Du Yue got out of the car, but before she could stand still, she heard someone call her. “Do you need my help?” The voice came so suddenly that Du Yue was taken aback. When she finally reacted, she looked in the direction of the voice. A man with a head full of silver was lazily leaning on an electric pole by the roadside, smiling at her innocently.

Du Yue’s brows were furrowed slightly. That head of silver hair was too eye-catching, so she recognized who the man was at first glance. It was the man who had sold her the ring. The ring was still on Du Yue’s finger, and she subconsciously rubbed it a few times. This man did not look like an ordinary person, so Du Yue was not surprised to see him in the base.

However, the first base had a huge area. How could she so coincidentally meet him here? Du Yue did not believe it was a coincidence. However, she felt that it was impossible for this man to have followed her here.

“Do you want me to help you move it?” He Xing asked softly when Du Yue did not speak.

Du Yue did not let her guard down even when she saw his simple and direct gaze. “What are you doing here?”

“I live here too in this building. I’m on the seventh floor.” He Xing looked calm and did not do anything unusual. Du Yue responded, “Mhm.” He even stayed on the same floor as her. No matter what, Du Yue could not convince herself that their meeting was just a simple coincidence.

She sized him up warily and said in a low voice, “You followed me here.”

“No, I really didn’t!” He Xing shook his head repeatedly. “I just arrived at the base today. When the staff member brought me to look at the house, I happened to see you go out. I knew that you were the only one living on the seventh floor, so I rented the house opposite yours.

Du Yue’s eyes gradually relaxed after He Xing’s sincere explanation, but she still felt a little awkward. “There are so many houses in the base. Why must you stay on the same floor as me?”

He Xing smiled and scratched his head. “To be honest, I’ve just arrived here and I’m not familiar with this place. I only know you in the entire base, so it’s definitely more convenient to stay with someone I know.”

Du Yue was stunned. They had only met a few times. They were far from familiar with each other. Besides, she did not know if this man was stupid or if he had some bad intentions. In this apocalyptic world, other than those bad guys who blocked the road and robbed people, the people she should be most wary of were her acquaintances. The more familiar a person was with one, the less likely they would be merciful when they set one up.

However, Du Yue knew very well that the house next door would be rented out sooner or later. Although she had a lot of supplies, she was not stupid enough to rent two houses for herself. Although she had only met He Xing a few times, she did not dislike him. It would be nice to be his neighbor. Moreover, He Xing had already rented the house, so she had no right to drive him away.

Du Yue’s eyes flashed as she glanced at the iron gate on the ground. “I was planning to install an iron gate at the door of my house. Since you’re living next door… how about installing this iron gate at the stairway?”

“Alright! I think that’s a great idea!” He Xing agreed to Du Yue’s suggestion without hesitation. “Installing such a sturdy iron gate at the top of the stairs would be like adding another layer of security. It’s good.”

“But I can’t just accept this for nothing. I can share some resources with you. What do you lack now? Let’s take the gate upstairs first. It’s too conspicuous out here. When it’s installed, you can come to my house and pick out some supplies you want to bring back.”

Du Yue’s brows were raised slightly. This person was quite generous. Not many people were as generous as him in the apocalypse. However, in just half a year’s time, how did he turn from a poor lad who was clutching his stomach and saying that he had nothing to eat into someone with a lot of supplies? However, Du Yue did not think too much about it. This man seemed to be capable. It was not surprising that he had accumulated some supplies in the past six months.

However, she was a little curious. He seemed to be capable and very loyal to others. How did he end up in a state where he could not even afford to eat? However, she did not have the habit of prying on other people’s privacy. It was only for a moment before she put away her surprise. She followed the man and lifted the iron gate upstairs.

Du Yue’s strength was considered strong among girls. Coupled with He Xing’s brute force, the two of them easily moved the huge iron gate, which weighed 160 to 170 catties, to the seventh floor.
