Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies

Chapter 54: Bald split

“Little… Little Galaxy? What is this…” Lin Murong was dumbfounded. Hadn’t Little Galaxy just been upset and grieving?

Now she had started watching a drama.

Lin Murong noticed that he was the only one shocked by this; the other two didn’t seem surprised at all.

Qin Mingzhou quickly squeezed in, just in time to catch the climax of the episode. He could finally find out the heroine’s true background.

Who knew that old geezer would suddenly come over, ramble on so much, and interrupt his drama-watching.

Chi Yan was still playing with the Rubik’s cube, nonchalantly twisting it around.

This made it seem like he was overreacting.

Lin Murong blinked, glancing at the paused episode next to him, and decided to join in.

Better to finish the series first.

He was genuinely curious, who in the world was the female lead’s illegitimate daughter?!

Sitting down for only a short while, Lin Murong got immersed in the plot, completely forgetting about the unusual behavior of Su Yinhe.

It was only after he finished the latest episode that he had the time to “comfort” Su Yinhe.

“Little Galaxy, don’t be too upset. My uncle, he’s not a good person. That man is just…” Lin Murong had already filled in the blanks in his mind.

Little Galaxy must have been distracted from her sorrow by the riveting melodrama, her eagerness to watch surpassing her grief.

Now that it was over, Little Galaxy must be heartbroken.

He had to comfort her.

With a serious face, Lin Murong began to reveal the true nature of Lin Nianbei.

My uncle isn’t a good person; you really don’t need to admire him, and certainly, there’s no reason to be upset over him.

“Murong, thank you. But I’m really not upset,” Su Yinhe patiently listened to Lin Murong’s advice and then pressed down on his shoulder.

“You’re lying. Your eyes were so red just now, and you were trembling because you were upset.”

“Ah? But I was trying not to laugh,” Su Yinhe had wanted to laugh more and more as she spoke, but it wouldn’t have been proper, so she had to hold it in.

But it truly was hard to restrain, and as she did so, she started trembling.

As for her eyes…

Whenever she watched racy comics or read novels, her face and eyes would go red. It wasn’t embarrassment, more the thrill really. She had allowed herself a little thought just now…

Cough.

Of course, there was no need to mention that.

“So… you were deceiving them?” Lin Murong, though skeptical as he said it, had to believe her as he saw Su Yinhe’s innocent expression.

“How can you call it deceit? It’s just…adult talk. It makes me appear more sincere,” said Su Yinhe, the picture of sincerity.

Goddamn sincerity.

Lin Murong didn’t know what face to make.

He had actually believed she was upset.

With a face full of disillusionment, Lin Murong started following another drama with Su Yinhe.

Having gone out on a limb with hopes of securing resources and returning empty-handed, as well as in disarray, Lin Nianbei took a shower when he got back and even caught a cold after.

Lin Muxue was in a similar state, sneezing continuously and cursing in her heart.

She cursed Su Yinhe, Lin Murong, and even more so Lin Nianbei.

Wasn’t her uncle the most eloquent speaker? What happened today? Not only did he fail to persuade, but he also pissed off that idiot.

That idiot trusted him so much, and he still managed to mess it up.

She got soaked in the rain for nothing today.

As expected, depending on others is just unreliable.

Lin Muxue drank her ginger tea, cursing continuously.

The ginger was a mutated kind, more pungent than the regular kind, and even had a bitter taste that couldn’t be masked even with brown sugar.

The more Lin Muxue drank, the more irritable she became.

This uncle was utterly unreliable.

Lin Nianbei was also drinking ginger soup, not because he disliked the taste, but the more he drank, the angrier he became.

Su Yinhe seemed very trusting of him, promised a donation, and later refused to move things merely out of fear of the thunder and the risk of being struck.

But now that he had returned and was sipping ginger soup, he pondered it all and started to feel that something wasn’t quite right.

Yet, frustratingly, he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was amiss.

Lin Nianbei planned to ask some Thunder Power Users to help with the move tomorrow since they weren’t afraid of thunder and would surely be able to handle it.

Or perhaps, he thought, they could give the Superpower Users something to ward off lightning, like dressing them up in plastic clothes…

Lin Nianbei thought about it all night, and early the next day, he intended to instruct Xiao Liu to find Thunder Power Users.

However, after calling for him over and over, Xiao Liu didn’t show up.

That’s when Lin Nianbei remembered that Xiao Liu had been struck by lightning and was dragged back yesterday to lie down.

Lin Nianbei went to check on Xiao Liu, who was not dead, still lying down, occasionally twitching and foaming at the mouth.

Given the situation, he wasn’t going to be able to work for a while.

Lin Nianbei watched for a long while before leaving.

With Xiao Liu unavailable, he had to find someone else to take care of the matter.

He followed them again, while Lin Muxue didn’t go, as she had a fever. She’d swallowed two pills developed by the base, but they didn’t help.

She was out of her mind with the fever.

Lin Nianbei just had a cold, constantly running nose, but he was still mobile.

However, Lin Nianbei’s plans all came to nothing.

In theory, Thunder Power Users shouldn’t fear being struck by lightning, they could even extract energy from the lightning to replenish themselves.

But when several Thunder Power Users went to move things from the supermarket and saw the lightning strike, they tried to harness it.

And then they got charred.

They were worse off than Xiao Liu and his group.

Their hair was scorched to ash. They all turned bald instantly.

Lin Nianbei, determined, tried to have the Superpower Users wear full-body insulating clothes.

But the lightning struck all the same, knocking down several more Superpower Users.

All the Superpower Users involved in the experiments were struck without exception, and everything he tried failed.

Superpower Users struck unconscious by lightning were piling up like a mountain.

At first, the regular shoppers were a bit scared, but as the lightning kept striking with precision, never missing its mark, they grew unafraid.

They carried on with their shopping.

Those with ill intentions, thinking of stealing something, straightened up their thoughts upon seeing the lightning.

It was terrifying.

There was no escaping that lightning.

After a whole day of turmoil, Lin Nianbei’s brought people were dazed, he was exhausted, looking haggard, and kept sniffling, nothing like the elegant and courteous superior from the day before.

Today, he looked like a middle-aged man unlucky in both love and career.

As he approached Su Yinhe, she immediately turned her head away, looking utterly heartbroken.

Lin Nianbei, “Miss Su, please…”

Su Yinhe covered her ears. La la la, not listening.

Seeing Su Yinhe’s reaction, Lin Nianbei finally turned his gaze to Lin Murong.

“Murong, couldn’t you persuade Miss Su? I really didn’t mean it that way the other day.”

Lin Murong looked troubled. “Uncle, please stop. You don’t know how long Galaxy cried after you left yesterday; she’s very disappointed in you. She won’t listen to anyone right now.”

“Galaxy is my friend. She’s always been a person of kindness, willing to forgive others when they make mistakes. But Uncle, you really went too far yesterday. How could you possibly send Galaxy to her death?”

Lin Nianbei: “…”

The hell, when did he ever say to send her to her death.

He just wanted her to give it a try since she was the owner of the supermarket.
