Deep in the Living

Chapter 4 Shopping
The bus sped along the dedicated lane at a speed of 150km/h.

Most residents travel by bus, which is one of the fastest ways to travel in the city. And because of the Corner Law, there is no subway in the city.

The meeting place chosen by the squad leader was the largest supermarket in the city, which Roddy had only been there once five years ago.

≮Next stop, Terminal Supermarket (front square). This station is a high-density platform, the door opening time will be extended to 90 seconds, please get off in an orderly manner≯

This huge landmark building is displayed outside the car window.

The building surface uses a dynamic projection lighting system, which provides continuous lighting while continuously displaying various avant-garde product advertisements.

Each entrance is engraved with the supermarket's logo - "The brain on the shopping floor".

The bustling square in front made Luo Di feel uncomfortable. Apart from school, he had not been to such a crowded place for a long time. He quickly called the class monitor.

Almost at the same time as the call was made, a familiar voice came from the side, accompanied by a slender arm swinging back and forth in the air.

"Rodi!"

Today's monitor is wearing a white T-shirt with a cute rabbit printed on the chest, and tight sweatpants and white sneakers on the lower body.

The practice members mentioned earlier also stood beside her.
One of the boys is a classmate who has been on leave recently.

His sports performance ranked third in the class, only after Luo Di and the class monitor, but he always ranked first in cultural subjects.

Wearing custom glasses with a degree of more than 500 degrees,

A casual shirt and matching cropped trousers suitable for sports.
With a height of 183cm, he is an all-round top student who is good at both sports and studies. He is also the deputy monitor of Class .

Luo Di seldom communicated with his classmates on weekdays, and was not familiar with this person either. The total number of sentences they spoke to each other in two years of high school did not exceed ten.

Of course, the deputy monitor himself was rather eccentric and strange. He liked to go to the end of the stairs or rooftop to read alone when he was not in class.

As for the other member of the team, he was the friend from another school mentioned by the class monitor.

Under the light golden hair are a pair of green jade eyes, white skin,

She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt similar to that of the monitor, with a cartoon ferocious dog printed on the chest, and sports shorts on the lower body.

Compared to the class monitor's thin long legs, this white girl's legs are much thicker. To be precise, the muscles are bigger and more obvious.

It is worth mentioning that her height is higher than that of other members of the team and she is the tallest among the four.

As soon as Luo Di approached, the squad leader began to introduce them enthusiastically.

"I won't introduce our deputy monitor Gao in detail, right? Gao Yuxuan was originally recuperating at home, and he agreed to participate in the practice only to give me, the monitor, enough face."

Luo Di and Deputy Monitor Gao looked at each other and nodded politely.

The monitor then turned to his friends from other schools.

"Anna Ivanova is studying at the best high school in our city. Although her grades are only above average in the school, she is definitely top-notch in our school.

I guess only you, Rody, can compare with her in sports."

Anna had already come closer and looked up and down the ordinary-looking young man, speaking in standard Russian: "Are you Luo Di, whose sports scores are better than Wen's? Do you want to arm wrestle?"

Before Luo Di could refuse, the squad leader had already stood between the two of them.

"Anna, don't scare away the teammates I managed to get here. Let's talk about this after you're familiar with the situation. We're running out of time. Let's go buy the necessities for this practice."

Anna seemed unhappy because she failed to wrestle the opponent, and she walked in front and kept showing off her biceps.

Terminal Supermarket (TSM)

There is a security checkpoint at the entrance similar to that of a smart airport, and every customer needs to be checked before entering. The scanning device will also identify the identification bracelet worn by the individual and retrieve the most recent valid "psychological report".

As students, the four of them go to the school clinic for psychological examinations every two weeks, which is very convenient.

After passing security check,
A manager dressed in a tuxedo immediately arrived at the mall and approached squad leader Wu Wen. "Dear VIP customer, how can I help you?"

"No need, just open the fast lane for us when we check out."

"Then we won't bother you anymore. We will keep an eye on your movements. If you need any help, just wave to the monitor."

Luo Di watched all this silently. It was rumored that membership of the terminal supermarket was not something that could be obtained by paying money, and the number of members was very small.

The monitor skillfully pushed a large shopping cart over and reminded us,

"We have three hours to shop, so let's buy the necessities first."

[Daily Items-Outdoor Survival Equipment Area]

Here you can buy everything you need for camping and survival.

Luo Di had no idea about the content of the practice, nor did he know what kind of things were suitable for field practice. He just watched others take things silently.

"Long-lasting high-intensity flashlight", "Electric lamp (portable)", "Windproof lighter", "Matches", "Portable first aid kit", "Backpack and tool set"

At first it was all relatively normal.

Until Deputy Squad Leader Gao brought a standard field knife,

Anna even chose a tactical axe with a military logo printed on it.
The squad leader did not choose a weapon for self-defense, but looked at the end of the team, "Luo Di, why don't you choose anything? I said that any expenses related to the practice will be entirely my responsibility, don't be embarrassed."

"No, are these cold weapons intended to be used against wild beasts?"

"That's right! I haven't told you the specific type of "practice" yet. This is a brand new practice that has never been mentioned in our books. Maybe it will become mainstream in the future."

The squad leader stepped briskly back to Rody's side.

Tiptoeing closer, his warm lips almost touching his ears as he whispered,
The soft words that flow out from the lips and teeth are like a baby's arms massaging the ears.

"Because we are all top students, I asked my dad to help me with a relatively difficult 'new practice'. A research institute in my city is carrying out a practical project for outstanding young people.

This project can effectively simulate the scenario of encountering [abnormal events].

Don't worry, this simulated event is far less real than reality, and with the precise control of the institute, it will never endanger our lives."

"Simulated anomaly?" It was the first time Rody had heard of it.

"Yes, recently some top students have been doing this practice privately, which is of great help in their studies."

"What about the difficulty?"

"It's between three stars and full stars. It depends on the results of our lottery. So, Luo Di, quickly choose the self-defense props that suit you.

If you don’t have extra training in this area, I personally recommend using the field knife that we practice in physical education class.”

"Well, I'll go shopping alone first."

Luo Di, who had temporarily left the team, twitched his lips a few times. After learning that he could simulate anomalies in practice, a kind of excitement that had been immersed in his thoughts began to slowly emerge.

He even wanted to customize his own mask in advance, but there was no time.

Since it involved killing a simulated target, Luo Di immediately thought of the same hacking props as in the movie, and stopped in front of a machete.
Just as Rody stretched out his hand and was about to grasp the hilt of the knife, the sound of an engine suddenly came from behind him.

Turn around and look,

Luo Di's pupils instantly fixed and contracted, and the excitement hidden between his pupils flowed out like pus.

The view is towards a special counter in the supermarket.
