The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies

The rescue team had no time to dwell on this issue; apart from ongoing apologies, logistics was unable to promptly deliver large quantities of mineral water.

And surprisingly, there was still a supermarket that survived in this neighborhood.

So the rescue team came with a try-and-see attitude, thinking they would buy as much water as they could.

"Okay, I'll give you a discount."

Hua Mi chuckled upon hearing that. She put down the case of mineral water she was holding and walked back inside the Lotus Shengxing Supermarket's counter, took out a calculator, and clicked away before asking the rescue team captain who followed her inside,

"How much water do you want to buy?"

The rescue team captain, with his sharp, deep-set eyes, stared at the hickeys on Hua Mi's neck, sounding displeased,

"I'll take whatever you have."

"I have ten thousand bottles."

She stood behind the counter doing the math. Although there were over twenty thousand bottles of mineral water in her Level 1 storage, she needed to keep ten thousand as a reserve.

After saying that, Hua Mi raised her eyes to look at the rescue team captain and asked again,

"Taking all?"

The lifeguard standing behind the captain whispered,

"Captain, we can't take that much, logistics will supply us, and the supplies should arrive soon."

"Then let logistics come here to buy. Human lives are at stake, and there's no time to waste."

The rescue team captain gestured toward Hua Mi with his chin and took out his phone, saying,

"Come on, add me on WeChat, and I'll transfer the money to you. You can reimburse it from the rescue team's logistics later."

Hua Mi hesitantly took out her phone and added the captain's WeChat. On seeing his WeChat profile picture, it showed the back of a woman's head as she slept facing away from the camera.

This woman's hair was about the same length as hers, showing a fraction of her milky-white nape and the exposed half of her back shoulder had a deep purplish-red hickey.

His WeChat profile picture didn't match his tough demeanor at all.

"My name is Gong Yi."

The captain nodded at Hua Mi, asking,

"What's your name?"

"Hua Mi."

After adding him on WeChat, Hua Mi calculated a price for Gong Yi.

Gong Yi had no objections and directly transferred twenty thousand yuan to Hua Mi, then asked,

"Your little supermarket can hold ten thousand bottles of water?"

"I have a supply channel that I can use for temporary adjustments."

After Hua Mi received the transfer, the few lifeguards who came with Gong Yi began taking away the small stack of mineral water bottles outside the supermarket.

These were just over a hundred bottles, definitely not enough. They would have to come back for more later.

But Gong Yi didn't leave with his teammates. Instead, he began wandering around the supermarket.

Hua Mi let Gong Yi wander as he pleased, but when he reached the door to the Level 1 storage, her heart tightened. She was just about to say that the door couldn't be opened when Gong Yi, as if he hadn't seen the door, just glanced over it.

It seemed like he couldn't see the door to Level 1 storage.

But he still sharply noticed her unease and asked,

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just wondering what you're looking around for?"

It seemed strange to her. Gong Yi's subordinates had taken the mineral water away, so why wasn't he busy? Were there so few rescue missions?

Instead of answering, Gong Yi asked,

"Is this supermarket new? Why are the shelves so empty?"

"Yes, it is."

Hua Mi busied herself by tidying up the counter while replying casually to Gong Yi. After a while of him not leaving, she said,

"Have your rescue missions been quite idle lately? You should stock up on supplies at home, have your logistics purchase more supplies. I feel the weather is getting colder, and I'm afraid it might snow heavily this year."

While talking, she didn't hear Gong Yi join in the conversation, so Hua Mi looked up.

She saw Gong Yi leaning against an empty shelf, arms crossed, his dark eyes deeply staring at her.

Hua Mi's heart inexplicably contracted, feeling like she was targeted by a hunter. She was just about to ask him something when her phone beeped with a new WeChat notification.

It was another video call request from Fang Xin.

Hua Mi rejected it outright, and soon after, a string of text messages from Fang Xin came rushing in,

[Fang Xin: Sister, did you sell our ancestral home?]

[Fang Xin: Wow, sister, that's awesome! I heard it sold for a lot of money, didn't it? Was it three hundred thousand yuan?]

[Fang Xin: Sister, you know I just graduated and want to buy an apartment. I'm just a bit short on money. Can you give me the money from selling our ancestral home? I've already made a down payment on the apartment I like, okay?]

[Fang Xin: I know you love me the most, sister. Love you loads, I'm coming right now to get the money, and I'll bring you something delicious.]

Initially, Hua Mi had been thinking about blocking Fang Xin, but seeing such messages, she couldn't help but scoff and typed a response:

[Hua Mi: What does our family's ancestral home have to do with you?]

[Hua Mi: I've spent all the money; there's none left. If you want money, no way, but if it's my life you want, come and try to take it!]

While sending these messages, Hua Mi suddenly felt a shadow over her head—Gong Yi was standing in front of her.

He looked really tall, his whole presence shadowing her completely.

"Are you chatting with that boyfriend of yours who cheated?"

Gong Yi asked, arms crossed, his black eyes still unblinkingly fixed on Hua Mi.

She shook her head,

"Talking to a jerk, huh? How did you know..." my boyfriend cheated?

Before she could finish her inquiry, Gong Yi turned and left the supermarket, the communicator on his waist ringing.

It seemed he had again found survivors in the ruins.

Before leaving, he looked back at Hua Mi,

"Don't pick your men from a garbage heap next time."

"Huh?"

Hua Mi didn't quite catch on before Gong Yi's figure disappeared at the supermarket entrance.

After he left, Hua Mi quickly launched the "apocalypse supermarket" app, checking her supermarket's earnings. The account balance read 10,007 yuan.

Just enough to activate a level 1 factory.

Without hesitation, Hua Mi activated it.

She half-expected to see a factory literally fall from the sky next to her supermarket, but there was no such thing.

The Lotus Shengxing Supermarket remained unchanged.

Aside from the supermarket, Hua Mi looked around, then opened the level 1 storage, and upon entering, she found an extra door amidst her full stockpile of supplies.

She hurriedly opened the door to see a conveyor belt; a liquid crystal panel on the door listed the products she could now manufacture.

[Level 1 Factory: Mineral water bottle (550ML capacity)]

So, she had spent ten thousand yuan for the capability to produce mineral water bottles?

What use did she have for this feature? She wasn't collecting mineral water bottles to sell as scrap!

Unable to hide her disappointment, Hua Mi shut the small door of the level 1 factory and went back inside the supermarket, sitting behind the counter and continuing to make calls to suppliers.

She ordered ten thousand packs of instant noodles.

After all, in the apocalypse, an environment with scarce resources where people would become devils over a bite of foul food.

If she could possess ten thousand yuan worth of instant noodles, just one bite during critical times would be enough to ensure her survival in the apocalypse for a long time.
