80 A New Neighbor Moved In Downstairs
The wild boar and the hares were weighed separately, and the staff member calculated the contribution points by weight. One catty was equivalent to one contribution point, so the hares and wild boar added up to a total of 680 contribution points. The contribution points that were exchanged were split between the two of them, and 340 contribution points were added to their cards. In less than a day, the two of them had earned more than 300 contribution points, which was enough for Du Yue to pay three and a half months’ rent. It was indeed a sure-win business!
Walking out of the service hall with the card in hand, Du Yue was more interested in the rescue missions that He Xing had mentioned earlier. When they got into the truck again, He Xing sat in the driver’s seat. “I’ll send you home first, then I’ll return the snow-shoveling truck to the base.”
Du Yue was slightly taken aback. “How are you going to get home after returning the truck?” Was he going to walk home in the blizzard?
“The base will arrange for someone to drive me back.”
That was good. Since He Xing did not need to walk home, she did not have to worry.
He drove the snow-shoveling truck to their building, and the two of them got out of the truck together and moved the things in the truck to the seventh floor. After watching He Xing go downstairs, Du Yue quickly closed the door and returned to her house.
The first thing she did after returning to her bedroom was to quickly turn on all the heating equipment. Then, she used a metal hook to lift the lid on the furnace and saw that the charcoal fire was still burning. She estimated that if she had come back half an hour later, the fire in the furnace would have been extinguished. Du Yue did not dare to dawdle and quickly added some charcoal.
Du Yue put the lid back on and sat down near the heating equipment. Under the warm sun and the heater, Du Yue’s body, which had been numb from the cold, gradually recovered.
After warming up for a while, she thought that He Xing should be back soon. Du Yue began taking out hare meat from her interspace. She took out two boxes of roasted whole hare meat, spicy hare head, cold hare meat, and raw hare meat. These were all vacuum-packed, so they would not go bad easily and would not arouse suspicion. They were perfect to exchange bullets with He Xing.
Du Yue moved the boxes to the entrance and waited for He Xing’s return. Just as she was about to turn around and return to her bedroom, Du Yue heard some movement downstairs. Messy footsteps and noisy conversations all signaled that there were many people downstairs. There were two houses on the sixth floor. The mother and sons lived in one house, while the other house was occupied by a family of five.
That family was usually quiet and would not be so noisy. If it was not them, then who was it? Du Yue was still puzzled when she heard a girl’s happy voice. “This is great! We finally have our own house to live in!”
Upon hearing this, Du Yue realized that they must be the new residents who had moved downstairs. In other words, the base must have found the bodies of the mother and her two sons and had already disposed of them. It did not take long for the bodies to be found. Du Yue thought for a moment. It must be that the woman’s family had not paid rent for a long time. This was normal. It was very difficult to earn contribution points. Some people might not be able to pay a week’s rent even if they worked hard for a month. Therefore, there were many people who earned contribution points just to extend their rent for a day.
Du Yue was not worried about their bodies getting found by the base. They died in their house, and the cause of death was freezing to death. The result would be the same no matter who checked. That was why no one came to cause her trouble, and she did not care that there were new tenants downstairs.
Du Yue turned around and returned to her bedroom. She poured herself a glass of Coke and took a small sip. Just as she finished the Coke, He Xing knocked on the door.
Du Yue quickly walked over to open the door for him. She saw the man standing at the door, his body cold and his clothes and hat stained with snow. The temperature in the corridor was not much higher than the temperature outside, so even though He Xing had walked from the first floor to the seventh floor, the snow on his body remained the same, showing no signs of melting.
Du Yue could not help but frown. “Why are you covered in snow? Go home and check if there’s still a fire in the furnace. If it’s not out, add more charcoal in. If it’s out, I’ll give you some burning charcoal from my furnace.”
“Okay.” He Xing nodded with a smile in his eyes. After saying that, he turned around and walked back to his house. Du Yue did not follow him. Instead, she stood in place and waited quietly. She never liked people going to her house without telling her, so she naturally would not enter other people’s territory.
Not long after, He Xing walked out quickly. “Fortunately, we came back in time. The charcoal fire is still burning. I’ve added some more charcoal. I think the house will be warm soon.”
