Rebirth: I Will Win Easily in the Apocalypse-Chapter 20 - 11 Supermarket_2

"Uh, Brother Song..."

"Come over here, I've found a supermarket"

Gao Zhi scratched his head awkwardly, wanting to ask Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin for help in kicking down the door. He proposed that they could then split the supplies they found evenly. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang emerged from the water a fair distance away, shouting towards them.

Hearing Uncle Zhang's shouts, everyone swam over to him, including Gu Yanzhi and Zhuang Nanyang, who rowed toward Uncle Zhang in the rubber dinghy.

Zhang Qian, seeing the commotion on this side, grew anxious, "Hey, wait for me!"

Uncle Zhang was a bit far from the entrance of the village, around the middle of it. Watching everyone getting farther away from her, Zhang Qian felt a little scared.

"I'll go back and fetch Sister Zhang Qian," Zhuang Nanyang was about to swim back when Gu Yanzhi changed the direction of the dinghy, "Let's go together."

Gu Yanlin also climbed onto the dinghy: "I'll come along, brother-in-law you go ahead with them."

Since the supplies were found by Gu Yanzhi's family, and to save fuel for convenience, Zhuang Nanyang had come over in Gu Yanzhi's rubber dinghy. With Zhang Qian alone watching over three rubber dinghies, she couldn't bring them over by herself.

"Alright, we'll go ahead," Song Zhao nodded and continued swimming towards Uncle Zhang.

But it turned out that using the rubber dinghy was faster; after picking up Zhang Qian, it didn't take them more than 5 minutes to reach Uncle Zhang, picking up a few others who were swimming along the way.

When they reached Uncle Zhang, Uncle and Aunt Zhang climbed onto the dinghy to catch their breath and then said, "There's a supermarket below, and it seems like there's still a lot of stuff inside. It's just locked up too tight; we can't get in."

"I'll go down and check," Uncle Zhuang, an impulsive man, dived into the water to take a look after hearing Uncle Zhang.

"Indeed, we need to figure out how to get in. If we can access the supermarket's goods, we won't have to worry for a long time," Aunt Zhuang and Zhuang Nanyang were growing impatient and about to go down themselves when Uncle Zhuang finally surfaced, holding onto the side of the dinghy, and said.

"Okay, brother-in-law, let's both try and see if we can kick it open,"

"Let's go together, many hands make light work,"

Hearing Uncle Zhuang's words, Gu Yanlin turned to Song Zhao and immediately after, Uncle Zhang, who had mostly rested by then, also insisted on going down.

Zhuang Nanyang and Gao Zhi didn't speak, but their actions showed they were ready to contribute by jumping into the water.

This time they left the women on the rubber dinghy, and the men went down. In times like these, men typically had better physical strength and could exert more force when kicking or breaking doors.

Besides, apart from Gu Yanzhi and Zhang Qian, the other three women had already soaked in the water for a long time. Soaking in cold water and being drenched in rain was very harmful to women's bodies. The men, all of whom were compassionate, decided that they shouldn't let the women get into the water anymore.

As soon as they dived, Song Zhao saw the supermarket. It was about 200 square meters, two stories high—no small size. If the food inside was still edible, it would indeed last a long time.

Their dinghy had stopped right at the supermarket's entrance. Surprisingly, the supermarket's sign wasn't washed away by the flood and still tenaciously clung to the wall. That was how Uncle Zhang knew there was a supermarket here.

The main entrance was locked with an aluminum alloy roll-up door. They definitely couldn't get in there. All the windows on the front side were also secured by anti-theft bars.

Uncle Zhuang gestured for everyone to follow him.

Walking along the wall of the supermarket for about half a circle, they got to the back of the building. Right across from the first floor's entrance was a window. However, the sticker on the window and the color of the wall were very similar, almost unnoticeable in the murky water unless one looked very carefully. Uncle Zhuang's lengthy underwater delay was due to this.

Seeing this window, Uncle Zhang gave Uncle Zhuang a thumbs up. Although Uncle Zhuang seemed hasty and impatient, he was still very meticulous when it came to critical tasks.

He was the first to spot the supermarket and had swum around it several times without noticing this window.

Now that they had found a window, the next consideration was how to get inside, and kicking it in was the first thing that came to mind. Everyone went up to take a breath and gather their strength before diving again.

However, the window was incredibly sturdy, and the water pressure on the first floor was greater, dispersing more of the impact from their kicks. After much effort, they still hadn't achieved any results.

"How about, we take a rubber dinghy and smash it?" Seeing that the men had to repeatedly surface for air multiple times, Gu Yanzhi knew they weren't making much progress. An idea struck her as she was looking at the dinghy, and she suggested it.

"I think that might work,"

"I agree too," Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhuang echoed.

There weren't many alternatives, and no large stones were to be found nearby. The rubber dinghy, although heavy and large, had a somewhat pointed end and might indeed be able to break a small hole.

"We'll use mine, we have another one at home,"

Gu Yanzhi readily offered her family's dinghy. With everyone's help, they moved the gas cylinders and other items onto Sister Zhang Qian's boat.

Since Gu Yanzhi had an extra dinghy, she wasn't as worried about one more dinghy, and she knew that others only had this one dinghy, which they would regret damaging, even if it was just to smash a window. And a dinghy wouldn't necessarily break just because of that.

"Thanks, you can take an extra ten percent of the stuff later,"

"Okay,"

Before diving, they all agreed that the supermarket was a joint effort to be opened by everyone. The usable items inside would be shared equally among the four households. Since Uncle Zhang was the one to first find it, the Zhang family would have the right to choose first, picking whatever their household needed.

Now that Gu Yanzhi's family had contributed the dinghy, the others were reluctant to part with this means of transport, not knowing how long the torrential rain would last. Hence, it was only proper for the Gu family to have a slightly larger share. Gu Yanzhi wasn't pretentious and agreed right away. She was willing to offer her dinghy out of kindness, but she also didn't want others to take their contribution for granted, and the compensation due should be received.
