I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 201 Drag Him Out From the Dark

201 Drag Him Out From the Dark

This bag looked so small. It should not be able to hold more than a dozen… He Xing looked at Du Yue. “My bag can’t fit so many, but there’s more in Du Yue’s bag.”

Du Yue nodded and opened her satchel to show Zuo Mingdong what was inside. Zuo Mingdong took a look and saw some chicken legs inside.

However, they were much smaller than the one He Xing had taken out earlier. “Why are these chicken legs so much smaller than the previous one?” Zuo Mingdong could not help but feel a little puzzled.

Du Yue touched her nose awkwardly. “Uh… Chickens are living creatures, so there’ll be a difference in size, and the same goes for chicken legs.”

Hearing Du Yue’s explanation, Zuo Mingdong nodded subconsciously. He felt that what she said made sense.

After that, they met with the remaining 15 intruders and got them to draw the location of the underground city on the map according to their memories. After it was over, Zuo Mingdong took them to the office and placed the 15 maps and the map drawn by the first person in front of them.

There were 16 maps, and at a glance, the circles drawn by those people were in 16 different corners of the map. Du Yue glanced at them and was so angry that she laughed. The city was not that big, and it was difficult for the 16 of them to find 16 different places on the map to fool them.

Zuo Mingdong was also a little speechless. “If that 17th person was not killed by you guys, I think the circle he drew would’ve been different as well.”

Du Yue nodded in agreement. “It’s obvious that their operation this time was premeditated. Perhaps they even rehea.r.s.ed their response to being caught in advance.”

As Zuo Mingdong spoke, his brows gradually furrowed together, “Although what they said is basically the same, it may not be true. This matter still needs to be investigated slowly, and the base will send people to the city to investigate. Even if we ask again, I don’t think we’ll be able to get any more information. I’ll contact you when the people I send out bring back news.”

He Xing shook his head. “No, that king wants to hide in the dark. The more you want to find him, the harder it’ll be. It’s your business to send people out of the base, but I’m going to the city to meet him myself.” He Xing turned to look at Du Yue.

Before He Xing could say anything, Du Yue had already nodded at him. “I’ll go with you.” Her Tang sword had been itching for some action.

Zuo Mingdong knew very well that Du Yue and He Xing would never change their minds once they had made up their minds. Since the two of them had already decided to go to the city, there was no point in him trying to stop them. “How about this? You guys can move together with the people we send out. At least you can look out for each other.”

Du Yue smiled at him. “Thank you for your kindness, but there’s no need. We’re more used to moving on our own.” If they were to act together with Zuo Mingdong’s men, they would definitely have to eat those dry biscuits when they were out, and they would not be able to sleep well. Du Yue really did not want to suffer like that.

Zuo Mingdong looked at He Xing but did not speak. He Xing nodded at him. “Yes, we can go alone.”

“Alright, take care of your own safety. By the way, the city should be flooded with bugs now. I’ll bring over some pesticide for you to take with you.”

This time, Du Yue and He Xing did not refuse. For now, pesticide was even more important than food when they went out for missions. If they were attacked by bugs, they could forget about having a good sleep. However, they could not accept someone’s kindness for nothing, so they paid Zuo Mingdong according to the base’s price. Before they left, Du Yue and He Xing took a map with them. The 16 locations were marked on it.

Although they knew that these locations might be fake, they could at least be used as a reference, so the two of them decided to take them home. Other than the maps, they also brought back the pesticide. The basket in front of the electric bike was filled to the brim with pesticide. Even Du Yue had several large bags of bottles of pesticide in her hands. With so many bottles of pesticide, they would be enough for the two of them to go out for ten days.

That was the good thing about both of them having their own s.p.a.ces. Other people had to prepare their bags before going out, but the two of them only needed to have a good night’s sleep at home. The next day, they did not need to bring anything and could just drive directly to the gate of the base. Zuo Mingdong had informed the relevant parties in advance, so it was very smooth when they left the base’s gate. When the car left the base, He Xing could speed up a little. The area outside the base was also covered in a thick fog, but fortunately, there was almost no one on the road, so they did not need to worry about cras.h.i.+ng into anyone.
