Superpower heroine in the apocalypse (MTL)

21-25

Chapter 21

Although Qin Jiale said there was no problem, he didn't know it in his heart. She secretly speculated in her mind whether it might be a virus, but she didn't see the signs before the virus broke out.

She rubbed her arms uneasily and looked outside the window, sincerely hoping that Lin Zhonghao could come back soon.

The small 24-hour convenience store is like an island on this dark and uninhabited road. It lights up tirelessly, and the neon tubes are a bit bright. The glass windows outside have been wiped clean, and the shelves and people inside can be clearly seen.

Lin Zhonghao walked in, and the clerk on duty was cleaning. He was busy categorizing the products on the shelves and placing them neatly. Strictly speaking, those things are all well placed on top. There were very few people in the store today, but they all bought a lot of things, as if they were going to store them for the winter. Some people will take the products and mess them up so that people behind can't choose.

It is his job to organize these.

I don't know if anyone will come tonight. If there are still no customers by one o'clock, I'll close the shop early today. He thought so.

At this time, he saw a young man walking in. His facial features were very sharp and handsome, and there was a cold wind on his body, as if he had brought in the cold night air outside.

"Hello, what do you need?" the clerk asked politely.

The man looked at him rather strangely, as if he wanted to say something else but didn't say anything: "Do you still have the two-liter mineral water in the barrel?"

"There are some," the clerk replied, "I'll go to the back to get them."

Lin Zhonghao walked to the counter and took away all the few remaining chocolates, as well as some sandwich biscuits. Thinking that Qin Jiale seemed to have said that he liked chocolate flavor, he took some more.

The clerk carried two barrels of mineral water to the cashier and asked, "Are two barrels enough?"

Lin Zhonghao nodded, taking too much would be a burden. He put the cookies and snacks he took away on the shelf and planned to check out together.

The clerk began to scan the QR code and enter various information about the product attentively. Each time he entered a type, the corresponding price would appear on the computer.

Lin Zhonghao said: "Excuse me, has nothing strange happened recently?"

"Weird things?" The clerk smiled, "Weird things happen every year."

"For example, people who show unusual symptoms," Lin Zhonghao looked directly into the clerk's eyes, as if to read something from his eyes, "such as someone who suddenly starts attacking others... or falls into a coma."

Fortunately, he kept staring. After hearing this sentence, the clerk's face suddenly changed. The line at the corner of his mouth that had been rising suddenly straightened, and his eyes began to wander, but the movements of his hands seemed to speed up. I don't know what I'm worried about.

Lin Zhonghao asked again: "Is it true?"

Clerk: "I don't know what you are talking about. We often see patients here if they come to buy things. After all, there is a hospital not far away, although it is not a good hospital..."

He suddenly started talking more, and Lin Zhonghao had a suspicion. But since others didn't say anything, he couldn't force others.

"If there's something out of the ordinary, it's better to hide as soon as possible."
