Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 396: Everyone is Changing in the Apocalypse

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng bid farewell and turned back, the sun beating down fiercely today. Although the temperature wasn’t that high, the sun was scorching.

They walked back to where their companions were, exchanged a few words, and then headed for the car.

As Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were leaving, Zhang Manman looked at the cookies in Qin Qianqian’s hand, "Qianqian, were the people just now your relatives? They’re really good to you."

Qin Qianqian was eager to talk, "Yes, they’re my sister and brother-in-law. They’re amazing, previously chose to be Scavengers, and they fetched a lot of precious supplies."

"Ah, they aren’t the Base Commander’s son and daughter-in-law, are they?" Zhang Manman asked curiously.

Qin Qianqian nodded, "Exactly them, you know?"

"How could I not know? My dad talks all the time about how impressive the Base Commander’s son and daughter-in-law are; he even ate skewers and spicy hotpot in the Base Commander’s office. I’m so jealous," Zhang Manman had a new fondness for Qin Qianqian at this point.

"My sister makes delicious food, often bringing us portions. We’ve even had mini hot pots, fried meatballs, and hamburgers before," Qin Qianqian felt a little proud when praised.

Zhang Manman hooked arms with her, "No way, you can even eat hot pot and burgers? What kind of heavenly life are you living?"

Qin Qianqian laughed, "Before the animal mutations, my sister went out and hunted wild boars several times. She made dried pork legs and salted meat, which can be preserved for a long time. We’ve followed them and enjoyed a lot of delicious food."

Zhang Manman looked at the cookies and juice in Qin Qianqian’s hand, "Qianqian, I’m so envious, jealousy is about to transform my face."

Wang Ke watched Zhang Manman and Qianqian chatting and laughing, regretting deeply why she had to speak so carelessly.

Before the apocalypse, her grandfather was the richest man in the city. Her family was wealthy, she was an only child, and born prematurely—her family doted on her to the skies, always selecting the finest for her, resulting in some spoiled habits.

After the apocalypse, her grandfather had prepared a lot of supplies for them, which they brought to No.7 Base. She had lived pretty well until the past two years when the supplies began to dwindle. The leftover ones expired or grew mold, leaving her to start eating the base’s food. Still, her family would pick out the good stuff for her, and they continued to spoil her, so she was indeed somewhat precious, which she was aware of.

She kept telling herself to get rid of these bad habits, but it was really hard to change.

During this relocation, her mother also gave up her chance to survive, giving it to her. Before leaving, her mom almost threatened her life, urging her to quickly adapt to the apocalypse, get along well with others, and make friends at the new base. After all, her dad might not always be with her; she needed to grow up. But the way she spoke just now, why did it come back to that same old tune?

Thinking of her mother not relocating, possibly dying, never to be seen again in this lifetime, suddenly, she felt tremendously upset and burst into tears, covering her face.

Qin Qianqian and Zhang Manman had just been joking, but they were startled by Wang Ke suddenly crying and rushed to ask what was wrong, wondering if she was sick.

Wang Ke looked at them, "I’m sorry, I really feel terrible. I was wrong. I really want to be friends with you, but I don’t know why I can’t speak properly. Do you dislike me?"

After saying this, she felt it wasn’t right again, "I’m not just saying pretty words. I really want to be friends with you. It’s just that I don’t know how to conduct myself in society. I will change. Please don’t push me away, okay?"

This relocation was different from before at the base, when everyone thought they would live there securely for a lifetime. That’s why some people who had settled down started to stir up trouble, but now it was different. Those who managed to relocate this time had used all their family’s resources to get a ticket. Who would have the leisure to cause trouble?

Actually, Qin Qianqian and Zhang Manman hadn’t thought that much. After all, they had just met and couldn’t become good friends instantly. It was just because Qin Qianqian and Zhang Manman hit it off that they talked a bit more.

Looking at Wang Ke, Qin Qianqian was a bit at a loss for words. She was actually very innocent, and it was only because of the scumbag Li Qingfeng that she had matured quite a bit. She had also learned a lot from being with people like Gu Pan.

She told Wang Ke, "We won’t judge a person’s character based on one thing. We have a lot of time to get to know each other, and friendship depends on whether our values align and whether we are compatible. Don’t overthink it."

Wang Ke seemed to understand, yet not. "So, you guys don’t hate me."

Zhang Manman, whose parents were busy with work and who had lived in boarding schools since she was young, was better at dealing with people. She said, "Let’s take it slow. Don’t cry now."

Wang Ke nodded. "I’m a bit scared."

At that moment, some people from their car came over, and they stopped talking. After all, when you’re not familiar with someone, you still need to protect your own privacy.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng talked with Chen Shaonan and others. They felt the sun was really dazzling and advised everyone to wear sunglasses and protective clothing when going out. They had all these gears.

Later, the two went back to their own car for lunch. Their lunch was different from others, consisting of one dish and two bowls of rice—simple but nutritious and tasty.

After lunch, they took a short nap and then set off.

But they hadn’t gone far when the vehicle stopped again. They rolled down the windows to listen to the soldiers explain what had happened. Some people from No.7 Base had hidden inside the crates on the military trucks, and some had even tied themselves to the undersides of the vehicles, bringing a total of eight people without tickets.

They had only left half a day ago, so those people were sent directly back.

This was something Gu Pan and the others hadn’t expected, but they weren’t too surprised after finding out. It’s human nature to fight for oneself.

But without rules, there is no square or circle. Indeed, they couldn’t bring these people along just because they had gotten out. Supplies were limited, and Mount Everest’s construction wasn’t fully complete. Once they arrived, there was a place for each person, and any expansion would occur later. Breaking the rules now was not possible.

Soon, they resumed their journey. The weather was good, the visibility was high, and the road was dry. Despite some rough patches, it was still passable.

The troops in the front began to sing, and those in the back soon followed.

Lu Ruisheng knew all the military songs and joined in singing a few lines.

Gu Pan hadn’t really heard him sing before. He wasn’t one who liked to sing, but when he sang the military songs, she thought he sounded quite good and encouraged him to continue.

Seeing that his wife enjoyed it, he also continued singing along.
