An Xiaoran was the warehouse manager.
Naturally, she had the key to the cold storage room.
With a heavy creak, the freezer door slowly opened. Xiao Yu and An Xiaoran didn't rush in.
They had to wait until their sweat dried.
Otherwise, they might catch rheumatism from the cold.
It was the perfect moment to rest and recover some mental energy.
"Xiao Yu, when the T-Virus fully breaks out... will you take me with you?" An Xiaoran asked softly.
Xiao Yu flicked her on the forehead.
"What are you thinking?"
"You're my Warehouse Girl. Of course I'll take you."
With so many supplies stashed in her Space Warehouse, even if she wanted to go solo, he wouldn't allow it.
"Thank you, Xiao Yu. You're really the best. I'll listen to you from now on," she said with a giggle.
"Whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it."
She meant it.
If not for Xiao Yu saving her, she'd already be dead.
And she wouldn't have gained such power either.
After a short rest, their sweat had dried. They put on cold storage uniforms and stepped into the freezer together.
There were two sections.
The front was the preservation zone, filled with vegetables and fruits.
Eggs, carrots, tomatoes, cabbages, bok choy, broccoli, scallions...
So many varieties.
As for fruits: grapes, oranges, Hami melons… everything you could imagine.
"Let's start."
"Mm~ okay!"
Xiao Yu and An Xiaoran began sweeping again.
One shelf after another disappeared into their Space Warehouses, and with each item, their hearts filled with joy.
Once the preservation zone was cleared—
They had collected 1 ton of eggs, 3 tons of vegetables, and 2 tons of fruits.
But these items couldn't be kept fresh for too long.
Even a mall freezer wouldn't store excessive quantities.
"There's not enough veggies and fruits," An Xiaoran muttered, pouting.
Xiao Yu chuckled. "There are so many malls and supermarkets in S City. What's there to worry about?"
"As long as the T-Virus hasn't fully broken out yet…"
"Our mission every day is to sweep through those places. We'll get as much as we want."
An Xiaoran stuck out her tongue.
Just imagining it made her feel like they were insane.
After clearing the fresh goods, they headed to the frozen zone.
Here, everything was meat.
The first sight that greeted them was rows of beef, each whole cow halved and hanging on racks.
Xiao Yu and An Xiaoran didn't hold back.
With a single touch—
Two entire shelves of meat were swept into their warehouses.
Three tons of beef in one go.
Behind that were pork, lamb, poultry, fish, seafood…
They went on a massive looting spree.
5 tons of pork.
2 tons of lamb.
2 tons of chicken, duck, and fish.
1 ton of seafood.
Another massive haul!
But Xiao Yu still wasn't satisfied.
Once the T-Virus fully spread, many animals would get bitten by Zombies.
That meant...
Fresh meat would become harder and harder to find.
They needed to hit a slaughterhouse—those cold storage facilities would be overflowing with meat.
"Alright, let's head out."
As they exited the cold storage room—
Just as they took off their heavy uniforms, a piercing alarm rang throughout the mall.
An urgent voice came through the PA system:
"Everyone, evacuate the mall immediately."
"Repeating: please evacuate the mall at once. Customers on the third, fourth, and fifth floors, please exit via the emergency routes. Do not go to the second floor."
"I repeat, do not go to the second floor."
The shrill siren and tense announcements made An Xiaoran visibly nervous.
She wasn't clueless anymore—
She could already guess what was happening on the second floor.
"Xiao Yu… what do we do?"
With a thought, Xiao Yu summoned a Fire Axe from his Space Warehouse.
"Don't worry. Follow me. We'll go down through the second floor."
The fire escape would be too narrow.
With this many people in the mall, it would be a chaotic mess.
There were only two Zombie outbreaks in Woma Mall today. One of them was on the second floor.
Right now, the T-Virus was still in its mutation phase.
Zombies didn't yet have contagious capabilities.
In other words, there was only one Zombie on the second floor.
On their way to the fourth-floor stairwell, Xiao Yu smashed open a fire emergency box and handed a Fire Axe to An Xiaoran.
"Take this."
"Your attributes have doubled. As long as you don't panic, you can handle a Zombie head-on."
An Xiaoran accepted the axe.
She didn't know why, but as long as she was with Xiao Yu, she didn't feel afraid.
Maybe it was because he had saved her life earlier.
Or perhaps it was his unshakable confidence and clear plans for the future—
They gave her a powerful sense of security.
As the two stepped down from the fourth floor—
The scene was utter chaos.
Terrified shoppers were running around like headless chickens.
"Run! There's a psycho biting people on the second floor!"
"He's already killed three! Even the security guards got taken out!"
"No, four now! He just got another one!"
"Don't go to the second floor! That lunatic is at the elevator! You can't get down!"
Women clutched sobbing children.
Even old folks were sprinting—no ailments now.
Then a burly middle-aged man barged through the crowd, using his size to shove others aside.
"Move! Get the hell out of my way!"
"F*** off, don't block me!"
Cursing wildly, he shoved away women and elderly, charging straight toward Xiao Yu.
"Move it, dumb***, don't block—ugh!"
Xiao Yu didn't tolerate him.
One kick sent the man flying.
As he passed by, he added a stomp that knocked the thug out cold.
"Xiaoran. Stay with me."
