Chapter 85: Chapter 85: The Service Area is Well Stocked

Kaiyang also jumped down, pushed the kayak into the water, and then prepared to head back.

Four people, grouped in pairs, began their new journey.

Jhiang Yuan led Ye Mianmian and started running ahead; she automatically gave up on the toll booth here.

Their destination wasn’t here, there was no need to waste time; heading to the service area’s mini supermarket was the real deal.

Because there were no streetlights, it looked somewhat terrifying, and the rainstorm continued unabated.

Even the light from a high-powered flashlight seemed somewhat dim.

Moreover, the strange appearance of the rain was even more oppressive.

"Sister Yuan, how come there isn’t a single light here, it’s too scary."

Jhiang Yuan patted her hand and, taking Ye Mianmian’s hand in the other, started to walk.

In such conditions, it was impossible not to speak quietly.

If there was someone around, it would be very dangerous. Being led by her, Ye Mianmian also felt much more stable, stepping forward steadily with Jhiang Yuan.

Upon reaching the service area inside, it was still desolate, and Jhiang Yuan was somewhat scared since it was her first time venturing out under such circumstances.

And the lack of light was naturally frightening for ordinary people.

Jhiang Yuan turned off the flashlight, got used to the darkness momentarily, and could navigate the pathway.

She had been observing the whole time, and Ye Mianmian, holding her hand tightly, was very nervous.

The two crouched under a big tree, and after about ten minutes, she stood up.

"Let’s go, there shouldn’t be any problems."

It turned out she wanted to check if the nearby area was safe; that steadied Ye Mianmian’s heart as well.

Jhiang Yuan had her own methods for doing things. Now that only the two were left, she had to trust her teammate.

Turning the high-powered flashlight back on, the two slowly proceeded forward, with a big tree right next to the service area parking lot.

Heading straight to the hall, the front door was locked with a big, heavy lock, fastened by a chain.

It looked imposing but actually lacked any technical subtlety.

"Sister Yuan, what do we do now?"

Jhiang Yuan handed the flashlight to Ye Mianmian and pulled a piece of wire from the pocket of her jacket.

Then she began what she thought was a cool performance, and in just a minute, the lock clicked open.

Ye Mianmian gave her a thumbs up, not having expected her to have this skill.

And the speed was no slower than Kaiyang’s, she really was a treasure of a sister.

The two snuck around cautiously, having observed for a while; it seemed no one had come over.

However, it didn’t mean there was no one inside.

Imitating Song Yi’s gestures, she signaled to Ye Mianmian, and they quickly entered.

Then they closed the glass door behind them; under these circumstances, they had to first ensure the environment was safe.

Entering through the glass door, there was another sliding door about two meters away.

Those doors were already open, and both Jhiang Yuan and Ye Mianmian were very nervous, fearing someone might be inside.

It was dark, and they had no choice but to use the flashlight; otherwise, they couldn’t see anything at all.

After entering, on the left side was a row of food stalls, about seven or eight of them, with tables and chairs lined up in the middle.

Behind was the mini supermarket, further inside were the restrooms, and directly opposite was the area where special products were sold.

It seemed every service area had this layout; bigger ones just had more stuff.

Jhiang Yuan felt it was safe, and pretended to rummage through her backpack, but actually pulled out a large night light from her space.

This was her trump card; needless to say, it could illuminate an area of twenty to thirty square meters as if it were daylight.

As for the range of the light, if one didn’t mind a bit of darkness, illuminating a hundred square meters was not a problem.

"My goodness, Sister Yuan, this is too bright."

"Hehe, it’s more convenient holding this."

It was more than convenient; the situation in front became clear in an instant.

"Let’s go, let’s take a look around!"

"Okay!"

Ye Mianmian followed with a baseball bat, ready in a defensive stance.

Scouting was like that, circle around every area, and if there was nobody, it was safe for now.

"Oh man, this is making me nervous."

"But don’t let your guard down. We won’t be able to keep an eye on the electricity for long. We still need to head to the gas station later. Let’s make the most of our time."

"Okay!"

Jhiang Yuan said, placing the large flashlight on the checkout counter of the small supermarket.

There were quite a few shelves here, stocked with food and other items.

Normally, the prices were rather high, so there was a good amount of stock left.

Ye Mianmian’s eyes lit up, there was so much stuff, and most of it was food.

And across from them, there were even local specialties.

"Sister Yuan, we really made the right choice coming here. Brother Song and Zhang Kaiyang will probably lose their minds when they see this."

"Of course. Mianmian, do you have enough bags?"

"Don’t worry. I’ve got them all in my backpack."

As she spoke, she took off her backpack, set it on the counter, pulled out a woven bag, and began to swiftly gather items.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t dawdle either. She had specifically chosen the checkout counter hoping for an unexpected find.

The cash box here was sizable, secured with a small lock. If it weren’t for fear of making too much noise, she would have smashed it open already.

Now, it wasn’t a problem. With wire in hand, the world was hers.

She easily dealt with it. Upon opening the drawer, wow, no wonder the box was so big; it was indeed full of money.

There was actually sixty thousand yuan, already neatly organized, and plenty of change as well.

Jhiang Yuan packed away the bills and grabbed a small snack bag for the change, not missing a single coin or steel coin.

Underneath the checkout counter, there was even more stock, including beer and mineral water.

This kind of heavy lifting was within her abilities. She directly moved the items onto the counter.

Later, she would take them out to the spacious central aisle.

Right then, Ye Mianmian hurried over, already having filled a bag with goods.

"Sister Yuan, it’s so annoying. Those puffed food products are filled with air.

If we let the air out, it will affect the taste when we eat them later,

but if we don’t, they just take up so much unnecessary space."

True, but what can you do about it?

"Let’s put the puffed food products, the ones filled with air, aside for now.

If there’s space later, we’ll leave them be, but if not, we’ll just have to poke holes in them."

"That’s the only way."

Anyway, they had to bring it all back; otherwise, it would be too much of a loss.

If they truly ran out of food, never mind the taste, even if it was bad, they would still have to eat!

"And there’s so much beer, too. Who would sell beer on the highway? What if someone drinks and drives?"

Jhiang Yuan was charmed by her quirky comments.

"Who said it’s for drivers? Can’t passengers drink? You’re killing me."

Ye Mianmian felt a moment of embarrassment, but seeing that Jhiang Yuan wasn’t stopping, she grabbed two big bags and got back to work.
