My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

Dusk.

Shannai was patiently introducing the edible flower to Cheng Xu.

"How can there be such a magical mutated flower... Is it easy to grow?" Cheng Xu bent over, raised his eyebrows, and almost pressed his face against the blooming flower, taking a deep sniff. "It smells quite nice!"

"It smells wonderful~ It's very easy to grow. It's in full bloom now, and you only need to water it once a month. It blooms for a year."

Cheng Xu's eyes lit up, and he touched his nose. "How many points?"

He was indeed very tempted.

It is warm in winter and cool in summer, with an adjustable temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

In the apocalypse, there are no four seasons, only cold, heat, and unusual weather.

Air conditioning is something that only the upper levels of large bases have the capability to operate.

Ordinary people can only adapt to their environment. Cheng Xu felt that it didn't matter to him, but his child was still young and had been born for less than two years when the apocalypse struck.

I've never enjoyed anything good.

Now that we've found Lucky Supermarket, we've finally solved the big problem of food and clothing. If we buy this Food Warmth Flower, Xiao Hang will be able to sleep more comfortably at night.

“1000, it may sound a little expensive, but it can last for a year!” Shan Nai blinked hard, her thick, curled eyelashes trembling slightly.

"We want it!"

Just as Cheng Xu was silently calculating in his mind, a loud and rough male voice came from the doorway.

Shanna frowned and looked up.

"This person looks so familiar..." Yamaha wondered to herself.

【Yes, I came by a few days ago. I even wanted to hold BB-09.】

After the system's notification, Shan Nai remembered.

Yes, in the end, he was mercilessly electrocuted.

"I want this cooling flower! I'll give it to Rou Rou."

Zhang Chi casually tossed his head, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and pulled Lin Rou into his arms, speaking in a very generous tone.

Lin Rou, with a smug smile on her face, went with him to the cashier.

"Is this flower really as good as you say?"

Lin Rou didn't look directly at Shan Nai, but instead glanced at Cheng Xu beside her without making a sound.

Faced with Lin Rou's questioning, Shan Nai rubbed her temples and said, "Is it necessary for me to lie to you?"

"Okay, I'll take the flowers, but if they don't work, you'll have to pay me back."

Lin Rou couldn't be happier right now.

Last night, she only mentioned briefly that Zhang Chi should leave Hope Base, but to her surprise, Zhang Chi agreed immediately.

He fled with her and more than twenty others overnight.

As for the base warehouse, Lin Rou's original intention was to take it all.

But Zhang Chi disagreed, insisting that one should leave room for maneuver so that it's easier to meet again in the future, so in the end, I could only go along with him.

But it doesn't matter, she's already taken quite a lot. As far as this supermarket is concerned, Lin Rou can achieve shopping freedom.

"Sorry, this customer was the one who initially expressed interest in buying it. Let me ask if they're interested first..."

"Him? Can he even afford it?" Lin Rou glared at Cheng Xu with disdain.

Cheng Xu ignored Lin Rou and looked at Zhang Chi and his group.

He wasn't worried about any danger at the supermarket.

But there are too many of them. If he takes the flower now, and these twenty-odd people are guarding him outside the door, then he's doomed.

"Captain Cheng, have you finished buying them? I've already..."

Just then, Li Jianan pushed a shopping cart out from the back shelf.

Seeing this scene, his lips twitched.

"It's you again? You brat! Have you been stalking Rou Rou?!"

When Zhang Chi saw Li Jianan, his face immediately turned fierce, looking just like a fighting rooster.

"Ugh, utterly boring."

Speechless. Li Jianan finds these two people the most disgusting.

What a twist of fate! Following Lin Rou? What kind of brain could utter such a thing?

"Hey boss, I'm taking this flower! And I'll get all my brothers a membership. It's just crystal cores, I've got plenty!"

"Boom."

Zhang Chi spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth and stared at Li Jianan sideways.

But his hands weren't idle either. He casually reached into the side pocket of his backpack, took out a heavy bag, and tossed it in front of Yamana.

Shannai's round eyes blinked, she licked her lips, and immediately reached out her paw—no, her little hand—to take the packet of crystal cores, grinning as she said, "Okay, customer, but could you please pick up the cigarette butt on the ground first, okay?"

“…” Zhang Chi looked down at the ground in the direction of Shan Nai’s slender finger.

The spot she was pointing to was the cigarette butt, still emitting a faint red glow.

Although the boss was all smiles and looked incredibly beautiful.

But Zhang Chi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. The terrifying experience of being struck by lightning for three minutes that day surged into his mind again. He immediately put on a grin and said, "I'll pick it up right away! Sorry~"

"Oh, by the way, does this supermarket sell cigarettes?"

Zhang Chi quickly picked up the cigarette butt, glanced at it, took a couple of puffs, and then asked a question.

Seeing his lewd and disgusting behavior, Shan Nai couldn't bear to laugh anymore.

cigarette?

She had actually asked the system this question.

The system's answer was, of course, no.

"Smoking is harmful to your health. We do not sell cigarettes in this store," Yamana said with a fake smile.

Zhang Chi pursed his lips. See? The supermarket isn't a panacea. He could only send his men over to register for memberships first.

“Brother Chi, I suggest we keep some crystal cores for later use…” a member of the Brotherhood said timidly.

Zhang Chi scoffed. With supermarket items so cheap, is there any better way than becoming a member?

Moreover, Lin Rou has healing abilities, so if someone gets injured or something, she'll be there to help.

However, Zhang Chi did not reject the suggestions of the members of the Brotherhood, after all, they were people he had trained, and he had to give them face.

"Alright, go ahead. Keep some for backup, and you can divide the rest among yourselves." Zhang Chi waved his hand.

"Let's go eat, Rou Rou. Putting everything else aside, the food at this supermarket is absolutely amazing. We stopped near the supermarket just for this, so we can eat here every day from now on, haha..."

Zhang Chi laughed and pulled Lin Rou toward the dining area.

"The flowers haven't been decided yet!" Lin Rou stamped her feet anxiously.

She heard everything clearly at the door.

Such a wonderful mutated flower must belong to Lin Rou.

In this awful weather, a 20-degree drop is already a luxury.

Cheng Xu and Li Jianan were also busy; they had already scanned all the selected supplies and were packing them.

"Boss, I need this flower..."

"Swipe it for us first!" Zhang Chi rushed forward, shoved Lin Rou's card into Shan Nai's hand, and said impatiently, "1000, right? I'll pay 1200! Highest bidder wins, very reasonable!"

Cheng Xu wanted to laugh. They outnumbered him, and after much consideration, he originally wanted to say, "No, thank you."

Who knew this man would try to raise the price...

“1500.” Cheng Xu’s lips curled up in a smile.

"1700!"

“2000.” Cheng Xu crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and spoke casually.

Zhang Chi was furious. He gritted his teeth and glared at the two people standing opposite him, feeling a bitter taste in his mouth.

Lin Rou had told him that this Li Jianan was just the son of her family's former driver, who had always secretly loved her and was determined to pester her.

In front of Li Jianan, to make Lin Rou happy, he had to win over this cooling flower today.

Shannai watched the two of them secretly bidding, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

"System, for items sold in this situation, can the points be credited to the supermarket?"

She's fine with selling it however she wants, but she cares about whether she can earn the points.

[Hehe, it's not impossible. If a customer is willing to pay a high price, we can't refuse to sell, right, host?]

Shan Nai was secretly delighted, but the system seemed to have the air of a shrewd businessman.

But she likes it.

It's like someone offering you a pillow when you're sleepy.

She was worried about how to unlock the points required to access the basement.
