Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies-Chapter 151 - Apple tree

Chapter 151: Apple tree Chapter 151: Apple tree Su Yinhe didn’t agree with his guess.

“It’s not impossible,” Lin Murong said, stroking his chin with a wise look.

“Get lost.”

“Oh.”

“Hey, there seems to be someone over there, go take a look,” Lin Murong suggested using his keen vision to spot a person moving in the distance, though they were quite far away.

But they had to go over there to avoid getting truly lost.

After the three of them walked over, they realized it was a child.

The kid was holding a bright red apple in his hand.

So there really were apples at Apple Base. No wonder it was called Apple Base.

“Who are you?” the child asked, looking at them warily.

“We’re from this base,” Lin Murong bluffed.

“Pah, liar. I’ve never seen you before,” the child said, clutching the apple and stepping back a few paces.

“Really, the base has so many…” Lin Murong trailed off, suddenly remembering that Apple Base wasn’t as populated as Sun Base and this child might actually know everyone here.

“Liar,” the child took a bite of the apple, then took a breath and shouted loudly,

“Help! There are bad guys here to steal apples!”

“Help! Someone’s here to steal apples!”

“Someone is stealing apples!”

No sooner had the child spoken than the street, previously empty of a single hair, suddenly filled with people.

They surrounded the three of them, glaring angrily.

Lin Murong: “!!!”

“Damn. Where did they come from?” Lin Murong was dumbfounded, and then he clung to Su Yinhe’s arm, hiding behind Su Yinhe and Chi Yan.

Su Yinhe: “…”

“Brother Chi, it’s up to you,” Lin Murong patted Chi Yan’s back, entrusting his life to him.

Chi Yan: “…” wasn’t too keen on being relied upon.

“Quick, go notify the boss.” Fortunately, when those people crowded around, they didn’t cry out for violence.

They just stood there, ready to fight with superpowers at any moment.

“Are they going to notify Lin Musen? Oh no, doesn’t that mean Lin Musen will find out we tried to sneak in?”

“So what if he knows, why are you getting nervous?” Su Yinhe thought Lin Murong was really pathetic.

“But… how embarrassing. I’m afraid of the awkwardness. It feels so awkward right now,” Lin Murong whispered.

“You’re afraid of being embarrassed?” Su Yinhe didn’t believe it, given that Lin Murong was such a social butterfly. How could he be afraid of awkwardness?

“Of course, I am.”

“It’s okay, just cover your face later. That way you won’t see him, and then you won’t feel embarrassed anymore,” Su Yinhe pat him calmly.

“Really?”

“Really.”

Su Yinhe was just bluffing, but to her surprise, Lin Murong, this fool, really took her word for it and pulled out a red plastic bag from nowhere, covering his head with it.

And so, when Lin Musen arrived, he saw two normal people and one abnormal person with a red head.

He was stunned.

Lin Musen had been tallying the items in the warehouse. They had gathered so much food in the past few days that they were too busy moving it all, and since the supermarket was closed today, he thought it was a good time to do inventory.

But who could tell him why the supervisor, who had said the supermarket was closed, had stealthily made his way into his base?

And gotten caught.

“Hi,” Su Yinhe greeted him very calmly upon seeing him.

Lin Musen was stunned for a moment and, like a beckoning cat, greeted her back.

She was the boss, the one he was supposed to fawn over.

“How come you…”

“Oh, you know, after staying in the supermarket for long, I just wanted to breathe some fresh air, and accidentally walked into your base,” Su Yinhe lied through her teeth.

I bet you climbed over the wall.

Lin Musen knew she was lying, but he didn’t call her out on it because he wanted to continue shopping.

“Since you’re already here, I ought to treat you well. Disperse, everyone disperse, these are my friends.” Lin Musen spoke to the others.

They obediently dispersed, quickly vanishing once they knew they were Lin Musen’s friends.

Their disappearance was as swift as their arrival.

Except for the child from earlier.

“Dongzi, are the apples tasty?” Lin Musen ruffled his head.

“Yummy, very sweet,” Dongzi nodded, having already finished the apple. He hadn’t discarded the core but cherished it, eating it all.

Leaving only the seeds.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you three for a tour.”

Lin Musen led the three of them, along with a bunch of subordinates, turning left and right.

They followed him to his home.

Lin Musen’s home was at the center of the base.

The closer they got to his house, the more people they encountered.

Everyone who bumped into Lin Musen stopped to greet him respectfully with a salutation of “boss.”

Lin Musen also greeted them patiently.

“Xiao Bei, have you eaten?”

“Uncle Ye, how’s your health lately?”

“Qingqing, have you finished making those shoes?”

Lin Musen knew everyone here well, remembered their names, and their stories.

Following him to his house, they finally understood what that bit of greenery they had seen outside the base was.

At the heart of Apple Base stood a huge apple tree.

The apple tree wasn’t tall, but it was immense, seemingly requiring around a hundred people to encircle it.

The tree was laden with apples of all sizes.

Some as big as ten human heads and others as small as a pigeon’s egg.

There were bright red ones and also green ones.

Quite a sight to behold.

“Let me introduce you to our base’s apple tree, Guoguo.” Lin Musen used his superpower to pluck three normal-sized apples and handed them to them.

“Try these, the apples Guoguo produces are very sweet.”

As Lin Musen spoke, an apple tree branch affectionately rubbed against his hair.

Lin Musen grasped the branch and caressed it soothingly.

Hearing about apples, Lin Murong quickly removed his helmet and teleported to Lin Musen’s side, taking the three apples and then swiftly passed two of them on, keeping one for himself to nibble on.

Unworried about any potential issues.

He crunched away at the apple, eating with rapid gusto.

“Holy shit. These are really sweet, even sweeter than the ones you gave me last time, Brother Chi,” Lin Murong complimented after finishing one.

Su Yinhe: “…”

Aren’t you afraid there might be an issue?

“Here you go.” Chi Yan, unable to bear watching any longer, threw his own apple to him.

Lin Murong accepted it without any pretense and continued to munch noisily.

Having greeted the apple tree sufficiently, Lin Musen then led them into his house.

His house appeared rather ordinary on the surface, just a mud-brick home.

But once inside, it was clear there was more than meets the eye.

His home was a mess, filled with boxes and the rice bought from the supermarket a couple of days ago.

Heaps of things everywhere, leaving only a narrow walkway.

Fortunately, his living room chair was free from any clutter.

“Please, have a seat. I only have apple tea and boiled water; hope you don’t mind.” Lin Musen brought over two transparent pots, one filled with boiled water and the other with neatly cut, sun-dried apple slices.
