Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 391: Cheng Yang Gets Married

Of course, there were also those who knew about the base relocation but realized they lacked the capacity to move with everyone else and had given up.

These people had come to terms with their situation, no longer wearing protective gear, going out daily to enjoy the sunlight and freedom. Although they couldn’t leave, they had nothing else to do, so they indulged in their remaining days within the base.

Some began to search the forests for wild vegetables and mushrooms. Though the base forbade it, and no one was watching, these people knew they were abandoned and weren’t concerned about mutations.

In the evening, Squad Leader Fang sought out Cheng Yang.

Seeing the formality with which Squad Leader Fang approached him to talk, Cheng Yang felt some pressure and sat up straight in front of him.

Squad Leader Fang stared at him for a long while before speaking, "Cheng Yang, I’m leaving Lanlan in your hands."

Cheng Yang was a bit puzzled by this statement, "Squad Leader Fang, has something happened?"

Squad Leader Fang nodded, "I don’t have many days left, so I plan to get you and Lanlan married soon. It’s at least one concern off my mind."

Cheng Yang was stunned for a good while, "Don’t scare me. Didn’t Doctor Feng say everything was fine when he took you to the hospital for a check-up?"

"That was when I knew it was late-stage cancer. I had him hide the truth because I didn’t want you to worry. Now with the relocation, I don’t want to be a burden, and if I were to go on the road, it would just be taking up a spot. It’s better to leave that position to a younger, able person who can be of use to the base."

"But you are our family; how could we just abandon you?"

"Even before the apocalypse, with surgeries and chemotherapy, I wouldn’t have lived more than two or three years. Do you think with the environment now, traveling such a long distance to Mount Everest and then facing issues like altitude sickness, that I could survive?"

Cheng Yang understood that what Squad Leader Fang was saying was all true. The long journey combined with the altitude of Mount Everest, a late-stage cancer patient couldn’t withstand it.

"If Lanlan stays for your sake, then I will stay too," said Cheng Yang.

"I’m telling you this in advance so that you can take Lanlan away. If she refuses to leave, then I will not live past tomorrow, forcing you both to leave," Squad Leader Fang’s tone was resolute, allowing no room for negotiation.

Cheng Yang could see Squad Leader Fang’s determination, "Is there really no other way?"

Squad Leader Fang shook his head, "I genuinely don’t have much time left. Surviving till today in such an apocalypse is already a win for me. I am not greedy for more. Now that Lanlan has you, I’m even more relieved. Xiao Lu and Xiao Gu are great leaders; following them, you might actually survive to the end. Cheng Yang, take good care of Lanlan."

Cheng Yang stood up and knelt in front of Squad Leader Fang, "Dad, rest assured, I will treasure Lanlan as I do my own life."

This address was also his assurance to Squad Leader Fang.

Squad Leader Fang, with tears in his eyes, nodded, "Good, good child, get up," saying this while helping Cheng Yang to his feet.

Cheng Yang, standing up, asked, "But suddenly getting married, won’t Lanlan be suspicious? How should we explain it to her?"

Squad Leader Fang replied, "I will talk to her about my health, let her know about my illness first. After you get married, I will tell her that I’m not moving with you. She should be able to accept it better then."

Cheng Yang didn’t know what else to say, so he just responded, "Then I’ll do as you say, Dad."

Squad Leader Fang nodded, then couldn’t help but start coughing again, more forcefully this time, the handkerchief catching more blood.

Cheng Yang quickly got him some water.

After seeing that Squad Leader Fang had stabilized a bit, Cheng Yang helped him back to bed to rest for a while.

Later that night, Lu Ruisheng brought Squad Leader Fang some painkillers to take when he couldn’t bear it.

Squad Leader Fang flatly refused, "I can’t accept these; they may save your lives in the future. Considering my condition, I just want to see their wedding. After that, I won’t care about life or death anymore. Keep these for the people who can survive."

Lu Ruisheng was also firm, "We still have more, Squad Leader Fang. Rest assured, we’ve kept enough medication to ensure there’s ample supply."

"Don’t lie to me. How many resources must it take to get these medicines now? You’re only making me anxious. Take them back quickly. You need to lead these people to survive until the end. Why are you letting your emotions take over?"

"Squad Leader Fang, we’ve really calculated this and can afford to spare some."

"The more of these things, the better. I’ll feel at peace knowing you guys are carrying them. If you keep them, you’re forcing me to leave sooner."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

"Xiao Lu, take good care of these people. They are all good people. I never imagined we could make it this far. You and Xiao Gu are really incredible and smart. Thank you."

"Squad Leader Fang, let’s not talk about this. You should rest well."

"I know my condition well enough, and making it this far hasn’t been easy. It was Xiao Gu who thoughtfully planned the wedding, which lets me leave without any regrets whenever that may be."

"This wedding must be grand."

"Alright, then I’ll leave it all to you."

"Let’s not stand on ceremony, just get some rest."

After agreeing, Lu Ruisheng had no choice but to bring the medications back, otherwise, he truly believed Squad Leader Fang might take his own life.

Upon returning, Lu Ruisheng shared his conversation with Squad Leader Fang with Gu Pan, and they decided to do their best to make the wedding as good as possible.

In the following days, Gu Pan and the others devoted themselves entirely to organizing the wedding for Cheng Yang and Fang Lanlan.

After learning about her father’s illness, Fang Lanlan naturally agreed to fulfill his wish by consenting to the wedding.

Of course, she liked Cheng Yang herself, although she hadn’t planned on having the wedding so soon, but now it had to be moved up.

Lu Ruisheng gave Cheng Yang a box of contraceptives. In the Space, safety was guaranteed, and at a time like this, an accident would be no joke. The journey to Mount Everest, along with its effects, was hazardous and not suitable for pregnancy.

Gu Pan also gave Fang Lanlan some emergency contraceptives. Being young and passionate, it was better to be extra careful to avoid mishaps.

Soon, the day of the wedding arrived. Today, Lu Jianguo also took half a day off to attend the wedding.

Others were not informed because moving around outside was still unsafe, plus some people had tickets to Mount Everest. It was better to have them stay home than lose the tickets due to attending the wedding.

Although there were not many attendees, the event was still grand.

Even though the bride and groom lived together, there was still a wedding car adorned with the character for "happiness" and tied with red balloons. It circled around the base and set off firecrackers.

Their wedding brought vitality to the otherwise somber base, making it the focus of the day.

After a lap, the car returned to Cheng Yang’s house.

Cheng Yang carried Fang Lanlan over the threshold. Both wore clothes hastily made by Lu Xuerong, including a suit and a wedding gown.

The suit was an unworn set of Lu Ruisheng’s, which Lu Xuerong had adjusted for size.

The wedding gown had been collected by Gu Pan from a bridal shop and put into the Space. It was slightly torn when obtained, but Lu Xuerong had altered and cleaned it, making it beautiful now.
