272 Although It’s Developed, It’s a Desert When It Comes to Food
“In that case, I’m thinking that we should move inland with the people from the second base. The base didn’t tell us exactly where we’re going, but I have a feeling that we’re going to move to the third base.”
“The third base?”
Of course, Du Yue knew about the third base. The information that Zuo Mingdong gave them back then had the addresses of ten bases. The third base was in Jingluo. Jingluo had four distinct seasons, a pleasant climate, and a rich historical heritage.
Throughout history, the imperial capital of many dynasties was built there. From ancient times until now, Jingluo had always been known as the hinterlands of the nine prefectures. However, Du Yue’s understanding of Jingluo was limited to this. She had never been there before and had only read some information on the internet. She did not know why the third base would choose that place.
Since they did not want to go back to the first base, going there might be a good choice. With that in mind, Du Yue nodded. “Sure, but we won’t be following the main group. We’ll set off two days later and just follow behind them.” She did not want to travel with the people from the second base. The more people there were, the more troubles there would be. Du Yue still hoped that the journey would be smooth.
The next morning, after Du Yue and He Xing had their breakfast, they heard the broadcast in the base. “All residents, please gather at the south gate. All residents, please gather at the south gate…” That was the only sentence repeated over the radio. Du Yue and He Xing listened without any intention of moving.
Du Yue looked at the time. “It’s not even eight o’clock yet. They’re gathering now, so they can probably leave before ten.”
He Xing did not think so. “I don’t think it’ll go so smoothly.”
Although the two of them had just arrived at the second base, He Xing had long discovered that most of the power here was in the hands of the celestial lord. The so-called chief of the second base had almost been replaced by the celestial lord. Now that the celestial lord was dead, no one would necessarily listen to the words of the chief of the base. It was not an easy task to gather everyone and set off.
Due to this, Du Yue and He Xing pushed back their departure time by another day. However, there were still benefits to waiting for this day. He Xing’s custom-made glasses were ready! Du Yue’s eyes were filled with surprise when she saw He Xing take out two pairs of glasses with silver frames. “They’re done already?!”
He Xing passed one of the glasses to her. “Put them on and take a look.”
Du Yue took them and put them on. She looked out of the car. Before, she could not see what was going on outside, but now, she could easily see things within a 30-meter radius.
Du Yue looked left and right, blinked, and took off the glasses. As soon as she took off the glasses, everything in front of her was covered by the thick fog again, and she could not see anything. Du Yue put on the glasses again and could see clearly again. At this moment, Du Yue was like a child who had just received a new toy. She was playing with the glasses with great pleasure.
After playing for a while, Du Yue finally stopped. She looked at He Xing, who was beside her, and could not help but exclaim, “The technology of your interstellar is really amazing.”
He Xing had the glasses on his face as well. He smiled when he heard this. “Although the interstellar is technologically advanced, it’s a desert for food. I still prefer the blue planet.”
Du Yue looked at He Xing, who was wearing the glasses, and said seriously, “You don’t say. You look quite handsome with the glasses on.”
He Xing was a good-looking man with delicate facial features. Coupled with his silver-gray hair, he looked like a man who had just walked out of a comic book.
