Chapter 199 -199: Taking Friends Out to Scavenge

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng said goodbye to Qin Jun at the intersection and also headed home.

Once they were home, the two of them entered the Space and looked over the spinning machinery. Admittedly, they did not understand it, but they had one advantage, they would collect whatever components and peripherals they could take and bring them back. This way, there was no mistake.

They also checked the fertilized eggs in the Space. Including the ones they bought and those from Zhuang Jie, there really were a lot.

There were also five incubators, both big and small.

However, no matter how many, they couldn’t afford to waste; hence, they planned to take out fifty quail eggs for the base and also try to incubate some at home to see if they could raise quail and have them lay eggs to create more Breeding Eggs.

Of course, if that failed, there would just be an extra ten quails; they could still eat them without a loss.

Chicken eggs weren’t easy to bring out now; there wasn’t a clear source—these weren’t wild eggs but household ones.

Perhaps they could pretend these were from a chicken farm that survived the apocalypse?

But this would be discussed later, talking about it now if they brought them directly wouldn’t be very convincing.

Having discussed it, they decided to focus on quail eggs this time, and talk about the others later.

Once they finished, they left the Space, and Gu Pan casually wrote a letter to the clerk at J B Department Store to see if it would have any effect.

After writing the letter, they placed it on the table and washed up before going to bed.

The next day they didn’t leave early, as going out wasn’t a one-day return trip, but since everything they needed was in the Space, they controlled the timing themselves.

So, they first delivered the letter, then went over to their friends in the apartment building.

Upon reaching the former house, Lu Xuerong who answered the door said, “You’re here, come in quickly.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng entered and sat on the sofa.

Lu Ruisheng asked, “Did Dr. Feng go to work today?”

Lu Xuerong nodded, “Yes, I heard the hospital is really short on staff, so he went today. I am thinking of going to the job center later to see what short-term jobs are available recently.”

Gu Pan said, “Don’t rush into finding a job yet, take some rest now that things have finally settled down. When we have some time, we can think about what you could do that wouldn’t be too exhausting. There’s no need to rush.”

“Whether it’s exhausting or not—I’ve made it through the apocalypse; I’m not who I was before. There’s nothing I can’t do,” Lu Xuerong said calmly and frankly.

What Gu Pan admired most about her friends was this: they never complained or criticized others out of envy or resentment and knew their limits.

She said, “The breeding farm at the base, and some small factories, will start up gradually and will be hiring. There’ll be no lack of work later, you really don’t need to rush.”

“But I can’t just sit idle, I’d rather do something concrete.” Lu Xuerong couldn’t explicitly say she was worried about money, but they also couldn’t always rely on Gu Pan and the others to provide funds. Even if others had resources, they were earned by them; even among close kin, it wasn’t right if only one side was giving. Such a relationship, if it continued for too long, would develop problems.

Gu Pan could see what was on Lu Xuerong’s mind and said, “I was also thinking, if you rest during this period, you could join us on our trip to help out, but if you’re eager to find a job, then we’ll manage on our own, that should be possible.”

This was a spontaneous idea from Gu Pan. Though it was easiest when she and Lu Ruisheng went out themselves, seeing her friends worry about money, she thought of helping them earn some first, so they could feel more secure and relieve their stress in the future.

Anyway, taking them out wasn’t difficult. Equipment could be found in some abandoned warehouse, Gu Pan would enter first, load the equipment on the truck, drive the truck out, and they wouldn’t even need to carry anything—just drive the truck back.

Before, when they talked about hiding things in the caves with Li Shukang and the others, nobody really went to verify it. Who would tell others the real location of their supplies? So, it was still up to them to decide where to store stuff.

Then, when they went to find the fertilized eggs, they just picked a larger mountain, had Lu Xuerong watch the car, and took a stroll up the mountain to bring things back, and that was it.

Since they were out anyway, if there were many people, they would go a bit further to search, to make the trip worth it. Although it wasn’t as convenient as when two people went out, they really wanted to give their friends some peace of mind.

Upon hearing Gu Pan say this, Lu Xuerong quickly said, “No rush on finding a job, no rush. I just can’t sit still, so I might as well go out with you. Just keep me busy.”

She was more than willing to help Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, which was exactly what she hoped for, having received so many favors from them. If they needed her, she was ready to plunge into action, so she hurriedly spoke up to Gu Pan.

Gu Pan said, smiling, “Alright, then we won’t be polite with you. We’ll see if Cheng Yang is free to join us too.”

While they were speaking, Cheng Yang knocked and entered, “Brother, sister, you’re all here. I just went to the office and they said I need to wait a few more days before starting work. I thought I’d come to find my sister-in-law and look for temp jobs together. It’s better to have company.”

Lu Xuerong said, “Perfect timing, let’s not look for temp jobs for now. Xiao Lu and the others are going out these next few days and might need us to join them.”

She was genuinely happy to be able to help out Gu Pan and the others, so she said this with a smile, her eyes curving.

Cheng Yang’s eyes lit up, “Really? That’s great. When do I need to be ready?”

Lu Ruisheng spoke, “We’ll be leaving in a while; you guys pack up a bit. We might need to stay out for a night or two before coming back. Oh, and bring your IDs, we need to get temporary passes.”

Lu Xuerong said, “Sure, I’ll pack up now and leave a note for Zhekai.”

Cheng Yang replied, “I don’t need to pack anything, I can leave immediately.”

Watching the excited Cheng Yang, Gu Pan asked, “Is your ID still tied to your belly?”

Cheng Yang took his ID out of his pocket and held it up, “I had it with me when I went to report to the office earlier. I’ll strap it on again when we go out.”

Gu Pan looked at Cheng Yang with a smile. Things had been livelier before when he and Chen Lang were together. Thinking of Teacher Chen and the others made Gu Pan sigh softly.

But those sad matters shouldn’t always be mentioned. She said to Lu Ruisheng, “Ruisheng, take Cheng Yang downstairs and wait for us. I’ll talk to my sister-in-law a bit more, and then we’ll come down together.”

Lu Ruisheng agreed and went downstairs with Cheng Yang first.

Once they left, Gu Pan spoke to Lu Xuerong about the neighbors, “Sister-in-law, you should avoid the family in 405, they’re not good people, and also the man across the hall if possible.”

Although these were minor issues, living on the same floor could turn small things into big ones, so it was better to give a heads-up in advance.

Hearing this, Lu Xuerong frowned, “Zhang Ping from 405 came by yesterday wanting to come in. We didn’t let her, and she left quite angry.”

“It’s fine if she’s angry. I already had a falling out with her. She still wishes her son could marry the girl from across, Yang Jia, wishful thinking. Just ignore people like her.”

“Hmm, the two kids across are quite nice. Now that our floor has more people, she will have to hold back a bit.”

“When you leave a note for Dr. Feng, mention this to him; we don’t want him being caught off guard by Zhang Ping trying to barge in again.”

“You’re right. I’ll go and mention it to Yang Jia and Fengzhou later, to keep an eye out.”

“Yes, that’s safer.”
