Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies

Chapter 201: Full of external devices Chapter 201: Full of external devices “Who bathes with a steel wool scrubber?”

Besides, he isn’t from the northeast, and he doesn’t like scrubbing baths.

Lin Murong clutched his chest, frightened, and took two steps back.

Su Yinhe: “…”

Su Yinhe rolled her eyes.

Lin Murong wasn’t some innocent girl, why do that? It made her seem like a thug.

“Galaxy, girls shouldn’t be so rough.” Lin Murong’s skin was still red, and he dared not move carelessly, feeling a bit of pain whenever his clothes rubbed.

Chi Yan had been too, too harsh.

He really scrubbed his skin raw.

Lin Murong truly regretted that set of clothes, which he had exchanged for food and had not yet been fully utilized.

Now it had been burned.

But what could be done?

Chi Yan was the one who burned it, and Su Yinhe had handed him the lighter.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t do anything about either of them.

He could only mourn the dirty clothes alone, in tears.

Those clothes were originally soft, but perhaps because they had been worn for too long, both the clothes and the pants had turned stiff.

They were so heavy that they could stand on the ground when taken off.

Normally, they wouldn’t be allowed into Hope Base, but the three of them were not normal people.

They used some unconventional methods to get in.

Lin Murong watched dumbfounded as Chi Yan skillfully bribed with food, and then they got in.

Lin Murong: “!!!”

He thought it would be something extraordinary.

That’s it? Just this?

He was stupefied.

Hope Base was once an official base.

So, it was quite large.

Inside Hope Base, the periphery was filled with common people. Many common people squeezed together, living in shacks built a long time ago.

A tiny shack housed five or six people.

These five or six people did everything in this little shack, their living conditions worse than Chen Yuan’s initial ones.

They all shared the same smell.

It’s hard to pinpoint—sweat, sourness, foulness… a mix of unpleasant smells that resulted in a strange odor that could make one dizzy and nauseous if inhaled for too long.

These commoners lived on the outskirts, and if zombies wandered in by accident, those closest to the perimeter would be the first to die.

Then came some Superpower Users.

The closer to the center, the higher the level of the Superpower Users.

And at the center were the leaders of Hope Base and the places where important resources were kept.

Hope Base was somewhat like Sun Base.

Both had been official bases with several leaders.

But the management at Sun Base was better than at Hope Base.

Sun Base had several high-level leaders who would also backstab each other, trying to secure more benefits for themselves, but in critical moments, they were united.

They truly cared about the common people below and the Superpower Users.

To protect the commoners, they would organize Superpower Users to clear zombies, mutated plants, and mutant animals.

In Hope Base, common people were merely a human barrier to protect the base.

In their eyes, commoners seemed barely human.

The management at Hope Base was much messier than at Sun Base, evident from the zombies outside the base and the uncleaned mutated plants.

And…

After getting some food, they found a “guide” who even led them to rent a house near the center.

Renting a house was easy, just a bag of food.

And as they walked there, nobody stopped them.

The Superpower Users they encountered on the streets didn’t even seem like Superpower Users.

They couldn’t even walk straight, staggering around.

His steps were unsteady, clearly unstable.

There were several superpower users, each hugging a woman.

The women in their arms were not beautiful, they were sallow and skinny, wearing dirty clothes.

Yet, they seemed to be enjoying it, reaching their hands inside right there on the street.

People around them treated this as normal, and some male superpower users without women even cheered them on.

Lin Murong almost thought he had returned to Eden Garden.

This…

This was practically a duplication of Eden Garden, just above ground.

They settled down.

“Well, now we need to rent a house everywhere we go,” he said. Although he called it a house, it actually had nothing inside but two wooden planks.

“Pity, we don’t have Chen Yuan,” Lin Murong really hoped to meet someone like Chen Yuan who would proactively rent them a house.

And they’d still end up with a small villa.

The place they were renting now was just a small shabby house with three rooms.

One room per person, just perfect.

But really, aside from the wooden planks, there was nothing inside.

Although the previous small villa, rounding up, also had nothing.

But at least it was big, with its own entrance.

Not like their current place, in a building with dozens of floors.

Whenever they step out the door, they have neighbors.

Their neighbor is also a superpower user, and he seems to have a bad temper.

He snores while sleeping.

Don’t ask how they know he snores, it’s because the house is not soundproof.

The walls aren’t great either.

Always feels like they might collapse.

The key thing is, they needed to provide a lot of food.

“I always feel like we’re being ripped off,” Lin Murong thought more and more something was off, asking for so much food, yet providing such a rundown house.

He clearly stated that food wasn’t an issue.

He asked the “guide” to find a nicer, less expensive place.

They didn’t lack food; they just wanted to live somewhere nice.

Who knew this “guide” would take the food but not do a good job.

Now, they were very close to the city center.

And the strange smell in the air was also fainter.

Chi Yan still wore a mask, while Su Yinhe, whose nose wasn’t as sensitive, couldn’t smell it anymore.

As for Lin Murong…

He was used to it, quite used to it by now.

Really, you get used to it after smelling it long enough.

It’s just, the rented house was really dirty and messy.

But they couldn’t find a better place at the moment, so they settled there.

To make it livable, of course, they had to clean it up.

Chi Yan and Lin Murong were in charge of cleaning.

Su Yinhe was responsible for passing the cloths.

They also changed the door locks.

That made it look a bit more presentable.

“It’s barely passable,” Su Yinhe said, looking at the renovated house and nodding.

“I think it’s pretty good,” Lin Murong, looking at the finished house and comparing it to before, felt a huge sense of satisfaction.

Hehehe…
“Speaking of which, moving in right after renovation, could there be formaldehyde…” Su Yinhe suddenly recalled a serious concern.

“What’s there to worry about? We’re all superpower users, a little formaldehyde…” doesn’t even matter.

The two of you might not worry, but she isn’t one, right? She’s just got a cheat. But then, being fully loaded with cheats, she probably wouldn’t fear formaldehyde either.
