Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Human Sentiments
Chapter 41 -41 Human Sentiments
Everyone knew that emergency aid was not given to the poor, so no one objected to accommodating Dong Mingyue for the past few days.
Since everyone trusted Gu Pan, and she was not one to act without rules, she wouldn’t have let anyone stay if she wasn’t sure it was safe, especially not in apartment 902 instead of the seventh floor.
Once Gu Pan was sure that there were no objections, she took Dong Mingyue to the neighboring apartment 902, just the two of them.
Once in 902, Gu Pan rifled through Li Aixue’s wardrobe, found a down jacket, and had Dong Mingyue put it on.
After changing her clothes, Dong Mingyue looked at Gu Pan and promised, “Panpan, if I act foolish again, let me freeze and starve to death.”
After saying that, she took Gu Pan’s hand, “Thank you for taking me in at this time. I will never forget this life-saving grace. Rest assured, once I am capable of fighting them, I will take back my house and survive the apocalypse with my abilities. You’ve always helped me, and I hope one day I can repay the favor.”
Hearing Dong Mingyue speak this way made Gu Pan laugh, “Now I can rest easy. Before, I really thought you were beyond help.”
Dong Mingyue scratched her head, “Looking back now, I also think I was beyond help. Fortunately, I’m still alive, and I’ve come to my senses.”
“You can stay here for the next few days. The lock is broken, I’ll get a new one fixed for you in a bit, and I’ll bring some food. Our building is still very safe because we killed someone before, and the whole neighborhood knows it, so ordinary people don’t dare to come in.”
“Killed someone?” Hearing such a straightforward expression of killing shocked Dong Mingyue for a moment, but then she resignedly accepted it. Hadn’t she seen enough dead bodies herself? Hadn’t she almost been killed today? It wasn’t with a knife or a gun, but what was the difference from killing?
She continued, “In the apocalypse, killing is normal. Maybe I’ll kill that beast Wang Bin someday too.”
Gu Pan smiled, “Good, now that you understand all this, I feel relieved. I’ll go home and get some stuff, then come back up. You clean up here first.”
Dong Mingyue agreed, and Gu Pan left, calling Lu Ruisheng to go back home with her.
The apocalypse really tests humanity and can change a person at any time. That was why Gu Pan didn’t easily trust others; in the apocalypse, many people could change their values over one incident. So, she had to be cautious, only collaborating within a safe boundary, and couldn’t fully expose her back to anyone but her husband, Lu Ruisheng.
When they got home, Gu Pan took a gun and a hundred bullets out of the Space. The gun and bullets were 3D printed by Zhuang Jie, completely different from those they retrieved from the club. This was also to ensure that the resources given to her friends were not from their communal resources.
She also took some charcoal, some food, and a door lock, and then they went back to 902.
Lu Ruisheng installed the lock while Gu Pan taught Dong Mingyue about the principles and use of the gun.
Today they also couldn’t go to the second-hand dealer, but that could wait another couple of days. These next two days, they had to urgently train Dong Mingyue.
Over the following days, Dong Mingyue stayed with the group. Gu Pan taught her many survival skills needed for the apocalypse, such as lock-picking, finding food, what essential supplies to take, and how to protect oneself when necessary.
Having confronted life and death, Dong Mingyue truly changed. She listened seriously to Gu Pan’s instructions, sleeping only a few hours each day and spending the rest practicing.
She also realized that getting revenge was not the end; after getting revenge, she had to protect that home, safeguard her parents, and help them survive the apocalypse.
She understood that Gu Pan’s team was all young and skilled, and she couldn’t burden them by bringing her elderly parents. She needed to find a survival method suitable for her to take care of her parents.
Gu Pan had helped her enough; during the apocalypse, providing her with food and weapons was a favor that couldn’t be repaid with words alone. Perhaps she had no ability now, but when she was able, she would definitely repay her.
These days, watching Gu Pan’s small team, she also thought about how to form alliances when she returned, how to secure a place for herself in that team. She had to train even harder when she got back.
A week later, Dong Mingyue approached Gu Pan, “Panpan, I think I can go back now. Guns and bullets are truly valuable, but I can’t leave without them. I’ll use them sparingly.”
Gu Pan nodded, “Okay, this return is also a new beginning for you; take good care of your parents and live well.”
“I will,” Dong Mingyue replied, “you and President Lu too must take care. Once the apocalypse is over, we should get together and have a big celebration.”
“Indeed, I hope that day comes soon.”
“I’ll go to Room 901 to say goodbye to everyone; they have all been taking good care of me recently.”
“Okay.”
Gu Pan took Dong Mingyue to Room 901 and announced that she was leaving that day.
Everyone asked her to wait for a moment, saying they had gifts for her, and then they went home to get them.
Soon, everyone returned with something in their hands.
Chen Shaonan’s family provided something quite high-tech—an upgraded anti-wolf spray that could instantly stun people at close range. They asked her to take one, as it could save her life in critical moments. Of course, they also gave her a modified dust mask with a special filter layer to prevent her from being poisoned.
Cheng Yang gave her a dagger that could be kept in her boot, also as a life-saving tool during a final escape.
Feng Zhekai and his wife brought some first-aid medicines, which, spoken of, were also life-saving.

Dong Mingyue, looking at these items, had tears in her eyes, she bowed deeply to everyone, “Thank you all. I… really appreciate it. I don’t know what else to say but thank you.”
Gu Pan patted her shoulder, “Then there’s no need to say anything—just live well. Let us know that you’re doing well later, so it’s not in vain that everyone helped you.”
Dong Mingyue nodded vigorously, wiping her tears.
Gu Pan handed her the bag that Lu Ruisheng had brought, which contained some essentials and food.
Dong Mingyue took it, “I know. I’ll be very careful. I won’t carry all supplies with me. I remember everything you’ve said.”
“Alright, then I’ll walk you downstairs.” Gu Pan did not let everyone else follow and saw Dong Mingyue out alone.
At the bottom of the building, Dong Mingyue hugged Gu Pan tightly, “Panpan, we must both survive, survive until this apocalypse is over.”
Gu Pan nodded, “Yes, we definitely will.”
Dong Mingyue took a deep breath, not allowing herself to cry, as the tears would freeze in the cold and damage her skin.
Then, she patted Gu Pan on the back, said nothing further, and left carrying her bag.
Gu Pan watched her walk away, then went back upstairs, found Lu Ruisheng, and both rode a snowmobile to follow Dong Mingyue to her home.
Since it was Dong Mingyue’s first time potentially having to kill someone, it was better to provide some protection—after all, it was her first time.
Of course, if she ended up being subdued by Wang Bin and his mother again, it really wasn’t necessary to save her, because saving her once wouldn’t mean saving her forever. If that were to happen, they would just take the weapons back, otherwise it would be wasted, and though they weren’t short on weapons, they couldn’t afford to waste them either.
