Chereads / I Must Live Well In The Apocolypse! / Chapter 7 - Fruits and Fish

Chapter 7 - Fruits and Fish

After an hour has gone by the men then bring the fruit to the old wooden table and pack it it into the tote bags for me.

"Thank you guys for your hard work, it must be hard carrying such heavy products everyday." 

They each chuckle and as most of them begin to walk away.

One of the men, a tall brown haired man briefly stays behind and says, "It's not the worst job, it helps us make ends meet so that sorta thing doesn't really bother us."

After he says that he walks away to continue collecting the fruits I requested.

I walk off to the side and look around at the mountains that I can see behind the farm.

After looking at the sky for a few minutes I hear someone walking up to me from where all the products I requested are placed.

"Is there anything else you might need Cassandra?" Peter asks as Jet runs in circles around his legs.

I quickly turn towards him and nod lightly, "I would like to get the seeds for everything I requested if you have any."

He takes a moment to think and says, "I have them available but it will cost you a little extra."

I give him a gentle smile before saying, "It will be fine as long as I get everything I need."

Peter bends down a little to give Jet the pets he has been whining for and walks away to presumably get the seeds I asked for. 

While he is gone, I take stock of all the fruits and vegetables I asked for and I start taking the bags over to my car. 

When I have transferred everything from the table with the help of some of Peter's men, I see him walk up to my car when I am waiting for him.

He hands me the a plastic packet and when I open it up I see all the seed packets for everything I asked for.

"That should be it then Cassandra." 

He hands me a small receipt and I pay him the money in cash.

We then shake hands and I give Jet a few more pets before getting into my car.

"Be careful Peter and stay safe." I say as I watch him walk away.

He just waves his hand and goes back to his farm.

I close my windows and drive off a little before stopping briefly at the side of the road to put everything I just bought into my space.

I open up my phone again and put the navigation system back on so I can get the the local market. Once I have that on I put on some music and drive to the market.

The market is seemingly busy and full of life when I get there so I park the car on one of the designated parking spots and I start to make my way around. I am not very familiar with this place but it does help to look around at the various store signs that are present on all the stalls.

I see one that says "Fish Galore" on it and I stop there to take a look and see if I can get any.

I see an older lady handling the fish that are placed in buckets filled with ice. 

"Hello ma'am, are all these fish recently caught?" I ask.

She come up to the front of the stall to talk to me.

She nods and says, "Yes, they were all caught by my husband earlier this morning before being put on dislpay."

I then proceed to buy 3 buckets of fish from her.

She puts them all in plastic with ice for me and I smile gratefully at her before going back to my car and putting the buckets in my car and making my way back and walking around the market in search of any other items I think I might need.

As the sun is setting I walk away with so many bags filled with sewing kits, yarn, clothing material and all sorts of independent hand made clothing.

I put all the items into my boot and drive off a little into the distance. When I get to somewhere more quiet I stop and look around to make sure that there is no one around.

When I become sure of my solitude I put all the items I had recently bought into my space and start the car again before driving off.

On my drive back home I tune in to the radio and look back up at the road.

"Hey it's Stacie and Luke here on the 76 FM with the latest news!"

I shake my head a little but continue to listen to the enthusiastic voices I hear from the radio station.

"So we've heard that recently there's been a lot of strange weather and weird colours popping up at night in the sky."

"Yeah Stacie, there have been all these strange conspiracies going around about this, but weather changes all the time, I don't think there's anything particularly strange about that."

I let out a small sigh and say. "I wish that was all there is to it Luke."

"I know that the weather changes Luke," Stacie let's out a laugh, "I think that it's interesting though, thinking about all the different things that could explain this stuff."

"I mean we all love thinking of conspiracies and honestly I think this whole thing should be nipped in the bud soon before it blows out of proportion."

Stacie let's out another laugh, "It's fun to think about but everybody listening, please don't do the same thing that's happened a million times before, have fun coming up with theories and the potential reasons for this stuff but try not to cause more frenzies about the world ending like we've seen happen in the past."

As I get further to my home I continue to listen to the radio before going home, parking my car and getting into bed.

The moment I put lay my head on my pillow I bring up my system interface and check the level.

BASS BOSS SYSTEM

- Level 1

I let out another sigh and groan a little before making my peace with it and finally getting some sleep.
