Chapter 28 -28: Continue Zero Cost Shopping
After eating, the two entered the “Space” and began to tidy up the things they had brought back that day.
There were plenty of items, especially from the first supermarket haul, all stored in boxes. They took out each item, placed it on the shelves, and organized everything as neatly as possible to free up more space for even more supplies.
They kept busy until midnight before they had nearly finished organizing. Now, the “Space” still had about one-sixth of its area free, which could accommodate a considerable amount of additional supplies.
After finishing, they both showered and went to bed, as they had plans to continue their zero-cost shopping expedition the following day.
Many more people had started frequenting the supermarkets, so their next target was a business tower. They decided against the office cubicles with fewer things that required breaking into every small company’s door—a process that was honestly not worth the time and effort for the unskilled.
Therefore, they chose to hit up the larger corporate offices which were bound to have valuable items. Perhaps a CEO there fancied gold, and there might be various gold ornaments? Those places would definitely contain luxury items that might be useless to those focused on survival but could be crucial for them.
The next morning, right after breakfast, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng changed their clothes, preparing to head out.
Just as they were changing, someone knocked on the door. Without guessing, they knew it was the neighbors, as no one else could enter.
Lu Ruisheng responded from inside, “Teacher Chen, please wait a moment; we are going out but are still changing.”
Chen Shaonan and his spouse knew the boundaries well and never pried into the privacy of others. Knowing that the couple disliked having strangers in their home, he said, “Then I’ll wait for you in the hallway.”
After changing, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng stepped out. She locked the door and asked Lu Ruisheng to go ahead and talk with Chen Shaonan since it was more appropriate for the men to communicate.
The soundproofing in their floor’s hallway allowed them to converse without being overheard from the outside.
Chen Shaonan spoke softly to Lu Ruisheng, “I really don’t know how to thank you enough. Yesterday, we went out and found a lot of food, all hidden outside. Only this morning did people in the community start saying that nobody’s managing the supermarkets anymore. They only began going today. The difference between those who went today and those who went last night is like night and day. We really appreciate what you’ve done.”
Lu Ruisheng replied, “Teacher Chen, there’s no need to be so formal. We’re all one family here.”
Chen Shaonan nodded, “Exactly, we’re family. So I won’t make a fuss over politeness. You guys might need this climbing backpack today, so here, take it quickly and don’t let me delay you.”
Lu Ruisheng took the backpack, “Then we’ll be off.”
Chen Shaonan said, “Be careful out there. There were quite a few fights over supplies last night. We can afford to lose possessions, but life is irreplaceable.”
Gu Pan smiled, “Understood, Teacher Chen. We both value our lives very much.”
After saying goodbye, Chen Shaonan went back home to discuss with his wife and son how to bring some of the supplies back.
When Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng reached the sixth floor, Feng Zhekai and his wife were already waiting for them in the hallway. Both couples had discussed the situation at home and there was no need for excessive thanks as it would be a waste of time.
So Lu Ruisheng approached Feng Zhekai directly, “Dr. Feng, we’re family now and there’s no need for formalities. We’ll go out again to check things out and let you know if there’s any news.”
Feng Zhekai looked at them, “This is no small matter, and we can’t offer you a meal or anything right now, but in the future, your concerns will be our concerns.”
Feng Zhekai’s wife added, “Yes, this is a life-saving matter, and for us, it’s of utmost importance.”
Gu Pan looked at Feng Zhekai’s wife and smiled, “Sister-in-law, everything is in chaos out there, and trustworthy people are rare. So now that we trust each other, truly, there’s no need for these words. We’re going out to look around again and won’t linger any longer.”
Feng Zhekai handed the backpack they had found the previous day to Lu Ruisheng, “Then, you too must be careful.”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng agreed and bid their farewells before leaving.
Once out of sight, Gu Pan took out the snowmobile, and they both got on it. They first made a trip to the hospital and found some medication. Those requiring constant temperature control were no good anymore. Luckily, they had bought those earlier, but the tablets and soluble powders were still consumable. At that time, most people were only concerned about finding food to survive, so the hospital’s medications were still there. They went to the pharmacy and collected all the useful drugs into the Space.
As for the CT machines and EKGs, there was no need to take them. These couldn’t just be operated by any doctor, and there would also be the issue of maintenance. Taking them would be pointless.
However, the AEDs, automated external defibrillators, the lifesaving emergency equipment, were all worth taking. They could be lifesaving in a critical moment.

The Chinese herbal medicines and patent drugs in the Chinese medicine pharmacy were also gathered into the Space. These would be more precious than food in the future.
Leaving the hospital, they planned to go to the local largest real estate’s office building but ended up spotting the convention center on the way. Remembering that car shows were often held here, Gu Pan suggested that Lu Ruisheng ride over to check it out.
Once inside, they were both stunned—not by a car show but a yacht exhibit.
Since they were there, they couldn’t leave empty-handed. There was still room in the Space, so they collected a yacht, which immediately filled it up. Now, if they wanted to continue putting things into the Space, they would have to stack them on the yacht.
However, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng had recently discovered a unique feature of the Space: items could be piled as high as possible, even if that meant building structures to stack them on.
Yet, the basic area was limited, so it was impossible to fit something like a cruise ship. Gu Pan thought it would be nice if the Space could expand, but then thought one shouldn’t be too greedy and had to learn to be content.
Leaving there, they headed to the local largest real estate office building. Unable to open the door, they entered through a window.
The two started searching from the first floor. The items were quite diverse, but mostly useless, other than some snack foods in the reception desk.
The second floor didn’t have much either, just some office supplies and food in the cubicles.
But they did find and collect coffee and snacks in the break room.
It wasn’t until the sixth floor, where the various executives’ offices started, that they found items of value, though not many since the positions were not of high rank.
Climbing all the way to the twenty-second floor left Gu Pan’s legs trembling, but it proved worth the climb.
The top executive’s office took up an entire floor, and the entrance pond landscape was as large as a typical house. The decorative pieces in the office were antiques.
Although there wasn’t much gold, these antiques had collectible value.
Speaking of antiques, Gu Pan recalled that in the past life, relics from museums were taken during the evacuation and stored in the Huaxia Country’s so-called Flame Box, along with other valuable items from around the country, all transported by the military to some unknown location—certainly not the base, as in the past life, they had been there and hadn’t seen these items.
Of course, there were ten bases in the past life, and they had only seen one, so there could be much they didn’t know.
Back then, survival was the main concern, but this time they were determined to live with more awareness, so many things had to be explored more slowly.
Searching this floor added five minutes to the gold count, yet they still collected a heap of miscellaneous items.
After spending a day in the building, they left when it was already dark and headed home.
Arriving home, the young man from 901 was waiting at their door and stealthily pulled out a package to give to Lu Ruisheng.
Then he whispered, “Bro, thank you. I’ve managed to find some food. From now on, I’m with you. This is especially for you and sister-in-law. This isn’t the right place to talk, and I won’t say much. I’m grateful in my heart.”
After expressing his thanks to Gu Pan, he went upstairs.
