Chapter 11 Camping Next to the Supermarket
On the street across from the supermarket, there was a stealthy, burly man. When he saw what had just happened, he was so scared that his eyes almost popped out.
"I was scared to death..." Xiong Mingming touched his chest, took a deep breath, and decided to go back first.
He knew that no one would open a proper supermarket in the apocalypse. Who would have the supplies to open a store? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for themselves? It must be a black shop!
Just now he saw someone flying out of the supermarket. It was probably the boss who relied on his supernatural powers to cheat people under the guise of the supermarket.
Fortunately, he was smart and didn't risk going in directly. He decided to go back to find Sister Yang Liu and ask about the situation.
Xiong Mingming folded his arms and ran into a street without looking back.
"Did Sister Yang Liu lie? That shouldn't be the case..." Xiong Mingming scratched his head and smacked his lips as he walked.
“Crack.”
The temperature around him suddenly dropped, and a chill rushed towards Xiong Mingming, causing his feet to gradually freeze.
"Stop, don't move."
Cheng Xu walked out from behind him with a stern face and a cold tone.
Xiong Mingming was so scared that he was shaking. Although the cold air was very refreshing in such a hot temperature, he didn't want to be frozen into a popsicle.
"Ice-type mutant? Big... Big brother, we have no grudges against each other. I have nothing on me, but I still have a little food at home. Please let me go first..."
Although Xiong Mingming is a burly 1.9-meter-tall man, he is actually a soft persimmon and as timid as a mouse.
Before the end of the world, he worked as a game leveling agent at home. He was a real 2D fat otaku. His house was full of food and drinks, and he didn't take them out for a month.
He was considered lucky. Before the end of the world, his parents' canned food business failed. They took a warehouse full of canned food and left it at his house before leaving.
Xiong Mingming has survived until now thanks to a warehouse full of canned food. His weight, which used to be over 200 pounds, has now dropped to less than 140 pounds.
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you know Yang Liu?" Cheng Xu interrupted him.
Xiong Mingming was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "I know her. Sister Yang Liu encountered zombies before, and I was the one who opened the door and let them in!"
Cheng Xu calmly put away the ice blade, not knowing whether the words were true or not, and said, "Take me to find her."
Xiong Mingming didn't dare disobey. With a droopy face, he kept complaining in his heart, "Sister Yang Liu, I'm sorry. I don't know if he's your enemy, but I can't help it. I was forced... I shouldn't have come to this supermarket earlier. What bad luck..."
A few days ago, he saw Yang Liu fighting zombies at the window, so he opened the door and let the mother and son hide in the house, and they successfully resisted the zombies chasing her.
In return, Yang Liu took out a pack of chocolate biscuits and water, and told him the exact location of Lucky Supermarket.
He hadn't wanted to risk going out, but the cookies were so good, and he only had one can of food left at home...
After walking for more than half an hour, the two finally arrived at an old residential area.
Most of the floors in the community were severely damaged and collapsed. Only the first and second floors of the unit where Xiong Mingming lived were relatively intact, and his home was on the first floor.
Xiong Mingming was now at the door of his house. He lowered his head, took out the key, and opened the door in a hurry.
"Xiaohang, come here and drink some water."
"Mom, it's Mingming who's back~"
The familiar voice in the house woke Cheng Xu outside the door as if from a dream.
This time the team was almost wiped out, and he also escaped death. When he heard the voices of his wife and children again, his eyes were a little moist.
"Brother Mingming... eh? Dad... Dad?! Mom, it's Dad! It's Dad!" Xiao Hang came to the door and looked at Xiong Mingming and Cheng Xu standing together. He almost thought he was dreaming.
He rubbed his eyes. It was his father. He jumped up on the spot excitedly and kept calling Yang Liu in the house.
Yang Liu leaned forward, holding the water bottle. "Old Cheng! It really is you!"
The woman put down the mineral water with trembling hands and rushed directly into Cheng Xu's arms, crying loudly. Xiao Hang also hugged his father and mother and cried with him.
The long-awaited reunion of the family of three left Xiong Mingming dumbfounded. "Huh, it turns out we are a family. I thought it was my eldest sister's enemy... It was a false alarm."
"I'm sorry for offending you just now, young man. Thank you." Cheng Xu wiped his wife's tears and turned to bow to Xiong Mingming.
"No...it's okay." Xiong Mingming waved his hands, his face slightly red.
Several people went into the house and talked to each other about what had happened recently.
"Lucky Supermarket... I went there too, haha!" When Cheng Xu heard his wife talking about this magical supermarket, they smiled at each other.
The name of the store really lives up to its name, and those who come across it are extremely lucky.
Yang Liu is very grateful to Lucky Supermarket. If she hadn't bought supplies there, she and her son would have died of thirst and starvation.
"Brother Cheng, sister-in-law, are you sure that supermarket sells supplies?" Xiong Mingming asked in a low voice.
"Sure." The two said in unison.
Xiao Hang nestled in Yang Liu's arms, sniffed, and said, "Brother Mingming, don't you believe us? My mom bought the water and biscuits you gave me from Lucky Supermarket. The girls there are so beautiful, the most beautiful people I've ever seen."
"But I just saw..." Xiong Mingming recounted the scene he saw of a small boss violently beating up several big men.
Cheng Xu chuckled after hearing this and said, "Supermarkets have their own rules. Those people you saw probably wanted to steal some supplies, so it's normal for them to be punished by the boss..."
He also briefly introduced the supermarket's points and hardware regulations.
Xiong Mingming finally understood. It wasn't difficult to understand. It was the end of the world, and there were more vicious people. If they came across a supermarket with supplies, there would definitely be people with bad intentions.
"This place is too dirty and too small. I have an idea. When I was looking for you and Xiaohang these days, I found a place. It's a small apartment. The first five floors are habitable. The most important thing is that it's very close to Lucky Supermarket! Let's move there together." Cheng Xu's eyes flashed.
He had planned it long ago and set up camp around Lucky Supermarket!
Go to the Tomorrow Base or the Hope Base.
Just to enter the base, you have to pay three first-level crystal cores. A small piece of expired compressed biscuits costs up to five first-level crystal cores, and water resources are so expensive that it is suffocating.
You also have to pay accommodation fees and management fees every month...
Lucky Supermarket is the hope of his family. They can eat fresh and hot meals at low prices and of good quality. As long as they work hard to kill zombies and save crystal cores, their future life will be guaranteed!
Xiaohang is almost seven years old, but he looks as thin as a four or five-year-old. This is the time when he needs nutrition, and the supplies in the supermarket are of excellent quality.
Yang Liu definitely agreed with her husband's idea, and she didn't mind bringing Xiong Mingming along.
There are not many people who can save you in the end times, and Xiaohang also likes Xiong Mingming very much.
Xiong Mingming stared blankly at his doghouse. He thought to himself, I don't have much skills, and there's no food at home, so I might as well follow the big brother in front of me.
Brother Cheng is a person with special abilities. I can learn how to kill zombies by following him. Once I have the crystal core, I can go to the supermarket to buy supplies. In that way, my basic life will be guaranteed.
Yes! That's it.
Several people shared the same idea and immediately asked Xiong Mingming to pack up and head to the small apartment near the supermarket.
Apart from clothes, Xiong Mingming had nothing else to take. He carefully took down the "wives" hanging on the wall, each of which was a cute cartoon character.
After a while, Xiong Mingming hugged his favorite anime-shaped pillow, put on his backpack and left with Cheng Xu's family.
Song Ze was in the small apartment, eating instant noodles with mineral water.
He didn't know yet that several neighbors would be moving in downstairs from him.
