Even from a distance, Du Yue could still see the volcano erupting. The scorching lava spewed out and shot into the sky. The huge cloud created by the volcanic ash gradually dispersed. After a volcanic eruption, not only would lava spurt out, but volcanic ash would also wander everywhere. After the high temperature collided with the atmosphere, it would produce rain. However, this rain was different from ordinary rain. This rain was extremely corrosive. Whatever it touched would be destroyed. In the places that were drenched by heavy rain and volcanic ash, the soil could no longer support any crops. If people were unlucky enough to inhale volcanic ash, it would also cause irreversible harm to the human body.

The fourth base was not that good, but at least they had better living conditions. No one would have thought that a volcanic eruption would completely destroy everything after they had just lived a few good days. The staff who came to deliver the water today wore masks on their faces. When they were distributing the water, their eyes were lowered and they did not say a word. No one knew when the volcanic eruption would end, and no one knew if they would have the chance to return to the surface in the future. Even so, everyone wanted to live.
As long as they lived, there would be a day when they would see the sun. Just as Du Yue was about to turn around and return to the room, she was stopped by someone. Du Yue immediately recognized the familiar voice. It was the old woman who had asked He Xing for their tent yesterday.
The woman’s face was filled with bitterness, and she even deliberately squeezed out two drops of tears. “Little girl, look at the volcano erupting outside. I don’t know when these days will end. We’ve lived for so many years. I don’t know if we can survive until the end of the apocalypse. But the children are still young! They still have a long way to go in the future. They have the best hope of surviving until the end of the natural disaster and rebuilding a new home for all of us, don’t you think so? So look, can you give half of your water to my grandson to drink? It’s fine if we adults suffer a little, but we can’t let the children suffer, right?”
Du Yue was so angry that she laughed after hearing her words. How shameless was this person to actually say such things? Du Yue refused without hesitation. “No, you might die soon, but I can still live for a long time. Why don’t you give me your share of the water and I’ll rebuild your home for your grandchildren? This way, you’ll also be doing something for your descendants. What do you think?”
Du Yue was not trying to anger the woman on purpose. She was just telling the truth. Even her grandchildren might not be able to live longer than Du Yue, let alone the old lady who was almost 70 years old. Du Yue was just telling the truth, but to the woman, it was not the case.
The woman was stunned at first, but she quickly reacted. She pointed at Du Yue angrily and reprimanded, “You’re so vicious! You actually cursed an old woman like me to die!”
Du Yue sneered. “You said it yourself that you won’t be able to survive until the natural disaster ends.”

Du Yue’s eyes darkened. “Then what did you mean? Do you think that because I’m a defenseless little girl, you can cry and make a fuss to guilt trip me?” Du Yue did not hesitate to expose the old woman’s trick.
The old woman was embarrassed when she heard it, and her gaze avoided Du Yue. Obviously, that was what she thought. Du Yue was right.
“You think you can bully a few pushovers? What a joke. Why don’t you guess how 1 survived until now?”
Du Yue said coldly. She did not care about the old woman’s reaction. She turned around and returned to the room. She closed the door and isolated the stunned woman.
The old woman, who had been rebuffed, looked at the tightly shut door and finally came back to her senses. Her mind gradually sobered up. That was right! It was no longer the beginning of the apocalypse. Back then, most people were still willing to do good deeds, especially the younger people. That was why they could not withstand her pleas. As long as she wiped her tears, they would be kind enough to give her their supplies..
