They rushed in like a whirlwind, pulled Gu Xixi back, and tried to move the wooden table from the cashier's counter to block the doorway. But as they turned around, they discovered that the zombies outside the supermarket had stopped right at the entrance of the supermarket courtyard and were turning to leave.

Ran Qing and Chu Feng had already drawn their guns, but seeing that the others meant no harm, they withdrew them and stood aside watching.

Although the group was surprised, they were also clearly exhausted. Three of them collapsed and fainted. Of the remaining two, a tall girl was still tightly holding Gu Xixi's wrist, while the leader was observing the zombies.

After confirming that the zombies were no longer coming, he suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Xixi, "Susu, come here quickly."

Looking back now, the appearance of this house and this girl was really too strange. Even the zombies didn't dare to approach. In this post-apocalyptic world, he only knew that the Zombie King could do that!

Could this girl be...?

His expression changed, and the girl who was holding Gu Xixi's wrist jumped to the man's side like a startled rabbit, raising her large knife at Gu Xixi. "What are you?"

"Where is this? Why is there still electricity? And so many goods..." The man was more and more surprised as he looked inside the supermarket. When he saw the food on the shelves, he couldn't help but swallow.

Gu Xixi stood there and said, “If nothing unexpected happens, I should be the same as you. I am also a human, but I have some special abilities, such as running a supermarket.”

Everyone:...

"Hello, I am Gu Xixi, a trader from multiple worlds... My purpose in coming here is to help the survivors of this world survive, establish permanent shelters, and ensure the continuation of human life... Therefore, my supermarket has a safe zone, you can..."

After the usual self-introduction, the two men still couldn't quite believe it and looked at Ran Qing and Chu Feng with even more vigilance. These two were clearly from military backgrounds... and were not ordinary.

Gu Xixi ignored them, like a frightened cat; the more she paid attention, the less satisfactory their reactions became.

"All the goods in the supermarket can be exchanged for zombie crystals. If you need them, you can make a purchase on the smart exchange machine. Those two are supermarket staff members. You can ask them if you have any questions."

Gu Xixi was about to burst from the strange, mixed smells emanating from the group, especially the stench of decay...

【Brother Tongzi, please save me! Love you!】 It would be so impolite for her to cover her nose.

[Indoor cleaning mode activated] The system's voice was gentle, with a hint of a smile, as if it had been waiting for Gu Xixi to say this for a long time.

The next second, all five people present, including those who had collapsed and fainted, were no longer smelly, even though they still looked dirty.

The man in the lead was startled, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets in shock. "You're a superhuman?"

"I guess so. Didn't you guys awaken any superpowers?" Gu Xixi asked back. Logically speaking, everyone should have awakened their superpowers by now, right? That's what they say in novels.

The man's smile was sarcastic, and I felt like my heart had been pierced. "No human has awakened any superpowers yet, didn't you know? Otherwise, we wouldn't be struggling to survive. Even the three major bases aren't exactly safe havens; they're just places where survivors are concentrated."

So tragic... Gu Xixi was shocked. No wonder the system sent her to help build the shelter.

“You might be the first superhuman to awaken in this world…” the woman murmured to herself, then actually smiled. “It’s good that someone has awakened. If someone awakens, it means that others might also awaken, which means that we still have hope.”

[Brother Tongzi, will the humans in this world awaken superpowers later on? When will that happen?]

Yes, some people may have begun to awaken since you came into this world, but the exact time is uncertain.

Why does it start as soon as I appear?

You are a variable in this world; since you are changing, you will alter the existing status quo.

So that's how it is; she was a variable they deliberately introduced...

"What's your special ability? Cleaning magic or conjuring food out of thin air?" The leader keenly sensed something was wrong. "My name is Shang Yu, and I'm just an ordinary person."

Shang Yu! ! !

It came so easily! Gu Xixi's eyes lit up. "Cleaning technique? The supermarket is because I'm a multi-dimensional trader. Did you forget what I just said? You really are Shang Yu, Shang as in merchant and Yu as in depression?"

[Brother Tongzi, is he the chosen one?]

【Yes. 】

[Brother, you'll always be my brother. Your timing was impeccable; you sent me straight to the Chosen One's side.]

【Um. 】

Shang Yu was confused. He didn't recognize this strange superhuman at all, but the other person seemed to know him. "You know me?"

Gu Xixi shook her head immediately, "I don't know him. Tell me more about the current situation, and I'll treat you to a meal as payment. This will also make you believe that I'm really just a businessman selling goods, and that the goods are genuine."

"Can we eat first?" Shang Yu looked at the shelves, itching to make a move. These people were so capable, if they really wanted to do something, they would have died when they came in, instead of talking to him until now.

They were starving; they would die anyway if they didn't eat, so they might as well die full.

Gu Xixi nodded in agreement, and Ran Qing and Chu Feng went over to get self-heating rice to cook for them, and also brought some bread and mineral water to place in front of them.

Shang Yu woke everyone up and said only one word, "Eat."

The others who were with him opened their eyes and started eating, their faces showing great satisfaction. But they were wolfing down their food, so Shang Yu slapped them again, saying, "Eat slowly, or you'll choke."

Gu Xixi: This is an honest leader.

Gu Xixi patiently waited for them to finish their bread and then their rice. After they were completely full, she gestured for Chu Feng to hand them some fruit, which they took but were reluctant to eat.

Shang Yu wiped his mouth before answering Gu Xixi's earlier question, "The plague broke out 8 years ago, and the zombies appeared 7 years ago. In addition to the zombies, the weather is becoming more and more extreme, so in addition to fighting zombies, humans also have to deal with the harsh natural environment."

“The government once established four major security bases, but due to a series of reasons, all of them were destroyed in internal strife five years ago. After three years of reconstruction, the three major bases of Dongfeng, Nanshui, and Beiying have been established today.”

However, the leaders of the three bases dislike each other, their communication is not harmonious, and in addition, no one has awakened any superpowers, while resources are being depleted, making everyone's life increasingly difficult.

Especially vulnerable groups like the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled in the bases. Every day, trucks are used to haul away the corpses of those who starved to death. Many people have started eating the corpses and living people to survive. So the three major bases are not safe, or even more so.
