Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The unfinished house that Yu Liang introduced is less than a hundred meters away from the villa area, across a small street. It is an unfinished house with a yard and an area of ​​230 square meters.

The main reason why it is called an unfinished building is that the outer wall has been built and the foundation of the house inside has been laid, but the one-story building was only half built and then abandoned. At first glance, it looks like an unfinished building that was only half built and then abandoned.

This house has a good geographical location. Because it is adjacent to a villa area, the security is very strict. There is also a two-story villa built by someone else about a hundred meters away. However, because the land and building materials are expensive, those who can really build their own houses are basically a very small number of dignitaries who do not like to live in villa areas but want to design their own houses.

Many people have come to see this house before, but most of them were discouraged by the high land price. According to Yu Liang, it would take about 20,000 base points to buy this piece of land with a yard. If you want to buy building materials at the trading center, you not only need to make reservations in advance, but you also need to spend another 20,000 points to buy them. The labor cost is also frighteningly expensive. In the later stage, it is also a high cost to pull wires and dig water channels by yourself. Add all these together, ordinary people really cannot afford it if they don't have a wealthy family background.

The house has been left here for nearly half a year and has not been sold, but if it is demolished, half of the building materials will be wasted, so it is simply left here.

Gu Tongwan walked around the wall and observed the nearby geographical environment. The land here is open, about two kilometers away from the base's commercial street, and is located in the inner circle of the base. Even if the base is affected by a beast tide or other factors one day, the innermost circle is the safest.

Currently, the base is divided into the so-called "inner circle" and "outer circle".

The "outer circle" is far away from the center of the base. It is the closest to the city wall and is where ordinary residents live. However, it covers a large area, approximately two-thirds of the area of ​​the base. It currently has a population of 200,000. The "inner circle" has a population of less than 100,000, but basically all of them can afford the high rent, or are where some upper-class people and dignitaries live. The dignitaries, in particular, live in the inner circle with the most comprehensive security. It is less than five kilometers away from the Self-Defense Forces and is only two blocks away from the guard's dormitory.

Gu Tongwan was of course satisfied with this place. There were even plants nearby that could not be seen outside the base.

According to Yu Liang, the plants that can be seen in the inner circle have no possibility of mutation. This was discovered after studying the growth patterns of plants. Plants that can mutate will basically be different in size and appearance from before the end of the world, while plants that are no different from before the end of the world have not been affected by natural disasters.

For example, she could see that the walls of the villa area in front were covered with ivy, but this was different from the ivy she had seen before that could devour city blocks. The size of the ivy here was no different from before the apocalypse, and the blood vines did not react, which meant that these plants were safe.

In addition to ivy, there are also many holly trees and jackfruits planted nearby, and even a few bodhi trees can be seen.

It is rare to see normal plants in the apocalypse, not to mention that there are quite a few planted in the inner circle. No wonder Yu Liang couldn't help but sigh that he could never afford it in his lifetime when he mentioned the housing prices in the inner circle.

Since Gu Tongwan was holding a land certificate that had been stamped by the base, he could freely choose the land he wanted according to the regulations above.

However, because the land she chose was relatively expensive, Yu Liang tactfully suggested that she might need to pay some extra difference.

The price is not high though, it will cost about 5,000 points.

She has a lot of things in her space, but she can't take them to the trading center so blatantly. The way to gain points and least arouse suspicion is to exchange them for crystal cores.

Perhaps worried that she didn't have enough points, Yu Liang quickly said, "We can pay in installments. It can be divided into twelve installments."

Gu Tongwan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the installment payment method was still implemented in the apocalypse. This also indirectly proved that land was indeed not something that ordinary people could buy.

After quickly finalizing the matters with Yu Liang, Gu Tongwan went back to the trading center with Yu Liang to sign the contract.

After finishing all these, it was almost time for the trading center to close, so Gu Tongwan told Yu Liang to go to the trading center first.

This time after she returned to the car, she thought about it and decided to just take out two 40L barrels of gasoline to exchange for points.

Although there are not many people who can drive in the last days, those who can afford to drive always have channels to get gasoline, and the trading center only recognizes the goods but not the people, so they don’t have to worry about leaving behind any tails.

She looked at the points redemption manual yesterday and found that one liter of gasoline could be exchanged for 30 points, and her two barrels of gasoline could be exchanged for 2,400 points.

The redemption process went very smoothly. After the person in charge of the appraisal confirmed that the gasoline was fine, he immediately recharged her card with the corresponding points.

Although the staff at the front desk were surprised that she could take out so much gasoline, they could not ask the customer too many questions according to the rules. They just looked at her with curiosity from time to time.

After returning to Yu Liang, she paid 2,000 points first, and planned to repay the remaining 3,000 points in three installments. She also paid a handling fee of 20 points.

Before leaving, he asked Yu Liang some questions about the crystal core.

Yu Liang was immersed in the joy of receiving this month's commission because he sold a house, so he smiled and said, "Crystal cores are usually hunted outside the base. Experienced people will catch mutants about ten kilometers outside the base. Crystal cores can only rely on luck. Not all mutants have crystal cores. However... it is said that experienced old hunters will go to 'Teng County' about thirty kilometers away from the restricted area to hunt. There are many types of mutants there, and there are also mutant species. They are all high-level mutants. Basically, they have crystal cores in their bodies, but most people dare not go there. After all, the risk is too great."

After a pause, he glanced at Gu Tongwan again, worried that she would really take risks for those thousands of points, so he said solemnly: "Miss Gu, that place is a place that even the guards dare not take risks easily. I think you can actually divide the remaining amount into twelve installments and pay it back slowly every month."

Gu Tong understood the other party's concerns, but he just smiled faintly and asked, "I saw a wall in the trading center with a recruitment column. Can I post short-term recruitment information there?"

Yu Liang was not annoyed by being diverted from the topic, and answered truthfully: "Yes, generally customers who want to find short-term work spend five points to post information on it. The trading center can keep it for ten days, and then replace it with a new job after ten days."

Gu Tongwan thought that she would not be able to build a house by herself in the future. Besides, she had never built a house before, so she would definitely have to find an experienced construction team, and she would probably have to post recruitment information by then.

She asked Yu Liang some questions about the cost of building materials and inquired about the location of "Teng County" before leaving the second floor of the trading center.

In the evening, I drove to the same guesthouse as yesterday. This time I planned to stay there for half a month. I could only stay in the guesthouse until the house was built.

The receptionist was the same one from yesterday, smiling as he introduced, "300 points for half a month. If you need three meals a day, we also have a set meal. Breakfast is 80 points for half a month, lunch is 120, and dinner is 150. If you need three meals a day, you can get a discount, 280 points for half a month."

In order to avoid arousing suspicion and also to know the current food situation at the base, Gu Tongwan only chose lunch and paid a total of 420 points. He still carried his backpack and stayed in a single room with his two dogs.

However, this time her single room was replaced with a wider one than the previous ones, which was estimated to be about 12 square meters, so it would not be so crowded for Aoao and Tutu to stay together.

This room also has a window, which faces the small yard where the car was parked before. There is a chandelier hanging in the yard at night, and the light is very dim, making the shadow of a banyan tree next to it look eerie.

The guesthouse is just like a residential building, with water and electricity only available in the morning and evening. However, the guesthouse provides hot water for half an hour from 7:30 to 8:00, but the water volume is smaller and it takes ten minutes to get half a basin of water.

Gu Tongwan simply went into the space and took a shower. After the shower, he opened the window and the breeze blew in from the window. The weather was neither cold nor hot, so it was just right to stand by the window and enjoy the breeze.

At this time, there is only one LED solar lamp in the room. After being charged during the day, it can provide power at night, but if you want to use other electrical appliances, they are only available between seven and eight o'clock.

However, the most commonly used electrical appliances she could see in the base were only radios and televisions. The televisions seemed to be able to only watch satellite channels transmitted from the base, and the content they watched was real-time broadcasts of the Self-Defense Forces and the Guard's safety production and hunting reports.

It is said that the current network and satellite channels in the base can cover an area within 100 kilometers, so most of the time the images are broadcast in real time.

However, what surprised Gu Tongwan the most was that there were celebrities in the base, and one channel was even broadcasting footage of the celebrity being interviewed.

However, the stars in the base are not the traffic stars before the end of the world, but the "civilian hunters" who have attracted the attention of countless people because of their live broadcast hunting operations.

In the end times, there appeared many civilian hunters who were extremely capable and strong, specializing in hunting mutant beasts.

Some people sensed the development prospects of this industry, so they used cameras or mobile phones to record videos. Those who were capable could even broadcast the hunting scenes in real time. In the boring apocalypse, this kind of broadcast content has become spiritual food for ordinary people. Many people even gathered in shops or squares with TVs at night to watch.

The base also happens to need hunters who can inspire people with a positive image, so it is happy with the development of civilian hunters.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Gu Tongwan simply took out a bowl of hot and sour noodles. There was no one in the two rooms next to her, so she didn't worry about the smell spreading.

After eating, I took out my tablet to check the map. According to the map before the apocalypse, Teng County was indeed 30 kilometers southeast of the original Xiaoxi Village, which is now the base, and can be reached in less than 40 minutes by car.

Although Yu Liang said that it was very dangerous over there, Gu Tongwan still wanted to go and see the situation over there, and hunt mutant beasts to obtain crystal cores.

Inner Villa Area

A man with a cigarette in his mouth took one of the gas tanks and sniffed it. It smelled like pure gasoline, which was better than the stuff he usually got from acquaintances. So he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did you get it?"
