Chapter 2 Mysterious Buildings
Everything outside the door has not returned to normal.
Still a forest.
It was a sunny day today, and the sun had already come out, but the branches and leaves of the woods were very dense, and only a small amount of sunlight could reach the ground through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
The surroundings are very quiet.
There is no insect chirping, no bird chirping, so quiet that it makes people feel like the world is dead.
Lu Chao explored all the way forward. Except for occasionally hearing the howlings of wild beasts from far away, he did not see any animals in the woods, and even a bird.
The woods in the real world cannot be like this, right?
In order to avoid losing direction in the woods, Lu Chao used a fruit knife to dig a small amount of bark from the trees beside him to mark it.
This strange forest seemed to be nothing but trees. Later, Lu Chao discovered that he had never encountered any animals or birds except for the occasional howling of wild beasts.
There are not even insects or ants on the ground.
In a normal world, it is impossible that there are only trees, but no such things, right?
Before he knew it, Lu Chao had been walking in the woods for more than twenty minutes, but wherever he saw, there were trees. This even made him a little suspicious that this forest was endless.
Just when Lu Chao was thinking that he had gone too far and wanted to return the same way, he suddenly realized...
It seems like there is a white ground in the woods in the distance?
After hesitating for a while, Lu Chao decided to go and find out.
He approached carefully and marked the trees along the way, and Lu Chao gradually approached the white ground.
The white ground extending to both sides.
Not the ground, but a road!
It is a very flat cement road about six meters wide.
There are roads in the woods, and there are cement roads that can be opened to traffic.
What does it mean to have a road?
It means that there are likely villages and towns nearby.
It means that the father and daughter can return to the normal human world from here!
Lu Chao marked several trees on the side of the road, and then he explored the past in one of the directions along the cement road.
He did not dare to walk on the road, but walked along the roadside, observing the situation around him as he walked.
After walking for more than ten minutes, there were woods on both sides of the road.
Just as Lu Chao was considering whether to return the same route or explore in another direction, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a building complex dozens of meters across the road.
The building complex is hidden in the woods, not very obvious.
But when Lu Chao walked forward dozens of meters, the building complex was completely revealed in front of him.
The tall barbed wire fence is not a complex, but a whole building.
There are also a few big characters on the top of the building's gate.
"Dimensional Supermarket."
Dimension supermarket? Why is it called such a name?
It is impossible for supermarkets in the real world to have such a name?
Does this mean that the father and daughter and the house are now in a dimensional space?
Lu Chao's heart was pounding.
The supermarket wall fences look very new and should be in normal business conditions.
If the supermarket is open normally, he can buy some essential daily necessities from it, such as Yaya's milk powder, diapers, etc.
There are also fresh vegetables and fruits.
Lu Chao continued to approach the past and came to the front of the supermarket.
The glass door of the supermarket is closed, and you can see a large store inside through the glass.
There are a wide range of goods in the store shelves.
However, there was no one in the supermarket.
There are no cashiers, no promoters, and no customers.
Although the lights were on in the supermarket, it gave Lu Chao a very strange feeling.
After approaching the supermarket's glass door, a beep sound came from above, and a red dot kept flashing.
After a few seconds, the red dot turned into a green dot, and the glass door automatically opened.
After hesitating for a while, Lu Chao walked in.
The glass door closed automatically behind him.
"Is anyone?"
Lu Chao walked forward a few steps and then walked back to the glass door. This time, there was no beeping sound coming from above the glass door, but it was automatically opened after sensing Lu Chao.
After confirming that the glass door would open automatically and would not be trapped in the supermarket, Lu Chao continued to walk deeper into the supermarket.
There is also a glass door at the entrance of the supermarket, but it did not open automatically this time.
There is an access control next to it, with a line of prompts written on it: Please swipe the membership card.
Obviously, Lu Chao does not have a membership card for Dimension Supermarket.
Although there was no staff member in the supermarket, Lu Chao did not want to carry out some sabotage activities, such as smashing the glass door and forcibly rushing into the store, looting all the goods inside.
Such a weird supermarket should be dominated by some mysterious force, and rash destruction may lead to serious consequences.
It’s better to abide by the rules first and then explain it after you understand the rules.
After looking around, Lu Chao quickly found the service desk.
The service desk is also empty, but there is a touch-screen self-service terminal.
There are several options on the terminal screen, one of which is to apply for a membership card by yourself.
Lu Chao clicked on the option of self-service card application with his finger.
The process is very simple, and you don’t even need an ID card or a mobile phone number. You just asked Lu Chao to press his fingerprints a few times, illuminate the iris at a hole with a red light, and then took a self-service registration photo. A membership card was spit out of the machine.
The metal card has a smooth surrounding area and feels very good to touch.
The membership number above is: AA0001.
"I'm not the first member of the supermarket, right?" Lu Chao looked at the number and guessed.
Membership rules also pop up on the screen.
The first article says that the supermarket is not allowed to be destroyed, and the goods in the store are not allowed to be taken, otherwise they will be "severely punished". In addition to the text description, there is also a demonstration CG video: Someone tried to smash the glass door of the store, but was shot and killed by a laser gun extending from the ceiling!
Very bloody.
"Luckily, I didn't act rashly before." Lu Chao couldn't help but sweat.
The supermarket is open at nine o'clock in the morning and closed at four o'clock in the afternoon. Non-business hours will be cleared, and any customers who stay in the supermarket during non-business hours will be "cleaned".
There are also some regulations that non-members are not allowed to enter the store, and members have restrictions on the time they stay in the store every day. For example, the accumulated time of LV1 members in the store cannot exceed one hour per day, and the members of LV2 cannot exceed one and a half hours. Each upgrade can only have half an hour of shopping time.
After turning the screen to the last page and seeing the above tips, Lu Chao suddenly became less calm.
"After the supermarket consumption reaches a certain amount, the membership level can be improved."
"After the membership level is upgraded to LV3, you can have a day off for a month, and you can return to the human world for one day in one month."
"LV4 has one day off and can return to the human world for one day in one week."
"LV5 has two-day weekly leave, and membership level has three-day weekly leave."
"After LV10, you can shuttle between both sides."
