Chapter 172 - 172 It’s Hard to Say If There Are Any Survivors172 It’s Hard to Say If There Are Any Survivors
The two of them had just met up with Zuo Mingdong, and before they could ask… Zuo Mingdong told them everything. “Ever since the temperature started to rise, many people have said that the disaster is over. They don’t want to stay in the base any longer. They want to go back to the city to take a look. They hope the base can help them rebuild their lives after the disaster.”
After saying this, Zuo Mingdong sighed helplessly, “Sigh, these people are just happy. No one is concerned anymore. Since the temperature rose, it’s been foggy outside during the day. The visibility is getting lower and lower. Sometimes, you can’t even see the sun. How does it look like the disaster has ended?

Du Yue and He Xing listened quietly until Zuo Mingdong was done. He Xing then asked, “What do you plan to do with the base?”
!!
If it was just a few people who wanted to do this, the base could just appease them and let them go. However, a large number of people wanted to go back. If the base really let them go back to the city, it would definitely cause trouble in the future.
“Their attitude is firm, so the base has decided to take them back to see. When they see the situation in the city with their own eyes, they’ll probably give up. Previously, the weather was so cold that it was inconvenient to go anywhere. Now, it’s much more convenient to travel. Perhaps we can save some survivors this time. It’s just that after two years of extreme cold, it’s hard to say if there are any survivors in the city.”
At the end of his speech, Zuo Mingdong’s tone became heavier and heavier. Du Yue and He Xing also fell silent upon hearing this. Zuo Mingdong’s stance was clear, and he was not a person who needed to be consoled. He told them all this not only to vent his frustration but also to ask them something. “Do you two want to come with us to the city this time?”
To the city? Before Zuo Mingdong invited them, Du Yue had never thought about this problem. However, Du Yue did not reject him immediately when he asked her this question. Due to poor conditions in her previous life, Du Yue could only stay in a small base and could not go anywhere. Now that she had the opportunity, she could follow them and take a look.
Du Yue did not agree immediately. Instead, she asked him, “Will you still be leading the team this time? And when do we leave?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, I’m leading the team.” Zuo Mingdong nodded. “I have to make some preparations tomorrow. I plan to leave the day after tomorrow.”
Two days were enough for her and He Xing to clean up the house. Du Yue looked at He Xing, asking for his opinion with her eyes. He Xing knew that Du Yue wanted to go, so he nodded at Captain Zuo. “We’ll go with you, then.”
Zuo Mingdong looked at them with a smile, “I know you guys are most afraid of trouble. Don’t worry, this operation will be the same as before. You won’t be ordered around by anyone, and you won’t be needed for the rescue mission. However, if we encounter any danger, I still hope that you can lend us a hand.”
This was not a big deal. Du Yue and He Xing agreed to it immediately.
“But if you guys go out with us this time, you won’t get any rewards. I still have to make this clear to you in advance. However, if the two of you manage to hunt something, just like before, it’ll all be your own gains. If the base needs it, I’ll use my contribution points to buy it from you.”
Du Yue liked Zuo Mingdong’s straightforward personality. He made everything clear first to avoid any unpleasant things from happening later. After the three of them finished their discussion, they did not waste any more time. Zuo Mingdong got someone to come over and take the two of them to buy the power grid and the gate.
With someone’s help, it would be twice the result with half the effort. They had only made one visit but already bought everything. Although these miscellaneous items cost Du Yue 6,000 contribution points in total, she felt that it was very appropriate. He Xing’s car could not fit too many things, but fortunately, they could deliver the goods to their house. The staff could even help to unload the things into the yard.
