Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 141 - Watching the Fun
Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Watching the Fun
Chapter 141 -141 Watching the Fun
The moon was especially bright tonight, making things clearer to see.
Gu Pan took out a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket and handed them to Cheng Yang, then grabbed a handful for herself, eating and watching at the same time.
At that moment, Lin Feifei was grabbing a girl in her early twenties by the collar, “What else do you have to say? You don’t think I actually believe you only regard Li Meng as a benefactor, do you? Are you shameless or not?”
The girl being grabbed by her collar was rather thin, but had fairly white skin. Due to malnutrition, there was a sickly yellow tint to her pallor that made one feel protective of her.
The girl, grasped by Lin Feifei, showed no signs of backing down, “Lin Feifei, watch your mouth. It won’t look good if we both lose face.”
“Afraid of looking bad? Why should I care? Go on, who’s afraid of tearing faces?” Lin Feifei’s voice was sharp as she continued, “You steal my man, and you think you’re in the right?”
The girl looked at Lin Feifei and laughed, then grabbed Lin Feifei’s hair, “Your man? Don’t you find that laughable? In the apocalypse, don’t we all know what’s on each other’s mind? If you’d been more honest, we could have coexisted peacefully, no problem with me. But since you insist on competing, I don’t mind playing along.”
With that, she reached out and scratched Lin Feifei’s face.
Lin Feifei was caught off guard and took a direct hit. She cried out in pain, then lunged at the girl. Unfortunately, her lack of fighting experience showed. Although she was taller, she was consistently overpowered by her opponent.
Cheng Yang watched with a grin, “Sis, that girl may look frail, but she’s got some serious combat power. Lin Feifei might be taller, but she’s not getting the upper hand at all.”
Gu Pan remarked, “That girl clearly has some real-world fighting experience from the apocalypse; she’s no stranger to brawls. Lin Feifei has no practical combat experience, of course, she’s not doing well.”
By then, Lu Ruisheng had joined Gu Pan’s side and expressed agreement with his wife’s assessment, “There’s a difference between having just a showy facade and actual toughness.”
The conflict only ended when Lin Ran and Song Yiru arrived and separated the two.
Lin Ran didn’t publicly reproach Lin Feifei, but was furious inside. Both father and daughter had scratch marks on their faces, looking somewhat comical.
Seeing the fight was over, Gu Pan and her group quietly left the area.
Walking back, Gu Pan sighed. Such scenarios would likely become more common—women without resources would do their utmost to please men, all to survive. Of course, there weren’t many men who could provide resources, hence the competition.
It wasn’t just about women vying for men. Women like Dong Mingyue would also become targets for men with looks but no survival skills.
The apocalypse was different from ancient times. Back then, if you worked hard enough, you could farm. But in the apocalypse, farming wasn’t an option; it was all about seizing what resources were available, so it came down to who had the strongest fist.
Those without combat power, who couldn’t get to a base, had no choice but to rely on others—it was the current reality.
Let alone that some people lacked the skills and resources to reach a base; not everyone could secure vehicles and fuel.
Moreover, the journey was fraught with danger. Many waited to rob those headed for the base. Those with resources but no combat power dared not attempt the journey, knowing that even with resources they could survive elsewhere; on the road to the base, they might be robbed and lose their lives.
So, reaching a base was not something everyone could do; few met the conditions and had the ability. In fact, there were probably more bandits on the road than travelers.
The next day, blessed with good weather, Gu Pan and her group prepared to set out in the evening. They had grown attached to the place they’d lived for so long, having enjoyed relative peace there.
Their vehicles weren’t brought near the community, but they had wheelbarrows—the kind previously used for transporting solar panels—so they used these to move a lot of stuff.
What they couldn’t wheel, they carried on their backs. Having taken some out yesterday, there wasn’t much left.
Of course, they had an agreement with the Inner Circle, so the Outer Circle people wouldn’t question how much they were taking. Like this, they departed from that place.
Once out of the community, Gu Pan turned to look at the gate and took a deep breath before continuing on with the group.
After more than half an hour’s walk, they reached their cache of supplies. Gu Pan and those with poor driving skills stayed to watch the food while Lu Ruisheng went to fetch Guo Gang’s family. It was a short walk, only five to six minutes, so Gu Pan didn’t join him, leaving the task to others to drive.
Soon, Lu Ruisheng brought over Guo Gang’s family of three. Meng Meng felt a bit scared seeing so many strangers and clung tightly to Guo Gang’s chest.
Gu Pan went to greet Guo Gang and his wife and introduced them to her team members.
Guo Gang sincerely thanked everyone, “Thank you for agreeing to let us travel with you, and for your trust.”
Truth be told, trust was rare at this point. One might not even be able to trust family members, so taking Guo Gang’s family, with their supplies, along with them was indeed a rarity.
Feng Zhekai said, “If Xiao Gu and Xiao Lu trust someone, then naturally we do too. Plus, you have a military background, and we believe in soldiers.”
While they talked, Chen Shaonan and his wife returned with the vehicles—a large truck, a small van, and an off-road vehicle.
Feng Zhekai and his wife had mediocre driving skills; they were just accustomed to commuting and hadn’t really been into cars or driven at high speeds.
But Chen Shaonan and his wife were excellent drivers, especially Duan Shumei who had often gone on road trips with colleagues before the catastrophe.

Cheng Yang was naturally good at driving. His driver’s license wasn’t old, but he drove well.
That’s why Feng Zhekai and Lu Xuerong didn’t go to get the vehicles.
Once they returned, Gu Pan introduced Guo Gang to them, and shortly after, Squad Leader Fang and Fang Lanlan returned with an off-road vehicle and an SUV they had stashed earlier.
After exchanging greetings, they discussed the driving arrangements.
They had five vehicles in total: a large truck, a small van, two off-road vehicles, and an SUV.
More vehicles meant more fuel consumption, but it was also safer. Plus, if a car broke down en route, there would be replacements; all had to be driven.
After the discussion, it was decided that Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng would drive the large truck, carrying food and larger items. Among the group, they were the most trusted and their Combat Power was the highest.
Chen Shaonan and Duan Shumei would drive the van, carrying personal belongings; Chen Lang would join his parents. Since Feng Zhekai and his wife weren’t skilled drivers, Cheng Yang would take them, splitting from his “brother.”
Squad Leader Fang would drive an off-road vehicle with Fang Lanlan; it was more convenient for them to switch drivers as needed.
Guo Gang’s family would take the SUV, and if adjustments were needed along the way, most of the group knew how to drive.
Having finalized arrangements, they began loading the supplies onto the vehicles.
