Stockpiling in the Apocalypse: Supplies Forging a Legend of Survival

Hearing Wu Kangjian's words, Liu Ruyan finally had some impression.

Perhaps for Wu Kangjian, it had only been four years since they graduated from high school, so he still remembered his old classmate.

But for Liu Ruyan, it had been fourteen years ago. It was quite normal that she couldn't recall him immediately.

Liu Ruyan didn't feel embarrassed at all and just asked casually, "What's the matter with you?"

"You remembered me, didn't you?!"

Wu Kangjian said excitedly and walked even faster. He opened his arms and rushed towards Liu Ruyan.

"In the blink of an eye, we haven't seen each other for four years. I thought I would never see you again in my life. I didn't expect to meet you here..."

Before Wu Kangjian could reach Liu Ruyan, Liu Ruyan had already taken down the Tang knife hanging on her backpack.

Liu Ruyan held the handle of the knife, and the bottom of the scabbard was pressed against Wu Kangjian's chest. "What do you want to do?"

"I... I didn't mean to do anything!"

Wu Kangjian's voice was full of innocence. "I just thought that since we old classmates could meet in this situation, it would be okay to give each other a hug. Is there anything wrong with that?

Hey? Liu Ruyan, is this a Tang knife in your hand? I can tell it's a good knife just by looking at the scabbard. Where did you get it?

When we were at school before, you looked so gentle and quiet. I didn't expect that you could handle weapons now. It's all because of this damn post-apocalyptic world."

Wu Kangjian's tone was very familiar, as if they had been very close before.

However, during this short period of time, Liu Ruyan had carefully recalled her high school life.

Wu Kangjian had transferred to their class in senior three. At most, she and he could only be considered nodding acquaintances. They had hardly even spoken to each other, and there was no real friendship at all.

Such an old classmate acting so enthusiastically as soon as they met made Liu Ruyan feel very uncomfortable.

Liu Ruyan looked at the half-open door of the east household on the first floor. "Do you live here?"

"Yes!" Wu Kangjian nodded with a smile. "I worked in Rehe City. After this base was established, I came to the base with several classmates and colleagues and rented this house."

In this way, even if Wu Kangjian wasn't among the earliest batch of people who came to the base, he had arrived much earlier than Liu Ruyan.

At least when Liu Ruyan had just moved here, Wu Kangjian was already here.

Liu Ruyan had lived here for several months. Although she stayed at home a lot, she didn't completely stay indoors.

Why had Wu Kangjian never greeted her before?

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan gave Wu Kangjian a meaningful look. "Do you have anything else to say?"

"I..."

Wu Kangjian stared at Liu Ruyan for a while, and his voice became calmer. "Don't you want to talk to me? Since just now, your attitude has been rather cold.

I thought that in this situation, as old classmates, we could help each other and support each other in the future to make our lives better... It seems that I was overthinking it now."

Having said that, Wu Kangjian smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Also, just looking at what you're wearing, I can tell that you're living a good life.

I have nothing. I can't offer you any help. It's understandable that you look down on me."

Liu Ruyan gave Wu Kangjian an approving look. "It's good that you have self-knowledge. You're not too bad.

Since there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

After saying that, Liu Ruyan turned around and left.

Zhang Yuan, who had been standing by without saying a word, looked Wu Kangjian up and down. "She's right. Although you have nothing, at least you have self-knowledge."

After saying that, Zhang Yuan didn't give Wu Kangjian a chance to speak and strode quickly to catch up with Liu Ruyan in front.

Liu Ruyan heard the approaching footsteps and turned her head to look at Zhang Yuan. "What did you say to him?"

"Nothing. I just said that you were right."

Thinking of Wu Kangjian, a cold look appeared between Liu Ruyan's eyebrows.

He had never greeted her before, but now he suddenly came out to recognize her.

She would never believe that he had no ulterior motives.

Also, the man who had been peeping outside the fence gate before lived with Wu Kangjian.

Today's incident was very likely planned by the two of them.

Liu Ruyan didn't want any hidden dangers in her life. These two people had better be dealt with as soon as possible.

This time, neither Zhang Yuan nor Liu Ruyan borrowed the snowplow from the base.

Zhang Yuan's car could clear the snow on the road. Although it was a bit slower, it wasn't a big problem.

Taking their own car, the carriage was big enough to hold more things, and they could also feel more at ease.

As soon as Liu Ruyan opened the car door, she saw a gas stove and two iron pots in the trunk.

Beside them were boxes containing submachine guns and a small box. Liu Ruyan thought that it should be filled with bullets.

Before Liu Ruyan could ask, Zhang Yuan had already started to explain.

"I came down earlier this morning and put these things in the car first."

The two of them got into the car. After the temperature in the car rose a little, they drove out of the base.

Outside the base, everything was a vast expanse of white as far as the eye could see.

Even the tree trunks had turned white.

The main road outside the base had been cleared by the snowplow. Presumably, there should be other cars that had also left the base.

Perhaps they were on missions or going hunting.

Zhang Yuan drove the car on the main road for a while and then turned onto a side road.

Since they were going to practice shooting, of course they had to find a place farther away from the base.

It was originally very quiet in the car, but soon Zhang Yuan's voice rang out.

"A couple of days ago when I went out to handle some affairs, I met Captain Kong. He said that the search and rescue mission was almost over.

All the places that could be reached had been visited, and the survivors had all been brought back.

For places even farther away, the base was powerless.

After all, it's different from before the end of the world. If you want to go to even more distant places, not to mention whether the people can be rescued, it's even a question whether those on the mission can come back alive.

Although it's about rescue, we also have to act within our capabilities.

After all, in the post-apocalyptic world, everyone's life matters.

Liu Ruyan didn't find this strange.

In her previous life, the small and remote base where she lived had never received any rescue.

"The rescue mission is over, and the restoration of network communication in the base has been put on the agenda."

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan immediately turned her head and looked at Zhang Yuan with bright eyes.

It turned out that what was said before was just a prelude, and this was the key point.

Zhang Yuan took a look at Liu Ruyan. "It should take at most one month to restore the network."

Hearing the specific time, Liu Ruyan's eyes curved into crescent moons with a smile.

Although she was really good at staying at home and had a lot of entertainment videos to watch.

But if the network communication could be restored, it would be the icing on the cake for her!

"When the network communication is restored, it will be much more convenient for us to contact each other!"

Zhang Yuan's voice was filled with laughter, and he was in a very good mood.

Liu Ruyan was also very happy. "I don't know if WeChat can still be used. If it can, I'll add you as a friend!"
