I open a supermarket in the apocalypse

On the endless desert, the low hills are rolling and undulating, and there are few people in the area of ​​a hundred miles. Only one or two wild geese fly by occasionally, and the lonely cry makes this vast world even more lonely.

A winding road runs through the plain.

At the end of the road, a Hummer drove slowly, and the faint voice of a young man humming could be heard from the car.Halfway through the drive, the singing stopped suddenly. The young man tilted his head and looked at the rearview mirror, and said to himself, "Is this the right way?"

He took out the map and looked at it. The lines on the map were distorted, like a profound abstract painting. The young man looked at it several times horizontally and vertically. After confirming the current location, he restarted the Humvee.

After about half an hour, a deserted city appeared before my eyes.

The loess was flying, and the city seemed to be covered by a layer of gray dust, and even the sight became blurred.

The city used to be a famous ancient city with a steady stream of tourists, but now it has become a ruin.

The young man was Xiang Nanchuan. He got out of the car, held the car door with his hand, and looked at the deserted city from afar.

It has been two years since I had an open and honest talk with Major General Xu Luo.In the past two years, Xiang Nanchuan has spent 80.00% of his time running supermarkets outside, except for the half year when he was injured in an attack last year and was suppressed by Chi Yan in Xizhou.

A month ago, he was finally freed.

As the first stop from Xizhou, he chose the Northwest region, which he had never been to before.

The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and most of it is wilderness. More than ten years ago, this place was a province of coal mines. Due to excessive mining, the soil here is barren and almost no grass grows.

The economy is backward, and food cannot be grown, so young people have all fled to developed areas, and the permanent population of a big city is only one million.

After the apocalypse, the benefits of this place will be revealed. Fewer people means less zombies. In addition, there is a military base here.The end of the world broke out, and the base immediately sent troops to the city to receive survivors.

The only bad thing is that the land here cannot grow food.

A few skeleton-like zombies came out staggeringly, and suddenly looked at the mummy that they thought had escaped from a coffin.They are ragged, and after several years of exposure to the sun and rain, the original color of the clothes can no longer be distinguished at all.

Xiang Nanchuan pulled out the crystal nucleus gun calmly, and a few bullets went over neatly, and the gun shot headshot.

After a short period of training, Xiang Nanchuan's marksmanship is not to say that he hits a hundred shots, nine out of ten shots is still no problem.

After waiting for a while, no zombies came out again. Xiang Nanchuan got on the Hummer and drove into the city.

The city was empty, there was no living person, the whole city was like locusts passing through, everything was swept away, and even the rolling gates of the shops on the first floor were dismantled.

The Hummer walked slowly through the urban area and headed for the suburbs in the north.

After half a day, I finally saw an oasis, where a group of sheep were leisurely drinking water by the river.Looking at the fat ones, Xiang Nanchuan, who has no shortage of meat, couldn't help but take a second look.

This reminded him of the farm that was established at the Xizhou base a year ago. When the weather was good, the employees of the farm would drive the sheep out to graze.The location of the breeding farm is not far from where he lives. During his recuperation period, Xiang Nanchuan was bored and sat on the window sill every day, staring at a group of sheep in a daze.

The farm staff thought that he wanted to eat mutton, so they hurriedly reported it, but the management staff could only reluctantly slaughter a lamb and bring it here, which really made Xiang Nanchuan dumbfounded.

Thinking of Xizhou, I can't help but think of someone. It's been almost a month since I came out, and I really miss it. Why don't I sneak back at night?

Then he sighed, forget it.As soon as he goes back, Chi Yan will put down his work again to accompany him.The base used to have a lot of business. Recently, it has housed hundreds of thousands of survivors. Chi Yan is really too busy to get away.

Coupled with the fact that several new forces are always ready to move, Chi Yan needs to sit in the base himself.Otherwise, with Chi Yan's temperament, how could he agree to let him go outside alone.

It's just that there are many people, and the target is big, and it is easy to be discovered by Sheng'an Cult. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Xiang Nanchuan was not even willing to drive the sightseeing bus.

Xiang Nanchuan has the ability to protect himself. The last time it was an accident, no one thought that a few children under the age of ten would have bombs strapped to their bodies.Fortunately, Xiang Nanchuan took back Yunyan's gold finger, and the moment he felt the danger, he deserted all the important parts of his body.Although he suffered some injuries, he managed to save his life.

When he came back from injury half a year ago, Chi Yan's face was cold for three months, even though Xiang Nanchuan pretended to be good, Chi Yan still didn't have a smiling face.How could Xiang Nanchuan blame Chi Yan for his indifference, he compared his heart to his heart, if he saw Chi Yan coming back covered in blood, his heart would be so scared that his heart would stop beating.

Thinking like this, Xiang Nanchuan stopped the car, and he felt someone coming in front of him.Xiang Nanchuan looked around and found that there was no place for him to hide.

He simply took out an invisibility potion from the warehouse and drank it with his head raised.After two years of missions, I have accumulated a lot of invisibility potions, which can be used several times from time to time.

The few people walked lightly, bent over, and looked at the sneaky ones.Finally, their eyes locked on the group of sheep drinking water, their eyes were shining brightly.Could it be that they want to catch sheep?

Xiang Nanchuan rested his chin and looked at the five people outside the window leisurely.

However, Xiang Nanchuan's Hummer was too conspicuous, and they immediately noticed it as soon as they came over. "Old Cao, there is a car here!" A person said excitedly.

Xiang Nanchuan rubbed his nose, unexpectedly forgot to put the car away.

The middle-aged man named Lao Cao said in a low voice: "No, the wheel marks are new, and the car has just been driven."

"Nobody's here, don't care. We'll drive the car away after we catch the sheep."

"Shh!"

Several people slowly touched the flock of sheep drinking water by the river.At this moment, a person rushed over and hugged a lamb.

The ewe next to him bleated angrily, pouted its hooves, and kicked the man in the waist.

There was a slight click, like the sound of bones breaking, and the man couldn't help but screamed loudly, "Ah—"

The others panicked, "Hurry up and save people!"

The older Lao Cao was furious, "This is a mutant sheep, who told you that this is an ordinary sheep!"

One was crying in anxiety, "I overheard Meng Chao!"

"You can believe Meng Chao's words!"

Is this the time to pursue responsibility? Old Cao gritted his trembling teeth and opened his hands to drive away the flock, "Woo--"

When they rescued the person, the other person still had breath, and his life was recovered, but he was injured like this, so what should he do with the follow-up treatment.

For a while, several people looked sad.

The sheep can't be eaten anymore, but fortunately there is still a car, and the few people comfort themselves.

They supported their injured companion, walked back two steps, and saw a young man standing beside the car.

The young man had clean clothes and was playing with a gun in his hand. He looked over casually.

It was clear at a glance that the other party was not easy to mess with, and they froze immediately.

Xiang Nanchuan said slowly, "Where did you get the call?"

Lao Cao pressed his companion's shoulder, stood up and said, "We are from the Northwest Base." This sentence faintly reveals information, as if telling the other party that they have a base, and they can't be killed at will.

As if Xiang Nanchuan didn't understand, he asked himself: "How far is it from here?"

"Thirty miles."

After asking Nanchuan, he waved his hand, "Okay, then you guys go."

Several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Xiang Nanchuan laughed, he didn't intend to do anything to them at first, but they looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, which made him feel embarrassed to ask a few more questions.

The predecessor of the Northwest Base was one of the country's major military regions, with various tanks and nuclear bombs. Military exercises were held on the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. If it was before the end of the world, outsiders would definitely not be able to find the location, but now, there are signposts on the road.As long as you find the right way and follow the signposts, you can find the base.

Xiang Nanchuan arrived at the base area smoothly.

He did not choose to enter the base, but found an empty house on the outskirts.

System: "The address of the Fuyunlai shopping mall has been detected. May I ask the store manager if he wants to open the 26th store?"

"Yes!"

The name of the supermarket branch is as usual, and the signboard is also rustic. Xiang Nanchuan doesn't want to take a second look at it.

After choosing the storefront of the supermarket, Xiang Nanchuan pulled out the shelves from the warehouse and began to arrange them.

Having opened more than [-] branches, Xiang Nanchuan is familiar with the arrangement of supermarkets, without the system's guidance, it can be done in a few minutes.

Xiang Nanchuan bit an apple, opened the door, and released the ninja tally staff. One person and one npc were at the door, waiting for customers to come.

He counted the time silently in his heart, 10 minutes was just right, and the first batch of customers came.

He smiled and said: "Coincidentally, we meet again, do you want to come shopping?"

Lao Cao and the others were dumbfounded.

The northwest base is located in a remote place. After the outbreak of the end of the world, the survivors below were cut off from the outside world, so they didn't know that there was a strange flower named Xiang Nanchuan who opened supermarkets everywhere.

The supermarket was on the only way to the base, so it was impossible for them not to see such an obvious store.

Lao Cao thought about it and asked, "What do you sell here?"

Xiang Nanchuan opened his mouth and said: "This store sells all kinds of meat, vegetables, fruits, corn, potatoes, rice, and wheat..." It was like reciting a jingle, and he finished the report in one breath.

Lao Cao trembled when he spoke, "How much?"

"No money."

Lao Cao blurted out his words only to realize that he had said the wrong thing. He changed his words and asked, "How to sell it? Can we go in and have a look?"

He turned to Nanchuan, "Please come in."

As soon as they walked into the supermarket, their expressions instantly became dazed.Seeing the red and juicy apples, he seemed to smell the sweet taste of apples for a moment. Lao Cao couldn't help but pick up an apple and opened his mouth to bite.

When the apple was brought to his mouth, his movements suddenly stopped. Lao Cao turned his head and saw a man covered with only a pair of big eyes clamping his hand.

Xiang Nanchuan stopped him, "I'm sorry that this store does not support tasting, please pay here, and this store can exchange for crystal cores."

Lao Cao took out his pockets all over his body, and only found two first-level crystal nuclei.

The others hurriedly took out the crystal nucleus, hugged the things in their arms, and scrambled to pay, "I want to buy rice!"

"Boss, how much is a catty of potatoes?"

Walking out of the supermarket with floating footsteps, a person pinched himself, "Old Cao, are we dreaming?"

Lao Cao carried a few apples in his clothes. The sweetness of the apples was so tempting. He couldn't resist picking up an apple and biting into it. It was sweet, crisp, refreshing, and the sweet juice filled his mouth. As if coming back to life, Lao Cao burst into tears, "I haven't eaten it for so many years, I forgot what an apple tastes like."

Lao Cao was reluctant to eat the whole apple, so he put it away after only two bites.

Among them, Lao Cao bought an apple.Food bought by others.The few people on the side watched eagerly, drooling, but Lao Cao remained unmoved.

They didn't go back to the base directly, but found a remote corner, roasted corn and potatoes, and the safest thing was to eat them in their stomachs.

After eating, Lao Cao and others touched their stomachs, and they felt so full.

They returned to the base before dark.Normally, when entering the base, one has to pay the crystal nucleus or one-fifth of the supplies obtained from the search.Fortunately, the staff on duty at the city gate today are their old acquaintances, and they went in directly after saying hello.

This place was originally a military base, and the houses were all built according to the dormitory model. The dormitory buildings are all green bricks. A dormitory is [-] square meters, with bunk and bunk beds, and can accommodate twelve people.The five of Lao Cao and the others lived in the same dormitory. They had been together for almost two years, and their relationship was very deep.

But compared to the other seven people in the dormitory, the relationship can be described as incompatible.

As soon as I walked to the door of the dormitory, I heard a burst of laughter from inside, followed by a sharp voice, "Idiots, I said they were ordinary sheep, but they actually believed it, hahahaha..."

Lao Cao clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. He pushed open the door and saw that their beds were in a mess, the quilt and pillows were thrown on the ground, and there were dirty footprints and filthy water stains on them. There was a smell of urine.A slender-eyed man stepped on the quilt with an extremely nasty expression on his face.

Lao Cao was suddenly enraged. He rushed over and grabbed the man with a slack eye by the collar, "Meng Chao, how dare you fucking lie to us! It's a mutated sheep, you want us to die?"

Meng Chao looked disapproving, and said with a smile: "You guys are doing well, just kidding, why are you so angry?"

"Old Cao, calm down!" Several people hurriedly supported Lao Cao. Fighting in the base is not a trivial matter. If they are discovered, they will be punished.

Meng Chao looked contemptuous, and laughed in his heart, coward!He straightened his collar, and suddenly his nose moved slightly, "What food did you bring back?"

The eyes of several people flickered, Lao Cao pretended to be calm, and his tone was fierce, "We came back almost dead, how can we have anything to eat?"

Meng Chao gave a "cut", "Not to mention pulling down." He turned his back and gave the other companions a quiet wink.

The few people understood, and suddenly they both started at the same time, grabbed Lao Cao, and went to search his clothes without saying a word.Meng Chao said maliciously, "Let me see what delicious food is hidden."

Lao Cao was also angry, "You fucking let go! Otherwise, I'll call someone!"

Meng Chao took out half an apple from his body, his expression was ecstatic, he didn't even care about the apple being eaten by Lao Cao, so he stuffed it into his mouth vigorously.

Lao Cao was so angry that he reached out to dig Meng Chao's mouth with red eyes.

Meng Chao covered his mouth, his mouth moved quickly, and he ate all the apples, including the belt and core, into his stomach.

"I'll fight with you!" Seeing the apple being eaten by Meng Chao, the string called reason in Lao Cao's mind instantly collapsed. He clenched his fists and punched Meng Chao in the face.
