Chapter 21 Underwater Supermarket 0 Yuan Purchase 1
Xia Xiaoman's axe was ready to move, and his eyes were fixed on the person swimming over.
Just when she thought another fight was about to start, the man slowly swam over while gesturing to pause.
Xia Xiaoman was full of confusion. What did this guy want to do?
The man swam over, pointed at the door lock, took out two iron wires from his clothes, and made a gesture to open the door.
Xia Xiaoman suddenly realized what was going on, stepped back a distance, and made a gesture of invitation for the man to pry the door open.
The man waved his hands, indicating that he didn't want to be a free laborer. After gesturing for a long time, he demanded that he should have the right of first choice. After the door opened, he had to select the supplies first before Xia Xiaoman could go in and choose.
Xia Xiaoman nodded in agreement. After all, once the other party made the choice, everything in the warehouse would be hers.
After the terms were agreed upon, the man went to pry the door open.
There is still a big difference between professionals and amateurs. Xia Xiaoman tried to pry open the lock for more than ten minutes but failed, but the other party opened the door in less than two minutes.
The man went in and looked around, and found some daily necessities such as shower gel and shampoo. He took two bottles but found them too heavy, so he threw them back and swam out in a lack of interest.
After Xia Xiaoman went in and saw what it was, he put everything into the space and swam out empty-handed like that man.
The man thought Xia Xiaoman was not interested in shampoo and the like, so he didn't think much about it. The two of them looked for the next warehouse together.
The next warehouse was filled with fruits. The fruits had been rotten after being soaked for more than half a month. The moment the door was opened, the dirty water inside was almost the same color as poop. The two people were so disgusted that they almost vomited.
The third one was drinks. Xia Xiaoman remembered that the news mentioned that drinks soaked in water should not be drunk because the dirty water would seep into the screw cap, so she didn't take any of these drinks.
The lock picker wanted to, but the drinks were too heavy and a waste of energy. So he took a reluctant look at them and turned to find the next warehouse.
The fourth warehouse contained cigarettes and alcohol. The cigarettes were all soaked, but the wine was well sealed with double protection, so it should still be usable. Xia Xiaoman waited for the lock pickers to finish picking and then put all the remaining wine into the space.
After searching four warehouses in a row without finding the supplies he wanted, Xia Xiaoman stopped the person who was trying to pick the lock and pointed around, indicating that they should find the food area or the grain and oil area. The warehouses where food, grain and oil were stored should be near these areas.
The other party thought what Xia Xiaoman said made sense, and the two of them looked for a place to put the food together.
With a clear goal, it was much easier to find the place, and they found the food area in no time.
The lock picker pointed at the food area and danced excitedly. Just as he was about to swim over, he was grabbed by Xia Xiaoman, who held his shoulders and hid behind a shelf. At the same time, he signaled the lock picker to quickly turn off the light above his head.
The person who picked the lock didn't understand why, but he still listened to the advice and turned off the light.
After a while, he saw three or four people appear in the food area. They held a fishing net and threw the supplies they found into the net. When the net was full, several people pulled the net together and left.
After the people swam away, Xia Xiaoman patted the lock picker on the shoulder, signaling him to catch up quickly.
There was indeed a warehouse in the food area. The door of the warehouse was somewhat deformed due to being smashed. I guess those people couldn't break the door open after smashing it for a long time, so they had to settle for the next best thing and salvage things from the shelves.
Xia Xiaoman urged the man to pick the lock quickly, as the gang might come back at any time.
The warehouse door was pried open, and the man could not wait to run in. This warehouse was much larger than the four warehouses he had pried open before, and it was filled with rows of rice, flour, grain, oil, and various canned condiments.
The man was dazzled by the selection and went in and out several times to move the supplies.
When he picked for the eighth time, Xia Xiaoman became impatient and gestured to him: "Can you carry so many supplies? Just about enough will do."
The man was not polite at all and gestured: "Please help me get some. If I hadn't pried open the door, you might not be able to find any supplies. Help me get some supplies as a reward for my picking the lock."
Xia Xiaoman rolled her eyes, no longer abided by the agreement, and swam into the warehouse on her own.
The man was unhappy and pulled Xia Xiaoman's leg to prevent her from going in. Xia Xiaoman immediately got angry and kicked the man away.
At this moment, the four people who had caught a fishing net before appeared again. When they saw the warehouse was open, they swam towards this side excitedly.
The lock picker saw that the situation was not good, so he picked up his supplies and was about to run away. Suddenly, an arrow shot over and hit the supplies he was carrying.
The lock picker was startled, dropped his supplies and fled. Seeing the second arrow coming, the lock picker swam towards Xia Xiaoman without hesitation, obviously wanting to use Xia Xiaoman as a scapegoat.
Xia Xiaoman was amused, it turned out that he was using her as a shield. She said that since the man was so good at picking locks, why did he still need her cooperation.
The group of people were using spear guns. Xia Xiaoman turned around to avoid the spear guns and was about to fight back when suddenly a force pulled her from behind. She looked back and saw that the lock picker was so bold that he had pulled her oxygen tank.
The situation was urgent. Xia Xiaoman didn't bother to fight back. He held his breath and swam quickly into the warehouse and locked the door.
Outside the door, the lock picker saw the scapegoat Xia Xiaoman enter the warehouse and immediately turned and ran. The gang split into two, two chased the lock picker, and two stayed where they were to guard.
They thought that Xia Xiaoman didn't have an oxygen tank and would not be able to hold her breath in there for long before opening the door and swimming out, so they waited at the door until it opened.
Little did people know that after entering the warehouse, Xia Xiaoman immediately took out a new oxygen cylinder from the space and replaced it.
After catching his breath, Xia Xiaoman moved all the shelves in the warehouse to the door, blocked the door, and then slowly put the materials in the warehouse into the space.
The warehouse door was shaking with water, and people outside kept banging on it, trying to break it open.
After collecting the supplies, Xia Xiaoman swam to the gate, waited for the water waves at the gate to calm down, put the things blocking the gate into the space one by one, then quietly opened the lock, swam to the top of the warehouse door, and hooked his feet on the floor in an inverted position.
After fixing the position, Xia Xiaoman took out a machete from the space, stuffed it into the crack of the door, and pried the door open.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open and a dark shadow swam in from outside.
When the black shadow swam to the bottom of the door, Xia Xiaoman pushed hard with both feet, and at the same time, holding the machete in his hand, he raised his hand and put the machete into the black shadow's neck. He tightened his strength, and the machete instantly embedded into the other's neck.
A large amount of blood gushed out, and although Xia Xiaoman was unable to breathe through his nose, he seemed to smell a strong smell of blood.
The other three people outside the warehouse saw their companion being killed instantly, and they stepped back a distance vigilantly.
The three of them roughly guessed where Xia Xiaoman was hiding, and spent a long time discussing countermeasures.
About two minutes later, three people swam towards the warehouse at the same time, and one of them took a spear gun and quietly aimed upwards...
