1:00 AM.
The lights in the entire supermarket went out.
The last remaining staff member locked the final door and left.
No one noticed the tiny figure that quietly emerged from a colorful laundry basket in the darkness.
Yun Xiaoxiao let out a big yawn and stretched.
Hiding and sleeping there for several hours had made her back sore.
She rubbed her waist...
Well, she didn't actually have a waist yet...
But that wasn't the point.
The point was...
Yun Xiaoxiao scanned the fully stocked shelves around her, her round eyes gleaming.
Supplies, here I come!
[Ding! The item is too large. Please choose another one, host.]
[Friendly reminder: Haste makes waste. Small can be good too.]
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
Looking at the dozen large round containers piled up at her feet, she frowned and reluctantly put them down.
This area was full of daily necessities.
She decided to start collecting smaller items first.
After gathering just a few stacks of toothbrushes, the system chimed with a notification.
[Ding! Space is full. Rewarded 12 cubic decimeters!]
Now there's a total of 24 cubic decimeters!
Seeing the expanded space, Yun Xiaoxiao's enthusiasm was fully ignited.
Keep packing!
Toothbrushes, towels, toothpaste, cups, soap, socks, slippers, shampoo, conditioner, hand cream, hair masks, storage bags, cling wrap.
Sanitary pads, toilet paper, mops, brooms, kettles, laundry powder, laundry detergent, quilts, cotton, hangers, toilet cleaner, scrubbing pads, trash cans, combs, hair dryers.
Mosquito nets, bedding, pillowcases, pots and pans, and so on.
She grabbed whatever she saw, like a bandit on a rampage.
In the end, she didn't even spare the shelves.
In less than an hour, she had cleared out the entire daily necessities section.
After ransacking the daily necessities area, she moved on to the adjacent electronics section.
Refrigerators, water dispensers, air conditioners, electric fans, exhaust fans, dehumidifiers, air coolers, humidifiers.
Washing machines, irons, vacuum cleaners, robot vacuums, induction cookers, microwaves, ovens, rice cookers.
Electric blankets, televisions, projectors, camcorders, phones, computers, speakers, and so on.
She collected all kinds of electronics!
To Yun Xiaoxiao's surprise, there were even drones here, twenty-five of them!
These would be incredibly useful in the post-apocalyptic world!
"Gurgle~"
Suddenly, Yun Xiaoxiao's stomach growled.
She realized she hadn't even eaten dinner yet.
Perfect timing to head to the snack section and fill her belly first.
She was only five years old and still growing, after all!
Yun Xiaoxiao went to the second floor, where milk was displayed on the entrance shelves.
She grabbed a carton of pure milk, inserted the straw, and sipped while looking for other food.
In the post-apocalyptic world, food would be scarce, with few chances to eat one's fill.
Though Yun Xiaoxiao didn't exactly wolf down her food, her eating manner was far from elegant.
After a series of quick maneuvers, she continued her looting spree while sucking on a plain lollipop.
All kinds of milk: pure milk, yogurt, high-calcium milk, fresh milk, skimmed milk, easy-to-digest milk...
Whether individual cartons or entire boxes, she took them all!
She needed to supplement her nutrition to grow taller now.
Various breads, cookies, potato chips, spicy snacks, candies, jerky, nuts, pickled chicken feet...
Of course, instant noodles, self-heating hotpots, and self-heating rice meals were indispensable.
She had barely eaten any of these things in her previous life.
In this life, she was determined to eat her fill!
After collecting the snacks, she went to the mother and baby section.
Since she needed to grow, milk powder was essential.
She stocked up on milk powder for all age groups!
Calcium supplements, zinc supplements, iron supplements, probiotics, and other nutritional supplements - she wanted them all!
Before she knew it, Yun Xiaoxiao had collected half of the supermarket's inventory into her space.
Yun Xiaoxiao then moved to the condiments section.
Table salt, soy sauce, MSG, chicken bouillon, vinegar, Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, hotpot bases, and more - she took everything!
She didn't overlook the rice stacked nearby either.
There were about fifty bags of rice, in 10, 20, 30, 50, and 100-pound sizes, as well as some loose rice.
In total, it was about a ton.
Next to it was the fruit and vegetable section.
However, there weren't many items left, and they weren't particularly fresh.
Still, Yun Xiaoxiao didn't mind and took everything.
In the post-apocalyptic world, these would be luxuries that many couldn't afford to eat.
As her space continued to expand, Yun Xiaoxiao stopped collecting items one by one and began taking entire shelves at a time.
Finally, she reached the fresh and frozen food section, where she ruthlessly lifted entire refrigerators, power cords and all.
The contents of the fridges were real treasures.
Frozen chicken, duck, beef, pork, meatballs, dumplings, buns, shrimp, various flavored tangyuan, all kinds of seafood, and ice cream in every variety...
After clearing out the first and second floors, Yun Xiaoxiao went to the third floor and collected all the shoes and clothing.
The fourth floor contained home textiles, cosmetics, sporting goods, and children's toys.
Yun Xiaoxiao took everything.
Most egregiously, after ransacking the entire building, she wasn't satisfied and even dismantled the cash registers, surveillance cameras, street lamps, railings, and doors.
Anything that could be taken apart didn't escape her grasp.
She had initially wanted to tear up the floor too, but considering her small frame, she figured she'd probably wear herself out before finishing the job, so she had to let it go.
However, her dismantling spree led to an unexpected discovery.
She found multiple warehouses, with almost every floor having one.
Naturally, all of these items ended up in her space.
She didn't even leave behind the small carts for hauling goods or the discarded cardboard boxes.
Over the course of the night, Yun Xiaoxiao's space expanded countless times, reaching a total of 20,000,000 cubic decimeters, or 20,000 cubic meters.
To put it in perspective, if we consider a villa with five floors, each floor being 120 square meters and 3 meters high, her space would be equivalent to about 10 such villas.
Now, the supplies Yun Xiaoxiao had collected occupied half of that space.
Looking at the empty building, with nothing left but walls and floors, Yun Xiaoxiao stretched contentedly and left in high spirits.
Meanwhile...
Yun Shaokai, embracing his lover, was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by an urgent ringing.
"What's the matter?" he asked, putting the phone to his ear.
His eyes were still half-closed, his voice lazy, looking as if he hadn't fully woken up.
"What did you say?!"
Suddenly, he sat bolt upright, shouting.
"How could everything just disappear? Are you sure you're not seeing things?!"
"What about the surveillance footage? Check the cameras!"
"What do you mean even the cameras are gone?!"
"Call the police! Do it right now!"
"I'm on my way!"
"Shaokai, what's wrong?" A pure yet alluring woman embraced Yun Shaokai from behind, her voice somewhat bewitching.
Yun Shaokai pried her hands off, grabbing his clothes from beside the bed and putting them on.
"Jiajia, something's happened at the supermarket. I need to go there now."
With that, he hurriedly left.
