Su Ling held a saber in one hand and a flashlight in the other.
Jiang Jiang walked beside her, holding a mace and a flashlight.
With a little experience, Jiang Jiang was no longer as scared.
Besides, with an incredibly powerful elder sister by his side, why would he be afraid?
Without electricity, the vegetables and fruits that could not be stored in the farmers' market had already rotted.
The only things unaffected by the power outage were likely those that were easy to store, like potatoes and onions.
The stalls were adjacent to each other, with goods piled high, but very little could be taken away.
However, for Su Ling, as long as it wasn't rotten or spoiled, she moved everything she could into her space.
The farmers' market was large, with two floors.
The first floor was mainly for selling vegetables, fruits, soy products, seafood, and aquatic products, while the second floor was for selling various fresh meats.
Su Ling had no hope for the fresh meat sold on the second floor.
With the power outage lasting so long, even if meat was found, the weather would have already caused maggots to infest it.
All the undamaged vegetables and fruits on the first floor that Su Ling could transfer to her space, she had transferred.
After sweeping through, Su Ling had a small harvest.
She and Jiang Jiang were lucky; they found lively fish and shrimp still in water at the seafood and aquatic product stalls.
To Jiang Jiang, these were all delicacies.
Fish could be made into braised fish, steamed fish, or spicy fish.
Shrimp could be made into salt-boiled shrimp, garlic shrimp, or spicy crayfish.
And other dishes; each one was a delicious feast that made Jiang Jiang salivate.
Su Ling was not polite; she moved all the live ones into her space.
After half an hour, she turned her gaze to the rows of storefronts.
These storefronts sold various seasonings, spices, and seeds, which Su Ling would need.
To be precise, they would be severely scarce after the apocalypse, reaching a point where they would have value but no market.
She scoured one storefront after another, and wherever she passed, everything was cleared out.
Jiang Jiang was a little follower, trailing Su Ling and helping her scout the surroundings.
He found that after his breakthrough that morning, his perception of everything around him had become more acute, and even in the dark farmers' market, he could see everything clearly without a flashlight.
Soon, the first floor of the farmers' market was cleared out by Su Ling and Jiang Jiang.
Su Ling was reluctant to go to the second floor, but she decided to try her luck and see.
As she had expected, the smell emanating from the second floor was more pungent and intense than on the first floor.
As soon as they stepped onto the second floor, their movement disturbed the feeding rats, scaring them into scurrying in all directions.
Su Ling looked around and saw that the meat stalls displayed rotten meat crawling with maggots.
In front of the stalls were mutated zombies, some with rats in their mouths, others with meat wriggling with maggots.
Upon seeing Su Ling and Jiang Jiang, they all excitedly left their positions, baring their teeth and claws as they charged towards Su Ling.
Although Jiang Jiang had already witnessed the disgusting nature of zombies, he was still disgusted by this scene and held onto the wall, gagging.
Su Ling couldn't be bothered with him; he wouldn't be harmed by zombies anyway. She directly advanced with her saber.
One by one, clean and neat.
During the clearing of zombies, pieces of meat flew out of their mouths, and plump maggots wriggled in the air, which was quite repulsive.
Fortunately, Su Ling didn't care at all; with a swift movement of her hand, her combat power was off the charts.
Years after the apocalypse, food was severely scarce.
And maggots, for starving survivors, were another form of alternative food.
