My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

Ding Yi didn't dare to breathe, clutching his hair tightly and staring wide-eyed.

But the next second, reality slapped him in the face, and he was slapped hard.

As the mutated leech lunged at Shanna and opened its enormous sucker, it was repelled by a protective shield before it could even get close.

*Smack, smack, smack.*

The mutated giant leech was bounced onto the ground in the middle of the factory and rolled several times.

"I wasn't even scared of the mutated beasts, but you've given me quite a fright." Shan Nai glanced at the system bubble out of the corner of her eye.

[No, host, this is only tier seven!]

Shan Nai raised her eyebrows slightly. "You just said that there are very few seventh-tier ones! And now one has suddenly appeared?"

[...it just so happened that we ran into them...]

"Get to the point, the protective shield ignores the seventh level, but does it include the seventh level?" Shan Nai suddenly thought of this.

[No...it doesn't include that, but it seems to have just broken through to the seventh rank, so the host doesn't need to be afraid.]

"Hmph, don't set a flag for me. I'd better hurry up and get the last mission item and go back to the supermarket!" She has no interest in killing zombies and monsters.

Shan Nai turned her gaze to the sewage pool, and the supernatural stone had drifted away again!

She ignored the two mutated leeches behind her trying their best to attack her, since she had a protective shield, and just stretched her neck to reach for the power stone.

[Host, keep going! Keep going! You're almost there.]

The system bubble wiggled its buttocks in support.

Shan Nai finally managed to retrieve the last mission ability stone with great effort and took a deep breath.

This action left Ye Liangding and the other man lying at the gate questioning their existence.

Ye Liang rubbed his eyes. "That girl is so strong. She just stood there and the other two mutated leeches couldn't do anything to her..."

Ding Yi immediately gave up thinking, "I told you so, the strange things are all variables. The catgirl is really cute, oh no, she's really fierce."

Shan Nai took out a disinfectant wipe, casually wiped the power stone, and put it into the mission warehouse.

Special Quest Item: Find 5 different attribute abilities (5/5)?

[Host is awesome! The system will submit the task immediately. Please wait a moment!]

With this special mission finally completed, Yamana instantly felt relieved.

But the mutated leeches behind her seemed unwilling to let her go, and continued to attack her with all their might.

It used everything – tail whip, spitting mucus, ramming, entanglement, charging – but it still couldn't get close to Yamana.

However, the observant Yamana still sensed something unusual about the light blue protective shield.

"System, do you see a crack here?" Shan Nai frowned slightly and pointed to a thin silver thread on the upper left of her head.

[Ah! It really is! Host, hurry back to the supermarket~~ Waaaaah~]

Speechless, Shan Nai hurriedly turned on her smart bracelet, ready to click the button to return to the supermarket.

But then he glanced at the two people at the gate.

She still ran over despite the attack, saying, "You two should leave quickly, I'm leaving, there's a seventh-tier mutated leech behind me."

Ye Liang's face, which had just regained a little color, instantly turned ashen again, as if she were about to die. "Seventh rank..." she stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Then let's just lie here and die. We can't even beat a sixth-tier opponent, and all our teammates are dead. Forget about a seventh-tier opponent." Ding Yi was speechless. Both of them were seriously injured and unable to escape.

They're all dead? Why didn't Yamana see any other corpses...?

Could it be that they were all eaten by those mutated leeches?! Could it be that eating so many people at once led to the breakthrough?

"Alright, you two take care of yourselves then, I'm leaving first." Ye Liang had kindly warned her about the danger inside, so she was repaying that kindness.

When Ding Yi heard Shan Nai's words, he almost died on the spot. This catgirl boss really didn't have any intention of saving them at all.

It's all over, all over. It's all because of the bad name Ye Liang!

Shan Nai led the two mutated leeches that had been chasing her further into the factory, away from Ye Liang and the other person.

Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven.

"Alright, bye-bye, you stinky fat bug!" Shan Nai turned on her smart bracelet, her eyes crinkling with a smile as she clicked the button to return to the supermarket.

A second later, she was still standing there.

Yamana's smile remained unchanged. Thinking that she hadn't clicked the button correctly before, she pressed it again with more force.

Two seconds later, Yamana blinked, but remained in the same spot.

"System, aren't you going to come out and explain?" Shan Nai's lips twitched involuntarily.

[Oh dear, the system got too excited just now and clicked "submit task" directly, which then started merging with the supermarket's main system. It's currently upgrading... The teleportation function is temporarily unavailable... Ugh~ I'm so sorry~ I'm sorry, host~ Why don't you hide for a bit?]

The system felt guilty and remorseful, and burst into tears.

Because it saw that the cracks on the host's protective shield seemed to be getting thicker!

Shannai was genuinely startled this time. "How long will it take to upgrade?" she asked, and then she started running outside.

I finally got the last quest item, who wants to die?! What a tragedy.

Shannai moved with lightning speed and dashed outside the factory in a flash.

When they passed by Ye Liang and his companion, the two were once again stunned.

Are you just leaving it there for fun?

Strength allows you to be capricious.

[Two minutes left! Two more minutes until the upgrade is complete! Host, I'm so sorry, please don't let anything happen to you! The system finally found a capable host. My performance used to be the worst, but this time there's finally hope for a turnaround. It's all my fault... Waaah...]

The system panicked and started displaying incoherent messages on the screen.

Shannai had no interest in listening to its apology. The roads inside the nuclear power plant were difficult to navigate, and just as she was about to run out of the plant, the light blue protective shield cracked with a 'snap'.

Yama-nai was so frightened that she immediately put on her airplane ears and her speed increased instantly!

'Plop plop!'

Only one mutated leech was chasing Shan Nai from behind, so it must be the one that had just broken through to the seventh rank. The other one probably couldn't run anymore.

"Ahhh, they're catching up! It hasn't even been two minutes yet!" Yamana's hair was flying everywhere as she ran wildly along the coastline.

She had never felt two minutes could be so long.

Along the way, a zombie that looked like a fisherman was also created!

【3, 2, 1!】

'boom!--'

Flames soared into the sky behind Shannai.

Her entire body was once again covered by a protective shield radiating golden light, dazzling and incomparably radiant.

The mutated leech was ignited by the Flame Burst effect the moment it touched the golden protective shield, and turned to ashes after burning for a few seconds.

[Friendly reminder: The host's protective shield has been fully integrated with the supermarket's main system. Congratulations, host, you are now invincible!]

This is the main notification sound from the supermarket's back-end system.

Shan Nai squatted on the ground, panting heavily. "System, don't trick me again next time! Luckily, I'm a spirit cat. Even without cultivation, my physique is special. Otherwise, who could outrun this thing?!"

【Yes, it's the system's fault, the system was careless! I'm really sorry.】

The system didn't dare to come out.

This time, it really got a little carried away.

Hearing the system's tearful tone, Shan Nai couldn't bear to scold it any further. "Alright, am I truly invincible now?"

Yes, it's the same as in the supermarket, with invincible defense and a counterattack system.

"Great!" Yamana nodded excitedly. "Nice! It'll be so much easier to go out from now on."

Only after she finished speaking did she realize that the mutated giant leech that had just died had dropped a sixth-order crystal core!

"Just broke through to the seventh rank, the crystal core hasn't been upgraded yet, haha, but the sixth rank is not bad~ Does the other one also have one...?" Shan Nai happily picked up the orange crystal core and put it into the warehouse.

She then quickly teleported back to the nuclear power plant, easily electrocuting another sixth-tier mutated leech with a wave of her hand. It felt incredibly satisfying.

A family should always be together, right?

The other two died, and this one certainly wouldn't want to live either, Yamana thought.

Unfortunately, this one didn't drop anything...

[Host, because you killed a Tier 7 alien beast, you've completed several random upgrade quests. And the First Base is doing great; you've met the points requirement to upgrade the supermarket. Our supermarket can now be upgraded to Level 5!]

After all, in this stage of the apocalypse, there are very few seventh-tier zombies, beasts, or superhumans, and their evolution requires a lot of time and other requirements.

The seventh-order mutated leeches here are inextricably linked to nuclear power plants…

The system just did a quick check in the background, and new entries are popping up everywhere, while points are increasing rapidly.

Yamana smiled knowingly, "Great! Same as always, confirm the upgrade first, then reserve and unlock all the new products and services!"
