Chapter 186 -186 The Companion I’ve Been Longing for Day and Night Has Finally Arrived
Lu Ruisheng’s vehicle took the lead exploring the road ahead, with Gu Pan following close behind. Although they were near the base, there was still a distance to cover. What if someone had set up a roadblock? It was better to be cautious.
But they hadn’t gone far when Lu Ruisheng suddenly recognized the silhouettes of three people walking ahead on the roadside; they looked familiar. As he looked over, the person walking in the back turned around.
Lu Ruisheng exclaimed in surprise, “Cheng Yang?”
Cheng Yang also recognized Lu Ruisheng and immediately jumped excitedly: “Brother, it’s me, Brother, Brother.” After saying that, he ran toward Lu Ruisheng while shouting back, “The one in the vehicle is Brother Ruisheng!”
Lu Ruisheng also jumped out of the car, calling back to Gu Pan, “Wife, it’s Cheng Yang and the others.” Then he ran toward Cheng Yang.
When Cheng Yang reached Lu Ruisheng, he hugged him tightly and couldn’t help but burst into loud sobs.
He hadn’t cried when the tornado had swept him into the sky, and he thought he was dying.
They had nearly starved on the way, eating tree bark until they couldn’t pass it, yet he hadn’t cried.
He hadn’t cried when acid rain burned his feet, preventing him from wearing shoes to walk.
But seeing Gu Pan and the others again, he just wanted to cry, couldn’t help but want to cry. In Lu Ruisheng’s arms, that feeling of solidity was something nobody understood; he just really wanted to cry.
Feng Zhekai and Lu Xuerong ran over and hugged Gu Pan tightly, also beginning to cry. They hadn’t planned on crying; they hadn’t wanted to cry through all the hardships. For some reason, seeing their own people, they just couldn’t help it and cried so much they couldn’t speak.
Before, they had nearly died several times, and each time they had accepted it calmly, as if death was not a big deal in the apocalypse; death was even a release.
But now, seeing their family members again, they just wanted to cry.
Gu Pan also felt tears involuntarily falling, and even Lu Ruisheng’s eyes reddened as he patted Cheng Yang’s back.
In the end, everyone hugged together and had a good cry.
In reality, when they were always together, there weren’t many feelings, but the emotion of reuniting after separation, that possibility of never seeing each other again, the experience of life-and-death parting, and then meeting again, was incomprehensible to anyone.
After some time, they finally calmed their emotions and began to speak of their experiences after being scattered by the tornado.
Feng Zhekai wiped away his tears and said, “After the tornado threw us away, we really thought we would die. Unexpectedly, after being blown around for a while, the vehicle was caught by a large tree and fell into a pit. Our team’s good habit of wearing seatbelts when in the vehicle truly saved our lives. Aside from some minor injuries and Cheng Yang’s dislocated wrist, there were no fatal injuries. Our vehicle was damaged, but the stuff inside was still intact. We managed for a few days, then found a place to settle. We thought of quickly getting a vehicle to come find you, but just when we secured a vehicle, the acid rain came. We weren’t soaked while inside the vehicle, so we found another place to settle until the acid rain ended, and only then did we get a car to come find you.”
Cheng Yang scratched his head and added, “The new vehicle broke down on the road yesterday. Since we weren’t far off, we just walked the rest of the way.” As he said that, he got excited again: “If we hadn’t walked here, we wouldn’t have met you.”
Gu Pan smiled, “We left information for you at the gate. Even if we didn’t meet, you wouldn’t have been lost.”
Lu Xuerong, who had been holding Gu Pan’s hand all along, said, “I knew we didn’t die, and you all would have survived too, which is why I wanted to rush over. Who else has arrived?”
At this, the mood of Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng became somewhat gloomy.
Gu Pan shook her head, “Only us. We were very lucky. We were thrown up by the tornado, but we fell down quickly. I don’t know if it was because our car was heavy. Then we hurriedly drove to the base to wait for you. I think maybe the acid rain blocked them. They must all be fine and also on their way here.”
“That’s right, they must all be alive and will come,” Feng Zhekai affirmed with certainty.
Lu Ruisheng also said, “We are alive, and that proves there’s a high survival rate, so they should all be alive. Maybe they were blown farther away, so it’s taking them longer to reach us.”
Lu Xuerong said, “We met several groups that were swept away by the tornado along the way, and they all said the wind seemed inexperienced, blowing and blowing until it reached the side of the mountains, and then it just stopped.”
Indeed that was true, but many people lacked supplies, vehicles, and were blown to uninhabited areas. Then the acid rain arrived, and many lost their lives.
However, they were different; they had undergone disaster emergency training, so if there were any survivors, their team members were most likely to have the highest chance of living.
At that moment, everyone had the same thought, that being alive was all that mattered.
Then Cheng Yang looked at their truck and asked, “What’s this?”
Gu Pan explained, “Before we entered the base, we found a batch of solar panels. At that time, we weren’t sure about the base, so we hid these along with our supplies. We only brought a portion into the base, and since we needed them now, we are transporting them. But the food is still hidden outside, waiting for when you all arrived so we can distribute it. When we have time, we’ll go and fetch it.”

Hearing that Gu Pan and the others hadn’t brought all the food in but had left some for everyone, Feng Zhekai and the others were truly moved. These were real friends, no, they were family, dear family.
Lu Ruisheng looked up at the sky, “It’s getting dark, let’s head back to the base first.” He then asked, “Do you all still have your IDs? Without them, you can’t get in.”
Cheng Yang lifted his shirt; his waist was wrapped with Jade, family planning supplies, and dry food…
He plucked out a small pouch from the middle: “Everything’s here.”
Gu Pan couldn’t help laughing, “That’s really something.”
Cheng Yang was particularly proud, “All three of us did this, my idea, good right?”
Gu Pan nodded, “It’s a great idea, hurry up and get in the car, there’s a lot to do. Tonight, we’ll have time to talk.”
Lu Ruisheng led Cheng Yang and Feng Zhekai to the car he was driving, while Lu Xuerong followed Gu Pan into the car behind them, and together they drove toward the base.
Lu Xuerong sat next to Gu Pan, watching her occasionally laugh.
Gu Pan also kept smiling, it was good, them coming was so good, just like family members had arrived, making her feel exceptionally secure.
At the entrance to the base, Lu Ruisheng got out of the car.
The guard recognized him and came over, “You found so much supply in just three days?”
Lu Ruisheng said, “Could you please call Secretary Li Shukang for me? Ask him to send someone out to pick us up.”
The guard hurried off to make the call.
The other guards were holding their guns because the amount of supplies was so significant that it wasn’t their place to inspect, the team leader had to personally come for inspection. However, now that they had contacted Secretary Li, they didn’t need to call the team leader anymore, indicating that these were people with connections.
Soon the guard who made the call returned: “Secretary Li said he’s coming right away and asks you to wait.”
Gu Pan led Lu Xuerong and the others forward, “Comrade, these three are our former teammates. I’d appreciate if you could verify their identities for us.”
Lu Xuerong and the others handed over their ID cards.
