Chapter 490 Another Passage

"Everyone is waiting for their families here, are you too?"

Little Tiger Tooth was probably feeling bored and didn't get along with the others, so now that he had someone of the same age, he started talking more.

Jing Yimai also held the box on his head and stood aside, grunting coldly.

Little Tiger Tooth glanced at him, touched his nose and didn't dare to say anything.

At this moment, a broadcast suddenly sounded overhead:

"The entire store will be refreshed after a five-second countdown. Customers, please do not put your hands on the shelves and pay attention to safety."

“5——”

Jing Yimai clearly felt that the people around him were becoming excited.

“4, 3——”

Countless hands reach out to the shelves, ready at all times.

“2, 1.”

As the last number fell, all the empty shelves were instantly filled, but the first second the goods appeared, the hands that were ready to go grabbed them.

"Mine! Mine!"

"Don't grab!"

“Leave one for me!!”

Such sounds spread to every corner.

And in the aisle behind them in the nursing area...

"Sisters, who hasn't gotten one yet? I can give you half a box!"

"I'm tall, so I can help you carry it. Is one box enough? Who doesn't have one yet?!"

Large boxes passed by like an assembly line, some going straight to the checkout counter, while others fell on the shoulders of men waiting outside.

Jing Yimai carried two large boxes on his shoulders, followed by black potatoes.

None of the women who have survived to this day are weak. Those who used to feel dizzy after getting up from the toilet have long been trained to the point where they can run while carrying large boxes.

The two of them had no time to buy anything else, so Jing Yimai prepared to take her to the checkout counter to queue up first.

Black Potato stopped him and said with his dark eyes, "Brother, we have a special cashier counter. Come with me."

She led the way and stopped at the entrance of another passage she had never noticed before.

She smiled sheepishly, "You can't go in, this is for girls only."

Jing Yimai didn't think there was anything special about a cash register, but Boss Xia must have her reasons for arranging it this way.

He put the box down. "Can you take it in?"

Three boxes are still quite heavy.

Black potatoes have their own way.

"I won't carry it. Push it in, then take a rest inside, drink some water and sit for a while. Brother Yimai, you've worked hard. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Jing Yimai seemed to have heard something strange, "You said, take a break?"

"Yes, the rest area inside provides hot water and hot packs, as well as clean restrooms. Sometimes I see young ladies who have nowhere else to go spending the night here. It's really nice anyway."

"That's impossible. Boss Xia won't let someone with no points on their card stay overnight here. At least I've never seen that." Jing Yimai shook his head.

Black Potato blinked. "I actually asked about this before. The only girls who weren't kicked out were those whose credits weren't enough to cover a night's accommodation. As for your suggestion of someone offering to take them in, no, I didn't say that."

"What about you just now?"

"The supermarket didn't kick them out, so they were able to stay overnight."

Jing Yimai once again looked at the inconspicuous entrance. Could it be a shield for boys? He had been back and forth so many times and had never noticed it. If she hadn't taken the initiative to bring him here, he might never have known.

"I'll go in first."

Black Potato pushed the stacked boxes into the passage. Jing Yimai kept watching him. Suddenly, his eyes blurred and the entrance to the passage disappeared, replaced by an ordinary wall.

His eyes widened, "Really."

What’s even more interesting is that the people in the supermarket are crowded like sardines in a can, but everyone will avoid this wall, just like people in the north will never step on a manhole cover, they just avoid it naturally.

Jing Yimai took one last look and prepared to grab the goods, actively avoiding the oncoming girl.

He had to ensure that Uncle Liu and the others did not go out, and that there was enough food in the house to last for three months.

However, the biscuit and bread shelves were completely empty, the instant noodle shelves were completely empty, the pickled cabbage had been sold out, and the rest of the dry goods shelves were left with only empty shelves. The vegetable stall had only a few leaves covered in fingerprints lying miserably, and the meat stall had not even a scrap of meat to be seen...

Even so, there is a long queue at each empty space, each person holding five or six plastic bags, just waiting for the next wave of refreshes and puts them on the shelves.

Jing Yimai silently pulled down a stack of plastic bags and lined up at the end of the line.

...

As soon as Xia Yan stepped out of the resort, he was shocked by the camouflage uniforms in front of him.

Aren't these all Chu Wanfu's men? What are they doing here?

It was not until she walked to the front desk that she saw Xiong Xiong, so happy that his teeth were not visible, and his little paws were pushing the card machine forward.

"Just stuff the crystal core in there~"

"I should still have points on my card, right? Should I top it up now?"

Xiong Xiong narrowed his eyes and said, "This time we're moving to a dangerous place. I don't think you want to check out halfway. What if the lease is not renewed and someone else takes it, then you'll have no choice but to risk leaving?"

"That's right, then let's do as you wish."

Four crystal cores were sent into the card processing machine, and Xiongxiong's mouth widened when he heard the sound of the crystal cores falling.

"Thank you for your patronage. Here is your room card. Since you are all staying together, I will try my best to arrange for you all to stay on the same floor."

Xia Yan understood that this was the person that Chu Wanfu took the opportunity to arrange to come in and leave with the hotel.

He's smart.

The elevator reached the first floor, and the customers inside pulled their suitcases to the front desk to check out. Seeing that the check-out people had already formed a line, Xia Yan quickly walked to the front desk and started working.

"Xia, Boss Xia?"

The customer didn't expect that the person who checked out was the boss, and he felt embarrassed for a moment.

He usually provides shelter and cheap food for everyone, but when the hotel is about to run into trouble, he is the first one to pack up and leave.

This uneasy feeling made them unable to raise their heads...

Xia Yan didn't ignore the embarrassment on their faces and explained considerately: "Don't feel burdened, you are helping me. Have you seen the latest notice?

I will raise the prices of all items after the move, so take this opportunity to go to the supermarket and buy what you need."

"What about takeout? Will the price also increase?" the customer asked anxiously.

"No, the price will remain the same, but the card recommendation function will be discontinued."

The second person leaned over and asked, "So everything in the supermarket will be very expensive in the future?"

Xia Yan thought for a moment, "If we buy in bulk, the price will remain the same, but if we sell in retail, the price will double."

The customers looked at each other and murmured quietly, "That means if General Chu buys it all, it will still be the original price. It doesn't seem to make any difference. General Chu won't raise the price to sell it to us anyway."

"That being said, there are so many people here, so I still have to go to the supermarket and buy some more things!"

Xia Yan completed the check-out procedures in the background and watched them rush into the resort.
