In the past, when the thick fog blocked their vision, she was even upset about it. Du Yue thought that having the sky be pitch-black was better than the thick fog. There was really no such thing as rock bottom. Things would only get worse.

Before going out, Du Yue put the bed and sofa back into the s.p.a.ce. She took out the bunk beds and placed them in their original position. This was a habit she had developed over the years.

The two of them had just left the door, but before they could walk forward, the door in front of them was pushed open from the inside. Coincidentally, Shen Teng also walked out of the room.

Du Yue saw him and asked with concern, “Can your body still take it?” After all, Shen Teng’s health had just improved, and the current medical conditions were not as good as before. In order to completely recover, he still needed time to recuperate.

Shen Teng did not rest for long after he recovered. He followed them all the way here. Du Yue was still a little worried about his physical condition.

Shen Teng smiled and patted his chest. “I’m fine! This room is much better than mine. The bunk bed is much more comfortable than my air-cus.h.i.+on bed. Besides, the upper bunk can also be used to store things. I think it’s quite convenient.”

“If you like this bed, we’ll bring one when we go back.””

Shen Teng’s eyes lit up. “Can we?”

“There shouldn’t be any problem.” He Xing said, “Just ask Captain Zuo when we go downstairs later.”

Perhaps Shen Teng really liked this bed. After He Xing said this, he could not wait to go downstairs. Shen Teng hurried over to Zuo Mingdong. Zuo Mingdong was shocked when he saw him like this. “Slow down, slow down. Did something happen?”

Shen Teng waved his hand. “It’s nothing. I just like the bunk beds in the room. I want to bring one back to the gra.s.sland. Is that okay, Captain Zuo?”

Zuo Mingdong looked at him with a serious face and shrugged helplessly. “I thought it was something big. Of course, you can take it.”

They had already taken down the coal mine. According to the current rules, everything here belonged to them from now on. Shen Teng had also helped a lot. He could even get ten or 20 beds, let alone one.

Now that production had stagnated and supplies were scarce, a simple bunk bed was very precious. If this was before the apocalypse, no one would care about a bunk bed.

Seeing Zuo Mingdong agree, Shen Teng seemed very happy. “Thank you, Captain Zuo!”

Zuo Mingdong looked at the well-built man in front of him and thought of his performance during the battle. He had an idea. “Brother, do you want to work with me?”

“I don’t want to!”

Zuo Mingdong’s question came out of nowhere, but Shen Teng’s rejection was also very straightforward. Zuo Mingdong did not expect him to reject him without even thinking. He was slightly stunned for a moment.

After reacting for a long time, Zuo Mingdong spoke again, “Why aren’t you willing to work with me? Don’t worry. As long as I stand to gain anything, you will too!”

“This has nothing to do with that.” Shen Teng shook his head. “1 don’t like to be restrained by others. 1 just want to be free to go wherever I want and do whatever 1 want. Thank you for your kind intentions, Captain Zuo.”

Shen Teng’s att.i.tude was firm. Although Zuo Mingdong felt that it was a pity, he could only respect his wishes. “Alright, in that case, forget it. But the door of the first base is always open to you,” Zuo Mingdong said with a smile. “You can come back to me if you change your mind.”

“Alright.” Shen Teng also smiled.

Du Yue, He Xing, and Shen Teng stayed here for three days. Seeing that Zuo Mingdong’s men had already collected the coal and the second batch of people was also about to arrive, they planned to leave.

Before they left, Zuo Mingdong arranged for someone to help them fill their cars with coal, even on the roof. The only difference was that Du Yue and He Xing’s roofs were filled with bags of coal, while Shen Teng’s roof had an additional dismantled bunk bed.

On the way back, Shen Teng could only ride in his own car. Zuo Mingdong was originally worried about his physical condition and planned to arrange for someone to escort him back, but Shen Teng refused. Because of this trip, the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them was closer than before. However, Shen Teng was still unwilling to trouble others and owe them favors.

Otherwise, he would not be able to reject Zuo Mingdong so decisively the next time he extended an olive branch to him..
