I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse

Chapter 350 Isn’t Even Good for Smashing Walnuts
Du Yue was nearby. She glanced at Yu Xinya’s balance and saw that she had less than 500 contribution points left. The Sunshine Courtyard had always been a community organization. Everyone worked together in the fields, and all the income was handed over to Yu Xinya to manage. Wan Dapeng and Lu Xun did not keep the 3,000 contribution points that she had asked Yu Xinya to transfer. However, Yu Xinya was not willing to use the money to buy other things, so she just kept it. In addition, some people who had nothing to do in the small courtyard would go out to do odd jobs for a few days and earn some money.

In addition to the things they had bought like the movable boards and accessories, they only had this much money left after buying the food.

Yu Xinya put the identity card in her pocket and then looked at Du Yue. “Sister, you guys should buy some food to stock up too, right?”

Du Yue nodded. “Yes, but since it’s just He Xing and me, we don’t need much.” Other than wheat bran and rice bran, Du Yue asked for 20 catties of each type of grain. In total, she spent 480 contribution points. Du Yue and He Xing put all their money in Du Yue’s identity card. She had more than 10,000 contribution points on her card now, and she only spent less than 500 this time. She did not feel bad at all.

They had bought so much food that it was enough for Du Yue and He Xing to eat for a while. At the very least, Yu Xinya did not have to worry about them going hungry during this period of time. Yu Xinya had bought a lot of food, so a lot of bags were needed. Each bag could hold 50 catties. After the staff scooped in the right quantity, they weighed the bags again in front of Yu Xinya. Du Yue and the others had brought their own cloth bags. The staff also weighed the bags in front of them.

If Du Yue and the others wanted to open the bags and take a look, they could do so. However, if there were any problems after they left, the grain store would not be responsible. Yu Xinya was usually more cautious in doing things. In addition, she had spent so many contribution points this time, so she definitely had to check the bags carefully. Du Yue could only follow the crowd and check her bags. After confirming that the food was fine, they moved the food into the car.

Even with the few of them and the staff of the grain store moving the bags together, it was still a busy job to move so many bags. After they were all loaded into the car, Du Yue sat in the passenger seat and let out a long sigh of relief. “We’ve finally done what we needed to do. Let’s go home!”

He Xing also smiled and said, “Now that the problem of our food stock has been solved, even if the sandstorm doesn’t stop for a while, we can stay at home in peace.”

Although the sandstorm had brought inconvenience to everyone’s lives, Du Yue still liked to stay at home with He Xing as long as there was food and shelter. On the way back, they encountered some other vehicles. The yellow sand outside was everywhere. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would want to go out. It was not easy for everyone. In this weather, no one would care about small bumps. As long as the car was not damaged, it would not be a big problem.

After shooting each other an understanding gaze, they went their separate ways.

Yu Xinya’s car was driving in front. When they arrived at the small courtyard, the driver got out of the car and slammed the iron door hard. The noise from the sandstorm was very loud, and the small doorbell that they had set up earlier was useless at this time. Only by using brute force to knock on the iron door could the doorkeeper hear the sound and come over to open the door for them.

Even so, the person who knocked on the door knocked for a few minutes until his hand was red. Only then did the person inside hear the noise and come out to open the door for them. After entering the small courtyard, Du Yue picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Yu Xinya, telling her about the internet connection. Yu Xinya was very surprised when she heard this news. The previous Sunshine Base occupied a small area and had few resources. She had not been online for a long time.

Now that she heard that she could connect to the internet, her first reaction was surprise, but then disappointment followed. “Forget it. I still have some money that I can use to connect to the internet, but the biggest problem now is that none of us have a mobile phone. Even if we connect to the internet, we’ll be spending money for nothing.”

Yu Xinya smiled helplessly on the other end of the walkie-talkie. “After the internet was cut off, everyone’s phones were idle. Later on, the internet never recovered. When we left, we felt that the phones took up space, so we didn’t bring them with us…”

.....

Hearing Yu Xinya’s words, Du Yue felt that it was a pity at first, but after thinking about it, she could understand. After all, in her previous life, she had also thrown her phone into a corner of the house after the power and internet cut. A phone that could not be used to make calls on the internet was not even suitable for smashing walnuts. In the next ten years, the small base that she was in never regained communication. Thus, she also forgot about her cell phone.
