While Luo Xiao Le was secretly sneaking out to set up her stall.
At this moment, inside the small shop, the slick-haired man was chatting with his companions.
"You say that sprout, she's so weak, how has she survived until now? And yesterday she managed to sell us such powerful weapons," the slick-haired man mused, stroking his chin, looking perplexed.
"Boss, what if... she has something to do with that weapon big shot?" a subordinate ventured a reasonable guess.
"How is that possible!" The slick-haired man waved his hand dismissively. "If she were really protected by that weapon big shot, would she be acting like she's barely clinging to life, trying to escape? That big shot would have come out to protect her long ago."
"That's true. Back in the team, Mo Shen was always protecting her. She didn't have much combat ability," Zuo Ran said, having woken up at some point, joining the slick-haired man in quietly bad-mouthing Luo Xiao Le.
"I told you, my intuition is never wrong! She probably just stumbled upon a batch of weapons accidentally dropped by that weapon big shot, and that's how she could sell them to us," the slick-haired man said, looking at Zuo Ran with admiration.
Her words seemed to validate his point, making him feel quite pleased.
"But she doesn't accept supplies, only money and items... What can you do with that in this apocalypse?" the subordinate was still somewhat confused.
"People don't do things without personal gain. She's collecting these to probably trade with that weapon big shot for supplies. Everyone has their little quirks, and the person who makes weapons is no exception!" the slick-haired man said impatiently, waving his hand.
"Alright, let's take this opportunity to head to that supermarket again today and stock up on supplies while we can," the slick-haired man, wanting to impress Zuo Ran with his wisdom and courage, began to issue commands in a leader-like manner.
Just then, Luo Xiao Le pushed open the shop door and walked in.
Seeing Luo Xiao Le looking cheerful and elated, the slick-haired man felt a pang of irritation.
This little sprout was clearly so weak, yet why did he always feel from the bottom of his heart that she seemed fearless?
He always believed that if one was weak, they should obediently submit and lower their heads.
A team couldn't have too many weaklings.
With Zuo Ran around, he found Luo Xiao Le increasingly displeasing.
So, his eyes darted, and he decided to invite Luo Xiao Le.
"Uh, Luo... Classmate Xiao Le? Do you want to go to the supermarket with us to get supplies today?"
His eyes were full of schadenfreude. This little sprout, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, he would just take her along to "see the world."
When she encountered danger, wouldn't it still be up to them, the ability users, to save her?
This would be a perfect opportunity to curb her arrogance!
And if, by some accident, she unfortunately perished by the zombies, it wouldn't be a loss at all.
"Mmm, it's not impossible," Luo Xiao Le was precisely looking for an excuse to go out and search for the last batch of weapons to reinforce.
After all, they had taken the most food from the supermarket the day before.
At that time, they hadn't managed to grab many weapons because space was already full.
Her agreement was so prompt that the slick-haired man was somewhat surprised, then nodded guiltily, allowing her to depart with the team.
Luo Xiao Le looked at Mo Shen.
His wound was deep, and he was still recovering his energy, spending most of his time drowsy and asleep.
She gritted her teeth, deciding to use this outing to search for the traces of the stealthy arrow attacker.
After instructing Luo Shu to stay and take care of Mo Shen.
She then joined Zhu Hui and Zhou Xiao Jun, becoming part of today's "Supermarket Supply Team."
She left with the slick-haired man and the others to go to the supermarket for supplies.
"Go, follow her!" The two who coveted Luo Xiao Le's ring watched Luo Xiao Le following the main group.
Each carrying a large nylon bag, they stealthily followed.
Upon arriving at the supermarket entrance, Luo Xiao Le pinched her nose.
They had already grown accustomed to the smell of zombie blood.
However, after two days of fermentation, this black blood had continuously mixed and accumulated in patches on the ground, fermenting.
At this moment, it emitted a strong odor, like stinky tofu.
"Gag..." Zhu Hui and the others couldn't help but retch.
"Without further ado, let's hurry inside to get supplies and get out of here," the slick-haired man, pinching his nose, commanded.
After checking that there were no zombies inside, everyone dispersed throughout the supermarket.
They began to collect supplies according to different sections.
Luo Xiao Le, at this moment, was striding with light steps, heading towards the tools section as if she knew the way.
"Great! There are still so many cleavers left that we didn't take!" She quickly returned to her "old profession."
Finding a secluded corner, she began to reinforce weapons.
At this time, there were many other survivors in the supermarket, who had also heard the news and came to collect supplies.
The place was a mixture of people, with unfamiliar faces everywhere.
"Strange, where is she?" The two followed the group in and wandered through the food section several times.
They couldn't see Luo Xiao Le's figure anywhere.
"Probably slacking off somewhere!"
"So useless! Forget it, there are too many people now. Let's grab some supplies first, and we'll find her later. That sprout can't run away anyway!"
"That's true!"
Greed flashed in the eyes of the two.
They directly swept all the food on the shelves in front of them into their nylon bags with the attitude of "leaving none behind."
At this moment, a dispute suddenly erupted from another corner of the supermarket.
"Snatching other people's things, that's not good!" a female voice suddenly called out.
"Snatch? Ridiculous, what right do you have to say snatch?" the slick-haired man said fiercely, trying to intimidate the girl in front of him with his aura.
The girl was a tall woman, about 1.75 meters, with sharp black ear-length hair and dressed in a neat black suit.
She glared at the slick-haired man, "We saw it first and were in the process of taking it. You barge in, isn't that called snatching?"
The slick-haired man retorted, "Whoever gets it first gets it. It's all about who has the ability, ridiculous."
The girl's eyes were filled with defiance, and she menacingly raised the weapon in her hand.
She glared at the slick-haired man, who had stolen the goods and was acting nonchalant.
Tension filled the air, and war felt imminent!
The sprout Luo Xiao Le, at this very moment, was behind the shelves from them.
She heard their argument.
"This slick-haired guy is causing trouble again!"
She shook her head and focused, finishing reinforcing the last pot next to her.
Then she shrunk it down and put it into her pocket, patting it fondly.
【46 weapons have been reinforced, costing 9200 mall coins, remaining balance 159350 mall coins】
The familiar system announcement sounded in her mind.
Luo Xiao Le then pushed herself up and turned to walk out from behind the shelves.
"Didn't you guys already collect a lot of supplies?" Luo Xiao Le asked with round, almond-shaped eyes, feigning innocence.
Just now, she had clearly seen from the gaps that the slick-haired man and the others had grabbed a lot of food from other shelves, their pockets stuffed full.
This fruit can shelf was indeed the first the girl had come to.
The slick-haired man coming to take the cans was probably to appease Zuo Ran?
This was not honest.
"What does it have to do with you?" the slick-haired man said fiercely, "Who are you siding with? I told you to go upstairs to collect food, what are you doing here!"
"There are zombies upstairs, I don't dare to go," Luo Xiao Le said, appearing somewhat scared.
"However, Zuo Ran doesn't seem to like eating canned food. If you take this back, she probably won't be happy," she blinked, hitting the nail on the head.
"..." The slick-haired man was suddenly struck at his sore spot.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
"Don't let me see you again next time!" he threatened the girl, finally turning to leave.
He planned to go find something that Zuo Ran might like.
"Don't mind him," Luo Xiao Le said to the sharp-looking girl, "I know another shelf with even more delicious food."
With that, she led the girl to a shelf that others hadn't had time to clear out yet.
It was full of food that was both filling and nutritious.
Enough for the girl to take away.
The girl exuded an aura of a mature woman, and seemed to be not young.
Perhaps a little surprised that Luo Xiao Le, so frail, dared to stand up to help her, she raised an eyebrow.
"Thank you." She seemed a little unaccustomed to expressing thanks, but she said it anyway.
"Heh heh, you're welcome." Her task was complete, and Luo Xiao Le intended to leave. "I'm going now. See you next time if there's a chance."
After saying that, she patted her already bulging small pocket.
She had obtained what she wanted.
While Zhu Hui and Zhou Xiao Jun hadn't come out yet, she wanted to go out and check if there were any traces of the sneak attacker on the third floor.
As soon as Luo Xiao Le stepped out of the supermarket.
The two who had been lying in wait at the supermarket entrance immediately followed her.
"This time out, Young Master Zhou only gave us one mission: to find the ring! So we must snatch this one of hers back!"
"Absolutely! Don't forget, in the base controlled by Young Master Zhou, one ring can be exchanged for a lot of supplies! This time, if we find a few more rings, we'll be living large when we get back!"
"If this sprout doesn't give up the ring..." one of them said, making a throat-slitting gesture.
The other's eyes also gleamed with malice.
Luo Xiao Le's walking pace wasn't fast, and she soon fell behind.
Then, in a certain moment.
She was shocked to find her hands and feet suddenly unable to move. She was frozen in place, maintaining her walking posture...
How could she be here... stiff... and immobile?
