Chapter 68 Someone beat me to it
The journey was smooth, and the group exited the highway without incident, arriving in Ning City.
The sun was shining brightly in Ning City, and the weather was much better than in Y City.
The ground was still mostly littered with various vehicles and human remains. Because it wasn't a busy area, there weren't many zombies; they were gathered in small groups.
Upon hearing the car, they quickly rushed towards Ling Ran and the others, but they were too slow to catch up and soon left the zombies behind.
Looking at the map, Zhou Hang gave directions to Pei Xiu, who was driving: "Turn left ahead." After saying that, he turned to Ling Ran and said, "Sister, this map only shows up to one county in Ning City after you get off the highway. It doesn't show the other counties."
"Let's look for supplies in this county first, and then we can look for other places anywhere."
Once we're in Ning City, having a map isn't really that important. However, having a map would help them avoid some detours.
"Okay, Brother Xiu, let's go to a big supermarket nearby first."
"Okay, just give me directions."
After driving for more than half an hour, we finally arrived at the large supermarket that Zhou Hang had pointed out. The supermarket had three floors, and next to it was a small night market with many uniform stalls. Some of the food on the stalls was moldy and spoiled, and the owners were no longer there.
Next to the night market was a small square, littered with trash: lost shoes, dropped phones, and clothes thrown around. There were also many fans and scarves. A few zombies were scattered around, and from their blood-stained clothes, you could vaguely make out that they were probably middle-aged women doing square dancing, all dressed in matching pink outfits.
Her once fashionable curly hair was now completely covered in blood, making it impossible to tell what color it was dyed.
The entrance to the ground parking lot was blocked by several cars, so Ling Ran simply got out of the car there.
There are basically no supplies in the night market square, and the surrounding shops are mostly snack shops, such as milk tea shops, McDonald's, stinky tofu shops, and some mobile phone and computer repair shops.
Several square-dancing aunties, now turned into zombies, smelled the scent of humans and immediately pounced on them.
Pei Xiu was the fastest; out of the three zombies, he managed to snatch one and successfully dig out a crystal core.
The ground-level parking lot wasn't large, so there weren't many zombies. Many car doors were open, and you could see car keys and the owners' bags on the passenger seat. You could imagine that after the apocalypse, people would abandon their cars and flee in panic.
Upon arriving at the first floor of the supermarket, I found that there weren't many zombies inside.
After dealing with some of the zombies that came out, the group went inside and saw that the supplies in the large supermarket had been almost completely cleared out.
There was almost no food left, but there were plenty of daily necessities, appliances, and clothing.
Pei Xiu slapped the cashier's counter in frustration: "Damn it! I'm late!"
"Let's go somewhere else."
The population of this county in Ning City is not considered central; it's located in the suburbs. The danger level drops significantly. The supermarket doesn't have a particularly large customer flow; any small team with some strength, if careful, can definitely take it down in two or three days, if not one.
Pei Xiu pointed to the map: "About seven kilometers from here, there is a shopping mall, which should be the most prosperous place in this county."
"Then let's go take a look here."
Ling Ran gave the order, and the group got into the car and headed towards Jinxiu Square in the county. The distance of six or seven kilometers wasn't far, but it took half an hour due to roadblocks.
Jinxiu Plaza has two parking lots, one above ground and one underground. It has a total of five floors, three above ground and two underground.
The basement level is divided into a supermarket, a food court, and a parking lot. The ground floor mainly consists of gold jewelry stores, bookstores, and cafes. The second floor has milk tea shops, electronics stores, and children's clothing stores. The third floor is filled with restaurants, a cinema, and an arcade.
