My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

It's another day with light snowflakes falling.

Yamana stood in the dressing room, struggling with what to wear today.

In the end, I closed my eyes and picked out a set of light pink and cream-colored short down jackets paired with double-layered plaid lace cotton skirts.

Put on a pair of over-the-knee socks, sneakers, a scarf, and gloves.

Alright, today's theme is Energetic Girl Cat.

[Host... I rarely see you wearing pants.]

The system saw Shan Nai walking out of the dressing room and immediately went over to admire her.

Yamana touched her ears, spun around in place, and said with a cute smile, "Because... I like little skirts, so I'll spin around~"

You don't need a reason to like something.

Liking someone is the best reason, at least that's what Yamana has always believed.

The snowflakes outside the window are very fine, somewhat like salt grains.

It started snowing last night, and now the roads are already freezing over. The survivors who came out to buy supplies looked like penguins...

Many people even did the splits while walking... their faces were filled with pain. What's most frustrating is that you can't get up after slipping on the icy road!

Shannai watched as a female customer struggled on the ground five meters away from the supermarket entrance. Unable to bear it any longer, she pushed open the door and went to help her up.

The female customer's face was red from the cold, and she kept sniffling. When she stood up and saw Shan Nai, she was both excited and grateful, and kept thanking her.

"The cat owner is so diligent; the area in front of our supermarket is so clean!" the female customer praised sincerely.

Shanna smiled but didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, letting her into the supermarket.

Actually, this is all thanks to the system and the Doraemon shop assistants.

Within five meters of a supermarket, the effects of all severe weather conditions can be ignored.

But Yamana loves snow, so the system turned off a small part of the settings so that snow could fall on the roof and windowsill, allowing her to see snowflakes up close while sitting by the window.

Since customers frequently visit the supermarket, the system brings along the Doraemon staff to shovel snow and remove ice.

The system flew by Shan Nai's ear with a smile, feeling very happy to hear someone mention this.

Shannai, carrying a fluffy panda-shaped bag, planned to collect some crystal cores.

Besides dealing with the zombies in her own city, she also travels to other new cities, where she can both check out new teleportation maps and advertise, and also find new camp bases based on information provided by some enthusiastic customers.

S City is a large city located within a thousand miles of the supermarket.

Because the city had fallen so quickly, the supply chains at all levels of the workforce collapsed, and toxic substances were leaked from the industrial plants, necessitating aerial bombardment to eliminate the zombies.

However, as social order gradually collapsed and resources became increasingly scarce, many survivors would risk coming to S City to search for supplies.

The city, once bombed, is now a desolate ruin, scorched earth, and utter devastation. It is now buried under a blanket of white snow, silent and still.

Shan Nai teleported around the map, hoping to encounter some high-level zombie beasts.

Finally, she spotted a Tier 5 zombie leopard near a dilapidated house!

"It's so fast..." Shan Nai chased after it the whole way. This guy wasn't very strong in combat, but it was really fast.

Yamana was too exhausted to keep up. She bent over and leaned against a half-wall, panting heavily, and decided to give up.

The zombie leopard's skin looked charred, its wounds were deep enough to expose bone, its internal organs were missing, and its bloodshot eyes darted around wildly in the snow.

As soon as Shannai turned around, it suddenly charged at her again, acting completely crazy.

Since it's delivered right to her doorstep, Yamana naturally won't let it go. With the cat ring, casting spells is incredibly convenient and flexible.

Even if the zombie leopard is fast, it can't withstand Shan Nai's ability to predict its movements. He can raise his hand in advance and fire a row of freezing bullets in its path before it arrives, and then wait for it to crash into the bullets, freeze, and explode.

The freezing effect is perfect for killing zombies and collecting crystal cores; it's a clean kill, and if crystal cores drop, there won't be any blood.

The purple fifth-order crystal core fell silently onto the snow a few meters away.

Just as Shan Nai was about to pick it up, a dark shadow appeared in front of her and quickly disappeared.

Then her purple crystal core disappeared.

"?? My crystal core!" Shan Nai opened her mouth, looking like she was about to explode.

She scratched her head, looked around, but didn't see anyone else...

[Host, you should be a Shadow-type ability user! That's fast indeed; I haven't even had time to scan you yet.]

"Damn it, he got away again!"

A pretty young girl with long hair down to her waist, wearing a red coat, ran up behind me.

Gu Lianyi put away the large cleaver in her hand and walked towards Shan Nai.

"Your crystal core is gone too?"

Yamana looked at the girl in front of her and nodded. "Also?"

“Yeah, that’s right. Just like you, I got the crystal core and it was stolen. It was Shadow Ghost… That guy is a famous shadow assassin in this area, a late-stage fourth-tier ability user…” Gu Lianyi gritted her teeth in anger.

Shan Nai narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this, and licked his little tiger teeth. "Heh, daring to rob my crystal core in broad daylight, he must have a death wish! Do you know where he's hiding?"

“I know, he’s the captain of the Shadow Camp, with nearly a hundred men under his command. He’s not easy to deal with.” Gu Lianyi’s tone was also very resentful.

“There are too many people…” Shan Nai stroked his chin, looked up and thought for a moment, “That won’t do! I won’t give away a single crystal core that I’ve obtained!” Especially since it’s a fifth-tier crystal core.

Hearing Shan Nai's bold words, Gu Lianyi couldn't help but take a closer look at her.

She's clearly a cute girl; it's hard to imagine how strong she is.

But her outfit alone is enough to prove that she is definitely not an ordinary person.

And the catgirl's outfit is just too outrageous...

Who could resist such an adorable kitten girl? She even has green eyes and long, light orange hair.

She wanted to gently touch the soft cat ears and tail in her heart. Even though she knew they were just decorations, they felt so real and she loved them!

After learning that Shan Nai was fighting a fifth-tier zombie beast, Gu Lianyi was very willing to lead the way for Shan Nai and go together to retrieve her own crystal core.

If she were a low-level ability user, she would definitely advise her to just bear with it.

But someone who can easily defeat a fifth-tier alien beast—she can only admire their strength.

Traveling together, the two exchanged names and basic information.

Gu Lianyi was particularly shocked when she learned that Shan Nai owned a supermarket, and found her even more mysterious and charming.

Gu Lianyi is 21 years old this year. After the apocalypse, her parents died tragically while trying to save her. At that moment, she vowed that she must survive in the apocalypse and live up to her parents' sacrifice.

Later, she awakened her wind-based superpowers, which allowed her to protect herself in dangerous situations.

After half an hour.

Gu Lianyi pointed to an abandoned factory and said, "This is it. Are you sure you want to go in?"

"Don't worry, if you're scared, just wait for me at the door. Thanks for showing me the way~" Yamana nodded, stamped the snow off her shoes, and looked determined.

Gu Lianyi waved her hand, "No, I'm a rational person. If we're not sure about something, we can think of other ways. I also know a group of friends..."

"No need, I can manage."

Shanna put her hands behind her back, smiled sweetly at her, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

After saying that, she strode into the factory. Gu Lianyi gripped the large machete hanging at her waist and hurriedly followed.
