Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse

At that moment, the seabed hosted even more exaggerated creatures: sharks with six or seven heads, octopuses with over twenty tentacles, turtles with heads on both sides, and fish with four eyes. In short, everything was bizarre and strange. Gu Pan comforted herself while simultaneously feeling scared and continuing with her mission.

After entering the Space, they took out the anesthetic gun they had prepared earlier and then opened the Space slightly, shooting directly at the shark.

It wasn't the best choice, because if it failed, the shark would become even more dangerous in its frenzy, but they had no other option now except to speed up and try to complete the mission and get out as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, Lu Ruisheng was very skilled with his gun, and he shot the shark in the neck area. It quickly passed out.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng hurried into the warehouse, secured the Flame Box with an iron chain, and swiftly returned to the surface to signal Zheng Zhan and the others.

Zheng Zhan and his team were already prepared; they immediately began hauling in the chains and quickly retrieved eight boxes. However, the penultimate box got stuck. Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng had no choice but to dive down again to check the situation, and by this time, the shark had woken up and was swimming towards them.

On the cruise ship, everyone dared not watch the scene unfold. Many people closed their eyes, yet they saw Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng disappear as they entered the water.

Zheng Zhan looked into the water: "No, there's no blood, could it have swallowed them? No, it's not possible for both of them to be swallowed in one gulp; they must still be alive."

Zheng Zhan's words rekindled hope among those on the cruise ship.

In the cockpit, Guo Gang said to everyone, "You can surely pilot the cruise ship back; I'll go and check on them. If something happens to me, please take good care of Meng Meng."

Cheng Yang also stood up, "I'm going as well. Brother and sister saved my life; I can't just watch them be in trouble."

Feng Zhekai and Chen Shaonan also stood up, declaring that as men, they must do something for them.

Just then, a cheer came from outside. Through the windows, they saw Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng surfacing again, with the shark nowhere to be seen.

Of course, no one would have thought that the shark was in Gu Pan's Space. Gu Pan herself hadn't thought of this method before; she had always been thinking about how to avoid it. People sometimes get trapped in conventional thinking and easily forget about better methods.

Why not just store the shark in the Space for now and stealthily release it back into the sea at night when no one's around?

Seeing them unharmed, everyone in the cockpit ran out and hugged Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, cheering and shouting.

Meanwhile, Zheng Zhan had also managed to retrieve the last two Flame Boxes.

Another victorious return, and the people at the base welcomed them even more warmly.

The Ninth Squad had made a name for themselves at Mount Everest Base.

Soon, the library and the technology museum celebrated their openings, and Gu Pan and her team had jobs, although not highly paid, their dual identities earned them respect at the base.

Over the next year, no extreme weather events occurred, and the facilities at Mount Everest Base continued to improve. Thanks to the data stored in the Flame Boxes, a variety of biological species and new species were cultivated in the limited areas of Mount Everest.

Mutated fish from the sea were processed and made edible, and many mutated plants were also processed and made fit for consumption, enriching the resources and food at the base.

Three years later, the water levels began to recede, and everyone watching the mountains emerge were moved to tears. Many had thought they would never see land again, and yet in their lifetime, they were witnessing it anew.

Three months after the water receded, no further disasters occurred, and the base began moving some of its operations downhill.

Another year passed, and the weather completely stabilized. The soil, air, and moisture returned to their pre-apocalyptic values, and everyone knew that the apocalypse had ended.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng stood on the mountainside, watching their teammates farm the fields. The sprouting seedlings represented new hope. Together, they had survived the apocalypse in this lifetime.
