Chapter 2 The Secret of the Jade Pendant
In his mind, the image of rows of neatly arranged goods became clearer and clearer. Tang Mo suppressed the great joy in his heart and stared at the bottle of Coke in the freezer in his mind. With a thought, he suddenly felt a cold touch in his hand.
Done!
Tang Mo opened his eyes and saw a bottle of Coke with water drops suddenly appearing in his hand.
Without thinking, she opened it and took a big gulp down her throat. The sweetness and coolness in her mouth told her that all this was true. She didn't have to wait until the end of the world. The space in the jade pendant had already been opened now!
Walking to the freezer, Tang Mo observed by himself that the row of Cokes he had just sorted was still full. It seemed that the supermarket in Yuzhui was not similar to the real supermarket.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, he had always had doubts about this in his previous life. Because there was no way to verify it at that time, when he got the jade pendant in his previous life, he did not dare to take out more of the contents immediately.
She was afraid that if they were really connected, her mother would not have enough if she took out too much. She made up her mind to only take what she needed, but she lost the jade pendant before she could take it.
Suddenly, Tang Mo seemed to have thought of something. He opened the store door and ran to the supermarket across the street to buy a bottle of water. Then he quickly ran back and put the purchased water on the shelf, then closed his eyes and entered the space.
.
The shelves in the space remained the same, and there was no extra bottle of water.
Tang Mo opened his eyes, took the water in his hand, and then thought about putting it into space.
Sure enough, when he entered the space again, the bottle of water had already appeared in the empty space without shelves in the corner of the supermarket. That was the location of the cashier in the real supermarket. Obviously, the supermarket in the space did not have a cashier setting.
Tang Mo controlled the movement of the bottle of water in his mind, but he could only move it within three square meters from left to right.
At the end of Tang Dynasty, he understood clearly. It seemed that the shelves in the supermarket were filled with ready-made supplies that could be used by himself.
The space left for you to install other things is only 3 square meters.
This is enough.
At the end of Tang Dynasty, he was satisfied. Although his supermarket was small, it was well-equipped.
Whether it is bags of rice, flour, grains, oils or sealed instant noodles of various snacks, they are enough for her to eat alone for several years. Not to mention there are two large freezers of water, almost an entire wall of boxes of mineral water, and various seasoning pots.
There are bowls, pans, blankets, bedding and other daily necessities.
What are these? These are the gradual sense of security.
Tang Mo was not a greedy person, these were enough for her.
The first priority is to strengthen her jade pendant necklace. This is the most important thing for her now. Nothing is more important than this.
If she lost the jade pendant again this time, she would even cry to death.
Checking the time, it was just past 10 o'clock, and Tang's mother wouldn't be able to go home until at least 6 p.m.
Tang Mo got dressed, took his wallet key, locked the supermarket door and went out.
There are still seven days left, and hell on earth is about to come. At this time, who has any thoughts about how many cans of Coke and packs of cigarettes can be sold today?
Tang Mo has been very smart since he was a child. He went to the best high school and university with almost no effort, and even received scholarships.
Tang’s mother’s monthly profit from opening a small supermarket is not very high, but because both of her mother and father are relatively frugal people, and Tang Mo always earns some extra money as a subsidy, after so many years, not only has her life not been stretched, but she has even been able to live comfortably.
Made a deposit.
Tang Mo didn't know how much money Tang's mother had in her hand, but she had twenty thousand yuan in her card and several thousand in cash. All of this money would have to be spent in exchange for supplies in the past few days.
Although the money is not much, I have saved it one by one.
Tang Mo felt heartbroken for himself when he thought that in his previous life, he had been frugal for so long, and in the end all his money died in the bank and turned into a string of numbers.
Fortunately, God gave her a chance to come back.
Mom is still alive, the jade pendant has not been lost, and her optimistic nature has returned to her in the late Tang Dynasty.
As long as his mother is still there, no matter what happens, even if the next second is hell, Tang Mo will have no fear.
After taking a taxi to a nearby hardware store, Tang Mo found a store that looked more professional and walked in.
Sitting on a wicker chair in the store was an older man, wearing a vest that had been washed so the color could not be seen. He was busy with his work with his eyes lowered and his head down.
Tang Mo didn't say anything or urge him, but stood quietly and waited.
After the master finished his work, he looked up at Tang Mo and asked, "What do you need?"
"I want to match my jade pendant with a chain." Tang Mo said, taking off the necklace from his neck and handing it out. The thin red rope was worn and uneven in thickness, and the jade pendant hanging on it looked like a chain.
Somewhat shaky.
The old master carefully took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.
"The hanging ring on the pendant is quite strong. Unless the jade is broken, it won't be broken. The chain is indeed broken. It's time to replace it."
"Girl, I advise you to go to the jewelry store next door to get a chain. I don't have any gold or silver. I just want it to be strong and durable, but it doesn't look good." The master kindly reminded me.
Tang Mo curled his lips. What she wanted was durability and durability. Beauty was not something she considered at all. The more inconspicuous the better.
"It doesn't matter how strong it is. This thing is very important to me. I just want to make sure it hangs around my neck all the time. Nothing else matters."
"By the way, see if you can put on two chains, it will be safer."
At the end of Tang Dynasty, he thought about it and still felt uneasy. A chain was still a little unsafe. This jade pendant was a life-saving thing. It was impossible not to be cautious.
"Okay, just wait a moment, this thing is fast."
In less than an hour, the master handed the remade chain into Tang Mo's hands.
There are indeed two necklaces on the pendant, one is a particularly thin metal snake bone chain, and the other is a black leather rope, which looks strangely fashionable.
The materials of both chains are very strong, and the buckle part has been modified by the master. It is very troublesome to remove it manually, let alone it will fall off by itself.
The length is also designed according to the requirements of the late Tang Dynasty. If it is too short, it will be too conspicuous hanging outside, and if it is too long, it will be inconvenient to move. It is just right now.
Obviously the chef in this shop was very good at his craftsmanship. Tang Mo put the necklace on his neck with satisfaction, then reached out and tugged on it.
Not to mention, it is not only sturdy but also quite fashionable.
Tang Mo felt that his heavy metal double chain design seemed to be at the forefront of fashion, and he praised himself silently in his heart.
After paying the money, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and Tang Mo was no longer so panicked in the face of everything that was about to come.
Thinking of the three square meters of space left in the jade pendant, Tang Mo suddenly had an idea and thought of something.
Three square meters is just a floor space, but you can’t waste the height.
After carefully thinking about the height of his own supermarket, Tang Mo ordered 5 more modular shelves from his boss, all of which were 8 meters high. Everything in the space was accessed using mental energy, so there was no need to consider the height.
As for the problem of too high, of course the higher the better.
The middle layer is made of detachable long aluminum composite panels, which allows Tang Mo to freely combine and store things of various sizes, maximizing the use of the three square meters of space.
Because I needed it urgently, I had to ask the boss to deliver it tomorrow. Tang Mo added more money. Counting the price of the necklace, I spent a total of 2,300 yuan here today.
It’s money well spent!
After explaining all the details to the master, Tang Mo walked out with a smile. It was the first time he had saved money and spent money lavishly in so many years. Don't tell me, it was really satisfying.
After checking the time and weighing the money left in his pocket, Tang Mo moved to the next place, the drugstore.
In the first half of the apocalypse, the fog has not yet dissipated, and strange beasts have not yet appeared.
In addition to enduring famine, humans actually did not lack medicine. However, half a year later, strange beasts became rampant, and large areas of buildings collapsed overnight and were replaced by ancient trees and vegetation that emerged from the earth.
Medicines have become a very scarce thing, especially for people who often go hunting. Bleeding and injuries have almost become a common occurrence. An accidental infection without medicine will kill you.
Five thousand yuan was the budget for buying medicine for himself in the late Tang Dynasty.
After the apocalypse, human beings' physical fitness has greatly improved, and colds and fevers are almost non-existent. However, anti-inflammatory drugs, hemostatic drugs and bandages are indeed life-saving things. These three items accounted for most of the budget in the late Tang Dynasty.
In addition, due to the lack of normal food, the water everyone drinks is becoming more and more dirty, and the food they eat is becoming more and more terrible. Gastrointestinal medicine and anti-diarrhea medicine are also necessary. The remaining miscellaneous ones are more needed according to memory in the late Tang Dynasty.
We have made some preparations for those situations. After all, we are prepared for anything.
After buying the medicine, I went to a sporting goods store and bought a few sets of neat sportswear, sneakers and two sports backpacks.
The late Tang Dynasty has always been about dressing up in a ladylike style, and now it is summer and most of the wardrobe is filled with skirts.
I still remember that in the last life at the end of the Tang Dynasty, when I was trapped in school, wearing a skirt was extremely inconvenient. It was neither stain-resistant nor strong, and it would hinder the movement of the team.
It was only after she left school that she changed into long clothes and trousers that didn't fit her well. She would never suffer such a loss again in her life.
After buying clothes, Tang Mo went directly to the barber shop next to him and asked Teacher Tony to cut his short, clean hair and make it thinner. The more convenient and simple the better.
"Beauty, you should cut your hair a little. You can't even wear a skirt that short, and you won't look good with long hair." Teacher Tony was very conscientious and tried his best to persuade the late Tang Dynasty to have the self-consciousness of a beautiful woman.
"Just cut it, it doesn't matter if it doesn't look good." Tang Mo sat on the chair minding his own business.
Looking at the long hair that he had carefully cultivated for many years falling to the ground in the mirror opposite, Tang Mo slowly lowered his eyes. What's the use of looking good?
In the apocalypse, if there is no strong strength to back them up, the ones who will live the worst life and be worse off than death are the pretty girls.
In the late Tang Dynasty, girls who were beautiful but weak in ability were the most disadvantaged in the apocalypse. But fortunately, they still had a lot of cleverness. Not long after the apocalypse began, they realized the problem and took care of themselves.
Dirty and always hunched over, he avoided a lot of trouble.
It's not that the late Tang Dynasty thought too much, but that after the world lost the laws to maintain normal order, human beings gradually returned to the biological chain of the jungle and the strong.
Whoever is stronger will have more resources. This is the default law.
Etiquette, justice, integrity, respecting the elderly and caring for the young, and giving priority to ladies all cease to exist. When morality begins to collapse, people tear off their hypocritical masks one after another, leaving only naked humanity.
Everyone is struggling in the apocalypse. No one knows whether they will be able to take a bite of food tomorrow or whether they will be torn in half by alien beasts. In a world where it is hard to live, who will have the energy to spare?
To consider others?
The only way to be strong is to be strong. Before you have enough strength, you must keep a low profile.
