I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 248 Has Seen the World

248 Has Seen the World
There were also carriages moving slowly on the tracks. It was very similar to the subway, but it was not quite the same. The silver-white body of the carriages gave off a futuristic feeling. Just by looking at the appearance, Du Yue was certain that this was the work of that celestial lord. Just as she was trying to figure it out, Du Yue heard He Xing’s voice. “This is called a cloud track. It’s a very common transportation method in the interstellar. It’s a little surprising to see it here.”
When He Xing said this, he did not sound as melancholic as she imagined. He only sounded a little surprised. He Xing’s words confirmed Du Yue’s suspicions. It was no wonder that the people from the outer city would do everything they could to enter the inner city. However, Du Yue was also clear that what they were seeing now was only the tip of the iceberg.
Those people definitely did not want to live in the inner city just because of a cloud track. Knowing where the cloud track came from, Du Yue was no longer as curious. Although this was the first time she had seen this kind of thing, she had often seen it in various technological films, so she was not too surprised.
The most important thing for them now was to find a place to stay. He Xing continued driving, and Du Yue soon noticed a problem. There were almost no pedestrians on the streets of the inner city. The road was empty, and the houses on both sides of the road had no doors. She could only see the lights inside through the windows. Not to mention people, there were very few cars. However, if there were people living in the inner city, they would definitely need to go out. Most people probably went out by cloud tracks.
After driving for more than ten minutes, He Xing slowly stopped the car. The car was parked in a large parking lot. Opposite the parking lot was a five-story building. Looking at the structure, it looked a little like a shopping mall. He looked around and found a place to swipe his card.
He Xing took out his resident card and swiped it. The door, which had not moved a moment ago, opened automatically. Du Yue and He Xing walked in together, and the farther they went, the louder the noise they heard. After they passed through a curtain, they saw the entire scene inside.
It was indeed a shopping mall. They were on the first floor of the shopping mall, and the music they had heard earlier was from above. At this moment, there were many people strolling in the shopping mall, and everyone was dressed differently. There were many shops on the first floor, most of which were clothing-related. After a few steps, Du Yue saw something that was very familiar pre-apocalypse—elevators.
Looking at everything before her, Du Yue suddenly felt as if she was a person who had just come to the city from the mountains. No matter what she saw, she was surprised and shocked. Du Yue’s memories from before the apocalypse had gradually become blurry in her mind. It was only when she stood here today that those memories suddenly seemed to come alive. If someone had told Du Yue that there was a place in the apocalypse that was exactly the same as the world before the apocalypse, she would have thought that person was a liar.
However, when she saw it with her own eyes, even Du Yue had to admit that it was no wonder so many people wanted to move here. It was no different from before the apocalypse. Du Yue and He Xing took the elevator up to the second floor and saw all kinds of places to eat.
When they smelled it carefully, the air was filled with the fragrance of all kinds of food. Du Yue and He Xing did not stop. They took the elevator up to the third and fourth floors, where a grand hotel was located. The fifth floor was the platform for the cloud track. From here, they could take the cloud track to other places in the inner city.
Of course, the cloud track also required integrity points. The price would also be different depending on the distance. The two of them did not have any integrity points and could not get on the cloud track, so they could only return to the second floor. Outside a restaurant on the second floor, there were many long benches for people who were tired from shopping to rest.
The two of them found a quiet corner to sit down and discuss what to do next. Previously, they had thought that news of a celestial lord publicly selecting his wife would surely cause a stir in the inner city. Perhaps they would directly hear about it and find the place without even asking. Now, they realized that they had been too naive.
In the inner city, one needed to be honest in everything one did. Without integrity points, one could not go anywhere. For the first time, Du Yue and He Xing experienced what it meant to be a hero who could not win even a penny.
Du Yue sighed. “Why don’t we go and find out where we can exchange integrity points and then see if anyone knows about the celestial lord’s wife selection?”
He Xing felt helpless too. “Alright, that’s all we can do for now. You sit here and don’t move. I’ll go ask.”
