As soon as I walked in, a sultry breath hit my face, mixed with the breath of various people. The supermarket lacked power supply and ventilation. A quick glance shows that there are at least dozens of people living here temporarily.
"Thank you. My name is Qin Jue. I'm passing by here. Can you stay here for two days? I'll get some rest before I leave."
At this time, a man who seemed to be the leader stood up. He was about the same height as Qin Jue, but much fatter. He had a sinister face, and his eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled.
"You can stay here for two days and then leave? Are you in such a hurry to go somewhere? We have enough supplies here. If you don't mind, you can stay a few more days." He said it beautifully, but in his heart he didn't think there was anything else outside. In a better place, the twinkling light in his small eyes made Qin Jue couldn't help but frown secretly.
Qin Jue smiled and said, "Thank you, brother, I'll stay here for just two days. After I rest, I want to go find someone in the city."
"The city has fallen, eldest daughter, don't go, there is no need to go. There are no relatives left." The middle-aged woman who pulled Qin Jue in waved her hands at her, staring with disapproval on her face.
"He is so capable, but he is different from us ordinary people. Why are you just joining in the fun?" The leading man stood up and took two steps closer. Seeing the impatient expression on his face, the middle-aged woman shrank her neck.
Qin Jue saw it in his eyes and still laughed: "Brother, do you think this will work? If you need my help in the past two days, I can do it at any time."
"Hahahaha!" The leading man laughed out loud immediately, "Refreshing! Okay, welcome!" He turned around and looked at the group of men following him, all of different heights, young and strong, and they all started laughing together. Come.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively.
The middle-aged woman stepped forward and grabbed her, bringing her into the central area where everyone was resting.
In the past, this area was specially used for special discount activities, and the large open space was now filled with dozens of people. The supermarket has a complete range of everything, the floor is covered with mattresses, and there is no shortage of quilts.
The middle-aged woman took her to the corner and said, "Girl, you just need to rest here for two days. It's okay. You can tell me anything you need." She turned her back to everyone and quietly put her hand into her coat. After tinkering for a while, he took out a key and said in a careful voice: "This is the spare key for the warehouse. Wang Li doesn't know about it."
As he spoke, he looked back around and saw that no one was paying attention. Then he said, "Whatever you need, just ask. There are many orphans and widows here. We take care of each other." He patted her hand and said, "Go out. Rely on friends, don't be afraid of them, tell Auntie if you have something. My surname is Chen, just call me Auntie Chen."
The middle-aged woman has short, ear-length hair, and the ends of her hair are frizzy, as if they were cut with something sharp. Although I haven't washed in many days, I still comb my hair neatly on the back of my head. There was a look of exhaustion and haggardness on his face after being displaced and traveling around, but Qin Jue couldn't help but feel close to him. She thought of the autonomous region and secretly determined to find a way for them to go to the autonomous region.
After Aunt Chen left, Qin Jue sat down on his bunk. My stomach had been growling for a long time, and while I swept the bunk with my hand, I thought that after everyone fell asleep, I would go downstairs to quietly find some food and clothing.
There was a little girl sleeping in the next bunk. She was only about 5 years old. Her sleeping eyelashes left long shadows on her round cheeks, but her face, which should have been pink, looked extremely pale. This look was familiar to Qin Jue, but with so many people here, there was a high probability that he was overly concerned. A good-looking woman next to her patted her gently. She seemed to be her mother.
The woman raised her eyes and looked here, and Qin Jue immediately showed a smile. When she raised her eyes, she was hesitant to speak, but the charm of her autumn eyes was still there.
She was alone with her child. In such a complicated environment, Qin Jue couldn't help but feel secretly worried. Thinking of this, she took out the remaining ham sausages from her backpack and gently placed them next to the child's pillow. He said to the woman in a breathy voice: "Sister, I gave it to the child. Don't take it away."
The woman waved her hand to refuse at first, but then she looked down at the child's cute sleeping face, then looked at her gratefully, smiled, nodded, and softly replied: "Thank you!"
In the dead of night, people snored one after another in the shop. A thin figure in the corner turned over and quietly disappeared into the supermarket shelves.
Qin Jue ran quickly through the rows of shelves, which was the daily necessities section. She glanced at the rack of outdoor sports clothing from the corner of her eye, and quickly slipped into the rack. In a hurry, she couldn't see the specific size clearly, so she grabbed a hoodie and put it on.
It was already autumn, and it felt acceptable to wear short-sleeved shirts during the day. The temperature dropped quickly at night, and Qin Jue breathed a sigh of relief as he felt much warmer after wearing them. I took two more sets of clothes and stuffed them into my backpack.
I looked around and saw no one, so I ducked down to the escalator. Downstairs was the food area. But the escalator entrance was blocked by shopping carts and refrigerated containers, as if to block something.
But this couldn't stop her. Qin Jue jumped up, turned over neatly, crossed the container, gently supported the shopping cart with both hands, stood up and stood on the escalator. Looking back at the large row of "blockers", I couldn't help but silently praise my own skills.
Even though she didn't want to admit it, she realized that her body had become very different from before, stronger and more flexible.
She shook her head and refused to study these changes in detail. After all, she still had to look forward to the future.
Slowly walking down the escalator, it gets darker and darker in front of you, without any light at all. Gradually, the snoring and whispers were no longer heard. There was only deathly silence and darkness on the underground floor.
Qin Jue couldn't help but get down, holding the escalator handle with one hand and squatting down. She wasn't sure why she stopped, but her intuition told her not to go any further.
The hairs on her neck suddenly stood up, and something flew past her ear, causing her to break out in a cold sweat. Then the energy core in the body started to rotate spontaneously, faster and faster, and soon the warmth and power brought by the energy core calmed Qin Jue down.
When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were faintly red, and the blinding darkness no longer hindered her vision.
The first floor was in front of me, and I stood at the end of the escalator. Less than 2 meters in front of him, squatting like himself, was a man. His dark eyes were motionless, observing him.
Qin Jue was startled when he suddenly realized that he was being stared at in the dark, and his palms were all sweaty. She also stared at the other party closely, guarding against the other party's sudden attack. Without making a sound, he slowly stood up, took off his wet hands, and secretly rubbed them on the corners of his clothes.
The other party slowly stood up in sync with her, raised her hand, and rubbed it on the corner of her clothes.
This was a very young, tall man, with a gray complexion and completely black eyes that made him unusual. He was wearing a white shirt, khaki casual pants, and a pair of light-colored casual shoes. There was a sign hanging on the white shirt that read "Yu Sheng, manager of xx supermarket".
Qin Jue's eyes were slightly surprised, which may be obvious in his expression. Yu Sheng in front of him also made a similar expression, but his eyes were all black, without the whites of his eyes, and there was no expression on his face.
Such weirdness was a bit creepy in the silence, and she couldn't figure out what this person was trying to do. All the interactions she could think of with ordinary people that could yield more information were not very useful in this situation.
"Or... let's just have a fight." As soon as his heart crossed, the energy core in his body began to spin crazily.
