Chapter 120 -120 Different Places, Different Situations

But now things were different, Space had expanded, and it could expand further, so there was no fear of taking in more items.

And they had Chen Shaonan, the physicist teacher, who could solve any problem that came up, so there was no risk of collecting a bunch of bulky items that would end up unused.

These items, which would be neither renewable nor recreatable in the coming years, could bring them high status if they went to the base.

Even if they were not needed during the polar night, there was room in Space, so they could just store them and see when they would come in handy, as more preparation was always better.

Moreover, in the villa district where they now lived, combined with Chen Shaonan’s knowledge of physics, might also be applicable to households, so they would not need to rely on everyone for electricity.

The two happily gathered all the planks, equipment, and components into Space. Originally empty, Space suddenly filled up, suggesting that they needed to exchange more gold and upgrade Space.

Of course, now that they had more items, they were also more experienced in stacking them, saving a good deal of Space in the process. Plus, acquiring the cruise ship was now essential, and it would save Space; they just needed to allow for a larger area and find the right time to visit a coastal city.

They ended up staying in that place until daybreak, so they did not hurry on their way but rested there instead.

In the evening, they moved on to the next city.

Upon reaching the entrance to the next city, they still switched to motorcycles, but as soon as they entered the urban area, something felt off.

Many people were walking out of the city, carrying big and small bags, leaning on sticks, and their faces looked frightening.

Gu Pan had a bad feeling, and after seeing a woman vomiting and fainting not far away, she quickly urged Lu Ruisheng to turn around and leave.

They walked a long distance before stopping, both thinking the same thing and blurting out in unison, “Plague.”

Gu Pan felt a chill, “Fortunately, we didn’t delay for too long at the plank place. We entered the city while there was still evening light; otherwise, if we’d entered in the dark, who knows what would have happened.”

Lu Ruisheng let out a long sigh, “I didn’t expect there to still be plagues now. Let’s go back for now.”

“Indeed, who knows what lies ahead. Let’s turn back and find a place to sleep once it gets warmer.”

“That’s good, too. It’s more comforting to keep our distance.”

Nowadays was truly not like ancient times. Back then, there were government offices; dead bodies or trash would be incinerated. Now, if no one took the initiative to do these things, plagues could break out at any time.

The good part was that each city was far away from the other, with no cars, so the contagion wouldn’t spread so quickly.

The bad part was that if you contracted the plague, there was hardly any chance of survival because there were no doctors or medicine.

They drove back in the car, since it was cooler at night, they just headed straight back. Too much was unknown ahead, and they didn’t want to stray too far from their base camp.

Return travel was much faster than the journey there, but for safety, they didn’t rush and stayed on guard for potential robbers along the way.

Unexpectedly, they stumbled upon a gas station full of fuel on the road, which was far from the cities on either side, making its unnoticed state normal.

This place was in a forest. Although many plants had died from the heat, they still provided some shade, so there was no explosion or spontaneous combustion.

Gu Pan stored all the fuel from this station in Space, which was a welcome surprise, almost as exhilarating as expanding the area of Space.

After securing the fuel, they continued on their way back.

Two days later, they finally returned.

After passing the highway entrance, the population became sparse, so they switched to an electric scooter.

Unexpectedly, even riding the electric scooter, they were still targeted. They hadn’t gone far when suddenly a large net dropped from the sky.

Gu Pan’s first reaction to this inexplicable danger was to subconsciously take Lu Ruisheng into “Space,” along with the electric scooter they were riding.

At this moment, the people setting the ambush were as if they had seen a ghost.

The leader was a middle-aged woman, dark and robust. She used to slaughter pigs, so she wasn’t so afraid of killing. Since the apocalypse began, she had formed a small group, but they lacked heavy weapons; they only dared to rob those who were less in number, avoiding larger groups.

Now, the middle-aged woman stared at the empty net, mouth agape, and asked her followers, “Did we catch anyone just now?”

The followers nodded repeatedly, “We did, two people riding an electric scooter.”

The middle-aged woman examined the net, “Where are they?”

Her henchmen were still perplexed, “They, they just disappeared.”

An older man nearby quickly said, “We must have encountered something unclean, guaranteed not humans. We should leave quickly to avoid being kidnapped.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng exchanged looks. Something unclean? Not human… How did the two of us become this?

The middle-aged woman never believed in superstitions. She, a person whose hands were stained with the blood of pigs for many years, how could she believe in this? But now, believing was not an option. People couldn’t just disappear into thin air; it must be a ghost. Never having seen a ghost before, she actually encountered one in the apocalypse.

She could only tell her people, “Let’s pull back, we won’t come here anymore, it’s unclean.”

Saying so, the group abandoned their net and ran away.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng made sure there was no one outside before they left “Space,” laughing at the irony that they had been mistaken for ghosts.

Joking and laughing, they rode the electric scooter toward home. After living in this place for several months, it pretty much counted as home.

Moreover, they were indeed looking forward to seeing the neighbors who had been with them since the apocalypse.

The pair stopped at the secret base where supplies were stored and stealthily went inside. They couldn’t just return without a cover.

Gu Pan took a large trolley out of “Space,” on which there were some solar panels and parts for Chen Shaonan to start working on, followed by some food.

They weren’t short on grains, but it was rare for them to eat meat, and fresh vegetables and fruits were even harder to come by.

So, this time, Gu Pan packed extra meat and vegetables, planning to say they were exchanged in another city, where a cold storage existed with its power station, which still had all these things; they were just expensive.

In the apocalypse, just about anything you said could pass since there was a complete lack of communication, and others had no way to verify. Besides, what exists today might be gone tomorrow, so nothing was surprising.

They then took out some new clothes to put in the trolley; everyone was wearing clothes that were too worn.

The two of them walked back to the housing complex; it was midnight, the most active time for people to come and go.

When they entered, the guard of the Inner Circle was quite surprised; they hadn’t seen them for many days. The boss had sent people to look for them, and unexpectedly, without any leads being found, they had returned.

Moreover, their trolley was so large and full of supplies, it was obvious they had traveled far and found good stuff. It seemed that these people really were not simple. The guards also fantasized about what it would be like to follow such people, but unfortunately, they weren’t that lucky. Being able to eat to their fill was already quite good; they couldn’t ask for more.

Unaware of the guards’ thoughts, Gu Pan and her company hastened their steps, not heading home first but to Cheng Yang’s place.
