Xu Lin went to the household goods section and bought tissues, toilet paper, sanitary napkins, wet wipes, kitchenware, toiletries, garbage bags, etc., taking two of each. Of course, Xu Lin was only buying the sanitary napkins for herself.
801 went to the clothing section and picked up two sets each of men's and women's sportswear, down jackets, down pants, thermal underwear, cotton socks, snow boots, and cotton slippers, as well as two down comforters. The shopping cart was full.
After buying what they had agreed to buy, the two had five minutes left, so they hurriedly went to the restricted purchase area, grabbed the groceries, and headed straight for the cashier.
Seeing the division of labor between the two women, the others regretted not finding a partner to work with before they came in.
The supermarket had a generator and only one checkout window. They accepted both card and cash payments. The two of them sorted their items and paid separately.
The bag of grain that was subject to purchase restrictions cost 2,000 yuan; no wonder the first wave of people said it was robbery.
Other items didn't increase in price so drastically, but Xu Lin still spent 12,000 yuan. Luckily, she had collected tens of thousands of yuan in cash when she scavenged the underground parking lot of Xingfu Community beforehand, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xu Lin couldn't put the items into her spatial storage and had to carry them herself. 801, despite his aloof appearance, was quite gentlemanly and offered to help Xu Lin carry the heavier items. Xu Lin only needed to carry the clothes, which looked large but weren't heavy at all.
The assault boat parked outside was registered and kept by the special police based on their ID cards. The two men retrieved the assault boat and returned the way they came.
At the entrance of the residential compound, Xu Lin encountered a couple swiping on the door panel. She recognized them as residents of the same building, who were probably heading to Longhua Shopping Mall. Since they didn't know each other, they didn't greet each other.
Upon reaching the second-floor window, Xu Lin climbed in first, and 801 handed the items to Xu Lin one by one before climbing in again to retrieve the inflatable boat.
There was no elevator, so the two continued carrying their things up the stairs. When they reached the 6th floor, they saw the man surnamed Liu in apartment 602.
"You're back. Um, Xu Lin, can I borrow the inflatable boat?"
"Okay." Xu Lin took the inflatable boat out of her bag and handed it to him. "Don't forget what you promised me."
"My wife and I are going, and we can buy some things for our neighbors across the street while we're there, is that okay?"
"It's up to you, but you can only use it once for a round trip."
"Okay, I'll return it to you as soon as I get back."
Upon reaching the 8th floor, Xu Lin thanked 801 for helping her carry her things, and the two went home separately.
Xu Lin left home early in the morning and returned around 8 a.m. She practiced military boxing for two hours before making lunch.
For lunch, we had stir-fried pork with farm-style vegetables, stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers, and pork rib and winter melon soup. It's always good to cook extra food whenever possible, just in case.
Xu Lin took a nap in the afternoon, then got up at five o'clock to cook dinner: braised pork, fried ribbonfish, and broccoli with minced garlic. As usual, she made extra of each dish and stored them in her space in a lunchbox.
At seven o'clock, it was completely dark outside. Xu Lin looked out the window with night vision binoculars but couldn't see a single person. She changed her clothes, put on her raincoat, and prepared to leave.
The destination was the office building where Xu Lin worked—the Pan-Ocean Building.
Xu Lin has worked here for three years and knows the building inside like the back of her hand.
Go out of the second-floor fire escape window and you'll reach the Pan-Ocean Building in half an hour.
The Pan-Ocean Building has 24 floors in total, and about 20 floors are currently above water. Xu Lin walked around the office building first. Good, no one has visited yet. She reserved the first floor for herself.
Xu Lin used a window breaker to make a hole, slid in, and then retrieved the assault boat. First, she went to the top floor and proceeded to pamper herself from top to bottom.
The 24th and 23rd floors belong to an advertising company owned by a flamboyant rich second-generation who loves to enjoy the view, hence the company's location on the top floor.
