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

There was a group of seven or eight people in the villa area. Some people were playing cards at one table, and a few people were sitting on the sofa drinking. The man in the lead was about 40 years old, with a very obvious scar at the corner of his eye.

"Brother Qiang, I saw that the trading center was selling it this afternoon, so I bought it right away. Didn't you tell us to stock up on gasoline a while ago? Lao Hei said that the authorities have been conducting strict inspections recently, and it's difficult to sell energy products on the black market, so I had to bite the bullet and buy it from the trading center."

The collar of the man's shirt was wide open, and one of his eyes was cloudy, obviously necrotic. The scar at the end of his eye seemed to be itchy again, so he couldn't help rubbing it hard with his fingertips.

The man was none other than Yan Qiang. In the previous sudden incident in Zijing Community, he led a few of his younger brothers to successfully escape. Later, he accidentally saved the son of a powerful official and successfully got a job as a senior executive in a base here. This villa was also promised to him by that family.

At present, Yan Qiang has established a hunter team relying on his relationship with the base. They specialize in hunting mutant beasts outside the base and exchange points for the sale of mutant beasts and crystal cores. The people under his command have been recruiting soldiers. In just less than a year, he has more than fifty people under his command.

The villa area is where he and his core members live, while other members live in the "outer circle".

Yan Qiang currently has a lot of guns in his hands, all of which were looted outside the base, and some were obtained through black market transactions.

In addition, Yan Qiang has obtained many privileges by relying on his strong connections with many high-level officials, but he is unwilling to keep a low profile all his life. He is currently gradually developing his own power. Recently, he is planning to package his team into "civilian hunters" with a positive image in order to gain the support of the residents in the base. In two years, the leadership of the base will be replaced, and he may be able to seize the opportunity to move up.

Energy has been in short supply recently, and gasoline and diesel at the trading center have become ridiculously expensive. For example, the two barrels of gasoline that Gu Tongwan sold for 2,400 yuan in the afternoon were now being sold by the trading center for 1,500 yuan per barrel.

Although there are many people who engage in bartering in the base, people's hearts are fickle and many cases of fraud and deception occurred in the early days of the base. As a result, people's trust in each other has gradually been exhausted. They are unwilling to trade scarce goods privately and would rather go through official channels such as trading centers.

Seeing Yan Qiang still smoking, the deputy said, "I have inquired about the source of this gasoline, but the people at the trading center are very tight-lipped and are unwilling to reveal who got it."

"They definitely don't want to tell you. After all, they want to monopolize this energy source." Yan Qiang exhaled a puff of cigarette, then sneered, put his hands on the back of the chair, and asked again: "Only one barrel?"

The deputy touched his nose with an awkward smile, "Another bucket was said to have been given to the guards."

"The guard team is nothing. Didn't you tell me that it was our brother Qiang who wanted it?"

A man with dreadlocks who was playing cards put down the cards in his hand and shouted nonchalantly.

Fearing that this might cause misunderstanding, the deputy immediately explained to Yan Qiang: "Brother Qiang, I told them, but they refused to buy me two barrels. I heard that it was the Hunter who wanted them."

"Hunter..." Yan Qiang chewed on this name which seemed very distant to ordinary people.

The little brother who had been shouting suddenly fell silent. In fact, they had seen the "Hunter". Just a month ago, when they were hunting mutant beasts near "Teng County", they encountered a giant B-level wolf spider that was about to be upgraded. At that time, their group of more than a dozen people could not kill it despite firepower suppression, and instead fell into deep crisis.

At that moment, two members of the hunters, one with a flamethrower and the other with a spear, easily killed the B-level mutant beast and obtained the green crystal core worth at least two thousand points.

The people at the base only knew that the rumored "Hunters" consisted of seven members, one of whom was a woman, but not many people had actually seen them. However, they had heard that all seven of them possessed special skills, especially the captain of the Hunters, who had become famous in a battle in Kyoto and repelled a tide of beasts by himself.

Just as the atmosphere gradually fell silent, the door of the villa was pushed open, and one of the men walked up to Yan Qiang in a hurry and said, "Brother Qiang, our goods were intercepted outside!"
