Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 238 - Snake Egg

Chapter 238 -238 Snake Egg

A few days ago, Lu Jianguo mentioned that Second Uncle Lu Jianshe was planning to come over, so Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng discussed that if possible, they would follow Second Uncle to the main base. It wasn’t just about seeking revenge for the old lady but also to check out the situation at the main base. They had previously heard about the Huaxia legacy “Flame Box” and how much the base actually knew about the future. In any case, it was necessary to make the trip.

However, they did not plan to settle at the main base. Once they had taken care of those matters, they intended to return because they had relatives here and felt more settled. No matter what disaster might come in the future, they would still feel safer here.

The next day, they arranged another trade with the second-hand dealer. They were now looking to expand the “Space” area on one hand and on the other, to reach the limit of trade with the second-hand dealer as soon as possible. They hoped to check out the entertainment venues around the base. Maybe there would be some different discoveries there?

On the day of the trade, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went up the mountain once more. Since they weren’t sure if they would come out the next day, they had removed all the traps last time. This time, they didn’t set any traps either because they didn’t plan to go out the following day.

They mainly wanted an excuse to bring back a wild boar since they had heard from their father-in-law that Second Uncle was coming.

While heading out, they unintentionally overheard the guards at the base’s gate saying that the team that went to the main base for errands had returned in the past few days. If Second Uncle came, he would probably be with them. So, they planned to bring back a wild boar and, at the time of sale, cut off a leg to keep for Second Uncle. In their hearts, Second Uncle was a towering figure. Of course, if Second Uncle didn’t come, then their own relatives could enjoy the meat instead—it wouldn’t go to waste.

Today, the “Space” had expanded by another two thousand square meters, now measuring 28,220 square meters. It became necessary to drive to get around within the “Space.”

When they reached the mountain, they did not intend to come back empty-handed, so they wandered around to see if they could hunt anything else or make some other gain.

The mountain was bare, although there were trees, they were all dead. There was grass, but it was withered too. Thus, their target was still the caves. The plants that had not been corroded by acid rain and could survive on groundwater were still plentiful inside the caves. There was a lot of moss, and although there were many snakes, insects, mice, and ants, these could be considered wild animals, albeit barely.

They entered a cave with a flashlight and walked inside. Truth be told, the deeper parts of the cave had more things and, naturally, more dangers.

However, there weren’t many large animals here, mostly many small creatures that feared humans. Hearing any noise, they would simply switch to another cave entrance to escape.

In a corner, Gu Pan found a nest of eggs and was quite pleased. She grabbed her husband’s hand, “Eggs, what kind of eggs are these? They look quite cute, all white and clean.”

Although she said this, she didn’t touch them. It was a good habit formed after the apocalypse: never to touch anything lightly, as danger could be anywhere.

Lu Ruisheng took a look and pulled Gu Pan back, “Snake eggs. Not sure if they’re poisonous.”

Thinking of snakes, Gu Pan shuddered. She was most afraid of these slimy, hairless creatures, especially snakes, which she dreaded the most. It wasn’t a matter of combat strength; it was just a natural aversion—one glance would leave her completely weak.

She rubbed her arms, “Let’s go quickly.”

Though she would take any kind of meat and could store it in the “Space” without touching it, Gu Pan couldn’t accept it. She truly couldn’t bear it. If today they took these snake eggs, she feared she’d be tormenting herself.

The two hurried out of the cave because Gu Pan was afraid to see snakes. In the past, just seeing a snake scene on TV would make her nauseous and even vomit. This was truly unbearable.

After leaving the cave, they both took the wild boar back to the base.

When they reached the entrance to the base, those guards were no longer as surprised as before, but they still offered their congratulations.

After speaking with the guards to see if anyone had come looking for them, they went to the trading post.

The people at the trading post were not surprised to see them: “You two really are the lucky stars of the base.”

Gu Pan said with a smile, “You flatter me. This time, we got the meat because we wanted to treat some relatives of ours, so we made a point of getting it. We plan to keep a pig’s leg for ourselves.”

The people at the trading point didn’t hesitate, although they would have preferred more meat. But with nobody bringing in meat and the base’s hunting army not back for half a month, it was a good thing these two brought some back.

A staff member chopped off a pig’s leg, processed the rest, then packed up the pig’s leg for them and gave them some contribution points.

Lu Ruisheng carried the bag with the pig’s leg, and he and Gu Pan rode back home on a motorcycle. After they arrived home, the two of them cleaned the pig’s leg.

Afterward, Gu Pan fried up a big pot of meatballs, which could last a few days.

Then she braised the pig’s trotters, hocks, and a piece of meat, making it saltier so it could last a few more days.

She also boiled the pork bones into soup. By heating it up every day, it could keep for a few days as well.

Finally, they hung the remaining meat in a cool, ventilated place so it would last a couple or three days.

After all, this meat couldn’t go into the Space. Otherwise, the meat when taken out would be too fresh and wouldn’t align with reality.

Having finished up, Gu Pan prepared some meatballs and braised meat to take to the two neighbors. She filled a lunch box for each house and put them into two bags for easy carrying.

When she reached the door, she saw a young woman coming over and asking, “Excuse me, is this Cheng Yang’s house?”

Gu Pan found the voice strangely familiar. Without answering, she asked in return, “Are you Cheng Yang’s colleague?”

Besides colleagues, Cheng Yang only knew Gu Pan and her group. Gu Pan hadn’t heard Cheng Yang mention knowing any young women, so she asked tentatively.

The young woman said, “I’m Cheng Yang’s ex-girlfriend. I saw him the other day but didn’t get to talk because we were far apart, and now here I am after finding out where he lives. Are you his neighbors?”

Gu Pan suddenly remembered why the voice was familiar. It was Mo Xiaoqian, the one who had looked for Cheng Yang during the extreme cold, Cheng Yang’s drama queen, green tea bitch ex-girlfriend.

She couldn’t let Mo Xiaoqian latch onto Cheng Yang, so Gu Pan said, “We’ve met before. You’re his ex-girlfriend. If I remember correctly, Cheng Yang is really annoyed by you. I advise you not to look for him.”

How could Mo Xiaoqian not look for him? After getting here, while still living in a bungalow, she was determined to climb up the social ladder.

At that moment, Fang Lanlan came out, “Sister, who is it?”

Seeing the young woman who came out of Cheng Yang’s house, Mo Xiaoqian immediately felt hostility: “Who are you?”

Gu Pan suddenly came up with a good idea. She said to Mo Xiaoqian, “She’s the owner of this house and also Cheng Yang’s girlfriend. Cheng Yang is now living at his girlfriend’s place.”

Fang Lanlan was confused and had no idea what Gu Pan meant, but she knew one thing: Gu Pan wouldn’t hurt her, so she kept silent.

Mo Xiaoqian blinked rapidly. Something was wrong. She had heard that it was Cheng Yang’s friend who was capable and had taken him out on missions, earning themselves a villa. How could it be that he was just living in?

No, this must be the woman in front of her deceiving her: “I don’t believe what you’re saying. I’ll wait for Cheng Yang to come back.”
