After March arrived, this place became increasingly lively. As malls and supermarkets gradually reopened, the Safe Zone began to regain a hint of its pre-apocalyptic prosperity.
Walking into the supermarket, looking at the bustling crowd, Chen Shouyi almost felt as if he had returned to the past, if not for the gasoline lamps replacing the electric lights overhead and the meager selection of goods on the shelves.
He walked to the toy section of the supermarket and swept all eight boxes of Barbie Dolls, each measuring about fifteen centimeters, into his shopping cart.
These were likely old stock, and it would likely become increasingly difficult to purchase them as time went on.
Fortunately, each box of Barbie Dolls came with eighteen outfits, totaling one hundred forty-four outfits across the eight boxes. The Shell Lady could wear them for several years, and if she was frugal, with some mending and patching, they could last her over a decade.
