Chapter 19 I Finally Found You
Yan Chu had already climbed into the counter of the supermarket service center. As she searched around, she noticed the pen holder placed on the counter.
The pen holder is unremarkable, except that besides a pen, there is also a key.
Yan Chu took out the key and took a look, and found that there was a label taped to the key.
There are two words written on it: Supermarket.
Is this the supermarket key? Which door of the supermarket is this?
Yan Chu picked up the key and looked around, and suddenly found a small door half a meter wide behind the locker in the service center.
She tried to insert the key into the keyhole and turn it.
With a "click", the small door was actually opened.
Yan Chu walked in and found that it seemed to be a small room for supermarket employees to rest. There was only a simple folding bed and a shelf in it. There were some cardboard boxes filled with various sundries piled in the corner.
But besides that, there was another door next to the bed.
Although the other door was locked, it was locked from inside the room, so Yan Chu opened it effortlessly.
And behind this door is the interior of the supermarket.
The supermarket was unusually quiet. Since the outside light was completely blocked, it was almost pitch dark inside the supermarket.
Yan Chu took two steps forward in the dark and could barely make out that the shelves around her were filled with all kinds of bedding sets and daily necessities. This place seemed to be the living area of the supermarket.
Which direction is the entrance?
When Yan Chu was groping for a spot, he was suddenly tripped by something.
She staggered unsteadily and fell forward.
Yan Chu's heart tightened, and at this moment, a hand reached out from behind her in a very timely manner and tightly embraced her waist.
She subconsciously held the steady and strong hand on her waist, and then heard Gu Qinyuan's low and pleasant voice in her ears.
"Stand firm."
After releasing the hand on his waist, Yan Chu turned around and looked at Gu Qinyuan: "Why are you here?"
Gu Qinyuan said calmly, "I was worried about you, so I came here to check on you."
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Sure enough, I saw someone almost fall over."
Yan Chu: “…”
She snorted in dissatisfaction: "It's because it's too dark to see clearly."
Gu Qinyuan laughed softly, then stretched out his hand towards her:
"Give me your hand, I can see clearly."
His tone was doting, and Yan Chu was startled, and inexplicably felt his ears getting hot.
Although there are many mysteries surrounding Gu Qinyuan, for some reason, he always seems to give me a strong sense of security.
Perhaps she was too insecure as she was alone in the end times?
She pursed her lips and placed her hand in his slightly cold palm, which he then held tightly in his backhand.
Just as he said, Gu Qinyuan walked in the dark supermarket as freely as if he were at home.
She was led left and right through layers of shelves and soon arrived at the blocked entrance of the supermarket.
Yan Chu went forward and took a closer look, only to find that the shelf blocking the entrance was filled with heavy goods such as cooking oil, large electrical appliances, and pots and pans.
No wonder it won’t move no matter how hard I push it.
It was obvious that someone put it there on purpose to hold down the shelf.
Is it to protect against zombies? Or people?
But no matter which one it is, someone in this supermarket must have already gotten there first.
Outside the supermarket entrance, Chen Qianxing and Luo Yu, with the unremitting spirit of Yugong moving mountains and Jingwei filling the sea, managed to move the heavy shelves to create a small gap of about five centimeters.
As the two continued to try to widen the gap, they suddenly discovered that there was a person staring at them in the shadows behind the gap.
Chen Qianxing was startled and took several steps back.
Luo Yu, who was standing by, was shocked when he saw the person behind the shelf: "It's Yan Chu! She went in!"
Chen Qianxing: ???
No, why is she in there?
Yan Chu blinked his beautiful, innocent peach blossom eyes and pointed to her right: "There's a small door over there that you can come in through."
By the time the three people outside followed her instructions and stumbled here, ten minutes had passed.
After the two groups met up, Yan Chu led them to the shelf blocking the entrance: "Look."
When Luo Yu saw the pile of heavy objects, he subconsciously touched his palms which were rubbed raw from excessive force.
She couldn't see what was going on inside from the outside, but it was a bit outrageous that she and Chen Qianxing could actually push this shelf, which was estimated to weigh one ton, a few inches.
Luo Yu was very grateful: "Yan Chu, thank goodness you are here, otherwise we wouldn't know how to get in today."
Yan Chu shook his head: "That's not what I wanted to say."
Chen Qianxing on the side suddenly reacted.
"Is there someone already in this supermarket?"
Yan Chu narrowed his eyes coldly: "Just in case, make the worst-case plan first."
In such an extreme environment as the end of the world, the people who can survive are most likely not kind-hearted people.
Luo Yu was startled, then nodded and said, "I know... In fact, I've experienced this before in the hotel."
Although she turned a disaster into a blessing and survived in the end, she did become an abandoned pawn among the escape options at that time.
Luo Yu now understands that if he wants to protect his daughter in the apocalypse, he can't rely on anyone.
She must make herself strong, relying on herself is the only way out.
Because the supermarket covers a large area, several people groped their way around for a long time before finally reaching the food area where snacks and drinks were sold.
Although a lot of the puffed foods on the shelves here are gone, the remaining ones are still arranged neatly.
Luo Yiyi, who was being led forward by Luo Yu, suddenly couldn't walk anymore and stared at the snacks on the shelf.
Yan Chu noticed her gaze and simply took a bag of potato chips from the shelf and stuffed it into her hand.
Luo Yiyi was stunned, and immediately took the potato chips, his eyes curved into crescents.
When Yan Chu was studying what flavors of potato chips were left on the shelf, Chen Qianxing, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and quickly took a few steps back.
"I...I mean no harm."
Chen Qianxing raised his hands and stepped back repeatedly. At the same time, a man with a knife walked out from behind the corner.
His eyes were cold, and the sharp tip of the knife was pointing at Chen Qianxing's eyebrows.
Chen Qianxing subconsciously looked in the direction of Yan Chu and the others for help.
The man holding the knife also looked over. The moment he saw Yan Chu, his pupils shrank and his eyes changed suddenly.
Yan Chu: “?”
The man stared at her in shock for two seconds, then reacted and almost ran to Yan Chu.
"Yan Chu! I finally found you!"
Yan Chu: ???
