Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 351: Get Out Quickly

Gu Ci thought of eating maggots and couldn’t help but retch, then drank half a glass of water before he could stop the uncomfortable feeling. "Are you serious?"

Gu Pan nodded. "Of course, think about it, the reproduction rate of maggots is fast, they’re safe, and they can ensure the nutrition the human body needs."

Gu Ci’s brows furrowed. "It does make sense when you talk about it, but is it easy?"

Lu Ruisheng said, "Let’s let the people at the base do the research on this. They have professional teams over there. When the time comes, you can directly learn from their experience."

Gu Ci’s face turned slightly pale. He still found the idea disgusting, and because he was a bit obsessive about cleanliness, even though the apocalypse had come, his life was still quite bearable. But the thought of maggots made him uncomfortable.

Seeing him like this, Gu Pan didn’t continue on this topic. "We’ll tell you the results when we get back to the base. By the way, we’ve come this time for another matter as well—I have some medicines and would like to exchange them for gold."

She wasn’t lying or saying it was for someone else. When dealing with Gu Ci, they wanted to be sincere, but the source of the medicines could not be disclosed.

Hearing there were more medicines, Gu Ci was naturally happy. "The price of the medicines you gave before was much higher than what we agreed upon. I’ll give you a higher price this time."

Gu Pan did not object. "No need, the extra money you made is due to your own ability, consider it a revenue for Entertainment City. I’ll just go with the market price."

After she finished speaking, she took out a box, which contained twice the amount of medicine from last time, plus a box of birth control products, a ginseng root, and two boxes of deer antler.

Then she continued, "The extra is for you, to give as gifts or for networking. We don’t understand the local customs here, so we can only offer these things."

Gu Ci didn’t decline. "Then I’ll accept them."

Gu Pan said, "If you need anything, just tell us." After that, she gave Gu Ci a bottle of vitamins and a bottle of calcium tablets, and a can of milk powder. "You and Brother Dasheng split these. We didn’t bring much with us this time, we will still rely on you guys here."

Gu Ci laughed. "You might bring little, but you contribute a lot. Don’t worry, Brother Dasheng and I have got it covered here."

He knew everyone’s roles well and was aware of the abilities of Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng—their access to resources, their intelligence, and their backgrounds were all very beneficial for the future of Entertainment City. If they ever decided to move with the base, they would play a significant role.

Lu Ruisheng suddenly remembered something he had forgotten to mention. "By the way, Brother Gu, there’s another thing. You guys should start preparing to get boats in advance. If one day the sea level rises, or there’s a flood due to heavy rain, having boats will be important. It’s not certain if they’ll be needed, but it’s always better to be safe."

Now, he and Gu Pan no longer called him President Gu but Brother Gu.

This was something he and Gu Pan had discussed. Having boats might not always be necessary, but it was essential to prepare and remind Gu Ci in advance.

Gu Ci was also quite troubled by this. "The hardest thing to come by now is boats. They’ve all corroded due to the acid rain, and since we’re far from the coast, it isn’t easy to get yachts."

Gu Pan thought for a moment. "I’ll keep an eye out for this too."

She felt that she and Lu Ruisheng could make another trip to Binhai City to gather more sea salt and yachts. They only had two yachts in their Space, enough for their needs, but having more is always better.

They had also gathered some sea salt before, but now that they could expand their Space, they would get more. Once Mount Everest was rebuilt, these would all be crucial.

Gu Ci had no doubt about their words. She knew that when these two said something, it was almost certainly true. "Okay, if you need any supplies, just let me know in advance."

Gu Pan agreed, "Alright, then I’ll give you these medicines, and we’ll take the gold back with us today."

Without hesitation, Gu Ci called Chen Dasheng to take them to get the gold.

Chen Dasheng’s impression of them had changed by now. Today, seeing the medicines and the present supplements for them, he was aware of their capabilities.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng left Entertainment City with the gold, said their goodbyes to Gu Ci and the others in the car, and departed.

On the way, Gu Pan stored the gold in the Space. Now, the Space was 50,200 square meters, with goods stored in 40,000 square meters of it. They left 10,000 square meters empty, planning to go out again to fill it up.

After returning to the base, they immediately went to find Lu Jianguo and discussed the idea of farming maggots.

Lu Jianguo had just finished a meeting with a worried expression. There was no meat available at the base, a lack of nutrition, and many people were ill.

After Gu Pan sat down, she went straight to the point. "Dad, we’ve thought of a way to supplement protein."

Lu Jianguo’s eyes widened. "We’re actually worried about this very issue. Do you really have a solution?" Sometimes he truly felt his son and daughter-in-law were sent by heaven to save him.

Lu Ruisheng said, "It was Panpan’s idea to farm maggots. They can be fed with fermenting rotten vegetable leaves, grains, etc. We’re not familiar with this, but we think the direction is correct."

Lu Jianguo slapped his thigh. "How come we didn’t think of this? We were really narrow-minded before, always thinking about how to breed animals and how to propagate unmutated fish, or how to make mutated animals edible. Why didn’t we consider this? Our thinking was really trapped, but Panpan is smart."

Gu Pan smiled. "We were inspired by a friend who talked about protein. I have some childhood trauma about maggots, which made me think of this."

After that, Gu Pan retold the story of the troublesome neighbor kid to Lu Jianguo and Lu Ruisheng.

Lu Jianguo laughed and cried at the story, "That kid really was a handful, but this time, he played a huge role. This could save so many people. Panpan, if there’s anything you want, just ask. As long as the base has it, we’ll fulfill your request."

Gu Pan scratched her head. "We don’t really need anything. If I were to ask for something, it would be for you to rest more."

Lu Jianguo’s eyes suddenly reddened. "You’re such a child; I really don’t know what to say."

Lu Ruisheng smiled. "We’re all family, Dad. You get back to your work; we’ll rest easy once this is settled. Panpan and I will head back now."

Lu Jianguo responded, "Alright, you guys go ahead."

With that, Lu Jianguo didn’t wait for Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng. He went straight out to convene a meeting with several leaders.

There was now no competition for positions in their base. Those who had harbored such ambitions before had now set them aside. With Lu Jianguo and his son holding up half the sky, what was there to fight for?

Furthermore, No.7 Base was now the best aside from the main base, and sometimes even advised the main base. They had sent newly cultivated sweet potatoes to the main base before, and these were all regarded as their contributions. Now, with everyone receiving ample praise, there was no longer a desire to struggle but instead, a desire to do even better.
