Chapter 22 KYC and Supermarkets
Chapter 22 Jingyuan and Supermarket
After going through many difficulties and dangers, Jingyuan finally arrived at the entrance of the ruins of the shopping street and saw the house of Xianxuan Fruit Shop.
He smelled an attractive aroma wafting from the fruit shop.
As soon as he looked over, he felt something was wrong. Black vines spread out from the deepest part of the house, and the mango seedling that was originally motionless now came to life.
A vine covered with sharp thorns hangs high, with a piece of black leaf hanging from it. The fragrance Jingyuan smells comes from that piece of leaf.
Thorny vines floated above the water, like the tentacles of an octopus, and those tentacles were binding a zombie.
The zombie's body has been wrapped in white filaments, like a cocoon, trying to wrap it up.
This cocoon is half finished, and two other cocoons have been formed.
Obviously, this guy is hunting.
Jingyuan immediately understood what the smelly cocoon bag on the wall meant. Once entangled in its vines, it would be wrapped in the cocoon and dragged into the room. The cocoon would secrete a strong corrosive substance like gastric acid.
The substance dissolves the contents together with the bones into blood and water, turning it into its nutrients.
Perhaps it was the rain that made it active. The water in front of it became its hunting ground. The vines spread out like spider webs, which was dangerous and deadly.
Jingyuan stopped about ten meters away from the vine net, picked up a stone and threw it out.
The stone hit the vine, but there was no reaction.
His eyes focused on the vines, passing quickly from a distance of five meters.
He still walked very carefully during the last section of the road.
Finally, he saw the door number of Shunxiang Supermarket. This building at the end of the shopping street is located on steps and has not been flooded. The materials inside are still intact. Jingyuan was greatly encouraged by this news.
Water, food, tools. The supermarket has everything he needs now.
His spirits increased. After walking for such a long distance, he was already hungry. Thinking about what he had eaten in the past two days, a pack of starch sausage, a mango, and two or three poor cans.
For an adult, this may be just one meal, and this is his ration for two days.
Hunger has been tormenting him since he came into this world. It has never disappeared, it is just the difference between strong and weak.
What saddened him the most was that he couldn't taste the food. It was as if he had stuffed a ball of mud into his stomach, letting it block his intestines and temporarily relieve the burning feeling in his stomach.
Eating was his favorite thing. In the past, if he was hungry after get off work, he would ride his small electric car to his favorite barbecue restaurant and buy a spicy barbecue takeaway to take home.
He worked hard all day just for a few bites of skewers, but even if there was a skewer sprinkled with cumin and spring onions in front of him, he couldn't taste it anymore, which made him feel sad from the bottom of his heart.
But when he saw the supermarket door, he seemed to see hope again.
Although everything about him is so tattered and messy, he has overcome so many hurdles and reached the finish line. There must be enough food there to fill his stomach without having to weigh every bite he takes.
How much more can be eaten?
There must be enough water there to allow him to wash away the dirt on his body, to wash his sticky hair so that it is extremely refreshing, and to wash away all the stinky smell on his body into the fragrance of soap.
He dragged his exhausted body to the door of Shunxiang Supermarket, where a few zombies were wandering around outside.
Jingyuan completely ignored them and just stuck his head out to look into the supermarket.
The narrow passage was crowded with ugly and disgusting zombies. They rolled their gray eyeballs and crowded together like maggots.
These guys ignored Jingyuan's arrival. They had no ability to think. The only things that could attract their attention were loud sounds, the smell of fresh blood and the smell of living creatures.
He couldn't fight with them here, so Jingyuan placed the iron gun at the door to avoid accidentally injuring a zombie while squeezing in and causing a commotion.
As long as one fights with him, the others will swarm.
He gripped the shoulder strap of his travel bag, took a deep breath, and broke into the crowd of zombies.
Once inside, it is crowded, like a subway in a first-tier city during rush hour.
There was no light in the supermarket, so even if he was very careful, he still had to come into close contact with these zombies.
Staring at the severed tongue of a zombie face to face; squeezing between the two zombies.
When his eyes met the turned-out gray-white eyeballs, he felt as if his heart had stopped.
There seemed to be countless resentful spirits and ghosts hidden in the darkness. He was not very courageous. Squeezing into the zombie crowd made him feel strong discomfort, but he still survived.
He passed through the collapsed wall and entered an open space!
He did it, he successfully reached the interior of the supermarket!
This is simply a treasure trove!
The overturned shelves are filled with a dazzling array of products. In front of you are rows of barrels of purified water for drinking fountains. The barrels are so large that a family can drink for more than ten days!
Although it was covered in dust, the seal was intact, enough for him to take a dozen baths!
There are also rice bags, vacuum packed rice bags!
I can’t even count them. There are seasonings on the shelves over there, salt in plastic bags, chicken essence, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, and oil consumption!
Aluminum-packaged canned peaches, canned sardines, fermented bean curd, pickled mustard, and a long list of instant noodles!
Although the shelves are not full, only about a quarter of the stock is available, but this is a quarter of the entire supermarket!
If it's for his own use, he won't have to worry about it for a few months!
Jingyuan felt that if he could shed tears, he would have shed two lines of hot tears!
He did it and found enough supplies to survive. Even if the heavy rain continued for more than ten days or dozens of days, he would have the confidence to survive.
He was so hungry that he couldn't bear it, but he didn't unpack the food immediately to eat. Instead, he took a dry towel from the daily necessities area and wiped the dirty water on his face, neck, and hands.
He found a fruit knife and punched a hole in the plastic shell of a bucket of pure water. The water squeezed out like a fountain. He held the water and washed his face. It was clear and clean water!
He was living well, and no matter how difficult the situation, he was not hit.
He is happy and wants to cheer!
But no, the cheers will attract those guys gathered at the entrance.
He could only go to the food area with full heart, tear open the starch sausage, open the can of yellow peaches, open a bag of chocolate, and swallow the whole rich meal down his throat to fill his stomach.
He seemed to taste the sweetness of chocolate, but in fact he didn't. It was the sweetness in his heart.
He thought he could rest here for a while. Xiaobai was a puppy that could eat dog food and drink water by itself, so there was no need for him to rush back in such a hurry.
But just as he stood up, he suddenly froze in shock.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes stared at him.
The little zombie girl stood behind him without saying a word or making a sound, and Jingyuan never even sensed her arrival before seeing her.
