Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies-Chapter 99 - : Cooling down

Chapter 99: Cooling down

They devoured the melon seeds with visible delight.

Some even cheered on the fighters.

Their cheering was strategic; they supported whoever was losing at the moment, hoping for an even bigger commotion.

Lin Murong fought like two people, attacking while spewing a barrage of words like rapid-fire.

Su Yinhe watched him until he felt thirsty on Murong’s behalf.

Despite all the trash talk, Murong’s actions weren’t slow in the least.

...

In the end, it was a draw with both sides hurting.

Lin Murong had a slight upper hand.

He chased the others away with a striking pose, looking cool for all of three seconds before he was holding his head and cursing.

“Lin Muxue actually pulled my hair, wuuu… My poor hair, already so sparse, what if I go bald…”

Su Yinhe: “…”

Even Su Yinhe had to admire his resilience.

Lin Murong had many wounds on his face and body, especially his face, which Muxue had clawed, leaving seven or eight red marks.

Thick and close together, they looked quite frightening.

Su Yinhe took out a small medicine kit for him, thought about it, and handed him a mirror too.

“Here, apply this.”

“Wuuu… Galaxy, you’re so good to me, have you really not considered getting a… Ow! Chi Yan, you hit me again!”

Chi Yan ignored him and pushed a plate next to Su Yinhe.

The plate was filled to the brim with melon seeds he’d just peeled.

The message from Chi Yan was clear, but Su Yinhe still asked,

“For me?”

“Mhm.”

Chi Yan had spent so long peeling those seeds, and he hadn’t eaten a single one himself. They all went to Lin Murong and Su Yinhe.

Lin Murong took his forcibly, but Su Yinhe’s were given willingly.

“Thank you.”

Though she had decided to temporarily steer clear of him, who could refuse a beautiful man peeling melon seeds for them?

Actually, she preferred grapes.

Watching him peel the seeds, she could tell his hands were nimble; he must be adept at peeling grapes too.

Cough cough.

And it was true, seeds peeled by someone else just tasted better.

She let her mind wander too far.

Sure enough, they had duck blood spicy soup for dinner again.

The temperature drop post-apocalypse came without any warning.

It was sweltering the night before, but when she woke up after a day’s sleep and opened the door, she discovered the temperature had plummeted.

And how she knew about the drop in temperature without going outside…

That’s because someone had frozen to death outside the supermarket.

When she opened the door, a group of people sat there, shivering like ice sculptures.

As soon as the supermarket opened, they rushed in.

“Fuck. Finally came back to life.” A man entered the supermarket and, feeling the comfortable temperature inside, was moved to tears.

Had the supermarket not opened when it did, he would have ended up frozen to death like the person next to him.

Thank goodness.

Thank goodness, he made it in time.

They didn’t live in the supermarket; they lived in caves, and the moment the temperature dropped, they knew it.

At first, when it stopped being so hot, everyone was glad, thinking their miserable days were finally over.

But before they could finish rejoicing, they realized the temperature was falling outrageously fast.

No sooner had they stopped feeling the heat, they began to notice the cold.

As soon as the base noticed the temperature drop, they urgently sounded the alarm, waking those who were asleep.

Had they not woken them, those who slept deeply would have died in their sleep.

And then they realized, they didn’t have any warm clothes to wear.

Because it was so hot recently, everyone wished they could sleep naked; some undiscerning men actually did just that.

It was comfortable when it was hot, but with the sudden drop in temperature, they suffered.

There were also people who had sold their clothes for something to eat because of the previous heat. Now with the sudden cold, they didn’t have a single piece of warm clothing.

Then every cave’s leader started fires and distributed firewood for everyone.

But no matter how you split it, there wasn’t enough firewood for all the people in a cave.

Superpower Users endured the cold better than ordinary people, but they were not immune to freezing to death.

He had found a piece of clothing and thought that the supermarket had everything, and that the temperature there was also suitable, so he took his Crystal Core and ran over.

Thinking of buying a thick piece of clothing, or at the very least, warming up by the supermarket’s heater.

Staying in the cave all the time would kill him with cold.

At this time, he began to envy the Fire Element Superpower Users.

How nice that must be.

Not feeling cold.

However, upon arriving and seeing the supermarket’s tightly shut doors, his heart sank.

He had forgotten; the supermarket hadn’t opened yet, as it was still before the operating hours.

But he had already made the trip, so he couldn’t just run back to his cave.

So he squatted and waited by the supermarket entrance.

As he waited, many others with the same idea as his started to arrive, thinking that if they huddled together, they could get a bit warmer.

But the temperature dropped so much that the idea of staying warm together was futile; they were all numb with cold.

Right next to him, a guy literally froze to death.

It was a close call; if the guy had died later, he could have waited until the supermarket opened.

Those who came in either sat directly on the ground or lay there.

It took a while before they felt alive again.

“What happened?”

“Boss, I thought I was going to freeze to death outside and never get to eat the supermarket’s instant noodles again,” a man cried with snot and tears running down his face.

If he weren’t crying on Su Yinhe’s legs, she would have felt more sympathy for him.

“It’s okay now, see you can still have a bowl of instant noodles,” Su Yinhe consoled.

But after hearing her words, the man cried even louder.

“Is that all I deserve, just one bowl?”

Su Yinhe: “That’s not what I meant. Don’t misunderstand.”

Time to slip away.

Su Yinhe wanted to escape.

“Boss, don’t go. First, tell us where the thick clothes in the supermarket are,” someone else grabbed onto Su Yinhe’s leg.

Thankfully.

It was a girl.

If it had been a guy, she would definitely have kicked him ten meters away.

But even a girl shouldn’t pull that hard.

Didn’t they know she was a delicate and powerless shop owner?

Su Yinhe shook her leg, but couldn’t shake the girl off.

The girl clung even tighter.

Help!

In the nick of time, Chi Yan stepped in.

He was there without her knowing when, and upon seeing the scene, took out a surgical knife and ominously looked at the girl clinging to Su Yinhe’s leg.

He didn’t say a word, just stood there.

When the girl saw him, she trembled, then immediately let go.

Her speed was such that if she was one second slower, she would be meeting the King of Hell.

Finally freed, Su Yinhe walked over to Chi Yan, her face filled with gratitude. So Chi Yan was useful after all. Besides peeling sunflower seeds, he could wield a knife.

And he looked very cool holding it.

Very cool indeed.

Chi Yan took out a handkerchief and began wiping his knife.

Hmm…

Still cool.

“Boss! Don’t leave. Save us, will you just watch us playing freeze tag at your door?” Their wails grew louder.

Freeze tag.

What a mess.

Were they playing freeze tag or becoming ice pops?

The thought of a pile of corpses stacking up outside the supermarket gave Su Yinhe the chills.

“There are clothes available, I’ll take you to get them. First, go and exchange your money.”

But the styles aren’t that great.

The clothes sold in the supermarket couldn’t be compared to those from specialized clothing stores.

When she was stocking up, she did pick and choose at first, but she got tired of it and the later selections were quite haphazard.

However, it’s the apocalypse now, and aside from Chi Yan, no one would criticize whether the clothes for keeping warm were ugly or not.
