The rescue team had no time to dwell on this issue, and the logistics department, apart from constantly apologizing, was unable to quickly arrange for a large quantity of bottled water.
Surprisingly, there is still one surviving supermarket in this neighborhood.
The rescue team came with a "let's give it a try" attitude, hoping to buy as much water as they could.
"Okay, I'll give you a discount."
Hua Mi laughed upon hearing this. She put down the case of bottled water she was holding, walked back to the supermarket counter, took out her calculator, and started calculating rapidly. Then she asked the rescue team leader who had followed her in...
How much water do you want to buy?
The rescue team leader, with his sharp, dark eyes, stared intently at the hickeys on Hua Mi's neck, his voice not very pleased.
"I'll take as many as you have."
"I have ten thousand bottles of water."
She stood behind the counter doing the accounting. Although she had over 20,000 bottles of mineral water in her Level 1 warehouse, she still needed to keep 10,000 bottles in reserve.
After speaking, Hua Mi looked up at the rescue team leader and asked again:
Do you want them all?
The lifeguard standing behind the captain whispered:
"Captain, we don't need that much. The logistics department will procure the supplies for us, and they should arrive soon."
"Then let the logistics department come here to make the purchases. This is a matter of life and death; we don't have time to let them waste any more time."
The rescue team leader gestured with his chin towards Hua Mi, took out his phone, and said to Hua Mi:
"Come on, add me on WeChat, I'll transfer the money to you, and you can get reimbursed by the rescue team's logistics department later."
Hua Mi took out her phone, unsure whether to accept it or not, and added the captain on WeChat. Upon looking at his WeChat profile picture, she saw a woman's head turned away from the camera as she slept.
The woman's hair was the same length as hers, revealing a bit of her milky white nape. On one of her bare shoulders, there was a deep purplish-red hickey.
The person's WeChat profile picture is so mismatched with his tough and unyielding personality.
"My name is Gong Yi."
The captain nodded to Hua Mi and asked,
What's your name?
"Hua Mi".
Hua Mi added Gong Yi on WeChat and calculated a price for him.
Gong Yi had no objections and directly transferred 20,000 yuan to Hua Mi, then asked:
"Your supermarket is so small, how can it hold ten thousand bottles of water?"
"I have supply channels that I can temporarily adjust."
After Hua Mi accepted the transfer, the lifeguards who came with Gong Yi took away the small pile of bottled water that was piled up outside the supermarket.
There are only a little over a hundred bottles, which is definitely not enough. They will come back for more later.
Gong Yi did not leave with his teammates; instead, he began to wander around the supermarket.
Hua Mi let Gong Yi wander around the supermarket. When he came to the door of the Level 1 warehouse, Hua Mi's heart tightened. She looked up and was about to say that the door could not be opened when she saw that Gong Yi seemed not to have seen the door in front of him and glanced over it.
He seemed unable to see the door to the Level 1 warehouse.
But he still keenly noticed her unusual behavior and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask, what have you been wandering around for?"
She found it strange; Gong Yi's subordinates had all left with bottled water, so why wasn't he busy yet? Were there few rescue missions?
Gong Yi didn't answer but asked a question in return.
"Is your supermarket in a new development? Why are the shelves so empty?"
"Yes, that's right."
While tidying up the counter, Hua Mi casually responded to Gong Yi. After a while, seeing that he still hadn't left, she said:
"Have you been quite free on your rescue missions lately? If you have nothing to do, stock up on supplies at home and have your logistics department buy more supplies. I feel like the weather is getting colder and colder, and I'm afraid there might be a snow disaster this year."
As they were talking, Hua Mi looked up when she didn't hear Gong Yi respond.
She saw Gong Yi leaning against an empty shelf, arms crossed, his dark eyes staring at her intently.
Hua Mi's heart skipped a beat, feeling as if she were being watched by a hunter. Just as she was about to ask a question, her WeChat rang again.
It was Fang Xin who sent the video request.
Hua Mi immediately cut off the call, and a moment later, Fang Xin sent a barrage of text messages.
[Fang Xin: Sister, did you sell the ancestral home?]
[Fang Xin: Wow, sister, that's amazing! I heard it sold for a lot of money, was it at least 300,000?]
Fang Xin: Sister, you know I recently graduated and want to buy a house, but I'm a little short on money. Could you give me the money from selling our ancestral home, and I'll use it as a down payment for the house I've got my eye on?
[Fang Xin: I know my sister loves me the most. I love you! Sister, I'm coming to get the money right now and bring you some delicious food.]
Hua Mi was originally thinking of blocking Fang Xin, but after seeing Fang Xin's text message, she couldn't help but sneer and typed back:
[Hua Mi: What does my family's ancestral home have to do with you?]
[Hua Mi: I've spent all my money. I have no more money, but if you want my life, come and take it if you dare!]
As she was sending messages, Hua Mi suddenly felt a darkness above her head; it was Gong Yi standing in front of her.
He looked so tall that his shadow completely covered her.
"Are you chatting with your cheating boyfriend?"
Gong Yi crossed his arms and asked, his dark eyes still fixed on Hua Mi.
She shook her head.
"Chatting with a jerk, huh? How did you know...?" My boyfriend cheated on me?
Before Hua Mi could finish her question, Gong Yi turned and left the supermarket. His communicator, which was hanging on his waist, rang.
It looks like survivors have been found in the ruins again.
Before leaving, he turned back and glanced at Hua Mi.
"Don't look for men in garbage dumps anymore."
"ah?"
Before Hua Mi could react, Gong Yi's figure disappeared at the supermarket entrance.
After he left, Hua Mi quickly opened the [Apocalypse Supermarket] shop and checked her supermarket earnings, which showed a balance of yuan.
This is just enough to activate a level 1 factory.
Hua Mi didn't hesitate any longer and activated it directly.
She thought a factory would suddenly appear out of nowhere next to her supermarket, but it didn't.
The Lianhua Shengxing Supermarket hasn't changed at all.
Besides the supermarket, Hua Mi looked around and then opened the door to the Level 1 warehouse. As soon as she entered, she found that there was another door in her Level 1 warehouse, which was already full of supplies.
She hurriedly opened the door, inside which was a conveyor belt. There was an LCD panel on the door displaying the products that Hua Mi could currently produce.
[Level 1 Factory: Mineral Water Bottles (550ml)]
So she spent 10,000 yuan to get the ability to produce mineral water bottles?
What use is this feature to her? She doesn't need to collect mineral water bottles to sell as scrap!
Unable to hide her disappointment, Hua Mi closed the small door of the Level 1 factory, returned to the supermarket, and sat behind the counter to continue calling the supplier.
She ordered 10,000 packs of instant noodles.
After all, in a post-apocalyptic world where resources are scarce, people can turn into monsters for a mouthful of rotten food.
If she had 10,000 yuan worth of instant noodles, a single bite in a critical moment would be enough to ensure her survival for a long time in the apocalypse.
