I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 291 Wan Dapeng's Enthusiastic Help

291 Wan Dapeng’s Enthusiastic Help
Wu Yan was sincere when he said this. It was not easy to earn money now, and he saw that Du Yue and the others had a lot of people. All the newcomers were waiting for their meals, so he would definitely try to help them save as much as they could. As long as there was a place to live, it did not matter whether the place looked new or old.
“Then we’ll rent both the old and new ones,” He Xing decided.
Du Yue looked at He Xing in confusion, and He Xing nodded at her. The two of them had been together for so long that they had developed a tacit understanding. Although neither of them spoke, they already knew what the other was thinking through their eyes.
The new boards could be used to build the bedroom. After all, the bedroom was a place that one stayed in for a long time every day. As for the kitchen and living room, they could just use old boards to make them. Although they had decided to live with Yu Xinya, they would still eat their own meals.
Fortunately, the courtyard was very large. They chose a location far away from the small building to build the house so that it would be more convenient during normal times. Although Wu Yan had suggested that He Xing and the others rent the old boards, since He Xing had already decided to buy some new ones, Wu Yan would not say anything more. After all, he was a businessman. Who would mind making more money?
After He Xing determined how big he wanted the house, Wu Yan helped to estimate the number of boards needed. Wu Yan specialized in this and was much more experienced than them in this area. After renting these boards, they had to find a way to bring them to the small courtyard. Wu Yan found an electric bike and came over. “Your car definitely can’t fit so many boards. You can pack some first, and I’ll use the bike to deliver the rest. I should be able to finish transporting all in a few trips.”
It was great that Wu Yan offered to help. The other parts needed to build the temporary houses could be directly rented or bought from Wu Yan. When it was time to settle the bill, Du Yue had spent nearly 200 contribution points on the items. In this way, the cost of building a mobile house was indeed quite high, but it was also because it was their first time building a house, so they needed to buy more things.
By the next month, they only needed to pay the rent of the mobile boards, which would not exceed 40 contribution points a month. If they wanted to rent a one-bedroom apartment with a good location and environment, 40 contribution points were far from enough. In that case, it was still quite cost-effective. Moreover, the longer they stayed, the more cost-effective it was.
They pulled the boards to the small courtyard. Wan Dapeng heard the sound of the car coming back and came over to greet them. After he figured out what was going on, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and asked Du Yue and He Xing, ” Where do you want to build the house? I’ll get people to help you do it! There are quite a few people in our base who know how to weld. We’ll definitely be able to let you guys stay here by today.”
Du Yue and He Xing had originally planned to do it themselves, but it was difficult for them to refuse Wan Dapeng’s hospitality. They were embarrassed to be bashful, so they could only agree. The location of their house would be in the corner to the left of the gate, about a hundred meters away from the small building. If this distance was before the thick fog, it would not be too far. However, the fog was thick, and they were separated by more than 100 meters. It was as if they were in two different worlds, and they did not have to worry about their daily lives being disturbed or seen.
They were in the same courtyard, but they kept a certain distance from each other to ensure their privacy. Du Yue preferred this kind of distance. Wan Dapeng walked back to the small building and soon came back with a few strong men. Not only did Wu Yan bring all kinds of construction tools, but he even prepared a mobile power source for them. After connecting it to the power supply, Wan Dapeng and the other men started to work without stopping.
Even He Xing could only stand by and give a hand. Du Yue, who did not know much about construction, could only watch from the side. He Xing’s car had a bright light on top of it, providing light for the workers so that they could see clearly in the thick fog. Du Yue looked at these people chatting and working happily. Du Yue’s heart that had been frozen for a long time gradually melted.
Although she did not like to interact with people and did not want anyone troubling her, after knowing Wan Dapeng and Yu Xinya, she realized that some people still had simple hearts in this ruthless world. Du Yue did not know if the people in Sunshine Base had known each other before the apocalypse. The young men led by Wan Dapeng and Yu Xinya would rather work hard and tire themselves out to protect the elderly and children. They did not let them suffer too much.
