On the bus, Grandpa Gu received a phone call from his son and daughter-in-law.
His son and daughter-in-law told him on the phone that their workplace was far from home and they could not go back, so they had to quarantine on the spot. They also said that this virus was very strange and that they could not explain it to an old man like him. In short, they told him to be careful and not to go out unless necessary.
It's just a zombie virus, why make it so mysterious?
It's impossible to explain to an old man like him!
Grandpa Gu thought to himself that he had been through more than ten years of hardship in the post-apocalyptic world, so he must know what this virus was all about: "I know, you don't need to worry about me and Xiao Bei, just take good care of yourselves!"
After seeing Grandpa Gu hang up the phone, Grandpa Li joked, "You get anxious when there's no news, but you complain when there is!"
Indeed, after the apocalypse in his previous life, he lost all contact with his son and daughter-in-law, and Grandpa Gu almost couldn't hold on. If Gu Bei hadn't needed his care, he probably would have followed him.
Fortunately, in this life, both his son and daughter-in-law are safe and sound.
Grandpa Gu chuckled twice and asked, "How is your son's family?"
Grandpa Li shook his head in disgust: "The family of three insisted on going on a trip. If I had come back a day earlier, I would never have let them go. Now look what happened, they can't come back and are directly quarantined in a hotel. My poor little grandson is still so young..."
As the two were talking, the car had already driven into the warehouse supermarket.
The timing was perfect.
The purchasing staff from the previous bus just got on.
A staff member, holding a large megaphone, addressed the crowd preparing to enter the supermarket: "After entering the supermarket, please pay attention to the time. You must return to your car within one hour. The superiors have not given a time for the next shopping trip. We suggest that you take more food that is easy to store and lasts a long time, such as rice, flour, oil, instant noodles, biscuits, and self-heating hot pot, to prepare for a long-term stay at home."
There are steps at the entrance of the supermarket.
The bus stop was about 50 meters away from the supermarket.
Fortunately, the people who shopped on the previous bus left their shopping carts where the bus was parked.
Qiao An'an put Ya Ya in the child seat of the shopping cart, and pushed the shopping cart with Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Li straight to the supermarket.
When entering the supermarket.
Qiao An'an suggested that Grandpa Gu and Uncle Li bring Gu Bei and Aunt Li to live in her small courtyard: "After all, my courtyard has a well and we can grow vegetables."
But Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Li refused, saying, "I feel this life is different. I think the relevant departments will definitely protect us this time!"
Qiao An'an also felt that many things had changed in this life.
Seeing that Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Li insisted, he didn't press the matter: "I'm right across the street. If there's any danger, you can come over immediately."
Qiao An'an's family still has some rice and oil, but in the previous life, they fought for ten years but still couldn't end the apocalypse, so no one knows when the apocalypse will end in this life, so it's better to stock up on food.
In addition to rice, flour, and oil, Qiao An'an also took a lot of instant noodles, self-heating food, frozen pork, chicken, compressed biscuits, and chocolate, as well as various vegetable seeds, comfortable sportswear of different thicknesses, and two thick quilts.
Ya Ya dragged Qiao An'an to grab a few live crucian carp from the fresh food section.
Grandpa Gu took about the same amount, but he didn't take any seeds or fish, as he didn't have room to raise them at home.
As soon as Mr. Li entered the store, he went straight to the pharmacy next to the supermarket. He had plenty of food at home, and he had also installed a water purifier and raised chickens on the roof. He was not short of food. The main reason he came this time was to get medication for his wife's high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar.
The hospital can only prescribe a one-month supply at a time.
His wife's medication was almost gone.
This time he needs to prepare more for his loved one, and also get her a new massage cushion, as the one in her wheelchair is getting a bit old.
Shopping time is limited to one hour.
More than fifty people were shopping in the supermarket, racing against time.
Grandpa Gu glanced at the Ma family in the distance and reminded Qiao An'an, "Be careful of the Ma family."
Qiao An'an told Grandpa Gu not to worry, the Ma family wouldn't be able to cause trouble for long. For safety's sake, after taking her things, Qiao An'an still went to the knife section and got a sharpened bone-chopping knife, just in case.
One hour of shopping time is over.
Security patrol officers and community workers helped everyone pack their purchases into the bus's luggage compartment and urged everyone to board so that the next group could come in to shop. When they counted the number of people, just as Qiao An'an had predicted, the Ma family of three was still stuck in the supermarket.
The staff kept urging people to hurry up using a loudspeaker.
Grandma Ma, however, calmly pulled Ma Xiaotiao along, leading Ma Teng and dragging two large shopping carts full of things, towards the bus: "What's the rush? It's only a few minutes late..."
Just as Grandma Ma Xiaotiao was speaking.
Suddenly, three people fell from the sky and landed at the feet of the Ma family.
These people were dropped down by helicopters that appeared out of nowhere.
The person fell to the ground, splattering blood all over Ma Xiaotiao's grandmother.
Grandma Ma Xiaotiao pointed to the people who had fallen beside her: "It has nothing to do with me. They jumped down on their own. You all have to be my witnesses."
The staff at the front of the bus, unaware that these people had actually turned into zombies, wanted to go forward to check on them: "Now is not the time to shirk responsibility, let's check on the people first."
The passengers on the bus all stuck their heads out of the windows, curious to know what had happened.
Only Qiao An'an, Grandpa Gu, and Grandpa Li in the car knew what was going to happen next.
Qiao An'an felt that the Ma family deserved to die.
However, the staff and security patrolmen were doing their jobs properly and shouldn't be implicated for no reason, so she stepped forward and blocked them from checking the situation: "Wait a minute."
