The apocalypse has lasted too long, and many people have lost their conscience. Their first reaction upon seeing supplies is to take them for themselves. Especially when the temptation is great enough, the danger is automatically ignored.
Just as Chengtian was about to ask about the inn, he suddenly sensed a sharp wind blade coming from behind him.
He wanted to dodge, but considering that Meng Xia would be in danger, he prepared to use his back to block the wind blades. "Meng Enren, be careful!"
Meng Xia knew that people's hearts were unpredictable in the apocalypse, but the inn had strong defensive capabilities, otherwise An Ge would not have left her alone to guard the inn.
As the wind blade approached Chengtian, it was neutralized by an invisible force, as if nothing had happened.
Before Cheng Tian could even express his surprise, he looked at the person who had made the move and exclaimed, "Little Ma, you despicable person!"
The moment the wind blade was neutralized, Xiao Ma's reason returned abruptly. Terrified, he immediately turned to run. As he turned, he saw a woman looking at him mockingly.
"Little Ge'er, I'm so scared!" Meng Xia exclaimed dramatically, opening the door and quickly grabbing An Ge's hand.
An Ge glanced at her. If Meng Xia could withdraw her amused look, she might still believe her a little.
While Xiao Ma was still in a daze, Cheng Tian grabbed the man, and the others who came with him also reacted and helped to control him.
“An Enren, I…” Cheng Tian opened his mouth, feeling that he had let the two of them down.
An Ge waved her hand, "You didn't do it on purpose, it's not a big deal. This person tried to harm my friend, I won't let him get away with it easily."
The remaining people suddenly came to their senses, feeling only relief that they hadn't been blinded by temptation.
Xiao Ma trembled as he prepared to look at An Ge. The beauty of the person in front of him was the most beautiful he had ever seen, but her smile was also the most terrifying.
"Please, let me go."
The group felt a little sad. Although Xiao Ma was a bit greedy, he hadn't done anything particularly heinous.
In this cannibalistic world of the apocalypse, who wouldn't be greedy?
An Ge smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to just let you go? How about this, I need a good environment to run my shop here. The surroundings are too messy, so you need to tidy it up properly for me."
As he spoke, he conjured up cleaning tools out of thin air and tossed them to Xiao Ma, saying, "Just tell me if you need any other tools. Clean this area up for me today."
Everyone was initially shocked by this spatial ability, but upon hearing An Ge's words, they breathed a sigh of relief while looking at Xiao Ma with sympathy.
With a long face, Xiao Ma picked up his tools and began cleaning diligently. The boss's words at least assured him that he wasn't in mortal danger and wouldn't be bitten by zombies.
Having solved the problem of Xiao Ma and now having free labor, An Ge gave a polite smile, "Welcome to my shop, what would you like to buy?"
The group nodded unconsciously, then came to their senses and excitedly asked, "Can we...can we buy something?"
"Of course, this is an inn, or rather, a hotel."
Everyone felt that there was something strange about the statement, but what did it matter if it was good for buying supplies?
The store door opened, and everyone carefully entered, only to be stunned by what they saw on the shelves.
Instant noodles, sausages, bread, biscuits, rice, flour... and even some daily necessities gave them the illusion of browsing a small shop before the apocalypse.
The shelves were all priced, but they were all in points, leaving everyone confused.
Chengtian and his wife exchanged a glance, both seeing excitement in each other's eyes.
Fang Wanhua asked cautiously, "Manager, how do I redeem points?"
Everyone then realized that these supplies were in short supply, and earning points would be very difficult.
An Ge smiled and took out a points exchange device. "You can put your valuables in here, such as jewelry or crystal cores, and exchange them for points."
Chengtian carefully took out a level-one crystal core and put it into the exchange device.
"Level 1 crystal core, cleansed of evil energy, valued at 1000 points."
Cheng Tian's eyes lit up with surprise when he saw the points. He hadn't expected that a level one crystal core would be worth so many points, enough to buy a lot of supplies.
Upon learning this, everyone took out their crystal cores to exchange for the items, and then went on a shopping spree, wanting to take everything away.
It's impossible to empty the shelves completely. Just after everyone had taken everything from the shelves, they suddenly became full of supplies again.
Everyone looked at An Ge in surprise, their eyes filled with even greater awe.
With such methods, Manager An must be a god, right?
Meng Xia teased Cong Cong for a while, then noticed that An Ge had her brows furrowed and was deep in thought.
"What's wrong?"
An Ge stared at the rows of prompts, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper, but now was not the time to talk about that.
She shook her head. "I'll tell you later."
Seeing that supplies would be continuously replenished, the tension in everyone's hearts disappeared. Their biggest fear was that everything would run out, but now they weren't worried at all.
"Manager, this is an inn, do you have any guest rooms?" Cheng Tian asked cautiously, his eyes filled with hope.
"Uh, yes, there are, but the guest rooms are rather basic." An Ge said, somewhat embarrassed.
Chengtian quickly waved his hand, "It's okay, as long as you're safe."
An Ge led everyone outside and pointed to several tents that hadn't been set up yet, saying, "The area around the inn is safe. If you want to stay, just make do in these tents for now. Of course, the price isn't expensive. Regular rooms will be available later, and the price will be adjusted then."
Hearing that safety was guaranteed, no one cared about the price anymore and they all booked the tents.
Xiao Ma watched from afar as everyone ate and drank, and felt even hungrier, filled with regret.
He must have lost his mind. That was a high-level superhuman with unpredictable abilities! He was practically courting death. Luckily, the shopkeeper was kind; as long as he cleaned up this area, he could clear his name.
As night fell, despite being in the most dangerous downtown area, everyone felt exceptionally safe.
Since the beginning of the apocalypse, this is the first time they haven't worried about a zombie invasion at all.
"Honey, the store manager said she'll be expanding in the future. Do you think she'll be hiring?"
Fang Wanhua's words stunned Chengtian. He was so immersed in the joy of having a powerful backer that he hadn't thought about this at all.
Chengtian knew about his wife's profession before the apocalypse, but he was already extremely grateful that Store Manager An and Manager Meng had taken them in, and he dared not ask for anything more.
"Go to sleep first. Prices are low here. I'll kill more zombies in the future, and our family will have better days."
Fang Wanhua felt she was being a bit delusional. The store manager was mysterious and dared to open a store here, so there must be a powerful team behind him.
Otherwise, she couldn't possibly have so many supplies; she can't possibly be a god.
She's just an ordinary person. What good is it if she used to be a senior executive at a hotel?
"Yes, the store manager is our benefactor. It seems she's short-staffed right now. I'll go help her tomorrow."
The two hadn't chatted in such fear and trepidation for a long time, and they didn't feel sleepy until late at night.
