I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

128 Mutual Praise in Business

He Xing drove on the main road for a while before turning into a fork. If they wanted to practice shooting, they had to find a more secluded place far away from the base. It was very quiet in the car, but soon, He Xing’s voice rang out. “When I went out a few days ago, I met Captain Zuo. He said that the search and rescue missions are basically over. They’ve searched everywhere they could, and the survivors have been brought back to the base to settle down. As for the places that are farther away, the base has the intention to help but not the resources.”

After all, if they went too far in the current situation, not only would they not be able to save the people, but they might not even be able to retreat in one piece. Although they had to save people, they had to act within their means. In this post-apocalyptic world, the most important thing was to protect oneself.

Du Yue could understand the base’s approach. In her previous life, no one had ever come to rescue them from the small, remote base she lived in. “After the rescue missions come to an end, the base will begin to arrange for the restoration of communication.”

Du Yue looked at He Xing in surprise. It turned out that what he had said earlier was just a foreshadowing. This was the main point.

He Xing smiled and glanced at her. “It won’t even take a month before the communication within the base will be restored.”

!!

Du Yue did not expect the base to act so quickly. She was surprised and happy to hear the news. Although she did not like to go out and she had the videos that she had downloaded to kill time at home, her days at home would be even more interesting if the internet and communication could be restored.

“After the communication is restored, we won’t have to wrap ourselves up like bears in the corridor just to talk to each other.” He Xing’s voice was filled with joy. It was obvious that he was also looking forward to it. Du Yue’s eyes were curved.

“After communication is restored, let’s add each other on WeChat. We can contact each other on WeChat in the future.” Without waiting for He Xing’s reply, Du Yue shook her head. “But I don’t think WeChat can be used anymore. After all, it hasn’t been maintained for a long time.”

He Xing had never used WeChat before, but that was not important anymore. Captain Zuo also said that the base had contacted many communication experts, and they had developed a new program. When the network was restored, only that program would be usable.

Du Yue was not surprised by He Xing’s words. On the contrary, she felt that it was normal. All sorts of programs needed to be maintained behind the scenes. However, it was unknown where the people who had developed the communication program were. It was normal that they could not use the program.

The base had to redevelop a communication program, which was also the only way to restore communication. The technology from her previous life and the knowledge of the experts were still there. It was not difficult to develop a communication program that was suitable for the current base.

Du Yue could not help but look forward to it. After all, this was a big step for the base to return to normal life. As Du Yue was thinking about this, she realized that the car had gradually come to a stop. He Xing turned off the engine and turned to Du Yue. “Let’s get out of the car. We’re here.” Du Yue looked out of the window. The environment outside was not much different from that of the base. It was still a vast expanse of white and snow-covered branches.

Du Yue followed He Xing out of the car, and He Xing took out his submachine gun. Although he was wearing gloves, his movements were still very agile and standardized. Du Yue looked at him with her eyes wide open. He Xing disassembled the submachine gun step by step and divided it into various parts, explaining them to her one by one. Du Yue listened attentively, her eyes never leaving He Xing’s hand. He Xing’s voice was gentle, clear, magnetic, and pleasing to the ear. His explanation was also very simple and direct.

He Xing reassembled the submachine gun and looked at Du Yue. “Got it?”

“I’m not sure. Let me try it first.”

He Xing handed the gun to Du Yue and made way for her. Du Yue stood still and stared at the submachine gun as she tried to recall. Then, she raised her hand and dismantled the submachine gun step by step according to the steps in her mind. She repeated the steps that He Xing had just explained to her. From the beginning to the end, it was exactly the same. By the time Du Yue finished speaking, the submachine gun in her hand had already been assembled.

He Xing clapped his hands, his eyes filled with admiration. “Du Yue, you’re very talented!”

Du Yue raised her brows at him. “You have good taste too!”

At this time, excessive modesty would make things a little awkward, so it was better to accept the other party’s praise openly. In the past month, although Du Yue had not stepped out of the house, she had never been idle.
