Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse

Chapter 31 Flashing the Knife



Gu Pan couldn't help but admire Chen Shaonan's way of thinking. Truly someone who had been hurt, his mind was really clear.

Actually, if we talked about these people, the easiest to soften up was Feng Zhekai. However, he wasn't a pushover and had a sense of right and wrong. So as long as he was given more concepts on how to self-preserve in the apocalypse, he would clearly understand what should and should not be done.

Just like everyone mentioned earlier, he saw it clearly, and his lack of objections was proof that he accepted and recognized it, which was a good thing.

After all, Feng Zhekai was the only doctor they knew, an emergency doctor, so he had to be kept by their side to feel more secure.

Having been reborn, many things were different, so it was necessary to make everything more comprehensive.

Because Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng had previously searched through the city for places with supplies and knew where there was a possibility of finding supplies, the places they took people to were all quite good. Everyone had a good haul today.

On the way back, they even listened to Cheng Yang talk about his relationship history. His ex-girlfriend cheated on him with his good friend, so in this lifetime, unless he met someone he could trust to spend his life with, he planned not to marry.

The topic naturally came up, Feng Zhekai and his wife were DINKs; they had a particularly good relationship. Married for twenty years, they always enjoyed this world for two. His wife, Lu Xuerong, was a painter, free with her time, and every year they traveled to a country. They had been living happily all these years, but who could have expected the apocalypse.

Gu Pan listened to everyone speaking, not expecting that this temporary alliance team all had stories to tell, plus there were no elderly or children among them, which was a significant advantage.

Today, everyone understood each other more and gained a few more degrees of trust.

Previously, Gu Pan had been a little worried that Feng Zhekai might be soft-hearted, but after learning more, she found that they really valued privacy, so it was impossible for them to let strangers into their home. This also proved that they had unintentionally already blocked a lot of trouble.

And Chen Shaonan's family was not at all like the Holy Mother, which was also very reliable.

Although Cheng Yang was young, he had been through a lot and knew what to do, so his safety index was quite high.

Moreover, he was very good at maintaining relationships, and he stopped calling Gu Pan "sister-in-law" and started calling her "sister." He said he would call Lu Ruisheng "brother" and Gu Pan "sister," making both of them his family.

This assertion left Gu Pan amused and confused, but as for a title, he could call her whatever he liked.

Of course, Gu Pan was also clear that they hadn't yet seen the cruelty of people eating people in the apocalypse. After all, they had grown up in peacetime, and it wouldn't be until they faced life and death that they would quickly grasp this, without needing anyone to teach them. Reality would soon teach them.

Now they all went out to find supplies, and each person returned home carrying bags of various sizes, so the supplies they found didn't need to be hidden anymore; they could just bring the stuff back directly.

However, earlier, the three of them had stashed some outside but hadn't brought it back yet. There was quite a bit, and they were afraid it would draw attention, so they planned to wait until the 7th-floor night patrol to bring it in.

And Gu Pan, to ensure her family's supplies were enough and had a source, also said that she and Lu Ruisheng had hidden stuff, so they would bring it back together then.

Just before returning to the community, Gu Pan remembered something, stopped everyone, and found a secluded spot to say to them, "Shouldn't we have our own base? A wily rabbit has three burrows, and we can't put everything at home. During times like this, leaving a back road is the safest."

Everyone agreed with this suggestion. Chen Shaonan said, "Xiao Gu is right. If anything happens, we can't be without a retreat. Nowadays, people are fighting over stuff until they're red-eyed."

Feng Zhekai said, "I think so too. We have nothing to rely on, so we have to find a retreat for ourselves."

Cheng Yang immediately said, "I'll listen to the older brothers and sisters."

Lu Ruisheng looked at the mortuary of the tumor hospital three streets away and said to everyone, "I think that mortuary is good. No one dares to look for a place to stay or find supplies there. There are no windows, but there are doors. As long as the door is locked, it is safe, which makes it the most suitable."

Gu Pan had always agreed with Lu Ruisheng's thoughts and ideas, so she said, "Then shall we take a look?"

Lu Ruisheng calculated the distance, "I'll go with Cheng Yang to scout the situation. Our legs are fast. You guys go back to the community with the stuff and wait for our news."

These people didn't really fear the mortuary. When people were struggling to survive, some fears naturally faded.

Gu Pan first took Chen Shaonan and Feng Zhekai home with their stuff, while Lu Ruisheng and Cheng Yang went to the hospital's mortuary.

As soon as Gu Pan and the others entered the unit door, they were blocked by the grandparents from 501. The two kneeled on the ground, crying miserably.

The elderly lady cried melodically, "Please, help us two, the old and the young. We haven't eaten for a day, we're starving. You young folks have skills, you can find food. Just a little, just enough to keep us from starving to death."

The apocalypse had come, and everyone's food was their lifeline. Naturally, no one would give any away. Now, people were killing on the streets for a bite to eat, so the number of Holy Mothers had sharply decreased. They could probably kneel there all day and get nothing.

Gu Pan said to the elderly lady from 501, "We haven't found much either, nothing extra to share."

At this moment, what Gu Pan didn't expect was that the child from 501 suddenly hugged her leg, "Mom, from now on, I'm your son. Mom, give me a bite to eat."

Gu Pan's head filled with black lines, pulling the child off, "You can't just call anyone Mom. I haven't given birth to a child, definitely no son."

The child stared at the bag in Gu Pan's other hand, and like a monkey, he clung to it and started pulling, intent on grabbing a share regardless of what was inside.

At this moment, Chen Shaonan quickly grabbed the child's hat and pulled him back.

But the child's hands were even faster, starting to tear at the bag in Gu Pan's hand.

At home, his grandmother had taught him that no matter what others say, just grab it. Once it's grabbed, it's eaten, or run away. After all, no one would hit a child.

Chen Shaonan couldn't drag him away, but he also couldn't bear to lay hands on a kid. At this moment, he was anxious with no solution.

Seeing the child wouldn't let go, Gu Pan directly pulled a dagger from her waist and said to the child, "If you don't let go, I'll chop off your hand."

The child was so scared that he forgot to cry, letting go and shouting loudly, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I won't grab it, I won't grab it anymore."

Gu Pan didn't put away the dagger and said to the elderly lady from 501, "At this point, why still play games like this? It's the apocalypse, and people are eating people. I don't cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. Next time, if you dare target my stuff again, I won't be polite."

The elderly lady from 501 was scared speechless, mouth gaping. How could she have imagined that the very polite and quiet young woman she often saw had suddenly become as fierce as a demon?

Gu Pan didn't say much more. She said to Chen Shaonan and the others, "Let's go."

After speaking, the group went upstairs, leaving the terrified and trembling grandparents behind.
