Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 393 Transfer

These beautiful, tranquil moments passed quickly, and three days later, Fang Lanlan returned to work due to the relocation. As someone responsible for protecting important materials and technology, she could not afford to take many days off.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went out again to check on the progress of Gu Ci’s group.

When they arrived, Gu Ci and his team were watching people canning. The fruits were not fully mature, but they had to start early, otherwise, it was impossible to store so much fresh fruit.

Upon seeing Gu Pan and his group, Gu Ci and Chen Dasheng took them to see the prepared supplies in the storeroom.

Seeing these items, both of them felt relieved.

They then asked about their departure time.

Now, it was decided that they would move together with Gu Pan’s group.

This time was different from when they built Seventh Base, since anyone could go to Seventh Base due to its location, but Mount Everest wasn’t easy to locate or access by just anyone. Moreover, without the base infrastructure in place, Gu Ci’s group would not be able to start building immediately upon arrival. This construction had to be initiated by national professionals, and only then could those who followed participate. Hence, they could only follow later.

Once everything was ready, they just waited to set off.

However, during these days, the base had already started to descend into chaos. Once the news spread, it became uncontrollable.

When Gu Pan and others returned to the base, they wanted to visit Lu Jianguo, but as they approached the entrance, they saw many base residents crying on the streets of the government district, claiming that the base had abandoned them and broken its previous promises to protect everyone.

Seeing the chaos outside, the leaders could no longer remain absent.

A leader who was staying behind, also the next Base Commander of No.7 Base, decided to stay after Lu Jianguo’s group left, betting on the slim chance of survival.

He was no longer young, a veteran, who had dedicated his life to the people. With his wife and children already gone, he volunteered to stay behind because Lu Jianguo and others were younger and could be more useful at Mount Everest. He felt that at his age, it was better to stay and stabilize the morale of those remaining as his final contribution to the country.

The next Base Commander stood on a platform with a megaphone, "I know what everyone is thinking, but the base has not abandoned you. There are just too many uncertainties now, so the base needs to develop in different directions. I will be the next Base Commander, and will protect our No.7 Base with you all."

A resident, unwilling to accept, said, "So are you also abandoned, just speaking nicely, or maybe you’ll leave later, just pacifying us for now?"

The next Base Commander, with a reassuring tone in his eyes, answered, "No, no one in the apocalypse can predict the future, so no choice is necessarily a dead end. While the relocation might seem safer, if the anticipated disaster does not occur, our current base has more potential for development."

"Nice words, but why are all the important leaders and equipment being relocated? Isn’t it because the chance of survival for No.7 Base is small? If possible, who wouldn’t want to go to a safer place?" Another person questioned.

The next Base Commander, still composed, replied, "Those who are going first are also going to build. Just like the early days of No.7 Base, once it stabilizes and we confirm that it’s safer there, we will gradually transfer people, or people here might even move there themselves."

These words somewhat stabilized many people’s hearts. The same person, now puzzled, asked, "Really? Do we really still have a chance to go?"

Lu Jianguo also stepped onto the platform, "Because of the distance and unpredictable future disasters, the base cannot make guarantees now. But I assure you, if there’s a chance, I will make sure everyone has the opportunity to survive."

Seeing Lu Jianguo, everyone felt a bit more reassured, and there was a renewed sense of hope.

It took a while to pacify the crowd. Deep down, everyone was trying to find a balance for their minds. It was clear that they were being abandoned, but they still hoped for a glimmer of hope.

Watching this scene, Gu Pan felt distress because if the sea level doesn’t rise, then there would be no need to relocate. But if the greatest disaster, a rise in sea level, does occur, then these people wouldn’t have the chance to go to Mount Everest. However, if the Mount Everest Base gets built well and can accommodate more people, then indeed, they could come back to transport more people, just hoping if the sea level rises, it happens later, smaller, or slower, giving more people a chance to survive.

These were only thoughts, as no one could be certain. Now, the focus was simply to strive for the continuity of the human race.

The day before departure, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went out and brought back half a truck of food since they had been telling their companions about the hidden supplies over the years. The amount they brought back was also realistic considering their consumption over the years.

There were ten bags of rice, ten bags of flour, three cans of oil, some cured meat and sausages, and that was all.

Gu Pan didn’t want to take out too much, to avoid envy, but too little could be insufficient for the journey ahead. Taking out more later could arouse suspicion.

When they brought these back, Xiao Lin and others were shocked. During these times, it was unthinkable to see so much fine grain.

Gu Pan gave Xiao Lin half a pound of rice, packed in a ration bag, a token of their years of friendship, worthy of a taste.

In recent years, Xiao Lin had indeed benefited a lot from them, having had more to eat and drink than most.

After expressing thanks, they let them pass.

When Gu Pan and the others took the supplies home, everyone there was surprised.

Chen Shaonan couldn’t believe it, "No way, after all this time and all we’ve eaten, they should have been gone. How come there’s still some left, and preserved so well?"

Gu Pan explained, "We also managed to get some hidden supplies afterward, anyway, these are ours; the base won’t forcibly take our supplies. These are personal and we will carry them with us."

Cheng Yang asked, "Sis, are we driving ourselves then?" Since their supplies, like protective gear and weapons, were more than most households had, they could retrieve their weapons once they were out.

Gu Pan nodded, "Yes, we’ll drive our own car. We feel more secure looking after our own things, and we have fuel."

Lu Xuerong asked, "But isn’t it uneconomical for us to pay for our own fuel?"

Gu Pan smiled and answered, "We’re not all driving separately. Ruisheng and I will drive a car carrying the food and supplies, and you guys can ride with the base. That way, only our vehicle carrying food and supplies will consume our own fuel." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

The group agreed with this arrangement.
