Chapter 19 Supermarket
For ordinary people, without the protection of car air conditioning, it is almost impossible to travel a distance of just a few hundred meters.
Mo Fei, who had drunk enough space water and was wearing sun protection equipment, had a hard time walking under the scorching sun.
Thinking that a short pain is worse than a long one, Mo Fei simply ran over, but found that the pharmacy a few hundred meters away was not open at all. There was a notice printed on A4 paper posted on the scroll door: The business hours of this store have been changed to 6pm to 6am. Please tell each other. If you have any urgent matters, please contact 187oooooo.
Mo Fei came here with great excitement, but when he was about to leave in disappointment, he discovered that the famous Yuanda Shopping Mall was not far from the pharmacy.
It looks like the crowd over there is being evacuated.
She focused her attention and looked in the direction of the mall, and the sound from there suddenly became clearer.
It turned out that the mall had a power outage just like the hotel.
Almost every storefront on this street is the same.
There were already quite a few citizens in the mall, either sitting in the lobby to enjoy the free air-conditioning, or queuing up to buy food in the supermarket on the underground floor.
This time there was a power outage and it would take some time to get the electricity back on, so the mall had to organize them to evacuate first.
People crowded at the mall entrances and exits. The cold air in the mall had not yet dissipated, and many people were reluctant to leave. Many people finally managed to grab some things in the supermarket, but when they were about to pay, they found that the power was out. They were so annoyed that they refused to leave no matter what.
Mo Fei sneaked in through an empty safety exit, which was the back door of the supermarket on the underground first floor.
The original owner had been to this mall with her children before and got lost on the underground floor. She entered the supermarket from this entrance.
Mo Fei tried to push the door and found that the supermarket had opened all the exits to evacuate the crowd, so the door in front of him was pushed open immediately.
After passing through two powerless security gates is the daily necessities area of the supermarket.
This place is quite remote, and there are still a dozen or so customers here and there. I guess the security guards haven't checked here yet, so these customers have been evacuated.
This week, almost all the food and things that can keep you cool in the supermarket have been sold out.
The speed of replenishment cannot keep up with the enthusiasm of everyone to buy. But the daily necessities shelves in front of me have everything they need.
Mo Fei pushed a shopping cart casually.
Ordinary toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes, water flossers, black toothpaste, herbal toothpaste, baking soda toothpaste, dental floss, mouthwash... these are all daily necessities. Mo Fei didn't look at the prices, he cleared two rows of shelves and went around to the other side.
Towels, adult laundry detergent, children's laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, floor cleaner, toilet cleaner, hand sanitizer, soap, perfumed soap, shampoo, shower gel, mosquito repellent... It will be very difficult to resume production of these industrial products in the future.
Especially the mosquito repellent. Who knows what the mosquitoes and insects will evolve into? Maybe each one will be as big as a fist. Mo Fei felt itchy just thinking about it. You have to prepare enough of these.
Mo Fei scanned the rows of goods and took a lot of wet wipes, toilet paper, tissues, and sanitary napkins. Although the ancients could use sticks and leaves to wipe their butts, Mo Fei didn't want to follow suit. When she turned to an area full of mirrors, she found that this was the skin care and makeup area.
Of course, these are also the things that are most difficult to sell recently. Now they are neatly placed on the shelves and the supply is sufficient.
Mo Fei had no interest in cosmetics at all. He mainly bought sunscreen, moisturizer and the like, and he took a dozen bottles of each and threw them into the shopping cart.
Next to the living area is the leisure food area, commonly known as the snack area. Mo Fei didn't find anything here.
Whether it's potato chips, spicy strips, nuts, preserved fruits, dried meat, or instant noodles, they're basically just samples. Next to them is a basket of labels that read: Please contact supermarket staff with the labels to pick up your items.
This supermarket has done a lot in responding to the national policy of precise purchase restrictions.
"Let's go check out the fresh produce section." Mo Fei thought to himself.
You wouldn't buy live fish, live shrimp, and the like based on the labels.
Mo Fei was right. The fish, shrimps and turtles in the fresh food area were still in the tank.
Once the supermarket loses power, meat, fish, pasta, and frozen fast food will quickly spoil. The supermarket manager is rushing to restore the power supply. However, because too many supermarket employees are on sick leave and there is a shortage of staff, everything is in chaos and there is no way to follow the power outage emergency plan.
"This one is braised, this one is steamed, this one is made into fish head with chopped pepper, this one is made into crayfish in garlic sauce, this one is made into shrimp soup..."
"Is there anyone else?" At this time, someone in the distance came over with a flashlight and waved it towards this side.
Mo Fei said, "Yes. Can you help me get this fish out?"
The staff member shone the flashlight on Mo Fei's face and then on her packed shopping cart: "Please come with me first. Shopping is suspended now."
"No. I've worked so hard to choose so many things. Don't you have an emergency generator in your supermarket?" The reason why Mo Fei said this was that he was sure that they had one.
The staff hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, there is, but for safety reasons, you should come with me first. There is no rush to leave your things here."
Mo Fei thought, I am afraid that it is not only for the safety of customers, but also for the safety of these things. In the dark, there will be people who take advantage of the situation. Although she has space, she still did not do it now.
Mo Fei responded and followed the staff towards the exit.
However, luck favored Mo Fei. He had only taken a few steps when he heard a few "pops" and the power supply that had been cut off returned to normal. It was the mall's emergency generator that started to work.
"Can you help me catch the fish?" Mo Fei remained true to his original intention.
Staff: “…”
Finally, Mo Fei got what he wanted and pushed two shopping carts to the front desk. One cart contained the daily necessities he had just selected, and the other contained aquatic products.
Because most people in the mall had been evacuated, there were only two or three customers at the front desk.
Mo Fei quickly paid the bill and walked out with the shopping cart. She pushed the shopping cart to an empty emergency exit and then put all the items into the space with a wave of her hand.
What she cared about mainly were the live shrimps and fish.
This was also the first time that Mo Fei put living things into the space. Because the space had been upgraded before and it was prompted that a breeding function had been added, she directly put these fish and shrimp into the river in the space.
After they entered the stream, they immediately calmed down and swam slowly in the river, as if this was their home.
Mo Fei observed the corn he had planted on the black soil. After such a long time of neglect, it had already produced corn balls. Mo Fei thought that he could try making some pine nut corn to try out the taste.
After dealing with these, Mo Fei quickly walked towards the underground parking lot of Changchuan Hotel.
