Chapter 522:1 Want to Go North

Zuo Mingdong’s men found new bodies in the base almost every day. They would drag the corpses away and bury them, but that was all they could do. They would not delve into the cause of these people’s deaths, and these people did not have graves. The places where the corpses were buried often saw pits dug out by people, with the original corpses in the pits missing.
Looking at the series of messages sent by Zuo Mingdong, Du Yue’s mood was slightly complicated. In her previous life, in the second year of the apocalypse, she had already encountered such a thing, and it became even more common after that. Although things happened a few years later in this life, it seemed that they still could not escape this fate. Now, even before the arrival of the polar night, things had already developed to this stage. When the polar night arrived, the situation in the base would only get worse.
Thinking of this, Du Yue’s heart sank. She was already not sleepy, and now, she could not fall asleep at all. He Xing sat beside Du Yue. Seeing that Du Yue had no intention of falling asleep, he asked gently, “Insomnia?”
Du Yue sighed softly. “I can’t sleep. Have you thought about where we should go from here?”
There was less than a year left before the arrival of the polar night. They had to find a stable foothold before the polar night.
After going past the few official bases, Du Yue had lost all hope for the big bases. Previously, she wanted to live in a large base because she had wandered around in her previous life. That was why she had such an obsession. However, after living in these bases, Du Yue realized that living in a large base was not as wonderful as she thought. Since that was the case, why not go to other places to try? Du Yue was immersed in her own thoughts when she heard He Xing say, “I’ve thought about it. 1 want to go north. What do you think?”
From the location of the first base to the north, they would pass through the northeast of the country, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and other places. Du Yue could not figure out where He Xing wanted to go, so she did not say anything. She just looked at He Xing and signaled him to continue.
He Xing smiled. “Base No. 90 is in the north. Captain Zuo mentioned before that these two bases are located in the east and west respectively. They’re built in a very vast area, which is very different from the bases we used to live in. These two bases don’t have any walls. They only have a rough area. If we go there and find a place far away from the crowd, we should be able to live a quiet life without being afraid of being disturbed.”
Du Yue did not expect He Xing to answer so many of her casual questions. Moreover, his words were reasonable and clear. It was obvious that he had thought it through. Du Yue pondered for a moment and felt that He Xing’s suggestion was very feasible.
“Then when are we leaving this place?” Du Yue asked him.
He Xing pondered for a moment. “There’s no hurry. Let’s wait until Xia Ju has solved the problem of the soil and the eggs.”
No matter what kind of research Xia Ju had done before, it had always been smooth sailing. She had never encountered any problems. However, it had been a long time since the research had progressed. It seemed that the soil problem was really tricky. While Xia Ju was studying, Du Yue and He Xing were not idle either. They had already started preparing to leave. Early the next morning, Zuo Mingdong came over after Du Yue and He Xing had just finished washing up.
Looking at Zuo Mingdong, who was standing at the door, Du Yue was a little puzzled. “You personally brought people to deal with the bodies?”
Zuo Mingdong smiled and shook his head. “No, the bodies were taken away and buried last night. I’m here for something else.”
Du Yue was a little surprised. She did not expect them to take the corpses away in the middle of the night. It seemed that the people working for the base were quite tired. They had to work on the corpses in the middle of the night.
However, they should already be used to it and should not be afraid. Du Yue did not continue thinking about it but said, “If you have anything to say, come in and talk. Don’t stand at the door.”
After saying that, Du Yue turned to the side and made way for Zuo Mingdong.
Zuo Mingdong walked into the courtyard and explained, “The nutrition solution that Xia Ju gave me has been used up, but the researchers in the base can’t figure out the formula in a short time, so I can only come and disturb Xia Ju.”
Du Yue walked in front. “I don’t know if she’s awake. I’ll knock on the door and wake her up.”
Zuo Mingdong was a little embarrassed. “Don’t wake her up if she’s still asleep. It’s fine even if I ask her about it later.”
Du Yue smiled. “It’s fine. I’ll ask for you. During her research, she often doesn’t go out for a day and a night. If you wait here, there’s no end to it..”
