My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

Chapter 57 Mission Location

"Tch, chickened out. I thought he was fearless." Shan Nai sneered as she saw Zhou Mo's disheveled state in the rearview mirror.

[Host, Zhou Mo seems to be deliberately avoiding conflict with us. Is he afraid the system will just send him away? That's too cunning.]

The system was fuming.

"Oh yeah, but it's okay. I won't bother others unless they bother me."

Overall, the supermarket's defense and punishment system is passive; only violators and those who harm the host can be punished.

This Zhou Mo is quite shrewd, the system secretly gave him an evaluation.

Zhou Mo was indeed terrified by Shan Nai's incredible ability to "disappear into the world".

He had already been blacklisted by the supermarket and didn't know how much supernatural energy Shan Nai possessed, so he dared not risk offending her again.

After all, Zhou Mo also wanted to get his hands on Lucky Supermarket, and he couldn't act recklessly before Professor Feng's plan was implemented.

Zhou Mo is currently chasing after him with all his might.

Because he was wary of Yamana's overwhelming abilities, he didn't dare drive the car that his subordinates had, fearing that Yamana would discover it. Instead, he found a broken bicycle and pedaled furiously all the way.

at the same time.

Inside the temporary hideout of the four-person group in City A, Yan Junli was being thoroughly berated by Professor Feng.

Yan Junli kept his head down, barely daring to breathe.

It was indeed his fault.

Early in the morning, he turned his head to urinate, and the supermarket owner was gone.

Yan Junli was utterly astonished and speechless.

"Useless! Useless! You can't even keep an eye on a young girl. You're just wasting air! Cough cough cough..." Professor Feng was so angry that he was panting and coughing violently.

Feng Qingrui lowered her eyes, glared at Yan Junli, and quickly took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Professor Feng.

"Dad, don't be angry. Yan Junli is a person too. She needs to eat, drink, and relieve herself. Her base is here. She won't go far. Let's just wait here. Zhou Mo hasn't come back either."

When Yan Junli heard the goddess he had secretly loved for so long speak up for him, he was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

"Eat, eat, all you do is eat! Eating less won't kill you, it'll just make you pee less! You're driving me crazy!" Professor Feng was genuinely angry.

He had never uttered a single swear word before, but today, saying these words in front of Feng Qingrui, Yan Junli was mortified.

Her ears turned bright red, and she didn't dare to look up at Feng Qingrui's expression.

They've all gone far away, what else can be done?

Professor Feng could only sit aside, clutching his secret weapon, and sulk.

He was now desperately hoping that Zhou Mo would bring his men over as soon as possible. He was extremely anxious, as if his heart was being torn apart, until he caught Shan Nai.

An hour later, Shannai's car finally drove to the vicinity of the pit again.

"Phew! We're here. It's true what they say, the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows; so much trouble on this trip..."

Shanna put on her sun hat, got out of the car, and stretched.

She had considered keeping a low profile, but opening a supermarket in the apocalypse was already quite conspicuous.

Fortunately, the system provided her with strong protection.

She had cultivated in seclusion for many years, yet she was still unlucky enough to be struck by lightning.

So, it's the end of the world, why bother keeping a low profile?

As long as she manages the supermarket diligently and upgrades it properly, no one can touch her.

The thought that I might encounter even more dangerous people or things in the future is unbearable.

She must first complete the search for the five different types of alien energy to achieve a unified connection between her own defensive shield and the supermarket before she can feel completely at ease.

Shannai walked lightly to the front of the pit, and the small red dot on the screen was indeed faintly visible.

"System, this red dot is so blurry, could it be at the bottom of a pit?"

Shannai tried several different positions, and only when facing the bottom of the pit did the little red dot flash relatively brightly.

"Hmm, I think so... The system hasn't done this kind of task before either. Shall we go down and take a look together?"

Shan Nai closed the background task navigation interface and nodded in agreement.

Having learned from her previous experience of going down into the pit, Yamana was much more skilled this time.

They quickly reached the bottom of the pit.

Rotting corpses, mutilated chunks of flesh from mutated animals, piles of packaging bags, and swarms of maggots and flies.

Shan Nai pinched her nose, a hint of displeasure on her face, her brows furrowing slightly.

The mission navigation suggests going left, as the pit is very large and you won't see sunlight unless you're in the central part.

Shan Nai rummaged through her small bag, took out a powerful flashlight she had prepared in advance, and quickly walked towards the marked spot, choosing a relatively clean open space on the ground.

Finding it sooner, finishing it sooner, and going home sooner—that was Shan Nai's only thought at that moment.

However, when they reached the base of the wall, there was no way forward. Shan Nai stood still, shone her small flashlight on the wall, and patted it with her hand.

"The little red dot is still lit, but there's no way out. Could it be behind the wall?" Shan Nai put her hands on her hips and bit her lip.

[Host, don't panic. Let me scan and analyze this huge pit first.]

...

[Found it! I see. Host, analysis shows that this wall connects to a secret passage in an air-raid shelter. The entrance was likely concealed by a ground collapse.]

"Wow, my system is amazing! That means the quest item we need is in the air-raid shelter behind the wall!" Maeyama Nai clapped her hands lightly, feeling much more relaxed.

It's not enough to just search blindly.

Shan Nai pulled out a golden pistol and fired several shots quickly at the wall.

The explosive ice shockwave instantly created a large hole in the wall surface.

After several tremors, the collapse surface on the square side of the pit began to spread towards the road surface.

With a loud 'boom,' the crater behind them grew even larger, with dirt and stones falling down continuously.

[Host, hurry and leave! The pit is collapsing even more severely; the mud and sand will cover it up soon.]

Shanna's expression was slightly serious. Before the mud and sand fell, the protective shield on her body had already automatically activated.

A nearly transparent circular dome safely sheltered her. Shan Nai, carrying a small flashlight, crouched down and crawled into the air-raid shelter.

The air-raid shelter was pitch black.

However, the temperature was much lower than outside.

As a large orange cat, Yamaha is naturally not afraid of the dark.

Some old objects were piled up on both sides of the road, and there were also some bags of pre-apocalyptic items, rags and clothes on the ground.

Yamana shone her small flashlight around, "This used to be a safe spot, right...?"

In the early stages of the apocalypse, social order had not yet collapsed, and the government was working hard to suppress zombies, protect the people, and open many safe zones.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long; everything happened too fast...

Looking at the remaining traces of the past, Shan Nai felt a little sad.

The blue planet before the apocalypse seems like it was just yesterday.

Following the mission instructions, Shan Nai wandered around the air-raid shelter, turning east and west, for nearly an hour, until finally the little red dot began to flash wildly.

"Haha, we're here! This is it!" Yamana exclaimed excitedly, spinning around in a circle.

She simply couldn't walk any further.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm a lazy cat~ I don't like walking, meow..." Shan Nai leaned against the wall, took out a bottle of Little Bison Energy Drink, and gulped it down.

[Host, you've finally arrived after all this hard work.] The system, perched on the edge of the screen, looked at Shan Nai with great concern.

Shan Nai pulled a folding stool from the backstage storage, propped it up, plopped down on it, rubbed her calves, and let out a long sigh. "Now that we've arrived at our destination, I'll eat first!"

It was already noon, and she was really hungry.

How can I have the energy to do tasks if I don't eat?
