Chapter 566: Decided to Stay
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Most of the people’s daily routines became chaotic, causing Zou Bo’s camp to be filled with people from morning till night. Everyone slept and woke up at different times. The camp there was noisy every day. Fortunately, their campsite was still some distance away from the small courtyard, and the RVs’ soundproofing was also quite good. As long as the doors were closed, they could not hear the sounds clearly. Otherwise, Du Yue was not sure if she would flip out because her rest was affected. Even though it was already the Eternal Night, the three of them still had a very normal schedule. They woke up early and went to bed early every day, just like before.
The animals in the yard and Shen Teng, who did not stay far from Zou Bo’s camp, also had the same routine as them.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, He Xing took out his walkie-talkie and contacted Shen Teng. “The chicks can be brought back to be raised. You should take the time to come over and bring them back!”
Shen Teng had always wanted to raise chickens. He had even prepared a chicken coop in advance and was just waiting to bring the chicks back. As soon as He Xing finished speaking, Shen Teng’s impatient voice came from the walkie-talkie. “Can I go and get them now? Are you free?”
“Yeah, come over.”
“I’ll be there soon!”
Du Yue, who had been listening to their conversation, got up and found a cardboard box in the RV. She walked out of the RV with He Xing and walked toward the chicken coop. They had a total of 15 chicks, and Shen Teng wanted to raise six. They could not tell the gender of the chicks when they were still so small, so they simply took six and placed them in the box. Anyway, the males could be killed for their meat when they grew up, and the females could lay eggs. It would not be a waste of energy to raise them.
Du Yue had just placed the chicks in the box when she heard footsteps approaching. The two of them walked to the gate and opened it. The next second, they saw Shen Teng, who was full of excitement. Du Yue handed the box to him. “All six are here. You can take them with you! Have you read the breeding manual?”
Shen Teng nodded repeatedly. “I’ve read it many times. I can even memorize the words now!”
Shen Teng said as he handed the sack over his shoulder to He Xing, then picked up the cardboard box with the chicks. “That’s the food we agreed on, so I’m taking the chicks away. Hurry up and close the gate!”
After they watched Shen Teng leave, Du Yue and He Xing returned to the RV with the sacks. There were 50 catties of corn in the sack, which Shen Teng used to exchange for the chicks. Shen Teng had his own principles. Even though he knew that Du Yue and the others had more resources than he had, he had never thought of taking anything from them for free. Every time, he made sure to get the calculations right and gave as much as he should. Du Yue and the other two were willing to keep in touch with him because of his personality.
No matter how good the relationship between friends was, they must not be vague about what should be done. This way, everyone could get along for a long time.
Du Yue first put the corn into her space, then took out her binoculars and looked at Zou Bo’s camp. It was pitch-black outside, and ordinary binoculars were useless. Fortunately, they had night-vision binoculars, so they could see clearly. Zou Bo’s camp was as lively as usual. However, Du Yue still noticed something different. When those people were moving, they would look in the direction of the first base from time to time. Everyone’s eyes were slightly complicated. Du Yue could not guess what they were thinking.
It was past ten o’clock, but the first base did not seem to have any intention of leaving. Did they decide to stay? If Zuo Mingdong was really staying, they would have one more friend to chat with in the future, but there would definitely be a lot of trouble too. Zou Bo’s Happiness Base, including the people who had been hanging around their entrance, only had about 800 to 900 people. The number of people in the first base was many times more.
If these people stayed, it would probably be even more lively in the future.
Zuo Mingdong came to visit again when it was close to lunchtime. “Today, I discussed with the people in the base. No one wants to leave, so we plan to stay.”
Du Yue was not surprised to hear this news. She just asked, “Then where do you plan on staying?”
This was the question she was most concerned about. Zuo Mingdong pointed at the troops in the distance. “We plan to turn back and set up camp by the river. We have too many people. Before we have a well, we can only rely on the water in the river to survive.”
He Xing nodded and said, “1 have a set of well-drilling equipment. If you need it, you can take it with you anytime..”
