Luo Shu was secretly taking out a small piece of bread, looking at Luo Xiao Le with a confused expression.
"All of it? Xiao Le, what are you trying to do?" he asked, reaching into his own spatial storage.
He first rummaged through the things closest to him.
He pulled out 4 types of chocolate of different brands, and 3 types of biscuits of different kinds.
"Wait a moment!" Luo Xiao Le suddenly thought of a problem.
The system had only said at the time that she needed to collect 100 different types of food, along with enough shop coins, to activate the food stall.
But in the system's judgment, would these 4 different chocolates count as 4 types of food, or just one?
Seeing Zhou Xiao Jun facing away from them, sitting properly by the door and acting as a lookout while eavesdropping.
Luo Shu next to him also stuck half his body into his spatial storage, continuing to search for something.
Luo Xiao Le didn't hesitate any longer. She grabbed the chocolates and biscuits that Luo Shu had just taken out.
With a shift of her thoughts, she directly entered the commercial street in her system.
Cyberpunk-like magnificent lights lit up the street. Apart from the food stall, no other shops were unlocked.
So she directly found the location of the food stall.
Towards the shop front, there was a place that looked like a transaction window. She looked at it strangely for a few moments.
She handed over all the chocolates and biscuits.
"Ding dong."
The window indeed produced a mechanical, hoarse, yet orderly broadcast.
[Detected that the host has collected 2 different types of food. Please continue to strive.]
Only two?
Luo Xiao Le's eyes widened. So, regardless of the brand, as long as it was chocolate, it counted as one type of food, and biscuits were the same.
She roughly understood.
Familiarizing herself with the system's judgment rules for different foods,
Luo Xiao Le flashed out of her spatial storage.
She saw Luo Shu holding 3 bottles of drinks, looking around vigilantly.
Mo Chen's right hand was also pressed tightly against the hilt of his saber, his eyes icy and sharp.
It looked as if a great battle was about to begin.
"Mo Chen? Luo Shu? What's wrong with you two?" Luo Xiao Le was initially startled, but sensing no stiffness warning in her body, she asked strangely.
"Ah? Xiao Le, you're not stiff!" Luo Shu then tossed the drinks aside, looking surprised.
The fierce aura around Mo Chen seemed to recede instantly, and he returned to his usual expressionless state.
"So I was stiff just now?" Luo Xiao Le was also stunned.
She thought she could hide from the zombies as long as she entered her spatial storage!
But she hadn't expected that by merely entering the system's spatial storage with her mind, her body would still remain in the real world.
This meant she couldn't use her spatial storage to avoid danger...
Hiss, as expected, to a certain extent, she still had to rely on her teammates.
Luo Xiao Le sighed softly.
"Right Luo Shu, for the same type, it doesn't matter how many brands there are, just give me one. One drink is enough too." Her expression was slightly dejected.
Thus, Luo Xiao Le obtained a large portion of the food previously stored in her spatial storage.
She also continuously transported items within her system's spatial storage, taking in cereal, dried tofu, seaweed, and a series of other foods.
[Detected that the host has collected 78 different types of food. Please continue to strive.]
Luo Xiao Le's eyes lit up. The airport's large supermarket indeed yielded abundant results!
She had collected 78 types so quickly!
As expected, food was the fastest progressing item in her collection so far.
With this, she should be able to open the food stall after collecting another 22 types of food before long.
The only problem was that many of the foods she would find next would likely overlap with the current types.
After all, the supermarket they had been to previously was already considered well-stocked.
The shelves in other supermarkets would probably have been looted or destroyed long ago.
Therefore, these 22 different types of food would not be easy to find.
Luo Xiao Le finished her calculations.
She sat down on the ground.
Her and Luo Shu's mental energy had been almost depleted from constantly entering and exiting the spatial storage!
Zhou Xiao Jun, who had been standing guard at the door, turned around in panic.
"Xiao Le! I think I heard something important..."
While Luo Xiao Le and Luo Shu were busy with the food,
Zhou Xiao Jun had already overheard gossip from many people on the same floor.
He extended his ability to the corridor on the floor above.
His ability's range was actually limited, so he narrowed it down and directed his ability towards the upper floor.
In a room on the floor above,
He heard someone gasping intermittently and in pain, like a candle burning.
"Officer, are you alright!" a subordinate's voice came, sounding flustered.
"We have already contacted the Luocheng Base. They have the medicine you need, but they encountered a zombie horde on the way and can't deliver it yet. Please hold on for two more days, and we will definitely get you the medicine!"
However, the commander's consciousness was already unclear. He weakly raised his hand and waved, then fell into a coma again.
"Damn it, they dragged their feet for so long to deliver medicine. As soon as they heard that young master Qin Mingyang was coming, they immediately sent people to meet him. What is this Luocheng Base doing!" the subordinate muttered, exiting the room and angrily punching the corridor wall.
A drop of blood even seeped from his fist.
Zhou Xiao Jun was somewhat surprised. He seemed to have heard about some unknown undercurrents within this base.
He turned and told Luo Xiao Le and the others about it.
"Tsk, this Qin Mingyang is really the son of a powerful magnate. All the way here, his weapons, his special forces, and now even this base has to show them deference. What kind of world is this!" Luo Shu, while casually crossing one leg over the other, exclaimed with a sigh.
"That's strange..." Luo Xiao Le, however, sensed something slightly off.
"You say it's the apocalypse, and everyone's money is worthless. Even if the Qin family is rich, they couldn't possibly dispatch these equipment and special forces so quickly in a life-or-death situation, could they? We are so far from the capital, and after the zombie outbreak, how could they have time to reach this far..."
"That makes some sense..." Zhou Xiao Jun and Luo Shu clicked their tongues and frowned.
Unless...
The Qin family knew about this disaster beforehand...
And had made preparations.
Could they be related to the cause of the apocalypse?
But if they knew about the zombie outbreak, why didn't they have Qin Mingyang return to the capital in advance, and instead escorted him back only after the zombies broke out?
The more Luo Xiao Le thought about it, the more something felt wrong.
The Qin family's actions were truly too bizarre...
"Things, or people." Mo Chen finally uttered five words.
Luo Xiao Le turned to look at him.
The information in her mind exploded instantly.
She seemed to suddenly understand something.
Mo Chen was implying that Qin Mingyang was either looking for a person or a thing...
Could it be the other ring that her uncle had given him?
Even after the apocalypse broke out, he was still here looking for a ring...
Could it be that his ring was related to the cause of the zombies?
