Chapter 34 -34: Reinforcement with Multiple Protective Measures
When they got home, Gu Pan took out a copper hot pot from the Space, as well as charcoal, then she took hot pot soup base, dipping sauces, meat, meatballs, and vegetables, along with disposable bowls and chopsticks—everything that could be prepared was prepared.
Then she went downstairs with Lu Ruisheng to Cheng Yang’s new residence.
Chen Lang was just in the corridor. He quickly came over to help them carry things and entered the house together.
By then, Cheng Yang had already lit the brazier, and the house was quite warm.
The house was well-decorated, and the original owner was wealthy; the large dining table could seat eight people, and there were exactly eight of them to sit at one table.
The hot pot was placed on the table—the vegetables, meat, and meatballs were all frozen. Gu Pan had washed the vegetables beforehand, so they were ready to be cooked right away.
They didn’t have any alcohol, but Cheng Yang found quite a few drinks today. Now that they were thawed, everyone had a bottle and was happier than during the New Year.

Chen Shaonan and the others had brought a big bag of instant noodles, fearing there might not be enough meat and vegetables.
Feng Zhekai and his wife brought a salted ham.
These were things they usually wouldn’t indulge in freely, but today was a rare opportunity to spoil themselves.
While eating, they suddenly all reminisced about the old days.
Cheng Yang, trying not to cry, said, “I always felt my parents were too controlling, that they just wanted to control me, but now I might never see them again in this lifetime.”
Chen Shaonan also sighed, “My parents are both over seventy, and we’ve lost contact for so many days; I don’t even dare to think about it now.”
Feng Zhekai said, “It’s truly the apocalypse now; we can only pray that the heavens are merciful and let good people survive this disaster.”
His parents had other siblings around them, so they were not as worried, but they still hoped for divine mercy to let the elderly live more smoothly.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were actually the most relieved inside because they had no immediate family left and thus had fewer concerns.
But they couldn’t just say that. Gu Pan could only comfort everyone by saying, “Believe that those who love you want the best for you. If you’re doing well here, it’s the best thing you can do for your parents and elders.”
Cheng Yang wiped his tears, “Sis, you’re right. I need to be strong. After the disaster, I want to make my parents proud.”
Chen Shaonan added, “Yes, my parents always said that as long as you are all well, I can rest easy. If we live well, only then can they truly have peace of mind.”
Lu Ruisheng raised his drink, “Here’s to the health and well-being of those who love us.”
Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip of their drinks, wiped away their tears, and started discussing upcoming matters.
Gu Pan reminded everyone that this disaster wouldn’t end too quickly; otherwise, the military wouldn’t have all withdrawn. Therefore, everyone should consider the long term and not only stock up on food. They must also grab daily necessities when they see them. Things that seemed useless might become essential later, and anything non-renewable was precious.
Listening to Gu Pan’s words, everyone agreed because the situation was indeed chaotic. They had seen people fighting and dying over a bit of food in the supermarkets. Hence, even if they were still holding onto hope, they couldn’t lull themselves into complacency and had to prepare for the long term.
Lu Ruisheng discussed the upcoming group training with everyone—the self-defense training. No matter if it was a man or a woman, all needed to learn to save their own lives.
From now on, training would start at dawn every day, at least two hours a day, and no one could be absent.
After talking about this, Lu Ruisheng also mentioned escape plans. Now that the sixth floor had an iron door, they needed to know the safest way to escape from the windows if there were a fire.
Gu Pan brought over a safety rope, and Lu Ruisheng explained and demonstrated how to use it. Although this was a meal, it felt like a major conference.
At this time, Chen Shaonan got the walkie-talkies working. They had tested them, and all were operational—one for each household, so they could keep in contact without always needing to walk up and down and knock on doors.
Order was now gone, and fighting and killing over resources was not unusual. But with the current temperatures, once someone got injured, it was very difficult to heal, even though they were with a doctor. So Gu Pan reminded everyone to be vigilant and protect themselves.
It was dark, and the meal finally ended. Everyone cleaned up together and then went home with their walkie-talkies in hand.
They all went to sleep pretty early tonight; they had done a lot today and were quite tired.
In the middle of the night, Lu Ruisheng suddenly sat up, listening to the noises outside.
Gu Pan woke up shortly after, “Is someone prying the iron door?”
Lu Ruisheng nodded, “I’ll go check.” Saying that, he quickly put on his cotton clothes and pants. At the door, he looked out through the peephole.
The bedroom door had been closed before, but now that it was open, the sound from outside grew louder. It wasn’t like someone was stealthily picking the lock, but rather chopping at a chain without hiding their intentions. It seemed that the newcomers were up to no good.
Then the walkie-talkie rang. It was Feng Zhekai downstairs. His voice was urgent, “Xiao Lu, Xiao Gu, is something happening on your floor? I’m getting dressed and coming up.”
Gu Pan took the walkie-talkie and replied, “Dr. Feng, none of you from the sixth floor should come up. We have weapons and can handle it. You protect yourselves; we’ll feel more at ease confronting them.”
After speaking, Gu Pan hurriedly dressed and took out bulletproof vests and helmets from the Space, walked out of their bedroom, and said to Ruisheng, “Put it on; let’s go out together.”
While dressing, Lu Ruisheng said, “There are probably six or seven people, all carrying knives, but they likely don’t have firearms.”
Gu Pan nodded, “Easy to handle.” Both of them armed, they took the machete and the sleeve arrow and went out.
At that moment, the people across the door also came out, with Chen Shaonan and Chen Lang each holding a kitchen knife, ready to join the confrontation.
Gu Pan didn’t ask them to go back because such situations were the best lessons for them to grow quickly and become stronger. And they would not let those people get through the iron door anyway.
The original stairway door outside had been opened, but the iron grill door they had welded later inside was very sturdy, secured with several locks, and hadn’t been breached yet.
Seeing that someone had come out, the leader signaled his men to stop and then said to Gu Pan and the others, “You see, your door can’t stop us. We heard you’re good at getting supplies. Good things should be shared, don’t you think?”
Gu Pan laughed, “You should have robbed more. Why don’t you share what you’ve got with us first?”
Hearing Gu Pan’s response, the leader raised the machete in his hand, “The little lady is quite feisty—I like that. How about this—come with us. If you keep me happy, I’ll make sure you live the good life, much better than you have now.”
Listening to this man’s foul words, Lu Ruisheng raised his sleeve arrow and shot at the leader’s hat, saying, “Talk nonsense again, and the next arrow will be for your mouth.”
The impact of the sleeve arrow was strong, sending the leader’s hat flying off.
