Ye Xingchen carefully came to the first floor of the supermarket. He wore night vision goggles and narrowed his eyes to search carefully. As expected, he found a heat source.

Ye Xingchen held the axe in his hand tightly and carefully walked over.

There was only one source of heat, but it had a strange shape, like a person curled up into a ball.

He thought to himself that this person was really lucky. Ye Xingchen was already behind him.

He raised his axe and was about to chop down when he was shocked to realize that this living creature actually… A dog?

Ye Xingchen was stunned. He took a few steps back and took out a portable lamp from his space and shone it in that direction.

He saw a skinny black dog lying next to a corpse, curled up into a ball and sleeping.

A dog? A living dog?

Ye Xingchen coughed lightly, took out a ham sausage from his space, and threw it on the dog’s head, waking up the half-asleep black dog.

“Woo…”

With a low whine, the black dog supported itself with its two front legs and trembled, unable to stand up. It fell back down with a thud and could only weakly bare its teeth at Ye Xingchen.

Looking at the corpse beside the dog, Ye Xingchen raised the lamp and used it to look around. He understood.

The supermarket was very big. The area on the first floor sold fresh fruits and vegetables, while clothes were sold on the second floor.

It was probably during the time when the entire city was out of power. The heating in the supermarket was gone, and the cold wind outside poured in, freezing the people on the first floor to death.

One had to know that under extreme cold, ordinary people would not even survive for two hours.

It was a pity that they didn’t last until the officials restored the power supply for two hours a day.

On the second floor, there were not many corpses. Looking at the mess on the first floor, it was probably the people on the second floor who had been hungry for several days and came to the first floor to look for food after the power supply was restored.

The corpse beside the dog was probably the owner of the dog.

“Poor thing, why are you so thin? The first floor is filled with food.”

Ye Xingchen sighed, he took out a ham sausage from the space and threw it in front of the dog.

“Eat it. It’s not poisonous.”

It was unknown if the dog was really hungry or if it really understood. After a long while, it finally lowered its head and picked up the two ham sausages that Ye Xingchen threw over.

“Is it enough? If it’s not enough, there’s more.”

There was a whole bag of ham sausages and even a piece of fresh meat. These were the goods in Ye Xingchen’s space.

“Eat, eat, eat. Your owner is already dead, and you’re still guarding him.”

What a loyal dog.

“Do you want to come with me? Anyway, your owner is already dead. Why don’t you follow me and live well?”

Ye Xingchen walked around the table and came in front of the dog. He squatted down and stretched out his hand.

It was uncertain if the dog was docile since it ate Ye Xingchen’s food or if the dog had really accepted the fact that its owner was dead. It hesitated for a moment before lowering its head and drilling into Ye Xingchen’s hand.

Ye Xingchen was stunned and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“You’re really smart.”

Ye Xingchen patted his head and stood up. After all, this floor was full of food. He couldn’t waste it.

“Wait for me here after you’re done eating. I’ll come back for you later.”

After all, it was a supermarket near a high-end residential area. It was a place that could not be entered without membership. A large number of people couldn’t get in. Even though the floor was a mess, there were still many things on the shelves.

Ye Xingchen was about to leave when the black dog came up and gently bit Ye Xingchen’s pants.

“What’s wrong? You want to go together? That works too.”

The dog turned around and looked deeply at his master. Then, he stood up shakily and slowly followed Ye Xingchen.

One by one, the shelves were put into the space, including the refrigerator and freezer. Even the vegetable leaves that had fallen to the ground and were trampled by others were not spared. Seeing the huge objects disappear in front of him one after another, the dog was so shocked that his eyes widened.

After collecting the entire supermarket’s supplies, Ye Xingchen did not even let go of the warehouse. He stood at the door of the warehouse and used his mind to collect all the supplies in the entire warehouse into his space.

“Let’s go, Little Black.”

Ye Xingchen’s main purpose for coming out today was not supplies, but it was not good to run around with a dog now. After all, the dog was a living thing. He could not directly stuff the dog into his space.

“Let’s go home.”

Ye Xingchen still remembered the way back. It was just that now that there was a dog, it was not good to step on the skis and row back.

“Come here, sit tight.”

Ye Xingchen searched the space and found several brand-new snowmobiles in the corner!

This was something he had stored in his space when he passed by a travel goods store. He didn’t expect to be able to use it!

Climbing out of the window, Ye Xingchen stood on the snow that he had already stepped on. He reached out and caught the dog who had jumped down. Then, he took out the snowmobile from the space and went to the place where he had just come.

He casually took two down jackets and wrapped the dog inside, then he twisted the handles and the snowmobile sped past in the wind.

Ye Xingchen stopped the snowmobile at the entrance. He came back at a speed that was more than three times faster than when he left.

The sound of the snowmobile speeding along the way attracted people to lean on the windows to watch, including people who weren’t residents of Ye Xingchen’s neighborhood. Immediately, the owners’ group chat exploded again.

“Oh my god, Ye Xingchen actually has a snowmobile!”

“What is it? Was that thing called a snowmobile? I haven’t seen it before. This is the first time I’ve seen it!”

“So handsome! Did you see that? Brother Xingchen was so handsome when he drove in just now!”

“All, I didn’t see it, I didn’t see it. Where is it? I heard it!”

“There’s hope, there’s hope. Ye Xingchen really didn’t lie to us! He really had a way to get supplies from outside!”

The group was busy. Lin Sijia watched the cooking while checking the group chat. When she saw them talking about Ye Xingchen’s return, the pressure in her heart was finally relieved.

Before dinner was ready, it was already getting dark outside. Ye Xingchen had only been out for about two hours.

After chasing the dog into the room, Ye Xingchen drove the snowmobile into the house and placed it at the entrance before closing the door.

After parking the snowmobile, Ye Xingchen took off his clothes and led the dog to the elevator.

Ye Xingchen went all the way to the sixth floor and unlocked the door. When he looked up, he saw Lin Sijia standing in the kitchen.

“Jiajia, come over. Put dinner aside first.”

“Come and give it a shower. I’ll go out again and come back later.”

“What’s wrong? Why are you still going out?” Lin Sijia heard the voice and turned around with a spoon in her hand. She immediately saw the black dog beside Ye Xingchen.

“Ah, did you find the dog outside?”
