Chapter 23 Shopping Together
Chapter 23 Shopping Together
Jiang Daoba initially didn't want to pay attention to her, but he was a little confused by the information conveyed in her few rapid-fire sentences.
"Tch, bullshit! What time is it? Supermarket? That's hilarious!" The young woman scoffed and rolled her eyes at her.
"Brother, everything I said is true. I witnessed it with my own eyes! When I got this news, the first person I thought of was Scarface. I really want to make amends. Please believe me this time!"
"Think about it, I know the consequences of coming back, so why should I take the risk!"
Li Liling could tell that Jiang Daoba already believed more than half of what she said, so she continued to intensify her brainwashing.
Li Liling wouldn't try to atone for her sins; she just wanted to use Jiang Daoba's men to get some supplies.
She didn't have any crystals to buy them. The supplies in that supermarket must be very expensive, but life without food and drink was really too hard!
The man she eloped with died in a horde of zombies.
Without a man's protection, Li Liling, a woman without any special abilities, faces immense difficulties in this post-apocalyptic environment...
She really didn't want to die, and she was afraid of dying.
So when she saw Lucky Supermarket, her instinct was to get supplies, which is why she thought of her ex.
Jiang Daoba grinned, his eyes narrowed into slits, as he considered Li Liling's words.
As she said, she had already been away for more than half a year, so there was no need for her to come back and die.
But Li Liling is no better; she's just a selfish and foolish woman.
If what she says is true, let her lead the way. We can deal with her after we get the so-called 'supermarket' supplies.
Who wouldn't want abundant supplies?
Living in this difficult era, he didn't really believe what the woman said.
It's all because Li Liling's words were too captivating.
Eggs, milk, hot meals...
Those were things he could only see in his dreams.
His daily life wasn't much better; he only ate one meal a day, and his men were only given food every two or three days.
"If you dare to tell a single lie, I'll personally remove every single one of your teeth!"
Jiang Daoba squatted down, grabbed Li Liling's neck viciously, and said, word by word.
Li Liling's face flushed instantly, and she nodded with great difficulty.
Liangzi and the young woman beside him both swallowed hard.
If this information is reliable, then Liangzi, as the boss's most trusted person, will definitely find an opportunity to secretly hide some this time. Everyone looks out for themselves!
Damn it, if the boss really gets the supplies, will the sister-in-law's position be in danger? The young woman's eyes darted around, and she unconsciously started biting her nails.
Li Liling calmed down and started thinking about how to get the supplies.
Several people harbored ulterior motives, their expressions revealing a complex mix of emotions.
Supplies were of paramount importance. Jiang Daoba was extremely anxious and gave Li Liling no time to catch her breath before immediately gathering his men and setting off.
Upon hearing that there were fresh supplies, his men were all in high spirits, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
... ...
a new day.
Lucky Supermarket is spotless.
Shannai had just finished cleaning the shop and was sitting at a table by the window, enjoying her breakfast.
Today I had shrimp rice noodle rolls with a fruit smoothie.
The plump, rosy shrimp, visible through the paper-thin rice paper, look incredibly appetizing. Dipped in the special sauce, they are smooth, bouncy, and leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.
"So delicious!" Shan Nai swallowed a mouthful of rice noodle roll, her little face puffed out, and she squinted her eyes happily.
Eat more, it's delicious! Our ingredients and cooking methods are the absolute best!
The system spoke in a cutesy voice, brimming with confidence.
"Dingling bell~"
Before Shannai could respond, the wind chimes on the supermarket door rang out with a clear sound.
A guest has arrived.
Shannai picked up a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, but did not get up immediately. Instead, she looked toward the door.
The woman who entered the room was short and petite, followed by a middle-aged man with a stubble beard.
His slender frame was encased in oversized, ill-fitting work clothes, and he was clearly shocked by the sight before him as soon as he stepped into the supermarket.
His face was gaunt, and his doe-like eyes trembled.
He Xiaoyu rushed over early in the morning. Several days had passed since she heard the supermarket's opening announcement the day before, and she was worried that the supermarket's supplies would be sold out.
But even with her abilities, it would take her a lot of effort just to get to that address safely.
There are still many dangers along the way.
Fortunately, they met an older brother named Sun Gui on the way. After learning that they were going to the same destination, they traveled together.
"Welcome." Yamana smiled as she looked at the two people who entered the store.
Sun Gui stood under the supermarket's central air conditioning, savoring the extremely luxurious and absurdly cool feeling. He let out a long sigh, "Phew, that's awesome!"
"Hi! Little auntie~ Oh no, hi, little beauty boss!" Sun Gui also waved excitedly at Shan Nai.
He made the right decision to come out of the underground parking garage to see what was happening after hearing the loudspeaker announcement that day.
Before setting off today, he didn't forget to call his companions, but his companion Wang Laoliu still didn't believe that there were supermarkets in the apocalypse, firmly believing that it was a scam, a murder and robbery hoax.
Left with no other choice, he had to part ways with Wang Laoliu.
Fortunately, the young lady riding the electric bike wasn't lying to him; she really did own a supermarket.
Wow, that's incredibly extravagant!
Wow, so many supplies!
Not to mention He Xiaoyu, who was stunned and didn't move, even this old man almost drooled.
Yamana noticed that the man looked somewhat familiar and quickly recalled, "Oh~ I ran into you a few days ago on my way to the promotion, didn't I?"
She remembered that she had encountered the first living man, an old man, while riding her electric scooter with a string of zombies.
Sun Gui nodded with a big smile, "Yes, yes, yes! I've seen them before, hehe, little boss, how much do you want to buy these things?"
The supplies were like alluring beauties, making him extremely anxious.
Shan Nai had just finished the last sip of her fruit smoothie when she put her tray into the dish return area. She quickly moved to the cashier and pointed to the shopping instructions hanging on the wall.
They then briefly explained how to redeem the currency.
The two listened very attentively.
But He Xiaoyu's attention gradually shifted entirely to Shan Nai.
after all...
She's a sucker for good looks; the young boss is so beautiful, she looks so sweet and soft, cute and wonderful.
She is gentle to people and speaks with patience and pleasantness. Even a typical office worker like her can't help but take a few more glances at her.
In this filthy and chaotic post-apocalyptic world, the small business owner is truly an enchanting jasmine flower.
A strong sense of protectiveness gradually rose within He Xiaoyu.
"Little Yu, I've already changed, why are you still standing there!" Sun Gui nudged He Xiaoyu beside him with his elbow while holding his membership card.
This young girl has had a tough time; she probably hasn't recovered from the shock yet.
However, the shop owner said that if you don't buy anything, you can only stay in the supermarket for five minutes, so I'll remind her.
When He Xiaoyu came to her senses, she met Shan Nai's smiling eyes and immediately lowered her head, blushing slightly.
"Uh, okay, please wait a moment." He Xiaoyu awkwardly rummaged through her small bag.
Shannai rested her chin on her hand, leaning against the cashier counter, reassuring her not to rush.
She can understand the feeling of hope when someone in dire straits encounters it.
