Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 354 Seeking Death?

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were very cautious because now many people had consumed mutated food, and it was unknown what changes these people might experience.

This was something they had also discussed with Gu Ci. Gu Ci’s people checked at the door, and only those who appeared normal were allowed in.

Of course, leaders of the upper ranks, like themselves, generally did not eat or live with outsiders, and they would not even have physical contact, so there was no danger.

The Underground Entertainment City was divided into several areas. Take Gu Ci’s group for example; they lived in a separate area where food and necessities were isolated from those serving them. Even the waiters and chefs here were assigned only to them. The wealthier people were, the more cautious they became.

Gu Pan and the others were just going out to play, but they didn’t consume anything there, so it was very safe.

They first went to a bar. The place was all lit up in bright lights and vivacious colors. There wasn’t much alcohol left, but since Gu Ci had a brewmaster, they were able to produce alcohol when there were grains available. However, the drinks sold were heavily diluted with water, as grains were precious, and alcohol was even more so. It was an accepted compromise; who could pursue quality in an apocalypse?

Nowadays, many people didn’t wear masks. Mostly, people from the bases wore them for fear of being recognized by acquaintances. But visitors from other places had no such concerns, and some even wanted to make friends, so they didn’t wear masks.

Wearing masks was not a mandatory requirement, so if the customers did not like wearing them, the staff would not insist.

The two found a table on the side and ordered two drinks.

After the server brought the drinks, Gu Pan directly exchanged them with their own from the "Space," ensuring their own safety upon consumption.

As they drank, they observed the bustling, lively place, wondering how long such a scene could continue.

The conversations of a group of men at the table in front were not quiet, and Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng could overhear them.

A bald man with a dark, robust build, not wearing a mask, said, "Let’s not leave this time. We’ll find a suitable place nearby to settle down and wait for news from the base. It’s safer to act together with them."

A skinny man sitting nearby nodded in agreement, "Yeah, Brother Qiang, I noticed there are already some people settling down here. We just need to maintain some distance and find a hillside to make home."

"Everyone’s talking about heading for Mount Everest now, but we don’t have the exact coordinates, so we can only wait here. This Entertainment City is the place with the most up-to-date information," the dark and robust man, called Brother Qiang, said.

"It’s just that the costs are too high here. The boss of this Entertainment City has really made a killing. He’s even tied up with the base and gets the latest news from it. It’s safe here and there’s money to be made. The guy truly is smart," the skinny man spoke with sincerity.

However, Brother Qiang evidently didn’t like his subordinate praising others so much, "They just got lucky. We’re far from any base, with no news from above. The boss here definitely has connections with the Base Commander; otherwise do you think they could build such a big entertainment venue?"

The skinny man was adept at gauging the situation, quickly adding, "Brother Qiang is right. It’s all about fate. Without some connection, how could they have such ability? Thanks to Brother Qiang’s bravery and skills, we’re able to survive in the apocalypse."

Brother Qiang indeed liked hearing such words, "I’m not that great. There are still many things I haven’t thought through. Otherwise, we would have settled down here earlier, maybe even taken down their place."

The skinny man continued to flatter him.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng exchanged glances, murmuring a few words to each other in a soft voice.

They were very clear that Gu Ci, Lu Jianguo, and even the base leadership didn’t know each other. It was precisely because they didn’t know each other that the current relationship could be formed more easily.

They both reached a consensus: The Underground Entertainment City served as a barrier for the base, the two supporting each other; and Gu Ci would not be foolish enough to ally with outsiders to attack the base. The base had the military, which they could not defeat. As long as they remained stable, the base wouldn’t abandon their first line of defense. This mutually dependent relationship was the best.

But many people didn’t know this and generally assumed that Gu Ci and Lu Jianguo had some kind of connection.

Speaking of which, Entertainment City now actually had a connection with the base leadership, and that connection was Lu Ruisheng and Gu Pan.

The people who now held a place in the world were not necessarily scheming or clever, or even necessarily powerful; some indeed just had luck.

But no matter how you cut it, anyone who had survived to this point was talented.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng clinked their glasses together and took a sip of their drinks.

Just then, two women carrying glasses approached the table where Brother Qiang and the skinny man were sitting.

To their surprise, one of the women was Wen Zhu. She was not wearing a mask, which proved she was now employed in the Underground Entertainment City. The bar here had hostesses whose treatment was not bad; at least they didn’t have to worry about food or drink, which was better than the situation for ordinary female workers in the base. And there was the chance to attach themselves to resource-rich men, leading to more possible outcomes.

In the current situation, her choice was somewhat normal, as there were so many people in the base. If anything happened, the base wouldn’t protect everyone, and ordinary people like them might not have a good way out. But if they could get close to a resourceful man, perhaps everything would be different.

Wen Zhu carried her drink and sat down next to the dark and robust Brother Qiang, her body already leaning on his arm. She had a keen eye and could tell this man was the leader of the group, so she targeted him directly.

Brother Qiang liked the adoration and flattery from women, and he wrapped his arm around Wen Zhu, planting a kiss on her face, his words cruder than she was used to.

Wen Zhu smiled coyly, her voice soft and seductive, "Brother, you’re not a regular, are you? I haven’t seen you before."

Brother Qiang replied with a laugh, "You’ll see me often from now on." He didn’t reveal much about himself.

At this, Wen Zhu was overjoyed, "Then when you come in the future, you must look for me."

Brother Qiang’s hand was already getting frisky, "Well, you have to make me happy first."

Wen Zhu moved even closer, "Of course, I will."

After saying this, Wen Zhu felt a gaze upon her. She looked up and met Gu Pan’s eyes. novelbuddy-cσ๓

She stiffened for a moment. She liked least of all to be seen by Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng. Why were these two always popping up? Why had they come here again? It was so annoying. Why couldn’t the couple just stay in the base?

Noticing her reaction, Brother Qiang asked, "What’s wrong, little sister?"

Wen Zhu quickly averted her gaze, pretending to be calm, "Nothing, just saw someone familiar."

Brother Qiang burst into laughter, "A familiar face? That’s good. If they’re as beautiful as you, call them over to join us. I can afford to take care of three or five girls like you."

Suddenly struck by a thought, Wen Zhu’s expression darkened.
