My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

Yamana got up on time early the next morning.

[Wow??? The alarm clock didn't go off before the host got up! What makes the host work so hard? Is it love? Is it responsibility...?]

"It's the background beeping!" Shannai's fluffy head popped out from the collar of a T-shirt and muttered helplessly.

What I fear most is the sudden silence in the air.

The system remained silent for a few seconds.

Uh...hehe, sorry, I accidentally turned off the do-not-disturb mode just now. The beeping sound was the supermarket's payment notification...

Shan Nai pulled her long hair out from the nape of her neck, raising an eyebrow slightly. "But it's only 8:30 now, isn't the supermarket closed?"

[It's a smart vending machine; it started receiving payments and orders late last night.]

Yamana nodded. "Really? That proves the black market problem is solved! Great! Let's go take a look, and while we're at it, let's unlock the bus."

[Host, please eat first. You are still growing, so it's recommended that you eat three proper meals a day.]

The system's tone was very serious, and it had already brought up the "boss's special treatment" in the background.

Sigh... Is it still growing...?

Shan Nai touched her ears, her little face puffed out, "If eating could increase my cultivation, who knows, if I keep cultivating I could go to the Spirit Realm~"

It's a pity that this era has lost its spiritual energy.

[Don't be discouraged, host! Completing the final upgrade of the supermarket will reward you with a super mysterious gift pack—it might even be a reshaping of your spirit body!]

Shan Nai thought it made sense.

Who cares? As long as there's food and drink here, it's fine.

With the black market on her mind, Shan Nai wasn't in the mood to sit down and enjoy her breakfast. She just grabbed a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) and some soy milk and rushed off to the black market.

Meanwhile, in the city center streets of Heilongjiang.

"Da Chengzi! My membership card is vibrating! Does this mean the medicine I ordered yesterday has arrived?" Baili Yu was guarding the smart compression cabinet, his eyes filled with excitement.

Curious and excited, he took his membership card and swiped it to the corresponding cabinet where he had placed the order. With a 'beep', the cabinet opened successfully, and inside were indeed the medicines he had selected online yesterday!

Baili Yu couldn't wait to open the medicine and examine it carefully. He found nothing unusual, breathed a sigh of relief, and jumped up and down with joy.

Su Cheng is currently making the final handover with the new maintainers of the black market.

Yesterday, after Su Cheng and his gang took down Qian Defa's hideout, they went on to wipe out all the squads of the guard regiment in one fell swoop.

When they found Qian Defa, they discovered that he and more than twenty of his teammates had all been electrocuted in front of the vending machine.

Isn't this fantastic news?

They easily captured that old thief, Qian Defa, without any effort.

The Black Market Guard was completely wiped out.

The position of new black market administrator was originally unanimously recommended to Su Chenglai.

But he flatly refused, saying that carrying the hundreds of people from the Sunset Red camp on his back was enough for him.

With over two thousand people in the black market, he didn't have the time or inclination to be a leader.

Ultimately, we can only find someone who contributed the most, is strong, and has a sense of responsibility from yesterday's chaotic battle to take on the role.

This time they were more careful and didn't create a single leader. Instead, they established a black market maintenance team and recruited many promising young members.

From now on, all matters, big and small, in the black market will be decided by vote.

As the crisis in the black market subsided, thanks to Xiao Hu's enthusiastic promotion, all sorts of merchants, informants, and talents hidden in the backstreets of the black market quietly emerged.

The group gathered around the smart vending machine for their first major meeting to reorganize the black market.

The captured crystal cores and supplies were distributed equally, and everyone was very satisfied.

The next step is to arrange for the injured to become members of Lucky Supermarket first and order medicines.

I hope to receive my ordered goods on time at 9:00 AM the next morning.

Other people also lined up and took turns participating.

Hearing his companion's call, Su Cheng handed the list in his hand to Xiao Zeng, saying, "The quantities of weapons are all here. From now on, the black market is entirely up to you guys. I'm going to take a look."

Xiao Zeng is the maintenance team leader. He is a fourth-level fire-type ability user. He is highly capable and has a strong sense of responsibility. Yesterday, he risked his own life several times to save people. He is a true hero.

"Alright, thank you so much for your help, Brother Su! The black market will always be an ally of the Sunset Red Camp!" Xiao Zeng gripped Su Cheng's hands tightly, somewhat excited.

Su Cheng nodded slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to walk towards Baili Yu.

"Damn it!" Su Cheng cursed under his breath.

He had just turned his head when he was startled by Yamana falling from the sky.

Yes, that's right.

It appeared out of thin air without any warning.

"Oh!!!" The people queuing around also witnessed this scene and their mouths dropped open.

Shan Nai held a jianbing guozi in one hand and a soy milk in the other, looking around at the surroundings, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Hi everyone, good morning!

"Boss Cat, where did you come from?? This...this is an underground shopping mall...did you fall from the sky??" Baili Yu rushed over, pointed up at the intact basement ceiling, and looked completely bewildered.

Shan Nai had a slight smile on her face, but it was a little stiff.

She simply clicked on the vending machine when the portal opened, and that's how she got teleported here.

It's not easy to explain...

"Is it possible... that this is my superpower..." Shan Nai took another bite of the pancake, blinked her innocent big eyes, and spun around in place.

She planned to play dumb and get away with it.

"Spatial teleportation ability?? How many abilities do you have? This is outrageous! I'm so jealous!" Baili Yu covered his eyes, looking heartbroken.

Su Cheng nearly ground his back teeth to powder, his brow twitching as he said, slowly and deliberately, "Boss Cat is really something!"

This girl is truly breathtaking, Su Cheng thought to himself.

Yamana quickly glanced around and saw that everyone was cooperating well in queuing to buy goods. She smiled and said, "Hehe, thank you for the compliment. Has everything been resolved with the guards? Are the vending machines we placed here at Lucky Supermarket working properly?"

"Well, in the end, we were able to successfully eliminate the villains thanks to Boss Cat's superpowers..." Su Cheng explained to her in the simplest terms everything that happened from yesterday afternoon to night.

Yamana was also greatly shocked when she heard that the food processing room had been discovered.

Fortunately, the culprit has been dealt with, and died a rather gruesome death.

He was stuffed to death by angry black market people stuffing handfuls of food into his mouth.

The corpses were chopped up and thrown out to feed the zombies.

“That’s great, right, Team Leader Zeng? Our supermarket can also apply for a dedicated bus to stop at the entrance of the black market…” Shan Nai took the opportunity to arrange the bus.

After listening, Xiao Zeng nodded frantically, a little shyly. He was a huge supporter of Shan Nai's supermarket.

After what happened to the Black Market Guard, everyone was both angry and resentful.

Born in the apocalypse, it's already a miracle that everyone can survive. It's also fate that they can gather in the black market. They just want to try their best to live and hope to see a new sun rise one day.

Even if Shanna's appearance is strange, the supplies she brought are genuine, and everyone can personally attest to their quality and low prices. It's enough that the people in the black market are willing to believe her.

The crowd was delighted to hear that they could be picked up and dropped off safely at Lucky Supermarket to shop in person, especially since Shan Nai had given a particularly captivating introduction to the members' lounge!

Points are nothing to a black market with a population of just over two thousand.

Although the group wasn't exactly flush with cash, the crystal cores they received from the ill-gotten gains were enough to buy their first batch of urgently needed supplies.

In return, the black market maintenance team also gave some crystal cores to Su Cheng and his companion.

Baili Yu looked at the package of crystal cores, smiled, and immediately accepted it.

Hehe, the senior citizen bus is here!
