My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

"Sigh." Gu Xixi sighed, "Your Majesty the Mermaid King, even if you don't exchange the gems, I'm willing to attend your gathering. However, I might not be available for the next three months as I have to travel far away. If I have time, I definitely will go, okay? I won't accept your gems; can I bring a few more friends with me?"

Gu Xixi smiled sincerely, and the Mermaid King was taken aback. It was as if a human would ask for no reward.

"Alright, I hope you have some free time." The Mermaid King's tone was both pleading and arrogant. "You can take this gem, I'll exchange it for something else I want."

Gu Xixi was both amused and exasperated by his tone. "What do you want?"

“My people say they’re tired of looking at the sun and now they want a moon,” the Mermaid King said matter-of-factly.

Everyone: ...Next time, we'll ask for stars, right?

How about we have the people at the research institute create all eight planets this time?

"Alright, let's give it a try." Gu Xixi didn't make her statement too absolute, but the Mermaid King left satisfied, leaving behind the gem.

Professor Wei handed the gemstone to Gu Xixi, saying, "Keep it safe for now. We'll ask you for it to study after the exchange is successful."

Gu Xixi took it and handed it to Chu Feng. "I don't know how to preserve this. Professor Wei, please tell Chu Feng, and he will make the arrangements."

After finishing her work this morning, Gu Xixi went straight back to the villa to say goodbye to her parents. When she returned to the supermarket after lunch, the team of forty people had already assembled.

Besides the 30 people in the squads led by Ran Qing, Zhao Jing, Chu Feng, and Tong Yue, making a total of 34 people, the remaining 6 people should be several officers recommended by Regiment Commander Mao De.

Their uniforms were clearly different from Tong Yue's, and they formed a separate line next to them.

Gu Xixi met with both sides and introduced herself once before speaking, "I didn't care whose soldiers you were before, but now that you're going to another world, I'm your leader. For a period of time, your two teams will be one team. Please familiarize yourselves with each other's teams as soon as possible before you travel to the other world to facilitate cooperation later."

"Join the team!"

"Received." Dozens of soldiers answered in unison. Then the captains of the two squads began to negotiate, then joined forces, got to know each other, and started a friendly get-together activity on the spot.

After an hour of getting acquainted and confirming that everyone knew each other, the group changed into special clothes and then lined up again to stand together.

[Time travel countdown: one minute. Please prepare, host.] The system notification appeared. Gu Xixi glanced at the remote control button on her special clothing and hummed in response.

Because the temperature of that post-apocalyptic world was uncertain, and there was a fear of encountering unpredictable situations, the higher-ups prepared a set of clothes like this for everyone.

It can adjust the temperature according to the situation, so that the body temperature can be kept at a comfortable state whether it is minus 30 degrees or 50 degrees, which is a life-saving device in extreme conditions.

Gu Xixi made a gesture, and everyone quieted down and lined up, waiting to cross over.

[The Multiverse Trading System reminds you that the transmigration process, which allows you to trade with supermarkets, is now open. Transmigration countdown: 9, 8, 7... 1, 0. Transmigration begins.]

As the system voice finished speaking, Gu Xixi counted on her fingers, then retracted all her fingers into a fist. The familiar group closed their eyes, waiting for the sound to rush past their ears.

A moment later, Gu Xixi opened her eyes. They were standing in the courtyard of the replica of the Fa Da Cai Supermarket. The surroundings were all white, and the freezing cold air penetrated their bodies.

Everyone started adjusting the temperature of their clothes, but without orders, no one moved an inch.

Gu Xixi walked ahead, "Everyone, please go into the supermarket."

[Brother Tongzi, the supermarket's heating is set to 28 degrees Celsius.]

[Okay, the supermarket's temperature has been adjusted to 28 degrees Celsius. The delivery and pickup machines, smart checkouts, and vending machines have been installed.]

[The area within 50 meters of the supermarket is a zombie world and an absolutely safe zone for the host. Within this zone, all staff are also protected by the system. The original buildings in this post-apocalyptic world are also safe, but this safety is only valid for the host's time in this point in the world; they can be used as temporary shelters.]

[Due to the increase in temporary staff at the supermarket and the extended period of the apocalypse, the supermarket has been expanded with a five-story building in its backyard, providing forty dormitories for the host's use. The dormitories are now fully furnished.]

[Friendly reminder: Finding the chosen one of this world will allow you to complete the mission more quickly. According to system detection, the chosen one of this world is currently named Shang Yu.]

Gu Xixi: !!!

It's amazing that there's a system in the world that thinks so much about its host.

[You don't need to say the compliments aloud; I understand. I know you love me.] The system voice sounded slightly smug and proud before disappearing.

Gu Xixi was both amused and exasperated. The longer she spent with Tongzi, the more abstract he became.

Gu Xixi walked to the backyard of the supermarket and looked back. About thirty meters away, there were two buildings that looked like underwear.

The building was about forty stories high, very tall, and probably used to be the city's CBD. To help the survivors of this world build shelters and find a way to survive, they would inevitably need to rescue survivors and gather the remaining survivors.

This is indeed a good place to use as a temporary shelter.

These tasks were assigned to the team members; her job, now, was to find the chosen one, Shang Yu.

She snapped out of her daze. Everyone was still lined up in the supermarket. Gu Xixi walked back and said, "The backyard is the dormitory, one room for each person. Go back and tidy up your belongings and wait for your mission."

After everyone entered the dormitory, Gu Xixi walked to the front door and found that there was a fenced yard in front of her, which marked out a safe area, but it didn't seem to offer much protection.

Bang bang bang!

Three gunshots rang out. Gu Xixi looked to her right and saw five people running in the snow less than three meters away, running on foot, with more than a dozen zombies chasing after them.

The zombies were even more terrifying than those she had seen in movies and TV shows. Combined with the smell, Gu Xixi almost vomited, and her scalp tingled.

The five people were three men and two women, and they were all very young.

The man in the lead saw a house suddenly appear ahead, and a girl dressed exactly as she had been before the disaster was looking around with innocent eyes. He cursed and shouted at Gu Xixi.

"Why don't you hide more? The zombies have evolved to the point where they can pick locks, you idiot."

Gu Xixi: ...

It's really something when someone comes out of nowhere and hurls insults at you.

She waved to them, "Run into the yard, you'll be safe once you're inside."

The man: ...

He turned out to be mentally ill.

But one of the shorter boys in the group couldn't hold on any longer, and the leader, fearing that Gu Xixi would be eaten by zombies, simply led everyone into the supermarket.
