Chapter 755 The Apocalypse Has Truly Arrived 2
The couple were both curious and excited to see the two barrels of oil that had suddenly appeared.
"Great! We don't have to worry about our food being stolen anymore. Yan Yan, hurry up and pack up the things in the basement."
Ning Yan put the oil back into her divine palace. "Okay, I'll go now."
The couple followed their daughter to the basement, and Ning Yan waved her hand to store all the supplies into her spatial storage.
Ning's father asked, "Yan'er, will the things you put away stay fresh?"
Ning Yan nodded: "Yes, you can."
"Let's take advantage of the gas and water we still have at home and make more cooked food so it will be convenient for us to eat in the future."
Ning's mother immediately rolled up her sleeves and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"
Ning Yan said, "Then Mom and Dad, please sit down first. I'll go to our supermarket to get some pots, pans, and other food supplies. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"Dad will go with you."
Ning Yan: "But isn't it a bit unsafe for my mom to be home alone?"
Ning's parents: ...
In the end, Ning Yan went to the supermarket by herself.
Her divine palace is vast, capable of storing countless things.
Her own shopping mall only had five floors, with the supermarket on the basement level. Luckily, she arrived early, before the mall was completely destroyed.
After all, the supermarket opens at eight o'clock, but the zombie outbreak started in the early morning. The employees probably wouldn't dare to go out if they saw the zombies.
Therefore, no one came to open the mall.
Ning Yan quickly walked between the shelves, and in no time the supermarket, which was more than 400 square meters on one floor, became empty.
Ning Yan continued to the next floor. The second floor was filled with various gold shops, watch shops, and cosmetics stalls, which she bought up. Then came the third, fourth, and fifth floors.
Even though she was quick, it took her more than forty minutes to walk through all five floors.
She then went to the warehouse behind the mall. Because the original owner used to bring things home all the time, the manager was worried that the supermarket would run out of stock, so he filled the entire warehouse.
These were all bought with her own hard-earned money, and she didn't want to waste a single bit of them.
After packing everything up, Ning Yan locked the gate again and got into her car to go home.
Once home, Ning Yan busied herself with setting up numerous power strips in the living room, plugging in all the rice cookers she had bought from the supermarket, and starting to steam rice. After that, she took over the task of cooking the dishes from her mother.
Make more now, so that you won't have to stay cooped up in the kitchen by the fire when summer comes.
She arrived a little late; otherwise, she could have placed orders at various hotels, and ten days would have been enough time for her to collect a great many delicacies.
However, it's quite good that she's here now. All she has to do is cook, which she's perfectly fine with.
Previously, there was a maid at home, and Ning's mother hadn't cooked for a long time, so the dishes she made didn't look appetizing.
Ning's mother, without any embarrassment, gave up her seat and went to wash vegetables with her husband.
The maid in the house has two days off every month. She happened to take the day before yesterday and should come to work tomorrow. She won't be coming back after that, because she never appeared in the original owner's memories.
Ning Yan felt a headache coming on at the thought of having to cook for the whole family of three all by herself.
After tossing the wok for more than three hours, Ning Yan put all the cooked dishes into disposable lunch boxes and placed them in her divine abode.
For lunch, the three of them ate rice with stir-fried dishes made by Ning Yan.
"Dad, we don't need to be so frugal."
Ning's father said matter-of-factly, "You work so hard cooking, what's wrong with us saving a little?"
Ning Yan: ...I thought he would say that since the apocalypse is coming, we might not even be able to eat these things again, so we should save every penny we can.
This shows how much this father dotes on his daughter.
No wonder the couple wanted to avenge their daughter immediately after the original owner died; unfortunately, they both died in the end.
But not in this life; she will protect them until they grow old in peace.
In the afternoon, Ning Yan continued to work hard in the kitchen.
The TV in the living room was on, and many channels were broadcasting news about the zombie outbreak and related incidents.
The government has also issued a statement urging ordinary citizens to do their best to protect themselves, as the government is already working on ways to deal with the zombies and order will be restored soon.
Ning Yan should just take it with a grain of salt. COVID-19 has lasted for several years, let alone the apocalypse.
Ning's parents had already washed several basins of vegetables and were resting in the living room when a scream came from the villa next door. A moment later, two figures ran into the street. It was Mr. and Mrs. Wang from next door, with Mr. Wang holding a kitchen knife.
Ning Yan's dishes were just cooked, so she went out into the yard to look outside.
Behind the boss, Mr. Wang, was a pale-faced zombie. Judging from his clothes, it was probably his driver.
It's strange, but the zombies we usually see are like rusty machines, moving incredibly slowly. But if there's any noise or they smell a human, they'll immediately rush towards us. If you're even a little slow, they'll tear you apart and eat you alive.
Not every family is as lucky as the Ning family. When the apocalypse broke out, there were only three members in the family, and none of them turned into zombies.
His servants and drivers all live in his house.
The driver turned into a zombie.
The maid ran out in the chaos.
"Help! Murder!"
The loud crying was coming from the woman next door, because her and her husband's only son had been eaten by the driver who was a zombie.
If her husband hadn't protected her, she would have been torn apart by the zombies just now.
Ning's mother's eyes showed reluctance.
Ning Yan reminded her, "Mom, this is the apocalypse. People could die right before your eyes at any moment. If you care about others, you might lose your life at any time."
Ning's mother: "Don't worry, your mother doesn't have the ability to save people, she won't do anything reckless. It's just that it's still painful to see it with my own eyes."
Ning's father: "Old Wang is stupid too. What's that knife for? Go and cut him!"
Ning Yan said, "You can only cut off a zombie's head. Otherwise, even if its arms and legs are broken, it will continue to attack people."
"Can I tell Lao Wang?"
Ning Yan said, "Of course it's possible. Besides, the warning post before the apocalypse already announced the method for killing zombies. Dad can post it in the residents' group."
Upon hearing his daughter's words, Ning's father immediately went out of the living room and shouted at Old Wang outside, "Old Wang, cut off the zombie's head, cutting off the body won't work."
Upon hearing this, Boss Wang, who had already run past the Ning family's door, decided to stop running. This damned man had eaten his son! His son, so alive and well, was gone just like that! He wanted to avenge his son!
He pulled his wife behind him, raised the kitchen knife, and slashed at the zombie's neck before quickly retreating.
The zombie had only recently mutated and didn't have any special abilities; it just instinctively wanted to eat people. Boss Wang slashed at its neck with his knife, and a bluish-black substance immediately spurted out from its neck, but it didn't break off.
The zombie was still instinctively searching for the scent of living people, and soon walked towards Boss Wang. Boss Wang struck the zombie's neck again, and the zombie's head finally fell off.
Once he was sure the thing really couldn't stand up and attack people anymore, Boss Wang ran to a distance, squatted down, and vomited.
