Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 349: New Idea

Gu Pan thought for a moment and understood Lu Jianguo’s concerns, so she said, "Dad, why don’t you come back for meals during this period?"

Lu Ruisheng also agreed with Gu Pan’s suggestion and said to Lu Jianguo, "Right, dad, come home for meals. Our home has plenty, and we brought back some more this time. We still have stuff outside, so we’ll feel better knowing you’re eating with us."

Lu Jianguo nodded, "Alright, I’ll come back for meals." After saying that, he added, "The animals you brought back do show mutations, but not severe ones, so the base is keeping them in a safe place for now. If it’s proven that they’re safe to eat after certain treatments, they might come in handy."

Gu Pan was aware that this possibility wasn’t very high, and even if it was said to be safe, she wouldn’t dare to eat it.

But she couldn’t say that; all she could say was, "I hope they won’t attack humans."

Lu Jianguo nodded, "Hmm, the place where they’re kept has high-level security measures; there won’t be any danger."

Gu Pan and the others weren’t worried about this because Lu Jianguo had always been very meticulous in his work.

After talking for a while, Lu Jianguo was anxious to get back to his unit because he had to give the blueprints to his subordinates as soon as possible so they could start looking for fish that hadn’t mutated.

Over the next few days, the weather remained gloomy, and the base didn’t openly discuss the mutated animals and fish.

But the news of animal mutations still leaked, truly panicking people. Would they no longer be able to eat meat?

However, at that moment, the base’s broadcast sounded again, "Residents of No.7 Base, residents of No.7 Base, please do not panic. Our base’s quails are breeding, and soon we will have quail eggs to eat ..."

Although the news wasn’t certain, it served as a reassurance for the people of the base.

After discussing it, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng decided to give the base thirty more goose Breeding Eggs. Geese were larger, and if they could be raised properly, they might solve a big problem.

Because, through Lu Jianguo, they knew that the existing quails at the base had not bred more than 300 due to climate, feed, and other reasons. Many of the eggs laid by the quails couldn’t hatch, and with thousands of people at the base, less than 300 quails simply weren’t enough. Starting to sell or distribute them rashly would cause unfairness and lead to unrest. Therefore, the base planned to wait a few more months until they could ensure an egg for every person every three days before starting to sell or distribute them.

As for the possibility of distributing a few small quails to each household for them to breed on their own, it was very slim. Because even with professional staff from the base using technological means, breeding was not going smoothly. The likelihood of individuals successfully raising them was too small; breeding and husbandry would have to continue at the base.

This was also why Gu Pan didn’t dare to hand out more Breeding Eggs lightly. In the current environment, breeding was difficult, and handing them out might waste them, but if they didn’t, the base was now in a crisis. Those people were still alive, and although many might be eliminated in the future, they couldn’t just watch the living starve to death. So, they decided to take out thirty goose eggs to significantly ease the current problem. As for the future, they would wait and see.

This time they didn’t plan to go directly to the base’s government district but instead decided to discuss this matter privately with Lu Jianguo. They planned to donate anonymously because having such items seemed unrealistic now, and they didn’t want to arouse suspicion. It was better to hand them over to Lu Jianguo. As the Base Commander, his explanation for their source would be more convincing, and even if he didn’t disclose it, simply bringing them in would leave no one daring to question it.

Previously, they hadn’t provided these to the base partly because they thought the military could go hunting for a while or capture some livestock to keep. Although there weren’t many animals left, there were fewer people, so the military still managed to bring something back each time.

His fertilized eggs were meant to wait until the very last moment, until the journey to Mount Everest, as that would be of the greatest use to humanity.

But with the current mutations in animals, and without a method to counteract the mutated ones, many people would die. That’s why they made the decision to take out some eggs for breeding now, to maintain the base’s basic survival. This was something they had to do as normal humans.

That day, after Lu Jianguo got off work and went home, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng detailed their plans to him.

Lu Jianguo was taken aback when he heard what the two said, "No way, you can really get this? Non-mutated ones?"

Gu Pan replied, "Dad, we got these on our last outing using some methods. We’re not sure about the hatch rate, but it should be possible."

"Goose eggs? Fertilized goose eggs? Thirty?" Lu Jianguo could hardly believe his ears, even though he knew of his son and daughter-in-law’s capabilities, he was still surprised.

Gu Pan nodded, "Yes, fertilized eggs, thirty of them, right here at home." Saying so, she went to the bedroom, carried out a box, and placed it in front of Lu Jianguo.

After Lu Jianguo opened it, he took a deep breath, "Did you bring these back together, and they agree with your decision?"

Lu Ruisheng said, "We got these through our own channels, it has nothing to do with our teammates. Dad, don’t spread the word, don’t let anyone know it’s from us. Just come up with a way to say you got them yourself, I believe it will be more convincing if you say it."

Indeed, these had been taken out from their Space, and they were their own channels, unrelated to anyone else.

Lu Jianguo sighed, "I’ll say I got them from Beijing." He understood what his son and daughter-in-law meant; suddenly bringing these out would indeed be astonishing, and it wasn’t good to be the center of attention. freewebnoveℓ.com

He couldn’t help but scold them, "Really, you two, don’t know what to say."

Lu Ruisheng said with a smile, "Then don’t say anything."

Lu Jianguo agreed, "Then I need to think of a way to go out for a day to make this source look normal."

Lu Ruisheng said, "Be careful then."

Lu Jianguo replied, "Hmm, I’m leading the troops out, don’t worry."

After agreeing, Lu Jianguo left with the eggs.

Gu Pan looked at Lu Jianguo departing and said to Lu Ruisheng, "I hope these will help. Originally these were to be used at the very end, but I didn’t expect such a turn of events."

Lu Ruisheng said, "With the current situation, taking them out doesn’t mean a loss. If we relocate, the military will bring some to breed at Mount Everest."

"True, at least everyone around us is alive right now; we should do what we can."

"We’ll find it hard to lead the team on long journeys in the future. If mutated food affects people, then many outside might have already been affected."

"I wonder what will happen to those who eat these mutated animals."

"We might find out soon enough."

Their voices trailed off as they spoke, because the reality was painful. If the mutations had effects on humans, that would be just more bad news for those whose lifespans had already been shortened by the apocalypse.

But there were many things they couldn’t change. After all, it had been more than four years since the apocalypse, and the fact that they were still alive was very fortunate.
