Chapter 20: Free Shopping at Underwater Supermarket
That night, Zhou Qiuyang indeed had a fever.
After suffering such a serious injury and being caught in the rain, it is normal for the wound to become inflamed and cause a fever.
When Xia Xiaoman went out in the morning, she saw Wen Jianfeng walking out of Zhou Qiuyang's house with a tired face, and only then did she realize that he had taken care of Zhou Qiuyang for a whole night.
Wen Jianfeng saw Xia Xiaoman holding a pack of instant noodles and asked, "Do you want to help Xiaoyang make breakfast?"
Xia Xiaoman hummed, "He's injured like this, he probably can't get up to cook."
"People who are sick can't eat instant noodles. They are too hot. I've cooked some porridge. You can take the instant noodles back."
Xia Xiaoman was a little surprised, "Can you cook?"
Wen Jianfeng smiled and said, "Cooking is not a difficult task. My cooking skills are pretty good, I'll show you my skills when I have the chance."
Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a moment. In her impression, men don't know how to cook and don't need to cook. Kitchen matters are women's tasks. This is what her mother has always told her since she was a child.
Of course, she did not agree with this statement, nor did she want to be a woman like her mother, so she tried her best to run out of the small mountain village.
"Are you going out to salvage supplies later?"
After hearing Wen Jianfeng's words, Xia Xiaoman came back to her senses, "You didn't sleep all night, and you still have the energy to go out and salvage supplies?"
Wen Jianfeng nodded. "It's okay. I used to stay up late often. There's nothing to eat at home. I need to find some food for Lingling and the others."
"Okay, I'll go back and have breakfast, and we'll meet in half an hour."
We must salvage supplies as soon as possible. Everyone in the city is salvaging supplies. If you are slow, there will be nothing left.
Xia Xiaoman originally wanted to lend the spare diving equipment to Wen Jianfeng, but she didn't expect that Wen Jianfeng had already borrowed a set from Sun Qing in advance.
Wen Jianfeng entrusted the twins to the care of Sun Qing and the others, and went out with Xia Xiaoman, taking the diving equipment and kayak.
Before going out, the two had already discussed the route.
They have diving equipment that allows them to reach the bottom of the water where others cannot, so they don't have to aimlessly salvage floating objects on the water.
The two of them unanimously decided to go to the supermarket closest to Chenyang Community.
This is a large international brand supermarket, covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters. It has everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc. It is simply a salvage sanctuary.
The flood receded to the seventh floor, and Xia Xiaoman and Wen Jianfeng left from the seventh floor balcony.
The two kayaked for more than an hour before reaching their destination.
There were quite a few people visiting this supermarket, and when they arrived, there were seven or eight homemade rafts, three kayaks, a rubber fishing boat and a speedboat floating on the water.
Xia Xiaoman and his group were not the only ones who had diving equipment. The one driving the speedboat, the one operating the fishing boat, and one of the kayaks also had diving equipment.
There was a large raft tied to the back of the speedboat, on which were placed some supplies that had just been salvaged. It must have been there for quite some time.
Several groups of people around were staring at the speedboat with eager eyes, but the person sitting in the speedboat was not panicked at all. Instead, he grinned at others provocatively.
Wen Jianfeng whispered, "Xiao Man, after I get in the water, try not to leave the crowd. If someone comes to grab the kayak, paddle the kayak into the crowd, create chaos and take the opportunity to escape. If you can't keep the kayak, then don't bother with it. Your own safety is more important."
Xia Xiaoman didn't want to give up the opportunity to buy underwater for free, so she refused: "Coach, I'm a good swimmer and have had several experiences in the water. I think I'm safer underwater than on the surface."
Wen Jianfeng disagreed, "No, there should be a lot of people in the water. You will be hindered in your movements with the diving equipment on your back. If you are surrounded by people, it will be easy to get into trouble."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me." Xia Xiaoman put on diving equipment and jumped into the water despite Wen Jianfeng's objection.
There were indeed quite a few people underwater. As soon as she entered the water, she saw two or three people dragging things upstream. They must have found something good and couldn't wait to offer it to the others.
Xia Xiaoman didn't bother them and swam straight to the supermarket entrance. Before she reached the supermarket entrance, she saw two people guarding the door and not allowing anyone to enter.
At the same time, Xia Xiaoman felt that something was wrong with the water waves behind her. She turned around and saw a dark shadow coming around behind her, trying to pull her oxygen tank.
Seeing that he had no tool in his hand, Xia Xiaoman turned around suddenly, swung his feet and pounced towards the man, at the same time taking out a sharp knife from the space and pointing it at the black shadow's neck.
Before the man could figure out why Xia Xiaoman suddenly threw herself into his arms, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck and the muddy water in front of him turned into red mist.
Xia Xiaoman kicked the man away and swam to the side, intending to find another entrance to the supermarket.
The companions of the black shadow in the distance saw the black shadow slowly falling, and knew that the idiot had failed, and immediately swam hard towards Xia Xiaoman's direction.
Xia Xiaoman knew that someone was following him, but he was not in a hurry. He found an unguarded entrance and stopped, quietly feeling the waves behind him.
After waiting for about ten seconds, she pulled out the axe tied to her thigh, suddenly turned around, gripped the axe and chopped down.
The man reacted very quickly and dodged the attack by turning sideways. Xia Xiaoman swung the axe again, but the resistance in the water was great, and before she could swing the axe, her hand was grabbed by the other party.
Xia Xiaoman took advantage of the opponent's force to lean forward, and at the same time, he took out a machete from the space with his left hand and stabbed it into the opponent's neck.
After dealing with the tail behind him, Xia Xiaoman pried open the supermarket door and swam in.
This supermarket was built only a few years ago, and the building materials used are quite sturdy. It has not collapsed after being soaked in water for so long. All the supplies inside are trapped in the supermarket and cannot get out.
As soon as Xia Xiaoman opened the door, all the floating objects blocking the door rushed out.
Xia Xiaoman grabbed a bag of floating objects and took a look. They were all puffed foods, French fries, potato chips, popcorn chicken and other snacks.
She didn't go out of her way to collect these things. She just grabbed some and threw them into the space. She waited for the floating objects to drift away before she got in.
The main purpose of going into the water this time is to find a warehouse. The things in the warehouse are the bulk of the things. These messy puffed foods are troublesome to collect and they don’t satisfy your hunger.
The supermarket was very large and Xia Xiaoman was not familiar with it. It took her a while to find a warehouse.
Halfway through the process, Xia Xiaoman noticed a light in the distance, which must be someone coming. She ignored it and continued to pry the door lock.
After a while, the light gradually approached her. When the other party was more than ten meters away from her, Xia Xiaoman raised her axe at the other party and pointed at the shelf in the distance, signaling him not to come over and go to other places to find supplies.
But that person seemed to not understand, and swam towards Xia Xiaoman without stopping...
