I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse-Chapter 59 - I’m Quite Glad That He’s My

Before this, Du Yue had been struggling to decide whether she should inform the base about the extreme cold. Now that the base had detected that the extreme cold was coming, they had issued an announcement for everyone to be prepared. This also made Du Yue feel much more relaxed. After a stroll outside, Du Yue’s clothes were drenched in sweat when she returned home. She quickly took off her clothes and went to take a shower.

For the past two months, other than preparing food at home and storing them, Du Yue would also take time to boil water every day. Anyway, she had the solar panels and did not have to pay for electricity. She would use them as much as possible while the sun was hot. She put the boiled water into buckets and kept them in the interspace, saving them for the extremely cold weather.

The hot water she had was far from enough. Du Yue planned to take some time out and bring back a charcoal heater. Of course, she had already prepared the heater. However, if she wanted to use it openly in the cold weather, she had to think of a way to get it out in advance.

The next night, Du Yue drove out of the base. Du Yue had been living in the base for more than two months. This was the second time she had driven out of the base, except for the time when she went out to get the iron gate when she first arrived. As she drove past the gate of the base, she saw the long line of vehicles outside the base.

Ever since the address of the first base was announced, those with the slightest ability and resources would try their best to come to the base. After all, in an apocalyptic world, if one could not find a suitable shelter, it would be too difficult to struggle for survival outside.

Du Yue did not stop for long. She drove east for about a kilometer and found a more hidden place to park the car. Du Yue took out a heater from her interspace and placed it in the trunk of her car. The trunk of her off-road vehicle was extremely spacious, and there was still half of the space left after the heater was placed. Looking at the empty space, Du Yue suddenly thought of He Xing. Without much hesitation, she took out another heater from her space.

This type of heater was 60 centimeters tall. The lower body and four legs of the heater were silver-gray in color, and the top was made of black iron. Although the appearance was not very beautiful at first glance, it was the most practical one Du Yue had chosen out of more than a dozen heaters after many comparisons. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

The purpose of the heater was to keep one warm, so it did not matter to Du Yue whether it looked good or not. In this apocalyptic world, even one’s own beauty was not as important as one’s life, let alone the appearance of a heater. In addition to the heater, Du Yue also took out a number of boxes from her interspace and placed them in the trunk. The boxes were filled with charcoal.

She did not fill just the inside of the car with them but also tied more than 10 boxes of charcoal to the roof of the car. After everything was ready, Du Yue drove back to the base. As soon as the car stopped, Du Yue saw He Xing walking toward her before she could get out of the car.

Du Yue opened the door and got out of the car. He Xing was already in front of the car. He looked at the boxes on the roof of the car and asked, “What did you buy? There are so many boxes.”

“Didn’t you tell me a few days ago that the temperature is going to drop? I bought some charcoal and a heater.”

“Did you really just buy ‘some’ charcoal?” He Xing looked at the small mountain of boxes on the roof of the car. He could not understand why Du Yue was so modest when she described the number of boxes.

‘How could she say that she just bought some? There was clearly a lot. There was a whole bunch, okay!’

“Yes, just some. I didn’t prepare much.” Du Yue’s expression remained the same. “By the way, do you have a heater?”

“No, I only prepared some warm clothes and bedding.”

“That’s alright. I bought an extra one. You can have it.”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you. Let’s move these things up first. There are so many things here, and we have to move them up before dawn. If you’re free later, come home with me. I still have other weapons at my place. You can take a look and see if they’re suitable. I’ll give you one.”

After listening to He Xing’s words, Du Yue could not help but give him a thumbs up in her heart. He had to admit that He Xing was really smart! It was really easier to get along with such a person.

Although He Xing was a little talkative and sometimes a little too enthusiastic which made her not know what to say, he always knew his limits and was never curious about things that he should not ask. He also maintained a proper distance during interactions, making one feel relaxed when interacting with him.

Sometimes, Du Yue felt lucky that he was her neighbor!
