Chapter 366: The Mall
"Smack!"
The first floor couldn't get in, so Chen Shi chose to enter from the second floor.
The windows on the second floor had long been shattered, and he easily entered it, and the outermost area was also covered with dirt, but after a few steps, there was not much dirt.
"Mall?"
He was overjoyed, and through the layout of the lobby and the escalator, he estimated that this was indeed a shopping mall.
And it is also a relatively well-preserved shopping mall.
Walking briskly to the side, this large mall is based on an atrium, arranged with various floors and signage.
He scanned the passageways around and found a dusty sign.
"Chinese...... Traditional? ”
He was startled for a moment, and then suddenly calmed down again.
It's just Chinese, and there is no other script, which means that it should still be in China, and the question is how to use traditional characters? Still only in traditional Chinese?
Could it be an island?
No, more likely this is the future of the historical branch!
He should have thought of it, after all, when he grabbed the cube, he didn't find a way to go back to the past, so according to his previous experience, it was more likely to lead to the future.
And the history that has been changed may not have the Qing Dynasty...... Yes, in that era, the wild maidens were not unified at all, and there was no Nurhachi who existed.
The history that has been changed so much, the later history is definitely very different from the history he knew, so there is a great probability that he will continue to use traditional Chinese characters.
He validated this idea and continued to observe the logo.
In this large shopping mall, the basement floor is a supermarket and parking lot, and the first floor is mainly cosmetics, jewelry, and footwear counters. On the second floor, there are all kinds of women's and men's clothing; The third floor is for children's clothing and toys, the fourth floor is for sportswear and bedding, the fifth floor is for electrical appliances and digital products, the sixth floor is for various restaurants and snacks and cinemas, and finally the seventh floor is for gymnasiums, yoga shops, taekwondo gyms and other gyms.
He didn't hesitate to go to the negative floor first.
The elevator must not be able to operate, he chose to take the escalator, the escalator with the power out, can be used like a normal staircase, he took a few steps down, ignored the gold jewelry, and walked forward quickly.
The escalators on each floor of a large shopping mall will not be in the same position, and in order to maximize drainage, the designers will design the escalators on each floor to be relatively far away, requiring customers to walk around the passage for a long time.
During this walk, customers are directed to the adjacent store.
And as Chen Shi came to the first floor, the sunlight outside could barely shine in, and the entire atrium was already very bleak, he walked forward according to the instructions, and after a while, only darkness remained around.
This feeling can be said to be extremely terrifying, and as an ordinary person, I am afraid that I don't have the courage to walk here alone.
Chen Shi was very calm, and he didn't even realize it, compared to the horror of the Xindi-36 colonial area, this city with no people and no one in sight seemed to be safer.
A little darkness, where would he feel.
The environment of the mall may be because of the sealing, there is no water seepage in, the ground is just thick dust, there is no moss and green plants to see, the feet are soft and stepped in the dust, Chen Shi came to the escalator to the negative floor.
"Knock Knock ......"
The empty and quiet environment, I don't know how many years there was the sound of footsteps again, Chen Shi got off the elevator, the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness, he turned on the night vision mode of the gamma suit, and walked without any impression.
As soon as you come to the basement floor, you will be surrounded by transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, and inside the glass is the basement parking lot, which can be accessed through a door.
Choosing to go to the right, after more than 20 meters along a passage full of advertisements, you will enter the gate of the supermarket.
The door was open, and no one was closing or locking it.
Does this mean that the disappearance of the crowd is of a sudden nature?
Thinking about it, Chen Shi stepped in without much hesitation.
When he entered the supermarket, it was not immediately a supermarket, in fact, after stepping into the door, it was a snack area, and he saw many fast food signs, distributed in the hall, but he didn't see people, and the surroundings were full of thick dust.
In the gray and bright field of vision, Chen Shiyi lowered his head, and in a fast food snack area next to him, there was an oil pot on the kitchen counter used by the chef...... However, there is no oil in the oil pan, and it may have been volatilized.
But under the kitchen counter, there was a barrel of cooking oil, black, only less than half a barrel remained, he turned over, lifted it and saw that the bottle had not been opened.
That's terrible, the sealed plastic oil drum, even the oil has volatilized more than half and expired, I don't know how long it has been.
He casually placed the oil drum on the kitchen counter and frowned, this is not good news, once too much time has passed, will there be anything left in the supermarket?
Even if there were, it would be too long to expire.
If he dares to eat food that has expired for several months, or even half a year, there is not much problem.
But food that has expired for more than ten years or even decades, to be honest, he doesn't dare to eat it unless it is a special military compressed biscuit.
There are no doctors in this hellish place, and if you eat something you shouldn't eat, you might die.
When the time came, I didn't meet the enemy and died, but I died of food poisoning, which was quite depressing.
These snack areas are bound to be of little value, most of the food can only be stored for a day or two, and the freezers are at most a month, so after all this time, the devil knows what has gone bad.
He walked through the passage of the snack area and finally reached the entrance of the supermarket.
The technology here is more advanced than in 2018, but the supermarket is not advanced to the extent that he can't understand it, the same containers, the same kinds of things on it.
Maybe it's different, that is, there are dense cameras on top of the container.
There are so many cameras with almost no dead ends, which are certainly not used to prevent thieves, it should be that the entire supermarket has adopted unmanned vending technology.
The customer only needs to take the product and walk out directly, and his account will be automatically debited.
This technology was also possible in his time, but it was not used in a supermarket of this size.
He withdrew his gaze from the camera, swept over the area where many household products were placed, and strolled forward.
Furniture, utensils, etc., and after a while, he saw the food section.
Many, lots and lots of food are just put on the containers.
He paused and picked up what appeared to be a biscuit, wanting to see what the production date was.
Well, the food here should also have a production date, right?
With a faint glimmer, Chen Shi squinted his eyes to enlarge his field of vision and found the production date of traditional Chinese characters.
