Snowstorm: I’m Super Rich in the Apocalypse
Chapter 266 Weapon Trade

Chapter 266: Chapter 266 Weapon Trade

After setting the details, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng returned to Lun Wanli’s home.

The next morning, the two of them set out and reached the entrance of the base, where they handed over their IDs, processed temporary access passes, and left.

Once they arrived at the agreed location, the second-hand dealer who they met yesterday brought them onto a tricycle.

After another half-hour journey, they stopped by the roadside.

There was a truck parked at the roadside; the second-hand dealer led them onto the back of it, which was filled with weapons.

The second-hand dealer said to them, "All of these are quality goods."

Lu Ruisheng looked around and saw that they indeed weren’t bad, so he bought a few guns and several hand grenades.

Seeing their generous spending, the second-hand dealer became even more eager to sell.

Gu Pan thought their method of sale was quite good; coming with a truck, if there were any danger, it would be easy to escape, and even if they couldn’t get away, at most what they’d lose was just these items. If they brought them to their stronghold, exposing it would be far more dangerous.

After the transaction, the second-hand dealer had a lot of trust in them and mentioned that they had insiders in their main base, which enabled them to procure quality items that were not the inferior kind assembled by any random person outside.

Before parting ways, Lu Ruisheng finally asked him, "I’ve heard that there’s a big disaster coming. I wonder if you could get your hands on survival pods?"

Hearing the mention of survival pods didn’t surprise the second-hand dealer, "You must have connections. The base is indeed constructing survival pods, but they are not easy to get, and the price to get them out is extremely high."

Gu Pan said, "It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive as long as you can arrange it."

The second-hand dealer replied, "Okay, I’ll talk to our boss about it and see if we can arrange something."

After finishing the talk and setting another appointment, they agreed to meet three days later at the school playground to get an update.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng didn’t head straight back to the base with the weapons but instead found a secluded spot to store the weapons in the Space, and only when they saw that there were few people at the main base entrance did they return.

As for the weapons, they didn’t mind having more. Trading them also had its advantages as it could increase trust, which was good.

When they got back home, Lu Ruisheng stealthily took out the recording pen from the old man’s room and replaced it with a new one.

In his room, he and Gu Pan listened to it—it did reveal the approximate location of Mount Everest Base, without specific coordinates, but based on the described terrain and materials transport routes, they were able to outline a general idea from the map.

The night fell earlier today. In the evening, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng sat in the courtyard, gazing at the stars in the sky. It had been so long since they had seen them, and although they were soon to see them every day, there was still a hint of longing after being apart for so long.

Lun Wanli came out and sat beside them: "We’re about to face the polar night, and afterward, I fear there will be a long period of darkness."

Gu Pan asked, "Grandfather, after the polar night, will there still be disasters? When can the apocalypse end, is there hope for it to end?"

She seemed curious, but in fact, she genuinely wanted to inquire; after all, the grandfather had the most comprehensive information.

Lun Wanli said, "No one can be certain, but it won’t end soon, so you must always remain vigilant."

He couldn’t reveal too many secrets, but he still needed to remind the children to be careful.

Lu Ruisheng asked, "Then what does the main base predict as the biggest disaster right now?"

It wasn’t an inappropriate question to ask, as there had been so many disasters occurring one after another, and predictions were essential.

Lun Wanli sighed, "Glacial melting, rising water levels, land becoming scarce."

Lu Ruisheng then asked, "So, what should we do?"

"These are still secrets, I can’t explain them to you, but rest assured, as long as I am here, you will definitely survive until the end." Lun Wanli had said all that he could; indeed, he couldn’t say any more.

Lu Ruiming stood at the door listening to them, unsure if he was included in ’you all’. He felt very uneasy now.

Huang Suzhen patted his back, "With Grandma here, you won’t be abandoned."

Lu Ruiming nodded, she was his last resort.

The next day, early in the morning, Lu Jianshe and Su Qing came over.

After finishing his work, and since his position was secure because of the fertilized egg, Lu Jianshe had taken a day off to take Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng out for some fun.

Upon seeing Lu Jianshe, Lun Wanli had so much he wanted to say. He looked at Lu Jianshe, who hadn’t even sat down yet, "Don’t you have anything to say to me?"

Lu Jianshe naturally knew what Lun Wanli was referring to, but he didn’t want to talk about it, "Say what? Father, you never seem to care about what I do, do you?"

Lun Wanli coughed twice, "Are, are you blaming me?"

In the past, because he needed to investigate the disappearance of Lu Ruisheng, he couldn’t afford to become too estranged from Lun Wanli otherwise how could he come over, how could he fish for information?

But now things were different. His nephew had returned, and they had plans. They were just waiting for the right moment to retaliate, so there was no need to continue speaking politely to the old man.

Lu Jianshe looked at Lun Wanli and nodded, "Yes, my brother and I had it worse than orphans. Having a stepmother indeed meant having a stepfather, that’s certainly true. It’s one thing if you didn’t care about us, but to use us to set up a facade, pretending to be affectionate – shouldn’t I blame you for that? I’m not stupid."

His words stunned Lun Wanli, and of course, not just him. Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, as well as Huang Suzhen and Lu Ruiming, had not expected Lu Jianshe to say such things.

Lun Wanli’s face changed again and again, "Do you even know what you’re talking about?"

Lu Jianshe nodded, "Of course I do. When I was little, after your favorite concubine beat me, she told you I got hurt fighting with other kids. Not only did I have to endure the beating from my stepmother, but I also had to be punished by you. When Lu Jiancheng actually got into a fight, your favorite concubine said he was acting heroically, and you even praised him."

At this point, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng no longer had the heart to mock the moniker ’Second Uncle’. They truly sympathized with him. What kind of life had he and Lu Jianguo lived as children?

Lun Wanli, unwilling to believe it, looked at Lu Jianshe, "Why didn’t you tell me the truth? Why keep all this bottled up inside?"

Lu Jianshe laughed until tears came down, "Really? I never told you? If I did, you would beat me more, because you believed the slander that I was lying. Over time, I didn’t bother telling you anymore. Isn’t it better to get beaten less?"

Huang Suzhen’s face went pale, "Second, you need to have evidence when you make such claims."

So many years had passed, she no longer had any evidence. She didn’t believe Lu Jianshe had any either.

Lu Jianshe took a USB pendant from around his neck, "Here is the evidence."

Gu Pan helpfully picked up her tablet from the table and passed it over.

Just as Lun Wanli was about to take it, Huang Suzhen clutched at her chest.

But before Huang Suzhen could speak, Gu Pan addressed her first, "Grandma, please don’t say you’re about to faint now, that would be too contrived. With things having come this far, do you think the Second Uncle only has this bit of evidence?"

Huang Suzhen awkwardly patted her chest, "I’m just feeling a little discomfort in my chest. When did I ever say I was going to faint? Don’t just make things up."

Gu Pan smiled, "That’s for the best."

Meanwhile, Lu Ruisheng had already connected the USB to the tablet and started playing the video for Lun Wanli.

The events of their very early childhood naturally weren’t recorded, because electronic goods only became popular in Huaxia Country in the 20th century, so there truly weren’t many ways to record video in the 90s.

These were all recorded later, when Lu Jianshe was alone with Huang Suzhen, leading her to reveal the truth about past events.
