Chapter 178 Arrival in Weining City

It was like groping in the dark. Although she couldn't see the road ahead, she felt at ease with Junjue by her side to guide her.

She entrusted herself to him, letting him be her eyes, and confidently followed him on his journey.

"Awooo... Awooo... Awooo!" The roars of the mutated animals in the distance were incessant.

Junjue held Wan'er's hand and carefully led her toward the dilapidated city, hoping to find a better temporary place to stay.

They teleported from one place to another until they arrived in the city center, where they found a large supermarket with a dilapidated roof but a decent-looking interior.

As they walked out the door, Junjue suddenly looked at the desolate land surrounding the abandoned supermarket and felt a surge of emotion.

The once bustling supermarkets and commercial centers are now a wasteland, which makes them feel the cruelty of the apocalypse even more.

Holding each other's hands, they silently moved forward. This world was no longer the one they knew, and they had to work even harder to survive in it.

Using his psychic abilities, he sensed the seventh and eighth floors of the building and discovered there were more than a dozen people inside. He then inquired:

"Wan'er, there's a big supermarket here that looks pretty good, but there are people inside. Should we go in?"

Upon hearing the words "big supermarket," Wan'er's eyes lit up instantly, and she excitedly exclaimed:

"There must be a lot of useful supplies in the big supermarket, right? It doesn't matter if there are other people there, we just won't go with them."

"Okay! Let's go inside and get something to eat on a quiet floor first."

"Um!"

Wan'er held Junjue's hand tightly as they walked into the supermarket under the collapsed rooftop.

More than half a year has passed since various natural disasters struck, and supplies are in severe shortage everywhere.

Despite having plenty of food, they still hoped to find some edible and usable supplies in this messy and dilapidated supermarket.

As soon as they entered, they saw a messy shelf. All the rice, flour, snacks, soft drinks, and other food had been taken away long ago, and what was left was all rotten and emitting a foul stench.

Junjue looked around the first floor and found only a mess of household appliances, covered in dust, as if time had stood still there.

"Wan'er, there's no food left, only household appliances and other goods. The second floor and above have usable clothing, the third floor has bedding, the fourth floor has children's clothing, the fifth floor has toys, and the rest are billiards, karaoke, and an ice rink."

Wan'er said in shock, "This is the first large supermarket we found in Weining City. I thought there would be some food, but I didn't expect it to be so miserable."

But with so many clothes, supplies, and appliances, we can't miss out.

The Duke remained silent for a while. He knew that the world had become extremely cruel, and the struggle for resources had caused people to lose their most basic humanity.

He sighed deeply, then said to Wan'er, "We need to eat something quickly and find something usable."

There seems to be something here that might come in handy; we'll have to search carefully.

"Hmm! There are people on this floor, so let's not eat anything too strong-flavored. Let's just have some steamed buns!"

"Okay!" Junjue took out two large steamed buns and handed them to Wan'er.

"I'll get more if it's not enough."

Wan'er took the steaming hot bun, took a big bite, and said indistinctly:

"That's enough, these two are quite full."

Seeing his girlfriend making do, Junjue took out two steaming hot meat buns and ate them with her.

The two quickly finished what they were eating, clapped their hands casually, and smiled at each other.

They started searching in large supermarkets, trying to find some useful household appliances.

Wan'er carefully held onto the items on the shelf, observing them closely.

Suddenly, she smiled, having spotted a sharp knife. "My lord, see? This knife was a lucky find."

The Duke smiled and continued his search.

They spent half a day wandering around the supermarket, eating everything they could find, and eventually found a lot of new, usable appliances: refrigerators, washing machines, cell phones, computers, batteries, kitchenware, pots and pans, and more. The expensive cigarettes and alcohol were long gone, leaving only broken bottles and used cigarette boxes, so it was still quite a haul.

They tidied up these things, put all the shelves on the first floor into their space, and then slowly walked up to the second floor!

"Wan'er, there are many brand-name clothes shops on the second floor, and quite a few cheap ones too. Should we buy them all?"

"Leave some for those who need them! Keep the rest." Suddenly remembering something, Wan'er lowered her head and said awkwardly.

"I wonder if they have disposable underwear here. I'd like to have more so I can use them in situations where it's inconvenient to shower."

"Ahem... there are a few women's lingerie stores up ahead, shall we go and see if we can find any?" Junjue replied somewhat awkwardly.

"Um!"

Wan'er followed Junjue over and, upon closer inspection, saw a somewhat messy lingerie store with few customers. Seeing disposable underwear inside, she exclaimed happily:

"Yes, there really is! The Duke has taken everything here. I wonder if there's a warehouse? I hope there is."

"There should be some! Let's go take a look!" The Duke waved his hand and took ten, keeping one.

After leaving some underwear behind, I put everything else away.

The two went to check the remaining stores, and one of them actually had a warehouse of about ten square meters, which was full of disposable underwear.

Wan'er excitedly told Junjue to put everything away, then left some clothes on the entire floor, and only went up to the third floor to collect the furniture and appliances after everything else was packed up.

When Junjue went up to the third floor, he saw that all the shops were filled with beds, sheets, pillows, and quilts. Some quilts were scattered on the floor, but the shelves were full of them.

There were still quite a few in the warehouse, so he kept some and put the rest into his spatial storage.

Wan'er touched the soft bed beside her and said softly with a smile:

"There are quite a few large beds here. Should we pack them up?"

"If Wan'er likes it, I'll take it!" Although Junjue's space has countless pieces of furniture, who would complain about having too much?

"Keep one for us to rest, and take the rest!" Wan'er said, stroking her chin.

"Alright!" In the blink of an eye, all twenty or thirty soft beds on the entire floor were removed, leaving only the one in front of them.

The fourth and fifth floors were all for children, and up there were entertainment facilities. There were people in the karaoke rooms on the seventh and eighth floors. Junjue didn't plan to take Wan'er up there, so he put the things from the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors into his spatial storage and then planned to go out to collect supplies.

"Wan'er, we've packed everything up. Let's go collect supplies elsewhere and come back here to rest tonight."
