Zou Bo shook his head. “No, no! We might not have that much to trade with you, so 1 want to exchange for a hundred catties worth.”

However, Du Yue did not want much from Zou Bo. The few questions that Zou Bo had answered were more important to Du Yue than supplies. In the post-apocalyptic world where there was no communication network, information was the most difficult thing to obtain. Therefore, she and Zou Bo were each taking what they needed.

He Xing returned to the RV and soon came out with a sack of seeds. He walked to the door and opened the iron gate. After exchanging the things, he closed the gate again.

“In addition to the grass seeds, there are also nutrient solutions and planting methods in this sack. The amount of nutrient solution needed is written there. You can just add some water to it when you go back.”

Zou Bo nodded heavily after Du Yue finished giving her instructions. “Okay, I understand. Thank you!”

Zou Bo put the seeds in the car and drove away. Du Yue and the other two did not stay at the door for long. Zou Bo had given them a wide variety of things, including food and drinks. Du Yue checked them to make sure there were no problems before putting them into her space. Although they had no use for these things at the moment, they might come in handy in the future. Du Yue put away the things and turned to look at He Xing and Xia Ju. “Who do you think put up the banner?”

Xia Ju shook her head. “1 don’t know. 1 don’t know many people on the blue planet.”

That was true. He Xing thought for a moment before saying, “I don’t know who it is, but I’m sure it’s not someone from the first base. If it was someone from the first base, they would have prepared to move ahead of time. They wouldn’t have waited until the Eternal Night was about to arrive before they started moving.”

Xia Ju had a different opinion. “Not necessarily. Before you left, didn’t you hint to Zuo Mingdong that the Eternal Night was about to descend? Perhaps he didn’t believe it at first, but when he saw that daylight was getting shorter and shorter, he had no choice but to believe it. After discussing with the people in the base, he sent a helicopter to spread the news to everyone and then moved north with the people in the base.”

Du Yue nodded. “It’s not impossible.”

However, what He Xing and Xia Ju said was all speculation. They could not be sure what the truth was. They could only wait and see if the first base would pass by. If they could meet Zuo Mingdong, the questions in their hearts should be answered.

Xia Ju looked a little worried. “If the first base comes here, will the other bases move here too? By then, will the grassland be able to accommodate more than 20 bases? How will they solve the problem of food and drink? Now that the sky is getting darker and darker, can they still breed and plant? Are they planning to build an underground city on the grassland?”

Du Yue did not speak for a long time. Just listening to Xia Ju’s words, she had already imagined that scene in her mind. If the helicopter really told everyone that the Eternal Night was coming and that everyone should head south, then Xia Ju’s worries would probably come true very soon.

Two more days passed. Often, the sky would gradually darken before it was completely bright. Even so, Du Yue and the other two were still sitting in the courtyard greedily, staring at the light in a daze. “Will we still be able to see the light tomorrow?” Xia Ju muttered.

Du Yue and He Xing did not answer her question because they did not know if the sky would brighten tomorrow. The next morning, the three of them did nothing serious. The closer it was to noon, the more upset they became. Finally, around one o’clock, a faint light appeared in the pitch-black sky. However, the light was fleeting. Du Yue felt complicated as she watched the sky turn dark again.

Even though she was mentally prepared, her heart still sank when the Eternal Night came. However, Du Yue and the other two were very accepting. It did not take long for them to accept that the Eternal Night had really come.

However, the others were not doing so well. There was no light for 24 hours a day, and the passage of time was gradually blurred. Endless darkness and panic engulfed everyone on the grassland, making them feel that there was no hope left in life. Even though Happiness Base was still some distance away from them, Du Yue could still vaguely hear the sound of painful sobs. The atmosphere was already very depressing. Hearing these cries, her heart inevitably became heavier..
