I have been sleeping for 500 years and I opened a supermarket in the end times

Ji Yan skipped down the stairs happily.

Her footsteps were light and made no sound on the wooden floor.

Yao Xue followed behind her, limping and walking slowly.

Ji Yan came to the ninth floor, took a deep breath, and became excited.

She pushed open the window on the east wall, put her hands above her eyebrows, and lay on the windowsill to look out for a while.

Yao Xue glanced at the slightly messy interior of the ninth floor and lowered her eyes to think.

Does the boss have other motives, or is she simply, as she said, just feeling the bloody smell on the tenth floor is too strong and coming out to get some fresh air?

Yao Xue stared intently at Ji Yan, who was only two or three steps away from her, trying to get some clues from her, but found nothing.

On the contrary, it made Yao Xue's mood suddenly become complicated.

The distance between them was so close! If Yao Xue had evil intentions at this moment, she could push Ji Yan down with a push.

Ji Yan almost leaned half of her body on the windowsill, with her hands placed above her eyes to block the bright light, without any basic defense.

Yao Xue smiled bitterly, wondering if she was too confident in her own abilities, or if she was too inexperienced to know how treacherous people are.

Or maybe, out of trust in Yao Xue?

Yao Xue shook her head and dismissed the idea.

Ji Yan had seen enough of the bugs below, turned around to look at the messy surroundings, walked to the desk closest to her, pushed away the objects piled on the desk, supported herself on the table with both hands, and sat down directly, with her feet a little off the ground, swaying from time to time.

She picked up a tablet on the desk and looked at it over and over again.

Yao Xue thought she felt that the office equipment here was too poor, and said, "The Chenfeng base is too poor, and there are not many people. They can't afford the most basic intelligent computer-A1, so they use a tablet instead... This is ridiculous, isn't it?"

Ji Yan looked normal. She glanced at her and then lowered her head to continue playing with her tablet. "It's okay... By the way, I want to know, how did you and Fang Fei escape from the insect swarm?"

Yao Xue was startled, then showed gratitude: "I used salt water to dissolve them, so they escaped."

"Salt water?" Ji Yan looked at her in confusion.

Yao Xue smiled sheepishly and said, "In fact, the salt water we used at the beginning didn't work, and it made them even more aggressive..."

"But after Xiao Fei accidentally used the salt water she bought from you to mix, the mutant bloodworms actually melted away like before."

"Actually, I wanted to ask you just now, does your supermarket sell table salt? I feel like if I use the table salt you sell with the water you sell, the effect might be better."

"Salt?"

Ji Yan casually swiped on the tablet without looking up, and complained slightly, "Ah... That damn supermarket only has a few kinds of goods, not even a grain of salt."

Yao Xue: “…Alas.”

She watched Ji Yan's movements: "But, there is no signal now, what are you playing?"

"Clang clang clang clang!"

Ji Yan turned over the tablet and held it up for her to see.

On the tablet is a global map that was updated this year.

"..." Yao Xue took the tablet, a little confused, "What does this have to do with the topic we are discussing?"

"It's okay!" Ji Yan said frankly, "I'm just too bored. Just now, when I heard you say that salt water can easily get rid of these annoying bugs, I remembered that I spent a lot of effort to kill all those bugs this morning. If only I had salt."

There was salt in Ji Yan's kitchen, but she just heard what Yao Xue said and realized from the word "before" that this strange insect might have existed on the earth for a long time.

The reason why people did not pay attention to them before is probably because their harmfulness is minimal and the solution is also very convenient. It can be solved by mixing common salt with water.

But now they have changed for some reason, and the old methods no longer work for them...

That's not the case. At least they can be solved by using water from supermarket 001 and ordinary salt.

Ji Yan blinked. Could it be that the water in Supermarket No. 001 was the legendary "spiritual spring water"?

This is going...

Forget it.

Ji Yan was quite helpless, as she had read novels where science fiction and apocalypse stories turned into fantasy in seconds.

I hope that as an ordinary human being, she will not be crushed to death on the beach by the trend of changing times.

Woo woo woo (?;︵;`)

Yao Xue looked at Ji Yan and frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something. Then she blinked and her expression became excited. But in an instant, for some reason, her slightly red eyes turned down a little, and she pursed her lips. Her pale lips became even paler after the instant blush. She seemed a little sad.

This series of emotional changes happened in just a few seconds.

Yao Xue swallowed and quietly stepped back.

"But the way to leave here is very simple!" Ji Yan's emotions came and went quickly, and she began to laugh happily again, "So don't worry too much!"

Yao Xue was silent for a moment, trying not to change her expression too much: "Excuse me, what is the method?"

"Didn't you buy my nuclear-powered bicycle before?" Ji Yan placed her hands on both sides of her body, resting them on the table, and leaned back a little. "Why don't you ride that one?"

"My bicycle is outside the base and I can't get it." Yao Xue had thought about this when the insect plague broke out, but the plague came too suddenly and too violently. "Besides, the bicycle can't accommodate four of us."

"I can help you get it back!" Ji Yan said in a cheerful tone, with a faint smile on her face.

"As for the second question, that's even easier." She put her feet together and swayed rhythmically.

"I can help you take your relatives." Ji Yan stretched out her arms and moved her body. "It's a bit crowded with the elderly and children, plus me, but there's still room for them."

Yao Xue was stunned, and a feeling of gratitude mixed with doubt filled her heart.

She didn't think that their relationship was good enough for Ji Yan to help her unconditionally.

“…Although it’s rude to ask…”

"Since you know it's impolite, you still say it out loud." Ji Yan yawned sleepily and said casually, "Then there must be a reason why you have to say it."

Yao Xue: "...Why do you want to help me? I know that I have no value worth calculating, and you and I are just casual acquaintances. So I really don't understand why you choose to help me."

Ji Yan glanced at her lazily: "If you want to help, then help. Why do you need a reason?"

"..."

She added casually: "I don't need reasons for doing things, I just do what I feel."

"But..." She tilted her head and said innocently, "If there must be a reason..."

"I think it's the chick complex..."

Her voice was extremely light, and the words she spoke seemed to be blown away by the wind, causing Yao Xue to be unsure of what she had heard.

Before Yao Xue could react, a burst of cheerful laughter filled the room.

The owner of the laughter waved at her, jumped down from the table, and said, "Bye, I'm going to catch up on some sleep!"

After saying that, she walked downstairs briskly, leaving Yao Xue staring at her back in a daze.
