Chapter 26 -26: Frantically Gathering Gold
Gu Pan laughed after listening, raised her gun, and fired a shot at a wooden shelf beside the short man, splitting the wooden board on the shelf into pieces with a bang.
She said, “We thought we couldn’t eat all these supplies, so we might as well take our own share, but now you’re not taking the hint, huh?”
The short man, scared, hugged his head and crouched on the ground, “A real gun?”
At this time, three men ran up from the underground supermarket. They were all wrapped up tightly, but their builds made it obvious they were men.
The leader, who was quite bulky, approached Gu Pan and said, “Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, if we fight and both get injured, won’t others benefit in the end? My two brothers were impulsive, I apologize on their behalf. Let’s each search on our own, no conflict.”
Gu Pan said, “You’re a smart one, so let’s not get in each other’s way. These things don’t belong to just one person anyway, so let’s take what we can based on our abilities.”
After speaking, Gu Pan pulled Lu Ruisheng into an unoccupied jewelry store counter beside them and began to quickly collect gold.
The two men who were the first to see them began to collect gold as well, but subconsciously kept some distance from Gu Pan and her group.
Gu Pan was primarily after the gold, so she and Lu Ruisheng took off their backpacks, piling gold over the counter. Of course, while it looked like Gu Pan was stuffing her bag, everything actually went into Space.
The two men had a cart, so they could take a lot more without it being heavy, and they kept on collecting. Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng’s backpacks had wheels at the bottom, so they weren’t worried about taking more.
Soon, the five jewelry stores on the first floor were split among them. Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng scavenged three, and the other two, out of fear of their guns, didn’t compete with them and only took from the other two stores.
Dragging their backpacks, the two went down to the underground supermarket again.
The floors above the second were all clothing, bags, and catering, so they went straight to the underground supermarket.
The other group was also there, having filled about a dozen shopping carts already – basically, anything edible, they packed.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng didn’t waste time either and began loading up their shopping carts with food.
Because the supermarket had been looted before and had even operated on a queue system for three days, and the supermarket owner had taken away supplies for their own family use, there was hardly any rice, flour, oil, or meat left, and no instant noodles or biscuits either. What remained were mostly snacks, and frozen vegetables and fruits.
There wasn’t a frozen dumpling left in the freezers, but there was plenty of ice cream, which Gu Pan piled indiscriminately into the cart. Whatever she could conveniently place into Space, she did so, as she was now quite adept at using it.
Very quickly, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng also filled more than a dozen shopping carts. Taking more would be impractical in front of these people, and they couldn’t just put everything into Space with an audience. Anyway, they had obtained most of the things they wanted from this mall. It was time to find another place to get gold, so they didn’t linger. They tied the carts together with rope, pulled them up to the second floor, and directly pulled everything out through the entrance they came in.
Then Lu Ruisheng watched over the stuff at the exit, while Gu Pan walked farther to an area with no people, took out a snowmobile from Space, rode it over, with a super-sized sled attached to the back, loaded with several large boxes.
This naturally was to avoid drawing attention. Those people would surely sneak out to monitor their movements, so they had to have a believable cover.
The two packed everything into the boxes, and the gold that had been in Lu Ruisheng’s backpack, Gu Pan had already placed into Space when packing.
After packing up, Lu Ruisheng rode the snowmobile, with Gu Pan alongside, pulling their goods, and they left stylishly.
The people watching them reported back to their leader, saying they left on a snowmobile, dragging a massive sled, and they lost track of them.
On hearing this, the leader sighed, “Looks like these two are not simple. It’s good we didn’t clash; otherwise, we would have surely lost some brothers.”

The underling also wiped the sweat from his brow, “Boss, so what do we do now?”
The boss slapped the underling’s head, “Is your head filled with pig brains? Let’s take the supplies back to our place.”
The underling hurried on his way to pack up the things.
Lu Ruisheng stopped the snowmobile in an area with no people.
The two got off; Gu Pan packed the entire sled into Space—to be sorted out later when they got home. She then pulled Lu Ruisheng into Space as well and checked the Rule Card. The time had turned into 7 hours and 22 minutes.
This was similar to what they had anticipated. Previously, Gu Pan researched that an average jewelry store has between 10 to 50 pounds of gold, with most carrying less than 20 pounds—not too much, considering the high cost and risk.
Gu Pan’s Space gained one minute for every 100 grams of gold. Sixty minutes in an hour would need 6000 grams of gold, which is about 12 pounds.
They had scavenged three jewelry stores, collecting roughly over 50 pounds of gold and gaining an additional 4 hours and 21 minutes.
Looking at the time, Gu Pan happily kissed Lu Ruisheng on the cheek, “Honey, over seven hours now, let’s continue to the next shopping center.”
Lu Ruisheng, through his thick hood, patted Gu Pan’s head, equally pleased, “Next stop.”
They came out, mounted the snowmobile, and headed towards the commercial street with several jewelry stores, likely to have a decent amount of gold.
However, their second destination was disappointing. Upon arrival, it had already been robbed, with windows smashed, and everything inside was a mess, with some gold jewelry scattered on the floor and counters.
But even a grasshopper is meat; having come all the way, they collected what was left in these stores as well, which didn’t take long.
Half an hour later, they had finished, and Space was extended by another five minutes—now at 7 hours and 27 minutes.
It was noon, and they had lunch in Space, then continued to the next shopping center, which had six gold stores and no previous looters. They quickly began collecting gold, and from the six stores, they gained 8 hours and 10 minutes.
Together with the previous 7 hours and 27 minutes, that was a total of 15 hours and 37 minutes.
Subtracting 15 hours and 37 minutes from 24 hours, they had 8 hours and 23 minutes left before Space would no longer have time constraints.
They thought the first day was the best opportunity and that if they could find another place like this, they could complete the 24 hours.
But the safety of the next location and whether or not it had already been scavenged were uncertain, so since they were already here, they couldn’t pass up the goods from this place, as supplies could also be traded for gold later.
They went to the supermarket in the shopping center, an imported food store usually expensive and untouched during the last rationing. They had hoped to find plenty, but upon entering, they were surprised to find that staple foods and biscuits had been orderly taken away.
Lu Ruisheng picked up a badge from the ground, “The army took them.”
“Then let’s just pick up what’s left; we are here after all, and at least there’s still some snacks.”
“True, eventually, anything edible can be exchanged for gold, so it’s a win either way.”
