After saying a few words to Zuo Mingdong, Du Yue got into the car first. Xia Ju did not have much of a relations.h.i.+p with Zuo Mingdong, so she had already driven away with the chickens. Du Yue sat in the driver’s seat and started the car. Then, she turned her head to look at He Xing and Zuo Mingdong, who were bidding farewell to each other. As the window was open, Du Yue could hear everything He Xing said clearly. “Captain Zuo, you said that the fog has been around for more than two years. When will the days where the sun can’t be seen end?”

Zuo Mingdong looked at He Xing in confusion, not understanding the meaning behind his words. Why did He Xing suddenly mention this to him before they parted? Although he was puzzled, Zuo Mingdong still answered him seriously, “I don’t know, but 1 believe that there’s always a way out. Sooner or later, everyone will be able to see the sun.”

He Xing curled his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. “These days, I’ve been reading a lot of disaster novels and movies. I’m getting more and more uneasy. We’ve experienced extremely hot and cold weather, a huge earthquake, and now the sky is covered in this dense fog that hasn’t dispersed for a full two years. I think it might really be like what the novels say. There’ll be other disasters in the future.”

“Other disasters?” Zuo Mingdong’s heart skipped a beat. “You mean…”

He Xing interrupted him, “After the thick fog, the first base was plagued by insects. We still haven’t found a way to solve the problem. A tsunami occurred in the second base, and many people died. There was a sandstorm in the third base. I don’t know if it ended after we left. The volcano in the fourth base erupted, and no living things could survive on the ground in the entire province. Everyone could only struggle to survive underground. With so many disasters erupting one after another, regardless of whether there’ll be other disasters in the future, 1 think it’s best to prepare for the worst.”

“Other disasters… What could it be?”

“I read in a novel that the sun will completely disappear, and the whole world will fall into darkness, never to see the sun again. After all, all kinds of ridiculous things have happened in this world, don’t you think?”

As Zuo Mingdong listened to He Xing, the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

The two of them had known each other for so long. Based on his understanding of He Xing, He Xing would not say so much nonsense to him for no reason before parting. Zuo Mingdong hesitated for a moment. When he looked up again, his eyes were full of caution. “I’ll take some time to read the novels you mentioned.”

Although he said that, both of them knew what Zuo Mingdong meant. Zuo Mingdong was a smart person. He Xing knew that he had understood the meaning behind his warning. That was enough!

He Xing looked over and said goodbye seriously, “Goodbye, Captain Zuo.”

Zuo Mingdong nodded. “Take care!”

He Xing turned around and got into the pa.s.senger seat without hesitation. Du Yue did not hesitate either. She stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away. After driving for more than ten kilometers, Du Yue slowly stopped the car by the roadside because she saw another car parked by the roadside. Xia Ju was waiting for them in front.

Du Yue and He Xing got out of the car together and put Du Yue’s car directly into the s.p.a.ce. After getting into the other car, Du Yue put all the eggs in the car into her s.p.a.ce. The bottom of the boxes that contained the eggs were all covered with dried gra.s.s. Even if the road was b.u.mpy, there was no need to worry about them being knocked and broken. This was all arranged by Zuo Mingdong in advance. After putting away the eggs, Du Yue went to look at the two cages of chickens. The chickens in the cages were all lively and looked to be in good condition.

Everything was ready. Du Yue and Xia Ju sat at the back. He Xing sat in the driver’s seat and drove. The three of them officially set off. He Xing’s driving skills were very good. In addition, the performance of this car was much better than ordinary cars. If the road conditions were not too bad, sitting in the car was actually no different from sitting in a room. Du Yue and Xia Ju were sitting at the back, discussing braised chicken.

He Xing, who was in front, suddenly stepped on the brakes. Everything happened too suddenly. Du Yue and Xia Ju were not prepared at all and were almost thrown out.

He Xing was not a person who would make a fuss over nothing. Even when they previously encountered any b.u.mps or roadblocks, he never braked this abruptly. Du Yue immediately became alert. “He Xing, what happened?”

He Xing stared straight ahead and replied in a low voice, “Looks like someone doesn’t want us to leave..”
