Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies
Chapter 354: Warm Supermarket

Chapter 354: Warm Supermarket

Going out will just mean suffering from the cold. Even if you have thick clothes, going out still means you will suffer from the cold.

The supermarket is so much warmer.

And besides, the owner wouldn’t drive people away.

So that resulted in overcrowded conditions.

Su Yinhe helplessly pressed her temples.

Quite extraordinary.

But indeed, Su Yinhe wouldn’t drive people away when she saw them.

However, they couldn’t stay forever.

The supermarket still had to close.

When Su Yinhe wanted to close the supermarket, many people were reluctant to leave.

Some even boldly asked her if the supermarket could stay open.

"Boss, it’s too cold outside. If we go out, we might freeze to death."

"That’s not my problem. You all figure it out yourselves." She still had to close the supermarket.

She ran a supermarket, not a charity to shelter people.

"But... boss... please." Someone tried to play the victim in front of Su Yinhe.

"Begging me is useless." Su Yinhe waved her hand, the supermarket wasn’t going to stay open forever, and they had to adapt to the cold outside eventually.

It wasn’t good for them to keep hiding in the supermarket either.

No matter how much they pleaded, Su Yinhe still drove them out and closed the supermarket.

"Am I being too heartless?" Su Yinhe frowned and asked them. After all, those people had just pleaded with her so earnestly.

"Not at all. This is a supermarket, not a hotel; they can’t stay here forever. Moreover, they haven’t paid. They want a free ride." Lin Murong didn’t feel sorry for them; he thought they were trying to take advantage.

That wouldn’t do, he hadn’t taken enough advantage himself.

"No. Lin Murong is right." Chi Yan rarely agreed with Lin Murong’s opinion.

Once Chi Yan said that, Lin Murong perked up.

"See, Brother Chi thinks I’m right. Galaxy, don’t think too much, think of something else. Like... should we get a pot going today? Look at this weather; isn’t it the perfect time to eat something hot?" Lin Murong looked at Su Yinhe, clearly hinting wildly.

Seeing him like this, Su Yinhe burst out laughing.

And just like that, she forgot about the whole ordeal.

"Alright, alright, let’s eat a pot." It had been a long time since they had had hotpot.

This kind of weather was perfect for gathering around a hotpot.

Winter and hotpot were the perfect match.

Although she wasn’t sure if it was officially winter yet, there was snow now, thick snow. Su Yinhe just considered it winter.

"Good. Let’s have hotpot." It was okay to indulge Lin Murong occasionally.

"Oh yeah! Awesome! Let’s eat hotpot." Lin Murong was ecstatic.

Honestly, snow and hotpot together were truly delightful.

Su Yinhe definitely enjoyed it.

Not only was there hotpot, but also ice fruit tea.

"My goodness. I never imagined I’d have such a delightful day." Lin Murong took a bite of a beef ball and sipped some milk tea, his mouth all red.

Spicy pot, it was really spicy.

But it was really delightful.

Comfortable, it was just too comfortable.

Days like these, not even gods would exchange.

"As long as I live, I belong to the supermarket; when I die, I’ll still be the supermarket’s. I want to stay in the supermarket forever." Lin Murong declared while eating.

Su Yinhe: "..."

Wait, we haven’t even started drinking yet, and he’s already riled up.

"Galaxy, got any beer? Get some beer." Beer goes with barbecue, and although there wasn’t barbecue now, hotpot wasn’t bad either.

"Okay, okay. Beer. But drink less. If you end up getting drunk and rowdy later, I’ll have Chi Yan carry you out and throw you outside. Freeze to death." Su Yinhe threatened.

"Don’t. Galaxy, you should have Brother Chi knock me out before I get a chance to get rowdy." Lin Murong wasn’t upset; instead, he gave her advice on what to do.

"Just throw him out. Do it once, and you’ll be happy afterwards."

"Don’t. I still want to stay in the supermarket, and help you, Galaxy." Lin Murong smiled ingratiatingly at Su Yinhe.

Su Yinhe: "..."

What chore, what chore.

What chore did he do?

He didn’t do much work, but it was exhausting for her.

Besides, does the supermarket look like it’s short of workers?

With a casual wave of her hand, she could have people willing to work at the supermarket.

"Just don’t throw me out. If I really freeze to death, I’m afraid you, Galaxy, would feel sad later on."

Su Yinhe: "..."

I guess not.

She is a cold-hearted woman.

They had hotpot, Su Yinhe and Lin Murong both liked it spicy, so they had a spicy pot, while Chi Yan preferred it less spicy and had a separate tomato pot.

Su Yinhe and Lin Murong would sometimes add some vegetables to the tomato pot.

But mostly, they stuck to the spicy pot.

On a snowy day, eating spicy hotpot was very blissful.

At least Su Yinhe was very happy.

Lin Murong was happy too.

However, his happiness only lasted until he heard he had to wash the pots and dishes. Lin Murong’s happiness ended abruptly then.

"Wait, why? Why do you treat me like this? I don’t want to wash the pots wahhh... Can’t Chi Yan do it? His superpower would make washing pots so convenient."

"No," Su Yinhe shook her head.

"I’m worried it would tire him out, I feel sorry for him."

Lin Murong: "..."

Lin Murong looked at Su Yinhe, then at Chi Yan.

He snorted.

Damn lovebird.

Hmph.

Oh well, he might as well just wash the dishes.

Darn it, he really didn’t want to wash dishes.

Eating hotpot is fun for a moment, but washing pots and dishes is just miserable.

Lin Murong grumbled as he cleaned the pots and dishes thoroughly.

He looked at the sparkling clean pots and dishes, thought for a few minutes with his head down, then scurried off to find Su Yinhe.

"Galaxy, Galaxy, come see the pots and dishes I cleaned. Aren’t they super clean?" Lin Murong pulled Su Yinhe to see.

Su Yinhe was dragged to take a look, then nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes, they’re very clean. They’re even shining."

"Then shouldn’t you give me a little reward..." Lin Murong squinted his eyes and raised his right hand to rub it together.

Usually, this gesture... means asking for money.

But now, in the apocalypse, money is just paper.

In the supermarket, Crystal Cores are like money.

But outside the supermarket, Crystal Cores are just decorative items.

Still just decorative items.

Some people even find them annoying to carry.

So, what does he want as a reward?

"What reward do you want?" Su Yinhe didn’t know, so she just asked directly.

"I don’t know, I just want something," Lin Murong chuckled.

Su Yinhe: "???"

Dude, are you sick in the head?

Actually, he might really be sick.

She shouldn’t be too harsh on someone who’s mentally unwell.

"Just take whatever you want. You could always take whatever you wanted before."

"It’s not the same, taking it myself doesn’t feel like a reward."

"What’s the difference? It’s all the same stuff. It’s not like if I hand it to you personally, the quantity would change, likewise, the quality won’t change either."
