As for the hemostatic and pain relief medicine, they weren't too expensive, just a few tens of yuan.
It seemed a bit like profiteering...
Su Yinhe's non-existent conscience ached for a moment, but quickly stopped hurting.
After all, it was the apocalypse now, they couldn't find good stuff outside.
"Thank you, thank you." She had thought it might not be enough.
After giving the medicine to Monkey and having others apply it on him, Liu Wutong decided not to spend the remaining money on oden.
Although oden was delicious, there was so much more in the supermarket that they couldn't pass up.
This was a supermarket, after all!
Liu Wutong and Xu Jiaoqin discussed how to spend the remaining three hundred fifty yuan.
"Can we go inside and shop?"
"You can, but let me remind you not to steal anything or mess up the goods." She'd spent a lot of money to have her aunt arrange the goods properly, and she didn't want to see a messy supermarket.
"Absolutely, we'll be very obedient." Having received permission, Liu Wutong, Xu Jiaoqin, and Bai Yuanyuan, the three girls, went in to pick items. They didn't let the men in as they thought men were too clumsy and might disrupt the shelves.
Thirteen men were left yearning.
"There are shopping carts you can use," Su Yinhe pointed to where the shopping carts were placed.
"Thank you."
The three women pushed a shopping cart inside; three hundred fifty yuan couldn't buy much, one cart should be enough. Moreover, they had superpowers and were strong enough to carry things themselves.
There's less satisfaction in placing items in a cart than holding them in hand.
Once inside, they walked slowly, eyes fixated on the snacks on display.
"Captain, there are so many snacks, I really want some."
Xu Jiaoqin struggled to divert her gaze away from the snacks, "Let's buy enough to fill us."
"I know, but I really want them, I want to live here," Bai Yuanyuan also knew, but she just wanted to vent a bit.
The three headed to the instant noodles section, picking the cheapest bagged noodles to put in their cart; flavor wasn't their concern.
When the apocalypse had just started, people were picky about the distributed mushroom chicken noodles at the base, but now, ten years into the apocalypse, even those noodles were gone.
Now, even the high-ranking officials at the base might not have instant noodles.
Thinking of the aroma of the steaming noodles made Liu Wutong swallow hard, then frantically grab more.
Of course, no matter how frantic, they were careful not to be too wild, afraid of messing up the shelves.
While grabbing the noodles, the three also noticed that no matter how much they took, the shelves never seemed to empty.
They exchanged glances, wisely choosing not to discuss it.
This supermarket was not normal.
But the owner was willing to sell to them, who cares about normal? Anything edible was good.
Xu Jiaoqin calculated the money until they had taken three hundred yuan's worth of noodles, then called a halt.
"Alright, that's three hundred yuan's worth. With the remaining fifty, Wutong, you decide what to buy."
"Wutong, at two yuan fifty per pack of noodles, there are 120 packs here. Among the formal members of Cheetah Team, there are 40 people. Two people share one pack, and the rest is all yours. Is this division okay?" Xu Jiaoqin asked Liu Wutong.
Their team usually allocated more to those who found the supplies, a bit more to those who contributed the most, and evenly split the remainder.
But now, these noodles were obtained by trading Liu Wutong's personal belongings, so it was fine for Liu Wutong to keep them all for herself.
"Three packets per person?" Liu Wutong also desired more instant noodles, but since the team usually took care of her without minding her weaker superpowers, most of their findings were shared equally, which often benefited her a lot.
She naturally couldn't be so selfish now, especially since there were still fifty yuan left.
Fifty yuan could buy another twenty packets.
"Wutong, I'll thank you on behalf of everyone else."
"Ha, I don't want that. Tell them to thank me personally."
"Alright, alright, I'll tell them to thank you personally."
With the remaining fifty yuan, Liu Wutong didn't spend it all on instant noodles but instead spent thirty yuan to buy fifteen packets, and with the remaining twenty yuan, she bought some compressed biscuits and a large bag of White Rabbit Creamy Candy.
This necklace was given to her by her sister two years ago to keep her safe.
After selling her sister's necklace, she had to buy some candy to pacify her.
Her sister was born after the apocalypse and had never tasted White Rabbit Creamy Candy.
Bai Yuanyuan pushed a shopping cart filled with instant noodles, while Xu Jiaoqin and Liu Wutong carried out bundles of them.
"Check out."
After exiting, the three of them placed the instant noodles on the counter.
"That's exactly three hundred and fifty." After counting the money, Su Yinhe handed several large bags over to them.
"Packing is on you."
Su Yinhe decided to act a bit grandiose.
Seeing Su Yinhe act so grand, not a soul from Cheetah Team dared to complain.
In their eyes, it was their fortune that Su Yinhe was willing to sell the goods so cheaply; who would dare to complain?
In fact, many thought Su Yinhe was a sucker for selling things so cheaply.
The men left didn't make Xu Jiaoqin and the others exert themselves packing; they eagerly helped out.
Packet by packet, the instant noodles were packed, and they almost visualized themselves devouring the noodles in the future.
After packing, Cheetah Team lingered, taking the opportunity to savor the aroma of the simmered skewers a bit longer.
"Um, will you keep your store here in the future?" Xu Jiaoqin asked.
"Not necessarily." The supermarket could be relocated at will—an amenity Su Yinhe requested as compensation since she was only here to sightsee; certainly, she couldn't stay in one place forever.
"I see." Xu Jiaoqin felt slightly disappointed but not too much. She knew the supermarket and the owner were unusual and definitely wouldn't stay here permanently.
After all, it was too desolate here; only occasionally would a team pass by.
"Can't you stay a bit longer?" so that they had time to return to the base and bring back gold to barter for goods.
"Where is your base?" Su Yinhe was keen on making money; where there were people, there was money to be made.
Hearing this, Xu Jiaoqin felt a glimmer of hope, "Are you going to come to our base?"
"No, no, no, my supermarket won't be inside the base." That would be too troublesome—what if someone asked her for rent... or protection money? Although the supermarket had absolute defense and no one could harm her or the supermarket, she didn't want to be bothered daily.
Moreover, if it were in the base, she might have to abide by their rules.
"I'll probably set it up about five hundred meters from your base. When you get back, spread the word—I need gold, but other valuable items are also acceptable."
"The supermarket can move?" Bai Yuanyuan was excited. She had gold, and if the supermarket were set up near the base, she could exchange it at any time.
"Uh... it can fly, I guess." Su Yinhe pondered her words, not entirely sure herself. She only knew the supermarket could be relocated at will, but she wasn't exactly sure how.
"We are from Sun Base, the one to the west. Our base is very safe, hardly any zombies around, and the terrain is flat, which is ideal for a supermarket. There's also plenty of gold at our base; many people have it."
