Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday - Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Robbing Supermarket

[Time left before the end of the world: 8 Days and 4 Hours]

It was exactly 8:45 PM when Grace stepped out of her apartment, dressed in all black. As she made her way to twentieth floor, she found Davian, Kevin, Dr. Kian, Rune, Valeska, and Andy already waiting for her in the hallway.

“Am I late?” She asked when she noticed that the others were already there. Thinking about how quickly she got dressed and headed downstairs, she couldn’t believe that she was actually late, but it seemed like the case.

“You are not. We just got here as well.” Davian answered as he gave her a soft smile.

Ever since the two of them gave into their desire for each other days ago, something had changed between them. They hadn’t changed their behavior toward each other, nor had they talked about that night yet, but Grace could feel the shift.

The only reason she couldn’t talk about that night was her jumbled relationship with these men. While she knew that she had developed some sorts of feelings for Davian, she couldn’t ignore that she felt something for Rune as well, despite the mysterious that still surrounded him, and then there was another man there who had been showing a lot of interest in her – Dr. Kian.

Though Dr. Kian hadn’t voiced his interest in her out loud, she could clearly see the signs. If she had to guess, then it was probabaly her unclear relation with both Davian and Rune that was holding him back.

She knew that she needed to sit down and talk the matter out with the men, especially with Davian and Rune. While Rune had said it several times in the past that he didn’t care about her having romantic relationships with either Davian or Dr. Kian, she still wasn’t sure if he really meant those words.

Shaking away those thoughts, she focused her attention on the important matter at hand. It had been over a week since the snowstorm hit the Sunspire City, and just like how the rain stopped the city life from moving forward, this snowstorm had done a similar job.

People were once again locked within their homes because the world outside was freezing. Water had frozen, and people had to boil the ice to find drinking water. Power and gas supplies kept cutting off because of the harsh weather and the cold. The roads were blocked and people could no longer go out to find food.

Worst of all, even the government was struggling to find a way to tackle the ongoing disaster. As these disasters kept hitting the country one after the other, everyone was realizing that the peaceful days were long over.

The authorities, and rich people of the country had become busy to make their own lives safe before thinking about the normal citizens. And while the government was still making some efforts to handle the situation and help the people, it would soon stop doing so once the pandemic would hit.

In the previous timeline, all it took was the appearance of the zombies that made the government, the authorities, and all the rich people to stop worrying about anyone else and focus on their own safety.

Instead of using military to keep the nation safe, they used their money and influence to hire the military for their own protection from the zombies. They hoarded all the supplies and found the safest locations to hide, leaving the normal people to fight for their own survival.

Just thinking about the life that she witnessed within the first six months of the apocalypse in the previous timeline, was enough to cuase a cold shiver to run down Grace’s spine. Trusting the government was the worst decision anyone could take in the current situation.

That’s why, she was going to do everything in her power to save herself and the people who were dear to her. This particular night, she and some of the others were going to visit some of the supermarkets around the city to hoard more supplies.

The seven of them gathered in the living room of Unit 2001 and Davian opened a portal to a supermarket he visited when he first arrived in the city. At this point, everyone in their team knew about his power and some of Grace’s secrets, hence, no one was surpised as they saw a magical window opening in the middle of the living room that led inside the supermarket.

All seven of them stepped through the portal, appearing on the second floor of the supermarket. After the rain disaster, the supplies from the first two floors were changed, but no one expected for the snowstorm to hit the city not long after, causing the business to be stopped all over again.

While the building in itself seemed badly affected by the flood water that filled it halfway to the first floor, the supplies were all in good condition as they were recently replaced.

On the ground floor, there were mostly garment and electronic stores. The team picked up everything that consisered important and Grace immediately stocked up everything inside her space.

Then they headed to the upper floors, stocking up everything from the food section, skincare section, special gear section, tool section, medicine section, and even the jewelry section.

While they had no need for jewelry, gold and other precious metals could still be used for various purposes in the future. Since they had the chance to collect them, there was no reason not to do so.

As usual, 2025 had taken care of all the cameras present within the building, and while barely any of them was in working condition, they still didn’t dare to take any chance.

It took them about two hours to empty the place, and just as they were preparing to step out of the building to head toward another supermarket located couple of blocks away, they heard noises coming from the entrance.

Realizing that they had company, the seven of them immediately took shelter, hiding from plain sight as a group of people stepped inside the building.
