Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 145 - Vigilance

Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Vigilance

Chapter 145 -145 Vigilance

At that time, although everyone in the cars was talking, they did not let down their guard. Except for the driver, everyone was watching outside, and their guns were ready for combat at any moment.

They stopped for the night earlier today, not waiting until dusk. When Gu Pan and the others parked their vehicles, they honked the horn a few times, and Doctor Chen’s car ahead also came to a halt.

Dinner was simple, just boiled noodles, but there was meat and vegetables too. Although not fresh, their nutrition had always been well balanced.

While eating, there were always people patrolling, keeping a close watch on the supplies.

Those gathered around the fire for dinner chatted idly, even bringing up the weather.

Cheng Yang looked at the sky and said, “Now that the temperature has returned to normal, could the apocalypse be coming to an end?”

Squad Leader Fang shook his head, “If the country is still sending us to the base, it means the apocalypse isn’t over. Otherwise, they should be dispatching people to different areas to organize reconstruction.”

Gu Pan agreed, “Right, the state must know more than we do, and there’s definitely a reason they’re sending us.”

Chen Shaonan furrowed his brows, “Does that mean there could still be disasters ahead? We’ve been through extreme cold, plagues, and extreme heat, so what could be next?”

This topic immediately made everyone tense. Yes, what other disasters might there be?

Chen Lang pondered deeply, “Earthquakes, typhoons, floods?”

Gu Pan said, “Even perpetual day or night isn’t out of the realm of possibility.” She was also slowly giving everyone some advance hints.

Feng Zhekai added, “Then there’s acid rain, tornadoes, pest infestations, and so on. Speaking of which, we really don’t know how to prepare for them.”

Lu Ruisheng said, “Then let’s prepare for each type of disaster. It’s best if they don’t occur, but if they do, we should be able to protect ourselves.”

Everyone agreed and began to discuss the matter.

After the sky turned dark, Squad Leader Fang, Fang Lanlan, and Guo Gang went out for reconnaissance, while Lu Ruisheng stayed to defend the supplies with the rest of the group. Meng Meng hid quietly inside a car.

Half an hour later, Squad Leader Fang returned.

He found Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, “We have a tail behind us, about two kilometers away, three vehicles, they’re already getting ready for action.”

A while later, Guo Gang came back as well, “They’ve started to set up roadblocks ahead, they’re definitely targeting us.”

Then Fang Lanlan also came back, “There’s a sniper on the hillside to the left, aiming this way.”

Hearing this, everyone understood that this was definitely no coincidence; it was a trap. Since the enemy was already preparing to ambush them, they would have to engage in battle.

Thankfully, they had the upper hand for now. Otherwise, a team with a sniper would be quite intimidating, and they would be in danger.

Lu Ruisheng said, “Panpan and I will take care of the sniper first, then Brother Guo will lead Teacher Chen and Teacher Duan to lay mines and set up defenses on the road behind. Squad Leader Fang will take the rest and guard the supplies.”

Fang Lanlan said, “The sniper is very professional, and there’s a spotter with him. If we don’t take out both at the same time, they could alert their comrades. Also, the sniper’s position is in a tree. If they spot you from the tree while you’re beneath it, there’s nowhere to hide; it’s very risky and hard to escape.”

Gu Pan assured, “Don’t worry, we have a plan. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll come back and figure out a strategy. We won’t compromise our safety.”

Squad Leader Fang said, “Alright, let’s go with that plan then. Be careful.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng acknowledged and headed toward the spot Fang Lanlan had mentioned.

At the foot of the hill, they used infrared to scan the area and found the sniper’s position still up in the trees. However, the heads of the two people were obscured by branches and leaves. Except for directly in front, it was impossible to ensure a simultaneous headshot from any other position; and if they were in front, the enemy would spot them instantly, which was even more dangerous.

Gu Pan said, “I’ll sneak up there while you set up the rifle for me here. I have Space to ensure my safety. Once we find the right moment, let’s take them both out together.”

Lu Ruisheng admitted that this was the best plan and the best coordination, “Okay, we’ll synchronize with a whistle. Just be sure to stay safe.”

Gu Pan nodded, “Mm, don’t worry, I won’t leave you to live out your days alone.” Having said that, she sprinted towards the tree, of course, approaching from behind the person.

When she got close to the tree, where there was no more cover, she walked two steps, entered Space, and then peeked through the gaps, moving forward only when it was safe.

Until she was right under the tree, she remained quietly in Space, listening to the noises outside.

The lead sniper said from above, “This is really a big job – a whole truckload of supplies. With this haul, we’ll definitely have enough for a year.”

The assistant sniper asked, “Really? We’ve hit the jackpot this time. I didn’t expect Doctor Chen to be such a good actor.”

Listening to the two men talk, Gu Pan confirmed that these people were in cahoots with Doctor Chen.

She circled around the tree, found the best position, appeared suddenly, and deliberately made a noise to draw the attention of the two men in the tree.

They hadn’t seen anyone just a moment ago, but suddenly a person appeared out of nowhere, and they were both stunned.

Gu Pan didn’t want these two to live, so she decided to scare them, making them panic so it would be easier to take them out without making a sound.

She waved at the men, then entered Space again.

One man in the tree asked the other, “Did you see a woman just now?”

The other nodded vigorously, “I did, I did. She didn’t seem like the women after the apocalypse. No, brother, that’s got to be a ghost, definitely a ghost. We’ve encountered a ghost.”

The one who asked first shuddered with fear, almost falling out of the tree, “I also think it’s a ghost. What do we do? If we go back now, the boss will definitely kill us, but I guess we’ll get killed by the ghost here, right?”

“I thought the ghost just now seemed quite friendly; it doesn’t look like it could kill anyone, right?”

“Friendly ghosts? The good ones would’ve been reincarnated by now. A young woman who became a ghost probably died of a broken heart. She didn’t commit suicide, did she? I’ve heard that the ghosts of people who commit suicide are fierce.”

“Brother, I’m scared. What do we do?”

“I’m scared too. I’m most afraid of ghosts.”

Gu Pan was speechless with frustration, thinking to herself that with the snipers being afraid of ghosts, even in an apocalyptic era where humans are scarier than ghosts, they still feared the supernatural. What had their elders filled their heads with as children?

But this was good for her; it made her task of dealing with them much easier. She appeared suddenly, found the right spot, then blew two whistles, signaling that she was targeting the person on the left. She quickly fired her gun, and at the same time, Lu Ruisheng also fired. Both men in the tree were headshotted instantly.

The two men probably never imagined they would die so suddenly, and because of their fear of ghosts at that. Who would believe such a story? But that was the fact.

Lu Ruisheng ran over, “Are you okay?”

Gu Pan nodded, “Mm, I’m fine.”

Having said that, the two confiscated the firearms and then looked through binoculars to see that the enemy had started moving closer to their position, so they quickly made their way down the hill as well.

Back at the bottom of the hill, they informed the others that the snipers were taken care of, and then they planned to find a closer sniper spot. Unlike their enemies, they didn’t have to find a place too far within their own territory, one that was suitable without fear of being discovered by their own people.
