Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 194: Hitting the Jackpot

Yang Leo was given the same motivation when he came back, and like the others. Realizing that his family could have more food and drinks and not have to eat a few bites every meal, he was happy.

Chu Miao and Ye Xuan had gone from shop to shop looking for more supplies. They didn’t lack these things, but because they had more people to feed than they planned when they were buying supplies before the apocalypse, collecting more was necessary.

They did not discriminate against anything they found. Whether it was deemed useful or not, they believed that they would find some use one day.

Thus, even the furniture in the offices found in these shops was spared. Whether it was a simple couch, a table, or a set of stools and coffee tables, they were all packed and put in the space ring.

To avoid some of human nature’s emotions from creating a rift, they piled some of the supplies they found at the door of each shop.

There were all sorts of supplies including food, clothes, shoes, bags, and many others. They even removed solar panels mounted on walls in the balcony of the shops or outside the window.

Solar batteries were not spared either. In one of the snacks shops that used to sell all types of meat snacks such as dumplings, skewers, chicken nuggets, and other things, they heard the sound of a freezer running as soon as they walked in.

This was on the fourth floor. It was surprising how a freezer can run in such a situation. Even though the electricity had only been completely cut off in the last few days in their community, with the situation here in downtown, it must have been gone for a while.

Moreover, with the constant rain, there was not enough sun to power a battery that could run a freezer. Therefore, there can only be one explanation. A generator was running it.

However, Chu Miao wondered what kind of generator could be so quiet that only the humming of the freezer could be heard.

She and Ye Xuan looked at each other and walked into the shop. Unlike other places where they saw chaos as soon as they entered, this place was clean.

The tables and chairs were arranged neatly and they had been wiped clean. There was an enclosed counter in one corner near the door, which seemed to be the place where people would place orders and pay.

The system looked a lot like a fast food joint. But obviously, it was not. Picking up one of the menus on a table, Chu Miao went through it and realized that the owner of this place was very business savvy.

They had included any snack that could be made with meat in the menu. It looked like their main ingredient in the shop was meat. Then they would season it and marinate it with different spices and condiments to tailor different tastes.

This targeted a large variety of customers. The age group didn’t matter because anyone would be thrilled to taste something different every time they come to the shop. It could ensure the shop has a constant flow of return customers.

No wonder they didn’t skimp on the storage expenses to ensure that they have enough meat at all times.

They followed the sound and found a store room with two large freezers inside. This surprised them. Business must have been good for the owner to run two such large freezers without caring about the cost.

Especially the cost of running them when power was out. Having this kind of backup generator was not cheap.

Chu Miao went to open one of the freezers and the cold air hit her face. Luckily, with spiritual power, this level of cold couldn’t harm her or even be felt.

Nevertheless, Ye Xuan being the considerate boyfriend, still used his spiritual power to envelope her and protect her from the cold. freewёbnoνel.com

"Don’t catch a cold. It will be uncomfortable." Ye Xuan said with a gentle voice and a scowl on his face.

Chu Miao felt a warm current in her heart. She knew that he was aware that such a cold couldn’t do anything to her, but the fact that he was still worried about her health made her happy.

"Don’t worry, I will be fine." Chu Miao replied as she looked at him with a bright smile.

It was rare to see her smile so brightly. Only then Ye Xuan saw an expression that reflected her age. She was always so composed and acting so mature it was heartbreaking.

Now seeing her smile like that just because he showed a little concern surprised him. He thought that she was used to being protected by her family like a treasure and wouldn’t care about such a small gesture, but she really appreciated it.

Care from her family came naturally and at some point, it became something like an entitlement to her. Even if she didn’t solicit for it, it will be given.

However, receiving such care for small things from other people who were not doing it to please her or with the motive of getting closer to her family for benefits was rare.

The reason she didn’t have many friends was because all those who approached her and tried to befriend her always had a motive.

Some had even been ordered by their families to befriend her because they knew that her family doted on her to an unreasonable degree.

Hence, if they managed to become her friend, they could use her to get some benefits from the company or even have some progress in the military as a word from her grandfather could help them in their careers.

After Chu Miao realized that many people were only interested in what they could get from her and not her as a person, she started distancing herself from such people and by the start of the apocalypse, she only had one person she could call a true friend.

Now that she saw someone showing care for something so small without expecting any benefits, she was indeed touched.

With a smile, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Ye Xuan on the lips.

It was just a small touch of the lips, but it made Ye Xuan tremble.
