Hua Mi looked at her small supermarket with a headache and started to take out her phone to find a warehouse. To be on the safe side, she had to find a safe warehouse to store the supermarket's supplies within a month.
While browsing rental websites, Hua Mi suddenly felt the ground shake beneath her feet, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
An earthquake?
But there was no earthquake in my past life, so how come?
Before Hua Mi could figure it out, debris fell from the roof. She hid in a corner, and in the weightlessness, she was crushed in the ruins of the supermarket.
Amidst the terrifying earthquake, Hua Mi discovered a screen appearing in front of her in the chaos.
[Opening the Post-Apocalyptic Supermarket...]
[Your supermarket name: Lotus Prosperity]
[Enable storage functionality...]
[Lianhua Shengxing Supermarket Warehouse Level 1 (Space 1)]
[Start inventory scan...]
【A-level hidden danger detected: Insufficient supermarket stock prevents unlocking of Warehouse Level 2 (2x1 space)】
[Start security scan...]
【!! S-level hidden danger detected. Supermarket defenses are insufficient, unable to activate Level 1 (1 square meter) black soil in the supermarket backyard】
"What is this?"
Hua Mi was somewhat puzzled. Wasn't it an earthquake?
When did this screen appear?
In the narrow ruins, Hua Mi reached out and touched something, but her fair and slender hand passed through the screen in front of her, and she quickly withdrew her hand.
Having lived in the apocalypse for several years, Hua Mi had seen many people with superpowers, possessing all sorts of strange abilities, so she wasn't too alarmed by this strange phenomenon.
She pondered it repeatedly.
So she's awakened her superpowers ahead of schedule? And they're different from the ones she awakened in her previous life?
No, no, no, it's good enough that she had the ability to grow plants in her past life. She's still waiting to activate her ability and grow all kinds of crops.
How did she awaken the superpower of "Apocalyptic Supermarket"?
After the earthquake subsided, Hua Mi, supporting herself against the nearby clutter, stood up in the messy little supermarket.
The reason it looked messy was because the earthquake had shaken all the goods off the supermarket shelves to the ground.
Fortunately, the small supermarket that Hua Mi had just taken over did not collapse.
A series of wailing and howling sounds came from outside; it was the cries of people trapped in the rubble during the earthquake.
Hua Mi struggled to move through the chaotic supermarket, finally reaching the direction of the roller shutter door.
She tried to open the door, but it was blocked by rubble from the ruins and she couldn't open it at all.
So she had to go back and search her own supermarket, where she discovered that there was an extra back door.
She pushed open the door in front of her, revealing a neat, square, white room inside.
The room was empty; there was nothing inside.
"This is... what... Level 1 Warehouse?"
Hua Mi recalled the notification panel that had just appeared in front of her; this Level 1 warehouse was even larger than her Lotus Shengxing Supermarket.
Hua Mi immediately became happy.
She turned around and went back to the supermarket, carrying all the scattered goods into her Level 1 warehouse.
She put rice, flour, cooking oil in one pile, snacks in another, hardware in another, and household goods in yet another. She also brought in the thousand winter coats and put them in a separate pile. And of course, she didn't forget the various seeds.
Like a hamster, she painstakingly moved everything from her small supermarket into a Level 1 warehouse amidst the earthquake ruins.
By the time I picked up the last bag of instant noodles that had fallen to the ground, Lianhua Shengxing Supermarket had been almost completely tidied up. All the goods were left with only a small amount of instant noodles and water, which were still placed on the shelves.
The rest of the shelves were empty, and Huami's Level 1 warehouse was not yet full.
As Hua Mi, sweating profusely, tore open a packet of instant noodles and munched on it, the sound of stones being moved came from outside the roller shutter door.
The rescue team has arrived.
She calculated the time; at this time in her previous life, the world was still relatively normal, social functions were still operating, and rescue teams would arrive very promptly.
The stones outside the roller shutter door were moved aside, the door was opened, and a lifeguard shone a flashlight into the supermarket, saying strangely:
"It's all neat and tidy inside, there's nothing wrong with it."
"And there are lights for illumination."
It's a miracle that this small supermarket remained intact compared to the other collapsed buildings.
Several rescue team members pushed the roller shutter door up a little, bent down and walked in. Just as they were about to call out if anyone was alive, Hua Mi came around from behind the shelves.
"It's probably because the supermarket was built with earthquake-resistant features."
She explained why her supermarket didn't collapse during the earthquake disaster.
"Hey, that startled me."
A lifeguard jumped to the side and looked at Hua Mi by the shelf. The scene looked eerie no matter how you looked at it.
They had been rescuing people in these ruins for over ten hours, and everyone they rescued was in a miserable state. They had never seen a survivor as calm and collected as Hua Mi.
It's probably because she wasn't seriously injured, and the supermarket had good earthquake-proofing measures.
Hua Mi went behind the counter, took out a few bottles of mineral water, placed them on the counter, and asked the lifeguards with a smile.
"You've worked hard, have some water."
The rescue teams at this time were still very caring, unlike after the apocalypse, when all the rescue teams were wiped out in the initial natural disasters of the apocalypse.
The rescue teams that were later established were almost like mercenaries in nature.
In other words, don't expect them to help rescue people unless you pay them.
Therefore, Hua Mi still has a good impression of the current rescue team.
Several lifeguards, their faces dark, drenched in sweat and fully equipped, licked their dry, cracked lips with a simple, honest expression. Since the people in the supermarket were alright, they were in a hurry to rescue others.
However, I am a little thirsty.
Some lifeguards started taking out money, but Hua Mi stopped them and stuffed a bottle of mineral water into their hands.
"It's free, you can have it for free."
The men were very embarrassed, afraid that Hua Mi would refuse, so they forcibly put down the money, grabbed the bottled water, and hurriedly ran out of the supermarket.
Hua Mi picked up the money from the counter, intending to chase after the lifeguards and return the money, but the semi-transparent panel suddenly reappeared in front of her.
[Activate! POS system...]
[For Sale: 3 bottles of mineral water, Price: 10 yuan, Profit: 7 yuan.]
Wow, it's this convenient? So what can I do with the money I receive?
Hua Mi found it very strange, since in the apocalypse, these paper and electronic banknotes were useless.
This "Apocalypse Supermarket" even has a POS system. Does that mean it's supposed to open its doors and do business or something?
Just as she thought of this, a shop quickly appeared on the semi-transparent panel in front of Hua Mi. There were many gray buildings on it, and these buildings required money to activate.
