I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 310 Wan Dapeng Wants to Go Out and Pick Up Scraps

310 Wan Dapeng Wants to Go Out and Pick Up Sc.r.a.ps

Although the grocery store was just next door, Du Yue had never been in it. Occasionally, when she pa.s.sed by, she would take a few glances, so she knew that there were many kinds of things inside. Ten minutes later, Wan Dapeng came back, his face full of excitement. “Brother, Sister, I’ve thought of a way to make money.”

Du Yue looked over curiously. “What is it?”

“I just went to the shop next door to inquire. They buy all kinds of daily necessities, and the better the quality, the higher the price. Now that the crops in the small courtyard have all been planted, we have nothing to do. Why don’t I bring people out to pick up sc.r.a.ps and sell them?”

Du Yue could not help frowning. “Are you going to be a scavenger?”

Wan Dapeng nodded. “Yes! The owner of the grocery store told me that I can also set up a scavenger team by myself. The team will be called Suns.h.i.+ne Team. Do you think it is feasible?”

Du Yue frowned tightly. “I heard that there are a lot of scavengers and individual scavengers in the base. The water runs deep here. Besides, once you leave the base, you won’t be subjected to any restrictions. In case something happens…”

Looking at Du Yue’s worried face, Wan Dapeng did not care much. “Sister, think about it from another perspective. Even though we just farmed, opened a shop, and didn’t provoke anyone… Didn’t people still come to find trouble with us? This is how society works nowadays. Even if we don’t leave the house, we might not be able to live a stable life. I still want to earn more contribution points. That way, I won’t be afraid even if I encounter danger. I’ve heard people mention that there are schools in this base. I want to save more money for the children in the small courtyard to go to school.No matter how hard it is, we can’t let the children suffer. Don’t you think so?”

Du Yue had never heard of there being schools in the base. Wan Dapeng scratched his head and smiled. “This is what the boss of the grocery store next door told me. He said that there are not only schools in the base but also welfare inst.i.tutes. Those orphans are all brought into the welfare inst.i.tutes. The base feeds them and arranges for them to study. The third base is indeed better than the second base. The second base only has schools in the inner city, and not everyone can go there.”

Du Yue really did not know this. After all, she did not have a child and did not usually pay attention to these things. There were so many children in Suns.h.i.+ne Courtyard, so it was normal for Wan Dapeng to take this matter to heart. Du Yue thought for a while. “Brother Wan, did you ask how much the school fees are?”

Wan Dapeng nodded. “I’ve asked. The tuition fee is 100 contribution points per semester for each child. Textbooks also need to be bought. If you don’t want to buy them, you can copy them by hand.”

Hand-copy? Du Yue was a little shocked. This was too terrifying! She remembered that there were textbooks in the big cart of books she had kept long ago. However, she had not thought of a suitable time to take them out yet. Besides books, she also had a printer and paper in her s.p.a.ce. Perhaps she could print some textbooks.

Seeing that Du Yue was lost in thought for a long time, Wan Dapeng called out to her, “Sister, what are you thinking about?”

Wan Dapeng’s voice pulled Du Yue out of her thoughts. Looking at Wan Dapeng’s concerned face, Du Yue shook her head. “It’s nothing. I just remembered something.”

Even if she had these things, she could not give them to Wan Dapeng immediately. She had to find a suitable excuse.

How could it be such a coincidence that she had textbooks? However… what if she really brought them out? What if the children were really that lucky? One had to have hope for the future. Otherwise, in this cruel doomsday, there was really nothing to look forward to.

Listening to Wan Dapeng’s excited thoughts, Du Yue and He Xing looked at each other and tacitly said nothing. Wan Dapeng was already an adult. He had his own thoughts and considerations, and also his own difficulties. As outsiders, Du Yue and He Xing could not interfere too much, nor could they persuade him. It was because they knew how Wan Dapeng felt about those children.

“Brother Wan, if you’ve thought it through, then do it!” He Xing’s tone was gentle. “But when you’re outside, you must be very careful. The people who are outside the base aren’t restricted, and with the thick fog, danger is everywhere. You can’t lower your guard at all times.”
