Chapter 3 Air Raid Shelter
On the surface, she is the sales manager of a certain brand of wooden doors.
In fact, the people behind it are still "middlemen" of medicines, pet food, and near-expiry products.
There are many gray areas involved.
Doing these things requires being extremely secretive and cost-effective.
She used this abandoned air-raid shelter as a temporary warehouse.
In order to avoid attacks, she specially modified the entrance of the air-raid shelter.
The entrance was not at the foot of the mountain, but was opened by Chu Nian on the top of the mountain.
The main point is the surprise.
Fortunately, otherwise it would have been submerged by the flood long ago.
Because the iconic pavilion and trees are gone.
It took Chu Nian some effort to find the entrance.
She knocked here and stomped her feet there on the hill.
Jingming didn't know what was going on.
It was not until a faint empty sound was heard that Chu Nian's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
"Jingming, dig~"
Jingming used his wood-related abilities to create two hard wooden thorns.
The two men dug hard on the small hill in the flood.
Chu Nian was very satisfied with Jing Ming's obedience to his words.
If she wanted to get the reward as quickly as possible, Jingming was probably her only choice.
After digging through more than ten centimeters of soil and weeds, a small door that was only big enough for one person to pass through was revealed.
The door is already rusty, and if the flood is bigger, it will submerge the whole place.
"Niannian, this is..."
There was surprise in Jingming's eyes.
"If you still want to be with me, remember these four words: don't ask, don't tell."
"Can you do this? Can I trust you?"
There was a terrifying calmness in Chu Nian's eyes.
Jingming nodded quickly.
Strictly implement the "four-word policy" of "don't ask, don't tell".
A little silly and cute.
Two people went down one by one and closed the small door on the top.
Jingming activated his wood-related ability again, allowing the pulled weeds to cover the outside.
Unless you look carefully, you won't notice it.
However, after using his supernatural power three times in a row, Jing Ming's face turned pale.
It is obvious that this F-level ability not only has a small effect, but also has low energy.
Chu Nian led Jing Ming down the stairs, twisting and turning so many times that it almost made him dizzy.
Because Chu Nian occupied it privately, he didn't dare to use electricity at all.
The most primitive kerosene lamps are still used.
"The lighter is still there, so the things must be still there too."
Chu Nian fumbled to light the kerosene lamp, and the dark alley was illuminated.
"This way."
Chu Nian was so excited that he wanted to rub his hands.
The air-raid shelter continued to go down and reached the innermost side.
There was some water seeping from the ground, so Chu Nian and Jing Ming supported each other and walked through the mud.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, a dusty and dry smell hit me in the face.
For a place that can be used as a warehouse by Chu Nian, waterproofing is naturally the best.
"Jingming, what are you still standing there for? Come in quickly."
Chu Nian saw that the materials he had stored here and had not yet delivered to customers were still well preserved.
The mood is particularly beautiful.
"Niannian, these, these are all yours?"
Jingming swallowed his saliva.
What did he see?
Boxes of compressed biscuits, mineral water, cola, instant noodles, medicine...
It was piled up to form a wall that was three meters wide and more than two meters high.
Before the end of the world, these things would be considered cheap goods.
But now is the end of the world.
If even a little bit of these things leak out, they will be snatched away without leaving anything behind.
"What a pity, it's already expired."
"But it doesn't matter, they're all still edible and haven't gone bad."
Chu Nian thanks the preservative.
These things were originally expiring goods that Chu Nian had hoarded.
Before she could deliver it to the customer, she was hit and killed by a naughty kid.
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, it finally returned to my hands.
"What are you standing there for? Come on and eat."
Chu Nian was not stingy with Jing Ming and stuffed two compressed biscuits and a bottle of Coke into his hand.
“It would be better if there was hot water.”
Chu Nian was chewing on the foam of compressed biscuits.
My eyes turned blue as I looked at the box of instant noodles.
Braised beef, scallion spareribs, pickled mustard greens...
Chu Nian looked at the instant noodles and his saliva began to water even more.
Jingming and Chu Nian only ate one 100-gram compressed biscuit and stopped eating.
This thing will expand after absorbing water, and eating too much will make your stomach bloated.
"Niannian, you have so many things, why are you still..."
Jingming had many questions in his mind.
If she took out these supplies, the base would definitely not kick her out.
"Why are you still in such a miserable state?"
Chu Nian drank the last sip of Coke.
"This is the end of the world. I won't trust anyone except myself."
"Can I survive by handing these things over?"
Chu Nian had a sarcastic smile on his face.
Over the years, she has seen too much of people's fickleness and changeable character.
In the end times, people turn into ghosts, but their essence remains unchanged.
"I'm afraid that by then I won't be given some superficial treatment."
"Can't actually believe I took all of it out."
"I still don't know how to completely drain me."
Chu Nian looked at Jing Ming.
Even if he and the original owner had a childhood sweetheart relationship, she would not completely trust him.
Now she needs a man, more importantly, a partner, that's all.
"You're right, I was too naive."
Jingming sat down against the wall near Chu Nian.
Before the end of the world, Jingming accidentally found his biological parents.
That is the family of one of the current rulers of that base.
Naturally, I spent some time in relative comfort.
But later, as more and more people awakened their superpowers.
Jingming, on the other hand, has the lowest-level F-grade wood-related ability.
It's completely useless.
Gradually they were marginalized.
He has fallen to the point where he is no different from the other survivors in the base.
In the end times, whoever has the stronger fist is the boss.
No matter where you go, the truth remains unchanged.
"What should we do next?"
Jingming was a little confused.
"Survive."
Chu Nian was already unpacking the carton of instant noodles.
Tear off the moisture-proof oil paper on top and use it as a blanket.
Jingming hurried over to help, as there was no need for Chu Nian to take action as long as he was there.
"Go to sleep first. No one will come here for a while."
The sky is big, the earth is big, eating and sleeping are the most important.
Chu Nian tore off the oil paper and lay down.
By the way, I also covered Jingming with it.
Jingming looked at Chu Nian excitedly, who was willing to "sleep on the same bed" with him.
My heart was beating so fast that I almost couldn't control myself.
Chu Nian was very cautious in the past and had lost hope in life, so how could she respond to Jing Ming?
"Nian Nian, I will protect you."
Jing Ming's voice was responded by Chu Nian's long breath.
Chu Nian was awakened by the heat.
When I opened my eyes, I realized that I had rolled into Jingming's arms without knowing when.
Jingming's face was as red as a monkey's butt.
And he bent his body backward carefully.
I was afraid that the dishonest guy would hurt Chu Nian.
