Chapter 279: Chapter 279: The Gains on the Road

Gu Pan gathered all these items into her storage space, whether they would be useful in the future or could leave some technology behind in this world, she collected everything she could.

There was also a hot air balloon; although there was already one in the storage space, she didn’t hesitate to collect this one too.

Looking at those high-tech items, they felt sentimental; if it wasn’t for the apocalypse, technology would have progressed much further by now.

The two were now relatively free; whenever they were hungry or tired, they would enter the storage space to eat and sleep, and once rested, they would come out and continue their journey to gather resources.

After traveling for half a day, they reached a library, where Gu Pan picked out books that would be useful for the future and collected all the books from several shelves directly into the storage space.

These were placed directly in the lobby of the yacht to save space. If the yacht was needed later, these books could even remain there for everyone to read.

Of course, this wasn’t important; they could always switch locations later depending on the situation.

Afterward, they decided not to continue their journey but to stay there and prepare to spend the night.

Although it was always nighttime now, it was still time to sleep at night to ensure enough rest.

At night, the two sat on the rooftop of the library, looking at the stars in the sky, who would have thought, they could watch the stars all the time.

When they had some downtime, they also placed the gold bars given by Lun Wanli into the storage space, which now had an area of 28,920 square meters.

The jewelry given by the Second Aunt, Gu Pan stored those without gold in the storage space and wore those with gold on her body, because she could not bear to lose the intentions of the Second Aunt.

After a good night’s sleep, the next day they reached a museum with many historical artifacts.

Gu Pan and her companion didn’t know how to handle or store them, so she simply used her will to collect them into the storage space, and then did not move them, thinking that they would wait until they met someone knowledgeable to deal with them.

By now, Gu Pan’s storage space had become almost a small world of its own, encompassing everything.

On the way, there were fewer and fewer people; survivors were dwindling, and at nightfall, it was not so easy to see people, which made it even more desolate.

Two days later, they reached the gold mine.

As they passed a river nearby, they saw some old, weathered equipment in the river.

When they arrived at the entrance, the sign on the door had already fallen halfway, and the big door was also corroded and shabby from the acid rain.

After entering, there were no direction signs; the two rode their motorcycles slowly forward, looking around and searching for the refining plant.

When they arrived in front of a factory building, they got off the bike and checked every room until they eventually found a room filled with gold ore that had not been refined.

Curious, Gu Pan quickly collected several pieces into her storage space and then observed the changes on the electronic display within the space.

In a short while, the original 28,920 square meters had increased to 29,100 square meters, showing that the space could also automatically refine the materials.

Gu Pan hastily put the remaining pile into it, and the area immediately increased to 31,610 square meters.

Both became excited and quickly continued to search for this kind of ore, because the refined gold had been plundered long ago, and these ores, which were heavy and not necessarily marketable, were naturally untouched by most.

They found another room also filled with a lot of ore, which Gu Pan collected into the storage space.

This expanded the space to 34,800 square meters.

Afterward, they collected all the waste materials piled up outside, collecting any possible scrap materials they saw, although these did not contain as much gold, ultimately raising the space to 35,100 square meters.

However, they were still very satisfied with this and left with a joyful spirit to reunite with the main party, as there was nothing left ahead, and now they were only a few days away from No.7 Base.

The main forces were happy to see them return, as their presence seemed to bolster the team’s fighting spirit.

The trip back was smooth, and three days later, they finally saw the gates of No.7 Base.

At the gate, many guards recognized Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng and came over to greet them.

The two warmly responded.

After the checks, the pair followed the group back to No.7 Base.

It was just past 2 PM, but due to the polar night, it was dark, and to save energy, streetlights were sparse and placed far apart.

When they reached the central city area, the lighting was much better; the rows of department stores were lit, as was the office area.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng did not go home but went straight to the office of Lu Jianguo, as they needed to report everything that happened at the main base to their father immediately, these matters had been a long-standing concern of Lu Jianguo for many years.

Lu Jianguo also knew that they were coming back, just unsure about the exact time, and he was frequently looking towards the door, hoping they would return soon.

Finally, as he looked towards the door countless times, Lu Ruisheng, holding Gu Pan’s hand, walked in.

Both simultaneously exclaimed, "Dad, we’re back."

Lu Jianguo excitedly hurried over, patting Lu Ruisheng on the shoulder, "Was everything smooth on your way back?"

Lu Ruisheng nodded, "Very smooth, Dad, let’s sit down. I have a lot to tell you."

Lu Jianguo responded, "Good, good, sit down."

They all sat on the sofa, and Lu Jianguo poured them water.

Once seated, Lu Ruisheng began to tell Lu Jianguo about what happened over there concerning Lun Wanli, Huang Suzhen, and the Second Uncle and Second Aunt, Lu Lianlian.

Of course, he first briefly covered the key points, mainly that Huang Suzhen had confessed to all her crimes, and then, because of the matter with Lu Ruiming, she had literally died from anger.

After listening, Lu Jianguo first burst into laughter, but as he laughed, he suddenly began to cry. He buried his head in his hands, his body trembling uncontrollably; no one could truly understand what he was feeling at that moment.

For so many years, what he wanted was his father’s trust, a truth, but these questions had remained unanswered for so many years, and now, finally, he had them; he could be at peace.

Moreover, the wicked had received their due, Huang Suzhen’s death made him feel relieved.

Lu Ruisheng placed his hand on Lu Jianguo’s back, offering him strength and comfort.

After a while, Lu Jianguo raised his head; he wiped his tears and looked at his children apologetically, "After so many years, there’s finally a resolution, I’m thankful to have you."

Gu Pan said, "Dad, we won’t have any mental burdens anymore, life will be better."

Lu Jianguo nodded, "Yes, it will be better."

Lu Ruisheng said, "Dad, Grandfather wanted me to apologize to you on his behalf, although I don’t think it helps much, but it’s his debt to you, so I still needed to tell you."

Lu Jianguo accepted this calmly, "These years, he indeed owed too much to me and your second uncle. Even though Huang Suzhen is dead now, I suppose I and your second uncle might never be able to have the usual father-son relationship with your grandfather."

Gu Pan showed understanding, "Not all apologies can be forgiven."

Lu Jianguo also said, "Indeed, it’s been like this for many years, and now we’ve got our answers, and that resolves my concerns."

He looked at his watch, "I can’t leave work too early today, I still have to check the items sent over from the main base."

Lu Ruisheng said, "Ok, then we’ll head back first, get things sorted, and have dinner at home tomorrow night."

Lu Jianguo replied, "Good, you guys go back then."
