The Weak Teenager

Du Yue handed her a folder filled with all sorts of documents that she had prepared earlier. The staff took the folder and walked to the side to pass it to another staff member who was standing by the road.

In less than five minutes, the girl returned with Du Yue’s identification. “Everyone has to pay 12 kilograms of food to enter the base.”

Du Yue was not surprised at all when she heard this request.

In her previous life, she had to pay all kinds of entrance fees when she went to various small bases with others, not to mention the first base in the country which was in front of her right now.

Du Yue opened the back door and took out two vacuum-packed bags of red beans from the mountaineering bag in the back seat. One bag weighed six kilograms, so the two bags weighed exactly 12 kilograms.

After handing them to the staff, the staff gave her a pass and a booklet. “Go straight for one kilometer and turn right to the parking lot.”

Du Yue took the booklet and pass and continued driving. Sure enough, she saw a huge parking lot after turning right. The parking lot was not open-air. There was roofing above. Du Yue looked in from the entrance and roughly estimated that there should be more than 10,000 cars parked inside, but they only took up a quarter of the parking lot.

The parking lot was full of searchlights, probably all solar-powered ones. At this time, every light was on, and the light attracted groups of flying insects and mosquitoes. From a distance, they appeared to be a dark mass. They were disgusting to look at.

Du Yue parked the car in the parking lot and turned off the engine. She picked up the booklet from the front passenger seat that the staff member had handed her earlier and started to read through it.

There were only five or six thin pages in the booklet, and there was very little content on it. There was a simple map of the base, but the map only marked the important locations and the rough outline of the base.

In addition to the map, there were also some rules and regulations written. Du Yue read through the booklet and memorized the basic contents. Then, she took out her mountaineering bags from the back seat. She carried one on her back and got out of the car with the other.

Du Yue had left home at around nine in the evening, and it was already two in the morning. In another two hours, the sky would be bright, and the sun would be fully out at around six o’clock.

Du Yue wanted to find a place to stay before the sun came out.

As soon as she walked out of the parking lot and even before she could find her way, she saw a man suddenly rushing in her direction from a corner.

She could not see the person’s face clearly and subconsciously wanted to pull out the dagger. Before her dagger could touch the man, she heard him shout from two to three meters away, “Where are you going? I can take you there!”

Du Yue was speechless.

Looking in the direction of the voice, the person was getting closer and closer. When he was right in front of Du Yue, she could tell that he was still an underaged kid, probably only 14 or 15 years old.

The short-sleeved shirt he was wearing was tattered, and his shorts were a little too big. They hung loosely at his waist, and he had tied shoelaces around his waist to serve as a belt.

He had a slender figure, but he did not have much meat on his body. It would not be an exaggeration to say that his entire body was skin and bones. Du Yue’s heart trembled when she saw him.

The young man’s tone became more anxious, probably because Du Yue did not respond. “Miss, please use me as your guide. I’m really cheap, and I’m very familiar with this place.”

Du Yue looked at him, deep in thought. “Oh? How cheap are you?”

“Just give me a bag of instant noodles! Or a steamed bun will do. No matter what, as long as it can fill my stomach, I’ll accept it!”

“It’ll get hot when the sun comes out. Why aren’t you asking me for water instead?”

The young man scratched his head. “There’s water here.”

Although Du Yue had expected this answer, she was still a little happy.

Qinghe Summer Resort was situated beside a mountain and a river. There were countless small streams and rivers, so naturally, they had sufficient water.

Now that they were in the hottest months of the year, it was great to have sufficient water. This way, Du Yue did not have to worry about attracting attention when she used water again.

“You’re familiar with this place?”

“Yes, yes! I know every single place here! I’m telling the truth!”

“That’s good.” Du Yue asked him, “Do you know where to rent a house in the base?”

“There’s a house rental center in the base. Miss, if you want to rent a house, you can go there!”

“How far is it from here? Can we get there if we drive?”

“Yes, I can bring you there.”

Du Yue nodded thoughtfully when she heard his answer. She then turned around and got into the car. She saw the young man still standing there in a daze from the corner of her eye and could not help but urge him, “Hurry up and get in the car.”
