Chapter 159 -159: Return with Full Load
The two followed the direction and timing of the fat man’s departure to estimate their position, entered the Space to fetch two Black Cloaks to wear, masked their faces, and followed the same path.
Arriving at a complex commercial street, they searched the area and saw a metal door guarded by two men holding guns.
The two exchanged a look; this must be the place.
Together they approached, one from each side, and swiftly knocked out the guards without making a sound.
Afterward, they knocked on the door, and someone came out from inside, “Is San Lvzi back?”
Lu Ruisheng was quick, precise, and ruthless, immediately knocking the man down as well.
Then the two sneaked into the room and quietly peered toward the direction of the noise.
Inside, a group was playing mahjong, surrounded by smoke and drink, completely oblivious to their entrance.
Both donned gas masks and then pulled out a Smoke Bomb laced with sleeping drugs, throwing it into the room; they had no intention of a head-on fight, choosing the most optimal method instead.

Soon, everyone in the room collapsed.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, equipped with a full set of gas masks, were not at all concerned. They entered and began to search for supplies.
Whatever they found, they stored in the Space: food, gold bars, antiques, paintings, medical supplies, weapons – it was indeed a rich haul.
They weren’t ones to rob indiscriminately, but since the others had attacked first, they couldn’t be blamed.
After a round of looting, they heard noises outside. The two quickly threw another regular Smoke Bomb and slipped away amidst the billowing smoke.
When the fat man returned with injuries, he was infuriated to find his lair raided, nearly dying of anger.
On discovering even the boss had fainted, he had no choice but to hurry over and try to wake him.
By then, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were already far away on a motorcycle.
Reaching a safe location, they parked and entered the Space; they were truly astonished. They didn’t know how much gold they had stashed away, but the Space now measured 23,020 square meters.
What surprised them even more, they had acquired a lot of gasoline and diesel, more than they had used for the plane round trip; it was indeed a huge profit.
Originally, they had planned to hit several trading posts today, but this one alone turned out to be so bountiful.
To avoid any mishaps, they decided not to visit other places and drove directly to the seaside, collected the luxury yacht, and planned to return the next day at dawn.
Reaching the seaside, it was too dark to proceed that night, so they decided to sleep in the Space first, setting an early alarm to get up for the big day.
They had a good sleep that night and woke up as dawn broke.
Looking out at the sea, none of the vessels were what they sought until they spotted a cruise ship farther away. Thankfully, this port was the largest in the north; it was normal for there to be a cruise ship.
They drove the yacht toward it and, upon reaching the cruise ship, found it was smaller than expected. Having never been on one and only checking the largest specifications during their research, they found this one had only 12 floors, but it was still enough for them.
The cruise ship was far from the Shallow Sea Area, and absolutely no one would live on it—with natural disasters rampant, who would entrust their life to a cruise ship in the deep sea? That was akin to waiting for death. People were accustomed to having their feet on the ground; it was more reassuring to be on land.
Of course, to be safe, they still went aboard to check it thoroughly, making sure there were no signs of habitation before they finally eased their minds.
Their visit onboard allowed them to truly witness the luxury of the cruise ship, which was eye-opening.
Gu Pan first moved the space-hogging items into the cruise ship, then stowed the cruise ship into Space, saving a lot of room. After sorting that out, there was still plenty of space left.
After storing the cruise ship, the two quickly took a motorboat back to shore, trying to get back earlier.
On the distant coast, some homeless people watched the large yacht suddenly vanish into thin air, all stunned. But then, considering the apocalypse and all, nothing seemed too strange.
Even so, trying to comfort themselves, they still found it weird, really weird. Their own consolations couldn’t ease their minds. Were they going mad, or had the world gone mad?
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were unaware of these thoughts. After returning to the shore and getting everything in order, they took the opportunity to pick up another set of yachts, and then they drove the off-road vehicle out of the city.
Once out of town, in a deserted open area, they boarded the plane again, returning home with a full haul.
On their way back, Gu Pan was humming a tune, genuinely happy, having thought the trip would consume a lot of fuel, but instead, they made quite a profit.
Lu Ruisheng was also very happy, and the two joyously returned to the spot where they could park the plane.
Arriving around noon, the two had lunch outdoors. The weather was neither cold nor hot, with a hint of green emerging from the ground, and Gu Pan took the opportunity to take a few outdoor photos as a memento.
Seeing there was still time, and with a mountain and a vast forest nearby, they decided to check it out for potential prey. If they were lucky to bag something like rabbits or wild chickens, they could have an extra meal that night. After all, they were already burning fuel, and it was best to use less whenever possible. Now was the time to be frugal and use resources wisely. With the cruise ship safely stored in Space, it wasn’t going anywhere in a hurry, so there was no rush to return immediately. The priority was to save time.
So, they decided to head up the mountain.
Buoyed by their good mood, everything felt great, and they cheerfully ventured into the woods.
This mountain was particularly large, with deep forests untouched by human development, so once they entered, there was no path to follow.
They changed into a set of camouflage clothing and boots and continued forward with their crossbows in hand.
They preferred hunting with crossbows; guns caused too much damage. A rabbit shot by a gun would lose a lot, with the meat blown away, which wasn’t cost-effective. Furthermore, bullets couldn’t be reused, while crossbow arrows could.
They saw nothing at first, so they kept moving deeper into the forest. After half an hour, they finally spotted game—a wild chicken pecking at insects.
Lu Ruisheng raised his hand and fired an arrow straight at the wild chicken, striking its neck with precision.
The chicken, resilient in its struggle for life, managed to run for over a dozen meters with a crooked neck before collapsing.
Gu Pan went over to pick up the game and put it into Space, then smiled at Lu Ruisheng, “You’re still the expert.”
Lu Ruisheng also smiled, “If I were good for nothing, how would you have fallen for me?”
“That’s the truth,” Gu Pan quipped in response.
Both laughed as they talked.
They walked a few more steps when Gu Pan grabbed Lu Ruisheng and, lifting his hand, fired at the moving grass.
A yellow snake, hit by the arrow, quickly slithered away.
Gu Pan felt a bit disappointed, “I thought it was a rabbit or something. I didn’t expect it to be a snake.” After all, a rabbit or a wild chicken wouldn’t run far if hit, but who would have expected an arm-thick snake?
Lu Ruisheng patted Gu Pan’s head, “I didn’t even see anything there. Who could’ve predicted a snake? It’s good that you saw it; otherwise, we might have been startled passing by.”
They continued walking and chatting as they advanced further.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of something running ahead, the noise drawing closer and louder, increasingly unsettling.
