My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

[Beep beep beep, special mission item has appeared nearby, please search carefully.]

The teleportation bracelet vibrated slightly, signaling a notification. Shan Nai's eyebrows twitched slightly, she pursed her lips, turned around, and rushed into the underground passage of Exit F of the subway.

Following the mission prompts, Shan Nai chased after the thing, but she couldn't make out what the screeching black shadow was.

The further they went in, the dimmer the light became. Shan Nai slowly stopped and took out a powerful small flashlight from the boss's storage space.

Once inside the subway station, the roads became difficult to navigate, with many roads blocked off.

Yamana climbed over the railing and chose to walk on the track, hearing the 'drip drip drip' sound of water in her ears.

"This system is so creepy~" She twitched her ears, and her round pupils glowed green in the darkness, like two bright flashlights!

"Chirp, hiss—"

They chased it all the way to the entrance of a collapsed underground shop before Yamana could barely make out what the dark, screeching object was.

Around the ruins, a group of about twenty zombie monkeys with dark red eyes, ulcerated skin, and mottled stone patterns were huddled together!

The smallest of the zombie monkeys that Shannai was chasing had already blended in with them and was now eyeing Shannai menacingly.

Shan Nai roughly observed the surroundings and discovered that the row of shopping mall storefronts where the zombie monkey was hiding had a row of normally lit energy-saving light tubes hanging on them, spaced a few meters apart, extending inwards.

[Host, this must be the underground shopping mall Luo Shen mentioned. We should already be within the black market's territory.]

Shannai raised her small flashlight and circled the pile of zombie monkeys. "Yes, but I need to get the quest item first..."

Before she could finish speaking, the horde of zombie monkeys pounced on her in droves.

"careful!"

Just as Shan Nai stepped on the first zombie monkey that approached her, she was pulled away by a pair of large hands.

Baili Yu hid Shan Nai behind his back and shouted at Su Cheng, "So many zombie monkeys and you're not going to do anything? She's just a child!"

Su Cheng sneered.

Has this idiot forgotten how gracefully that girl escaped the flames just now?!

"Little sister, don't be afraid. Uh... this prop is so realistic. Can I touch your ears?" Baili Yu raised his hand and easily blocked the charging zombie monkey with a blue shield wall. He turned his head and spoke to Shan Nai.

"No." How impolite of you!

Shan Nai frowned, snorted coldly, immediately straightened her ears, put her hands on her hips, and kicked the man in front of her.

"Holy crap! Ouch! That hurts!" Baili Yu was kicked to the corner of the wall, his back hitting a sharp rock. His face contorted instantly, as if he were wearing a mask of pain.

Upon hearing his cry of alarm, the zombie monkeys changed their target and lunged at him with wide-open mouths.

"Serves you right." Su Cheng shook his head, drew the long sword from his back, and walked towards him. With a swift stroke, the zombie monkey's head fell to the ground.

Baili Yu is a genius doctor, and his defensive shield ability is non-offensive. Su Cheng must step in to protect him.

Shan Nai scratched his head, pulled out his golden pistol, and ran into the pile of zombie monkeys, painstakingly searching for the 'quest monster'.

With a twisted face, she stomped on the head of a zombie monkey lying on the ground, crushing it without even blinking. Then, she raised her hand and fired a barrage of shots, instantly freezing the other zombie monkeys surrounding her in place.

With a snap, it shattered completely.

Baili Yu rubbed his eyes and nudged Su Cheng, "Dual elemental stats, water and fire? Pretty strong too, that's impressive... even stronger than you!"

Su Cheng quickly dealt with the zombie monkeys around him and prepared to collect the corpses.

Yamana circled the ice shards but still couldn't find the quest item, stomping her feet in frustration, "Aaaaah, where is it?!"

[Beep beep beep, special mission detected: Dark-type Ability Stone.]

[The host... is in that man's hands!]

∑(OoO)?

Yamana almost cried. She pouted and looked helplessly at the two men.

really…

The man in the white vest had just picked up the black stone.

"System, I'm so unlucky. I finally caught up with them, but they killed the quest monster. Waaah~" Although Shan Nai was filled with bitterness, her eyes were glowing with a dark green light as she walked step by step toward Su Cheng.

Seeing this, Shan Nai was so frightened that Baili Yu, who was already sitting on the ground, immediately hugged Su Cheng's calves tightly with both hands. "She's coming! Could she really be a mutant cat? What if she eats us...?"

"Shut up, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak!" Su Cheng said through gritted teeth, trying to shake him off, but he only held her tighter.

"Ahem, my friend, is this stone in your hand... for sale?"

With her hands behind her back, Shanna raised her pretty face, revealing her cutest and most charming smile, and her cat ears drooped down, obediently sticking to her sides.

"So...so cute..." Baili Yu swallowed hard.

Su Cheng is 188 cm tall. He squeezed the power stone in his palm, then looked down at Shan Nai and said with a half-smile, "What will you give me in exchange?"

The ability stones are indeed not easy to drop, and the energy they contain is much greater than that of crystal cores, making them the best choice for enhancing abilities. However, he wanted special materials even more.

What can we exchange it for?

She's the owner of Lucky Supermarket.

Shan Nai laughed, licked her lips, and smiled, "What do you want?"

"Yao yao yao!" Baili Yu yelled at the top of his lungs from below.

"What do you want?" Shan Nai asked, looking down.

"Medicine! Medicine! Do you have any?"

"No way, are you sick? Just tell me what you want!" Shan Nai wanted to kick him again.

"Medical supplies." Su Cheng glared at the child clinging tightly to his leg and said helplessly, "Or medical supplies."

"Oh, medicine..." Shan Nai lowered her head and gave Bai Liyu a look, letting him figure it out for himself.

Baili Yu felt extremely wronged. "Yes, I've said it several times already, hmph."

"Here's what we'll do: if you can provide information about the source of the medicine, this stone is yours."

Su Cheng could tell that the girl in front of him was no ordinary person, but medicine was much harder to obtain than supplies, and he didn't want to deliberately make things difficult for her.

After all, his purpose in coming to the black market today was for medicine.

"Really?" Shan Nai was overjoyed to hear this.

"Ah."

As long as there is a source of medicine, Su Cheng thought he could definitely get his hands on a few of the drugs they needed.

Shannai held out her palm and smiled sweetly, "Then give it to me now, I know where to buy medicine."

Su Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression unchanged. "Is the information reliable?"

"Very reliable; they have painkillers, bandages, a basic first-aid kit, insulin..."

Shan Nai twirled a strand of hair behind her ear, kicked her little feet back and forth, and casually mentioned a few medicine names.

Su Cheng stood there without moving, even considering his chances of winning if Shan Nai tried to take it by force.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what are you spacing out for!" Baili Yu suddenly tugged at Su Cheng's hand, instantly snatched the black stone, turned around and handed it to Shan Nai, saying with a grin, "Here, quickly tell me where the medicine came from!"

Hearing her name so professionally, Baili Yu already trusted her completely.

Seeing this, Shan Nai was overjoyed. She raised an eyebrow, took the black power stone, pointed to herself, and said with a slight parting of her cherry lips, "I sold it."

Before he could finish speaking, Baili Yu stood up abruptly, his eyes wide with disbelief, and tugged at the sleeve of the man beside him. "You? Uh...did you hear that...she has drugs!"

Although Baili Yu was a highly skilled doctor, medical supplies in the camp were extremely scarce; it was like a skilled cook trying to make a meal without ingredients.

So he racked his brains every day trying to get medical supplies.
