Chapter 608: Consider Me First

“We can use coal to generate electricity here, so our lives will be more convenient,” explained He Xing. Du Yue nodded, understanding He Xing’s meaning. Actually, living here would not only make life more convenient. More importantly, with something that could generate electricity, they could legitimately use electricity without worrying about others suspecting them.

Although this place was not bad, Du Yue decided not to stay after careful consideration. “I still want to go back to the grasslands.” The three of them had finally settled down on the grasslands. They were raising so many poultry and livestock there. They even dug a basement and set up steel plates in the surroundings. Their lives were on the right track.

Du Yue could not bear to give up on the home that she had painstakingly built. Although they could use electricity freely here, there would be a lot of trouble. They were definitely not the only ones who knew that there was a coal mine in this location. Even if Zuo Mingdong arranged for someone to take over this place in the future, this place would not be quiet.

Although she had the ability to protect herself, Du Yue still wanted to live a quiet life and did not want to fight every day. Du Yue had a lot of things to consider, but she did not say much to He Xing. It was not that she did not want to say it, but she knew very well that He Xing could definitely guess what she was thinking. This was a tacit understanding between the two of them.

As expected, He Xing did not ask for the reason. Instead, he said, “Alright, then let’s go back to the grasslands. However, we might have to come over a few more times in the future.”

“What will we be doing here?”

“I want to get more coal back. Other than for day-to-day purposes, 1 can use it for other things.”

Du Yue immediately understood that He Xing wanted to use it for research. She nodded. “Actually, we don’t have to come here personally. We can talk to Captain Zuo and ask him to arrange for someone to help us transport the coal back. We can exchange it for supplies.”

Even though she knew that He Xing would not encounter any danger with his ability, Du Yue did not want to be separated from He Xing often. After all, the situation outside was too complicated, and there was no communication tool. Once the two of them separated, it would be very easy for them to not be able to find each other again. Even if the probability of such a thing happening was very small, Du Yue did not want to take the risk.

He Xing looked at her and smiled. “Alright, let’s do that.”

After dinner, the two of them told Zuo Mingdong about what they had discussed. Zuo Mingdong agreed without hesitation. “Alright, we’ll do as you say! However, I have a small request. If your research is successful and it’s helpful for survival, I hope you can consider me first.”

Zuo Mingdong’s words had a good sense of propriety. He was asking Du Yue and He Xing to give him priority after their research was successful. He was not asking them to directly give him the research results.

He Xing smiled and patted his shoulder. “You don’t have to say that. If the research is successful, well definitely consider you first.”

Zuo Mingdong smiled. He remembered that when he first met He Xing, He Xing had been studying all kinds of things in the first base. He had not given up until now. Zuo Mingdong often thought that he was lucky to be able to meet Du Yue and He Xing in such an environment and become friends with them.

He Xing did not know what Zuo Mingdong was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely tell Zuo Mingdong that this greatest fortune was that Du Yue had chosen the first base.

After dinner, Du Yue, He Xing, and Shen Teng went back to their rooms to rest. As for the night watch, Zuo Mingdong had already arranged for his men to do it.

After returning to the room, Du Yue took out the bed from the space and took out two bathtubs filled with hot water. She took a comfortable hot bath with He Xing.

In order to avoid being discovered, Du Yue and He Xing did not use any cleaning products. The temperature outside was getting lower by the day, and everyone’s clothes were getting thicker by the day.

As there was no heating, wearing a hat in the room would not arouse suspicion. However, it was always better to be careful. Du Yue decided to only wash her hair after she went home. She would endure it for now.

Du Yue had a good night’s sleep that night.

When she woke up the next morning, Du Yue walked to the window and opened the curtains. She saw that it was still dark outside. There were a few street lamps in the mine that were on, but the light was still dim. Even though the Eternal Night had already descended for some time, Du Yue was still not used to it..
