Chapter 556: Ambush in the Dark

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Three days passed in a flash, and there were only two hours left of daytime. It was already past noon when the sky began to brighten. At this time, Du Yue and the other two were sitting together for lunch. As they ate, they saw the sky gradually brighten up. It felt like they were dreaming. Du Yue could not help but put down her chopsticks and sigh. “We don’t have many days of daylight left.”

It was estimated that the polar night would arrive in a few days.

Just as she finished sighing, Du Yue suddenly realized that the people who were blocking the courtyard had all disappeared. Du Yue was a little puzzled. They had persisted for so many days. Why did they suddenly give up? “When did those people leave?” Du Yue asked He Xing and Xia Ju.

He Xing and Xia Ju subconsciously looked out and found that the people who had been outside the courtyard were gone. “I don’t know. No wonder I didn’t see anyone when I went out to feed the chickens this morning. Could it be that they figured they couldn’t persuade us and left? That’s great. Then can we go for a ride?”

“You can go out and try.” He Xing raised his eyebrows slightly. “Do you believe that as soon as you show your face, those people will immediately rush out to block you?”

Xia Ju frowned. “You mean that they haven’t left at all but are hiding in the dark, waiting for us to let down our guard and walk out on our own?”

“That’s the most likely possibility. They’ve already been waiting for so long. There’s no reason for them to suddenly leave,” He Xing said. Du Yue could not help but sigh. “I really don’t understand what they’re thinking. If they have the time to waste with us, they might as well think about how to fill their stomachs and survive.”

He Xing curled his lips. “Aren’t they just trying to fill their stomachs?”

“You’re right.”

Since they had guessed that those people might be hiding in the dark, Du Yue and the other two naturally would not give them a chance.

They did not have anything to do outside, but they felt that it was a pity. Seeing that daylight was getting shorter and shorter, they did not know if they still had the chance to go out for a ride before the polar night arrived. He Xing’s guess was correct.

The group of people had not given up. They hid in the dark and waited to ambush Du Yue and the other two. However, they had been hiding in the dark for an entire day, but they did not see a single figure appear. They knew that their plan had been seen through by the people in the courtyard. In terms of patience, they were no match for Du Yue and the other two.

As they had to come forward to eat grass to fill their stomachs, Du Yue and the other two watched them walk out from the shadows and return to the grass to continue eating. They really admired them from the bottom of their hearts.

They had already found something to fill their stomachs. They could have brought more grass with them and continued on their way. Sooner or later, they would reach the next base. However, they did not want to do that. They insisted on staying here and wasting time with Du Yue and the others. However, if this continued, they would be the ones at a disadvantage in the end. The altitude of the grassland was much higher than that of the south. As daylight was getting shorter and shorter, the temperature was also dropping rapidly. When the polar night really came, it would be very cold outside.

The group of people outside did not bring much luggage and were dressed thinly. If they continued to persist, even if they did not starve to death, they would freeze to death outside.

Although Du Yue understood this, she did not plan to do anything. Those people outside had not gotten any benefits from them at all, yet they still refused to leave. If the three of them really gave the other party some things, those people would completely rely on them. Not only would they want to cling to them, but they would also want to figure out how to skin the three of them alive and take everything for themselves. Du Yue would never raise a tiger to invite trouble.

Du Yue retracted her gaze and planned to find a variety show to kill time. Suddenly, she heard Xia Ju shout excitedly, “Look, there’s another group of people!”

“Another group?” Du Yue picked up the binoculars again and went out to look.

Xia Ju said, “That’s right.”

There was indeed a new fleet of cars outside the courtyard. Someone got out of the leading car and was walking toward them. Du Yue pushed the door open and got out of the car. “Let’s go out and take a look.”

He Xing and Xia Ju followed. As soon as they walked out of the RV, they heard the people outside the courtyard complaining, saying that the three of them were cold-hearted and did not help. They asked the newcomers to support them..
