Chapter 51 Small Supermarket
Among the six people, Jiang Miao's ability is to control gravity. She is also the only one who can control gravity among the remaining 43 people in the village.
But he was not in the team that went out last time.
Several people walked to the village entrance again. This time, because of Jiang Miao's supernatural power, the snow they passed by was squeezed by his supernatural power.
The fluffy snow on the roadside was all compacted so tightly that it made a crackling sound when you walked on it.
However, the new road opened by Jiang Miao was only two palms wide, which was just the right width for people to walk. In this way, Jiang Miao could also reduce some of the pressure of supernatural power output.
This time, since the movement of several people depended on Jiang Miao's special ability to clear the way, Jiang Miao walked in front among the six people.
The second is her brother Jiang Shang.
In the middle are Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo.
Finally, there are Chen Ru and Xie Lei.
The six of them walked and stopped along the way.
It took about a whole morning to reach the exit of the straight road leading to the county town.
The exit is the market of another small town.
Most of the buildings here are built around the road. There is also a junior high school nearby. Children from several surrounding villages basically come here to school every day.
So this is a relatively densely populated area, which means there may be quite a few mutant beasts.
Therefore, Jiang Rong and his companions did not dare to be careless and all observed their surroundings carefully.
"This place is big, let's first look for some transportation like big trucks. If there are, it will be much more convenient for us to go to the county town this time." Chen Ru suggested as they just entered the main road of the town.
The others basically agreed with Chen Ru's proposal.
There is only one road leading to the county town, with uneven fields on both sides. It takes at least two or three hours to get to the county town at the normal walking speed.
Now it was already around 1pm. If they chose to walk, it was hard to say whether they could reach the destination before dark. And this was without considering the presence of mutant beasts. In general, it was much more convenient to find a big car that could be driven.
The few of them still maintained their previous formation and moved forward cautiously. Not long after, they saw a large white truck parked on the side of the road not far away, with the doors of the car still open.
Jiang Miao, who was walking in front, saw it first and pointed towards that direction excitedly.
The eyes of the others were also full of anticipation. If there were keys in the car, then their trip would be worth it.
The main reason is that there is no such large truck in Qingshan Village, not even one, and it is difficult to drive a car in the snow that is higher than the tires, so this time I can only walk...
Jiang Rong was following Jiang Shang at this time, but her eyes were now on the ground around her.
There was only a thin layer of snow, and there were almost no human footprints or mutant beasts around.
This means that the road had been cleared before, but no one nearby came out today.
Jiang Rong frowned and looked around.
"Wait." She said aloud.
At this time, the other people looked at her inquiringly, with vigilance in their eyes.
"Something is wrong here. Let's find a place to rest first. The car is right there. There's no need to rush."
"What's wrong? What do you feel?" Xie Lei was very cautious about danger and asked immediately, and even his excitement of seeing the car was reduced a lot.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rong told the truth about what he saw.
If the snow nearby had been cleared in the morning or the day before, why was there no footprint around except for them?
Jiang Rong could only assume that the people here had encountered something unexpected and were afraid to go out for the time being.
What are people afraid of at a time like this?
Jiang Rong felt that there was no other answer except mutant beasts.
"I agree." Chen Ru glanced at the half-finger-thick snow on the ground and looked around. Indeed, there were only their footprints on the entire road.
"I agree too." Zhao Runguo was naturally with Jiang Rong.
Xie Lei hesitated for a while and nodded.
Jiang Miao and Jiang Shang, brother and sister, glanced at the big truck not far away, but finally looked away.
"There's a small supermarket over there, let's go and take a look." Jiang Rong pointed to a small supermarket diagonally opposite, but one of the windows of that supermarket had been shattered and scattered all over the floor.
The shelves of goods inside were now all over the place, and it was obvious that the small supermarket had been ransacked once.
Afterwards, several people quickly entered the supermarket through the gap.
At this time, because of the experience of sorting supplies in the village in the previous few days, everyone was particularly wary of empty houses. No one needed to remind them. Everyone was in a state of tension, and the six of them walked back to back.
After walking around the supermarket for a while, the few people did not find any trace of mutant beasts, and their tense bodies relaxed.
The six people dispersed at this time.
Jiang Shang and Jiang Miao, Chen Ru and Xie Lei were all picking out things they could use from the shelves.
Of course, they are all miscellaneous items, such as knives and forks, steel wool for washing dishes and the like.
And these things are also scattered in a mess on the shelves or on the ground.
It looked more like it had been accidentally dropped or landed on the ground during a snatch.
Besides, there was nothing edible. There was only a bag of salt on the ground that had been torn and scattered all over the floor, with only half of the bag left in the bag.
As for the others, they had probably been looted by the indigenous people here long ago.
Jiang Rong's eyes fell on the half bag of salt lying alone on the ground. He looked at it silently for a while, and watched the other people passing by several times, and they didn't seem to have any intention of putting it away.
So he walked over, picked up the half bag of salt on the ground, and put it in his backpack.
Before coming out, she specially sorted out the supplies in the space, and also cleared out another room in the basement of her house to store the supplies.
However, the room had been locked by her with a big lock, and no one else in the house had the key and didn't know what was in the room.
Anyway, after she tinkered with it, the space that was almost full became much emptier.
Add to that the space she, Uncle Zhao, and the four extra gem spaces, and they can also hold some things.
She had come out with great difficulty, and she didn't plan to return empty-handed.
But the main reason is that the little dwarf snake is still sleeping, otherwise we can use its space directly.
Considering the short snake's characteristic of falling asleep from time to time, Jiang Rong now felt that he should not rely too much on its space, and he still had to find a way to help Lingyu upgrade as soon as possible.
Cover is cover, but it is more practical to use your own space.
"Master, the little snake is awake."
Just as Jiang Rong was thinking about this, Lingyu's voice rang in his mind.
Jiang Rong felt much more relaxed upon hearing this, thinking that this little snake woke up just in time.
I just don’t know whether it was Qin Sang himself or his guardian spirit who woke up this time.
Then Jiang Rong thought about it, and the short snake appeared in the right pocket of her clothes.
Jiang Rong then shifted his attention to the staircase on one side of the supermarket.
The location is quite hidden.
The stairs point downwards, and appear to be somewhere like a basement.
At this time, the other four were still picking and choosing on the shelves.
Jiang Rong took a look and walked down with Zhao Runguo.
The entire country had lost power at this time, so even if Jiang Rong saw the sensor light on the wall, it would be useless.
Jiang Rong took out a high-power flashlight from the space and shone it on the two people as they walked down.
After a while, the two of them reached the basement floor.
The space on the basement level is about the same size as the space upstairs, but they are not connected and are divided into six compartments.
The doors of five of the compartments had been pried open. Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo walked around inside and found that they were basically empty, with almost all the things inside gone.
Jiang Rong was not surprised by this.
It has been at least a month since the natural disaster, and people nearby live so close to here, it would be strange that all the inventory can still be here intact.
Jiang Rong now focused his attention on the last compartment.
The door was not pried open, but there was a large dent on the iron door, as if someone had kicked it with brute force, and the door handle was also a little crooked.
There were a lot of bloodstains on the door and on the cement floor where there were no tiles.
It looks like someone died here before.
When Jiang Rong saw the bloodstains, his attitude became much more serious than before. However, they had checked five of the six rooms and found them to be basically empty.
This is the last one.
There shouldn't be any danger.
She looked at the last door that was covered in blood. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that it was probably the person who tried to pry the door open before. He tried his best but failed. So he got angry and kicked the iron door with all his strength. As a result, the sound was so loud that it attracted the mutant beast...
Then either die or get injured.
In the end, this compartment was retained.
Jiang Rong thought so because the material of the door in front of him was obviously different from the other five doors.
The others are all made of wood, and the locks are the simplest ones.
Only this door is not only an iron door, but also has a big lock on it.
Jiang Rong was standing outside the door at this moment. With just a thought, everything in the door opposite appeared in his jade talisman space.
Jiang Rong felt the sudden appearance of something in the space, and his eyes were a little stunned for a moment. Then his expression was weird for a few seconds, and after a long time, his face returned to calm.
