Chapter 268: The Empty Supermarket

Before the end of the world, many things were inseparable from electricity, and human daily life was even more inseparable from electricity. As long as there is a power outage, to put it mildly, it is as if you have returned to primitive society all of a sudden, and one or two have become crazy primitive people.

However, after the end times, such things as electricity became dispensable. The survivors who were lucky enough not to turn into zombies on that day only think about how to avoid zombies, how to find food, and then survive this collapsed world, that's all. Therefore, electricity, which was so important before the end of the world, became worthless after the end of the world, even in the wall of life, and the military base where the greenhouse was owned before, only a very small part of the place was electrified, and in other words, it was not blind at night, and he could not see his fingers.

It's just that now when he hears Wang Hanfei complaining like this, Li Jian also realizes the importance of electricity. First of all, the most intuitive is the use of computers, now there are so many experts on their island, even if they want to engage in research, there are computers, there are high-tech instruments, it must be much better than all manual, not to mention that many kinds of research experiments must use electronic experimental equipment, therefore, electricity, this thing, can be said to be indispensable.

In addition, now that Li Jian has decided to transform the island into a decent base, electricity is also necessary in his vision, so it is necessary to find a generator.

After having the idea of finding a generator and erecting a power system on the island in the middle of the lake, Li Jian made a special trip to find Lin Ying.

Li Jian went to the temporary laboratory converted from a log cabin, since the eight experts came back, Li Jian and they also went to the research institute a few times, and brought back some of the experimental equipment that could be used, now the small log cabin is extremely crowded, Li Jian and they are trying to expand the cabin, and the wooden building is not so good after all, of course, these are the next words. At present, the base area of the island in the middle of the lake is still only a prototype, and nothing is perfect, so naturally it can't take care of these things.

"Lin Ying."

Li Jian walked into the cabin and saw at a glance that Lin Ying and Hu Ying were engaged in something, and there were several rhizomes of mutated plants on the table, as well as flowers and fruits, including beef fruits, sustaining fruits and protein fruits, and many fruits that had not been named and were not known if they could be eaten.

"Huh?"

Lin Ying saw Li Jian come in. put down the work at hand, and then stretched back a big lazy waist, highlighting her slender figure, which made Li Jian's face blush slightly, and he hurriedly turned his face away.

When Lin Ying saw Li Jian's appearance, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. Now she gradually likes this way of inadvertently teasing Li Jian, it is always at these times that Li Jian will show some shy expressions, his appearance makes Lin Ying feel very interesting, and she can't help but want to tease him a few more times.

"I'm going to take Qin Hu and them out to find some supplies. Set up an electrical system on the island in the middle of the lake, so that you can do research. ”

Hearing Li Jian say this, Lin Ying immediately understood what Li Jian meant when he came to her.

Before passing, Lin Ying guided them to the north to find the island in the middle of the lake. After the incident that led them to the research to find these experts in various fields, Li Jian was convinced that this was not just Lin Ying's own feelings, not just a coincidence. or other fortuitous probabilistic events.

This is her ability, the ability she gained after her previous awakening. There is no doubt that Lin Ying at this time is a genuine changemaker.

After Li Jian and Lin Ying discussed, the two basically came to a conclusion, they named Lin Ying's ability "Guiding Guidance".

This ability, just as she did before, she was able to guide what other people were going to do in a better direction and guide them, for example, Li Jian came up with the idea of transforming the island in the middle of the lake before, and then Lin Ying guided him to the research institute, and then brought a bunch of experts back. Although it is said that for this small island in the middle of the lake, it is not yet a climate, and it is actually a bit indigestible to bring a few of these experts in various fields before the end of the world at once, as if they are not very manpower now. But in the end, Lin Ying's guidance has a certain effect, and her ability is like this. Therefore, now that Li Jian wants to set up a power system on the island in the middle of the lake, he came to consult Lin Ying.

It's a pity that Lin Ying's answer seems to be different from what Li Jian imagined.

"Now...... I didn't feel anything ......."

Lin Ying tilted her head and thought for a moment and said.

"Doesn't feel anything? What does that mean? ”

Li Jian asked suspiciously.

"How to put it well, I don't feel where you should go to find materials to build the power system, you can't sense anything at all."

Does that mean we shouldn't go out and look for supplies now?

Li Jian couldn't help but think like this, if this is the case, then it is likely that this matter will be a little later. In any case, safety comes first, and the transformation of the island in the middle of the lake is not in a hurry, nor does it have to be done now, which is not realistic.

"I just don't feel that way...... How to put it well, it should be that I feel that my ability does not work at this time...... That's how it feels, right? ”

Lin Ying said a little uncertainly.

Although Li Jian and Lin Ying roughly guessed what Lin Ying's ability was, there were actually many things that were not very clear about this "guidance and guidance" ability, so even Lin Ying herself was not very sure.

"In that case, let's go outside today and simply look for some food and come back, didn't we see a large supermarket chain on the way before we came to Lake Island? Although there is enough food on the island now, there is not too much food after all, and it is good to stock up on some special situations. ”

Li Jian still decided to go outside, although he couldn't get Lin Ying's guidance this time, but they all came like this before, and finding supplies has almost become a part of their lives.

Leaving Qin Hu, a power-type changemaker, here to assist in the transformation of the island in the middle of the lake, and then Li Jian took the rogue A and B, and the overalls uncle who was stumped by Li Jian's design drawings, and the four of them left the island in the middle of the lake with a small wooden boat, and arrived at the lake they came to for the first time.

When Rogue A tied up the small wooden boat, Rogue B suddenly said to Li Jian.

"Boss, isn't this ship a little too small for us?"

Li Jian frowned slightly, in fact, he had already noticed this problem before. But unlike other supplies, it is not easy to find a new ship, which is larger than this small wooden boat. They had searched the entire lake before, but they couldn't find a second such boat, and if they built one themselves, it would be unrealistic, so they could only use it.

"If you can find a bigger one, I'll make you the captain of the ship later."

When he heard this, Rogue B nodded thoughtfully, and he didn't know if he took it to heart, Li Jian didn't care about him anymore, and walked straight towards the path they had come.

It was a large supermarket chain they had met on the road before, and they had made a special supply there at that time, but because they didn't have a base in the middle of the lake at that time, they only took a small part. Now it's different, with the base of Huxin Island, Li Jian felt that if he wanted to move, he would simply empty the supermarket and pile up the supplies. After all, there is not too much food, and it is good to be prepared.

The supermarket was not close to the lake, and the group walked for four hours, finally reaching the vicinity of the supermarket at noon, when the sun was at its strongest.

"I'll make sure I drink all the drinks in it later......"

The hooligan was sweating profusely, and looked at the outline of the supermarket not far away.

When they came out to look for supplies, they had the right to have a full meal outside, and then when they returned to the base area in the middle of the lake, they distributed food according to their work and distributed food in a regular manner, which can be regarded as a small benefit for them to risk their lives to come out to find supplies.

The overalls uncle was also hot and tired, in order to avoid the zombies suddenly running out to attack, he was still holding a Phillips screwdriver in his hand, and at the moment he was wiping his sweat with the hand holding the Phillips screwdriver. Li Jian originally suggested that he use knives to make weapons, but the overalls uncle said that because of years of habit, this Phillips screwdriver was easy to use, so Li Jian didn't care about him.

"Okay, let's have a meal here first, as for the hidden goods, don't be too obvious."

Li Jian has also been an investigator of the Wall of Life, and it is normal to hide some private goods when looking for supplies, so he indirectly acquiesced to this behavior, and gave them a little sweetness, so that they would be willing to follow Li Jian out to find materials, and Li Jian still has some experience in this regard.

But when they opened the door of the supermarket they had locked earlier, everyone couldn't help but stay where they were.

"I'm rubbing! No way?! ”

"What kind of international joke is this?!"

The hooligan A and B scolded directly, the uncle in the overalls looked suspicious, and kept looking around in the supermarket, while Li Jian looked gloomy, and then became extremely dignified.

This supermarket is still there, and even the shelves are not too messy, but the only difference compared to when they came here before is that ......

The shelves of food are empty shells.

The shelves that used to contain a large amount of food were now empty, and Li Jian walked to the shelves and touched them with his fingers, almost not feeling any dust.

"It was moved out in the recent past...... It won't be too long......"

Li Jian muttered to himself.

"What's going on?"

Uncle Wang Hanfei also asked suspiciously, Li Jian inspected the surroundings again, and then walked out of the supermarket to take a look, and then said in a solemn voice.

"Someone got ahead of us and emptied this supermarket......"

"And maybe there are quite a few of them...... In the vicinity, there is likely to be another class of survivors ......" (to be continued......
