Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies

Chapter 52: My supermarket has its own ideas

Qin Mingzhou couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at Su Yinhe. His sister… was she really that gullible? Had he known, he would have presented himself in a more pitiful light initially.

Such a miscalculation.

Even Chi Yan, frowning, looked at her.

“Lin Nianbei, Miss Su is generous and wants to be a good person. Others don’t mind, so what’s bothering you? Could it be… you don’t want Miss Su to be a good person?” Lin Muxue said with a smile as she watched Su Yinhe.

Beautiful, but unfortunately, dumb.

Fools don’t live long in this era.

“What are you barking about here, Lin Murong?” Lin Murong was frustrated now; Galaxy had seemed so clever while playing cards just before.

How come now…

Donating supplies, he had no idea what Little Galaxy was thinking.

And she agreed so quickly, he hadn’t even reacted yet.

“Alright, quiet down,” Su Yinhe said, holding a tablet, unaware of what she was playing.

“You still think about playing at this time? Believe it or not, my uncle could really empty your supermarket,” the supermarket, no matter how prolific, couldn’t supply a whole base.

Besides, it wasn’t certain how much of the goods donated by Little Galaxy actually reached the people she sympathized with.

Lin Murong was only foolish in front of people he trusted; it didn’t mean he was truly foolish.

Qin Mingzhou wanted to say something but stopped.

Qin Mingzhou patted Su Yinhe on the back, “Little sister, I’m actually pretty poor too, don’t be fooled by how energetic I seem now, but you don’t know, a few days ago, I almost starved to death…”

Su Yinhe put her finger to her lips and whispered, “Shhh.”

Hearing Su Yinhe’s mention of donation, everyone who followed Lin Nianbei inside crazily grabbed items, not having to consider the price.

They even took extra of the expensive items they saw.

Except for Lin Nianbei, everyone else loaded the shopping carts they wheeled in to the brim.

The people who exchanged Crystal Cores for money and came in got in the way of the people brought by Lin Nianbei, who pushed them aside a few times.

The pushed people were a bit angry, about to push back, when they saw a crowd.

They could only swallow their frustration.

Can’t mess with them.

Lin Nianbei grabbed a box of coffee, feeling slightly regretful that there was no tea here. His tea was almost finished.

When they were leaving, some Superpower Users ran ahead of Lin Nianbei; Lin Nianbei wasn’t angry – worthless things are like that.

Leading in front was Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu, pushing a cart filled with instant noodles, felt extremely satisfied, although he somewhat disliked Lin Nianbei’s niece, Lin Muxue, but he had to admit, following Lin Nianbei, he gained a lot.

Xiao Liu, pushing the cart, ignored the checkout robots, looking at the people lining up to pay beside him, feeling secretly thrilled that he didn’t have to pay. So thrilling.

Xiao Liu had not finished feeling thrilled when the checkout robot’s eyes flashed a strange purple light, and then a thunderbolt appeared out of nowhere in the supermarket, striking Xiao Liu.

While Xiao Liu’s mind was still thrilled, his body had fallen to the ground, beginning to convulse and foam at the mouth.

Only then did the sound of thunder follow.

People behind Xiao Liu stopped in their tracks.

Lin Murong, still trying to brainwash Su Yinhe back to sanity, stared at Xiao Liu foaming at the mouth on the ground, stiffly twisted his neck, and looked towards the calm-faced Su Yinhe.

Chi Yan’s previously furrowed brows smoothed out.

Qin Mingzhou couldn’t help but swear.

Lin Muxue, staring blankly at the thunder-stricken Xiao Liu, let out a shrill scream after a few seconds.

The closest to her, Lin Murong, dug at his ears.

Damn, deaf.

How could Lin Muxue yell so much.

As for Su Yinhe, it seemed that she had anticipated this situation, her eyes fixed on the tablet, not lifting her head once.

“Instructor Lin… this…”

“Xiao Lin, help Xiao Liu up.” Lin Nianbei walked behind, with the tall figure of the Superpower User in front blocking his view completely. He only heard a thunderclap but did not see Xiao Liu get struck.

He had thought the thunderclap was from outside.

All he saw was Xiao Liu suddenly collapsing in convulsions, while the person behind Xiao Liu stopped in their tracks.

“Instructor Lin, it won’t work… there’s… there’s thunder.” Meng Qilin had witnessed Xiao Liu get struck by thunder right in front of him.

That thunder… damn it! Why was there thunder inside the supermarket?! Could it be… had Xiao Liu offended some Thunder Power User? Seeing how happy Xiao Liu was, did they strike him just for that?

Meng Qilin dared not physically help him, for who knew whether that Thunder Power User was still around. What if they were, and he went to help Xiao Liu only to get struck together with him?

“Xiao Lin.” Seeing his subordinate not complying, Lin Nianbei felt somewhat displeased.

Meng Qilin glanced at Xiao Liu on the ground, then at Lin Nianbei wearing a displeased expression, steeled his heart, and took steps forward to help.

Being struck by lightning wouldn’t kill him, but if Lin Nianbei had any complaints against him… it would be a fate worse than death.

Of course, Meng Qilin didn’t forget to push the cart as he walked, these were all his essential supplies.

Nobody noticed that as Meng Qilin pushed the cart past the checkout robots, a faint hint of purple light flashed in the robot’s eyes.

Another thunderbolt struck down.

With a thud, Meng Qilin also collapsed in convulsions.

This time Lin Nianbei saw the thunderbolt clearly.

Lin Nianbei frowned, wondering what was going on.

He looked at the two carts in front and grabbed another person, instructing him to walk forward.

Although the man did not want to be struck by lightning, he dared not disobey Lin Nianbei and still pushed the shopping cart forward.

Thud.

Another one.

Lin Nianbei stood still, pondering as he watched the three shopping carts.

“You, don’t push the cart, just walk forward.”

Lin Nianbei pointed at another person.

The pointed person shivered as he took a few steps forward, and then… nothing happened.

Huh?

He took a few more steps, and still, no thunder struck.

“Instructor Lin?” He stopped and turned back to look at Lin Nianbei.

Lin Nianbei then had several more people repeat the experiment.

Anyone holding items from the supermarket would get struck by lightning within a few steps, but those empty-handed would be fine.

Lin Nianbei’s heart sank, and he instructed the people behind him to leave their shopping carts and follow him to Su Yinhe.

“Miss Su.” Lin Nianbei’s tone was still gentle, but perhaps because too many people had been struck, his intonation sounded a bit odd.

“What is it?” Su Yinhe, playing with her tablet, looked up.

“It seems we can’t take things out of the supermarket. Do you know what’s going on?” As he asked this, Lin Nianbei’s tone involuntarily carried a hint of accusation.

“Ah? Really? I don’t know either. Maybe my family’s supermarket has its own ideas,” Su Yinhe responded, spreading her hands innocently.

“Instructor Lin… Uncle, is it? I really want to help the people at the base and am willing to donate supplies to you. But if you’re struck by lightning… that’s not my problem.”

“…But this… Miss Su, as the owner of the supermarket, can’t you control…”

“I can’t.” Su Yinhe shook her head. “My family’s supermarket has its own mind; there’s nothing I can do.”

“Then as the supermarket’s owner, you probably won’t be struck by lightning. Could you help us move the supplies out of the supermarket?” Lin Nianbei clenched his fists, yet his face remained politely demeanor.
