Chapter 20 - Being taken care of by a boss (2)

In the novel, a series of car accidents on S1 highway had blocked the only road from City S to Ningchen and bought precious hours for the people of Ningcheng to evacuate.

By arriving a few hours before that time, when Ningcheng was still in normal operations, Lu Xingchi and his team had replenished their supplies in the novel without issues.

But now, although the zombies hadn't reached Ningcheng, the city was in a state of panic. The cars were lined up on the road, and there were many families trying to leave with big and small bags. The crossroads were heavily blocked.

Everyone was irritable, and the sound of honking was unending.

Everyone was in a hurry to withdraw cash, but there was no one in front of the ATM. The ATM had probably run out of cash a long time ago. The nearby bank was overcrowded, and the line to withdraw cash extended to the outside and wrapped around several corners too.

Lu Xingchi drove the jeep to the parking lot of a large supermarket. The supermarket was very big with several floors and had a comprehensive set of goods.

Bei Nuan felt a bit pained. There wasn't much cash in the wallet she had found in the backpack. She couldn't buy much at all. She could only carefully plan and buy the things she needed the most.

If she wanted, she could move anything into her pocket space with a slight movement of her fingers. However, Ningcheng was still considered normal now. Other than everyone's grave expression, it wasn't that different from normal times.

Bei Nuan couldn't take the step to steal.

While Bei Nuan was struggling over this moral dilemma, Lu Xingchi commanded, "Split up to go shopping. We'll meet in the parking lot in two hours."

Bei Nuan immediately set out to do that and turned around, but someone grabbed her backpack from behind. Her feet left the ground as her backpack was pulled up.

Lu Xingchi took out a credit card and gave it to her.

"Use this. Buy food and our daily necessities. Girls are more careful. You won't forget to buy important things."

Lu Xingchi lightly said, "Buy whatever you want with it. Buy as much as possible. This card will become worthless in a few days."

Bei Nuan immediately felt as if she was being taken care of by a boss. He had a lot of foresight and what he said was completely right.

In a few days, the internet would become paralyzed and the connection between bank branches would be cut off. The money in bank accounts would become a string of meaningless numbers that couldn't be taken out.

Bei Nuan put the credit card away. Pushing a shopping cart, she went on a wild shopping spree.

Some of the shelves in the supermarket were already bare. Most people were rushing to buy food that could be stored for a long time: rice, noodles, oil, salt, milk powder, canned food, biscuits, instant noodles, etc.

Bei Nuan was different. She only needed to put items on the upper level of her pocket space, where time was frozen, and she wouldn't have to worry about preservation and expiration dates.

She put all sorts of vegetables, fruits, seafood, meat, eggs, and dairy into her shopping cart. She freely piled up the shopping cart with kitchen utensils, blankets, pillows, and even added towels, toothbrushes, paper towels, and various hygiene products.

What a cool feeling to not have to worry about money.
