Chapter 503 - 503: No Manners at All



Zuo Mingdong smiled gently. “You’re not the only one who’s shocked. Those who spent a lot of money to rent a house before this all protested after hearing the news. They asked the base to refund them the difference in the previous rent, but how is that possible? Life has been getting worse in the past few years, and many people have moved out of the base. Now that crops can’t be planted and the bug disaster is rampant, the base has no choice but to lower the rent. Things are different now. What does this have to do with the rent in the past?”

Du Yue held back her laughter and looked at Zuo Mingdong. “Captain Zuo, are you afraid that we will ask you for the price difference?”

Zuo Mingdong did not feel embarrassed at all after being seen through. Instead, he laughed out loud. “It’s a joke. Ever since you left, my days have been chaotic. I have endless things to do every day. Chances to sit quietly and joke around like this are too rare.”

Du Yue and the other two understood him. The more capable a person was, the more responsibility they would naturally have. The higher the position, the more things they had to worry about. Zuo Mingdong was in such a situation now.

After telling them about the situation in the first base, Zuo Mingdong asked curiously, “When you left, weren’t you going to the second base? Why did he go to the fourth base?”

He Xing sighed helplessly. “It’s a long story. We did go to the second base, but not long after we arrived, we were hit by a tsunami. The second base was flooded. Fortunately, Du Yue and 1 hid in a tall building and escaped the disaster. After that, all the survivors in the second base moved away, and we followed them to the third base. Then, we went to the fourth base by accident. “This time, the leader of the fourth base wanted to come here to exchange for the Snowy Cold Fruit, so we came back with these people.”

Speaking of this, He Xing also thought of serious matters. “How did you guys discuss the Snowy Cold Fruit? How many Snowy Cold Fruits are left in the base?”

Regarding this matter, Zuo Mingdong felt lucky. “Thankfully, the entire base planted the Snowy Cold Fruit together. Later on, in order to store them for a longer time, the base dug a very deep ice cellar and stored the Snowy Cold Fruit there. Although some of them have been consumed in the past two years, that’s only a very small portion. There’s still a lot of Snowy Cold Fruit left. As for how the exchange will be made, it has yet to be decided. It’ll have to be decided after the leaders of the base hold a meeting.”

This answer did not surprise the three of them. For such a big matter, it was indeed necessary to study it carefully before making a decision. After all, it was still difficult to negotiate a mutually beneficial solution for both sides.

Zuo Mingdong then looked at Xia Ju. “Captain Sun said that you were the one who extracted the medicine from the Snowy Cold Fruit. You’re very capable.”

The corners of Xia Ju’s mouth curled up slowly. She accepted the praise. “Thank you. I do have some skills.”

Before Zuo Mingdong could react, Xia Ju continued, “After getting to know each other, you’ll realize that I’m powerful in many ways!”

Zuo Mingdong laughed heartily. “Then I’ll have to wait and see!”

At this point, Zuo Mingdong raised his hand to look at the time. “It’s getting late. 1’11 be leaving first. You must be exhausted from the journey. Rest early. I’ll come and see you when I’m free.”

Du Yue subconsciously looked at the time and realized that it was already past nine o’clock. She did not expect the four of them to chat happily together for such a long time. Zuo Mingdong had ridden an electric bike to the courtyard. He hopped on the bike and disappeared from the three people’s sight.

Du Yue and the other two stood at the door and watched him leave. Only when they could no longer hear the sound of the electric bike did they turn around and return to the house.

Just as they were about to turn around, Du Yue’s expression suddenly turned cold as she looked to the side. Footsteps that were neither light nor heavy could be heard! Just as Du Yue looked over, she saw an aunt walking out from the fog. The aunt asked in a very familiar manner, “You guys are good friends with Captain Zuo? Did you just move here today?”

Du Yue sized her up and realized that she was not a familiar face. She must have moved in after they left. Du Yue frowned slightly. “Why are you asking this?”

“I saw that you guys just moved in, so 1 wanted to say hello. Little girl, why don’t you have any manners…”

The aunt was still chattering, and Du Yue could not be bothered to listen anymore. “Now that you’ve greeted me, don’t block our door if there’s nothing else..”
