My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

Shan Nai, holding her milk tea, glanced at the two men outside the gate and frowned slightly.

Are these four people together?

Wearing a white coat in this heat, aren't you hot?

"That Zhou Mo guy, why is he still haunting us? We should just kill him..."

[Host, the system just detected that the old man in the white coat across the street used his supernatural abilities to probe our supermarket.]

But don't worry, host, our supermarket belongs to another realm; he can't detect anything about it.

This piqued Shan Nai's curiosity, and she put down her milk tea. "So, they came prepared."

Their purpose is currently unclear.

Alright, we'll play it by ear.

Yamana straightened her clothes, smiled warmly, and said enthusiastically, "Welcome!"

Professor Feng's eyes were fixed on Shannai from the moment he entered the room.

The more he looked, the stranger it seemed. He stared intently at the pair of fluffy cat ears on Yamana's head, lost in thought.

Secondly, when he saw the edible lily at the entrance, his expression became noticeably excited, and he immediately squatted down, took out a magnifying glass, and began to observe it.

Feng Qingrui shook her head, stepped forward alone, took out several third-tier crystal cores, and said coldly, "Get two memberships."

Since the other party's attitude was cold, Shan Nai naturally didn't think much of it and offered to pay them extra. She simply accepted the crystal cores and politely registered them for memberships.

Four third-order crystal nuclei.

Yamana felt she was becoming more and more greedy for money.

After exchanging the crystal cores, a countdown simultaneously appeared on the back of the hands of both the Feng father and daughter.

Feng Qingrui repeatedly observed this string of magical numbers, and subconsciously rubbed it vigorously with her hands.

After rubbing my hands back and forth several times, the back of my hands turned red, but the countdown timer remained intact.

"Xiao Rui, don't worry about this."

Professor Feng had already made a preliminary assessment in his mind.

He seemed quite pleased, and without a second thought, he pushed the shopping cart and began searching for something worthy of his study and analysis.

Feng Qingrui nodded and quickly followed.

Shan Nai was already planning to have dinner, but the behavior of this father and daughter was too unusual.

She immediately lost her appetite.

The father and daughter showed no interest in basic necessities such as food and drink.

However, they seem overly attentive to items like small appliances, clothing, and medicines sold exclusively in supermarkets.

"Oh? System, look..."

Just as Shan Nai was about to take a look at the surveillance footage, she saw a strange scene.

Professor Feng casually pointed to a bag of beef jerky on the shelf and said softly to his daughter, "Xiao Rui, Dad needs you to experience the effects of electric shock for yourself."

Feng Qingrui didn't seem surprised at all. After obediently nodding, she reached out and took the beef jerky, trying to tear it open with great force.

[Warning: Violation of regulations will result in an electric shock penalty for the first offense. Repeat offenders will be blacklisted.]

With a "thud," Feng Qingrui fell to the ground as she had hoped, her whole body enveloped in electric current, suffering excruciating pain.

Professor Feng raised his hand without changing his expression, glanced at the watch on his wrist, then squatted down to approach Feng Qingrui, took out his notebook, opened his pen, and began to observe and record.

The electric shock ended three minutes later.

With a deathly pale face, Feng Qingrui shakily propped herself up and stammered, "Dad..."

"Let's talk about it when we get back. Can you still stand up?"

Professor Feng interrupted her and put away his notebook.

"Phew... thankfully."

Feng Qingrui took a deep breath of fresh air, a fleeting, almost imperceptible look of disappointment in her eyes.

At this point, Yamana was speechless.

Why would anyone intentionally want to be electrocuted?

So fascinating…

"System, human thinking is so strange, this is his daughter..."

[Host, according to the system's scan analysis, this father and daughter are experts in biomedicine.]

Shanna laughed after hearing this.

Yes, she understood now.

"You've discovered the wonders of our supermarket, haven't you? Want to study its secrets? Humph, dream on!" Shan Nai said indignantly.

Little did they know, Professor Feng was most interested in and most eager to study her.

Immediately afterwards, the father and daughter each quickly experienced the hot spring room and the VR room.

After the experience.

Professor Feng returned to the supermarket's front hall, his mind filled with various speculations and analyses about the supermarket.

"Xiao Rui, we must have this girl. Dad has a feeling that she will be an important experiment to change the times!"

Professor Feng gripped his daughter's hand tightly, his eyes welling up with tears, and he lost control of his emotions.

Seeing her father so excited and happy, Feng Qingrui felt happy too.

It's been so long since I've seen my father smile.

My father's lifelong goal was to research projects that would advance humanity and leave a lasting legacy.

"Xiao Rui understands, but it seems that her superpowers cannot be used here."

“Yes, this is the base of her energy. We can’t make a move in the supermarket. Let’s go outside and make more detailed plans.”

Professor Feng ignored the items already paid for in his shopping cart and rushed out of the supermarket like a whirlwind.

Just before leaving, he took one last, extremely reluctant look at Yamana.

Feng Qingrui bought another shopping bag, packed her items, and left.

Watching her departing figure, now it was Yamana's turn to stand there, bewildered.

"Gone?? They're gone already?"

Shannai slumped into the boss's chair and stuck out her tongue.

She thought something was going to happen.

Uh…could it be that the system analysis is wrong?

The system was also scratching its head.

Shannai could clearly sense the ill intent in the old man in the white coat's gaze.

It felt just like a hunter capturing his prey.

That's really weird.

Zhou Mo and Yan Junli waited across from the supermarket for almost two hours before finally seeing Professor Feng walk out.

The two quickly stood up and waved to him.

A few minutes later, the group of four regrouped.

"It's too late today, I'll stay nearby for the night." Professor Feng took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Yan Junli smiled and squeezed closer to Feng Qingrui, saying, "Don't worry, Professor, we've already found a place to stay. It's very close. Let's go."

The night in the apocalypse was very quiet.

The dilapidated city was completely dark.

Thick clouds seemed to cover everything.

A sky full of stars seems to have become a legend.

The moonlight was hazy, like a phantom.

It was pitch black.

All that exists are night-raiding zombies that roam wildly at night and oversized mutated mosquitoes and rats that are visible to the naked eye.

Zhou Mo blasted the zombie's head off with a lightning strike, then turned around and said impatiently, "Professor Feng, can we not use a flashlight? There are too many zombies."

Can you believe that such a tiny flashlight can emit such intense light?!

"Heh, let's test the effects of the supermarket's items. These zombies can't possibly stump Chief Zhou," Professor Feng said with a forced smile.

But he didn't turn off the small flashlight.

Zhou Mo was speechless, frowning as he scratched his arm where he had been bitten by a large mosquito.

If he didn't need Zhou Mo's help, he really wouldn't have bothered asking this crazy father and daughter for help.

They spend all day holed up in the lab researching this and that, and buying all sorts of strange and unusual experimental subjects from the outside world.

His desire to be a savior was practically written all over his face.

"Fighting zombies is such a waste of time. Look at me, I'm almost eaten alive by mosquitoes, while you guys have mosquito repellent patches to use..." Zhou Mo grinned, his tone somewhat aggrieved.

Yan Junli lowered his head and smelled the mosquito repellent patch on his hand. "Even if I put it on you, you wouldn't be able to use it. I must say, the things in this supermarket are really worth having. I didn't even get bitten by any mosquitoes!"

He's extremely attractive to mosquitoes.
