My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

After taking care of everything, Jinian only bought a pineapple bun before leaving.

She again did not choose to enjoy her meal in the supermarket's dining area.

Yamana probably figured out the reason too; she wanted to taste it with the sisters in the survival camp.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully activated two buses!]

Its host is really smart.

The pre-built membership model is actually listed in the very last, most inconspicuous line of small print under the 'Supermarket Membership Application Details' category.

The system hadn't expected its host to be so attentive. It had intended to send a quick reminder, but it hadn't managed to do so.

She's a clever little kitten.

I really want to get close to my host.

"Ahem, that's all thanks to the hard work of the camp sisters. It was a truly happy day. We earned 20,000 points, and after deducting 15,000 for the bus, we still have 5,000 left!"

Shannai leaned back, half-lying on the comfortable office chair, and reached out to pick up the cat-shaped pillow next to her, burying her face in it and rubbing against it, looking very content.

Seeing my total points increase by more than 5000 is really great; I'm one step closer to reaching my goal.

'Crash.' Something fell onto the cash register.

Shannai's furry ears instinctively twitched in response to the sound, "...It's the sound of the crystal core!" Her hearing was perfect.

She suddenly looked up and saw that it was indeed a crystal core.

Wow, what a day! Customers are coming to our door to give us points!

The system bubbles bounce around on the screen, giving it a cute and cuddly feel.

Standing opposite the cashier is Chu He.

He looked at Shanna with a smile in his eyes, "I heard that now everyone calls you Boss Cat."

Yama's eyes were wide open, and her cute cat ears drooped softly. "Sigh... It was a nickname given to me by the people at your base."

“It suits you very well.” Chu He pointed to the pair of orange cat ears on her head.

Shan Nai gave an awkward smile, almost drooping her ears, "Captain Chu is being generous today, coming out to replenish supplies!"

Let's change the subject.

Don't stare at their ears, cats can be shy too.

Chu He stepped forward, getting a little closer to the cashier, "Yeah, let's contribute some sales to Boss Cat too."

Shan Nai sensed that Chu He was acting strangely.

"You need something from me?" Shan Nai squinted, voicing her suspicions.

"Haha." Chu He laughed a few times and nodded. "Boss Cat is indeed amazing. We should definitely buy the supplies, but... I do have something I want to ask you."

Yamana looked like she was waiting for him to continue.

"Does the name Zhang Chi ring a bell for you, Boss Cat?" Chu He's expression suddenly turned serious.

Yamana parted her cherry lips slightly, then closed them again, gently biting her lip.

Zhang Chi, she remembered him so well, the one who bought the first Eating Temperature Flower at a high price.

For the next two weeks, Zhang Chi and his group would spend three hours at the supermarket every day, buying anything of interest they saw, and their spending was quite extravagant.

But I haven't seen them much lately. "Uh... what's wrong? Do you two have a grudge?" Yamana didn't answer directly.

They're all members. Although Zhang Chi isn't a great person, he hasn't violated any rules... Shan Nai can't directly expose his information.

Chu He explained the incident of 'Zhang Chi taking women and his men to steal half of the base's warehouse' in just a few words.

After searching for so long, there was still no trace of him. Logically speaking, Zhang Chi should have been camped near Lucky Supermarket.

I've been searching for six or seven days, but there's still no news.

We're really out of options, so we'll ask the cat owner to confirm if he's nearby.

[No wonder those people were so extravagant when buying goods; they got them through illegitimate means!] The system was quite annoyed and snorted coldly.

Chuhe noticed that Shannai seemed to be in a daze and hadn't said anything, so he wondered what she meant. "Boss Cat?"

"Oh, well... I suggest you go to the street across from the supermarket..."

"Captain Chu, it's Zhang Chi! Zhang Chi has been found!"

Before Shan Nai could finish speaking, a man rushed in through the door, shouting urgently to Chu He, "He's right outside! The brothers have him under control!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Chu He frowned, his expression becoming even more serious.

He turned to Shan Nai and said, "Please exchange the crystal core. I've found the person I'm looking for and need to go there to deal with them."

"Okay, no problem." Shannai quickly renewed his subscription.

Shannai topped up the membership card and handed it over, saying, "Okay."

Chu He was clearly in a hurry; he thanked her and strode out of the supermarket.

"System, let's go take a look too." Shan Nai grinned, a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.

【Okay~】

Yamana took small, quick steps and pushed open the supermarket door, where she saw Chuhe standing on a street corner not far from the supermarket.

But by the time Shan Nai walked over, Zhang Chi had already been beaten black and blue and was tightly bound by his wood-type supernatural power.

"Wow, that's so fast! How come there are only a few people..."

The only people present were Zhang Chi, who was being rubbed against the ground, Zhang Jiajia, whose arms were tied behind her back, and Lin Rou, who was lying on the ground crying.

"Boss, no, no, no! We're brothers, you wouldn't kill me!" Zhang Chi's front teeth were knocked out, and blood was flowing from his nose and mouth.

Chu He kicked him again, saying viciously, "You dare call yourself a brother? I'll say it again: hand over the stuff and I'll spare your worthless life, otherwise..."

"Cousin, cousin, please let me go! I was forced to leave the base. Please believe me, Zhang Chi has wasted all the resources and crystal cores. He deserves to die!" Zhang Jiajia pleaded bitterly, her face contorted with embarrassment.

Lin Rou slowly pulled down Chu He's pants, and said with difficulty, "Brother Chu, I'm just a weak woman, it has nothing to do with me... Please let me go, it was all Zhang Chi's doing!"

Zhang Chi was completely bewildered by the two women's actions. He stared intently at Lin Rou, gritting his teeth in anger, "How dare you speak like that? Don't you know how much I've spent on you? Now that I'm in trouble, you still have the nerve to kick me while I'm down, ptooey!"

Half of the crystal cores taken from the base warehouse were used for food and drink, and the other half were used to upgrade Lin Rou's superpowers.

Zhang Chi deeply regretted his decision to leave the base.

Being a leader is really tough. He's not cut out for it. He can't even manage his twenty-odd men. There's a lot of complaining, and they've all run away.

Chu He rubbed his temples, extremely impatient. "So you're saying the crystal core is gone, right?"

Yes, but…

"Uh."

Zhang Chi was still speaking when he stopped abruptly.

Because Chuhe's ice blade had already slashed his throat, and blood was flowing freely.

Zhang Chi died with his eyes wide open, never expecting that Chu He wouldn't give him a chance at all. In the moment his eyes dimmed, they were still fixed on Lin Rou.

"Boss, what should we do with those two?" the subordinate asked in a low voice.

"Tell her to go to the hideout and hand over her weapons. Since you've all used the crystal cores, you can all die." Chu He sheathed his supernatural ice blade, his eyes filled with frost.

The two women behind him were still screaming hysterically, but no one paid any attention.

Chuhe turned around and saw Shannai lying in the corner like a kitten, tilting her head to watch the show.

"Is fighting and killing entertaining?" Chu He smiled.

Yamana nodded obediently, "It's beautiful! I've learned something!"

Chu He frowned, his face full of question marks. "Learn what? How to kill?"

Do you even need to learn? With a wave of his hand, hordes of people instantly explode on the spot. Don't you have any idea how powerful and destructive that is?

Chu He was internally ranting about Shan Nai at this moment.

I think she's the kind of person who pretends to be weak while actually being strong.

"Learning... Captain Chu's decisiveness, hehe." Shan Nai smiled guiltily.

To be honest, Shan Nai felt that she really needed to learn from him; if she could take action, she shouldn't talk so much.

The supermarket's punishment system is passive, since selling goods is its primary business, and combat is not its main focus.

Punishment and retaliation will only be initiated when violations of the rules are detected or an attack is launched.

But she wasn't going to be passive. "Next time someone tries to bully me, I'll just shoot them to death," Yamana thought to herself.

[Host, why bother doing it yourself? The supermarket is invincible, and they can't even reach us~ Isn't it better to just drive the villain crazy?]
