Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 61 - The Wine Cellar

Chapter 61: Chapter 61 The Wine Cellar

Chapter 61 -61 The Wine Cellar

Chen Lang’s grilled prawns were ready, and he excitedly distributed them to everyone, “How can these prawns be so fragrant?”

Duan Shumei hung her head and said, “How did I raise my son to be such a glutton? I’m too embarrassed to face anyone.”

Gu Pan said, “Teacher Duan, isn’t Chen Lang at that age where a young lad could eat his father out of house and home? He’s growing, it’s just that the apocalypse has come, and the kid is at a disadvantage.”

Duan Shumei replied, “Yes, before, we had three regular meals a day with a set amount of meat, eggs, and milk. Now, it’s great just to have enough to eat.”

Chen Lang said, “I’m very satisfied. Being able to avoid hunger during the apocalypse, I’m probably better off than ninety-nine percent of people, right?”

Lu Ruisheng laughed, “This kid is good. If he were to become a soldier, he’d definitely be a good one. If it weren’t for the apocalypse, I’d really recommend he apply to a military school.”

Chen Lang said, “I also admire soldiers. If the apocalypse ends and I can still go to school, I’ll definitely apply to a military school.”

As they talked, they began to share their own aspirations, speaking about what they would want to do if the apocalypse ended.

Of course, they didn’t let this slow down their eating; the plates of grilled meat were devoured with relish.

While eating, they also discussed the building where Li Dong and his group lived, which now stood empty – a real pity.

Gu Pan had an idea – to train in the building during the daytime. After all, it was no secret that they had guns, so practicing shooting there was no big deal.

Training there would be better than on open ground because they could practice with actual terrain.

After dinner, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went home and brought back some flower pots and soil, and Lu Xuerong brought some as well.

Then they divided everything equally among themselves. Each household planted different seeds so that they could trade with each other later.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng planted red leaf lettuce, Teacher Chen across the door grew baby bok choy, Cheng Yang planted shepherd’s purse, and Lu Xuerong planted spinach.

However, Gu Pan and Lu Xuerong had experience, so they also planted two additional types of seeds – cilantro and green onions.

After divvying up, everyone went home and began planting.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng prepared the soil, buried the seeds, and watered them before covering them with plastic wrap to maintain moisture and warmth.

Their home’s heating was on all day, so growth wasn’t an issue. Gu Pan had always liked to plant various flowers and plants, so gardening was nothing new to her. Plus, there was a plethora of planting knowledge stored on the tablet, readily available to refer to when needed.

That night, Gu Pan slept well because they had dealt with the Li Dong problem.

Earlier, everyone had been on edge, so after dealing with Li Dong and his group, they decided to take another three days to rest.

So the next morning, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng didn’t wake up early. They got up after nine o’clock, had breakfast, and then went to the address Shi Liang had given them to sell the baby formula.

Of course, before leaving, they prepared insulated containers to carry the alcohol back in insulated boxes directly.

The neighborhood appeared to have established a defense squad, with people patrolling in lines, probably similar to the security team organized by Tian Zhenzhen’s neighborhood.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng approached the gatekeeper to negotiate, and they requested the guard’s help in calling Li Yijun from Building 9, Unit 1, Apartment 603. To express their gratitude, Gu Pan took out two pieces of candy and gave them to the gatekeeper.

The guard outside happily called out to the patrolling people, helping to summon them, as he couldn’t leave his post.

Soon, Li Yijun came out, a rather tall and robust man.

Upon reaching the entrance, he politely shook hands with Lu Ruisheng, then led them a distance away before speaking, “Are you here to trade for goods?”

Lu Ruisheng nodded, “Yes, you can just call me Xiao Lu.” Outside, it’s best not to reveal one’s full name everywhere.

Li Yijun didn’t seem to mind this; at this time, everyone had their own way of protecting themselves.

He said, “My items aren’t at my house, but I need to see your items first before I can take you to the wine cellar.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng had already suspected this; this community didn’t seem like the kind to have an underground wine cellar.

Therefore, they had no objections. Lu Ruisheng agreed and opened his backpack behind him to let the other party inspect the goods.

After Li Yijun had a look, he breathed a sigh of relief, then led them to the location of the wine cellar, which was a pub. The owner himself had dug up the wine cellar.

As they walked, Li Yijun said, “I am the chef of the pub. Our boss went away on a business trip and lost contact after the blizzard. With no other choice, considering my child is only six months old, my wife isn’t eating well and has no milk, I thought of trading the boss’s wine. I had checked before; the wine didn’t freeze and it’s all good quality.”

Before, Gu Pan had thought that those with wine cellars were mostly rich people. In fact, those who are rich would usually go directly to Shi Liang’s superiors. This one who found Shi Liang must have had his reasons, and now she understood.

Lu Ruisheng asked, “After the apocalypse, has no one found this place?”

Li Yijun replied, “This place is very hidden. Only I, and one other waiter, knew about it before, but after the apocalypse, I never saw that waiter again. The two times I went to the wine cellar, I saw no signs that anyone else had been there. To tell you the truth, it’s all just wine; it doesn’t stave off hunger. I hadn’t thought anyone would want these things since it’s the apocalypse, after all, who doesn’t want more food.”

Saying this, Li Yijun suddenly felt there was a problem with what he had said and hurriedly explained, “But, but they are all fine wines. If you have the goods and want to improve your quality of life, these wines are rare items. It’s just that my life really doesn’t match up to these.”

Gu Pan understood Li Yijun’s thoughts; the man was quite honest, “As you said, each has their needs, and we too are always searching for supplies.”

Li Yijun said, “You all are capable. When we go out, we always end up trailing behind others. At first, we could still pick up some leftovers, but later it became difficult. Recently, we’d go out for a whole day and not get a single bite to eat, but the child cries from hunger every day. I really can’t stand it.”

Gu Pan also sighed, “Children of the apocalypse truly suffer. I hope when he grows up, he can see a brand-new world.”

Li Yijun let out a sigh, “I don’t even dare to think about it. Right now, I can’t even guarantee if I’ll still be alive tomorrow.”

As they talked, they reached the pub, the door smashed open, allowing direct entry.

Once inside, Li Yijun went to a shelf against the wall and pushed hard; the shelf rotated open.

Gu Pan and the others walked in, Li Yijun lit a candle; there was no electricity here, so they could only use candles.

As they walked, Li Yijun explained that the walls were thickened with insulation boards, so the thermal insulation here was very good. He had thought about moving his family here, but it was too risky to suddenly have his family live here, coming and going was too dangerous.

As they walked down, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng held hands. If something was off about the other party, they could directly enter the “Space.”

When they reached the bottom, another door was opened before entering the wine cellar.

Li Yijun handed the candle to Lu Ruisheng, “It’s not very clear to see, you look closer.”

Gu Pan took out an emergency light from her backpack, “I brought this.” Turning it on, the wine cellar suddenly lit up.
