Chapter 134 -134: Finally News from the Base
Gu Pan really couldn’t help but laugh at Lin Feifei’s words, “No, Lin Feifei, are you actually brain-dead? Now that you’ve got resources, go munch on some brain-dead films, they’ll do wonders for your condition.”
Lin Feifei, now with a backer since she had given her first time to Li Meng by her side, looked at him with grievance, “Brother Mong, she’s bullying me. Help me teach them a lesson.”
Li Meng wasn’t foolish; he knew about the trade between these two people and the boss, and knew they were not to be offended.
At first, when he heard Lin Feifei and Gu Pan talking, he thought Lin Feifei was reminding them about Lin Mengmeng’s issues, because during the past two days he got to know Lin Feifei, he always felt this girl was gentle and adorable.
But when he heard these words, cold sweat broke out. Was this woman a tiger or something? Who did she not dare to offend?
Though he had just slept with Lin Feifei, and felt that this woman was well-maintained post-apocalypse and was a rich second generation before, he did feel a sense of conquest.
But he could not mess up the boss’s affairs because of a woman, could he? Wouldn’t that be courting death?
He turned around and slapped Lin Feifei across the face, “You woman, how can you be so clueless, offending just anyone?” This kind of woman was nothing but a toy for him; how could he let her affect his position?
After saying that, Li Meng turned to Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, “I’m really sorry, the two of you, this woman is clueless. Please don’t stoop to her level.”
Gu Pan hadn’t expected this man to be so ungentlemanly. Lin Feifei’s mouth was bleeding, indicating a very heavy slap.
Anyway, since Lin Feifei had been hit, and she had received such an expensive painting from Old Master Lin, she didn’t want to be too harsh on Lin Feifei; to tell the truth, she was also a bit tired of dealing with Lin Feifei. Given whom she was with now, how could she expect any good days ahead? This man obviously had a tendency for violence; sooner or later, she couldn’t avoid being beaten.
So she said to Li Meng, “From now on, keep your woman in line. If she barks in front of me again, I won’t be polite.”
Li Meng, upon hearing this, let out a sigh of relief, “Thank you both for not taking it to heart. I’ll take this idiot away right now.”
Though he was angry, how should he put it? After all, finding a woman like that post-apocalypse wasn’t easy; he still didn’t want to discard her just after using her a few times.
So he hurriedly said good words to Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, bowed, and then, grabbing Lin Feifei’s arm, took her away.
Lin Feifei was still baffled; she didn’t understand why Li Meng had slapped her, but she could see he was angry. She didn’t dare to go against Li Meng at this time, so she could only let him drag her away.
Lu Ruisheng took Gu Pan’s hand, “We’ve accepted the painting, now it’s not suitable to be too harsh on Lin Feifei.”
Gu Pan laughed, “That’s right, if it were before the apocalypse, that painting could buy a courtyard in Beijing. Even though it’s post-apocalypse, it still holds value. Considering this, let’s not hold it against her. And your man doesn’t truly care about her either. She will suffer in the future. If I don’t lift a finger, someone else will take care of it for me, saving me the effort.”
“That’s true. Let’s take a walk ahead; the air is better there.”
With that, the two of them walked on.
Of course, Lin Feifei hadn’t caused any real harm to anyone; she was just annoying. They didn’t wish to bother over someone so stupid; it was a waste of time and unnecessary. Besides, during their downtime, they could watch the drama and add some amusement to the boring apocalypse.
Over there, Li Meng dragged Lin Feifei to a secluded place, grabbed her by the collar, “Are you sick in the head? Who do you think you are to offend everyone? I warn you, never provoke these two again, or I’ll kill you.”
Lin Feifei looked at Li Meng in surprise, “Why?” She truly didn’t understand.
“They have connections with our boss, and that’s all I can say, so stop causing trouble for me. Otherwise, if I get kicked out, you won’t have an easy time either,” Li Mong warned.

Lin Feifei could only nod; she even forgot to cry, too frightened by what was happening. No matter how much resentment she harbored inside, she had to suppress it at the moment.
She couldn’t understand why Gu Pan was so fortunate, why she drew so much attention, enjoying good food and the comforts of life, maintaining her pre-apocalypse figure—all these people defending her, why? Why was everything so different from what she had imagined?
The apocalypse, the apocalypse, she really hated it. If it hadn’t been for the apocalypse, she would still be high and mighty. This apocalypse changed everything. Why were those who used to look up to her now trampling over her head? It was infuriating.
Of course, these thoughts of hers were unknown to Gu Pan, nor did they matter. In the apocalypse, everyone was thinking about how to survive. Lin Feifei, with her foolish thoughts, was truly a rare specimen, bound to doom herself sooner or later.
In the later part of the night, Chen Shaonan and his group returned with some materials they had bartered for, bringing back medicine and some machine parts, which they got in exchange for food.
They came across these parts by chance, and of course, they weren’t the solar energy parts that were extremely hard to come by. Most likely, those would have to be made by Chen Shaonan himself. The parts they did find today seemed useful for future needs, and since they were affordable, they exchanged for them.
Their trip hadn’t been smooth; they encountered an ambush and a bit of conflict, but their opponents, who weren’t tough adversaries, fled at the sight of their guns.
Chen Shaonan and his companions didn’t pursue; they understood the principle of not chasing an enemy to the brink. Also, in the absence of Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng’s command, they prioritized self-preservation.
After doing a debrief, everyone went off to rest.
But as soon as the morning light broke and Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were just about to sleep, Cheng Yang and Chen Lang started gossiping over the radio.
They had seen Lin Ran and his daughter Lin Feifei arguing while they were out exercising. Lin Ran accused Lin Feifei of being shameless, and Lin Feifei said she wouldn’t give the resources she acquired to Lin Ran, only to her mother.
But Lin Ran argued that Song Yiru wouldn’t accept Lin Feifei’s tainted goods either—even preferring to starve.
Upon hearing this, Gu Pan remembered that she hadn’t told everyone about the encounter with Lin Feifei the day before. She hadn’t considered it important, but the story had apparently continued, so she recounted the previous night’s events with Lin Feifei to everyone.
Now everything was clear; Lin Feifei had slept with someone for resources, leaning on men for support. Lin Ran and Song Yiru disapproved, which led to the dispute.
There wasn’t much anyone could say about it; they just gossiped a bit. Everyone enjoyed watching Lin Feifei’s foolish antics each day, like following a drama series—after all, the apocalypse could be so dull, and there was some enjoyment to be found in someone making a fool of themselves.
During the day, the routine was still to sleep and to listen to the radio broadcast first thing upon waking.
Amidst the crackling static, Gu Pan thought she heard something different, a voice both familiar and inspiring. She quickly turned up the volume.
Lu Ruisheng also sensed the change, pausing his work to quietly join Gu Pan, listening intently to the sound coming from the radio.
In a strong and clear voice, the female broadcaster announced, “The nation has never abandoned its people. Since the beginning of the apocalypse, ten bases have been established across the country. The bases are nearing completion, and in three days, specific coordinates for the bases will be broadcasted. Those wishing to join the bases can use these coordinates to locate the nearest one. As the bases are still being improved, the first group of joiners must have the ability to assist with construction. The specific requirements will be announced in three days.”
The broadcast continued to repeat, the voice reminiscent of the pre-apocalypse news, providing a reassuring sense of stability.
