Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies

Chapter 196: A pond

Chapter 196: A pond

Su Yinhe’s supermarket had opened, but there was only one wave of customers who usually came at nightfall.

So her days were leisurely.

Even though she didn’t have to do anything when customers were there, as the checkout was handled by a small robot, it was quite relaxing.

But ever since they discovered she was a woman, they started clinging to her.

Each time they came to shop, they would seek her out to chat and ask questions.

Especially after learning that she was the owner of the supermarket, their admiration for her was like a relentless river, constantly praising her.

A few younger ones even treated her as their idol.

They even vowed to open their own supermarkets and become big bosses in the future.

Su Yinhe: “…”

Opening a supermarket was possible, but there were no suppliers.

Unless someone among them also got hit by a newbie system.

Speaking of which, when would her dear Tongzi come to find her? The food she packed from her old world had already been consumed by more than half.

Had she known it would be consumed so quickly, she would have bought more.

She was worried it wouldn’t be enough.

Now, most of the time, the food she ate was made by herself.

The food she brought back from her world was reserved for special treat times.

But because Lin Murong ate so much and was very good at playing the victim, she’d often find much of the food in her space gone in a blink.

Thinking that she was the one who took it made her heart ache.

She truly missed Tongzi now.

It seemed Tongzi’s current host wasn’t cutting it.

Not as good as the last one.

Speaking of those women, they really liked Su Yinhe.

Lin Murong, who helped them daily, couldn’t compare to her.

Even though Lin Murong was always helping, for some reason, they still preferred Su Yinhe.

Perhaps it was because of their time in Eden Garden, they harbored an aversion to men and liked Su Yinhe who shared their gender more.

They knew Su Yinhe had visited other bases before and were excited, eagerly inquiring about Sun Base and Apple Base.

After Su Yinhe roughly told them, they were clearly more interested in Apple Base where they could eat apples.

Their eyes sparkled with excitement, becoming more thrilled as they listened.

“Do you want to go?”

“Yes. We probably won’t stay here forever.” This place was just a temporary refuge.

Their current location was too close to Sweetheart Base.

Sweetheart Base wasn’t sending people out now, and no one was active outside, due to the wildly growing plants during this period forcing them to stay within the base.

But during the next apocalypse, they might start moving around.

Their not-so-concealed home would be discovered.

If discovered, they would have to return to Eden Garden, with an outcome worse than before.

They had fallen in love with life on the outside, returning to their previous lives was worse than death for them.

So, they wanted to move from here.

To a new base.

The conditions at Apple Base were very tempting, and they also had a good impression of Lin Musen, the leader of the base.

In their words, “A person who likes apple trees can’t be all that bad.”

In this respect, Su Yinhe found it hard to comment.

She chose to keep quiet; with them so excited, it wasn’t good to say something that might discourage them.

But in this world, it was still best not to put too much trust in one person.

A mistake could mean death.

Or a fate worse than death.

Seeing Su Yinhe so popular made Lin Murong very jealous.

“I’m running around every day, killing zombies and digging up Crystal Cores, my hands are about to fall off. And yet they like you better. Where’s the justice in that? I can’t accept this.” Lin Murong muttered into Su Yinhe’s ear.

“You could ask the heavens about justice if you want, but don’t ask me. I’m just an ordinary supermarket owner.”

“An ordinary supermarket owner? That statement doesn’t make sense at all. How can you be ordinary if you’re a supermarket owner?” Nowadays, he had only seen Galaxy owning a supermarket.

And such a large one at that.

Even though he had been at the supermarket for so long, Lin Murong still felt envious every time he walked in, he felt a shock to his soul.

Damn, so many things.

How long could he eat from this?

Lin Murong thought that if there had been no apocalypse, being a big supermarket owner would definitely be blissful. He’d hire some staff and then just lie back and rake in the cash.

How joyful that would be.

But that kind of joy was too far away now.

For him, forget about opening a supermarket, he would be overjoyed if only those natural disasters would stop coming.

Not just him, everyone would be happy.

Without disasters, given time, they would eventually rebuild their homes.

Restore the prosperity from ten years ago.

“I think it fits very well.” Su Yinhe pushed up her glasses; she had been staying up late binge-watching series, and her eyesight wasn’t great anymore.

She now had to wear anti-blue light glasses when playing with her phone, at least it was some protection.

“Since it’s your supermarket, you call the shots. What are we eating tonight?”

Su Yinhe paused, pushing her glasses. She really didn’t understand how the topic had shifted to tonight’s dinner so abruptly.

Lin Murong’s transition was seamless.

“I’m fine with anything.” She wasn’t picky.

Rarely disliked anything, nor had anything she particularly favored.

She also had a bit of decision-making difficulty.

But she didn’t seem to struggle with choices when eating with the two of them.

She just went with their opinions, so she didn’t have to choose.

“Hehehe… then let’s have beggar’s chicken. Shall we cook it now?” This was what Lin Murong had been craving for the past few days.

He had followed them out hunting zombies a few days ago and saw a Mutated Plant whose leaves looked like lotus leaves.

Very vicious.

It looked ordinary, but if something touched that leaf, the lotus-like leaf would quickly wrap around it, and when it opened back up, there was nothing left inside.

These leaves varied in size; the largest could wrap around several people, the smallest could wrap around a finger.

And when that leaf wrapped around something, it would become extremely hard.

If you weren’t careful, and a finger got wrapped, it would snap right off.

Terrifying.

Back then, seeing how much it resembled a real lotus leaf, he even thought about touching it. It had been so long since he’d last seen a lotus leaf, the last time was… still the last time.

If he hadn’t seen a mutated fly that passed by getting swallowed by the “lotus leaf”, he might have lost a finger.

After mutating, the flies had become particularly large and grew a hard shell, a challenge for most Superpower Users.

And that mutated fly wasn’t low level, but it was still eaten by the “lotus leaf”.

Easily and effortlessly, the mutated fly didn’t even have time to struggle.

Though the “lotus leaf” was slightly vicious, it didn’t stop him from thinking of beggar’s chicken.

Thinking of the aroma and taste of beggar’s chicken made Lin Murong salivate wildly.

“If you want to eat, go grab the ingredients from the supermarket; there are dried lotus leaves in there…”

“Chi Yan has them, I remember he collected a pond.”

Su Yinhe: “???”

You can collect that too?
