Seeing this, Xu Anran asked the clerk to hand over the convenience store keys. Although the clerk was slightly unwilling and hesitated for a moment, when he looked around and realized that he was outnumbered and could not stand up to so many people, he finally chose to obediently hand over the keys.

After receiving the key, they first looked through the store's contents: bread, sandwiches, instant noodles, fried skewers, oden, various drinks, ice cream, and other food items, as well as daily necessities. The stock was quite substantial, enough to sustain their needs for a considerable period of time.

Faced with these supplies, Xu Anran decisively said, "Let's not touch anything in the store for now. Let's go back and discuss it with the others first, and then come back to collect them after we've finalized the distribution plan." Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Xu Anran locked the convenience store door and then led the group, including the clerk, back home.

Upon returning, I immediately saw that the people who had fainted earlier had woken up, their restraints removed, and they were scattered around sitting in various places.

Judging from the situation, Xu Liang and the others must have already explained the whole story to them. Seeing them return, Xu Liang quickly stepped forward and said to Xu Anran, "You're back! These people just woke up, and I've already explained the situation to them. How are things on your end?"

Xu Anran responded, "The convenience store in the back has plenty of supplies, enough to last us for quite some time. The key is here; let's discuss how to allocate these resources first." With that, she walked straight towards the group, holding the convenience store key in her hand, and continued, "The convenience store has a good amount of supplies; it should be enough for us for a while. In my opinion, we can use these supplies to hold out for a while and wait for the rescue team to arrive."

Before the words were even finished, someone in the crowd asked, "So how exactly should it be distributed?" As soon as this question was asked, everyone turned their attention to Xu Anran.

Xu Anran continued, "The convenience store has plenty of backpacks of the same size! Each of us can choose a backpack and fill it with the items we need. But remember, make sure to fill the backpack completely, and make sure it's enough to last you a week. From now on, the convenience store will only be opened once a week to replenish the supplies."

Everyone listened to Xu Anran's proposal and found it quite reasonable and fair. But just then, a discordant voice suddenly rang out: "Hmph! This convenience store doesn't belong to you personally. Does that mean we have to use it this way? Why should we follow your arrangements?"

Xu Anran abruptly turned her head, her gaze falling directly on the person who was speaking. This person was none other than the blond-haired man who had just woken up. He had an undisguised sneer on his face, and his eyes were staring at Xu Anran with a provocative look.

Xu Anran's lips parted slightly, about to respond, but Fan Yunfei spoke first: "Of course you have the right to object, but it's not up to you to decide alone. How about this, we can make a decision by voting, after all, the minority must obey the majority."

Hearing this, the blond-haired man's face was full of resentment and unwillingness, muttering, "Why should I listen to you guys!"

Faced with Huang Mao's questioning, Fan Yunfei immediately retorted: "What else? Do you have a better way?"

Seeing that Huang Mao remained silent, seemingly unable to think of a solution for the moment, Fan Yunfei added, "In that case, let's proceed according to the proposal. Anyone who agrees with the plan to pick up supplies from the convenience store once a week, please raise your hand; if you disagree, there's no need to raise your hand."

Before Fan Yunfei could finish speaking, Xiao Feng eagerly raised his right hand. Then, Xu Liang, Xu Anran, Fan Yunfei himself, and the people who had just returned from the convenience store all raised their hands.

Even those who had just regained consciousness raised their hands upon seeing the scene before them. In the blink of an eye, of everyone present, only the blond-haired man stood alone, motionless like a piece of wood.

Xu Anran then said, "Then let's proceed with the plan we just mentioned. But what are everyone's thoughts on how to handle and arrange this key?"

The group exchanged glances, and for a moment, no one spoke. After a brief silence, a girl with short, neat hair finally spoke up, suggesting, "Why don't we give this key to the convenience store clerk? After all, we originally got it from him, and it's only fair to return it to its rightful owner. It would also be more appropriate for him to keep it safe."

However, before she could finish speaking, someone immediately stood up to object: "But what if he takes advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention and uses the key to open the store door to steal supplies?" Faced with the question, the short-haired girl calmly replied: "That's not difficult to solve. We just need someone to keep watch near the convenience store."

At this point, the librarian chimed in, "Then why don't we create a duty roster and have two people take turns standing guard in front of the convenience store each day?" Seeing that everyone had no objections, Xu Anran nodded and said, "Then it's settled." After saying that, she handed the keys back to the clerk, then turned to the librarian and continued to ask, "So how exactly should we arrange it?"

The administrator looked at Xu Anran, understanding that she meant he was to take full responsibility for this matter, and said, "Let's first do a detailed count of the number of people here. From now on, two people will be assigned to guard the convenience store every day. As for the specific list of duty personnel, I will post it at the entrance of the convenience store after I get back. Today, Xiao Wang and I will guard the store together." This Xiao Wang was the convenience store clerk. Since the two of them often met at the library, they could be considered nodding acquaintances.

Seeing that everyone agreed with the arrangement, the administrator breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out paper and pen from his pocket to carefully write down everyone's names one by one.

Afterwards, everyone moved to the convenience store to collect the supplies they needed. Each person first chose a suitable backpack, and then eagerly began to fill it with various items that they thought might come in handy.

Everyone moved nimbly and swiftly, as if afraid that the slightest hesitation would cause them to miss the opportunity and receive less. In no time, each schoolbag was bulging and full.
