Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse

Gu Pan and the others donned their gear and picked up the firearms to check the models, and although their previously used guns weren't very professional, they had spent years learning about them. When Gu Pan had them learn to fly planes and steer cruise ships, she had also provided them with a lot of information about firearms. Even if they hadn't seen the actual items before, they had a complete understanding and could handle them with ease, and were even able to describe the guns' performances.

Although Zheng Zhan knew these people were extraordinary, having been designated by the Base Commander, he hadn't expected these ordinary, unprofessionally trained people to be so knowledgeable about combat and weaponry.

And to think they could fly planes and navigate cruise ships! Sometimes he even doubted whether his soldiers, who trained every day, were really training the right things. They seemed no match for these amateurs.

It was one thing for Lu Ruisheng and Guo Gang, who were ex-soldiers, but Lu Xuerong was an artist, Chen Shaonan was a physics teacher, and Cheng Yang had just graduated from college with a degree in computer science. What exactly had they been through to possess all these skills?

Of course, he paid more attention to Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, because everyone listened to those two, especially Gu Pan. She was beautiful and looked gentle but carried an air of authority that was characteristic of those in power.

Gu Pan and the rest quickly got familiar with the weapons and even got the hang of the army's codes and signals.

At eight in the evening, they were arranged to stay in the military dormitory. Since they were there for just a few days, there was no need to separate by gender, and two dormitories were sufficient.

After washing up, they didn't go to bed immediately, but gathered in one room to talk.

Cheng Yang was still angry about Yu Tianfeng today, "Does that Yu Tianfeng have something wrong with his brain? Isn't he afraid his actions will implicate his uncle? Or does he think he can really bring us down?"

Gu Pan was also puzzled, "The guy is malicious, thinking we want to take his position or that my dad wants to oust his uncle to suppress their family. He's thinking too much. If he hadn't mentioned it, who would have known he had any relation to Secretary Yu?"

Lu Ruisheng said, "We don't have so many ulterior motives, so we find them complicated, but these people are inherently complex. I guess even before the apocalypse, they cared a lot about their family's standing and status."

Suddenly, Cheng Yang asked, "Do you think Yu Tianfeng will still take part in the operation? How long can he be kept in solitary confinement?"

Gu Pan shook her head, "I'm not sure, but I think he probably won't be able to go on this operation. The current situation is tense, and the higher-ups will want to eliminate any instability unless Secretary Yu intervenes, but that could easily provoke public outrage."

"It doesn't matter. We just need to focus on ourselves. After all, we are here based on ability, so we have nothing to fear." Lu Ruisheng was indeed not worried.

Guo Gang also said, "The righteous need not fear the crooked shadows."

They didn't talk for too long as they were in someone else's territory and walls have ears. After a short discussion, they organized to rest.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng slept in bunk beds, Lu Ruisheng on the bottom and Gu Pan on top. Even though they weren't talking, they felt very secure this way.

The next day when the military bugle rang, they all got up and joined the morning exercises. Although they weren't sure about the next plans from above, they had to get in sync with the team since they were participating in the operation.

Their physical fitness was excellent, including the women, and their training had never ceased. So the morning workout was easy for them. After all, individuals training for their own survival tend to be even more ruthless than the collective training of the military.

Those who had previously looked down on the two women, Gu Pan and Lu Xuerong, had no such thoughts anymore. The women were every bit as good as the men, even surpassing some in combat. They didn't need to spar with them directly to see that.

One morning workout changed everyone's views on them.

After breakfast, they had some free time, although they didn't see Zheng Zhan. Of course, they all knew he was busy. Reconnaissance Soldier matters were military secrets and couldn't be disclosed, so it was normal for him to meet with the higher-ups.

After lunch and a nap, Yu Shengyao came to their dormitory building to see Yu Tianfeng.

Gu Pan and the others didn't need to say it out loud to know that Yu Shengyao was here to save his nephew from solitary confinement.

Honestly, seeing Yu Shengyao again made Gu Pan think how similar he was to Yu Tianfeng. Not only did they look alike, their demeanor was similar too; if someone said they were father and son, no one would doubt it.

Could it really be?

Lu Ruisheng knew his wife was coming up with all sorts of theories just by looking at her face, and tapped her on the head, "What are you thinking about?"

Gu Pan quickly shook her head, "Nothing, nothing." Her messy thoughts were definitely not something she could voice out loud.

After all, many families who cared about their lineage placed great importance on male descendants. They valued their ancestry, and in a post-apocalyptic world where not many survived, each family didn't have many left, so elders cherished their younger relatives. For instance, Qin Qianqian's mother, Wang Lijuan, treated her nephew, Chen Fengzhou, very kindly.

Thinking that these two were now lost in the vast ocean made her heart uncomfortable. After all, apart from those who reached Mount Everest, everyone else is lying at the bottom of the sea.

Millennia later, when humans discover a plethora of human fossils on the ocean floor, how will they analyze the disasters that occurred during this era?

Lu Ruisheng held her hand firmly. Whatever she was thinking, they were always going to be together.

When Yu Shengyao passed by their dormitory, his gaze towards them was piercing.

Gu Pan and the others weren't scared and met his gaze. Truthfully, they really despised the uncle and nephew; they were too superficial.

Considering Yu Shengyao's age, he had probably participated in wars and had his achievements, which is why he held his position. But a high position didn't necessarily mean the person was good.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shengyao stopped in front of their dormitory and looked at Lu Ruisheng, asking, "The son of Lu Jianguo, Lu Ruisheng?"

Lu Ruisheng responded, "I am Lu Ruisheng," not adding any unnecessary words.

Yu Shengyao continued, "I always thought Old Lu wasn't very ambitious, but it seems I was wrong. Now his son also seems quite ambitious."

Lu Ruisheng really wanted to laugh. You think everyone is like you, but he didn't argue with Yu Shengyao because the other man was Secretary Yu, and without any official position himself, arguing put him at risk of making a mistake.

With so many onlookers, one slip of the tongue could be blown out of proportion, potentially implicating his father and Second Uncle.

So, he simply replied with two words, "Not so."

Yu Shengyao's expression twisted slightly. What kind of response was that? He said again, "Young man, reign in your ambitions. Don't take shortcuts."

Lu Ruisheng still smiled and said, "No ambitions," and didn't care to speak another word to him, but responded politely to every remark.
