Chapter 22 - What was the most precious and difficult thing to find in the apocalypse? (1)

Just as Bei Nuan was stunned, she felt someone poking her arm.

It was that man. He was still gasping for breath. He finally succeeded in his struggle to say something. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Phone -"

It sounded as if every syllable was squeezed out from a narrow gap in his throat.

He wanted to borrow a cellphone?

Bei Nuan hastily took out her phone by touch and stuffed it in his hand.

He laboriously dialed a number, but wasn't able to say anything for a while. Finally, he squeezed out three syllables, "Bat-ter-y."

Bei Nuan glanced at the shelf behind him and suddenly understood what he was trying to say."

Bei Nuan helped him out by saying into the phone, "He's over at the aisle with batteries."

A few minutes later, a woman rushed over and took out an inhaler from her bag.

The man trembled as he sprayed and inhaled a few times. His breathing slowly smoothed out.

Wild laughter sounded in her head. Her Holy Mother value had risen again.

The woman held Bei Nuan's hand and kept thanking her. As it turned out, this couple had heard the news of the virus outbreak and rushed to the supermarket to buy supplies before leaving Ningcheng. They had gotten separated. Unfortunately, his phone and inhaler were in her bag.

The man hadn't been infected by the zombie virus at all. No wonder she didn't complete her task.

In any case, she had successfully increased her Holy Mother value.

Seeing that it was a false alarm, Lu Xingchi motioned to Bei Nuan to meet him at the entrance and left.

After Bei Nuan paid for her purchases and walked to the entrance with many bags, she saw that Lu Xingchi was already in the jeep. The back seats were piled up with so much stuff that she couldn't see the back seats. There were also many things piled up on the floor of the parking lot.

There were all sorts of tools that Bei Nuan didn't recognize as well as large containers of purified water, batteries, etc. Who knows where Lu Xingchi had bought all of that stuff.

Du Ruo hadn't returned yet.

Lu Xingchi jumped down from the jeep. He checked over Bei Nuan's purchases, picked out some of the items, and put them into the trunk, and then he pointed at the bags on the ground.

"Put the rest of the stuff in your pocket space," he said in a leisurely tone.

Bei Nuan: "..."

He had said, "pocket space."

Big boss, do you have to guess so accurately?

Lu Xingchi observed Bei Nuan's expression. There was an imperceptible curve to his lips.

"I already figured out that your special power is a pocket space. At the gas station, I saw you take out a durian from thin air and hit the zombie's head. You were also the one that took away everything in the gas station convenience store, right? When I was parking the jeep, I saw that the shelves were still full through the glass windows."

She couldn't find anything to say.

Bei Nuan pouted. She bent over and tapped her fingers on the various bags on the floor. One after another, the bags disappeared.

Watching as Bei Nuan put the things on the back seat into her pocket space, Lu Xingchi asked about the dimensions of the pocket space, and then he inquired, "Can a living person hide in it?"

"Can't. If I bring in anything alive, it'll die."

Bei Nuan felt it was a pity there was such a limitation. Otherwise, wouldn't it be awesome if she could hide in it when she encountered danger?

Bei Nuan thought of that as soon as she got the pocket space and checked out the usage instructions. The instructions had said all living things would die when entering the pocket space, and as the owner of the space, she was forbidden from entering the space. If she entered it, it would count as cheating, and she would be sent straight back to her original world.

In other words, she couldn't hide anyone in it. She could only store stuff inside.

Lu Xingchi mulled it over and asked, "Will zombies die if they enter?"
