My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

Shan Nai took out a honey-glazed char siu rice from her personal backpack backstage.

Since she was eating her work lunch outside, Yamana did not pack the soup to go.

I want to drink an ice-cold soda today.

Shan Nai put the small flashlight aside, opened the lunchbox, picked up a piece of fatty and lean char siu with an enticing color, and put it in her mouth.

"Delicious!" Shan Nai squinted her eyes, twisted and turned, and the cat ears on her head swayed along with her movements.

The first bite was amazing.

The meat is tender and juicy, with lean meat that isn't dry and fatty meat that isn't greasy. The aroma of meat fills your mouth as you chew, making it a perfect accompaniment to rice.

Served with fried eggs and bok choy, it's a balanced meal with both meat and vegetables, nutritious and delicious.

Shannai ate each bite very carefully, and in no time, she had finished most of the food in the lunchbox.

'Pfft—' Shan Nai pulled the tab on her soda, tilted her head back, and gulped down several large mouthfuls.

"belch."

"boom!"

As Yamana hiccuped, the wall in front of her collapsed.

"Sister Nian, be careful!"

A woman's startled cry came from the thick dust.

[Severe environmental conditions detected; protective isolation barrier activated.]

The dust was so thick, it looked just like dense smoke, and Shan Nai couldn't see anything.

As the wall collapsed, the task map notification sound in the background of the mountain kept beeping.

She stood up, holding her lunchbox, and walked towards the source of the sound, feeding herself a spoonful of rice coated in honey.

[Host, be careful, there are people inside!]

"Ah! Help—cough cough cough..."

"Bai Lan!"

As soon as Yamana stepped over the wall, she saw a dark figure crawling up from the collapsed ruins and shouting in the same direction.

With a 'whoosh,' a dark shadow swiftly swept past Shannai.

As the dust slowly settled, Shannai finally saw the situation on the field clearly.

Two torches fell to the ground, and a mutated gray wolf was baring its teeth and pinning down a short-haired woman.

[It's a fourth-tier mutated wolf, host, be careful.]

"Mmm," Yamana nodded repeatedly, then realized the meaning behind the system's words, "Huh? You mean..."

[That's right, hehe, the system has already scanned it. There's an earth-attribute power stone inside this mutated wolf; it's the quest item we're looking for.]

Shan Nai swallowed the food in her mouth, wiped her mouth, put away the lunchbox and the soda, and let out a burp. "Okay, I understand."

She can fight zombies, and she has no problem fighting mutated beasts. She has cultivated in the deep mountains for many years and has killed many monsters.

This mutated gray wolf is very large.

The wounds on his body were still bleeding dark red blood.

Its neck was covered with unknown red parasitic fungi, emitting a foul and disgusting odor, and its blood-red eyes emitted a dark green light.

Its fangs were about to bite the short-haired woman beneath its claws.

The short-haired woman's neck was pressed down, rendering her unable to speak; her dirty face turned bluish-purple from the effort.

The man in black leaped into the air, wielding a sharp blade. With one hand, he unleashed several ice spikes, while with the other, he aimed the blade directly at the mutated gray wolf's neck.

"Die!" The man in black gritted his teeth and lunged forward.

Although the ice spikes successfully interrupted the mutated wolf's next move, the blades failed to kill it.

The mutated gray wolf moved swiftly, swatting the man in black away with a single claw.

Meanwhile, the short-haired woman under its claws took the opportunity to desperately crawl into the corner.

The man in black was thrown onto a rock, coughed up blood, struggled to his feet, and used another supernatural ability to freeze the mutated gray wolf in place.

"Who are you? Where did you come from?"

As Shannai was engrossed in watching, a girl suddenly rushed over from the opposite side, pointing at her with hostility.

The girl looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, with disheveled hair and a face covered in dirt.

"And who are you?" Shan Nai asked in return.

"Enough with the nonsense. Since they're alive, come and help! They're all seriously injured... they'll die if you keep fighting!" the girl commanded.

Yamana rubbed her cat ears and said calmly, "What does this have to do with me?"

"What kind of person are you? Sister Nian and Sister Lan are really dying. Don't you have any kindness at all? Are you going to be a bad woman who stands by and watches them die? If we die, that mutated wolf will definitely eat you next!"

The girl panicked.

Her bangs were damp with sweat, and her hands gripped the hem of her clothes nervously.

"Instead of wasting time talking, why don't you go and save them?" Shan Nai chuckled.

Seriously, I'm speechless. I'm just fighting a monster for a quest, and I run into this guy who talks big and tries to morally blackmail me.

It's the end of the world, and you're talking to me about compassion.

"Nana, run! My powers can't hold it for long... You go first!"

The man in black's cold voice came over.

Judging from the voice, the person in black is also a woman.

He's quite loyal.

Nana turned around, wiped the sweat from her face, glared fiercely at Shannai, and shouted, "I'll remember you! You won't get away with this!"

"I'm not leaving. I'm the one who deserves to die. If I hadn't been so reckless and run away today, I wouldn't have fallen into this trap, and Sister Lan wouldn't have broken her arm trying to save me! Sister Nian wouldn't be in danger either..."

"I'll hold it off, Sister Nian, you go! The survival camp can't do without you..." Nana cried and shouted.

Although Jinian was angry, she still forced herself to get up despite the pain.

She struggled to Bai Lan's side and helped her up, saying, "Bai Lan, hold on, you can't die here."

Bai Lan was very weak and responded in a low voice.

"Nana, stop being so stubborn. Let's go, our powers are about to wear off." Ji Nian's voice was low and filled with helplessness.

It seems that this girl won't move unless she leaves.

Seeing this, Nana stopped crying and rushed forward to help support Bai Lan.

But the mutated gray wolf behind him had gradually broken free from the freezing restraints. It waved its sharp claws and howled.

I thought it would chase after the three women, but to my surprise, it opened its blood-red maw and looked in the direction of Shannai.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock."

The mutated gray wolf grinned, saliva rapidly dripping onto the rocks.

[Host, it looks like it's coming towards us!]

"Hmm, I see, I guess I smell better~" Yamaha pulled out a small golden pistol.

"Sister Nian, look! The mutated wolf went to find that strange person! That's great! We have time to escape!" Nana exclaimed excitedly, her face beaming with joy.

Shan Nai frowned.

I really want to kick her.

"Shut up, help Bai Lan and get out of here! This is a fourth-tier mutated wolf, not an ordinary zombie beast, stop messing around!"

There's a big difference between mutant beasts and zombie beasts.

To put it bluntly, it's like the roles of zombies and superhumans.

Nana's eyes welled up with tears, and she could tell from Ji Nian's current emotions that she didn't dare to argue anymore. She could only walk forward with her head down.

"Friend, watch out!"

As soon as he ran back to his original spot, he saw the mutated gray wolf already pouncing towards Shan Nai.

She had her own reasons for coming back.

This place is too close to her survival camp. Even if the three of them manage to escape today, this mutated gray wolf will still find them by following their scent.

What will happen to the more than two hundred women in the survival camp at that time?

In the dim light, she had been secretly observing Yamana.

Ji Nian didn't know where Shan Nai came from, but she showed no fear or apprehension towards the mutated gray wolf.

Therefore, based on the memorial, Yamana is definitely a superhuman with considerable abilities.

It would be better to bring her back and kill this mutated gray wolf together; that would truly resolve this crisis.

Just as the mutated gray wolf charged toward Shanna, Shanna leaped over it, easily clearing its body, and stepped onto its back, using the momentum to take off.

With a graceful mid-air turn, her skirt billowed as she landed lightly behind the mutated gray wolf.

"Wow, that's amazing..." Ji Nian exclaimed.

The fourth-tier mutated gray wolf is extremely fast.

Her special ability had only reached the mid-stage of the third tier, making it impossible for her to dodge its frontal attack so perfectly and quickly.
