Chapter 89

It took Hua Chan Juan about 15 minutes to completely clear the passageway. Not counting the first one that I almost ran into, she had 8 others that she needed to take down before we could make it to the food court.  I had to roll my eyes at them. Nine booby traps within a hundred feet seemed like overkill, but who was I to think that?

Once she gave the all-clear, I quickly entered the food court and looked around. I would be the first to admit that the smell was… fresh(?)… how do you politely say that it stunk to high heaven? Anyways…

To make my life easier, I started with the closest restaurant and took everything that seemed like it would still be good. Even only a few days without a working fridge made most things turn to rot before I could get my hands on it, but that was fine.  There were still a lot of juices that didn't need refrigeration, breads, canned fruits, vegetables, and meats were all there, waiting on the shelves for me to take.
