Chapter 106: Disbandment on the 19th Floor

The Sheng family's enemy? Isn't that the Jing family?

She didn't know much about the Jing family, only that they were a wealthy family second only to the Sheng family before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, the Jing family moved to Haicheng. Their private base in Haicheng was built by the Jing family and named Jingyang Base, implying that they would live in the apocalypse with the Jing family.

"Su Cheng, I don't want to get involved in your affairs, but let me remind you that Grandpa Su wants you to live well!" He paused and continued, "How can you be sure that the Jing family will help you? Besides, do you know where the Jing family is?"

Seeing the worry and concern in Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo's eyes, Su Cheng sighed and said, "I once saved the life of the old man of the Jing family. He said that he could grant me one wish in return for saving his life! I will use this wish to find him and ask them to help me get revenge!"

Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo didn't believe Su Cheng's words at all. Maybe Su Cheng didn't believe it either, he just gave them a reason to believe it.

Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo didn't expose Su Cheng, and Su Cheng also understood, "When do you plan to leave?"

"The sooner the better!" But first, we need to gather all the supplies! A car and gasoline.

From the moment Su Cheng decided to leave, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo accompanied him to look for supplies. The imperial capital was empty. They searched for several days and found a half-new and water-soaked medium-to-large SUV in the underground warehouse of a car club in the Second Ring Road.

They towed the car back to the community, and then continued to look for auto parts to modify the medium and large SUV. They wanted to modify the SUV into a bulletproof and explosion-proof vehicle to make the car stronger and more sturdy.

Lu Xingtang found several car clubs on the offline map, and searched almost all the car clubs in the imperial capital, and finally found modification materials and car parts.

After bringing it back to the community, Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng spent seven or eight days to modify the car.

The back seat took up some space and was not convenient for storing his belongings, so he threw away the back seat.

Now that he had found a car, he needed to find gasoline. Su Cheng still had some gasoline, but it wasn't enough to get him to his destination, so he had to go out and look for it. The gasoline at the major gas stations had long been taken away by the government or other survivors.

After searching for two or three days in a row, Lu Xingtang even suffered from heatstroke, but still couldn't find the gasoline.

Ji Yanmo felt sorry for Lu Xingtang and asked him to rest at home while they went out to look for gasoline. Su Cheng felt bad and didn't want Lu Xingtang to be exposed to the sun with him, as she had gotten tanned.

Lu Xingtang really didn't want to go out in the sun; it hurt her skin. "Su Cheng, go look for Luo Yuxing. He's a middleman, maybe he has gasoline! If you can't find him, go to Jicheng!"

Su Cheng: "I'll go out and find Luo Yuxing. Ji Yanmo, you take care of Lu Xingtang."

Ji Yanmo did not go with Su Cheng. Watching Su Cheng drive away, Ji Yanmo immediately took out the air conditioner from the space, plugged in the battery, and the cool air from the air conditioner blew. Lu Xingtang sighed comfortably: "What if Su Cheng can't find gasoline?" If he really can't find it, he will have to walk.

"If you really can't find it, you can help him out and ask him to exchange it for supplies, or you can use your old method and hide some gasoline somewhere and let him find it!"

Lu Xingtang was silent for a moment: "Let's see what the situation is first!"

Two hours later, Su Cheng returned happily. He found Luo Yuxing, who had gasoline in his hand. He planned to trade his gun and medicine for gasoline. Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo breathed a sigh of relief, "Then trade! But, don't trade everything. You must keep some weapons and medicine for yourself."

Su Cheng used 5 guns, 30 rounds of bullets and three boxes of cold medicine to exchange for 200L of gasoline from Luo Yuxing.

After Su Cheng got his gasoline back, he began packing up the household supplies. He kept a month's worth of food, oil, rice, flour, seasonings, and other daily necessities, and gave the rest, along with diesel, unused medicine, and empty guns with bullets, to Ji Yanmo. He also exchanged honeycomb coal and a stove with Ji Yanmo. The stove he had previously stockpiled was too large to take with him, so he gave it to Lu Xingtang and the others.

If they ever leave the imperial capital, they won’t take anything with them and will just throw it away!

There were two gas cans at home, but he didn't dare take them with him, fearing they would explode on the road due to the extreme heat. He left them with Lu Xingtang, who filled his water tank and asked Ji Yanmo to carry them to the car, as he needed water during the extreme heat. He also gave Su Cheng some saltpeter, asking him to use it to cool the car while he was away, so that his supplies wouldn't spoil.

We took away all the supplies we could from home, even tying them up on the roof of the car. As for the supplies we couldn't take away, we'd see if Lu Xingtang and the others needed them. If not, we'd just throw them away!

Most of Su Hao's belongings were buried with him in the coffin. The rest were quilts and clothes he had used, which Su Cheng couldn't take with him. He only took a few light clothes and some small items. The rest... had to be thrown away.

That night, Su Cheng went to the Xishan Cemetery to say goodbye to Su Hao. When he came back, his eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo were both in his sight.

The day before leaving, Su Cheng personally cooked a table of dishes and invited Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo to dinner, which was also their farewell dinner.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was depressing and everyone felt heavy-hearted. They all understood that after this farewell, they might never see each other again.

Lu Xingtang looked at Su Cheng, as if he saw the Su Cheng he saw at the Shuanglong Base in his previous life, decadent and helpless, as if he had lost the faith to live.

Seeing that Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo didn't move their chopsticks, Su Cheng raised his wine glass. He didn't know where Lu Xingtang had stockpiled the white wine from, but it smelled so good. He hadn't smelled such a fragrant smell of wine in a long time.

Su Cheng raised his glass. "The first glass of wine. Ever since the apocalypse broke out and Lu Xingtang helped me look after my dad, the three of us have been tied together. At first, we just wanted to protect our supplies and the 19th floor! Later, we went out to search for supplies many times, and experienced life and death. We are no longer just ordinary allies, we are family!"

Having said that, he downed the liquor in one gulp. "Thank you. If one day in the future, we are both well and can meet again, I hope there will be a chance for us to form an alliance! As long as we can trust each other by then!"

"Second glass of wine, Lu Xingtang, I toast you, thank you. My father was able to live so long after the apocalypse because of your dedicated treatment and care, otherwise he would have died long ago! I will always remember this kindness! If one day in the future, I am not dead and we can meet again, I will definitely thank you very much!"

"The third glass of wine is for Ji Yanmo. When we were out searching for supplies at the beginning of the apocalypse, we encountered danger many times, and it was you who saved me! Your life-saving grace is greater than anything else. You and Lu Xingtang must stay alive and well. I will definitely find a way to repay your kindness."

Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo did not stop him from drinking. They knew that Su Cheng was feeling very sad and that getting drunk was not a bad thing.

But they had no idea that Su Cheng drank three cups, and as soon as he put down the third cup, he fell to the ground before he even sat on the chair, and then fell into a deep sleep.
