363 Supermarket Puzzle

After solving the harassment of the velociraptor and the mosquito swarm, the team's advance speed suddenly accelerated, and finally stepped into the urban area of ​​Shangshan City before dark.

If it weren't for the rusty metal road sign behind the vines, Xu Mo really couldn't imagine that his hometown has lived for nearly 20 years under the virgin forest that is almost as far as the eye can see.

Except for a dozen high-rise buildings with more than [-] floors, the entire Shangshan City has been completely buried in the deep and towering dense forest. From a distance, it looks like a legendary lost civilization relic.

A few Archeopteryx slowly flew overhead, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar city under the setting sun, it was hard for Xu Mo to express in words.

Tang Guo, Gong Xiaoye, Xu Bilin and her classmates...are they still living in this city? [

"I found it, there is a supermarket in front."

A joyful call interrupted Xu Mo's thoughts. It turned out that Gu Bao and Wei Qingfeng, who were in charge of exploring the way, had returned.

They had to hurry and be ready to fight at any time. The physical and mental pressure had already made most of the team exhausted. After hearing the news, they finally cheered up again and turned over to sit on their respective beasts.

Walking hundreds of meters along the way, under the dim light of the setting sun, you can already see a goose-yellow light box plaque in the depths of the deep forest.

"The supermarket... not bad. If you're lucky, there are chocolates and jelly to eat." Concubine Gong Hua was also a little excited, and jumped off the horse.

"Actually, I want to eat ice cream..." Ai Momo said in a weak voice, and then smiled embarrassedly, obviously knowing that this idea is not realistic.

"What about you?" Now that the topic was off, Xu Mo turned to look at Li Li and He Shang.

"I want to eat fried chicken and French fries." Li Li licked her lower lip reminiscingly. She liked to eat these before the doomsday, but she didn't have the money to buy them.

He Shang curled his lips and said, "Where can I get you ice cream and fried chicken from the deep mountains and old forests? I can't say something reliable... Go in and find a diesel generator first, I'll charge my psp first .”

For safety reasons, before entering the supermarket, Hao Nanren threw two flashlights into it.

Of course, Xu Mo already knew that there was no living thing inside, and that these two flashes were thrown for nothing, but he didn't want to reveal his cards, so he had to pretend to be very cautious, turned on the strong flashlight, and carried Ben Lei The long knife carefully followed the team and searched into the supermarket.

Since all the openings are covered with vines, the interior of the supermarket can be described as being invisible. Forty beams of bright flashlights hit the surrounding walls, roughly illuminating the entire interior of the supermarket.

The area of ​​this supermarket is less than [-] square meters, and the shelves are placed quite densely. Vegetable racks, freezers, refrigerators, etc. are also readily available. It is a typical supermarket layout in a residential area.

After a power outage for several months, there was no need to look inside the refrigerator and freezer, and everyone started looking directly from the shelves.

The coquettish young woman Liu Yutao of the "White Bat" team is an agile and capable person. Her figure flickered and she came to the shelf in an instant, and then she yelled: "I'm sub-Ao! This supermarket has been washed!"

This Liu Yutao had been a "missing woman" for a period of time before the doomsday. She was born in the market and she was used to speaking dirty words. Everyone was used to this, but her words shocked everyone.

If someone really got there first to take away the food from this supermarket, then I'm afraid we have to find another source of food.

But after everyone checked all the shelves nervously, they were relieved.

It turned out that the shelves were not ransacked, but some of the goods were taken away, and daily necessities such as silk quilts, toothpaste and toothbrushes, pots and pans were not moved at all. [

The already hungry people immediately set up a pot to boil the instant noodles, and threw the vacuum-packed beef knuckles into the pot as if they didn’t need money. Not to be outdone, a female member munched on potato chips.

Li Li and Ai Momo also went to the snack area with their shopping carts to satisfy their shopping addiction. They stuffed them into the cart regardless of whether they were useful or not. After all, after the end of the day, they hadn't enjoyed shopping for a long time.

The space ring in his hand contained a lot of things, Xu Mo was not that eager to find food, he just randomly opened a pack of vacuum-packed beef strips and chewed them in his mouth.

Suddenly he found a dark figure squatting on the ground in the grain, oil and vegetable area, looking for something. The beam of the flashlight shone there, and it turned out to be He Shang.

"What are you looking for? Isn't the grain and oil area long gone?"

"That's why I was looking for it... I have to know where all these things have gone." He Shang squatted on the ground and continued to grope, with an expression that didn't seem like he was joking.

"Why do you care so much about this?" Xu Mo believed that He Shang would not target him, he must have discovered something.

"Because there is a special phenomenon that makes me feel very strange."

He Shang stood up, and the beam of the flashlight swept back and forth on the shelves.

"Have you noticed what is being taken away from this supermarket?"

"Rice, flour, dried noodles, and some vacuum-packed meat." Xu Mo replied casually. It's not that he has a photographic memory, but these things are all packed, and the empty shelves are always empty. very conspicuous.

"Don't you think that already explains the problem?"

Xu Mo is not stupid, he just didn't think about this phenomenon at a deeper level before. After He Shang reminded him, he realized that this matter is indeed not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Although the supermarket is messy, there are no traces of human life. In other words, the items in the supermarket are not consumed by survivors in the city, but are transported to other places in an organized and purposeful manner.

If this theory holds true, it leads to two more questions: Where did these survivors transport their things?Why did they only take away the main food such as rice and noodles, and turn a blind eye to other snacks and daily necessities?

Xu Mo stated his thoughts frankly, and He Shang touched his chin to confirm his guess, and said: "If the survivors passing by are looking for food, due to the limited amount they can carry, most people will prefer meat and sugar, which can provide more food. High-calorie foods, or biscuits, which are light and easy to carry.

However, this group of survivors chose rice and white flour, which is neither directly edible nor heavy, which means that they either have a lot of people, or have enough means of transportation, and of course, they may have both.

But this leads to another paradox. Since they have people and cars, why don't they take more things with them? "
