This group of people was mistaken. Du Yue and the other two had plenty of ways. Du Yue found a large speaker in her space. She plugged in a USB flash drive and pushed the speaker to the entrance of the courtyard. The group of people outside the courtyard were shocked when they saw Du Yue pushing a big black box out in the dark. They thought that Du Yue had found a bomb somewhere and wanted to kill them.
However, their worries were unnecessary. Du Yue did not open the door and walk out. Instead, she placed the speaker next to the fence. After turning on the speaker and turning the volume to the maximum, Du Yue turned around and returned to the RV. This time, after closing the doors and windows, the loud music in the courtyard could still be heard clearly.
Du Yue chose the simplest and crudest method—playing the square dance song on loop. Everyone outside the courtyard was familiar with this song. In the past, when they were in the park square, they had heard it so much that their ears were about to bleed. However, since the apocalypse, no one had the time to square dance anymore. They had not heard these songs for years. Now that they suddenly heard the familiar music, not only did they not feel disgusted, but they also felt that the atmosphere was very lively and friendly.
The group of people did not care about shouting at the door. They all stared at the speaker with tears in their eyes and sat quietly on the lawn to listen to the music.
Du Yue and the other two saw their actions clearly from the RV. Xia Ju asked with a puzzled expression, “Why are they crying?”
“Maybe they’re missing the peaceful and stable days!”
Although Xia Ju had watched a lot of TV shows, she did not know much about the square dance culture on the blue planet. After Du Yue’s explanation, she finally understood why those people were so excited. “If they’re all so immersed in their sadness now, they’ll stop be shouting outside the courtyard and disturbing our sleep, right?”
Du Yue actually could not figure it out. “Who knows? But it doesn’t matter.”
Even if the group of people outside continued to shout, the song was enough to drown out their voices. As for the three of them, they only needed to put on earplugs to sleep soundly in the RVs. Therefore, it did not matter whether those people would continue shouting.
After a night without dreams, Du Yue was woken up by the alarm clock the next morning. She took off her earplugs, washed up, and then walked out. As soon as she walked out of the RV, she saw that there were more people outside the courtyard than yesterday. Yesterday, there were only a few dozen people, but now, as far as the eye could see, the courtyard was filled with heads. It was impossible to count how many people there were.
Du Yue was a little surprised. Could it be that the man in black sent them here to continue causing trouble? Just as Du Yue was feeling puzzled, He Xing walked over from the kitchen with breakfast. “The people outside the courtyard are all here to listen to music. They’ve been here for a while. They haven’t caused any trouble or done anything. Don’t worry.”
The stone in Du Yue’s heart finally fell to the ground. As long as they did not continue shouting at the door, it would be fine. She was just about to open her mouth to speak when she heard Zuo Mingdong’s voice coming from outside the courtyard. Zuo Mingdong asked the people at the door to move to the side and not block the door. After the group of people had moved some distance away, he called He Xing to open the gate.
The gate was only slightly opened, and Zuo Mingdong squeezed in through the gap. His movements were swift and agile. Du Yue still remembered the first time she saw him. He was very strong and powerful, but after a few years, he had lost a lot of weight. Compared to how he was, he was a completely different person.
Zuo Mingdong had just walked in when he asked with slight doubt, “I’ve been busy with drilling the well these past few days, so I made time to come and see you. How did you attract so many people? This isn’t your style.”
Putting on the square dance song in their own courtyard had attracted hundreds and thousands of people to gather outside the courtyard to listen to it. No matter how he thought about it, Du Yue and the other two would not do such a thing that would put them in the limelight. Seeing Zuo Mingdong’s puzzled face, He Xing told him the ins and outs of the matter.
Zuo Mingdong immediately stopped smiling and became vigilant. “Why are you only telling me about such a big thing now? Do you know how dangerous it’ll be if they really dig a tunnel?”
This was the first time Zuo Mingdong had shown a stern look in front of them. He had always been easy-going and carefree. The two of them knew that he was worried about their safety, so they naturally would not be angry. Du Yue explained to him, “Don’t worry. Even if they die of exhaustion, the tunnel won’t work. We’ve already placed steel plates under the courtyard.. Don’t you know how we do things? If we weren’t 100% sure, how could we let them dig a hole in front of our house without stopping them?”
