This is a large, two-story supermarket with a wide variety of food and daily necessities.
The food was basically not spoiled, it was just covered with a layer of frost.
There are no problems with daily necessities.
Ye Ning took two-thirds without hesitation, leaving the remaining one-third for the nearby survivors!
Anyway, she already had enough supplies in her space, so giving the survivors some hope wasn't a bad idea.
She wasn't a saint; all her principles were for the sake of her and Jing Chen's comfort in the apocalypse.
However, in the absence of a conflict of interest, she did not want to deprive others of their hope of survival.
Compared to daily necessities, Ye Ning's biggest shortage right now is gasoline and diesel.
After all, generators, snowplows, and snowmobiles all require diesel fuel.
Before the end of the world, due to limited access, they were unable to purchase large quantities of gasoline and diesel.
And there just happened to be an oil depot nearby.
"The oil depot is about five kilometers away from here," Xiao Jingchen said, pointing to a small dot on the map.
"Uncle Yun, go and find out the situation first. If no one has occupied it, we'll set off this afternoon."
In the blink of an eye, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen had been at the warehouse for three days. During these three days, Ye Ning purchased 20 supermarkets and more than a dozen factories for free, and the various supplies she collected filled more than 30 warehouses.
"Yes, young master!" Uncle Yun nodded and immediately began to take action.
That afternoon, Xiao Jingchen received a call from Uncle Yun.
"Young Master, I've found this place! But it's guarded, and they want some supplies in exchange. Young Master, what do you think? Should we just give in and get rid of them, or..."
"What do they want? How many people do they want?"
"There were two people in total, an old man with his seven-year-old grandson! They wanted to exchange for some food."
Xiao Jingchen hesitated for a moment, then said, "If they don't ask for too much, then let's satisfy them!"
Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen arrived at the oil depot on snowmobiles.
Uncle Yun, having received the news, was already waiting at the door.
Although the area is covered in ice and snow, the outlines of the towering oil tanks are still visible.
"Young Master, Miss Ye, you've arrived!"
"Uncle Yun, where are they?" Xiao Jingchen parked his snowmobile at the entrance of the oil depot.
"They're in the guardhouse!" Uncle Yun knocked on the guardhouse window.
"Our young master is here, please come out!"
The door to the guardhouse was cracked open from the inside and slowly opened. A gaunt old man poked his head out, his eyes wary. Behind him was a similarly gaunt little boy. The two looked five or six parts alike, and it was obvious that they were related by blood.
"You can go in, but you must exchange food for it." The old man sized up Xiao Jingchen and Ye Ning for a while, and seeing that the man and woman in front of him had extraordinary bearing, he finally spoke up and revealed his purpose.
"Sure, how many do you want?"
"Three boxes, no! Four boxes of instant noodles! Plus 200 jin of rice!" The old man said, while observing Xiao Jingchen's expression, afraid that his request would anger the other party.
He used to be a security guard here, but after his son and daughter-in-law passed away unexpectedly, he lived here alone with his grandson.
When the apocalypse came, it was during a holiday, so most of the workers at the oil depot left.
After witnessing the brutal fighting among the remaining workers, he and his grandson were fortunate enough to survive to the end.
He wouldn't have risked going out to trade supplies if it weren't for the fact that his food supply was running out.
"Sure!" Xiao Jingchen agreed without hesitation.
Ye Ning walked to a secluded wall and took out four boxes of instant noodles and two bags of rice directly from her spatial storage.
She has thousands of boxes of instant noodles in her online space, so four packs of instant noodles are really nothing.
When the old man saw that the other party had given him four boxes of instant noodles without hesitation, he regretted not asking for more.
However, since the agreement had already been reached, he couldn't go back on his word. Besides, under these circumstances, four boxes of instant noodles were already quite a lot, and guarding these oil cans wouldn't allow anyone to have enough to eat.
The old man hesitated for a moment, then unlocked the door.
Xiao Jingchen released his grip on the gun, his hand still secretly holding it. If the old man had dared to play any tricks, he would have been absolutely ruthless.
After receiving the instant noodles, the old man carefully placed them in the guardhouse and locked them up. Then he led Xiao Jingchen and the others toward the tanker truck.
"This is tank number 1, it's full of gasoline, and it was just filled up a while ago."
"This is can number 2, and it's only half full now."
…
The old man kept his promise and introduced each item one by one, as if they were his own treasures.
"Master Li, how many years have you been here?" Ye Ning asked tentatively.
"It's been over ten years. I've been working here since I was fifty. My son used to work here too, but alas, he later..." Although they had only just met, based on his many years of experience, he knew that these people in front of him were not bad people.
When talking about the past, the old man began to let his guard down.
"Now it's just the two of us, grandfather and grandson, left to depend on each other for survival!"
So she was a person with a tragic fate.
They are old and young, it's probably not easy for them to survive in this apocalypse!
"So what are your plans for the future?" Although this place is remote, it has so many fuel resources. If someone with ulterior motives were to come looking for them, this grandfather and grandson would inevitably meet a violent end.
“A few days ago, I received a phone call in the factory manager’s office. It seemed that the ice hadn’t frozen over in H country, and they were going to send immigrants from A city there. The designated rescue point was only one kilometer away from here. It’s just a pity that the rescue team won’t arrive for another month.”
“I’m an old man, but my child is still young. I can’t let him live in such a terrible environment forever! Even if it costs me my old bones, I will make sure that Xiao Ju goes to H country to live a good life.”
H country?
Because it's near the equator, the temperature here is indeed much higher. Even when the whole world is frozen, the temperature there remains around 0 degrees Celsius.
After the rescue team appeared in the previous life, the number of rescue slots was extremely limited. Back then, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen tried their best but still couldn't get in.
Moreover, the living environment in H country is not as optimistic as people imagine. Although the temperature there is much higher, crops can be grown.
However, due to the influx of powerful figures from various countries, almost all the land was occupied by these powerful figures, leading to extremely fierce internal strife.
However, this was Old Man Li's own business, and Ye Ning was naturally not foolish enough to shatter his illusions. Moreover, everyone has their own destiny, and she shouldn't disturb other people's karma.
"Oh, that's great! That's wonderful!" Ye Ning said politely with a laugh.
After confirming that Old Man Li had left, Ye Ning used the oil container she had prepared beforehand to divide all the oil into smaller oil containers.
This trip to the oil depot has finally come to a successful conclusion.
