Chapter 101 - 101: The Show Begins
Their speed had obviously slowed down because the snow was getting denser and denser. If you used an ordinary shovel to dig, you had to pry it bit by bit.
It was almost nighttime, and the sky was already dark. However, these people had no intention of going back.
They had already dug a lot. If they left now, the pit they had painstakingly dug might be snatched away by others.
They had not eaten anything at noon, and many of them were already starving.
“I, I’m a little hungry. Why don’t we go back first, Big Brother Zhao…”
It was Wang Wei who spoke first. Hunger after a full meal was worse than starving every day.
“But this pit? Why don’t we discuss it with people above the pit and take turns guarding?”
Everyone was also a little anxious. It was already nighttime, and it was time for Ye Xingchen to distribute the supplies. Would Ye Xingchen not distribute their share if they were not around?
However, if they left rashly, leaving the pit they dug, which was the deepest, and it was occupied by others, wouldn’t it be a waste?
At the same time, some people had different thoughts.
If he could snatch more supplies back here, then he wouldn’t have to listen to Ye Xingchen anymore, and he wouldn’t have to be treated like a beggar by Ye Xingchen for that little bit of food!
“Why don’t we take turns guarding this pit? Everyone will take turns digging?”
It was Wang Wei who suggested it first. He was not full to begin with, and after working for so long, he did not have much strength left.
“Moreover, once this pit is dug out, when the supermarket is dug out, it’s not just Brother Zhao and 1 who will take the goods. Everyone will have a share.” The people above the pit wanted to refuse the first sentence, but Wang Wei’s next sentence made them shut up.
They really hoped that Wang Wei and Zhao Hao would be the only ones working hard. After all, Wang Wei and Zhao Hao had been working hard for so long without a single complaint.
“Aiya, Little Wei, what are you saying?”
“How can we just let the two of you contribute? We just don’t have enough tools.”
“Alright, alright. You and Brother Zhao have been busy all day. You two go rest and go back to get food.”
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows. He was somewhat grateful to Wang Wei. He had only eaten a few mouthfuls of biscuits at noon, and now he was indeed unable to hold on any longer.
“Okay, then Wang Wei and I will go back and eat something first.”
When Zhao Hao returned, Ye Xingchen was preparing to distribute the supplies.
Ye Xingchen didn’t deduct their shares. After listening to Zhao Hao’s explanation, Ye Xingchen grabbed a handful and threw it into the bag, asking Zhao Hao to bring it to them.
Ye Xingchen gave Zhao Hao a pinhole camera and asked him to place it on a tree nearby. Zhao Hao readily agreed.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
After a week of taking turns digging, the supermarket that was buried under the snow was finally completely dug out.
Ye Xingchen was leaning on the sofa with Lin Sijia in her arms, watching the situation on the screen.
Ye Xingchen put a spicy snack stick into his mouth. “Oooh, the show is about to begin.”
The supermarket was dug out. In an instant, the atmosphere there changed.
Everyone had ulterior motives and wished that everything in the supermarket was theirs.
Zhao Hao also sent a message to Ye Xingchen.
“Good news, good news! The supermarket had been dug out! Little Ye, do you have anything you want to bring? I’ll bring some back for you!”
“It’s fine. Brother Zhao, just take what you need. You don’t have to consider me.”
After Ye Xingchen replied, he threw his phone aside. The show that he had been waiting for so long was finally about to begin.
Previously, when the supermarket was buried in the snow, everyone was still very hypocritical and polite to each other. Now that the supermarket was dug up, they no longer had to be polite to others.
Through the screen, Ye Xingchen only saw an unfamiliar person move first. He rammed into the supermarket door without caring about anything and raised the weapon in his hand to smash the supermarket door.
With someone taking the lead, the others began to smash the door, afraid that someone else would beat them to it.
Everyone began to move. Now that everyone was taking the initiative to smash the door, they were no longer as lazy as when they were digging snow.
A whole row of iron gates was dented by iron bars, shovels, and machetes. It was different from the material used by Ye Xingchen for his house. In a short while, the rolling gates were broken by everyone, and the glass door too.
The glass used was tempered glass, which was harder than ordinary glass, but it was still not as good as the glass used in Ye Xingchen’s house.
After a few strikes of the shovel, cracks appeared on the glass door.
Ye Xingchen also began to get excited. He was so excited that it was as if he was at the scene.
“Crash!”
Glass shards scattered all over the ground. Some people could not wait to rush into the supermarket.
The others followed closely behind, and Zhao Hao was pushed to the back.
“Wow, they finally went into the supermarket!”
Even Lin Sijia, who was beside Ye Xingchen, was watching attentively. When the supermarket was dug out, Zhao Hao had already attached the camera Ye Xingchen gave him to his hat, so Ye Xingchen could almost be said to be watching from a first-person perspective.
After a period of chaos, it was a large-scale sweep.
Zhao Hao listened to Li Anran’s words and went straight to the infant section as soon as he entered the supermarket.
The food area outside had already been snatched by them crazily, and many things had been swept to the ground.
There was no one on Zhao Hao’s side. After all, everyone was here for food at this time. Who had the mood to care about maternity supplies? Even those who had children at home, their children had long frozen to death.
His backpack was filled with baby milk powder and diapers, as well as a lot of rice cereal and baby toys. Zhao Hao was the last to enter the supermarket, but he was the first to leave.
He wanted to take the backpack home and change it into the biggest travel bag.
The food in the cooked food area had long been frozen into ice. There was a lot of marinated and preserved food inside. Wang Wei packed a lot into the bag he brought.
After the apocalypse, he and Li Qiang did not eat this again, even if it was just bones.
For the time being, the entire supermarket was still peaceful. There was no other reason than that they had just entered and there were not many people. There was still enough food for them to split..
