Xiao Jin has everything in his space, but Mao Liu and the others don't.
Moreover, since Jason and his group haven't experienced the apocalypse, they probably don't have the same experience as the players in preparing supplies.
So Xiao Jin asked for the money, intending to prepare it himself.
But it seems that Jason misunderstood her as wanting to buy snacks.
Whether it's planes, car fuel, or supplies, since Jason and his team were on a mission, all expenses were reimbursed by their superiors. However, expenses for buying snacks and local specialties were not covered by the reimbursement.
Considering that the child had been confined abroad for a long time, it's understandable that he's curious about things in China. Besides, Jason doesn't usually spend much money, and the money in his salary card is just a number to him, more than enough to buy the child some snacks.
However, he didn't see that Xiao Jin was holding her salary card at the time, and the expression on her face was very subtle.
Upon entering, everyone was stunned by the magnificent sight before them.
Previously, players hoarded resources because they had a unique information advantage and didn't need to participate in the post-disaster panic buying. Some people even waited for society to descend into chaos before starting to loot.
Therefore, they were all dumbfounded when they saw the dense crowd in front of them, and had no idea how to start.
How do I snatch it?
The group watched as an old man with a cane used one hand to forcefully poke the leg of the person in front of him, while the other hand unhesitatingly grabbed two 5L bottles of mineral water.
Your grandpa is still your grandpa.
Inside the supermarket, the crowds surged, as if every inch of air was filled with panic and urgency.
In front of the shelves, the pushing and shoving between hands was like a silent war, and everyone's face was filled with deep worry about the unknown natural disaster.
Suddenly, the air conditioning in the supermarket stopped working, and the huge supermarket turned into a giant oven. The floor was covered with crushed and rotten vegetable leaves, and people passing by were pushing shopping carts that were full of purchases. Some families even came together to help.
Without supplies, it's definitely not an option. The first thing to prepare is water, and the second is food that can be stored for a long time. Xiao Jin doesn't plan to consider things like vacuum-packed meat or canned goods this time.
Bottled water already takes up a lot of space, and canned goods are so heavy, so we need to make good use of the space inside the car.
Since Jensen and his group had no storage space, even a vacuum environment wouldn't be ideal under the intense heat, so they simply bought some compressed biscuits, instant noodles, dried noodles, and dehydrated vegetables to stock up on.
Supermarkets should have things like alcohol blocks and portable gas stoves, but they are prone to spontaneous combustion and explosion. Xiao Jin still thinks traditional matches are fine.
After figuring things out, everyone divided the work and worked together. In just a short while, almost the entire wall of mineral water in the supermarket had disappeared.
The moment the shop assistant appeared with his trolley to restock, the area around it was immediately surrounded by a surging crowd.
Mao Liu and his group gritted their teeth and then forcefully tore a rift through the crowd, each step accompanied by the dissatisfied growls and curses of those around them.
"Boss, wait for us a bit. It's just buying something, we can go." Mao Liu waved to Xiao Jin from the crowd.
Xu Qing, who was already small and thin, had long since been squeezed out of sight.
Pan Peng was quite interesting. Somehow, he was pushed to the front by the crowd. He excitedly grabbed a large box of bottled water, only to find that even though he had managed to grab it, he couldn't get out.
The dense wall of people behind him made the chubby boy feel like he was suffocating.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin's lips twitched slightly. Then, her expression suddenly turned cold, and she no longer concealed her terrifying killing intent.
The aura he had accumulated over ten years of struggling in the apocalypse was thus completely released. If Jensen were here, he probably wouldn't think of Xiao Jin as a child he needed to cherish and protect anymore!
It was a chilling aura emanating from the depths of the soul, which instantly froze the surrounding air.
Where Xiao Jin's gaze swept, the noisy and pushing crowd involuntarily slowed down, their voices quieted down, and some even began to quietly retreat. On the other side, those who were unaware of what was happening inside also followed suit and walked back.
And so, amidst the chaos and clamor, Xiao Jin carved out a space around herself in an incredible way.
Wherever she went, people automatically made way for her.
Xiao Jin went to the bottled water section and stuffed water into the empty shopping cart on her left without hesitation, until the cart was almost completely blocked from view before she stopped.
Before leaving, Xiao Jin silently gave Mao Liu and the others a meaningful look. Mao Liu immediately understood what Xiao Jin meant. While the others were too afraid to approach, he quickly imitated Xiao Jin's actions and put water into the shopping cart.
When one cart was full, they put in another. Then, just as Xiao Jin was about to disappear, Mao Liu and the others quickly pushed the cart and followed behind her.
After they left, the crowd paused for a moment before resuming its previous noisy behavior.
By the time Xiao Jin and his group finally returned laden with supplies, an hour had already passed.
This was only because Xiao Jin used his 'privilege' to cut in line to pay. Didn't you see the long line behind Xiao Jin and his group when they pushed their cart away? The cashier's hands were cramping.
"so much?"
An Lian, who was staying in the vehicle, saw Xiao Jin and the others from afar and quickly got out of the car to help them. Then he stared in disbelief at the four people's masterpiece—eight huge shopping carts in total, and almost bit his tongue.
"No...this...uh!!"
An Lian didn't know what to say, but he actually went to buy supplies! He actually thought the same as the captain, that Xiao Jin wanted to go out and have fun!
"My god, I'm exhausted." Although Pan Peng is a nimble fat man, this was the first time he had witnessed the frenzy of Chinese people hoarding goods, and he was completely worn out.
Mao Liu patted An Lian on the shoulder and said mysteriously, "This is nothing. You'll understand later, and you might even have to thank us."
"You have no manners!" An Lian got along well with the talkative Mao Liu, so he could joke around freely. He patted Mao Liu's arm that was draped over his shoulder without thinking about the deeper meaning in his words.
Mao Liu wasn't annoyed; he just smiled and pursed his lips...
Luckily, their car was big enough to fit everything in the trunk. Xiao Jin asked An Lian, "Jensen isn't back yet?"
An Lian was taken aback: "Yes, we've been waiting outside, but we haven't seen the captain come out."
After saying that, An Lian couldn't help but wonder why Xiao Jin and the others hadn't come out yet, even though they had bought so many supplies.
Then he heard Xiao Jin say, "Oh, no need to rush, I'll go to the pharmacy." There's probably a queue right now!
"Huh?" An Lian hadn't even grasped Xiao Jin's meaning when he saw her walk away in the blink of an eye. He reached out as if to say something, but in the end, he kept his mouth shut.
Actually, Xiao Jin shouldn't have been allowed to leave alone, but the captain wasn't there, and I couldn't control Xiao Jin, so I decided to let it go!
