In the corridor, Xia Zhixing looked at the closed door and showed a bitter smile. They had known each other for so long and had seen each other so many times. They had even fought together before, but she was still unwilling to interact with her! However, she had expected this, so Xia Zhixing did not take it to heart. She lowered her voice and said, “If you have a way, hurry up and leave this place. If necessary… you can look for me in Area D.”
Area D? What was this place? Du Yue was still wondering when she heard Xia Zhixing’s footsteps and the sound of conversation. “Let’s go!” The footsteps grew farther and farther until they could no longer be heard.
It was only when they could not hear any movement that Xia Ju asked the question in her heart, “Is this underground shelter divided into districts? She told us to go to Area D to look for her, so where are we now?”
Xia Ju did not know, and neither did Du Yue. However, it was clear that this was the residence of ordinary survivors. This underground shelter was indeed far more than the two floors they had seen.
Du Yue sat down. “Let’s wait a little longer. He Xing has been working for so many days. He probably knows something.”
Xia Ju nodded and glanced at the door. Usually, Xia Ju and He Xing would bicker. This was the first time Xia Ju hoped to see He Xing as soon as possible. However, things never turned out the way one wished. He Xing did not return even when it was six or seven o’clock in the evening.
Du Yue and Xia Ju waited until late at night. It was almost midnight when He Xing finally returned.
Seeing He Xing, Du Yue’s heart was finally able to calm down. She looked around and saw that he was fine. “Why are you back so late?” Du Yue asked.
“I worked overtime to catch up, so I was a little late. However, the robot has already been replicated and put into use. Let’s all go to bed early tonight. We can move to Area D tomorrow.”
Xia Ju was shocked. “We’re moving to Area D too?”
When He Xing heard this, he keenly sensed the meaning behind Xia Ju’s words and asked, “Too? Who else moved there?”
“It’s Xia Zhixing,” Du Yue said softly. “She came to say goodbye to me at noon today and said that she was moving away. She also said that if we needed her help, we could go to Area D.”
Hearing this, He Xing subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
“So where is Area D?”
“The entire underground shelter is roughly divided into four areas. The normal survivors live in Area A, which is where we are now. Area B will be a factory or plantation area in the future. It’s currently under construction. Area C is the office area, and Area D is where the office workers live. Of course, if there are especially rich and powerful people, they can also live in Area D.”
After listening to He Xing’s explanation, Du Yue finally realized that she had thought things too simply. She actually thought that this underground shelter only had two floors.
“Then why can Xia Zhixing move to District D?” Xia Ju was very puzzled. They lived opposite Xia Zhixing. They could see Xia Zhixing’s every move. During this period, Xia Zhixing did not do anything special except take care of the child in her room and occasionally go out to fetch water and use the toilet!
“Maybe it’s because of Guan Sheng. I met Guan Sheng today. He’s a team leader now and is in charge of a construction site.”
Guan Sheng did not come to the fourth base alone. He had a lot of people with him, so he must have brought a lot of supplies with him. With so many young and middle-aged laborers under him, coupled with his courage and ability, and more importantly, his desire to climb up the ladder, it was indeed impossible for him to remain unknown.
As a team leader, he would be able to live in Area D and provide Xia Zhixing and her daughter with a better living environment. Guan Sheng was a responsible man in every aspect. Since Du Yue’s doubts had been answered, she did not say anything else. She just asked He Xing what he wanted to eat and took out the food for He Xing. He Xing had not slept with Du Yue since he started working. He said that he smelled of sweat, so he asked Xia Ju and Du Yue to sleep in the tent while he slept on the small bed. Fortunately, this was their last depressing night.
The next morning, the three of them had breakfast early in the morning and packed everything in the room into their hiking bags.
Just as they walked out of the room, they bumped into the old woman. After all, they had interacted a few times and had a deep impression of each other. They could recognize each other at a glance. The old woman’s gaze swept over Du Yue and the other two. When she saw that the three of them were carrying big and small bags and carrying mountaineering bags on their backs, she was stunned at first.. Then, she asked with a puzzled expression, “Where are you guys going?”
