163 Everything Is Destined
He Xing was inexplicably excited, like a child. He took out the giant brick-moving machine again and put it back in. After more than ten minutes of doing this, he was finally satisfied. He kept the brick-moving machine in his interspace and could not help but give Du Yue a thumbs-up. “You’re such a clever little girl! I didn’t expect to be able to do this.”
Du Yue waved her hand. “It’s not that I’m smart, but you’ve never had to consider such things before.” Du Yue had no idea what He Xing’s life was like back in the galaxy. However, at the very least, they would not have to worry about food and clothing. Their lives would be guaranteed. Of course, the weapon space would only be used to store weapons. Why would they put other things in it?
After the apocalypse, things changed. Only then did Du Yue consider such matters. “I wasn’t sure if it’d work, so I asked Captain Zuo to custom-make one for me. Since you can put it in there, we can make more in the future. That way, you can put more food in the storage space.”
At the mention of this, Du Yue suddenly remembered something. “By the way, this thing is quite big. How big is your space? Is there enough space?”
He Xing made a rough estimation and said cautiously, “I don’t know exactly how big it is, but I think it should be big enough to fit the entire base.”
Du Yue was stunned.
“Hurry up! Immediately! Right now! We need to ask Captain Zuo to make more for us!”
“No need!” He Xing stopped Du Yue and said, “Let’s not look for Captain Zuo. Although he’s trustworthy, he doesn’t know how to do it himself, so he still has to order others to do it. If more people know about it, it’ll be inevitable that some people will gossip and find out what we’re doing with the machines.”
“You’re right. If we don’t look for him, who else can we look for?”
“I’ll contact the people in the galaxy. Not only can they make super-large brick-moving machines, but they can also make other weapons hollow.”
Du Yue imagined the scene. “If the other weapons are hollow as well, they’re no different from brick-moving machines, right? But that’s not important. The most important thing is that they can store supplies inside. After it’s done, you can put your clothes and luggage in it. It won’t be so troublesome to go out in the future. More food can also be added. It’s a pity that your space doesn’t have the ability to keep food fresh. Otherwise, I could prepare some food for you, too!”
He Xing smiled when he saw Du Yue’s regretful expression. He reached out his long fingers and touched the tip of her nose. “Little housekeeper, I’m fine with what I have now.”
Du Yue nodded. “I know. One can’t be too greedy.”
He Xing suddenly recalled what Du Yue had said earlier. “Did you say you want to go out in the future? Have you been staying at home for too long, so you feel bored? Do you want to go out for some fresh air?”
“I didn’t say that!”
Du Yue shook her head and looked at He Xing with a blank look in her eyes. Didn’t I tell you before that I was reborn?”
He Xing exclaimed, “You’ve never said that!”
“I must have forgotten. This is actually my second lifetime. In my previous life, I lived to the tenth year of the apocalypse. At that time, there were still natural disasters, and I died because of the acid rain. After that, I had a very long nightmare. When I woke up again, I found that I was reborn three months before the apocalypse. I found a space in the jade pendant that my family gave me. I spent all my money and bought all kinds of supplies, storing them in the space.”
Du Yue kept the whole story short and waited for He Xing’s reaction. After hearing it, He Xing was stunned for a long time before he regained his senses. “Did we know each other in our previous lives?”
“No, I’ve never seen you. In my previous life, I didn’t come to the first base either. I only struggled to survive in some small bases. At that time, I had no supplies or a car, so I couldn’t go anywhere else. Just like everyone else, I lived in confusion, not knowing when I might die.”
He Xing caressed Du Yue’s hair, his heart aching. “Perhaps I didn’t fall from the galaxy to this place in your previous life. The heavens gave you a chance to start over and arranged for me to come to your side by accident. Perhaps it was for me to protect you and let you live a stable and happy life!”
