Chapter 162 -162: Going on a Cruise Again

At that moment, everyone’s eyes were drawn to Song Xiner’s hair, which she had not only permed but also dyed, making it the most expensive haircut at the base.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were almost done talking and had already stirred up public indignation, so they hurriedly got into the car and even locked the doors.

After starting the car, Lu Ruisheng didn’t forget to roll down the window and add to the old man, “Old man, you really are a good person, you must really help this wealthy lady.”

Then he quickly drove off, shifting his focus, he returned home to prepare the chicken, intending to stew it. Who had time to squabble with them?

Seeing that Gu Pan and the others had left, the old man, fearing that Song Xiner would ask him for meat, quickly said to her, “Our family has children who need extra nutrition, young lady, you should figure it out yourself, I have things to attend to at home.” With that, he too quickly made his escape.

Song Xiner was just about to play the sympathy card but, meeting the accusing and complaining eyes of those around her, she didn’t know what to say anymore. Besides, what could these poor souls offer her? Gu Pan had just swayed her thoughts prematurely; what did it have to do with that old man? She was there to buy their chickens.

Fuming, she also left in quick strides, clutching her purse.

The onlookers, seeing everyone had left, found nothing more to watch and dispersed.

After Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng got home, they didn’t brazenly carry the chicken like before. Instead, they took out a basket from the Space, which they used to discretely bring it inside, to avoid envy and attention. They hadn’t thought about it before, but realized they had to be more cautious in the future.

Upon reaching their floor, they saw their neighbor had opened his door, but upon hearing footsteps, he quickly closed it again.

They actually preferred this type of neighbor who didn’t interfere with others.

Back home, Lu Ruisheng dealt with the chicken in the bathroom, while Gu Pan took out mushrooms and glass noodles from the Space to soak, and then steamed some rice.

By the time Lu Ruisheng had finished preparing the wild chicken, cutting it up, he began to stew it.

Soon, a delicious scent wafted through the air, truly mouth-watering. Concerned about the smell escaping, Gu Pan closed all doors and windows. It wasn’t too hot anyway, and with the windows shut, it wasn’t stuffy.

Since they didn’t have to go to work and weren’t restricted by time, they ate as soon as the food was ready.

Right after eating, before they could even clear the dishes, someone knocked on their door. Gu Pan quickly stowed the dishes and leftover food into the Space.

Then, Lu Ruisheng answered the door.

As soon as he cracked the door, Zhang Ping tried to barge in, “What delicious thing did you guys make, it smells amazing?”

Gu Pan walked over, blocking the gap beside the door to prevent Zhang Ping from entering, and said, “We just cooked instant noodles, they do smell quite good.”

Zhang Ping sniffed, “That’s not right, that’s no instant noodles smell. You young folks don’t have to keep me out, I can’t steal it, just curious about what you’re actually eating.”

Gu Pan was growing increasingly annoyed with Zhang Ping, who lacked any manners and boundaries, and said, “Both of us are germaphobes and not comfortable with outsiders coming in. If there’s nothing else, we’re going to close the door.”

Zhang Ping’s expression changed, “Why are you acting like this? It’s not easy for us, people who survived the apocalypse, to live together. I’m older than you and thought I could lend you a hand, and here I came out of kindness. What do you mean by this?”

Gu Pan said, “We are indeed peculiar and definitely have a need for cleanliness that we can’t change. Thanks for your kindness, but your kindness is a burden to us, so we sincerely cannot accept your kindness. Please leave.”

Smelling the delicious aroma, Zhang Ping’s stomach grumbled, “In this apocalypse, without much family, wouldn’t you need help from your neighbors if something happens? Acting like this will be at your loss in the future.”

Lu Ruisheng said, “Suffering is a blessing, we have to suffer to grow, so some losses must be endured, but we also don’t recklessly accept every loss. We have other matters to attend to, so we won’t see you out.”

After speaking, he immediately closed the door.

Zhang Ping originally held the door with her hand, but she couldn’t compete with the other person’s strength, so she had to let go and watch them close the door.

She rubbed her stomach, “So stingy, even though they clearly stewed meat, I just couldn’t get in.” Muttering, she returned home.

Upon entering, her son frowned and asked, “Mom, where’s the food?”

Zhang Ping’s son, Wang Yan, was in his twenties, quite tall, and like most apocalypse survivors, he was dark and thin.

He was used to his mom visiting neighbors in the evening and bringing back food, especially from the new arrivals; his mom would never come back empty-handed.

Zhang Ping said, “That new couple next door is too cautious, they simply wouldn’t let me in.”

Wang Yan pursed his lips, “Mom, you rarely meet your match.”

Zhang Ping glared at her son, “How can you talk about your own mother like that, what kind of child are you?” As she sat down, she muttered to herself, “No, I must go to their house to check things out, that couple seems quite crafty.”

Wang Yan said, “What’s so crafty about them? They’re young, and even if they have skills, it can’t be better than ours.”

Zhang Ping shook her head, “No, something is off. There was definitely the scent of stewed chicken at their place today. How could they have chicken stew?”

“Mom, I think you’re just too greedy. How could it be chicken? Even the powerful ones in our settlement can’t get chicken. Whenever the troops go hunting and bring back a few chickens, they aren’t enough for the leaders to secretly share. Where could they possibly get chicken? Maybe it was just chicken-flavored instant noodles, you must have smelled it wrong.”

Zhang Ping was becoming insecure, “Could it really be that I smelled it wrong?”

Meanwhile, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng pretended to go downstairs and then brought back a metal door. While there was electricity, they installed the door inside their home. This way, if someone knocked, they wouldn’t worry about opening the door to intruders. Plus, acid rain was forecasted soon, and having just one door was not reassuring enough.

The sound of the electric drill attracted quite a bit of attention, but it was not clear where it came from, and it quickly disappeared, so no one paid much attention after that.

They were indeed tired today, so after eating, they didn’t go out. Seizing the moment there was water, they quickly washed up.

Now washing up was more convenient since Lu Ruisheng had installed a water heater at the sink, providing hot water.

With a metal door installed, they could take out more of their home appliances.

Looking at the door, Gu Pan said to Lu Ruisheng, “Should we add two more locks to this inner door?”

Lu Ruisheng smiled and said, “That’s not necessary, the people we’re defending against aren’t vicious criminals.”

Gu Pan responded, “Zhang Ping is more frightening than the vicious criminals.”

Both laughed after that comment.

After washing up, the two went into the Space to check on the cruise ship they had retrieved but hadn’t perused in detail yet.

Their first impression was that it was really big, truly massive.

Once onboard, they discovered that the cruise ship still had a lot of water. Though the food and supplies had been looted, they weren’t surprised since the cruise ship was parked in the deep sea area. During extreme cold, the sea surface would freeze, making it easy to cross and haul supplies using a sled.

But since the cruise ship was so far from the Shallow Sea Area and the ice melted, it was unlikely that anyone could live there. During a catastrophic disaster, no one would risk their lives by depending on a cruise ship in the deep sea.
