93 Seize the Time and Sleep a Little More

There were a lot of people in the hall, but everyone was quietly huddled in their corners, and no one was speaking. They finally had a full meal, and since it was already nighttime outside, everyone naturally felt sleepy.

Du Yue took out a windbreaker from her backpack, and so did He Xing, who was next to her. He took it out and wrapped himself up. Du Yue had actually brought her sleeping bag with her, but she could not use it in the current situation. With so many people sleeping in the corners, if she took out her sleeping bag without any hesitation, she would instantly become the weirdo in everyone’s eyes. It was a good thing that she had worn a lot of clothes when she left the house, and she had stuck new heating pads on herself before she got out of the car. With the windbreaker wrapped around her, she didn’t feel too cold.

Du Yue and He Xing placed their backpacks together and rested against them. “Go to sleep, I’ll keep watch,” He Xing said to Du Yue in a deep voice.

Du Yue looked at him in surprise. She was just about to mention keeping watch for the night! She was not familiar with the place, and there were so many strangers around her. She would not be able to sleep with peace of mind. Since He Xing had taken the initiative to suggest it, Du Yue did not decline and nodded. “I’ll sleep first, then. It’ll be my turn in the second half of the night.” Instead of wasting time on formalities, it was better for the two of them to seize the time and sleep a little longer.

Over the past year, life in the first base had been very comfortable, but that did not make Du Yue lose her vigilance. Her eyes were closed, but she had only entered a light sleep. Du Yue opened her eyes when she estimated that it was almost midnight. She took out her pocket watch from her bag and looked at the time. It was exactly 12 o’clock.

Du Yue turned to look at He Xing, who happened to be looking at her as well. Their eyes met. With the help of the hazy moonlight outside, Du Yue saw a pair of black and s.h.i.+ny eyes. For some reason, Du Yue felt that his gaze was a little hot. She subconsciously s.h.i.+fted her gaze to the side and whispered to the other party, “Quickly go to sleep! Stop looking around!” It was already 12 o’clock. If he did not sleep now, he would not have much time to rest.

He Xing’s entire body was wrapped up tightly, leaving only his eyes exposed. When he heard Du Yue’s urging, his eyes curved into crescents, and he seemed to be in a good mood. However, he did not say anything. He adjusted his posture, leaned against the backpack, and closed his eyes.

Du Yue heard his breathing gradually become steady and knew that he had fallen asleep. She straightened her back and began to secretly size up the people around her. In the entire hall, except for the person who was sitting by the fire and keeping watch, everyone else had already fallen asleep.

She could hear the people snoring, grinding their teeth, and mumbling. There were too many people, so it was a little noisy when they slept. However, in this kind of environment, a little noise could make one feel more relaxed.

At a simple glance, everyone seemed to have fallen asleep. However, if one observed carefully, one would find that the people from the first base who came to partake in the rescue mission were very different from the survivors.

Just from their clothes and the items they carried, it was easy to tell where they were from. They were wrapped up tightly. Most of the people from the base were wearing down jackets made of good material and had good cutting. Their clothes looked very new as well. However, the survivors here were all wearing tattered clothes. They weren’t all wearing down jackets or cotton clothes. Some of them were wearing all the clothes they had, but they still were not enough.

They were wrapped up tightly in clothes but would feel light-headed when they walked, and it was not warm at all.

Du Yue was observing when she suddenly saw a person in the base stand up very gently. Du Yue did not think too much of it. After all, people needed to eat, drink, and pee. Waking up at night was a human’s biological instinct, so she did not find it strange at all. However, after that person stood up, the people around him also stood up silently. The few of them carried their backpacks and tiptoed toward the door.

Du Yue slowly leaned her body against the wall and slowly closed her eyes, feigning sleep. She only cracked open her eyelids slightly to observe their movements.

There were four of them in total. After they walked out of the main door, they quickly ran toward the parking lot. As soon as they left, a few of the survivors in the corner also stood up and followed them. The survivors bent their backs and moved more carefully, but the speed of their pursuit was quite fast.
