"You don't pick at your food, so the rest is for you."
Fu Yunlei pursed his lips.
He had also been pampered since childhood and was quite picky, okay?
An Nuan slept for two hours. When she woke up, she heard the community broadcast asking everyone to gather in the small square to line up and receive supplies.
Now that they were under lockdown, supplies were distributed every three days per person, just like in the old planned economy.
The so-called supplies were essentially basic water and staple foods, plus a few vegetables.
In better-off areas, there would be meat, fruit, and even cola and ice cream. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
This also depended on the community.
Wealthier neighborhoods would definitely receive more resources than others.
The community where they lived wasn't rich, but it wasn't bad either. The first batch of supplies was quite decent.
Luoluo asked, "Xiao Nuan, we don't lack food or clothing, should we go and get it? The sun is so strong, and lining up is quite tiring."
"Of course, we have to go and get it. If we act special, others might think we have a lot of things at home. If they attack us, it will be trouble."
Luoluo thought An Nuan made sense.
But they had awakened powers and were much stronger than ordinary people.
Whoever dared to snatch their things, they could just kill them, what was there to fear?
An Nuan knew what Luoluo was thinking.
Among the first batch of people who awakened powers, many relied on their abilities and went around snatching supplies, even openly provoking others.
As a result, they incurred public wrath and many were beaten to death.
Even the strongest individuals had limits. It was fine to fight a hundred people, but what about a thousand? Ten thousand?
Fighting unarmed people was also okay, but what if the opponents had AKs, bombs, or even artillery shells?
A first-order ability user, with overall strong capabilities, could defeat a third-order ability user.
A group of ordinary people could also kill ability users.
An Nuan wanted to establish the correct concept for them, while also eliminating all potential dangers.
The best way to gain greater benefits was to hide among the ordinary people and live without attracting attention.
After listening to An Nuan's second lesson on surviving the apocalypse, Luoluo and Chang Kaitong gained a more objective understanding of their powers.
Chang Kaitong volunteered, "Sister, you two rest at home, I'll go and line up to get it!"
"It's calculated per person, so it's a waste not to take it. Let's go together."
Who would dislike having more supplies?
An Nuan certainly didn't.
She put on her baseball cap, held her sun umbrella, and led Luoluo and Chang Kaitong to the small square to queue for food.
Before buying the house, she had investigated. The occupancy rate of the community was only 30%, and the third phase was still under construction, while the second phase was still on sale.
There weren't many residents in the community, and at this time, only about a hundred people came to collect supplies.
When An Nuan arrived, there was already a line of people ahead of them, and they stood at the tail.
An aunt sized up Luoluo for a while and smiled as she approached, "Girl, are you here to collect things? Where are your parents? Why aren't they with you?"
"Yes, young lady, are you living alone? Do you need our help?"
Behind the aunt, a couple's eyes gleamed as they stared at Luoluo.
Their expressions were like wolves eyeing prey.
Luoluo was not stupid. Having stayed in wealthy circles for so many years, she could guess these people's intentions with a single glance.
They were probably trying to test her. If they judged her to be alone, they might try to snatch her things later.
Luoluo responded indifferently, "I'm lining up with my younger brother and sister. My parents have gone out to buy things and will be back soon. My boyfriend is at home helping to store water, in case of water or power outages, so we won't run out of drinking water."
The supply transport team had arrived half an hour ago.
It was normal for someone to go out and scout for supplies.
Luoluo even added a fictional boyfriend to let them know there was a man at home, possessing the strength to deter them from casually entering.
"Oh, is that so..."
The aunt instantly looked disappointed.
She had thought the young lady looked delicate and petite, easy to bully.
She hadn't expected her family to be so large.
The aunt's daughter-in-law sized Luoluo up, still somewhat unconvinced.
"Young lady, how old are you to have a boyfriend? Early dating is not good, academics are more important."
Tch, such a low-level probe, so boring.
An Nuan couldn't stand it anymore.
She turned and smiled faintly, "My sister isn't young anymore, she's already 30. Don't be fooled by her!"
"Ah! 30 years old?"
The young sister-in-law couldn't believe it.
She was also 30, and looked much older than Luoluo.
Luoluo cursed her good sister in her mind a million times.
But she still smiled and said, "Yes, I'm 30. I was supposed to have my wedding next month, but with this damn heavy rain... Sigh, it looks like it has to be postponed."
"It's okay, sister. Brother-in-law's father and brother both said that once the situation improves, we'll have a bigger celebration!"
Chang Kaitong interjected with a smile.
The young sister-in-law's entire family fell silent.
With so many people in this family, and then adding the husband's family.
With so many of them, how could these few snatch anything?
An Nuan and her companions collected their supplies.
As expected, it was three bottles of mineral water per person, which worked out to one bottle a day.
Although it wasn't enough for normal consumption, it ensured they wouldn't die of thirst.
Then came a bunch of vegetables, mostly leafy greens that didn't keep well, which were distributed first.
However, after such a long period of heavy rain, even the best-preserved leafy greens were useless.
The ones that were still somewhat presentable were distributed, while some were almost rotten and were also given out.
The most generously distributed items were the steamed buns and flatbreads, with one bag per person. They couldn't choose the size or type; whatever they got was what they got.
During these special times, after a few complaints, everyone could only accept their fate and leave with the supplies.
An Nuan's only comfort was that they received an apple and a bottle of yogurt that day.
These were precious items in the apocalypse.
Luoluo and Chang Kaitong couldn't understand her feelings, but they were happy too.
As long as An Nuan was happy, they were happy.
The three of them took a detour and entered a villa, then sneaked into their home through a secret passage.
As soon as they returned, they saw a bird pecking at her door.
"Crystals, crystals!"
"Holy crap, even the birds have become sentient!"
"Sister Luoluo, this is a mechanical bird, it's just made too realistically."
Luoluo took a closer look and discovered a chip in the bird's eyes.
She exclaimed, "It's amazing, mechanical birds are made so realistically!"
An Nuan opened the door and the mechanical bird hopped inside.
She took out the spoils from the evening, and the mechanical bird opened its mouth.
"Pour it in, pour it in."
An Nuan poured all the crystals into the bird's beak, filling its belly perfectly.
After eating its fill, the mechanical bird flapped its wings twice and spat out a chip from under its tongue.
Its eyes aimed at the chip and emitted a laser, constructing a seemingly thin black steel dagger.
An Nuan recognized it at a glance.
"Laser dagger!"
This was a high-lethality weapon developed by the science team in the third year of the apocalypse. How could it be here!
