Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies-Chapter 38 - : Inflatable boat

Chapter 38: Inflatable boat

“No, I just finished showering. If I shower now, I’m going to get drenched again when we go out,” Lin Murong didn’t think it was necessary. Right now, the most important thing was to hurry and climb the mountain.

“If you don’t shower now, I’m going to drop you immediately,” Chi Yan closed his eyes. If Lin Murong didn’t go shower, he couldn’t help but want to take action.

“Alright, alright.” Seeing him like this, Lin Murong knew it was his germophobia acting up.

Thinking that Chi Yan’s house was quite high up and wouldn’t be flooded for a while, he relaxed a bit and quickly went to shower.

Since it was his second shower, Lin Murong was particularly casual this time, rinsing off briefly and calling it done.

The clothes were provided by Chi Yan; Chi Yan’s space held many of his possessions, including his clothes.

...

During the time Lin Murong showered, Chi Yan had packed everything from his home that could be taken into his space.

All things were irreplaceable; once gone, they would truly be gone.

“Let’s go,” Chi Yan put on a coat. After the downpour, the temperature had dropped.

“Wait, aren’t you going to wear a raincoat?” Lin Murong looked at him oddly. Wasn’t Chi Yan the one who loved cleanliness the most? How could he stand being rained on directly? If not known, even rain could be polluted.

“No need.” He had recently developed a small skill and wanted to test its effectiveness.

“Fine.” If Chi Yan wasn’t afraid, Lin Murong was even less concerned.

Lin Murong put on the raincoat he wore earlier, the drips from the raincoat wetting the floors of Chi Yan’s house. Chi Yan had to repeat to himself for quite some time, he is my friend, he is my friend, to suppress the urge to hit someone.

But Lin Murong, being insensitive, didn’t realize anything.

After Lin Murong changed into the raincoat, the two went downstairs.

However, it seemed the rain was falling unexpectedly fast. In such a short time, the first floor was flooded, and water had entered the second floor.

One of the residents on the second floor was packing their belongings, and upon seeing the invading water, they nearly cried.

Upon seeing this, Lin Murong offered some advice.

“Better leave quickly. Leave the stuff for now.” If they stayed any longer, they wouldn’t be able to leave.

“Do you think we are like you, with an uncle who is an official? All these are things we struggled to acquire with our lives. If they’re lost, will you compensate us?” This household clearly recognized Lin Murong, who often came to see Chi Yan.

They didn’t appreciate his words, making Lin Murong feel rebuffed, and his expression cooled.

Chi Yan glanced over, then withdrew his gaze.

There were several households on the second floor, and aside from the one just now, who wanted to pack up their belongings and refused to leave, the others had already fled sensing something wrong.

All leaving their doors open.

Chi Yan found one such open door, walked straight in, and went to the balcony. First, he used his superpower to wrap himself in a protective water membrane to avoid getting soaked by the rain.

Then, stepping onto the balcony, he took out an inflated rubber dinghy from his space and placed it in the water.

Lin Murong watched his actions in astonishment; he hadn’t realized Water Power could be used this way.

“Bro, bro, me too, I want that too.” With that water membrane, he didn’t need this useless raincoat.

Lin Murong’s gaze was fixated on Chi Yan.

Chi Yan, not wanting him to dirty his dinghy, also applied a water membrane to Lin Murong after he took off his raincoat, tightly enclosing him.

“Hey, this is really good,” Lin Murong even deliberately moved close to the balcony in the rain. “The rain doesn’t get through at all.”

Chi Yan watched his foolish behavior, adjusted his glasses, but ultimately refrained from calling him stupid outright.

Even if he said it, it’d be the same.

Chi Yan stepped from the balcony into the rubber dinghy, and after Lin Murong had his fun, he also jumped in.

Once both were seated, Chi Yan extended the water membrane around the two of them to cover the entire dinghy.

Lin Murong began to paddle conscientiously.

The dinghy was provided by Chi Yan; predictably, before long, he would be eating Chi Yan’s food, drinking Chi Yan’s drinks, staying at Chi Yan’s place.

After all, aside from his clothes, he hadn’t brought anything else. His belongings were all at Chi Yan’s.

Lin Murong paddled towards the direction of the mountain for a while, but then Chi Yan suddenly instructed him to change course.

“Where are we going? Aren’t we heading to the mountain?” Lin Murong was a bit confused.

Chi Yan didn’t seem inclined to explain; he simply wanted him to change direction.

With all his worldly possessions in Chi Yan’s care, and the raft also belonging to Chi Yan, Lin Murong dared not disobey and sulkily changed course to keep paddling.

Paddling along, it finally struck him. They were heading towards the supermarket.

What a silent drama queen.

Lin Murong looked at Chi Yan’s expressionless face, sitting there so properly and cursed him silently in his mind.

Then, resigned to his fate, he continued to row.

He rowed and rowed and rowed.

Heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho.

Thanks to Lin Murong’s relentless efforts, they finally reached the supermarket.

The supermarket was flooded too, right up to the second floor.

Chi Yan gave Lin Murong a nudge, signaling him to call out for people.

“Why don’t you shout? Isn’t this where you wanted to go? You call out.” Why wouldn’t he seize such a perfect opportunity? Lin Murong couldn’t fathom what Chi Yan was thinking.

Chi Yan adjusted his glasses with a certain restraint, “You call out.”

Lin Murong: “…” Damn, carrying useless glasses while escaping, and he’s not even nearsighted.

Cursing inwardly, Lin Murong still began to call out loudly.

“Galaxy! Su Yinhe! Are you there?”

“It’s Lin Murong! Chi Yan and I have come to find you!”

“Su Yinhe!”

Chi Yan had wisely covered his ears in advance.

Lin Murong had no qualms about yelling as loudly as possible, successfully summoning Su Yinhe, who was living on the fifth floor.

When Su Yinhe heard her name, she thought she was hallucinating from listening to radio dramas too long the night before.

It wasn’t until she heard the full message that she realized someone was looking for her.

Su Yinhe was baffled this morning, watching the heavy rain outside. Going downstairs to open the supermarket after breakfast left her even more bewildered.

Because she found the first floor was submerged.

Through the glass, she saw the outside world had turned into an underwater realm.

The supermarket, retrofitted by the protective system, had not let in a single drop of water.

But it seemed there would be no business today. Even if she opened the doors, water wouldn’t flood in, thanks to the protective system—pretty reliable, really. But she doubted anyone would specifically dive here to shop.

All she could do was run back up to the fifth floor, watching the unending rain, worried whether the whole supermarket might get submerged.

The water wasn’t getting in, but if the entire supermarket was flooded, who knew how long it would take for the water to recede.

And whether her business could continue at all.

But worrying didn’t solve anything. She couldn’t just stop the rain, so she made herself a beef butter hotpot instead.

Rainy weather is perfect for hotpot.

However, as soon as she started cooking her hotpot, she heard someone calling her name.

And it sounded like someone she knew.

Su Yinhe could only stuff a piece of kelp into her mouth, chew it thoughtfully, and then rushed to the window, opening it up.

There was a protective membrane from the system outside the window, keeping the rain out, but Lin Murong’s voice could still come through.

Su Yinhe waved at them.

“How did you guys get here?” They were in a rubber raft.

“Are you okay? The rain’s too heavy, Chi Yan was worried your supermarket might flood, and he asked if you wanted to come with us?” Lin Murong said, nudging Chi Yan with his elbow.

Of course, Chi Yan hadn’t asked, but as a qualified friend, he had learned the Mind Reading Technique specifically for Chi Yan.
