My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

After packing all the supplies, Jinian didn't choose to try any of the supermarket's food; instead, she left immediately.

However, the observant Yamana noticed that she had secretly glanced at the dining area several times out of the corner of her eye.

The fresh food emitted an enticing aroma, and it wasn't that I didn't want to eat it.

She is not a saint; although she is aloof, she still has emotions and desires.

But the thought that the points from a delicious meal could buy three days' worth of food for another person made me spend all the points on my card without hesitation.

She hadn't tasted good food in so long that she had completely forgotten what it tasted like.

But sometimes a cookie or a bite of bread can last a whole day.

Moreover, she couldn't bring herself to eat alone.

Nine p.m.

"Ah~~ I'm finally off work, I'm so tired."

Shan Nai closed the supermarket door, yawned, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

[Host, go wash up and go to bed. You've had a really tough day.]

Shanna pouted and glanced around the small supermarket. Every shelf was empty, and the supermarket hadn't been cleaned.

"We haven't restocked yet. What if customers come early tomorrow morning and we're scrambling to keep up?"

[Hehe, don't worry, host, the system will complete the upgrade to Level 3 supermarket tomorrow. There will be a surprise for you! Go and get some rest.]

The system's soft, childlike voice was full of doting affection and pride.

Shannai still trusted her family's system. She remembered that the Level 3 supermarket would unlock the "automatic stocking robot"!

"Haha, will I get robot employees to help me tomorrow?" With that thought, Yamaha skipped back to her room.

【Hmm, you got it right.】

With the system's confirmation, Shan Nai was completely relieved and happily rushed into the bathroom, intending to take a relaxing bath before going to sleep.

The nights in the apocalypse were exceptionally dark.

The dilapidated and abandoned city is shrouded in strange plants, which erode it, creating a desolate and eerie atmosphere.

Apart from the bloodshot-eyed, snarling zombies, there was nothing else on the street.

The layout of Lucky Supermarket is quietly changing.

*

Yamana slept very well, waking up almost as soon as the alarm clock rang.

Good morning, host!

The system detected that the host had woken up and proactively greeted him.

Good morning!

Shan Nai had just opened her eyes, rubbed them, glanced at the ceiling, and suddenly sat up, asking in a soft, squeaky voice, "Is the system upgrade complete?"

She looked around again, and before the system could reply, she excitedly exclaimed, "My room has been upgraded too! That's awesome!"

The size has been upgraded to 40 square meters, and the wallpaper is still green, but the material seems to be more high-end.

It feels like living in a forest, so fresh and natural.

The bed beneath her was also much larger, and the bedding was incredibly soft.

The dressing table, small bookshelf, floor-to-ceiling windows, coffee table, small sofa, and rocking chair have all been completely renovated.

Yamana jumped out of bed, her feet resting on a soft, fluffy, silver-gray floor mat that felt incredibly comfortable.

In addition to the private bathroom, there was also a walk-in closet. Yamana opened the closet, her surprise and delight evident. "Wow, System, System, did you prepare all of this? It's so beautiful, I love it!"

There are clothes for all four seasons, all kinds and types are neatly arranged, and the styles and colors are all to Yamana's liking.

There are also various accessories, shoes, jewelry, bags, etc., to match the clothes...

[You could say that. The system upgrades based on the host's usual preferences, so as long as the host likes it.]

That's so thoughtful, this system is great.

"Thank you so much, you're such a reliable friend," Yamana said sincerely with a smile.

Shannai casually changed into a light pink dress and couldn't wait to see the changes at the supermarket.

Although it was upgraded once along the way from the level 1 dilapidated hut.

But at that moment, when Shanna ran excitedly into the supermarket lobby, she was still startled.

The supermarket has been upgraded to Level 3, expanding its area to 600 square meters, and the customer checkout method has been upgraded to facial recognition.

The number of shelves and display cases has increased significantly, and new product categories have been unlocked: household goods, specialty small appliances...

New products discovered: pork floss bread, toast, old-fashioned sponge cake, jujube cake, chestnut cake, red/mung bean cake, braised chicken legs, beef jerky, various canned goods, various snacks, self-heating hot pot/hot and sour noodles/mala tang/snail rice noodles, energy drinks, fresh fruits and vegetables, ice cream...

The prepared food section can display four types of food at the same time and is equipped with a dedicated checkout machine.

The system explained the upgrade changes in detail, but Shan Nai's attention was focused on the new items, so she didn't remember much, only that a lot of good things had been added.

There is a significant difference between 600 square meters and 100 square meters.

The supermarket has a minimalist warehouse style with a green and white color scheme.

Rows of brand-new shelves are neatly arranged, with each category in its specific area, and small display cases of moderate height placed in the aisle in the middle.

The upgraded shelves have been equipped with a fixed security system, and can only be moved freely with Shannai's authorization.

Even if violators are encountered, they can no longer be damaged or toppled, and of course, the punishment for violators will remain the same.

The household goods section has added towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes, clothing, shoes, hats, special raincoats, mosquito repellent products, and more.

The toiletries section finally has soap, shampoo, lotion, sunscreen, and other products.

Given the preciousness of water resources, this shelf also sells specially made dry water packs.

This is the first time I've ever seen this kind of thing. It's shaped like a small water droplet, with transparent packaging. It's only the size of a palm, and it feels quite thick and heavy.

"Is there water in this?" Shan Nai squeezed the dry water packet.

[Yes, host. There are 10 liters of water inside. Pretty convenient, right? Hehe.]

Shan Nai nodded, looking at the product description intently with the curious expression of a child. "It's really convenient. 20 points a pack, great value for money! Not bad at all~ If you use it sparingly, you can wash your hair, take a shower, and then do laundry."

After looking at it, Shanna put the dry water bag back in its original place and continued to explore new objects.

The home appliance section is more attractive now, although there aren't many varieties, only electric kettles, small fans, table lamps, soup pots, frying pans, multi-functional rice cookers, and special induction cookers.

However, small appliances all come with ultra-durable special batteries, so they can be used right after purchase without worrying about the lack of power.

The small fan still blows a cool breeze with an ice-silk feel.

They truly shine on their own!

There are also grain, oil and seasoning categories, with basic rice and flour paired with oil, salt and seasoning sets.

Yamaha was already immersed in the joy of shopping at the supermarket. She would stop and look at every new item, radiating happiness and with a faint smile on her lips.

After browsing around, Shan Nai arrived at the fresh fruit and vegetable section, where, in addition to the apples, bananas, and pears she had seen before, watermelons, cantaloupes, oranges, pineapples, and peaches had been added.

Several new vegetables have been added, including tomatoes, peas, bok choy, cucumbers, potatoes, and celery.

They've even added two new fresh meats: pork and chicken!

The system says that the vegetable selection, like the dining area, will be refreshed daily until the later upgrade is completed, at which point the selection will be more extensive and complete.

The little guy in front of you, busy sorting vegetables, is the supermarket's automated sorting robot.

"System, our robot is so cute!" Shan Nai's eyes were filled with stars as she excitedly rushed over to find out more.

【Automatic stocking robot, BB-09, reporting for duty!】

It has a round, two-sectioned body with a semi-circular head and two cat ears. There's a display screen on the front of its head, and it's currently greeting Yamana with a cute little smiley face.

Shannai circled around it a few times, reached out and touched its round head. When she touched it, the expression on the screen in front of her would change.

For example, right now, she has a blushing, shy expression.

This really touched Yama-nai's heart, and she continued to play with it for a while, engaging in various interactions.

"Great, this counts as petting a cat, right?! Hahaha."

The system watched this scene silently, feeling a little resentful.

It's a little jealous!
