Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Acting Alone

She got up early the next day, at seven o’clock, and surprisingly, it wasn’t even light out yet.

Given the supermarket’s do-or-die attitude to making money, I guess they wouldn’t stop even at night.

Therefore, she wasn’t worried about going too early and finding no one there.

"You’re going out? No way, daughter, be good, we have enough food at home, there’s no need for you to go out again."

"Mom, listen to me, we have enough food, but if there are vegetables and fruits, we still need to stock up.

Don’t worry, I’m not the same as I used to be.

Ask Dad, your daughter now has an off-the-charts combat capability..."

With that, she stretched out her arms and made a muscle-flexing gesture.

Jhiang Xingzhi nodded; Jhiang Yuan was indeed quite impressive now.

Still, he was worried.

"Dad will go with you for backup."

Jhiang Yuan shook her head like a rattle-drum, adamantly refusing.

"Dad, you need to stay at home. Those people are restless, and if they come up today, you’ll need to deal with them, and Mom needs to take care of Xiao Nuan."

Convinced by reason and moved by emotion, the matter was settled happily.

Jhiang Yuan hurried to gear up; the temperature was even lower now, with daytime temperatures around minus thirty degrees Celsius.

This was undoubtedly deadly; she wore thermo-regulating underwear, topped with fleece-lined cotton jackets and pants.

On top of that, she put on a polar cold-weather suit, and she couldn’t miss out on a hat, scarf, and gloves.

"Daughter, if there’s danger, follow Song Yi. That kid is skilled, very powerful."

Jhiang Xingzhi particularly liked Song Yi. To have such abilities at his age was something he envied and admired.

"Dad, he’s not going. In fact, it will just be me this time.

Don’t worry, though. A smaller target is safer, and I’m thin, which makes it easier to escape."

When Jhiang Xingzhi heard she was going alone, he immediately disapproved.

"Dad, I need to hurry up and go. Take good care of Mom and Xiao Nuan.

It’s still early out, and many people haven’t left their homes yet. If I go early and return early, it’ll be safer."

Without further discussion, Jhiang Yuan hurried out the door; if she dilly-dallied, she probably wouldn’t be able to leave.

She understood her parents were worried about her.

But she really needed money and needed to extend her time in that space.

Jhiang Yuan, alone, tiptoed and meticulously locked the door of the stairwell.

It was the same on the twentieth floor; she didn’t disturb anyone.

The glass in the hallway on the seventh floor was shattered, no idea who did it.

As soon as she stepped out, it was bitterly cold.

Jhiang Yuan involuntarily shivered and quickly adjusted her hat and pulled up her mask.

Outside the community, there wasn’t a soul; she left through the small gate.

Under the building lay the "bad guys" they had thrown down before, some had been carried back, but most were there, already frozen stiff.

The person who fought over the liquefied gas on the side of building number fifteen also lay there, ignored by everyone.

She only glanced briefly before quickly walking away.

Now, time was life.

Moving quicker could keep her body somewhat warmer.

Because of her previous experience, she went straight through the greeneries at the crossroads.

This path was more concealed; if there were people nearby, she wouldn’t be spotted.

Coming out from the greenery, there was still a small distance; Jhiang Yuan saw from afar that there were two groups of people behind her, and she quickened her pace.

She didn’t want to encounter these people; being alone, it was better not to mix with others.

It saved her from potential trouble, and with a clear goal for the day, there was no need to waste time.

The two groups behind her clearly didn’t want to meet her either and followed at a distance.

Fortunately, she arrived in about ten minutes or so.

Good lord, there was actually a long queue here.

The queue had already stretched from the supermarket entrance to the side of the crossroads, with at least two hundred people in line.

The people in front had been waiting for who knows how long, with many showing hair and eyelashes already frosted over.

"Those shopping, line up at the back, no cutting in line."

Surprisingly, there was someone maintaining order, wielding a stun baton with a fierce and menacing look.

He didn’t seem like an ordinary person but more like a thug.

It looks like this boss is really not simple.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t make a sound, she just quietly stood at the end of the line and started queuing.

There were more security guards upfront, and although they were called security guards, they were really just there to help maintain order.

They all seemed like bad news, and she, being alone, didn’t speak up.

So she just quietly queued up, exactly following the previous official regulations.

Twenty people would go inside, and when one came out, another was allowed in.

There was no limit on the amount of goods one could buy, but the unit prices were not cheap.

While she was queuing, there were people coming out complaining about the high prices.

However, none lingered long, briskly coming and going.

Jhiang Yuan’s position was towards the back, and the cold weather was causing her some annoyance.

When she looked back again, a good number of people had joined the line behind her.

Goodness, how did these people get the word out to bring so many here?

Perhaps because it was so cold, the line wasn’t moving too slowly.

After a little over an hour, she had moved up to the front.

It was now nine forty, and there were more people; the end of the line was no longer visible from the front.

"You, do you have cash? Come here and pay a thousand yuan deposit first."

That was the process they followed. Some people, without money, still went into the supermarket, saw goods, and immediately started devouring them on the spot.

Thus, they had devised this measure.

Anyone going in had to pay a deposit of a thousand yuan first, and there were patrols inside as well.

Jhiang Yuan had some change on her, which she gathered and handed over to those men.

"Go on in!"

"Thank you～"

She originally wanted to find the person in charge here, but since they were too busy to pay attention to her, she decided to go in and take a look. If there were clothes, she could easily make a deal.

If not, she would ask around at the end of the line to see if there was a need.

This was her first time in this supermarket.

The place was indeed large, but there wasn’t as much variety anymore.

There were no vegetables or fruits at all.

The majority of the goods were rice, flour, grains, oil, instant noodles, condiments, and pre-packaged food.

These were not what she needed. After looking around, she didn’t see any clothing.

It seemed there was still a market for that.

Feeling quite pleased with herself, she was planning lavishly for what she could accomplish shortly.

"Jhiang Yuan, is that you?"

When she heard her name being called, she turned around to look.

Damn, talk about a small world, it was Xia Chaoyang and Bai Mengmeng.

The two wore rather thin clothing, and although they were wearing masks, their eyes were sunken, clearly showing signs of malnutrition.

"It really is you, Jhiang Yuan. I didn’t expect to bump into you here."

Bai Mengmeng was very excited, coming up to grab her hand.

Jhiang Yuan easily dodged, she hadn’t gone looking for these two, but they took the initiative to approach her.

Looking at the bag of rice, some sausages, and instant noodles they were holding.

These items were not cheap, with the current prices, it was at least three to five thousand yuan worth.
