Chereads / Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space / Chapter 8 - Collect! Collect! Collect Everything!

Chapter 8 - Collect! Collect! Collect Everything!

Unlike the warehouse area, there weren't many zombies near the mini-market. The door to the mini-market was locked, which meant no one had come yet and the supplies inside remained untouched. 

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Jiao Lizhi's face.

To conserve her energy and time, she avoided fighting the zombies outside and instead climbed to the second floor from the back of the mini-market. Using her kitchen knife, she pried open a window and slipped inside.

The mini market was a four-story building, with the first floor serving as the store and the upper floors as storage warehouses. Each floor took up an area of about 200 square meters. 

Jiao Lizhi skipped the first floor entirely and headed straight for the warehouses.

The warehouse door on the second floor was unlocked, and she opened the door carefully. No one knows if there are zombies inside.

After opening the door, she checked her surroundings. After making sure there was no danger inside, she walked into the warehouse. When she saw the supplies inside, her eyes widened with joy and she thanked the owner in her heart.

The room was filled mostly with women's products. Shampoos, body soaps, wet tissues, skincare products, disposable underwear, sanitary pads, and other daily necessities were all there. Though the quantities were not much, the variety was a lot. 

Wasting no time, she quickly stores everything into her space. There were at least twenty large boxes of each item, with sanitary pads being the most abundant stock. After clearing the second floor, she went to the third floor. 

On the third floor, she found convenient foods like instant noodles, canned goods, oatmeal, self-heating meals, powdered eggs, etc. 

While these foods might be considered junk food in normal times, in the apocalypse, they were priceless luxuries. 

Since the production line is cut off after the apocalypse, there is no way to get more of these things after they are consumed. So, in a year or two, people will be willing to pay a high price for a cup of instant noodles.

With hurried steps, she stored all of the supplies, with only one thought spun in her mind.

Collect! Collect! Collect everything!

Once the third floor was empty, she quickly went to the fourth floor. The fourth-floor warehouse was filled with beverages—beer, carbonated drinks, juices, flavored milk, mineral water, etc. 

In addition, it is also filled with condiments, men's products, medicines, etc. She even saw many boxes of small umbrellas piled in the corner of the room, with different sizes, textures, and flavors.

She wasn't embarrassed to see the boxes. Instead, she feels lucky. In her previous life, this item was the most popular item among the ability users.

Although the ability-users would have difficulty conceiving due to DNA mutations, most still use it to protect themselves from disease, while normal people use it to avoid unwanted pregnancies.

The first few months were spent searching for food, water, and medicine. So, no one pays attention to stocking up on this item. But a year later, food shortages forced many men and women to sell themselves for food.

By then, the product will become a hot commodity that could be exchanged for ten kilograms of rice for a piece of small umbrella.

While her thoughts were filled with memories from her previous life, Jiao Lizhi's excitement fueled her tired body, and her movements quickened despite her sore muscles. 

After she collected everything from the fourth floor, she finally went to the first floor.

Recalling the survivors trapped in the lecture hall, she decided not to take everything. To maintain the appearance of a water-type ability user rather than someone with a dimensional space, she took out her backpack from her space. 

Then, she filled it with five pieces of bread, two bottles of mineral water, two protein bars, a pack of sanitary pads, a bottle of aspirin, a bottle of ibuprofen, a bottle of iodine-based wound medicine, and a pack of caramel candies. 

After she filled up the backpack, she left behind food with a short expiration date such as several pieces of bread, some unfresh fruits, and a few bottles of soy milk. 

In her previous life, the silver-haired man's team also included a powerful water ability user, who was his junior at the university. This member is also someone who has awakened the ability in the early days of the apocalypse.

With this person around, they wouldn't have a problem regarding the water shortage. So, she left just three gallons of water for them.

After she collected everything besides the small supplies she deliberately left behind, she slung her backpack over her shoulders. 

Hearing the sounds of fighting in the distance, she glanced in their direction and muttered, "Mo Binxue, I won't kill you now, but I won't let you have an easy life either."

Leaving through the second-floor window, Jiao Lizhi made sure to close it behind her. For now, she was too weak to survive alone outside. Staying hidden in the university and leaving by following the group later was her best option.

Without sufficient food and water, they would be forced to leave the university sooner than they had in her previous life. Meanwhile, with them clearing out the zombies, she could get some rest and recover from her fever.

Not long after she left, Pei Yijun and his group arrived at the mini market. Seeing the locked door, smiles appeared on their faces.
