Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 86 - : Red Diamond Pigeon’s Egg
Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Red Diamond Pigeon’s Egg
Jiang Yan, as usual, pulled out an Underwater Cutting Gun from her Space and swiftly cut through the steel door of the safe deposit room.
This was a twenty-square-meter room located one floor below ground, right next to the shopping center’s property monitoring room, from which one could infer the level of security.
From the outside, it looked very ordinary, even intentionally misleading with a “Storage Room” acrylic sign hung for disguise.
But only Jiang Yan knew that it was highly likely the four walls of the room were filled with steel plates, just like her safe house at Shallow Bay, and the steel plates here were clearly thicker.
Although the room had been flooded, she could still faintly make out the dense array of surveillance cameras on the ceiling.
Perhaps there were also infrared sensors and the high-voltage intrusion prevention system like the one on her front door.
...
However, at this point, after a long period of power and network outage and being soaked by rainwater, these high-tech anti-theft devices were long ineffective.
Looking at the security level of this room, Jiang Yan had a momentary illusion that she was not in a shopping center but had wandered into some top-tier jewelry museum.
She held her diving flashlight as usual, scanning around cautiously before she carefully swam in.
“Cack cack cack!” Mommy, I smell the scent of the Red Diamond pigeon egg!
“Red Diamond – pigeon egg?!” Jiang Yan hesitated for a second, then her eyes shone with excitement and surprise, “Where?!”
The Red Diamond is said to be the most precious color among diamonds.
Then come the Purple Diamonds, Blue Diamonds, Pink Diamonds, Green Diamonds, Orange Diamonds, Yellow Diamonds, White Diamonds, Black Diamonds, and Coffee Diamonds.
Rare things are precious, and diamonds are no exception.
She remembered reading in some fashion news once that the global stock of Red Diamonds over one carat did not exceed five pieces, which speaks volumes about their scarcity.
It is said that a single one could buy a quadrangle courtyard in Jing City.
If it could be called a pigeon egg, then it must be at least five carats.
The key was that such rare diamonds were not found in jewelry exhibitions or auctions but here, which truly went beyond her expectations.
Looks like she ran into some damn good luck today
Jiang Yan was quite pleased with this.
“Cack cack cack!” Here, in this safe!
The Hua Bao Vine stretched out eagerly and excitedly wrapped around a strangely shaped safe in one corner of the room.
This safe must have been a special custom piece, different from the other rectangle vertical safes, it was two meters square and very boxy.
On top of it, a bunch of smaller safes were stacked like building blocks.
It looked a bit like hiding something in plain sight.
Hua Bao, feeling a bit peckish, couldn’t help but lick the safe door with its crimson tongue.
Jiang Yan watched its gluttonous gesture and silently chuckled.
Though she was thrilled, after she collected a pile of safes nearby, she quickly swam over and stored this particular safe separately in her Space’s white “Residential Area.”
She was indeed eager to take a look at this rare Red Diamond pigeon egg, but considering the current environment wasn’t very accommodating, she gritted her teeth and held back.
“Hua Bao, let’s go, on to the next stop.” Jiang Yan, having successfully scavenged another shopping center for expensive jewelry, now felt even lighter in mood.
“Cack cack cack!” Charge, charge! Let’s go!
Hua Bao’s leaves turned into propellers, moving ahead of her out of the small room.
After such prolonged underwater explorations, it had grown much bolder.
They were currently on the first underground floor.
This shopping center, located in the CBD’s prime location, was exceptionally expensive real estate.
The rent on the first floor was the priciest, and it got cheaper as you went up, so the storerooms and staff offices were placed in the least valuable and least airy basement.
When she and Hua Bao had come down, they used the supermarket passage from the first floor to the first underground floor.
The sizable import supermarket outside was a place Jiang Yan had shopped a few times before.
But now, the contents were either light and floating away with the water or heavy and settled on the ground.
The shelves also hung with towels covered in algae and freshly baked bread that turned moldy and crumbled at the touch.
There were some vacuum-sealed items, but she would have to dig them out slowly.
Jiang Yan glanced at the dark supermarket area and ultimately gave up on the idea of swimming inside.
Time was too limited, and her primary purpose was still to find jewelry.
If time allowed, she might also look for some medicines in the honeybee base or a hospital clinic.
Food was others’ priority, not hers.
With that in mind, Jiang Yan had already left the shopping center.

Just as she was about to continue non-stop to the next shopping center, her wrist was caught by a “swoosh” of Hua Bao’s extended leaf.
It pointed with another small leaf to a similarly luxurious and decorated store next to the shopping center, excitedly saying:
“Cack cack cack!” Mommy, there’s food in there too!
“…” Jiang Yan followed its leaf’s direction and couldn’t help laughing:
“Hua Bao, you really have sharp eyes.”
As she spoke, Jiang Yan followed behind it, heading towards the store.
It was the only flagship store of Hennessy Donkey Watches in Anming, with three floors.
Inside, they specialized in selling several famous watches from the whole group, and of course, there was also a small area for other globally renowned brand name watches.
Most of these watches were not cheap, with the least expensive starting at 10w, not to mention those eight-figure collectible wristwatches.
Jiang Yan had previously sold a watch to a second-hand luxury site, which she bought from this brand store.
But that was in another of its overseas stores, which could save some customs duties.
So, Hua Bao, this kid, not only had a keen sense of smell and sharp eyes but was also selective.
Anyway, it didn’t choose the most suitable, only the most expensive.
She was somewhat puzzled about the Cannibal Flower’s ability to consume.
Because some watch straps and dials, aside from gold and platinum, were also made of metals and special materials like stainless steel, titanium alloy, rhodium, ceramic, carbon nanofibers, etc., and some had dials of mother-of-pearl, enamel, sapphire, and so on.
Could she feed it stainless steel, seashells, or ceramics instead?
But just now, when they passed a high-end bone china shop at the entrance of the mall, it clearly had no interest at all.
It didn’t even spare a glance.
And earlier, it couldn’t bite through that safe’s steel plate.
So, is it because of its attribute?
Never mind, since it said it can eat, it must mean that eating will definitely help it and the Space to upgrade.
No need to overthink it.
Jiang Yan soon broke through a window and, with the help of the Cannibal Flower, quickly found the area where the watches were stored in safes.
These extravagant watches were stored in their boxes and safes collected into her Space.
The process became smoother and smoother.
Six hours later.
The gold, silver jewelry, and watches from all the jewelry and watch stores within a two-kilometer radius of the CBD were all collected into Jiang Yan’s Space.
During that time, she entered her Space once, merely eating a strawberry pudding and drinking a cup of hot milk chocolate to quickly replenish her energy before swiftly exiting the Space.
After such an intense round of non-stop swimming, even Jiang Yan, whose body had been enhanced by the Space, was starting to feel the strain.
