Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Snake Egg
A few days ago, Lu Jianguo ntioned that Second Uncle Lu Jianshe was planning to co over, so Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng discussed that if possible, they would follow Second Uncle to the main base. It wasn’t just about seeking revenge for the old lady but also to check out the situation at the main base. They had previously heard about the Huaxia legacy “Fla Box” and how much the base actually knew about the future. In any case, it was necessary to make the trip.
However, they did not plan to settle at the main base. Once they had taken care of those matters, they intended to return because they had relatives here and felt more settled. No matter what disaster might co in the future, they would still feel safer here.
The next day, they arranged another trade with the second-hand dealer. They were now looking to expand the “Space” area on one hand and on the other, to reach the limit of trade with the second-hand dealer as soon as possible. They hoped to check out the entertainnt venues around the base. Maybe there would be so different discoveries there?
On the day of the trade, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went up the mountain once more. Since they weren’t sure if they would co out the next day, they had removed all the traps last ti. This ti, they didn’t set any traps either because they didn’t plan to go out the following day.
They mainly wanted an excuse to bring back a wild boar since they had heard from their father-in-law that Second Uncle was coming.
While heading out, they unintentionally overheard the guards at the base’s gate saying that the team that went to the main base for errands had returned in the past few days. If Second Uncle ca, he would probably be with them. So, they planned to bring back a wild boar and, at the ti of sale, cut off a leg to keep for Second Uncle. In their hearts, Second Uncle was a towering figure. Of course, if Second Uncle didn’t co, then their own relatives could enjoy the at instead—it wouldn’t go to waste.
Today, the “Space” had expanded by another two thousand square ters, now asuring 28,220 square ters. It beca necessary to drive to get around within the “Space.”
When they reached the mountain, they did not intend to co back empty-handed, so they wandered around to see if they could hunt anything else or make so other gain.
The mountain was bare, although there were trees, they were all dead. There was grass, but it was withered too. Thus, their target was still the caves. The plants that had not been corroded by acid rain and could survive on groundwater were still plentiful inside the caves. There was a lot of moss, and although there were many snakes, insects, mice, and ants, these could be considered wild animals, albeit barely.
They entered a cave with a flashlight and walked inside. Truth be told, the deeper parts of the cave had more things and, naturally, more dangers.
However, there weren’t many large animals here, mostly many small creatures that feared humans. Hearing any noise, they would simply switch to another cave entrance to escape.
In a corner, Gu Pan found a nest of eggs and was quite pleased. She grabbed her husband’s hand, “Eggs, what kind of eggs are these? They look quite cute, all white and clean.”
Although she said this, she didn’t touch them. It was a good habit ford after the apocalypse: never to touch anything lightly, as danger could be anywhere.
Lu Ruisheng took a look and pulled Gu Pan back, “Snake eggs. Not sure if they’re poisonous.”
Thinking of snakes, Gu Pan shuddered. She was most afraid of these slimy, hairless creatures, especially snakes, which she dreaded the most. It wasn’t a matter of combat strength; it was just a natural aversion—one glance would leave her completely weak.
She rubbed her arms, “Let’s go quickly.”
Though she would take any kind of at and could store it in the “Space” without touching it, Gu Pan couldn’t accept it. She truly couldn’t bear it. If today they took these snake eggs, she feared she’d be tornting herself.
The two hurried out of the cave because Gu Pan was afraid to see snakes. In the past, just seeing a snake scene on TV would make her nauseous and even vomit. This was truly unbearable.
After leaving the cave, they both took the wild boar back to the base.
When they reached the entrance to the base, those guards were no longer as surprised as before, but they still offered their congratulations.
After speaking with the guards to see if anyone had co looking for them, they went to the trading post.
The people at the trading post were not surprised to see them: “You two really are the lucky stars of the base.”
Gu Pan said with a smile, “You flatter . This ti, we got the at because we wanted to treat so relatives of ours, so we made a point of getting it. We plan to keep a pig’s leg for ourselves.”
The people at the trading point didn’t hesitate, although they would have preferred more at. But with nobody bringing in at and the base’s hunting army not back for half a month, it was a good thing these two brought so back.
A staff mber chopped off a pig’s leg, processed the rest, then packed up the pig’s leg for them and gave them so contribution points.
Lu Ruisheng carried the bag with the pig’s leg, and he and Gu Pan rode back ho on a motorcycle. After they arrived ho, the two of them cleaned the pig’s leg.
Afterward, Gu Pan fried up a big pot of atballs, which could last a few days.
Then she braised the pig’s trotters, hocks, and a piece of at, making it saltier so it could last a few more days.
She also boiled the pork bones into soup. By heating it up every day, it could keep for a few days as well.
Finally, they hung the remaining at in a cool, ventilated place so it would last a couple or three days.
After all, this at couldn’t go into the Space. Otherwise, the at when taken out would be too fresh and wouldn’t align with reality.
Having finished up, Gu Pan prepared so atballs and braised at to take to the two neighbors. She filled a lunch box for each house and put them into two bags for easy carrying.
When she reached the door, she saw a young woman coming over and asking, “Excuse , is this Cheng Yang’s house?”
Gu Pan found the voice strangely familiar. Without answering, she asked in return, “Are you Cheng Yang’s colleague?”
Besides colleagues, Cheng Yang only knew Gu Pan and her group. Gu Pan hadn’t heard Cheng Yang ntion knowing any young won, so she asked tentatively.
The young woman said, “I’m Cheng Yang’s ex-girlfriend. I saw him the other day but didn’t get to talk because we were far apart, and now here I am after finding out where he lives. Are you his neighbors?”
Gu Pan suddenly rembered why the voice was familiar. It was Mo Xiaoqian, the one who had looked for Cheng Yang during the extre cold, Cheng Yang’s drama queen, green tea bitch ex-girlfriend.
She couldn’t let Mo Xiaoqian latch onto Cheng Yang, so Gu Pan said, “We’ve t before. You’re his ex-girlfriend. If I rember correctly, Cheng Yang is really annoyed by you. I advise you not to look for him.”
How could Mo Xiaoqian not look for him? After getting here, while still living in a bungalow, she was determined to climb up the social ladder.
At that mont, Fang Lanlan ca out, “Sister, who is it?”
Seeing the young woman who ca out of Cheng Yang’s house, Mo Xiaoqian imdiately felt hostility: “Who are you?”
Gu Pan suddenly ca up with a good idea. She said to Mo Xiaoqian, “She’s the owner of this house and also Cheng Yang’s girlfriend. Cheng Yang is now living at his girlfriend’s place.”
Fang Lanlan was confused and had no idea what Gu Pan ant, but she knew one thing: Gu Pan wouldn’t hurt her, so she kept silent.
Mo Xiaoqian blinked rapidly. Sothing was wrong. She had heard that it was Cheng Yang’s friend who was capable and had taken him out on missions, earning themselves a villa. How could it be that he was just living in?
No, this must be the woman in front of her deceiving her: “I don’t believe what you’re saying. I’ll wait for Cheng Yang to co back.”
