Chapter 559: Sun Heading North
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zou Bo did not beat about the bush and made his thoughts very clear. Humans were selfish and capable of coming up with schemes. It was just that some people were used to hiding that side of them and using other methods to obtain what they wanted. However, some people were neither greedy nor possessive. They used what they had to exchange with others. Comparing the two, Du Yue naturally preferred people like Zou Bo who were straightforward. “Then what do you plan to give me in exchange?” Du Yue nodded slightly and asked.
“We have living supplies, clothes, shoes, socks, and gasoline. When we rushed back just now, we even hunted something on the way. What do you need?”
The things Zou Bo listed out were nothing Du Yue needed, but she did not reject him directly. After thinking for a while, Du Yue said, “Answer a few questions first.”
Zou Bo nodded and smiled. “Tell me, what are your questions?”
“Which city was your Happiness Base originally stationed in?” Du Yue asked.
Zou Bo did not hesitate. “Do you know Qinghe City where the first base is located? We were in a small city near that place. We used to exchange supplies with the first base.”
“How are the living conditions in Happiness Base?”
“Although we can’t eat and drinkwell, it’s not a problem for us to survive and wear warm clothes. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be alive until now.”
Zou Bo’s words made sense, but if the living conditions in Happiness Base were really good, why did Zou Bo and the others come all the way to the grassland? After Du Yue asked this question, Zou Bo was a little confused. “Didn’t you guys move here after receiving the news?”
“News? What news?”
Zou Bo was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted. “Look at my brain. You said before that you came to the grassland some time ago, so it’s normal that you don’t know about it.”
Hearing Zou Bo’s words, Du Yue could not help but frown. He had said so much, but none of the information was useful. Just as Du Yue was about to speak again, Zou Bo said, “After the fog completely dissipated, everyone thought that the natural disasters had completely ended and that we could finally live our lives like before. Suddenly, a helicopter appeared in the sky. There was a large banner hanging on it. The banner had a sentence written on it—’eternal night is coming, the sun is shining toward the north.’ At first, we thought it was a prank, but later on, everyone realized that daylight was getting shorter and shorter. After that, we could only believe the words on the banner. After discussing with the other people in the base, we decided to move to the north with the sun, and then we came here.”
Zou Bo took out his phone and showed Du Yue the video. “Look, this is the video I took. Although the resolution isn’t very clear, you can see some of it.” Du Yue took the phone from the gap in the iron fence and looked at the video playing on the screen. There was indeed a helicopter flying in the air in the video, and there was indeed a banner hanging from the helicopter. As the helicopter was moving very fast, the image was a little blurry. Du Yue paused the video and took a screenshot. She found that what was written on the banner was indeed as Zou Bo had said. Du Yue turned around and handed the phone to He Xing and Xia Ju. After the two of them looked at it one by one, Du Yue handed the phone back to Zou Bo through the gap in the iron fence.
“Then, are all the people from the first base heading north?”
“Yes. But they have a lot of people and a lot of luggage,” said Zou Bo. “That’s why they’re slower than us.”
“Are they also heading toward the grassland?”
“That’s right. When 1 met them on the way, 1 spoke a few words with them. They told me that they were going to a base in the north, but I don’t know if they’ll pass by here.”
Since all her questions had been answered, Du Yue did not beat about the bush. “How many grass seeds do you want?”
Zou Bo was pleasantly surprised. “You agree to trade with me? Great, thank you! We have more people, so if possible, we want to exchange for more. However, it still depends on you. If you don’t have much…”
Zou Bo felt a little embarrassed. Du Yue could not help but smile. “You don’t have to worry about that. We still have quite a lot. Is 200 catties enough?” “2-200 catties?”
Seeing Zou Bo’s shocked expression, Du Yue could not help but laugh.. “What? Is 200 catties not enough for you?”
