Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies

Chapter 199: a numb face Chapter 199: a numb face Chen Yuan had become a couch potato.

Without the internet, he was just like any pre-apocalypse couch potato—actually, he was even worse than a couch potato.

He constantly needed something in his mouth to eat, feeling anxious whenever he wasn’t eating.

He was scared but powerless.

The women who had escaped from Eden Garden had adapted to life outside. They bought tons of stuff from Su Yinhe’s supermarket.

Su Yinhe felt it was time to leave.

Knowing the supermarket was going to disappear made the women reluctant to part with it, so they rushed to spend all the Crystal Cores they had saved up.

They indulged in a rare luxury, buying just a little bit of snacks.

Just a little bit.

A pack of spicy strips, a pack of candy.

They even had to split the spicy strips in half to share amongst themselves.

In the end, Su Yinhe couldn’t bear to watch and gave them a big snack gift pack.

Their eyes welled up with tears as they gathered around Su Yinhe, expressing how much they would miss her.

Lin Murong: “???”

Isn’t he leaving too? Why isn’t anyone sad about him leaving?

Are they really going to miss Galaxy or the supermarket?

It must be the supermarket, definitely.

It’s absolutely not because he isn’t as likable as Galaxy.

Lin Murong sourly consoled himself.

Of course, when they left, they left Eden Garden a little “gift” as a farewell.

They couldn’t do much, but leaving a small gift was possible.

It was like a little help for Shen Qingran.

After visiting two bases already, Lin Murong thought of heading to a third. He was feeling a bit sentimental until he saw the group of women surrounding Su Yinhe—then he suddenly lost his sentimentality.

What sentimentality? Did he even deserve to feel that way?

He did not.

Hmph.

Definitely not just sour grapes.

“Do you guys not want to go back and see your friends?” Su Yinhe asked them, thinking they had visited two bases and could perhaps return to Sun Base for a couple of days.

“Friends? Don’t have any,” Lin Murong said without a second thought.

Su Yinhe looked over at Chi Yan.

Chi Yan: “…”

Lin Murong: “Chi Yan, he’s not my friend. He’s my brother, right, Brother Chi?”

Chi Yan: “…”

Chi Yan tilted his head; he didn’t want to talk.

He was tired.

Being with Lin Murong for too long could be exhausting.

“I’m fine with anything, just pick wherever you want to go,” Chi Yan said.

“Well, let’s go to the next one then,” Su Yinhe decided. She had a few people in this world who she could consider friends, but she wasn’t particularly attached to them.

In this world, she was reluctant to give away deep emotional attachments too easily.

People die too easily here.

If the attachment is too deep, when someone dies, it would make her very sad.

Affect her appetite.

Thinking this, Su Yinhe felt she might be a bit cold-hearted. Who could have such a thought?

Not good.

She tried to change.

Unsuccessfully.

This next base had been carefully chosen by Su Yinhe and Lin Murong, even leading to a dispute between them.

In the end, Su Yinhe won out.

What a joke, after all, she was the owner of the supermarket, and even if she lost, she would go wherever she wanted.

She could completely change her mind.

Lin Murong hadn’t realized what was happening until Su Yinhe shifted the supermarket, then it dawned on him.

What was there to argue about? Whether he won or lost, didn’t it all end the same way?

He was truly foolish, really.

Sob sob sob…

The most ridiculous part was that he actually lost.

That’s just too much.

It must be because he hasn’t argued with anyone in a while and has gotten rusty. He definitely needs more practice.

And the base that Su Yinhe chose this time was indeed well-suited for him to practice.

Su Yinhe had chosen a very chaotic base.

The two bases they had visited before, well, there’s no need to mention Apple Base; there was plenty of food and drink, and once people’s basic needs were met, most would pay attention to their behavior and appearance.

They would dress in clothes that were still fairly clean and tidy.

At Sweetheart Base, although it was shabby inside, it still looked golden on the outside.

The clothes most people wore seemed unwashed for quite a while, but at a casual glance, they still managed to look barely clean.

But the base they were visiting this time was dirty, messy, and terrible, and the people inside moved like the walking dead. They had originally planned to sneak in quietly, but found it wasn’t easy.

Their scent alone was something they couldn’t imitate.

Lin Murong thought, maybe they could buy the tattered clothes off them, and then try to blend in wearing them…

But those clothes were truly filthy, so dirty that even he would refuse to use them to clean his shoes.

If he found them disgusting, then Su Yinhe, a girl, would be even more so.

Not to mention Chi Yan and his obsession with cleanliness.

This base was called Hope Base.

But looking at it, it didn’t seem like there was any hope at all.

Around this base, there were many, many zombies wandering outside.

This was the base with the highest number of zombies they had seen on the outside during this trip.

At Sun Base, where they stayed before, the base routinely sent out people to clear the zombies, continuously expanding outwards, wiping out wave after wave of zombies.

Further, Su Yinhe had opened up a supermarket there.

That made things even crazier.

There was not a single zombie to be found in the vicinity.

Apple Base had a special apple tree, which also kept any zombies from approaching.

Sweetheart Base would also organize people to clear the zombies, and although there were zombies outside the base, they were not numerous.

Once those women knew that zombies’ Crystal Cores could be exchanged for money, to be spent in the supermarkets, they nearly eradicated all the nearby zombies.

They even had to go farther afield in search of zombies.

But Hope Base was something else altogether.

When they first arrived, they noticed many zombies wandering around Hope Base, whose walls were low and in disrepair.

Even so, people were still coming and going from Hope Base every day, most of them ordinary people.

In the morning, they would walk out of the base with numb expressions, cautiously avoiding the zombies outside the base.

As dusk approached, some returned with their hands full, joy on their faces, and their movements when dodging zombies were much more sprightly.

Others returned empty-handed.

Their expressions were even more numb than when they had left in the morning, and they lethargically avoided the zombies.

Then there were a few more slow-moving zombies.

Lin Murong felt shocked.

Why were there so many ordinary people in Hope Base?

Why could he almost never see any Superpower Users coming out of the base?

There were only one or two, and their superpowers were not very strong.

When they came and went, they did not have to queue; they just cut straight through.

And the people who were cut in line didn’t say a word, just silently stepped back, still with that numb expression on their faces.

As if they didn’t care at all about someone cutting in line.

“There couldn’t be just two Superpower Users in their base, could there?” Lin Murong frowned in thought.

They hadn’t managed to blend in yet.

Mainly because they didn’t really want to wear those ragged clothes, nor did they want to make themselves dirty.

They had their pride.

Although he hadn’t gone in, Lin Murong went to observe every day.

For someone as large as him, he was actually quite conspicuous, although he felt that he was hiding quite well, but he had been spotted several times.

However, the people who spotted him would just glance at him indifferently, then continue to walk with their heads lowered, their faces numb.
