My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

Yamana discovered that people really have no resistance to delicious food.

She glanced at the digital clock on the wall; it was only 10:20, and most customers had already started cooking their meat rolls...

Only a few female customers were still carefully selecting items.

"This spicy broth is really flavorful, but I haven't had anything spicy in so long, I hope I won't get diarrhea after eating this..."

Customer A said he was afraid of stomach pain, but his hands didn't stop. While eating the meat roll, he gulped down several mouthfuls of ice-cold soda.

Customer B sneered, "Look at you, so pathetic. You've obviously never bought 'Wei Ning Bao' from the supermarket pharmacy before. Let me tell you, it's really effective, so don't worry about taking it!"

"Yes, yes, and there's also 'Xie Li Ting'! It's super effective too, one pill is all it takes, bro, you deserve to have it." Customer C recommended it while stuffing tripe into his mouth.

Fatty Cui was almost dying of laughter at his old buddies.

"What kind of mess are you guys made of? Taking medicine while showing off your hot pot, really... I've learned something, hahaha, cheers, brothers~ Show off as much as you want~" Fatty Cui raised his glass, his face glowing.

As soon as Feng Qingrui and Yan Junli entered, they heard a series of crisp and pleasant clinking glasses.

"Wow... this little girl is quite capable, she even made hot pot." Yan Junli squinted slightly as he looked towards the dining area, his slender fingers half-covering his lips as he whispered.

"A customer has arrived..." The smile on Yamana's face gradually faded after she saw who it was.

"here we go again....."

[Host, don't be afraid, the system will protect you!]

Yamana touched the soft bubbles on the screen and sighed, "Sigh, it's not that I'm afraid of them, it's just that I feel like I've been marked, it's weird."

The system bounced around a few times.

Ignore them. They're just jealous and resentful of us. Humph.

Feng Qingrui searched everywhere for Shan Nai's figure with a cold face.

Shannai was lying on the checkout counter, and it was hard to notice her sneaking around there unless you got close.

Of course, Yamana was also observing her through the gap in the cash register.

This woman, once inside the supermarket, started looking around searching for something; she didn't look like she was there to buy supplies at all.

It's so obvious, isn't it? They're too lazy to even pretend anymore.

Are they working together with Zhou Mozhen to capture me? Shan Nai bit her fingertip.

Yan Junli looked around but couldn't find the target. His tone was worried. "Where is he? Did he really run away?"

"Keep your voice down, I'm going to check it out."

Feng Qingrui walked step by step toward the cashier.

Just as she was about to see Yamana, Yamana suddenly stood up and shouted, "Were you looking for me?!"

"Holy crap...you scared me." Yan Junli took a step back, looking flustered.

Feng Qingrui was also clearly startled. Slightly embarrassed, she brushed a few stray hairs behind her ear and chuckled awkwardly. "The boss is so funny. I see everyone is eating hot pot. Hehe, so many kinds of ingredients... it must be very difficult to transport and preserve, right?"

I'm so sorry to have troubled you~

They're also difficult to transport and store.

Sorry, we refresh automatically and the staff replenishes the stock, so you don't have to worry about it at all.

Yamana thought to herself, "This is what I'm complaining about."

The system itself laughed.

"It's alright, are the customers here for hot pot too?" Shan Nai replied casually.

"Buy some supplies. The small business owner must have some special skills to run such a large supermarket. This space storage must be quite extensive," Feng Qingrui continued, trying to get information out of him in a friendly manner.

Shan Nai crossed her arms, a cold smile playing on her cherry lips, and said calmly, "Yes, I'm super amazing. Any other questions?"

Feng Qingrui was taken aback by Shan Nai's answer.

So direct, without any hiding or concealment.

This left her somewhat at a loss.

"I... I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that a supermarket suddenly appears. Any normal person would be curious."

Feng Qingrui found herself somewhat unable to meet Shan Nai's gaze.

Her eyes were so clear.

Her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with stars and the sea, pure and lovely, making people yearn for them.

Yet she is also so mysterious.

Feng Qingrui admitted that not only her father wanted to study her, but she herself did too!

What secrets is she hiding?

If we can unlock this secret, could we gain her power, obtain the supermarket, control the survivors, and even change this era?

Thinking of this, Feng Qingrui's heart pounded wildly.

A sharp glint flashed in her eyes. "I have a huge piece of rare ore. I wonder if it can be exchanged for points. Would you be willing to go and take a look, little boss?"

Yan Junli clenched his fists, watching Shan Nai without making a sound.

He knew that Xiao Rui wanted to lure Shan Nai out of the supermarket.

[Host, don't believe her! System analysis indicates this woman's words are not credible.]

Shan Nai silently agreed to the system's request, but outwardly didn't bother to waste any more words with her.

"I don't want to." Shan Nai refused decisively.

"You! What kind of boss are you? You don't even accept good things?" Yan Junli wanted to retort, but Feng Qingrui immediately glared at him, so he could only hold back.

Shannai made a delicate pinky gesture, placed it on her nose in an affected manner, and smiled charmingly, "Yes, it's right in front of you~"

Feng Qingrui had a headache at the moment. This girl seemed to have installed anti-fraud software; no matter what she said, she just wouldn't fall for it.

"Xiao Rui, come here first." Yan Junli took her hand and turned her around.

"Stop wasting time talking to her. This girl is cunning and not easily fooled. Now we either try to catch her directly, or we wait for her to leave the supermarket on her own before we make our move," Yan Junli said in a very low voice.

Feng Qingrui was also quickly thinking of a solution.

"If you two aren't going to buy anything or eat anything, you can stand here for another 30 seconds," Shan Nai said with a smile from behind the cashier.

Yan Junli pressed the tip of his tongue against his back teeth, cursed under his breath, then pulled Feng Qingrui over, took out the membership card, and said through gritted teeth, "Swipe it, let's eat hot pot!"

“Okay.” Shan Nai took the membership card and placed it on the machine, then frowned. “I only have 1 point left, not enough for hot pot.”

Yan Junli looked at the goddess beside him.

"Recharge." Feng Qingrui took out the crystal core and placed it on the cashier's counter.

Looking at the colorful crystal cores, Shan Nai felt a secret joy.

Very well, even if these two turn against each other in the next moment, she will not return the crystal core.

"Haha, look at that, 'On How to Empty the Enemy's Wallet,' a whole 4000 points! Tsk tsk tsk."

[Host... Well done!]

It truly is a perfect host, one in a million, chosen by the best.

Feng Qingrui sat quietly in the corner, watching Yan Junli busily selecting various ingredients for her.

"Is there any difference between being in the supermarket and leaving the supermarket..." Feng Qingrui was still frowning in thought.

Another burst of noise rang in my ears.

The group of people around her were enjoying hot pot and chatting happily, their voices filled with joy and harmony, while she looked preoccupied and out of place among them.

"Xiao Rui, don't think about it for now. I know you have a lot of supplies stored in your cold storage, but these ingredients are all fresh, it would be a waste not to eat them."

Yan Junli cooked a piece of tripe for her.

"If my dad saw this, he'd scold you again." Although Feng Qingrui's attitude was indifferent, she did not refuse the tripe he offered.

"Hehe, it's alright, he can't see, you know! Good heavens! This...this shrimp paste is so tender and smooth." Yan Junli's eyes were full of amazement, and he quickly put a few more shrimp pastes into Feng Qingrui's small pot.

"Xiao Rui, taste this, savor it carefully, this hot pot is so tempting, is that girl an alien?" Yan Junli picked up a piece of spicy beef, dipped it in the secret sauce, and ate it in one bite.

"Look, look! A fight has broken out outside!"

Shannai was checking out a customer when she heard this and looked in the direction of the voice.

A bald man leaned over the floor-to-ceiling window in the dining area, pointing out the window.
