The space is always bathed in soft, daytime light.
I found a set of toiletries for myself in the bathroom, brushed my teeth, washed my face, and looked at the bear-printed ceramic toothbrush holder on the table. After thinking for a moment, I found a rabbit-printed toothbrush holder and placed it next to it.
After washing up, Lin Xuan applied some high-end face cream.
Her skin is amazing. She usually just applies some baby oil after washing her face and that's it. She's never used such a high-end product before and is quite curious about it.
This face oil, priced at over 600 yuan, smells wonderful, and after using it, I feel like I've reached a new level of beauty.
Lin Xuan found the large bucket of porridge in the self-service restaurant, took a bowl from under the counter, filled it with half a bowl of pumpkin porridge and a rechargeable bagel, and put it in the microwave in the kitchen to heat it up.
After finishing breakfast, she puts the dishes in the kitchen sink and then finds a dishwasher in the storage room to wash them together. She has never washed dishes much since she was a child; laziness is a habit, and it would be a bit difficult to change.
Once outside the space, it was pitch black. Oh no, I forgot to bring a powerful flashlight. I took out the flashlight that had been charging all night, turned it on, and went down to the first floor through the emergency exit, leaving the mall.
It was still dark outside, but under the flashlight's beam, I could spot the rows of shopping carts outside and quickly take them away.
The road was completely blocked by cars that were haphazardly parked, and several other vehicles had been involved in a chain collision not far away. Because the road was very congested in the morning, the collisions were not very serious.
Lin Xuan found the bus stop, looked at the sign to figure out the direction to go home, and rode her balance bike home along the traffic.
On both sides of the road, the tall buildings looked both strange and familiar under the bright flashlight beams. In the distance, several buildings or vehicles could be vaguely seen burning quietly, emitting thick smoke that was even blacker than the night sky, which then disappeared into the dark clouds that covered the city.
Lin Xuan was the only person in the entire city still conscious. She felt no fear or hesitation; her goal was clear: to collect supplies, wait for Xia Feng, and survive in the apocalypse.
Lin Xuan carefully avoided the vehicles on the road and slowly slid forward. If she saw a shop on the street, she would go in and collect some supplies.
In the convenience store, all the ice cream in the freezer has melted. We'll put it in the warehouse first, and then refreeze it by connecting it to the space power source later.
The rice balls, sandwiches, cakes, bread, and boxed lunches in the refrigerator all looked okay, so I took them all to avoid waste.
It's a shame that the oden, steamed buns, and chicken cutlets sold near the counter have already started to smell bad.
Lin Xuan confiscated the remaining instant noodles, chocolates, candies, biscuits, and other items that could be stored for a long time.
Pharmacies keep half of their medicines and keep the other half, and hardware stores do the same.
The small shops outside are good places for survivors to take refuge, unlike the large warehouse area where there is a lot of people. These small shops on the street are less likely to be surrounded by zombies later.
Although she was tricked and died tragically by Zhang Xiaoqi in her previous life, she didn't seem to have become a cold-blooded person. She thought to herself, "If you have enough resources, you should leave others a way to survive."
Small shops such as milk tea shops, cake shops, rice noodle shops, ramen shops, snack shops, and fresh food supermarkets only take away goods that are not easy to preserve.
While packing and walking, the distance would only take fifteen minutes by bus, but Lin Xuan rode her balance bike for more than two hours.
I checked the time; it was 6:50 a.m. The sky was already beginning to lighten, but the entire city was still shrouded in a gray, overcast sky.
Every day in the future apocalypse will be like this, with gloomy skies, and it has never been sunny until Lin Xuan died in her previous life.
Lin Xuan felt a long-lost sense of familiarity with her surroundings; she saw the gas station near her home.
After passing the gas station and turning the corner, you'll reach her residential area. She got off the balance bike, stretched her numb legs, and looked up to see a tanker truck parked in front of the gas station.
Wow, what a stroke of luck!
I jogged over to check if anyone was in the car, and luckily, there was no one in the driver's seat.
The car door was unlocked and open. A middle-aged man in overalls was lying not far away, holding a car key in his hand, which was very likely the key to this car.
Pick up the key, climb to the driver's seat of the tanker truck, and insert the key into the keyhole under the steering wheel. If it goes in, it must be the key to this truck.
When she reached for the brake pedal, she discovered there were three pedals underneath. Uh, it's a manual transmission; her C2 license plate doesn't deserve it.
They jumped out of the vehicle and took the entire tanker truck away.
She didn't know how to pump the oil out of the tanker truck either, but she figured it probably required a car key. She'd have her brother figure it out later.
Her brother is smart and can do everything. She got into university thanks to his tutoring. It's a pity he dropped out of school after junior high, otherwise he could have easily gone on to get a doctorate.
His aunt's family is absolutely despicable, damn it! I hope they all turn into zombies and die.
With such a large truckload of fuel, driving to City A shouldn't be a problem.
There's an SUV parked in the underground garage at home; they drove this car to City A in their previous life.
Although this car wasn't particularly expensive, it was remarkably durable. Despite bumping and jostling along the way, it arrived in City A without breaking down.
I quickened my pace toward home, and suddenly a feeling of longing to return home welled up within me.
The gate of the community is always open. Lin Xuan recognized the person lying at the gate as the community's security guard. This woman has a cheerful personality and greets every resident who comes in or out.
After the apocalypse broke out, Lin Xuan never saw her again, not knowing whether she had turned into a zombie or successfully escaped.
They dragged the older woman to the security room and locked the door, hoping she could get through the initial chaotic period. Lin Xuan's building was the third building from the main gate, and almost all the people lying downstairs were elderly people, children, and mothers.
This area is located in a semi-urban area, and the neighborhood where Lin Xuan lives consists of newly developed residential buildings that have only been in operation for the past few years.
Because of its remote location, the housing prices in this area are relatively cheap, and many newlywed couples and elderly people buying houses here have resulted in a large number of babies born in the past few years in the community.
Lin Xuan lived on the twentieth floor, and she practically climbed up on her hands and feet. The door lock was fingerprint-enabled, so she opened the door, knelt down, collapsed, and lay there like a corpse—all in one smooth motion.
Panting heavily, almost thinking she had mutated into a zombie, Lin Xuan swallowed hard, got up from the ground, kicked off her white platform shoes, and stepped barefoot onto the beige solid wood floor of her home.
Dark blue blackout curtains, beige fabric sofa, LCD TV mounted on the wall, Scandinavian-style square dining table...
It's been so long since I've felt the home I remember.
