The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 19 Leaving the Supermarket

DAY13

After the five-person team from the hot pot restaurant finished getting their food, they rested at the supermarket for the night. They went to the parking lot through the staff entrance. Only Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang saw them off, mainly responsible for locking the door and bringing them back.

When Zhong Qiang returned, he vividly described how the five of them rushed out, pushing five supermarket shopping carts as they ran. It was a pity that a lot of food was spilled all over the ground. But the most regrettable thing was that the thinnest girl among them was blocked by zombies. She was soon integrated into the large group.

After this description, those in the supermarket who were unwilling to leave became even more determined, and even Ruan Wen was starting to back down.

In contrast, Lu Yuan and the others in dormitory 1203 were not in a hurry at all. After Lu Yuan put the armor on Wei Guo, he moved it to the electric fence by the gate and tested it a few times.

Later, Gu Nanfeng and Wei Guo adjusted the setup several times before finally determining that wearing this jumble of plastic would prevent zombies from attacking him from a distance of 5 meters. However, 5 meters was a critical point; zombies within 5 meters would immediately pounce on Wei Guo, at which point he would need to subdue the attacking zombie instantly, allowing others to finish it off. Because there was no real-world testing, theoretically, Wei Guo could quickly control about four zombies; any more than that and he would be crushed.

"It's alright. As long as your chip isn't damaged, you're still a hero!" Gu Nanfeng patted Wei Guo on the shoulder. As long as his core chip wasn't damaged, Gu Nanfeng could give him a new body at any time. It wasn't a big problem.

Yang Xiao, who had been eager to set off after Wei Guo's armor problem was solved, found the three people and the machine calmly sitting down again. They really weren't in a hurry at all.

"Urgent notice! Urgent notice! Shelters in Zones C and Y have been captured! The government urges citizens with sufficient supplies to find suitable places to take refuge in their current locations!"

Gu Nanfeng turned on the radio on Lu Yuan's phone again and listened to the latest broadcast report; the situation outside was even more serious.

"If we don't leave now, we might never be able to leave again." Zhong Qiang hesitated for a moment. Two more shelters had fallen, and now zombies were rampant. Going out now would most likely just help the zombies bolster their ranks.

The electric fence at the supermarket entrance started rustling again. Lu Yuan looked up and saw a figure waving at the door. It seemed that someone had escaped into the supermarket from somewhere else during the midday hour.

Yang Xiao, along with two male supermarket employees, went to open the door for them again. This time, a group of more than a dozen people came, which surprised Lu Yuan and the others.

"They said they were survivors from other shops in the mall. After seeing the five people from the hot pot restaurant come over, they first managed to gather together and then came together. A few of them died on the way," Yang Xiao explained briefly when he returned and saw the five puzzled faces.

“There are already more than thirty people in the supermarket now. I think some of them don’t look very good.” Lu Yuan glanced at the group of people who came in and started grabbing food like crazy. He had a feeling that these people were not good people.

"Xiao Yuan, I didn't know you could read faces," Pei Sihao joked, trying to lighten the mood.

"Let's pack up and leave now. We can take less water and food." Gu Nanfeng said this to Yang Xiao and the other two. On the one hand, if they took too much now, the dozen or so people who came in might not agree, so they wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble. On the other hand, they needed to empty their backpacks to go to the supermarket's warehouse to pack their things.

"Then we're off too, see you later!" Lu Yuan said goodbye to the few people in the supermarket and Zhu Nan and the others. Under the watchful eyes of the dozen or so people who came after him, he only took two packs of bread and two bottles of water. He was glared at by those people and withdrew his hand that was about to take something else. It wasn't that he wanted to take it, but he had to put on an act.

Finally, their six-person team took a world of difference in food compared to the five-person group who had gone to the hot pot restaurant earlier. They couldn't even fill a single bag.

"I told you so. If we had left before these people left, we wouldn't have ended up with nothing to take with us," Zhong Qiang said indignantly. "And now I have to carry this broken burden."

Just to be on the safe side, Wei Guo had his phone turned off and Zhong Qiang carried him on his back before he exited the employee passage.

"Who said we can't take anything with us?" After walking out of the employee passage and seeing that the door had been locked from the inside by the people who had brought them out, Pei Sihao led a group of people around the zombies to another safety door on the left rear of the employee passage.

He skillfully opened his backpack, took out a power bank, plugged it into the combination lock next to the security door, and powered it on. Then he quickly entered the code and opened the door. The group of people were completely stunned when they saw the supermarket warehouse full of goods.

Lu Yuan and Gu Nanfeng urged everyone to push into the warehouse before finally relaxing and closing the door.

"Why didn't you say so sooner that you had such a great place?" Zhong Qiang put down Wei Guo on his back and immediately rushed to the piles of goods, frantically stuffing food into his backpack. He stopped as he was stuffing, "Damn, with so much food, why are we even running? We might as well just stay here and wait until the end of time!"

Gu Nanfeng ignored him and followed Pei Sihao into the warehouse office. Pei Sihao knew that their family's chain supermarket warehouses were usually equipped with satellite phones, so they would most likely be able to contact their family here. If not, they would have to go to Gu Nanfeng's villa.

Lu Yuan had been following them like a little tail the whole way. Now was a good opportunity. The other three were all immersed in the joy of entering the supermarket warehouse, and their attention was not on them. He needed to confirm the next steps with them.

"Brother Gu, Brother Hao, are you planning to go to Beijing?" Lu Yuan asked from behind.

"I don't know yet, I need to find out more about the situation first." Gu Nanfeng did not give Lu Yuan a definite answer. "I know you want to go to the city center hospital, after all, your father is there."

"If all else fails, how about we go to the city's central hospital and get Xiao Yuan's dad out?" Pei Sihao roughly understood Lu Yuan's thoughts. Lu Yuan only had this one father left, and he was still in cryogenics in the hospital. In this situation, he definitely wouldn't want to go anywhere else, but this was such a good mobile storage space, and out of selfishness, he had to bring him along no matter what. "Cryogenics, can he be put into your space?"

That's a very good question, and Lu Yuan couldn't answer it either.

"Let's contact Beijing first to see what the situation is with this virus. If many places have been affected, we'll have to reconsider." Gu Nanfeng found the satellite phone in the office and tried calling his father in Beijing, but no one answered. He then tried calling Pei Sihao's brother, but it was busy...

"Xiao Yuan, you call me Brother Hao, Brother Feng, and Brother Gu. Does that mean you're closer to me?" Bored, Pei Sihao started to talk nonsense again.

Lu Yuan indicated that he didn't want to answer such a complicated question and just looked at him silently, which made Pei Sihao blush with embarrassment.

Who could stand being stared at by such big, watery eyes without moving?
