Chapter 39: The Super Shopping Spree
After sweeping the lingerie store clean, Xiao Yi moved on to the adjacent Adidas store.
Adidas shoes had always been something Xiao Yi dreamed of owning.
But from childhood to adulthood, he had only ever managed to buy a single pair through his own hard work.
These shoes might have been nothing to his rich classmates, but for Xiao Yi, they had always been an unaffordable luxury.
But things were different now.
"Damn it! It's all mine now!" Xiao Yi cursed, shoving all the shoes from the shelves into his spatial storage in one go.
Then, after casually grabbing a few sets of sportswear, Xiao Yi turned to his next target.
He looked at the dazzling display of the watch counter.
Xiao Yi smiled.
Vacheron Constantin.
He had once sworn that when he got rich, he would definitely buy a watch like that.
Fuck it, he wasn't rich now.
But all these watches were still his!
Xiao Yi slashed the display case open and swept all the women's watches inside into his spatial storage.
Then, he picked out a few men's watches that he particularly liked for himself.
He then turned and entered the next jewelry store.
"IDO. I heard you can only buy one ring from iDO in your lifetime." Xiao Yi recalled the brand's slogan.
"Fuck that 'one ring per lifetime' bullshit," he cursed.
Bang! Bang! Bang! He smashed all the display cases to pieces.
He swept all the expensive jewelry inside into his spatial storage, leaving nothing behind.
Next up were the luxury stores, Chanel and Gucci.
Tens of thousands for a bottle of perfume, tens of thousands for a bag, for clothes...
Xiao Yi shoved it all into his spatial storage.
Of course, Xiao Yi didn't forget some essential daily necessities.
Things like lighters, batteries, candles, towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other necessities of life, he stuffed many of them into his spatial storage as well.
"Still need to get some medicine!" Xiao Yi snapped his fingers and ran straight for a pharmacy on the fourth floor.
Common medicines for diarrhea and colds were absolutely essential.
And of course, birth control pills were a must.
This was the apocalypse, after all. If he got the women in his harem pregnant, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?
As for bringing back condoms?
Not a chance.
Xiao Yi didn't like the feeling of a layer of plastic between him and his partners.
Even if they were the "ultra-thin," "spiral," or "dotted" kinds.
He didn't like them.
Xiao Yi always firmly believed one thing. Skin on skin was the most authentic feeling.
With his spatial storage now full, Xiao Yi, satisfied, turned to leave.
Just as he stepped out of the pharmacy, he was surrounded by several people holding weapons, wearing helmets, and covered in protective gear.
Some of them were holding axes, some cleavers, and one was even holding what looked like an M4 rifle.
Xiao Yi tensed for a moment at the sight of the rifle, but he quickly realized it was just a toy airsoft gun.
"Who are you? How did you get in here?"
The woman leading them gripped an iron rod with a bayonet crudely tied to the end, slowly approaching Xiao Yi. She held the rod towards him, her eyes wary as she questioned him.
Because of the helmet, Xiao Yi couldn't see her face, but from the sound of her voice, he found it quite pleasant.
It was only then that Xiao Yi realized this entire exploration team was composed entirely of women!
Xiao Yi had been about to just turn and leave, but he suddenly found himself a bit curious about this shelter, so he smiled and said, "I'm a survivor from the university. I came here looking for shelter."
After sizing Xiao Yi up, the woman said, "You're pretty lucky, making it here from the school without getting eaten. Our shelter is upstairs. You can join us."
"Thank you," Xiao Yi said, feigning sincerity.
The woman nodded. "Come with us."
After she spoke, a young woman who looked like a housewife next to her took out a walkie-talkie and said, "We've found a new survivor."
A man's voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie: "Why don't you give him a proper welcome."
Xiao Yi felt there was something strange about the man's words, but he didn't pay it much mind.
Xiao Yi followed the group up an escalator to an iron door. The woman then knocked on it in a specific rhythm.
The iron door slowly opened, and the woman walked in first.
Xiao Yi took one last look at his surroundings before following the others inside.
The first thing he saw upon entering was a young man with a few other men surrounding him.
The young man at the front held a finely crafted crossbow, with a smug smile on his face. "Welcome to the safe zone, seven meters above ground! This is Jiang City's safest and most prosperous settlement. I am Zhou Zhengyu, the newly elected leader of this settlement."
Xiao Yi felt a flicker of disdain in his heart, but on the surface, he just nodded. "My name is Xiao Yi, a student at Jiangcheng University."
A man with a scar on his face, standing next to Zhou Zhengyu, tilted his head as he eyed the long-handled Mo Dao in Xiao Yi's hand. He sneered, "That's a nice blade. Hand it over and let me have a look!"
As he spoke, the scarred man, gripping his axe, menacingly walked toward Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi glanced at the scarred man, his expression turning cold as his grip on the Mo Dao tightened.
If these people dared to make a move on him, he wouldn't mind slaughtering everyone in this settlement right here and now.
Xiao Yi would absolutely not allow anyone who posed a threat to him to exist.
These survivors had only two paths they could take.
One path was to become his servants.
The other path was death.
