My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

Ren Hao was racing against time.

Mistaking the accelerator for the brake, I slammed on it! I sped towards the Dawn Base on the island in the middle of the lake.

He didn't have much time left, but luckily he found a shortcut around the lake on his first two trips!

He was extremely nervous, and after arriving at the base, he began to run wildly to several points he had previously suspected.

But all efforts yielded no results…

"How is this possible? Where is it...?" Ren Hao's fingertips trembled with anxiety.

"Captain Ren? Why are you back? Have you taken the supermarket yet?" someone asked curiously as they passed by.

Ren Hao's gaze darkened. He quickly composed himself and said in a low voice, "No, the base commander is in danger and needs to be rescued. Gather your men immediately!"

There were still quite a few people inside the base, and he had to get them out of there first.

Seeing that the man did not doubt his words, Ren Hao felt a little calmer.

The gathering will take some time, so he needs to hurry. If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know if Xia Wan will be able to hold on until he finds her!

Ren Hao went to Cui Jiujiu's room, hoping to find some clues.

He didn't understand why Cui Jiujiu treated Xia Wan like that; they were clearly good friends...

Ren Hao searched around but still found nothing. He covered his eyes, swearing angrily.

He looked up and saw a full-length mirror on the wall.

Ren Hao stared at himself in the mirror and suddenly thought of a detail!

Cui Jiujiu seems to particularly enjoy standing in front of this full-length mirror and talking to herself…

"Could there be something wrong with this mirror..." Ren Hao approached the full-length mirror and began tapping and banging on it, searching for something.

A few minutes later, he indeed discovered that one side of the mirror's gap was different!

He touched the mirror surface thoroughly and finally found an uneven, raised button in an inconspicuous spot at the very bottom.

"Click."

The entire body opens like a mirrored door.

Ren Hao was both surprised and shocked.

It was pitch black inside. He trembled as he turned on the flashlight and shone it around.

It was a very small space inside, and the smell was tolerable. There was only one iron cage.

A emaciated person was locked in an iron cage.

"Wanwan?" Ren Hao called out tentatively.

The person in the iron cage clearly moved. In the darkness, her dim eyes looked toward the source of the sound, as if she thought she was hallucinating.

"Xia Wan! It's you, isn't it..."

Ren Hao was on the verge of collapse. He walked step by step to the iron cage, knelt on the ground, and tried to see what the person looked like.

Xia Wan had been imprisoned for three years and had long since become numb, so her emotions did not fluctuate much.

From the filthy environment of the dungeon at the beginning to being moved to this secret room, she doesn't know how she survived each difficult day.

She couldn't understand why Cui Jiujiu was treating her this way.

Cui Jiujiu talks about things happening outside every day.

What kind of apocalyptic solution is this? Zombies are attacking, plants and animals are mutating, and countless humans have died, their bones piled up like mountains.

She wants to be the empress of the apocalypse and never be bullied by anyone again…

Xia Wan didn't have the energy to think about her nonsense.

It wasn't until she had a strange dream that she finally understood what Cui Jiujiu meant.

In the post-apocalyptic dream, the two spent ten years together, but Cui Jiujiu was always secretly jealous of her mysterious space and even revealed this to the senior management of their base.

After that, her life was controlled and threatened by that manager, and she was forced to desperately upgrade and utilize the space for planting every day, which became unbearable.

Finally, the man learned that the space could be inherited, so he wanted to kill her to obtain it.

This is utterly absurd! Her ancestral jade bracelet shattered into dust after she used it to open a spatial dimension with her blood. How could she possibly inherit it again?

This is clearly an attempt to kill her.

Xia Wan felt that even if she died, she couldn't let Cui Jiujiu have an easy time, so she sold her to a group of cannibalistic villains.

After waking up, Xia Wan didn't mention it at all, and couldn't even distinguish between reality and dreams.

She was certain that Cui Jiujiu must have had such a dream before the apocalypse, otherwise there would be no reason for her to imprison herself.

What an absurd and bizarre reality!

Xia Wan waited through so many days and nights, believing in karma and reincarnation, and that Cui Jiujiu would definitely not have a good ending!

Just now, upon hearing the name "Wanwan," Xia Wan burst into tears, as if waking from a dream.

"..." Xia Wan wanted to respond, but forgot that her throat had been burned by Cui Jiujiu, and her voice was low and hoarse, making it difficult to make a sound, just like a male duck.

Ren Hao was now absolutely certain that the person in the cage was Xia Wan, whom he had secretly loved for many years. His eyes were filled with hatred. "I will definitely kill her! Wanwan, don't be afraid, it's me, Ren Hao, don't be afraid..."

Ren Hao used his supernatural ability to cleave the iron cage open with his bare hands and held Xia Wan in his arms as if she were a precious treasure.

Xia Wan was so thin that she felt almost weightless when held in one's arms.

As soon as she stepped out of the secret room, the blinding light shone on Xia Wan, and she instinctively flinched away, like a pitiful little animal.

Ren Hao looked at her body covered in new wounds covering old ones, and felt so heartbroken he could hardly breathe.

He pulled the silk sheet from the bed to cover Xia Wan, his brows furrowed as he rushed out.

Escape, not a second can be wasted.

Ren Hao avoided all the main roads. Many of the remaining members had already gathered in the park and were ready to set off at any time.

"Captain Ren! Why are you so late? Almost everyone's here. Where's our destination? Let's hurry, my beasts are getting impatient!"

They ran into Yang Dongyan, a strange man with an excited face and exaggerated expressions.

He is an expert who specializes in studying mutated beasts. He is insidious and selfish, and spends all his time revolving around mutated beasts, dreaming of becoming the controller of all mutated beasts.

He did indeed develop a batch of mutated bats that obeyed his commands, which were extremely bloody and terrifying.

Before Ren Hao could speak, Yang Dongyan curled his lips and looked with interest at the object covered by the bed sheet in his arms.

"What the hell is this?"

Ren Hao could clearly feel Xia Wan's body stiffen. He bit his tongue, and a sweet, metallic taste rushed into his nostrils, but it also calmed him down.

He said with a half-smile, "A secret weapon, the base commander ordered it to be brought along."

Meanwhile, the red-eyed mutated bat hanging on Yang Dongyan's shoulder seemed to have also smelled the unique scent of blood and began to bar its teeth and become agitated.

Yang Dongyan slapped it on the head, "What's the rush? We'll have food soon! You little beast..." Then he laughed and said to Ren Hao, "Alright, you hurry up, I'll go first. These beasts can't wait to start their slaughter! I'm anxious too, it's time to see the results of the past two years!"

After saying that, he rushed to the meeting point.

Even after Ren Hao and Xia Wan got into the car he had prepared, he remained tense and dared not relax.

"Wanwan, don't be afraid, you're saved now. I'll take good care of you from now on..." Ren Hao looked at Xia Wan, who was curled up in the back seat, his voice hoarse.

His Wanwan, who had been a wealthy heiress for twenty-five years, was betrayed and cruelly imprisoned for more than three years by her best friend without any resistance.

Now, seeing the outside world again, with his parents gone and the world feeling unfamiliar... how could he not feel heartbroken?

"Thank you...." Xia Wan didn't like her voice, but she still thanked them politely.

Xia Wan hadn't expected that her neighbor, Ren Hao, would still be thinking of saving her.

She had considered suicide, but Cui Jiujiu threatened her with her parents' lives. She was kept locked in a dark house and had no idea what was happening outside. She only stayed alive for her parents' sake.

Ren Hao smiled wryly. This girl was extremely insensitive to feelings and seemed to have never doubted that he had other thoughts about her.

But now is not the time for romance; we need to find a safe place first.

“The world has changed now… It’s dangerous outside. I’ll tell you about it later. But there’s a magical lucky supermarket. Let’s go there…” Ren Hao said casually as he drove.

The supermarket's abundant supplies are important, but Ren Hao values ​​even more the restroom's healing hot springs and the three-hour safe period inside the supermarket!

The most dangerous place is the safest place, isn't it?
