Survivor's Guide to Survival

Chapter 8 Going to the Supermarket

Because they had no money, the two college students spent more than half an hour in the dormitory to scrape together [-] yuan from various corners. Looking at the purchase fund composed of various one-dollar and five-dollar banknotes, the rich and handsome little prince Guo Lu's mood was extremely complicated: "The last time I was so sad was when I was in high school and went out to play games secretly with my deskmate over the wall."

"At this special time, please be considerate." Huo Yizhou patted Guo Lu on the shoulder and comforted him.

Guo Lu touched those crumpled banknotes with great care, and was very moved: "Xiaozhou, I think we are really good. I read that the end of the world is coming in novels, and the protagonist usually walks into the store. Just take it directly, we are still pooling money."

Huo Yizhou didn't dare to tell Guo Lu the rest of the sentence. After the game started, it would be a problem whether the supermarket salespersons would work or not. He collected money to go to the supermarket at this moment purely for the last thought of a civilized society.

After closing the door and going downstairs, the two stayed on each floor for a while, wanting to see if there were any survivors on other floors.Finally, a few people were found walking around on the fifth and fourth floors. The doors on the third floor were closed, but the sound of guitar strings could be heard from the door near the stairs. Someone should be playing hard. For play.There was no sound on the second floor, and it seemed that everyone had disappeared.The first floor is the service hall. The auntie’s work and lounge are behind the window in the hall. The two went around to the window and looked in. The auntie was not in the room, but there was a pool of black sand under the table.

The two stood at the same angle, so they naturally had a panoramic view of the picture.After seeing the black sand under the counter, Guo Lu's mood, which was a little light because he went to the supermarket, suddenly became heavy again.

Although until she disappeared, the dormitory auntie still did not explain the truth about the circuit repair to anyone in the building, but when the situation was not clear, she registered the disappeared children one by one, and she must have been worried. Feeling uneasy?And even at such a moment, she still just calmed down and asked everyone to minimize going out.

Guo Lu was in a daze, when he heard footsteps around him, he turned his head and saw Huo Yizhou walking towards this side holding a camellia.

Huo Yizhou carefully placed the camellia where the window was facing the desk, stepped back a few steps, respectfully bowed three times towards the window, then raised his head to stare deeply at the black sand under the table, and said softly : "Thank you for the compressed biscuit."

Following his example, Guo Lu stepped back and bowed, and said silently in his heart: Thank you for the compressed biscuits.

After finishing all this, Huo Yizhou turned around and called Guo Lu to follow: "Let's go, let's go to the supermarket."

Guo Lu walked up to Huo Yizhou's side in three or two steps, and tried to break the dull atmosphere by changing the subject: "Xiao Zhou, where did your camellia come from?"

It happened that the two walked out of the dormitory building. Huo Yizhou pointed to the camellia tree outside the dormitory building. The large camellias on the tree were blooming brilliantly. He said to Guo Lu, "Picked from the tree."

Glancing at the three-meter-high camellia tree at the door, Guo Lu, who is 1.8 meters tall, felt that Huo Yizhou had changed: "Xiaozhou, can you reach it?"

Huo Yizhou, who is 1.7 meters seven, glanced at Guo Lu, saw his suspicious eyes, moved his wrist and ankle calmly, and then quickly climbed up the tree with incomparable dexterity.

There were many camellias still blooming on the tree. Huo Yizhou supported the trunk with one hand, and reached the flower blooming on the top of the tree with the other hand. Guo Lu stepped on the tree branch and jumped down with ease.

The camellia was fluttering and falling to the ground in the wind, Guo Lu held up the flower with both hands, held it in front of his eyes, and looked at his friend who had landed easily, and said in disbelief: "Strong!" Oh brother, keep it hidden."

"Basic survival skills." Huo Yizhou still had a calm expression, and didn't think it was something to brag about.

Guo Lu shook his head frantically: "No, no, no, this is not basic at all! How did you practice?" The bare tree trunk and the lowest branch were also on his forehead, and he looked at Huo Yizhou almost as if he was flying. Jumped down to the tree.

Huo Yizhou thought for a while and said, "First of all, there must be a tall enough tree by the wall of your yard."

Guo Lu nodded fiercely: "Yes, yes, there are all kinds of trees in my garden... Once there are trees, what then?"

"Secondly," a nostalgic smile suddenly appeared on Huo Yizhou's lips, "You have to have enough motivation."

There is a tree next to the wall of the orphanage, and Huo Yizhou's original motivation to climb the tree was to meet Ning Xiao.

——When Ning Xiao was in his third year of high school, the school required boarding.Huo Yizhou, who was only in the first year of junior high school, often climbed trees and slipped from the orphanage to Ning Xiao's high school at night.

Of course, his hiding skills are clumsy. Every time he peeked under the window for a short time, he would be caught by Squad Leader Ning who was sitting on the podium in charge of discipline, and then Ning Xiao would say "help the teacher" "As an excuse, Huo Yizhou was sent back forcibly.

"Xiaozhou? Xiaozhou?" Huo Yizhou came back to his senses, seeing Guo Lu looking at him curiously, he calmed down and smiled at him: "Let's go, I will teach you how to climb trees when I have a chance."

Guo Lu still wanted to ask Huo Yizhou something, but when he saw that he lowered his head and refused to speak, he held back his words.

The main campus of Nancheng University is very large, and there are five supermarkets on campus. The two decided to go to the Hualian supermarket closest to the accommodation area to check the situation.Walking on the way to Hualian Supermarket, the two of them could only occasionally see three or two classmates who were in a hurry. The campus lost the hustle and bustle of the past, leaving only emptiness and loneliness.

When they were about to reach the Hualian Supermarket, the two found that there were finally more people. People with their hands full came out of the supermarket, and hurriedly turned towards the dormitory building with their heads down.

"Xiao Zhou, let's go quickly," Guo Lu saw that there were so many people in the supermarket, and became anxious, pulling Huo Yizhou's sleeve and urging, "If you slow down, everything in the supermarket will be robbed."

Squeezing in among countless people who came out of the supermarket, Huo Yizhou found that there were still many people shopping in the supermarket.There is a small blackboard at the front of the shelf, the blackboard is densely packed with chalk and the prices of various things are written, and there is a long queue at the cash register, and there are several tall students from the sports academy standing at the cash register Next to the stage, it acts as a human monitor.

"It seems that it is not as bad as we imagined." Guo Lu looked at the orderly team and felt relieved.

Huo Yizhou watched as the girl standing in front of the cashier put a lot of snacks on the cashier, took out the money from her wallet, and handed it to one of the students of the Physical Education College. The student confirmed that the amount of money was correct before passing it on to the next A classmate with a flat head, Xiao Pingtou counted the items in the shopping bag and handed it to the girl.The girl took the shopping bag, said "thank you" to the boys, and left the supermarket quickly.

It was clearly an orderly picture, but Huo Yizhou could see a sense of disobedience from the middle.He stared at the transaction process of the next person, trying to find out the discordant factor.

"Xiao Zhou, what are you still doing? Hurry up and get something!" Guo Lu had already finished his shopping basket and went in to buy something.

Huo Yizhou responded, and finally turned his head to look at the cash register. Xiaopingtou was passing the shopping bag to the next classmate.

I hope it's my own overthinking, right?Huo Yizhou secretly prayed.

A day has passed, and although many people still don't know what happened, the fact that the power outage and the cafeteria is closed is in front of them. Therefore, when the two walked to the food shelf, a shelf had already been moved by the students. It is empty, and there are still students desperately moving things on the remaining four shelves.

Guo Lu glanced at the dazzling array of snacks, swallowed his saliva: "Xiaozhou, what should we buy for home?"

"Hungry is the most important thing," Huo Yizhou said, "Bread, compressed biscuits, self-heating rice, canned food, instant noodles... Oh, there is no electricity and hot water can't be boiled, so temporarily exclude instant noodles from the food list. In short, buy the staple food first. "

What Huo Yizhou could think of, other smart Nancheng University students naturally thought of it too. The two of them carefully read the food on the remaining four shelves, and only then did they judge that what Huo Yizhou had just mentioned was on the emptied shelf. food.In the end, Guo Lu dug out a bag of French buns that were hidden among several bags of potato chips from the innermost shelf, and handed it to Huo Yizhou like a treasure: "Comrade Xiaozhou, our brothers have lunch and dinner today." landed."

Huo Yizhou's eyes wandered between the shelves, and suddenly he bent down and found two bags of dried fruits and vegetables from the bottom of the shelf.

"Dried fruits and vegetables?" Guo Lu scratched his head, "Isn't this the girl's favorite food?"

Huo Yizhou said calmly, "Take it as eating fruit." Maybe after a while, even fruit won't be available.

The two of them took some dried tofu, beef jerky, and chocolate that hadn't been taken away, and then went to the daily necessities area to get two flashlights.Guo Lu saw the milk on the promotional counter, took two boxes back, and turned around to find that Huo Yizhou had thrown several boxes of matches into the basket.

"We are really living a life in a primitive society," Guo Lu said happily. "Fortunately, we have matches. Otherwise, we have to learn how to drill wood to make fire first. How exciting."

"Come on!" A girl next to him heard Guo Lu's words, glared at him angrily, and walked away with a shopping cart.

Guo Lu froze in place, feeling that he was wronged: "No... can I just talk about it casually?"

Huo Yizhou said to Guo Lu earnestly: "Lu Zi, you should try not to talk if you can."

After purchasing, the two walked to the end of the line with both hands full of things.Huo Yizhou just put the milk on the ground, and when he looked up, he met Xiaopingtou's dark eyes.
