Du Yue quickly composed herself and said to He Xing and Xia Ju, “Let’s go back. The sky won’t be bright again in the future. We have to take measures to keep warm as soon as possible!”

Animals were much more fragile than the three of them. If they accidentally fell sick, the three of them would have worked hard for nothing. After returning to the RV, Xia Ju suddenly thought of an idea. “How about we move all the chickens, cows, and horses to the basement? Anyway, there’s ventilation inside, so he won’t suffocate to death.”
Du Yue shook her head. “Forget it. They won’t suffocate to death but there’s a limit to the air circulation down there. If they poop and pee down there, how bad will the smell get?”
As soon as Du Yue finished speaking, Xia Ju curled her lips in disgust. “Ew, it’s disgusting just thinking about it.” It was better to think about how to keep them warm!
“Of course, other than keeping them warm, we can also choose not to continue raising them.”
However, the current situation was not that bad, and it was not to the point where they had to kill them. There were too many things in the space. Over the past few years, only a small portion had been consumed.
It had been too long, and there were many things that were not usually used. Du Yue had long forgotten about them. Fortunately, she did not need to use her physical strength to find things. She only needed to use her mind to find things, so she would not be tired. It was a little difficult, but fortunately, she found something useful in the end—insulation layers.
The insulation layers were usually used on the periphery of the house. They were of good quality and were good at keeping things warm. Du Yue did not remember buying them, but now it seemed like an unexpected surprise. Without the insulation layers, they would have had to spend a lot of effort to make insulation measures. There was the chicken coop, cow pen, stable, and sheep pen in the courtyard. It was a time-consuming matter to fix the insulation layers on all of them. Fortunately, the three of them did not have anything urgent to do at the moment. Other than eating and sleeping, the three of them spent the rest of the time fixing the insulation layers together. In the end, it only took them two days to finish the work.
While Du Yue and the other two were busy in the yard, Zou Bo was not idle either. He had already started to lead the others in the base to reclaim the wasteland and prepare to plant grass. Zou Bo knew about the cow and horse in Du Yue’s yard, but he did not come to borrow them. They had enough people working, so they did not need anything else. Not to mention the others, just the group of people who had been hanging around Du Yue’s courtyard were free labor. From the moment Zou Bo took them in, Du Yue had more or less guessed that Zou Bo did not take them in out of pure kindness. He must have other intentions. Now, the facts had proven that Du Yue’s guess was correct.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven before the apocalypse, when resources were not scarce, no one would be so kind as to take in dozens of people for no reason and provide them with food and drink.
Not to mention that every mouthful of food was hard to come by now. Du Yue could not help but chuckle when she saw those people working hard through the binoculars. It was good to work! Doing more work would save them the trouble of thinking about other things. Du Yue put down the binoculars after watching for a while. She saw that Xia Ju was watching something with great interest, and there was even a smile in the corner of her eyes.
“What are you watching?” Du Yue asked curiously. “Why are you so happy?”
“I’m watching a romance show. He runs, she chases, and he can’t escape even if he has wings.”
“What the hell?” Du Yue looked at Xia Ju speechlessly. Where would there be a TV show to watch in this desolate grassland?
Before Du Yue could speak, Xia Ju said, “Ever since that actress went there, she has been hanging around Zou Bo every day, throwing flirtatious glances at him and being considerate. Sometimes, she even deliberately makes some physical contact with him. The tricks she plays every day are different. Is this not considered a TV show?”
Hearing Xia Ju’s words, Du Yue swallowed the question that was already on the tip of her tongue. She had actually forgotten about that actress. According to Xia Ju, she was indeed watching a TV show, but she was watching it through binoculars and not on TV. Du Yue picked up the binoculars and looked out. After a while, she muttered, “She really doesn’t do anything but seduce Zou Bo. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the plot is quite melodramatic. If we record it and edit it well, maybe it can really be made into a show..”
