However, after listening, Little Stone's expression suddenly relaxed, and she gave Vechita a smile that both of them understood.
"Nice, you still have a way."
Little Stone had been Vechita's accomplice even before the apocalypse, assisting her in countless scams, so how could she possibly be angry about this?
The two looked at each other.
'Hehehe,' cunning smiles filled their faces, completely oblivious to Shawn, who had been observing them.
Shawn watched them as they moved the car to the loading dock at the back of the supermarket, and loaded their own belongings, some food, and water.
The two sisters were busy for half the night, filling half a car compartment.
At this point, Shawn knew it was time to play a trick on them.
He heard the modified car door close with a 'bang' from behind, and Vechita even patted the back of the fire truck, looking increasingly satisfied with it.
However, the next second, the fire truck suddenly roared to life with a 'boom,' accelerating with great power right from the start, and quickly disappeared from the stunned sisters' sight.
Little Stone opened her mouth wide: "What just happened?"
Vechita spoke with some uncertainty: "Were we… robbed?"
The fire truck gradually moved away, leaving the two sisters standing in the cold wind, bewildered.
In the car, Shawn couldn't help but laugh out loud, slapping his thighs.
This was because he had just seen the two sisters' still-uncomprehending expressions in the rearview mirror, seeing them standing there, looking utterly bewildered.
Just recalling this scene made Shawn want to laugh.
Scamming people out there every day, they never expected to be robbed themselves one day, did they?
They had even loaded their own supplies and food, and all their belongings were now in the back compartment of the fire truck.
"It was worth it, worth it, it wasn't in vain that I waited in the back for half the night."
Of course, Shawn didn't drive too far; he was still thinking about the large quantity of supplies in the supermarket.
Stopping by the roadside, Shawn ran head-on into Daryl and his group, who had been tracking him along the way.
Getting out of the car to greet them, Shawn explained the entire situation, and after listening, Tallahassee immediately burst into hearty laughter.
"You mean, one of those sisters wears tight jeans with a ponytail and smoky eye makeup; the other is called Little Stone, and her height is just above the waist?"
"Hahaha, they deserve it!"
Columbus's eyes flickered beside him, clearly thinking the same thing as Tallahassee.
However, just thinking about how the two sisters had tricked him twice, his expression became a little sour.
He had offered sincerity for sincerity, but he didn't expect Vechita to play mind games with him; this incident was also typical of Vechita's usual style.
As a result, Columbus still found it hard to believe that Shawn had actually used their own methods to trick them.
It wasn't until Shawn opened the back compartment of the red overlord and Columbus personally saw the gun bag that the two of them had lost to the sisters not long ago, that he completely believed Shawn's words.
Looking at the half-filled car compartment of supplies, which included weapons, food, water, snacks, and even sanitary napkins, an invisible surge of anger welled up from Columbus's heart.
"They clearly have so many supplies, yet they kept trying to trick things out of our hands?"
This was the first time Columbus felt angry, and also the first time Columbus, like a true man, angrily rebuked the two sisters.
"I told you that from the beginning," Tallahassee shrugged.
But this time, he uncharacteristically did not mock Columbus.
Firstly, because Tallahassee himself had been tricked before.
Secondly, in Tallahassee's view, the two of them should be on the same side now; he no longer felt the initial rejection towards Columbus.
"Let's go back; I want to teach them a lesson."
Tallahassee was inherently short-tempered; he felt uncomfortable if he didn't kill Walkers for a day. Now that he had finally encountered the two sisters, he absolutely didn't want to let them go.
Shawn did not object.
Driving the car away was originally just to play a trick on them, to let Vechita and Little Stone also experience the taste of having their resources stolen.
If Shawn had wanted to, he could have instantly gotten out of the car and subdued them, even if they might have had guns nearby.
The group, led by Shawn, returned to the supermarket.
The moment he saw the supermarket, Tallahassee spoke almost through gritted teeth.
"If I want to tear them to shreds later, please don't stop me."
Originally, Tallahassee and Columbus had their car, weapons, and resources stolen, forcing them to wander by the roadside, risking their lives to flag down cars.
In contrast, the two sisters, after stealing their car, drove all the way to South Carolina and found such an excellent place to survive.
Comparing people, it's infuriating.
Daryl, beside him, ignored Tallahassee, who was blinded by rage, and slowly moved closer to Shawn.
He glanced at the supermarket, then at Shawn, and spoke.
"If we can find a way to bring these supplies back to Prison, even if the population expands tenfold in the future, it will last for several years."
The moment he saw the supplies, Daryl's first thought was of the people at Prison and how to utilize them effectively.
"That's precisely why I brought you all here," Shawn responded.
But in fact, he had been thinking about how to take all the supplies from the entire supermarket right under everyone's noses.
The group got into the car and slowly approached the supermarket.
However, the imagined traps did not appear, and even the Vechita sisters, who had been in the supermarket not long ago, were gone.
"They're as cunning as monkeys. Once you knew their location, they must have already run away."
Tallahassee casually grabbed a bag of potato chips and, without checking if they were expired, directly stuffed them into his mouth.
"They'd be willing to abandon so many supplies?" Merle raised an eyebrow, somewhat incredulous.
After all, if it were him, he would definitely cling to this place stubbornly.
As the first discoverer, a share of these supplies was his; at worst, it would be a mutual destruction, who was afraid of whom?
"That's where they're smart," Columbus suddenly spoke.
"Vechita can scam for a tiny bit of supplies, and she can also decisively abandon this entire 'gold mountain'."
"Their goal has always been to survive better, so survival has always been their primary objective."
Hearing Columbus's words, Shawn nodded secretly.
He picked up a blue and white hard card from the ground and opened it to reveal a printed message.
"business hours are limited (limited-time operation)"
A badge was printed on the top left corner of the hard card's outer shell, corresponding to the symbol on the supermarket's outdoor sign.
'This is a newly opened supermarket, so that's it.'
Shawn finally understood why the two sisters were able to clear out the Walkers from the supermarket and occupy the entire place.
The reason was that there weren't many people in the supermarket to begin with, or rather, people hadn't had a chance to enter yet.
A trial-run, membership-based supermarket, using limited-time operation to collect customer opinions and suggestions before its official opening.
But unexpectedly, the members hadn't arrived yet, and the apocalypse came instead.
Although the supermarket didn't open, it was already filled with all sorts of supplies.
