73: There's no need to save him.

Everyone else had left as soon as the door opened, but Su Mianmian was still standing there in a daze.

Shi Xu saw that she was still standing there, facing the cold air, and he paused for a moment before quickly pulling her back.

Su Mianmian looked at him pitifully, signaling that she knew she had made a mistake and didn't want him to scold her anymore.

Seeing this, what else could Shi Xu do?

He could only spoil her.

"Mianmian, you can't do that again next time."

"Were you frozen?"

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian with a worried expression.

Su Mianmian shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

At first, she had only yawned because she was suddenly hit by the cold.

Now that she was away from the cold source, she didn't feel anything.

Seeing this, Su Jinxuan relaxed.

Su Mianmian's spatial ability was unusable because it was upgrading. Shi Xu glanced at his own space and found thick clothes inside.

"I'll go in and collect it; you all stay outside."

After giving instructions, Shi Xu changed into his clothes and entered the cold storage.

He hadn't changed into specialized warm clothing, and when he went in, he still felt a chill.

Without delay, he collected whatever he saw.

Soon, the items in the cold storage were all collected into his space.

Su Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him come out.

It was so cold inside, and Shi Xu hadn't come out for so long, her heart couldn't settle down at all.

Now that he was out, her hanging heart finally returned to its place.

"Boss, was it very cold in there?"

"It's a shame we don't have anything warm to give you to warm up."

Xu Qing looked at Shi Xu apologetically, muttering.

Shi Xu waved his hand, indicating it was fine.

Now that he was out, he felt much better.

Just now, inside, he had truly felt a bone-chilling cold.

Su Mianmian's spatial ability would be usable when they reached the supermarket. She heard her space emit a "ding" sound and knew that the upgrade had been successful.

Her face was filled with uncontrollable joy.

"My spatial ability has successfully upgraded!"

"Shi Xu, let's split up to collect supplies."

After Su Mianmian finished speaking, she went upstairs.

Su Jinxuan was worried about her being alone. Seeing her run up, he followed her.

When Su Mianmian arrived upstairs, she was met by two zombies.

They had probably smelled human scent after a long time, and both of them looked frantic.

Su Mianmian felt that their faces were filled with the word "desire."

She watched them pounce on her, not even bothering to dodge.

Su Jinxuan, who was behind Su Mianmian, was so scared his heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

Just as he was about to yell at her to dodge, he saw the two zombies bound by the vines she released.

Su Jinxuan walked to Su Mianmian's side with a look of relief after a narrow escape. He wanted to scold her, but he was afraid that if he did, she would be unhappy.

He was truly feeling terrible right now.

When Su Mianmian saw Su Jinxuan, a hint of guilt immediately appeared on her face.

She had just shown off, and she didn't know if he had seen it.

Su Mianmian cautiously glanced at Su Jinxuan. When she saw his displeased expression, she knew he must have seen everything she had just done.

"Brother, the zombies are still alive. Do you want to help me kill them?"

"My legs are a little weak from fright."

Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan with an innocent expression, saying aggrievedly.

Weak legs were impossible; she just wanted to divert his attention.

Su Mianmian succeeded. Su Jinxuan heard her words, picked up his machete, and hacked the two bound zombies to death.

The two zombie heads fell to the ground with a "thud."

Su Mianmian looked at the bloody scene and felt that he had vented all his displeasure on them.

"Brother, you're so strong."

"Haha."

"I'm going to start collecting supplies."

Su Mianmian said with a guilty expression, then turned and ran to collect supplies.

She didn't take everything, leaving a portion for those who would come later.

Especially grains, she basically didn't touch them.

Su Mianmian mainly took items that spoil easily.

She thought that if she didn't take them, they would spoil after a while anyway, so she might as well take them.

After collecting the supplies upstairs, Su Mianmian and Su Jinxuan went downstairs.

It was quiet downstairs; there was no sound at all.

The two exchanged glances, feeling a bit strange.

"Aren't Shi Xu and the others downstairs?"

"Why is there no sound at all?"

Su Mianmian said, puzzled.

She didn't believe they would be wiped out; the only possibility was that they had discovered something and gone to investigate.

Su Jinxuan had the same idea as Su Mianmian. The two began to search around.

Finally, in a hidden corner, the two discovered an open small door.

As soon as they walked in, they heard the boisterous voices of Xu Qing and Xu Huan.

The two exchanged glances and quickly walked in.

"So you guys are here!"

"We thought you had gone somewhere else."

Su Mianmian looked at them helplessly, complaining.

She looked around and realized that this was actually the supermarket's warehouse.

Shi Xu had already collected quite a bit, and the warehouse now looked a bit empty.

She guessed that when they first came in, it must have been fully stocked.

"Mianmian, do you want this?"

Shi Xu waved at Su Mianmian. Su Mianmian ran over and saw that it was sanitary napkins.

She smiled at Shi Xu, feeling that he was very considerate of her.

"Never mind, let's leave these for those who need them!"

"My space already has enough sanitary napkins to last several lifetimes."

Su Mianmian said proudly.

As a woman, she had placed sanitary napkins among the top three items on her essential hoarding list.

So, the stock of sanitary napkins in her space could be said to be very abundant.

Hearing this, Shi Xu collected a box.

Su Mianmian looked at him collecting a box, completely bewildered.

"I'm afraid that one day your space might be unusable, and you'll be in urgent need of these."

"It's better to keep a box with me."

Shi Xu said without blushing or his heart racing.

Su Mianmian felt a bit touched and a bit amused. Shi Xu's 'just in case' mindset really resonated with her.

While the two of them were in a bubble of romance, the others were constantly noisy.

After collecting the supermarket's supplies, the group began their return journey.

It was already past six in the morning, and the sky was still gloomy, with no sunlight.

The rain was light, just a drizzle.

Su Mianmian looked left and right through the built-in glasses on her raincoat, feeling a bit peculiar.

"We'd better leave quickly."

"If someone sees us, they'll probably ask for our help."

Su Mianmian looked around. There were many houses submerged or about to be submerged, and it was possible that some people were trapped inside.

If someone called out for them to save them, they would be in a bit of trouble.

It was better not to encounter such a situation; saving or not saving would both be difficult.

Shi Xu strongly agreed with Su Mianmian's words. He told Xu Qing not to worry so much and to drive the boat quickly.

Xu Qing, having received the order, sped up.

On the water, they would occasionally encounter the rotting corpses of animals, humans, and zombies, emitting a foul stench.

Su Mianmian felt that next time they came out, they should bring gas masks.

Face masks were no longer effective.

She was currently wearing two, yet she could still smell a very pungent odor of decay.

"If these corpses explode, it will definitely be a disaster."

Su Jinxuan looked at the swollen corpses, couldn't help but shake his head, and said with disgust.

Xu Huan looked at him speechlessly and said, displeased, "I think you'd better not be a jinx."

Looking at those corpses was already disgusting enough; if they exploded, he felt he wouldn't want to eat meat for the entire week.

Just as the two were talking, a cry for help reached their ears.

Su Mianmian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman.

Her face was very pale, green and purple, and Su Mianmian could even see her gradually expanding blood vessels from below.

The blood in her blood vessels was no longer the color of normal human blood; it was darker.

Su Mianmian shook her head. There was no need to save this woman.
