Chapter 61: Xiao Liu
Xiao Liu led a group of people into the supermarket, originally planning to take them to the instant noodle section, but the starving ghosts trailing behind him couldn’t even walk properly once they entered.
They didn’t care about instant noodles anymore; they were too hungry, and they wanted to eat whatever they saw.
As soon as they entered, they saw packs of snacks and completely forgot about the instant noodles.
Xiao Liu’s eyes blurred, and the people following him pounced, grabbing packs of chips ready to tear them open.
The people in front lunged at the goods, blocking the path of those behind, who, seeing the food, also fought to squeeze in.
The scene beca extrely chaotic within monts.
...
Starving ghosts will be starving ghosts.
Xiao Liu stepped aside; these people were too terrifying.
Once the group got their hands on the chips, they were eager to tear the packages open.
However, just as they began to tear, lightning struck with precise accuracy.
There were quite a few people holding chip packs ready to tear them open, and suddenly, a dozen streaks of lightning, mingling with flashes of purple light, struck down.
Xiao Liu…
Xiao Liu had already collapsed on the ground, saliva uncontrollably dribbling from his mouth.
Lightning.
Again, it was lightning.
Xiao Liu thought back to when he was previously struck.
Xiao Liu’s legs went weak, and a suspicious sll ca from below his hips.
The people blocking the path were struck down by the lightning, and those who had gone mad with hunger behind didn’t care if they would get struck, they saw an opening and imdiately rushed forward.
Struck dead or not, they preferred to be struck dead than to die of hunger; the pain was too unbearable.
Thus, a group ca, got struck unconscious, then another group ca and also got struck unconscious…
Until there were so many struck unconscious, piling up like a small hill and blocking the aisle completely, that the people behind finally stopped.
But they didn’t stop for long; in the face of hunger, this little obstacle was hardly a difficulty. Those at the front, dragging their weak bodies, two or three people together, began pulling the people off the small hill and dragged them outside. The people at the back took over, dragging these people even further out.
They were blocking the path, affecting their eating.
Lin Nianbei had just entered when he ran headlong into the people dragging bodies.
“What are you… What are you doing?” This was completely different from what he had imagined.
He had clearly thought that this group of starving ghosts would have eaten up and cleared out the supermarket.
What was this?
Why were they dragging people one after another, just like a relay race…
Lin Nianbei was sowhat confused.
No one answered Lin Nianbei’s questions; they were too miserable from hunger and now had to do this exhausting work, they simply couldn’t bother to waste energy talking; they needed to conserve their strength.
Seeing that no one answered him, Lin Nianbei could only continue forward, then he saw a small mountain made of human bodies.
Lin Nianbei: “…”
Lin Nianbei didn’t need to think much to know that it had failed again.
Lin Nianbei’s face twisted montarily.
Why? Why had it failed again?
How much lightning did this damn supermarket have?
It wasn’t just Lin Nianbei who saw the people being relayed outside; Su Yinhe and the others sitting further out saw it too.
Lin Nianbei had brought a lot of people; so had entered the supermarket, and so were still lined up outside. From inside to outside, there were very long lines.
Su Yinhe watched as they transferred one body—possibly still alive—from inside to the outside, finally thrown out by those standing at the door.
Then the second body, the third…
The first ti was a bit clumsy, but as ti went on, they got more and more skilled, and their speed increased significantly. If you ignored the things they were dragging, it was almost like a mature production line.
Su Yinhe stared in bewildernt.
No way. They were so hungry, yet they still had the energy to transport “people”?
She had underestimated them.
“Yinhe, are those people also stunned by lightning?” Lin Murong asked with a strange tone as he looked at the people being dragged out like cargo.
“Probably,” Su Yinhe responded in an equally odd tone.
“It’s struck so many people, is there still enough lightning? Which direction is your supermarket mutating?” He initially thought the supermarket was mutating in a direction that involved breeding, but now it could release lightning, and repeatedly at that, making it look like copying and pasting.
He looked at the Thunder Power Users. Low-level ones could only release a thin line, mid-level ones could release a streak of lightning, and high-level ones could release several streaks.
However, no one could continually release it like the supermarket.
“Your supermarket is actually mutating in a copy-paste direction, isn’t it?” Lin Murong said with utmost certainty.
Copy-pasting resources, copy-pasting lightning.
Su Yinhe: “You’re right about everything,” Su Yinhe said with an encouraging look.
Lin Murong: “…” Sohow, he felt like his seniority had inexplicably dropped.
Lin Murong scratched his head, feeling sothing was off.
But, after thinking for a long while, he couldn’t figure out where the error lay.
Lin Nianbei’s plan ended in failure again. When he left, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
As for his companions, seeing so much stuff in the supermarket, they simply refused to leave, even though they knew they couldn’t eat any of the packaged goods inside, split open by the lightning.
If they couldn’t eat, at least they could look.
And continuously, people overwheld by hunger would try to grab sothing, only to be stunned by lightning.
Su Yinhe leaned against the cash register and sighed, feeling exhausted.
Because there were too many people, they even blocked the usual custors who ca to shop; those outside couldn’t get in, and those inside who had finished shopping couldn’t get out.
Su Yinhe did so calculations and felt like he had lost business for the day.
“Sigh, it’s been so many tis, yet he hasn’t given up. Lin Murong, your uncle is really patient.”
“I think so too. My uncle once pretended to be close friends with soone for two years just to pull him down.”
“What happened later?”
“Later, Lin Muxue slipped up and when the guy found out, he broke off relations with my uncle.”
Su Yinhe: “…”
He didn’t know what appropriate thing to say for a while.
Lin Nianbei returned ho with frustration, followed by a bunch of people. In the end, only he and a few superpower users protecting him ca back. Even Xiao Liu was not with them.
When he got ho and wanted a sip of hot tea, he found the pot of tea had gone cold.
He called for Xiao Liu several tis, but Xiao Liu didn’t co in. Then he rembered Xiao Liu must have been stuck behind the crowd and hadn’t co out.
Lin Nianbei swore a few tis, only to have to call in a Fire Elent Superpower User to heat his tea.
The scalding tea ward his body, drenched for so long in the rain, but the chilliness inside him wasn’t reduced in the slightest.
Galaxy Supermarket, Galaxy Supermarket, all very well.
Lin Nianbei set his cup down heavily.
He refused to believe he had no way of dealing with the supermarket.
Lin Nianbei was determined to overco the supermarket, while on the other side, Lin Muxue, who had been burning for a long while and had almost beco foolish, finally got a bit better.
Her head still hurt, but at least she could think now, no longer muddled by the fever.
Lin Muxue drank so hot water. Her stomach was empty, and after drinking so water, she felt nauseous. She retched a bit, throwing up so sour fluid.
Looking at the acidic liquid she vomited, she felt nauseated again, and the vomit repeated several tis, causing spasms of pain in her stomach.
