I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 264 Waiting for the Hare

264 Waiting for the Hare
“Big Sister.” Ah Ping’s gaze gradually became firm. “You were born superior and don’t know the hardships of the world. You don’t know how hard it was for me to get to where I am today. I don’t believe in divine retribution. I only know that if I don’t follow him, I’ll starve to death.”
After saying this, Ah Ping looked at Du Yue, who had a cold expression on her face. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not say anything more. She turned and left in a hurry.
Du Yue watched her leave with an indescribable feeling in her heart. However, she did not have the time and mood to convince Ah Ping right now. She had more important things to do. At this moment, He Xing came out of nowhere, his face just as heavy. Just as he was about to speak, He Xing noticed that Du Yue’s expression was dark as well. “Du Yue, what happened?”
Du Yue looked up.” Ah Ping told me just now that the celestial lord is going to leave this place with the 5,000 people under him and all the food in the base.
“How did she find out about this?” He Xing asked in surprise.
Du Yue immediately understood what He Xing was implying. “You know about it too?”
“Yes.” He Xing nodded. “I took the cigarettes I had left and went to find a man I met at the selection venue before. We chatted for a while, and he told me about it after I gave him a cigarette.”
He Xing had not been idle since the water level had dropped. Du Yue was not surprised to hear this news. Du Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at him. “Then our next step…”
He Xing’s lips curved into a smile. “The next step is to wait for him at the granary, of course.”
The two of them shared the same thought and did not waste any more time. They immediately left the Celestial Lord Pavilion. He Xing had already found out the location of the granary, so it was not a problem to find it. Although there was a thick fog outside, there were many pedestrians on the road, so the two of them were not conspicuous. No one cared where they were going.
On the way to the granary, Du Yue saw that the cars on the roadside had been damaged by the seawater. She suddenly thought of He Xing’s car. “Oh no, your car is probably going to be scrapped!”
He Xing waved his hand. “It’s fine. I’ve modified my car. Water can’t damage it. I just don’t know where it was washed off to. If we can find it, we can continue driving it.”
After He Xing finished speaking, Du Yue looked at him with undisguised admiration. “You have great foresight!”
Du Yue rarely complimented He Xing so directly, and He Xing had never been humble in front of her. “Impressive, right? I’m used to making arrangements for all possibilities before doing anything.”
He Xing was not boasting. After being with him for a few years, Du Yue had already experienced it. However, looking at his smug expression, she still laughed and teased him, “You’re amazing, but don’t you have any weaknesses or shortcomings?”
He Xing scratched his head and smiled shyly. “Maybe I’m still lacking in my literary skills. Don’t you always say that my words are shocking?”
Du Yue’s smile widened at He Xing’s words. She recalled how speechless she was when He Xing had compared her to pork shoulder, braised pork, and a chicken leg. The two of them chatted as they walked, and they did not feel bored along the way. When they found the granary, the sun had just set.
This was the official granary of the base and also the largest granary in the inner city. Even though it had just experienced a tsunami, the security here was still very complete. Du Yue and He Xing did not approach the four people who were guarding the entrance of the courtyard. They were not here for the granary. They had only come here to wait for the celestial lord.
If the celestial lord really dared to come, they would let him know what it meant to go and never return. The yard of the granary occupied a large area. After all, it was the most important place in the base, and the surroundings were relatively empty. However, due to the tsunami, the two-story buildings in other places were washed away by the sea, and some building materials were washed over.
Du Yue and He Xing found a spot where they could see the entrance of the granary and hid in the building. The two of them had to admit that although the thick fog brought a lot of inconveniences to their lives, it did help them a lot sometimes. For example, now that they were hiding in the dark, they did not have to worry about being discovered by others.
He Xing took out a gun and handed it to Du Yue. Du Yue took it and looked at it carefully. She realized that it was slightly different from the ones she had used before. He Xing seemed to have anticipated her confusion. He lowered his voice and explained to her, “I changed the mirror to a thermal image mirror. It can lock on to the target even in the thick fog.”
