Chapter 68 Quality Unknown
She looked at the pitiful three vines in her hand and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Sis, that's awesome! When will I become that powerful?"
With Meng Shiwan around, the hundreds of zombies in the mall are no longer a problem.
She called to Tao Yarong, who was still in a daze, "Let's go."
Tao Yarong quickly followed behind Meng Shiwan, being extremely attentive and proactive.
She walked into a nearby jewelry store; the door was open, suggesting that all the employees inside had been killed.
No one hides gold in this shop; they have big gold bracelets, gold chains, and big diamond rings.
Tao Yarong first went to the snack shop next door to get a shopping basket, then went into the gold shop and banged on the counter, picked up the gold and silver jewelry inside, and threw them all into the basket.
Upon seeing a diamond ring the size of a pigeon's egg, Tao Yarong couldn't resist and slipped it onto her middle finger.
She even reached out to admire herself for a couple of moments before continuing her work.
I doubt any girl could resist something so sparkly.
Before the apocalypse, Tao Yarong was an ordinary person who worked diligently after graduation.
Such a large diamond ring, worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, was something I wouldn't have dared to dream of before, but now I can wear it on my finger.
Meng Shiwan then walked to another locked jewelry store, knocked heavily on the door twice, and asked, "Is the owner in?"
The people inside could clearly see how she had been dominating the scene outside.
A woman in her forties came out, and after confirming that all the zombies outside were dead, she quickly opened the door with a smile.
"Yes, I am the owner of this place."
The proprietress smiled, but her heart was bitter.
Judging from the way that girl in the shop next door quickly and skillfully smashed the counter, it was obviously a robbery.
The proprietress thought to herself, "These two are superhumans. If they really want to rob me, let them. Losing gold is better than losing my life."
To her surprise, the girl in front of her asked, "How can you prove you're the owner of this place?"
The proprietress quickly went to the counter and took out several documents. "This shop is under my name, and the business license is in my name."
Meng Shiwan glanced at it, and after finding nothing wrong, took out her phone and took a picture of her ID card.
She then said, "Find a box, put everything in it, seal the lid, and write your name on it."
The proprietress was confused; wasn't this robbery?
Do robbers still check business licenses these days?
What kind of operation is this?
She was puzzled but dared not delay. She called out to the other surviving employee, who quickly did as she was told.
The two quickly opened the cabinet, took out the jewelry, and poured it all into the storage metal box.
Meng Shiwan sat to the side waiting, and saw that although the two moved quickly, their hands and feet were unsteady and their faces were sallow.
It must have been difficult to survive for more than half a month.
Meng Shiwan saw an empty box of instant noodles in the corner of the counter, and an unused bottle of water in the corner of the wall.
The two of them must have survived until now thanks to this box of instant noodles.
The zombie outbreak has been going on for about twenty days.
In some places, there is no food, and if the survivors are too cowardly to go out and kill zombies to find food, they will starve to death.
This reason will further reduce the number of survivors by a significant margin.
She said calmly, "Keep your ID card safe. If you manage to get to the base alive, find a way to contact me. I'll give you half of the points you get from this gold, and the other half will be my service fee. My name is Meng Shiwan."
The proprietress was taken aback, genuinely not expecting Meng Shiwan to suddenly say such a thing.
She had already reassured herself that she was prepared to lose everything.
She quickly and happily thanked him, "Thank you, thank you, I'll remember."
This time, her actions of filling the metal box with gold were genuine.
They even took out some things hidden in the cabinet and put them into boxes.
Even though the other party clearly had the strength to forcibly take it, she couldn't stop them.
He said he would return half to her, so he certainly wasn't just trying to scam her for no reason.
This is great news for the proprietress.
She had been thinking these past few days that even if she could go to the base, she might not be able to keep the gold in her hands.
Gold is heavy; it's impossible to take it all with you when you leave.
Even if you take some, it's very likely that someone will have their eyes on you.
If they encountered real robbers, those two women wouldn't be able to protect the gold; they might even lose their lives.
Now this superhuman says that as long as she goes to the base and finds her, she will return half of it to her.
The proprietress herself didn't have to bear any risk, so naturally she was more than willing.
The only risk now is whether the superhuman will return it to her.
The proprietress still felt that the other party could have easily taken everything, but instead said he would return it to her, which didn't seem like he was just teasing her.
Moreover, she has no other choice but to trust this superhuman.
All the gold and silver jewelry was packed into a box. As per Meng Shiwan's request, the proprietress closed the lid, locked it, and wrote her name on it with a marker.
Afraid that it would rub off, they used several layers of tape to firmly stick it on.
She then handed the key to Meng Shiwan, saying, "Everything's all packed. Could you write down your name for me? I'm afraid I'll forget."
As he spoke, he quickly handed over some paper and a marker.
Meng Shiwan took the key, then picked up a pen and signed her name on the paper.
He then stood up, stored the iron box in his spatial storage, and strode away to the next place.
The proprietress carefully folded the paper, placed it together with her ID card, put it in a small leather bag, and slung it over her shoulder.
The employee next to her was a little worried, "Will she really pay it back?"
The proprietress sighed, "We had no choice but to trust her."
She glanced outside and, after confirming there were no zombies, said, "Let's go, let's go get some food from another store, I'm starving."
Meng Shiwan stood outside and looked around to see if there were any other gold shops.
Tao Yarong ran over carrying a basket of jewelry and placed it in front of Meng Shiwan, saying, "Sister, here, here."
Meng Shiwan put it into her spatial storage and noticed the large, sparkling diamond on her middle finger.
Tao Yarong was a little embarrassed. "Sister, we agreed that all the supplies from this trip would be yours. Can I have this diamond ring?"
Meng Shiwan smiled slightly. "Keep it."
"Thank you, sister." Tao Yarong said again, somewhat embarrassed. "Sister, I have another favor to ask."
Meng Shiwan succinctly replied, "Speak."
Tao Yarong asked expectantly, "Could you help us gather some food?"
There was no room for her, Lei Zhe, and An Jiewen; they needed to eat.
They only brought some water and compressed biscuits when they left the base; they wanted to eat something better too.
Meng Shiwan walked toward the snack shop next door.
Tao Yarong followed happily behind, showering her with compliments, "Sister, you're not only strong and beautiful, but also kind-hearted..."
The two entered the store and found that there were people inside, the owner and employees of the jewelry store from earlier.
Their eyes met.
The boss and the employees looked at the two of them with expressions that went from surprise to confusion, and then to suspicion.
They admit they are powerful and beautiful.
They weren't quite sure about the part about being kind-hearted.
After all, Meng Shiwan had just robbed their jewelry store, and they didn't know if she would ever return it.
Currently, his character is unknown.
