Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 394 Departure

After they had agreed on the plan, they started to prepare.

Gu Pan and her group had a small truck, which was perfect for transporting their belongings. They had loaded the truck that day and planned to drive it to the military convoy later, where it would be safe. Leaving it at home would risk it being stolen, or even worse, someone with a vendetta might set it on fire. The loss would be far greater than what they could afford. So, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng decided that once they delivered the truck, they would not return home, but would instead sleep in the truck, as it would be safer to keep an eye on it.

Apart from the essentials they carried with them, everything else was packed into this truck.

Previously, Gu Pan had also put everything that could be stored in the "Space" into it, especially the soil and flowerpots from inside the house.

In the courtyard, she turned back to look at the house, which held so many memories. It was once a proper little villa when they had moved in, but now it was a complete mess, all due to this damned apocalypse.

They were leaving again. After the apocalypse, they had changed locations countless times and left numerous bases behind. She wondered if they would ever return this time, or what the future held?

Her mind was full of questions, but there were no answers.

Lu Ruisheng put his arm around her shoulder, "Don’t think too much, as long as we are together, that’s home."

Gu Pan looked at Lu Ruisheng with a smile, "You’re right, let’s go."

The two of them got into the truck and drove off to meet up with the military, leaving the remaining people to gather at three in the morning the next day. They planned to leave while the base’s residents were still asleep to avoid causing them too much distress.

After reaching the military base, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng greeted everyone and explained their intentions. They had brought a lot of fuel with them, making it obvious that their truck wouldn’t require the base’s energy and resources.

This had been arranged in advance by Lu Jianguo.

Once everything was ready, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng decided to catch some sleep in the truck. They would be hitting the road in the middle of the night and needed to be well-rested.

At this time, Squad Leader Fang had already communicated his decision to Fang Lanlan, including the stark choice: if Fang Lanlan chose not to go, he would rather die right there. He had also laid out the advantages and disadvantages quite clearly.

Although Fang Lanlan found it hard to accept, everything Squad Leader Fang said was logical. She couldn’t be selfish.

She pulled Cheng Yang with her to kowtow to Squad Leader Fang three times. Then the two of them sat beside him, chatting. This might be their last night together, the final conversation between father and daughter.

They talked about many things, with Squad Leader Fang telling Cheng Yang about Fang Lanlan’s life from childhood to adulthood.

At that time, Gu Pan had already stored all the supplies from the truck into "Space", and the two of them slept in the closed back of the truck, which had been fortified by Chen Shaonan, ensuring their safety. They directly entered the "Space" and slept comfortably on the bed, having set an alarm first.

At half-past two, their alarm went off, and they quickly got ready.

All those who were transferring had arrived; no one wanted to miss it and had come early. Gu Pan’s truck was easily identifiable at the back, and their own people gathered around it.

Gu Pan distributed the tickets to everyone; she hadn’t given them out earlier for fear of them being stolen. Now, it was safe to do so.

Then these people proceeded to the registration area to follow the military’s arrangements.

Although they were moving together, Lu Jianguo was the commander in chief, riding in the leading command vehicle.

Fang Lanlan, Duan Shumei, and Feng Zhekai were all moving with their respective units. They were professional workers and had their own responsibilities.

As for the others with tickets, they would travel in modified military trucks, required only to obey orders and follow directions.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng drove their own truck, so they couldn’t be contacted at any time.

At three o’clock, the troop departed on schedule.

As they left, many residents of the base had come out. They knew what this meant. Even with a new Base Commander comforting them and veneered reassurances, they had a foreboding feeling, although they were powerless to act on it.

There were those who tried to climb onto the vehicles but were pulled down by the military personnel.

Gu Pan and her group watched as the figures in the rearview mirror grew smaller and smaller as they followed the military out of the base.

It wasn’t long before Gu Ci’s group caught up, maintaining a distance behind them.

Gu Ci’s group also had plenty of vehicles and supplies, primarily because Gu Ci had brought a lot of fuel, which was a significant asset.

Following behind the base’s convoy, no one dared to entertain any crooked ideas; their relationship with the base was mutually beneficial, so they were safe.

In fact, it was like before—if any outlaw groups tried to attack the base’s convoy from behind, Gu Ci’s group would be a barrier for the base.

Conversely, if there were any obstacles ahead, Gu Ci’s group would have time to prepare for battle.

Gu Ci’s group had plenty of other supplies and a large number of people, including talents in construction and agriculture. However, they lacked experts in technology, as that was too specialized a field.

The base’s scientific talents were among the first to transfer. Research on the "pills" substitute as food had already begun to take shape, so it was crucial to meet up with the main base as soon as possible to continue the research.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng’s position was slightly to the rear; civilian residents with travel passes were in front of them, followed by the technical personnel, and the base leaders and main military force lead by Lu Jianguo were at the very front. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Of course, they were also protected by military personnel following behind, and two military vehicles brought up the rear.

With such an arrangement, Gu Pan and her group felt at ease, safe both in front and behind. All they had to do was follow the convoy.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng took turns driving, which wasn’t exhausting. The weather had been consistently good, brilliantly clear, with the past few days enjoying particularly fine sunlight. The big sun hovered in the sky, and the deep blue sky seemed even brighter than usual.

They both wore UV-protective sunglasses, to prevent being dazzled.

At noon, the convoy stopped for a rest at the foot of a mountain.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng got out of their truck, wanting to check on their companions ahead and to look for Qin Qianqian. They had promised Wang Lijuan to look after her, but hadn’t seen her when they departed in the dark, so now seemed a good time to say hello.

However, as soon as they stepped out of the truck, they found the sunlight a bit unbearable.

Pretending to go back to the truck, Gu Pan retrieved two sun-protective suits and two wide-brimmed hats from the "Space" and dressed both herself and Lu Ruisheng properly before heading forward.

There was no worry about their belongings being stolen, as Gu Pan had stored everything in "Space", leaving only the sand-filled bags at the back as a diversion. Whenever needed, she could swap them using "Space" with just a thought, now adept at controlling it mentally.

They took a bag of food and drinks; the food was the small biscuits they’d baked before, and the drink was a fruit juice mixed by Gu Pan, enriched with nutritious powder.

Previously, they had found many disposable milk tea bags in a store, which came in handy. They prepared a couple of extra bags in case they bumped into Qin Qianqian and could give them to her.

No.7 Base was set to first meet up with the main base and then travel together to Mount Everest. Since they had to pass the main base en route to Mount Everest, it was safer to travel together.
