The driver looked at the 200 yuan in his hand with a somewhat bewildered expression.
"No... young man..."
This is truly bizarre!
The driver intended to return the money to Xiao Jin, but when he looked up, she was nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, the driver saw many people pushing carts and carrying bags in and out of the supermarket. In their hands, they were carrying rice, flour, vegetables and other supplies.
Looking at the gray sky, a gust of wind blew by, and the driver shivered. He touched his arms, which were covered in goosebumps, and then gritted his teeth.
"Damn, those novels won't become reality, will they?!"
Although he said that, the driver was already wavering in his heart.
Thinking of the apocalyptic scenario his daughter had described, he quickly grabbed his phone and wallet, locked the car, and ran into the supermarket through the snow...
It turns out that hoarding is a hidden instinct in everyone.
Chinese people, in particular, tend to respond to disasters more quickly.
The weather changed in just a few hours; it had just started snowing over there when the crowds of people rushing to buy vegetables appeared here!
The first places to be targeted were supermarkets of all sizes, with the grain and oil sections being the hardest hit. When Xiao Jin entered, the shelves were practically bare, with only scraps left!
Passengers on the bus were carrying 50-pound bags of rice and flour, and two or three cans of soybean oil each. The elderly men and women on the bus, who were always shouting about respecting the elderly and caring for the young, were the main force grabbing things.
Xiao Jin's lips twitched slightly as she watched; she had no idea how many shoes she had seen on the ground.
Gradually, more and more people came to their senses, and a huge flow of people began to surge into the supermarket, overwhelming the cashiers at the checkout.
I don't know who it was, but seeing that the security guards were too busy, they grabbed the supplies and rushed out without looking up.
The piercing alarm sounded, but the security guards couldn't find anyone. Even if they did, they were blocked by the dense crowd in front of them and couldn't get out.
It started as just one case, but soon more and more people started breaking the rules, with the main idea being that the law doesn't punish everyone.
First, the supermarket fence that was being blocked was stepped on, and then someone simply pushed the shopping cart away.
The security guards shouted themselves hoarse, but nothing they did helped.
People were pushed and trampled, and cries, shouts, and curses rose and fell. Finally, someone remembered to call the police, but the line was constantly busy.
The person who called the police was unaware that chaos had already broken out outside. All the city's police force had been mobilized, but it was far from enough.
Outside, the light snow had turned into heavy snow, and if someone checked the temperature, they would find that it had dropped below zero.
The supermarket was in chaos. Xiao Jin didn't push the cart; she just wandered around with her hands in her pockets, storing any forgotten items into her spatial storage.
In this situation, everyone was busy grabbing supplies, so no one really noticed Xiao Jin's actions.
You only find out which foods are the least popular when you're stocking up; those are the ones you keep.
Xiao Jin didn't care what flavor it was, and took them all.
Since each person could only take a limited amount of things, a large number of small snacks that didn't fill their stomachs were left behind, such as dried fruit, spicy strips, candy, and potato chips.
Or it could be seasonings, water cups, tableware, buckets, and toiletries—these are less essential supplies.
As Xiao Jin continued collecting, he strayed further and further off course, eventually arriving at a heavy doorway.
The main gate was closed, and there was a sign on it that read, "No entry for non-employees." It was definitely a supermarket warehouse!
Xiao Jin didn't force the door open, as that would be too noisy. Instead, she reached into her backpack and took out the "Master Key".
Universal Key
Grade: Blue
Cooldown time: three hours
Note: I can open any hole.
This is when you can see the clever use of these blue items.
The [Master Key] looks ordinary, but after Xiao Jin inserts it into the lock cylinder, it will change into a key shape that fits the lock cylinder according to its internal shape.
'Snap!'
Xiao Jin gently turned the key, and the door in front of her opened instantly.
After entering, Xiao Jin gently closed the door, looked at the tall stack of boxes inside, and nodded in satisfaction.
After examining several boxes, Xiao Jin decisively put away two-thirds of the supplies inside, leaving the remaining portion as is.
I'll open the door after I leave and see who's lucky enough to get in!
Most of the supplies left behind were instant food products that could be eaten without cooking, or some filling biscuits, chocolates, and dried fruits.
While inspecting the supplies, Xiao Jin also found several boxes of socks, down comforters, and thermal underwear. She deliberately kept a few extra boxes of these in the warehouse.
The supermarket was almost empty, so Xiao Jin left through the back exit.
When I came out, I found that the snow was falling very heavily, and the streets were full of people and vehicles, with police sirens sounding from time to time.
As they were speaking, several police cars pulled up in front of the supermarket, indicating that the emergency call had gone through!
Xiao Jin ignored it and prepared to rush to other supermarkets, hoping that they hadn't been sold out yet.
Because of this sudden anomaly, it's very difficult to hail a taxi outside. Of course, even if you can drive, you can't go very fast in these road conditions.
Therefore, we can now make use of the route map that Xiao Jin had memorized before!
Once the location was determined, Xiao Jin moved his feet and launched himself out!
The people around only felt a whistling wind, and then continued on their way home as if nothing had happened!
What else? It's the apocalypse, why would anyone want to work a grueling job?
Over the next two hours, Xiao Jin visited four large supermarkets, three chain mid-sized supermarkets, and a home textile market.
The home textile market is closed; perhaps the owners are also in a hurry to grab supplies.
Xiao Jin acted like a robber, taking away half of the blankets, down comforters, and quilts after entering.
Having received half of the items, Xiao Jin found their mattresses and furniture quite nice, so she added a lot more sofas, mattresses, and attractive cabinets to her space.
Before leaving, Xiao Jin thought for a moment and hid several boxes of compressed biscuits and several boxes of canned beef behind the door of the other party's lounge, covering them with a sheet.
The zero-dollar purchase program has come to a temporary end, and Xiao Jin plans to visit a coal mine in the suburbs.
People are currently busy buying supplies, so no one should be thinking about coal, since people in Y City never burn coal.
