"I think we should listen to the police officer's opinion!" Seeing that David and Ollie were about to start arguing over whether to stay put in the Supermarket or go look for another base, Amanda stepped in to mediate.
In the original story, this woman was the female lead. Within two days, she and the male lead seemed to have developed some feelings, but because of the life-or-death crisis, they didn't have any real intimacy.
If the ending wasn't so ridiculous, maybe they would have actually become a couple after escaping.
After all, the male lead's wife should have already been eaten by the monsters!
Compared to Mrs. Marjorie's looks, Amanda at least met the standard of normal people's aesthetics. Although she was in her thirties, her figure and skin were well-maintained. With a little makeup, she could barely be considered a still-charming beauty.
No way, this wasn't a big city. If someone was pretty enough to be a mistress for the rich, they would have already left. They wouldn't be staying in a small place like this.
Li Qingyuan, holding snacks, watched the scene unfolding before him like he was watching a play, thinking, as expected of a literary film specifically designed to highlight human nature.
This is a matter of life and death, and they're still trying to protect their own little territories. It's a bit ridiculous.
After Mrs. Amanda's reminder, David and Ollie stopped bickering and looked at him.
"You have no idea how terrifying bio-weapons are. For those large monsters, whether it's a concrete house or a glass-paneled Supermarket, the defensive effect is the same." Li Qingyuan shrugged. Unless it's a military base-level building, they'd all be stomped by the Son of the Goat.
Besides, the Supermarket had so many attribute points, and he wouldn't give it up easily before facing a real crisis.
With Li Qingyuan's support, David was instantly full of confidence and immediately started arranging for everyone to reinforce the Supermarket's defenses.
After learning that there were cannibalistic bio-monsters outside and that the government and the military would come to the rescue, even Norton, the most stubborn black lawyer, had to start moving goods as instructed.
After all, anyone would know it's better to stay in the Supermarket and wait for rescue than to rush out and face the unknown horrors alone.
Although Li Qingyuan had already made up his mind to make these guys suffer a bit, he still offered a few pointers to help them make their defensive measures even better.
For example, taking all the books and paper from the Supermarket and gluing them to the glass, then taping them up.
For the people in the Supermarket, what they needed to worry about wasn't a top-tier BOSS like the Son of the Goat, because they wouldn't even be able to run if they encountered that thing!
Li Qingyuan felt that, based on the system's nature, the monsters he would encounter would primarily be Small, Pack Monsters, and then at the end, it would probably spawn a Giant Octopus or Giant Mantis Monster for him.
The entire glass wall was quickly covered with paper thanks to everyone's efforts. Admittedly, the defensive effect of doing so was almost zero, but at least it could block the monsters' view of the outside.
As for whether those monsters actually had vision?
Who knew?
"What you are doing is utterly useless. The Lord is watching you. We must bravely face the Lord's judgment. Humanity's greed will surely ignite the Lord's wrath!" Mrs. Carmody, clutching her "The Bible", hopped around, preaching her doomsday philosophy.
Seriously, when watching the movie, he thought this woman was quite annoying, but when he actually saw her, he found this person was also somewhat pathetic.
Living in her own delusions... at least those otaku in the two-dimensional world were immersed in something beautiful. She, on the other hand, lived in a world of suffering. Living must be an extremely painful experience for her!
Of course, regardless of how pitiful this woman was, Li Qingyuan wouldn't have a shred of pity for her.
If the mission hadn't required him to include her, he'd have let Mrs. Carmody be killed by the monsters tonight during the chaos.
"Officer, may I ask your name?" Amanda approached Li Qingyuan and asked.
Most people in the Supermarket were working hard to survive, but Li Qingyuan, the instigator, was resting comfortably on the sofa.
In his words, he needed to conserve his energy to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise and require his intervention.
Of course, these high-sounding words didn't seem to work on these American citizens. Several of them actually demanded that he help out with the work.
And then...
After he pulled out the pistol from his waist, those guys immediately realized their mistake and stated that it was the basic responsibility of the citizens to let the officer rest well.
Indeed, it's the free United States; using guns to reason works better than anything else.
"Just call me Officer Li, okay?" Officer Li glanced at Amanda, then looked away.
Admittedly, Amanda was a world of difference from Mrs. Marjorie, but she still didn't meet his aesthetic standards.
So, even though she'd used the "charging with the ball" technique, he remained completely unmoved.
"Officer Li, can you save a spot for me?" Seeing him look and then turn away, Amanda immediately lowered her body and whispered in his ear.
As a woman, Amanda was much more astute than David and Norton. She had seen Ollie and the officer go to the restroom together, and then disappear from sight for a while. She immediately knew that the officer must have given Ollie some special task.
The supermarket was just the first layer of the plan. Since the system had given him seven days, Li Qingyuan couldn't just rely on one thing.
The supermarket was currently packed with over two hundred survivors. Even if his system was purely a system, devoid of any emotional factors, it was unlikely to let him get through this wave peacefully.
So, preparing a way out was definitely necessary.
Ollie, as the supermarket manager, knew there was an Underground Warehouse behind the Supermarket. It should be able to accommodate a dozen or so people.
Therefore, Li Qingyuan instructed him to move some food and fresh water to the back. If they encountered any irresistible force, they could just use the others in the Supermarket as bait, and he would take Ollie and a few others to the Underground Warehouse.
Naturally, not too many people could know about this. After all, they still needed these cannon fodder to contribute!
He hadn't expected that, after just a brief instruction to Ollie, this woman had already figured it out.
It seems that no matter when, you shouldn't underestimate anyone!
