Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies-Chapter 107 - : Damn Sweet
Chapter 107: Damn Sweet
Every person who came to the supermarket got into a fight with the plants, either getting beaten by them or giving the plants a beating.
Countless people had died on this path.
The outside of the cave was overgrown with various kinds of plants.
The people at the base were puzzled; the mountain used to be barren, so why had so many plants suddenly sprouted?
But no matter how puzzling it was, there were more pressing problems to consider.
The temperature had risen to a comfortable level, and the floodwaters had receded. They needed to decide whether or not to move back down from the mountain.
...
Humans are animals that need their privacy. Living in a cave, in such a small space, could become unbearable over time.
They had already cleared some of the base below, and after all, moving back wouldn’t be too troublesome.
The main issue was that there were simply too many plants on the mountain.
The mouth of the cave was completely covered.
At night, while people slept and their guard was down, the plants at the cave entrance would occasionally send a vine inside, wrap it around a person, and drag them away.
No one wanted to fall asleep and end up losing their life.
They had people cut down the plants at the entrance of the cave, but in just a few minutes, ‘pop’, the plants grew back up from the ground.
They were utterly unstoppable.
Moreover, although the base below was damaged, it seemed to have fewer plants, perhaps because people had lived there before.
At least it wasn’t as rampant as the plants on the mountain.
It was also easier to clean up.
The leaders of the base gathered to discuss and decided to have everyone move back.
For this purpose, some people even bought knives from Su Yinhe with their Crystal Cores.
The leaders at Sun Base were all aware of Su Yinhe’s existence, and a few had even met her in person.
After arriving at the supermarket, they knew at first glimpse that she was no ordinary person.
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
They sent people to test her, and none had a good outcome.
Furthermore, they already knew about the incident with Lin Nianbei leading the Superpower Users in a grand attempt to move supplies from the supermarket only to be struck by lightning. No fool dared to approach Su Yinhe and ask her to give away supplies for free.
They all tacitly chose to barter with Crystal Cores when doing business with her.
Su Yinhe now maintained a very delicate relationship with the leaders of Sun Base.
They did big business with her using Crystal Cores, and she gave them discounts.
However, the more they interacted, the more the leaders felt nervous about Su Yinhe.
At the same time, they were relieved they hadn’t crossed her.
As for their colleague Lin Nianbei, who had offended Su Yinhe, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
The plants on the mountain were just too many, and the descent was extremely difficult.
On their way down, many people were directly captured by the plants and never returned.
To ensure the survival of more ordinary people, the base ordered the Superpower Users to clear a path, taking turns to harvest the plants. Then the ordinary people would quickly move while the plants hadn’t regrown, with the Superpower Users cutting off the path behind them.
But even so, many cunning plants would stretch their vines from afar and whisk away a person.
Superpower Users could only do their best to watch over the ordinary people, but sometimes they could not even look after themselves. Some were taken by the plants, and all they could do was sigh internally.
Then they continued the struggle against the damned plants.
Lin Murong brandished a long watermelon knife, hacking, hacking, hacking… carving a path.
Chi Yan followed leisurely behind him.
Lin Murong: “…”
So infuriating.
Why should he have to work so hard?
Sure enough, the high-level crystal core Chi Yan gave wasn’t easy to earn.
Last night, Chi Yan had given him several high-level Crystal Cores to be more diligent today.
So, he took on the hard work of cutting down the plants, while Chi Yan followed like a noble son, waiting for the path to be cleared.
Sigh…
Money is hard to earn.
Lin Murong continued to hack away.
He wondered whom he was imagining the plants to be.
Chi Yan walked and polished the Crystal Cores as he went.
He wanted to make a bracelet for Su Yinhe with the Crystal Cores.
The Crystal Core had been selected and matched in color, but it still needed further polishing to ensure both the color and shape were attractive.
There were too many people; it took five days for the base to relocate everyone down the mountain.
Some more time was spent burning and eradicating the overgrown plants at the base.
Then everyone went back to their place to make repairs.
But when many returned home, they found their homes were gone.
Only one wall remaining.
There was no choice but to either find an empty house or to just rough it and make do with what was available.
However, the houses in the base, soaked, sun-beaten, and buried in snow, were mostly as fragile as paper.
So most people still made do with their shattered homes, lacking even a proper roof.
Chi Yan’s home was gone, too.
The building he lived in had collapsed entirely.
Lin Murong went back to check his house, which had thoroughly collapsed. He then scurried back since he had to stick with Brother Chi.
At least with Brother Chi, there was a tent to live in.
It was Lin Murong who was responsible for setting up the tent.
He had become quite adept at it, setting it up quickly and well.
Chi Yan rarely complimented him, so when he did, Lin Murong was so delighted he was beside himself.
“Brother Chi, I must have heard wrong. You’re praising me; you actually praised me.” Lin Murong was so happy that he ate two extra bowls of rice that night.
But as for those two extra bowls, he felt it was due to the weariness from cutting down plants.
Chi Yan: “…”
In just a few days, the base began to rebuild.
Everyone had experience and worked with a lively enthusiasm.
Su Yinhe also took the opportunity to move the supermarket back to its original location.
She accidentally crushed the plants that had grown there, enraging them as they furiously attacked the supermarket.
The supermarket fought back in anger, sending electric shocks to fend off the plants.
Watching this unfolding, Su Yinhe actually found it somewhat appetizing.
Eating from her bowl, she watched the drama, occasionally glancing at the supermarket and the plants outside brawling.
It truly made her meal more enjoyable.
Su Yinhe had informed Chi Yan and the others in advance about moving the supermarket, as well as the customers who shopped there.
However, the base’s exterior plants grew wildly, and as everyone was busy with construction, there weren’t many visitors initially.
Only Chi Yan showed up the next day.
Bringing along a strand of beaded bracelet.
Very delicate.
“Did you make this?” Su Yinhe picked it up for a closer look.
Chi Yan nodded and then watched her, with a look as if he wouldn’t rest until she put it on.
Deciding not to toy with a man’s heart, Su Yinhe, who intended to refuse, was at a loss for words.
Alright.
Su Yinhe reached out to put it on.
But Chi Yan beat her to it, picking up the bracelet, “Let me.”
His fingertips graced Su Yinhe’s wrist, fastening the bracelet in just a few swift moves.
It was a brief moment, but to Su Yinhe, it felt rather long.
In that instant, she clearly heard her own heartbeat.
Thud, thud, thud…
Could her heart really beat this fast?
Su Yinhe forgot what she said to Chi Yan afterwards, and also when exactly he had left.
All she knew was, after Chi Yan left, she sat on the chair, leaning over the table, feeling like she might really lose control.
Unable to resist making a move on him.
Unable to resist toying with him.
This man, damnably sweet.
