Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies-Chapter 62 - : rice porridge

Chapter 62: rice porridge

Lin Muxue had to drink some more rice porridge before feeling better.

Rice porridge was rare, and she could drink it only because her uncle was Lin Nianbei.

Upon recovering, Lin Muxue thought back to all the hardship she had endured these past few days, and she felt incredibly wronged.

It was all the fault of that damned supermarket owner and Lin Murong.

Lin Murong had been on good terms with the supermarket owner, so why hadn’t he taken over the supermarket earlier?

Instead, she had to accompany Lin Nianbei in the pouring rain, which led to her falling ill with such a severe sickness.

...

After lying down for so many days, Lin Muxue felt pain in every bone.

She felt like she was falling apart.

Lin Muxue massaged her own arms while contemplating the situation with the supermarket.

After so many days, with Lin Nianbei’s capabilities, the supermarket should have been taken over by now.

She had suffered so much for the sake of the supermarket; she must pick out more items for herself. She had suffered heavy losses due to the storm.

Lin Muxue rested for a while longer, then took a few Superpower Users who protected her and went to find Lin Nianbei.

On the way, she kept thinking about how much she should take.

She had rendered such a significant favor, so asking for forty percent wouldn’t be too much.

Yes, a significant favor.

In Lin Muxue’s view, had she not informed Lin Nianbei about the supermarket, he wouldn’t have known about it and wouldn’t have taken over the supermarket.

Therefore, she had helped out greatly and deserved to ask for more.

Lin Muxue thought long and hard, but she never considered the scenario where Lin Nianbei had still not taken over the supermarket.

“Uncle, what did you say?”

Lin Muxue’s face was a picture of disbelief.

Not a single item from the supermarket’s supplies was obtained? How could that be? Lin Nianbei was the person in charge of the base; how could he not take over a small supermarket? Wouldn’t people laugh if this got out?

Lin Muxue didn’t want to believe this fact.

“Xiao Xue, keep your voice down.” When it came to this matter, Lin Nianbei also felt a bit embarrassed.

He had originally thought it was just a supermarket, and he wouldn’t need to exert much effort to take it, but who would have thought that after so many days, he still had no way to take it.

If his political rivals knew about this, they would certainly mock him.

“Uncle, isn’t the supermarket just owned by one person? How come after so many days, not a single item has been taken out?” Lin Muxue stood up and then sat down again, her heart full of irritation.

How could this happen?

She had planned what to do with those supplies, and now she was told the supermarket hadn’t been taken over and not a single item had been acquired.

It meant she had suffered in vain all these days.

“There’s something strange about that supermarket. The lightning seems endless, striking one bolt after another. Everyone I sent to take some goods got struck by lightning.” Lin Nianbei took a sip of tea, furrowing his brow; it was too hot.

Speaking of which, why hasn’t Xiao Liu come back?

It’s been so long.

What a useless guy.

“Strange? Uncle, just find a few powerful Superpower Users and dismantle the supermarket directly. I refuse to believe that with the supermarket torn down, it can still strike us with lightning.” Lin Muxue was furious and, after venting, promptly started to give Lin Nianbei suggestions.

Hearing her words, Lin Nianbei’s eyebrows twitched. Right, he had been thinking only about how to avoid the lightning and never considered solving the problem at its roots.

If the lightning only struck inside the supermarket, then having people dismantle it should solve the issue.

Even if those supplies might get buried in the process, they were currently trapped on a mountain with no shortage of manpower.

He could just get people to dig them out later; surely the supplies would be uncovered.

Rather than like now, where he could only stand by and watch, unable to collect anything.

Lin Nianbei suddenly felt his mind lighten.

Lin Muxue saw that Lin Nianbei was seriously considering the situation and was very satisfied. She simply had to get the goods from the supermarket.

Otherwise, all her efforts these past few days would have amounted to nothing.

When Lin Muxue left, she specifically asked Lin Nianbei to notify her once he had the supplies.

She needed to go back and have a good meal first, having had nothing but rice porridge to drink during her days of fever, to the point where she even dreamt of blandness.

Before leaving, she had asked someone to prepare something delicious for her.

And by now, it should be ready.

So Lin Muxue quickened her pace.

…

Wang Huifang, with a face full of misery, spoon-fed warm water into her younger daughter Liu Piaoxu’s mouth.

Liu Piaoxu’s eyes were tightly shut, her body as hot as a furnace, yet she kept saying she was cold.

The water that Wang Huifang fed her was swallowed only in part; much of it was spat out again.

“Piaoxu, drink a little more, just a little more,” tears dropped one by one onto Liu Piaoxu’s face, and with hazy eyes, she saw her mother crying.

“Mom, don’t cry. Piaoxu is okay,” Liu Piaoxu struggled to reach out her hand and gently wiped away the tears accumulating under Wang Huifang’s chin.

“Mom won’t cry, Mom won’t cry. Piaoxu, how are you feeling? Drink some more water. Let’s wait together for your sister to come back. She will surely have a way,” Wang Huifang, seeing her daughter awaken, said with a choked voice.

Liu Piaoxu had been burning with fever for three whole days now.

Now they had no medicine, no food, no clothes, all she could do was hold her daughter tightly, trying to warm her with her own body heat.

“Mom, I’m so hungry,” Liu Piaoxu’s voice was as frail as a thread. She felt so cold, hungry, and uncomfortable.

Was she going to die? Her sister had said that people go to heaven after they die, but she wondered if there was food in heaven. Being hungry was such an agonizing feeling.

Liu Piaoxu remembered the Da Bai Tu milk candies her sister had brought home before.

That candy was really delicious, so sweet that her mouth would taste sweet for the whole day after just one piece.

A whole bag of candies, and her sister had given them all to her.

She ate them sparingly, not daring to move her tongue after placing one in her mouth, trying to make the candy last as long as possible.

But no matter how sparingly she ate, the candy eventually ran out.

After finishing the candy, Liu Piaoxu felt sad for a long time. She wanted more but did not dare to ask her sister.

Her sister already struggled so much just to find food for the family. Candy wasn’t filling enough, and she could go without it.

But truly, Da Bai Tu milk candy was really delicious, her favorite food.

So sweet, even sweeter than mutant grass root.

“Mom, I’m so hungry,” thinking about the Da Bai Tu milk candy, Liu Piaoxu repeated herself. Her voice was so faint it was almost inaudible.

But Wang Huifang was close enough to hear.

Wang Huifang cried even more, tears pouring down her face like rain.

“Just wait, Mommy is going to find you something to eat,” she finally made up her mind after a long while.

She carefully placed her daughter on the ground, where a piece of old cloth was spread; it was made from her own torn clothing. They had been using this as a bed these past few days.

After making sure her daughter was settled, Wang Huifang wiped the tears from her face, covering her growling stomach, and after passing a few people, she went to find Gu Honghua for some food.

A few days ago, using nearly starving to death as an excuse, Gu Honghua had taken several pieces of cake from her, one after another.

Now Piaoxu just wanted something to eat, so she had to ask Gu Honghua for a little.

Not much, just a couple of bites. Two bites for Piaoxu would do; she could bear the rest.

Wang Huifang spoke humbly, but as soon as Gu Honghua heard her request for food, she exploded in anger.

“Big sister! Just because you don’t have food doesn’t mean I have plenty! I’m a widow with orphans to feed, not like your family with a Superpower User daughter who can bring home provisions!”

“Your girl Piaoxu may be hungry, but my Da Bao is even hungrier!”
