Chapter 222 -222: Squad Leader Fang Arrives

Fang Lanlan’s expression was somewhat bitter. She knew her father’s health was worse than it appeared, and today he was happy but was also forcing himself, often unable to sleep through the night.

She said to Squad Leader Fang, “Dad, you should stay at the base to recuperate, and your health might improve.”

Feng Zhekai said, “Tomorrow, let Squad Leader Fang have a thorough examination at the hospital. We have the money to afford the treatment.”

Gu Pan also said, “Right, we exchanged a lot for the base’s contribution points last time, which is basically the base’s money. We’ve distributed a share to everyone, enough for you to live comfortably here for three years.”

Squad Leader Fang was stunned to hear this. “We, you, we didn’t come, you still… not”

Hearing his incoherently excited speech, Lu Ruisheng said, “We discussed this together and brought a share for everyone. For now, we’ve secured these three villas, but we’ve rented apartments as well, where anyone can stay directly. If we get a chance to go out again and can exchange for more villas, we’ll switch then. It’s not cost-effective to rent with contribution points; it’s better to arrange for permanent residence.”

Squad Leader Fang still didn’t quite understand. “Having a place to sleep is enough; we don’t need such large houses.”

Cheng Yang said, “This house is too big for me alone. If you don’t mind, please stay. It’d be nice to have someone to talk to.”

Gu Pan and the others obviously understood Cheng Yang’s subtle intentions. She quickly added her support, “Actually, it’s quite nice. There’s plenty of space, and it would be convenient for the three of us to take turns cooking. Otherwise, Cheng Yang would have to cook alone.”

Lu Xuerong also hurriedly helped out. “Exactly, Cheng Yang often needs our help for little things. If you stay here, we’ll have more free time.”

This wasn’t really a complaint, but a way to sincerely help Cheng Yang persuade Squad Leader Fang to stay.

Lu Ruisheng also said, “Squad Leader Fang, please stay here. Cheng Yang has always wanted you to come; I can’t tell you how many times he’s mentioned it.”

Seeing everyone’s sincere attitude, Squad Leader Fang nodded. “Alright, we’ll stay here then. If needed, we’ll go to the apartment later.”

Cheng Yang was very happy. “That’s great. I’ll move out of the master bedroom for you.”

Squad Leader Fang quickly replied, “Don’t bother; if you go to that extent, we won’t stay here.”

Cheng Yang could only say, “Then I’ll clean up the guest room for you.”

Gu Pan said, “Ruisheng and I will go home to get some daily necessities and food to bring over, and we’ll have dinner here tonight.”

Lu Xuerong said, “Then I’ll also go home and grab what’s usable.”

In the middle of conversation, they all went out, as they were all people of action.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng took two sets of clothing, one male and one female, and also grabbed two sets of bedding, along with a basket of meat and vegetables, before returning to Cheng Yang’s courtyard.

They had agreed on installing a door in the wall, but it hadn’t been done yet, so they had to go around the outside.

Lu Xuerong also took some bedding and some daily necessities.

Seeing that it was not too late, Lu Ruisheng said to Cheng Yang, “You should drive them to the bathhouse, and they can change into clean clothes. That way, they can rest well tonight.”

Gu Pan said, “Right, we’ll cook the food at home, and you can eat when you come back.”

Cheng Yang agreed, “Okay, we’ll go now.”

Gu Pan and Lu Xuerong helped Fang Lanlan prepare clothes, from the inside out.

Lu Ruisheng had prepared everything for Squad Leader Fang.

Cheng Yang drove them to the bathhouse.

Gu Pan and the others cooked at home together.

An hour later, Cheng Yang and the others returned. After having baths and changing into clean clothes, they felt much refreshed.

The meals Gu Pan and the others prepared were ready as well.

It was mainly the usual food they ate, because during the apocalypse, the normal food from Gu Pan’s “Space” could only be eaten at home by the two of them, otherwise, it would be hard to explain.

During the meal, Squad Leader Fang roughly talked about their experiences along the way.

After being swept away by the tornado, they fell into a river. Squad Leader Fang’s leg was injured. They found a spot by the river to build a shelter and heal. Unexpectedly, there came acid rain. Fortunately, they were accustomed to wearing hats, so they realized something was wrong and quickly took cover. They were slightly injured but not severely.

The rain continued, and the shelter was not very sturdy. Moreover, they didn’t have enough food. Therefore, they used the grass from the shelter to make a large grass umbrella and ventured out, walking for half a day before finding an abandoned factory at the foot of a mountain.

Luckily, there was a deep well inside the factory. They survived by catching some snakes, insects, and rodents in the factory along with some supplies left from before, barely making it until the end of the acid rain.

Then they found their way here.

Though it was briefly mentioned, everyone could imagine the hardship and difficulty they faced during that time.

After the meal, Gu Pan and the others helped tidy up the guest room. Seeing nothing was missing, they went home to allow Squad Leader Fang and his group some good rest.

Back at home, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were quite excited; their team was more complete now. Only Chen Shaonan’s family and Guo Gang’s family had yet to arrive, but they believed they surely would.

They didn’t know whether the second-hand dealer Shi Liang and his spouse would come. However, they planned to return home for a trip soon, to look for mines and oil, and they would check on their old city to see if they were still there.

Tonight, the sky darkened even later. Gu Pan knew that the polar day was about to start in the next couple of days.

Because of previous disaster experiences, the base had prepared early for dealing with the polar day.

Gu Pan felt quite reassured about this; during the acid rain, she had thought about alerting the base, but she couldn’t be certain of the exact timing of the acid rain. Everyone was living their normal lives; would they stop their activities just because she said something? If spoken vaguely, no one would believe her; if too specific, wouldn’t she be seen as a “Demon”?

Moreover, she only knew of the events within three years of the apocalypse and couldn’t predict forever. Mentioning something impactful this time could lead to expectations the next time. If she couldn’t say anything the next time, people might think she was unwilling, and then she would become an enemy of everyone. In peaceful times, they dared not test human nature, let alone during the apocalypse—she wouldn’t risk her life.

The next day, Feng Zhekai and Cheng Yang went to work. Lu Xuerong voluntarily took on the task of cooking lunch. Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, accompanied by Squad Leader Fang and Fang Lanlan, went to handle some paperwork.

At the household registration office, Sister Wang greeted them, “Ah, friends have come. That’s wonderful, come over here and fill out the forms.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng smiled and greeted Sister Wang, then sat down opposite her.

Squad Leader Fang and Fang Lanlan also greeted her politely, then sat down.

Sister Wang didn’t need Gu Pan and the others to say much, giving step-by-step guidance to Squad Leader Fang and his daughter to fill out the forms.

She also repeated the rules of the base. It was part of her job, and she was very serious about it.

After everything was settled, Gu Pan thanked Sister Wang, and with the temporary residence certificate of the base, they left the household registration center together.

Because they were not in a hurry for them to find jobs, and they didn’t even want Squad Leader Fang to work yet—wanting him to rest and heal up—Fang Lanlan’s job could be discussed with Lu Jianguo later. After all, Fang Lanlan was a talented individual, and her speed could be useful anywhere.
