Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies

F{h*F5/% Voxes of instant noodles

“Galaxy, I need to talk to you.”

Just as Su Yinhe was feeling torn, Chi Yan, who had been watching from afar, suddenly walked over.

Hearing this, Su Yinhe quickly grabbed her tablet and made a run for it.

She wanted to watch the drama, not join the battle.

Let the two of them continue to argue, she’d take her leave first.

“What’s up?”

...

“Nothing. I noticed you didn’t seem like talking.” Chi Yan’s voice was cool, but his eyes were gentle.

“Thank you so much,” Su Yinhe said with a touched expression. How could someone be so considerate? He knew she was in an awkward situation.

“No need.” Chi Yan unobtrusively moved a little closer to Su Yinhe.

“By the way, were the egg tarts tasty? I made those before, and I thought they were quite good. However, for you, they might not be sweet enough.” Chi Yan knew how much she liked sugar; she would even eat it straight.

“I haven’t tried them yet, I’ll let you know once I do,” Chi Yan felt that the egg tarts should be very sweet. Just to his liking.

“Okay. I’ll make a cake in a few days and put in a lot of sugar. You’ll definitely like it.”

“Alright.” Chi Yan kept smiling as he watched Su Yinhe speak with sparkling eyes, always responding with a pleasant ‘alright’.

“However, you should also be careful normally. You can’t eat sweet things all the time. You’re young now and don’t have to worry, but you might get diabetes or high blood pressure when you’re older.” In this world without medicine, getting such diseases… would probably be no different from death.

“Mm. I’ll listen to you.”

The atmosphere between the two was very harmonious, while Lin Murong watching their retreating backs was a bit dumbfounded. He watched for a while, then turned to make eye contact with Qin Mingzhou, and both of them simultaneously turned away.

…

Qin Mingzhou had two thousand dollars and had bought a lot of stuff, too much for him to carry on his own, so he called a bunch of his boys to help him move it back to the cave, and told them to stay there afterward and keep an eye on it.

He was the last to leave, as he wanted to strengthen his bond with his sister Galaxy.

With relationships, shamelessness was sometimes necessary.

A few more conversations, and just like that, a bond was formed.

Qin Mingzhou didn’t just gain a sister after his outing; he also acquired a stash of supplies.

The people in the cave didn’t see the sister, but they did see Qin Mingzhou’s boys moving supplies back and forth.

Look at that, boxes of instant noodles, canned food, sausages, bread…

Qin Mingzhou was a powerful Superpower User, and those living near him felt a bit more secure, knowing his strength might offer them some protection.

They couldn’t beat Qin Mingzhou, so no matter how much they coveted those supplies, no one dared to steal them. Besides, Qin Mingzhou’s boys were circling around them, so they could only drool and look on with longing.

Many tried to probe Qin Mingzhou’s boys for information.

The boys had seen Qin Mingzhou insisting on making Su Yinhe his sister; they wouldn’t dare to reveal any information about her.

Despite Qin Mingzhou’s usually cheerful demeanor, if he got angry and started to get tough…

They shivered at the thought.

As for the others who returned later, they also kept their mouths shut. Although they weren’t Qin Mingzhou’s boys, seeing him constantly calling Su Yinhe his sister, they dared not speak out.

Qin Mingzhou had claimed he would protect the Galaxy Supermarket, so they worried that careless talk might reach him and cause trouble for them.

Moreover, in the apocalypse survivors this long, few were unselfish. They had their own gains and naturally didn’t want others to find out that supplies from the supermarket had been moved to the mountaintop, competing with them.

Thus, despite the various interrogations in the cave, no one managed to find out where they got the supplies from.

Threats or bribes, nobody was willing to spill the beans.

Those who came back watched the interrogators like they were guarding against thieves.

Once the boss, Qin Mingzhou, returned, he was immediately surrounded by Superpower Users who were probing for information.

“Brother Qin, where did you get all these good things?” He had observed and noticed that Qin Mingzhou had the most stuff. Those people probably kept silent mostly because of Qin Mingzhou.

“None of your damn business!” Qin Mingzhou wasn’t all smiles when it came to people he disliked.

“You… Qin Mingzhou, we’re all from the same base. You’ve gotten so many good things while we’re starving to death. Can’t you lend us a hand?” The person who asked was bluntly pushed back by Qin Mingzhou and immediately turned pale with anger. He was a powerful Superpower User himself and couldn’t stand being humiliated in front of so many others by Qin Mingzhou.

“Lend a hand? Sun Qi. When you say that, touch your own face and see if you deserve it.” Qin Mingzhou spoke with a careless air, sucking on a lollipop, and then he reached out and patted Sun Qi’s face.

This gesture wasn’t greatly hurtful but was extremely insulting.

“You… don’t go too far, Qin Mingzhou.” Sun Qi stepped back after the action, realizing he had just lost face in front of Qin Mingzhou.

“How am I going too far? Hit me then. Dare you?” Qin Mingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

“You…”

“Come on.” Qin Mingzhou provocatively lifted the left side of his face.

“Tch, if you don’t dare, then stop yapping. What era do you think this is, trying to play the morality card with me?” Qin Mingzhou didn’t lack much, but coincidentally, one of those things was morality.

After saying this, Qin Mingzhou ignored Sun Qi’s ashen face and began checking the supplies he brought back.

Two thousand yuan; it wasn’t a lot but also not too little. He planned to buy some things, but when he was moving them, it felt a bit much, yet when he got back, the small pile he had seemed too little.

Qin Mingzhou pondered what level of Crystal Core he would use for trade next time.

He used to enjoy smashing zombies’ heads, especially high-level zombies, as the quality was top-notch. He had quite a few high-level crystal cores in his possession, an entire small bag of them.

So he wasn’t too worried about that. What concerned him now was that he had forgotten to ask his sister what color of crystal core she liked.

Maybe… he would bring that whole bag over tomorrow and let his sister pick her favorite.

The more Qin Mingzhou thought about it, the better he felt the idea was.

Those who had been to the Galaxy Supermarket didn’t want to divulge the supermarket’s information, but those in the caves kept a constant eye on their movements. It wasn’t long before they noticed that these people were sneaking up the mountain top through the heavy rain every day.

And they always returned with supplies.

There it was; they had been discovered.

The Superpower Users who had been watching followed those people up the mountain through the rain and found the Galaxy Supermarket.

Great!

They finally found the place Qin Mingzhou was hiding.@@novelbin@@

The Superpower Users who found the location became arrogant, thinking of robbing the supermarket while Qin Mingzhou was absent.

And then…

They got beaten up and put on the blacklist.

Qin Mingzhou who rushed over dragged them back and gave them a good thrashing.

Dare to mess with his sister? That was seeking death.

Seeing this, others who had thought to take advantage of the chaos played it safe, honestly trading crystal cores for money to buy goods.

Then they would take the goods back, and while the people from other caves still didn’t know, they sold the instant noodles and bread they’d bought at a high price, earning more crystal cores to buy even more supplies.

Because it wouldn’t be long before the people from the other caves got wind of the news, and their profiteering would come to an end.

They had to make a fortune while the others were still in the dark.

The news about the Galaxy Supermarket spread far and wide, with more and more people going there to buy stuff.

Although many had heard of the Galaxy Supermarket, they were in the base previously, and they didn’t dare to leave the base easily. It could be a scam or they might encounter something outside without anyone to protect them.

But now, many who escaped during the torrential rain without bringing anything were close to starvation.

The base had dispatched people to distribute food, but as it was handed out, the food became less and less.

First, it was flatbread, then it turned to porridge, which got thinner and thinner, and now it had become just water.

Since they were going to starve anyway, it was worth the gamble. Maybe they really could exchange crystal cores for food.
