Chapter 135 -135 Waiting for the Broadcast

After listening to the broadcast, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng clasped their hands tightly together, truly exhilarated—they had finally waited for this day.

Perhaps at this moment, there was no need for too many words; both understood each other’s feelings, they still preferred a place where there was law and order, and where one could sleep soundly at home at night.

Although they had the capital and ability to establish their own kingdom, they trusted their country more and believed the apocalypse would end; proclaiming oneself a mountain overlord was not the best option.

The broadcast contained several pieces of information: First, the base had been established and was starting to recruit people. Second, it was looking for people nearby to join, but as usual, the capital’s should be the main base. The third was that there were requirements to join; one needed to be able to assist with development, either a technical person or someone with money and supplies.

Despite the stringent requirements, everyone understood one thing: those who got to the base first would have a place there in the future.

This was also one of the reasons why Gu Pan and her group wanted to be among the first batch to go; going at this time would secure a spot in the base, ensuring a more relaxed future.

They had also thought that the base could not possibly recruit people indiscriminately at first, as the starting location was still limited. It was likely to recruit a batch of elites or those with substantial resources. Once settled, the base would then expand its scope, these people would construct together, and then recruit a second and third batch in a virtuous cycle.

With the apocalypse ongoing, there would be more and more people left outside, and many who enjoyed the bandit life wouldn’t want to go to a base, leaving it able to accommodate everyone who wanted to join in the end.

Now that the base had started recruiting, it was only the first step, fortunately, all of them met the criteria.

Cheng Yang was a computer science specialist, which should still be valuable in the industry, this expertise was also needed by the base.

Chen Lang may not have had any special skills, but his parents were both talents needed by the base, bringing their son along was no issue.

Feng Zhekai was a doctor, and taking his wife along posed even less of a problem.

Squad Leader Fang was a retired soldier, and Fang Lanlan’s speed was actually also a talent—early on, the base would likely need such people.

Guo Gang was a retired soldier, and his wife could sew, not just simple hemming—she used to run a clothing store, so this type of skill was also needed by the base.

Shi Liang and his partner were studying bricklaying and planting; as long as they thoroughly understood the books, and continued learning after getting there, they too should find their footing.

So, if all these people went together, they could establish themselves in different areas of the base. This was beneficial for them, much better than being isolated and unsupported—even if two people were very strong, being attacked from both front and back was not easy to endure.

At that moment, an excited voice came through the walkie-talkie: “Xiao Gu, Xiao Lu, did you hear about the base?”

Chen Shaonan’s voice was also very excited. He and his partner were fine, but as parents, they preferred that Chen Lang could grow up in a peaceful environment.

The walkie-talkie was by Lu Ruisheng’s side. He picked it up and said, “We heard it, let’s go talk it over at Cheng Yang’s place.”

Through the walkie-talkie, Feng Zhekai also spoke, “Alright, we’ll come over right away.”

Soon everyone gathered in the conference room at Cheng Yang’s house. After sitting down, Gu Pan opened the discussion: “Everyone knows the news about the base, right? Let’s strive to be among the first batch to go. We have supplies and technical skills, the sooner we go, the better a position we can secure.”

Chen Shaonan asked, “So what do we need to prepare now?”

Lu Ruisheng replied, “Find a few more off-road vehicles. We have a lot of supplies; it’s safer to spread them out.”

Cheng Yang suggested, “We saw some vehicles out there yesterday, and they’re not expensive now. Should we buy the ready-made ones?”

Lu Ruisheng said, “Let’s not buy ready-made for now; we can’t be sure if those vehicles have been flooded. If a flood-damaged vehicle breaks down on the road, that’s a minor issue, but if it catches fire or something, people could die, and the loss would not be worth the gain. We’ll go to a higher ground and find the vehicles ourselves.”

Feng Zhekai agreed with this: “Back when I was in emergency care, I encountered flood-damaged vehicles catching fire on the road, nearly burning someone to death. Let’s find our own vehicles.”

Duan Shumei put forward, “There seem to be a few trucks at the factory midway up the hill in the suburbs. How about we go take a look? Off-road vehicles are hard to find, but though trucks are gas guzzlers, they are an option.”

Gu Pan agreed, “Okay, we’ll go have a look tonight. If there are small trucks, that’s not bad either; we still have enough fuel. With a truck, we can take everything we need.”

After discussing it, they decided to go and find vehicles that night and then prepare the dry food for the base trip, along with other necessities for the road.

After the meeting, everyone went back to their homes to sort out the supplies they had. They would organize everything that night and take the items that needed to be moved to a secure location, while ensuring everything was ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went home and put all the small items into the “Space” first to prevent overlooking these small and easily missed details when leaving; the larger items could be put into the “Space” when they departed.

In ordinary times, they didn’t notice, but there were indeed many small items to take care of in everyday life, and it took a good while to collect them all.

They had lived here for quite some time and had grown attached to the place, so Gu Pan brought out a camera to take photos for keepsake.

She prepared several instant cameras; she wanted to document everything about the apocalypse and wondered what emotions they would feel looking back at these images in peaceful times to come.

Tonight, they left Feng Zhekai and his wife to watch the house while they went out to find a vehicle.

Because they had some targets in mind and were not searching blindly, they quickly made some finds.

They brought fuel and could drive the vehicles back immediately.

Today, they found two vehicles, a mid-sized truck and an off-road vehicle, which were from the factory that Duan Shumei mentioned. There were also a few large trucks that were too big and too fuel-consuming to be practical for them, so they were left behind.

This place was situated very high, so when the ice and snow melted, the water drained away rapidly and had not submerged the vehicles.

Of course, after they left, claiming she had dropped something, Gu Pan ran back and promptly put the remaining trucks into the “Space”—it was dark, and there was no one else around.

After coming out, they drove to scavenge for materials. With a vehicle, they planned to gather some more small machinery and equipment; these items could be their capital at the base.

So, they stayed out for an extended time that day, not returning until the early morning.

Driving the vehicles, they stopped a short distance from the residential area, hiding the cars well.

They then went to check on the supplies they had hidden nearby. Everything was safe, and only then did they return home with peace of mind.

Upon reaching the entrance of the residential area, the sky showed the pale light of dawn—it would be nice weather if it weren’t for the apocalypse.

Just after entering the neighborhood, they saw a girl named Huihui running out frantically, shouting as she ran, “I’m going to be late for school.”
