In about an hour...
Ashira had completely looted the luxury goods stores on these floors! She didn't miss anything!
Women's clothing, men's clothing, children's clothing, sportswear, shoes and socks, bags, watches, cosmetics. Everything from brand stores to luxury boutiques.
Even the big jewelry shops downstairs, with their diamonds and gold displays. The latest iPhone, Apple TV, and iPad... absorbed it like crazy!
SK-II, L'Oréal, La Mer, Chanel brands she could never afford before... absorbed like crazy! Designer bags she could only looked at, luxury pieces that used to require matching status... absorbed...
Diamond rings, gemstones, jade, gold all those glittering treasures she used to admire from behind the glass... absorbed... Her space reached over 100,000 cubic meters in the blink of an eye!
Things in luxury brand stores were insanely expensive a single bag could cost tens of thousands. But the inventory? Pathetically small.
Most luxury shops only had what was on display. If a customer ordered even a few items, they'd have to transfer stock from other branches because the unit prices were so high there was barely anything in reserve!
And this mall didn't even carry the top-tier luxury brands, the ones with price tags reaching millions or even billions!Otherwise, Ashira's space would have soared! Luxury goods are really valuable! Ashira arrived at the underground food court.
Yesterday, she had already swept through the food court once. Although spending money yesterday felt a bit wasteful, it actually saved her quite a bit of time.
Time is the most important thing for her right now! The Zombie virus had just broken out, and everyone was in a daze.
She had to finish her scavenging within these two hours and then escape quickly while transportation hadn't broken down yet.
If she hadn't spent money to buy things yesterday, seeing these scattered and cheap stores one by one at this moment, she could only have skipped them in advance.
However, Ash did take away a few things when she ran through these food court areas. Ovens, ice cream makers, coffee machines - things she could use to make food at home in the future!
Running through these places at full speed, she was now at the large supermarket she visited yesterday! She spent over a million pesos here yesterday but only bought the tip of the iceberg! The supplies here were exploding with quantity!
Ashira climbed over the barrier and jumped directly into the large supermarket. She scavenged even faster inside! She directly touched the shelves! Shelf after shelf was swept in and absorbed!
A shelf of chocolate.
A shelf of cookies.
A shelf of potato chips.
...
...
A shelf of cooked sausages!
Ash rushed directly into their back kitchen for the raw and cooked areas, absorbing a freezer full of frozen ham! A freezer full of chilled roasted chicken!
Everything Ash didn't buy yesterday, she took care of all at once at this moment!
~
In less than half an hour.
the entire super large warehouse supermarket was completely cleared out by Ashira. She was wearing roller skates while scavenging the later sections. She skated at high speed while scavenging!
By the time she finished clearing out the supermarket, she still had 20 minutes left. Ash noticed their internal elevator at this point. These large supermarkets all have their own warehouses.
Ashira entered the internal staff elevator. When the elevator door slowly opened in front of her. What met her eyes was - row after row of supplies packed in boxes.
Hundreds of boxes of high-quality rice, hundreds of boxes of imported snacks... hundreds of boxes of alcohol and condiments, daily necessities, sanitary napkins, etc...
This was the supermarket's warehouse area. Ashira finally understood that this place could absorb the Million-plus pesos worth of goods she took yesterday.
Really, there was still so much?
Ashira skated through these boxed supplies. Wherever she passed, a row became empty.
By the time the system countdown for two hours ended, Ashira covered in sweat, opened a bottle of iced cola and drank it. The warehouse in front of her was also empty.
On this trip, she gained a total of over 14,800 cubic meters of space! Saying it's small, it's small; 14,800 cubic meters is roughly a space 25 meters by 25 meters by 25 meters high.
Saying it's large, it's very large, about the size of a ten-story building! The materials swept up only accounted for one percent, not even filling one floor!
And just like that, the largest mall in the entire city had been completely swept clean by her. Every single supply was now safely stored in her space. Ashira smiled in satisfaction.
She switched into her running shoes, tossed the empty cola bottle into the vacant warehouse, took the service elevator back up to the supermarket, then slipped down the staff stairs.
Job done. Time to go home.
She didn't take the elevator, but she sent it down to her floor and then sent it down to the underground B2 parking lot. Following its rhythm as she went down.
Because the elevator makes noise going up and down, if there was danger in the parking lot, the Zombies would be attracted to the elevator.
Safe.
Ashira descended the staff stairs with light and quickly steps. By the time she reached B2, the elevator she had sent down had just arrived.
"Ding—"
As a sound rang out, Ashira saw a woman who was originally trying to rush into the staff elevator turn and run towards the elevator. Shouting as she ran.
"Help!—"
"Help!—"
Behind her followed two people covered in blood, also wearing staff uniforms.
"Don't come! Don't come! There's someone inside! Eat them, not me!"
The woman saw the opened elevator door as if seeing salvation. She darted in, planning to push the person inside out to stall the monsters outside.
But after the elevator door opened, it was surprisingly, completely empty! While she was stunned, she was pounced on by the Zombies chasing her from behind.
"Don't bite me! Don't bite me! See who I am?! I'm Manager Reyes!"
"Don't bite me!"
The woman screamed loudly. At this moment, she suddenly glimpsed the staff stairwell door she had just intended to use being opened.
A young girl wearing simple sportswear walked out. The woman was startled when she saw her.
This person looked a little familiar... Wasn't that the girl she called poor yesterday!?
"Save me! Save me!" She anxiously waved at Ashira.
"Save me! I'll give you our store's gold card!"
"No! I'll give you 1 piece of clothing! 10 pieces! No.. A hundred pieces!"
"Save me! Ah—"
Ashira held a baseball bat in one hand. Facing such a situation, she would only do one thing and say one word of thanks.
That was to leave quickly while the woman was screaming louder and louder.
"Thank you for being somewhat useful before you die." In Ashira's thoughts.
"Boom—" She slammed down on the accelerator.
Ash rushed out of the garage at full speed! It was a little past 9 o'clock at this time. The City was gradually waking up.
Because the Zombie virus broke out in the early morning, everyone was plunged into confusion and panic within these two hours.
The first ones to suffer were the breakfast shops, sanitation workers, bus systems, and 24-hour establishments that opened early. In these open places with clustered populations, once one case mutated, the entire place fell into chaos!
This morning, the 119 emergency hotlines were overwhelmed! Later, those who wanted to call the police couldn't get through! The City's functional departments were paralyzed!
Next were the office workers, such as those at the mall where Ashira was. It was working hours now. Fortunately, the employees who needed to take public transportation were mostly trapped on the road, as there were no vehicles left!
Unfortunately, for those who did get on a vehicle!
