Su Yun’s eyes lit up with delight. Right now, everyone was busy looking for food they could actually eat. Things like sugar and seasonings weren’t items people would take much of.
Some of the sugar in the cabinet had already been taken, but more than half was still left.
The fruit this shop usually used was never good quality to begin with, so there were no surveillance cameras installed. Moreover, the shop hadn’t been open on this street for very long.
Su Yun took away half of the sugar from the cabinet.
After glancing at the nearly rotten fruit, Su Yun turned and headed for the largest fruit shop on the street.
The authorities were also collecting supplies everywhere. Seeds that could be obtained were very limited, especially fruit seeds.
After the natural disasters began, extreme weather made it difficult for seeds to survive once planted. The authorities had focused agricultural efforts on staple crops.
There was simply no time to care about fruit, and cultivating a single fruit tree required enormous effort and resources.
Finding uncontaminated soil suitable for growing a fruit tree had become the biggest challenge of all.
This fruit shop covered more than a hundred square meters. Because of the scorching weather, the air-conditioning inside ran all day.
When Su Yun entered, more than a dozen people had already gathered inside the shop, each carrying supplies they had found.
They were eating fruit in their hands, occasionally stuffing a couple into their backpacks.
Everyone stood with their own small groups. They only gave Su Yun a brief glance when she arrived.
This shop had tacitly become a temporary rest stop. After all, it was surrounded by glass—any danger could be spotted immediately.
Su Yun scanned the fruit on display. As the largest fruit shop nearby, it truly had everything, even imported fruits.
She picked a few of each kind of fruit and put them into bags. For some fruit types, there were several varieties.
Su Yun chose the varieties she liked, planning to cultivate them later and plant them in the soil of her space.
Just by picking a few of each kind, she ended up carrying two bags filled to the brim. The people enjoying the air-conditioning inside stared at her as if she were a fool.
Right now, everyone was busy searching for food. No one would take these fruits that couldn’t even fill you up. In their eyes, Su Yun’s behavior was simply stupid.
She opened her backpack and stuffed one bag of fruit inside. With some force, she could squeeze in the second bag as well.
With the air-conditioning blowing, it didn’t feel hot anymore.
Su Yun sat on the floor, picking through the fruit one by one and stuffing them into her backpack—though as she put them in, she secretly transferred them into her space.
Thinking about all the supplies she had found today, Su Yun felt happy. Bit by bit, it all added up. She wasn’t greedy.
After resting a little longer, Su Yun slung the bulging backpack over her shoulders and moved around inside the fruit shop.
Having been reborn, memories of her previous life were vivid. She would never forget them. Taking a few more fruits, Su Yun sat down to eat.
The sweet, juice-filled fruit tasted wonderful. She hadn’t eaten things like this in a long time.
In her previous life, when she first went out to search for supplies, she had also come to this food street and this very fruit shop.
But back then, the shop had been in complete chaos, and the remaining fruit was all rotten.
Even rotten fruit had been fought over by many people.
Now, not only had she obtained plenty of fruit seeds to cultivate, she could even eat freely. She was already very satisfied.
While Su Yun was eating a bunch of grapes, two people suddenly rushed into the shop in a flurry.
The people inside had been quiet, but as soon as these two entered, two groups left one after another. The shop, which had held over a dozen people, suddenly became much emptier, with only eight or nine remaining.
Su Yun watched the two newcomers, chewing on grape skins.
The woman was supporting the man. The man kept his head lowered, his body trembling from time to time. When he shook, his right hand trembled as if he had Parkinson’s disease.
The woman’s hair was disheveled, soaked with sweat and stuck to her face. After entering the shop, she helped the man sit on the steps.
She stood up, took off her jacket, and began stuffing fruit into it, while the man started trembling again.
Everyone was frightened by the man’s condition.
“Hey, you two who just came in—what’s going on with this guy…?” someone couldn’t help but ask.
By then, Su Yun had already stood up and put her backpack on, ready to flee.
Based on her firsthand experience in her previous life, this man was almost certainly infected with the virus—on the verge of turning into a zombie.
Two others also noticed that something was wrong with the man and began packing up to leave.
After Su Yun left, two more people followed shortly after.
At that moment, seven people remained in the shop.
The woman didn’t answer the question. She just gnawed on the fruit in her hands. She had been starving for four days, without food or water.
Usually, she never cooked at home and lived on takeout. After the zombie outbreak, the food in the refrigerator had been used up quickly.
She was now starving, and at the same time terrified. The man who came with her was her roommate.
Earlier, while they were searching for food together, the man had protected her and been bitten by a zombie.
With news flooding the internet, she knew his condition was beyond saving. All she wanted now was to grab as much food as possible.
Meanwhile, the man sitting on the steps began trembling even more violently.
His entire body fell backward onto the floor, his skin deathly pale, completely drained of color.
