I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 274 It’s Fine as Long as We Can Be Together

274 It’s Fine as Long as We Can Be Together
If not for Du Yue and He Xing’s glasses and the honking sounds, they would have crashed into each other. The convoy had stopped, and a person stuck his head out of the window of the driver’s seat. Du Yue took a closer look. This person was actually Wan Dapeng! However, Du Yue knew that Wan Dapeng could not see them clearly. After all, the distance between the two cars was nearly two meters, and the thick fog blocked their vision.
From Wan Dapeng’s position, he could probably only see the car, but not the people in the car. “Friend, don’t keep going. The bridge in front is broken, so we can’t go on the expressway. Let’s take the highway!”
Du Yue could not help but laugh when she heard Wan Dapeng’s words. She was not laughing at anything else but at how Wan Dapeng was still as enthusiastic as ever.
The first time they met Wan Dapeng, he was just like this. At that time, they even suspected that he had other intentions. Now, they understood that this person was simply kind and warm-hearted. Even if the world was already in a terrible state, there were still such people who were full of enthusiasm and kindness to everyone. Wan Dapeng was precisely this kind of person.
He Xing and Du Yue looked at each other, and Du Yue nodded. He Xing rolled down the window and stuck his head out. “Big Brother Wan! What a coincidence!”
Du Yue was speechless. ‘Although you do look much younger than your actual age, isn’t it too shameless to call him that?’
Du Yue was just thinking about how shameless He Xing was when she saw Wan Dapeng get out of the car and walk toward them. Wan Dapeng took long strides and arrived at their car in a few steps. Seeing that it was them, Wan Dapeng had indescribable joy on his face, “Brother, Sister! It turns out to be the two of you! We’re really destined!”
He Xing laughed. “It’s fate! Big Brother Wan, where are you guys going?”
“The second base is moving inland. The residents in our base had a discussion and decided to go with them. The second base took the highway. We didn’t want to join them, so we planned to take the expressway. We didn’t expect the bridge to be broken, so we can’t proceed. Fortunately, I was driving slowly, or I would have fallen off the bridge just now… Fortunately, nothing dangerous happened. I’m not good at other things, but I’m lucky! Hahaha!” Wan Dapeng laughed as he spoke, and his laughter was very hearty. Hearing his words, one might think that he was an optimistic person, but if one thought about it carefully, one would discover the helplessness in his words.
Du Yue sighed in her heart and asked him, “So your destination is Jingluo as well?”
Wan Dapeng sighed. “That’s right. We were all born and raised on the island. We’ve never been to the mainland, so we don’t know what’s going on in Jingluo. I’m afraid it’ll be impossible to build a new base. We can only go to the third base in Jingluo to live there.” Speaking of this, Wan Dapeng laughed again. “But it’s fine. As long as we can stay together and don’t have to wander around, it doesn’t matter where we live.”
If one wanted to survive in the apocalypse and not break down despite the merciless natural and man-made disasters, one could only try one’s best to be optimistic. Otherwise, if the natural disasters came one after another, even if one was lucky enough to escape, one would not be able to live for long if one did not have a good attitude. Wan Dapeng looked at Du Yue and He Xing curiously. “By the way, why didn’t you two leave with them? Were you left behind?”
He Xing shook his head. “No, there were too many of them. We didn’t want to follow them, so we missed their timing.”
“Haha, so that’s how it is!” The two of them were new here, so it was understandable that they had concerns. Wan Dapeng could understand that. “We can’t take the expressway. Why don’t you come with us to take the highway? We can take care of each other. It’s too dangerous for the two of you to travel such a long distance.”
When Du Yue and He Xing decided to open the window, they had already anticipated this situation, so after hearing Wan Dapeng’s invitation, they did not hesitate and agreed directly. However, Du Yue still said, “We’ll go with you, but we have our own meals. We can’t trouble you anymore.”
Wan Dapeng was slightly stunned when he heard this, but in the end, he agreed helplessly, “Alright, that’s it, then. You guys just need to follow behind our convoy.”
“Yes, yes, alright!”
Seeing Wan Dapeng return to his car, He Xing closed the window. Not long after, Wan Dapeng’s car drove past them. There were more than a dozen cars behind his. There were a few off-road vehicles, and the rest were all pickup trucks and buses.
