, “The interstellar developed faster than the blue planet and has more technological means. However, in terms of intelligence, emotional intelligence, and tactics, we’re not much better than the people of the blue planet. That’s why I’m also curious as to what kind of magic potion that celestial lord has used on these people to make them respect and admire him so much. Even the chief of the base here is obedient to him.”
Without the approval of the base’s chief and the other leaders, it was absolutely impossible for the celestial lord to carry out his actions smoothly. Not to mention He Xing, even Du Yue wanted to see what kind of magic potion the previous leader of this base had been fed to make him listen to the celestial lord.
The two of them had the same idea and did not waste any more time. Du Yue put the chairs in the room back into her interspace and made sure that there was no longer the aroma of food in the room. Then, she opened the door and walked out. When they walked into the lobby, they saw the lady boss still sitting at the counter. They did not say much and just nodded as a greeting.
It would be useless to waste any more words. The lady boss would only think that Du Yue was jealous of her daughter for having a good opportunity to curry favor with the celestial lord. She would not be grateful.
