I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse

278 This Is a Life-Saving Grace

Wan Dapeng heaved a sigh of relief as he watched these people leave dejectedly, their figures completely disappearing into the thick fog. Although his attitude just now was very unyielding, he was actually very nervous. The other party had twice as many people as them. If they really fought, they would definitely be the ones at a disadvantage. Wan Dapeng asked the others to get into their cars. They would stay in their cars for the night and get up tomorrow to rush to the base.

After the others had left, Wan Dapeng walked to Du Yue and He Xing. “You should also hurry back to your car to rest. Be careful at night and don’t go out. Although these people have been intimidated for the time being, who knows if they’ll come back for a sneak attack later? You must be careful.”

Listening to Wan Dapeng’s sincere and earnest advice, Du Yue only felt warmth in her heart. “Thank you. You guys be careful too.” Du Yue suddenly thought of something. “By the way, where’s your chief?” They had been traveling together for three days, but they had not seen Yu Xinya. Du Yue had been holding back from asking, but now that she saw that everything was resolved by Wan Dapeng, she decided to ask.

Wan Dapeng sighed, “The chief of the base is sick and can’t move. She’s been staying in the car.”

“Sick? What kind of disease is it?”

“Inflammation may eventually kill a person. At first, she caught a cold, but then she suddenly developed a fever and started coughing non-stop.

“We’ve given her all the medicine we have, but she’s still not getting better. There are 24 hours in a day, and she sleeps for nearly 20 hours. She rarely wakes up…” Wan Dapeng, who had been carefree, choked with sobs. “It’s just a small illness. If it were in the past, we could just go to the pharmacy to buy some anti-inflammatory medicine and fever medicine, but now, this small illness is really going to force people to their deaths…” Wan Dapeng’s eyes were wet, and he sighed deeply. “There’s no other way. She can only rely on her own immunity. It’ll be best if she can make it, but if she can’t…”

“Big Brother Wan!” Du Yue interrupted him. “Wait for me here.” After Du Yue finished speaking, she turned around and entered the car. She pretended to be rummaging through the trunk, but she was actually taking out some medicine from her interspace. A bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine, a bottle of fever medicine, and a bottle of licorice pills for cough.

Du Yue took the three bottles of medicine and walked to Wan Dapeng. “We still have some medicine. Take them to the base’s chief and give them a try. Although I don’t know if they’ll be useful, they’re better than nothing.” Looking at the medicine Du Yue handed over, Wan Dapeng was first stunned, then he looked around very vigilantly.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Wan Dapeng took two steps closer and whispered, “Hurry up and keep the medicine. At this time, these things are super rare. They can save lives at a critical moment, so don’t let them be snatched away.” Du Yue handed him the medicine bottles. “I want to save her life.”

Although they did not see Yu Xinya’s current state with their own eyes, they knew that she was in a very dangerous state after hearing Wan Dapeng’s description. If her fever did not go down, it could really kill her. Wan Dapeng looked at Du Yue. After seeing the determination and persistence in her eyes, he finally put the medicine into his pocket.

“I, Wan Dapeng, will never forget this act of kindness! As long as I’m alive, I’ll definitely protect you no matter what danger you’re in!” Wan Dapeng gave Du Yue a deep bow.

Du Yue looked at his serious expression and nodded solemnly as well. “Alright!”

Even though life was so difficult now, Yu Xinya still led the others to work hard together and took good care of the elderly and children in the base. What she had done was something that even Du Yue herself could not do. Although Du Yue also worked hard to live, she only did it for herself. However, Yu Xinya was doing this for the hundreds of people in the base. Du Yue knew very well that she could not be like her, so she admired her even more. That was why she thought that if it was within her power, she would help her more.
