Chapter 33 -33: Team Gathering
Gu Pan and the others followed Lu Ruisheng out of the apartment, and with Lu Ruisheng leading the way, no one dared to stop them.
Watching them leave, the resident of 902 was so enraged she almost crushed her back molars. She said to the building manager, “Manager, they really don’t respect you at all, even though you’re the manager.”
The building manager sighed, “There are no more police, so what am I as a manager?”
The owner of 402 said, “I think Miss Gu makes sense. We always go to supermarkets and stores to scavenge; what can we find there? Maybe we should also try places like office buildings.”
The owner of 801 said, “We can’t pick locks, and even if we have the physical strength to go up there, how can we open those doors? Look at the equipment on the seventh floor; those folks used to work in renovations, they know how to break in. How can we compare with them?”
The owner of 502 said, “We can’t compare, but going there to scavenge is definitely better than the places we went to before, right?”
Both households on the third floor had young men who were quite united. After hearing what Gu Pan had just said, they had an epiphany.
At this point, they also felt that staying with these people was indeed a waste of time. It was always the two of them who exerted the most effort, but the items they brought back were not the most, and they were constantly morally held hostage. It was better to act on their own, like Gu Pan and her group.
So, the two third-floor households quietly went home, got dressed, and sent four people to search the place Gu Pan had hinted at.
By now, Gu Pan and her group had already reached the next destination and started searching. As for those still struggling with how to take advantage, she really couldn’t be bothered to give them another glance since they were also the first to be eliminated.
Today, they were searching an office building of a nearby factory. They came by directions and then dug snow tunnels to get inside. The easy to reach places were now crowded, so they started exploring such places.
Upon entering, everyone was indeed surprised. It was a foreign enterprise’s factory, and the office building’s pantry had imported snacks. The employees’ drawers also contained quality food.
The building had eight floors. With six of them, Gu Pan suggested they split up to search, one person per floor; the first floor was the lobby, and the top floor was a garden, which didn’t have many offices, so they started from the second floor.
Lu Ruisheng volunteered to search the second floor; if someone came, the second floor would be noticed first, and his capabilities were the strongest, so this way everyone would be safe.
Naturally, Gu Pan took the third floor, as she wanted to stay close to Lu Ruisheng.
Then came Feng Zhekai on the fourth floor, Chen Shaonan and Chen Lang on the fifth and sixth floors, Cheng Yang searched the second-to-last floor.
Gu Pan was the fastest because she had the “Space”; many items didn’t need sorting, she could just place them directly into the “Space,” and sort them out when she got home.
After finishing her search, she went downstairs to find Lu Ruisheng and loaded some more items into the “Space.”
Today, they found snacks and drinks, but Gu Pan also casually took a few laptops and put them in the “Space.”
After completing the search, they went upstairs to find Feng Zhekai and the others, and all went to check out the rooftop garden. Although it was the apocalypse, perhaps everyone still longed for a good life; dreaming and fantasizing was also a kind of rest for the soul.
Since there was a canopy, the scenery was all there, only the water in the pool was frozen, and the flowers and plants had died.
At that moment, Chen Shaonan excitedly called them over to a corner, “There’s a home generator here, come and take a look.”
Everyone hurried over.
Chen Shaonan introduced to everyone, saying that if they could find enough fuel, their use of electricity in these two floors could be resolved.
Chen Lang asked Chen Shaonan, “Where can we get enough fuel?”
This stumped Chen Shaonan too, as everything had frozen, and they couldn’t get the fuel out of gas stations.
Gu Pan said, “First, let’s take the things back, and then we’ll figure out the fuel.”
Chen Shaonan nodded and replied, “Right, let’s take them back first. We have a few barrels of oil, which will last us for a while. We’ll figure out the rest later.”
Speaking of which, everyone moved these items downstairs.
When they reached the ground floor, Lu Ruisheng led a few men, using stools and iron bars to make sledges.
Gu Pan walked around the first floor again and found some walkie-talkies in the security room that still worked. She put two in the “Space” and took the rest out. How convenient would it be for them to use walkie-talkies at home?
Since they found a lot today, besides food and drink, they also found timber, Lu Ruisheng and the others made three sledges and loaded everything up; by afternoon, they headed back.
They first went to their base, the morgue, put some items there, and brought the rest back.
On the way, Lu Ruisheng briefed everyone about the specific situation of the morgue to familiarize them. After all, there were many bodies inside, although they were all in cold storage and didn’t affect them, they still needed to get the others psychologically prepared.
Feng Zhekai, being a doctor, was used to seeing the deceased and wasn’t afraid. He even started educating everyone about the bodies, saying that, at this temperature, the bodies wouldn’t harm people.
Chen Shaonan also mentally prepared his son, Chen Lang, reminding him that this was the brutal reality of the apocalypse, and he had to accept it.
Yesterday, when Cheng Yang came with Lu Ruisheng, Lu Ruisheng had already prepared him mentally, so he wasn’t scared and even thought that having such a base was a clever idea.
Lu Ruisheng knew Gu Pan wasn’t scared, but still held her hand as they entered together.
Once inside and familiar with the layout, Gu Pan pulled out a few bicycle locks from her pocket, added locks to the door, and the four of them set the code. From now on, anyone could open it by themselves, of course, this was based on absolute mutual trust between the four families.
After everything was set, they took the things they needed to take back home.
They came back earlier today because Cheng Yang was moving. Although he didn’t have much, just some personal clothing, Gu Pan planned to warm up the pot for Cheng Yang, drawing everyone together for a nice meal.
Another task was unloading an iron gate from outside. When Cheng Yang moved his stuff, the others installed the iron gate on the staircase of the sixth floor, adding an extra layer of protection to their floor.
Cheng Yang wasn’t moving big items, so he didn’t need much help—just some essentials and clothes, shoes being the most abundant as he had a particular fondness for them. Although they were too thin for current wear, he still felt more secure having them around. After a few trips, all were brought over, and less important items could be fetched anytime as the house was still his.
After installing the iron gate, Cheng Yang addressed everyone, “I guess I’m moving today, so come over to my place for dinner tonight. Though there’s nothing special, it’ll be lively.”
Gu Pan thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll prepare dinner tonight. Let’s have hotpot. I happen to have a copper hotpot and charcoal at home. Everyone, come over to Cheng Yang’s place for dinner in half an hour.”
Hearing about hotpot, Cheng Yang’s eyes lit up, “Sis, you actually have a copper hotpot? You’re my idol.”

Gu Pan laughed and replied, “Don’t tease me, just hurry up and get your things ready.”
After a few laughs, everyone headed home to change clothes. They all wore their thickest down jackets when going out. Although it was still cold at home, with the charcoal brazier, they could wear something a bit lighter without needing to wear hats, scarves, and gloves.
