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

At this moment, a loud thunder suddenly sounded outside the store, and a torrential rain without any warning covered the entire block.

Xiaoli frowned and smacked her lips, "It hasn't rained for a month or so. Today the weather is pretty good. When did the dark clouds come over? Fortunately it's not acid rain, otherwise everyone outside would be covered in sweat."

The base had been hit by two severe acid rains before, so most of the houses in the base are built with corrosion-resistant materials. However, there is currently no effective rain gear that can resist acid rain. Therefore, once acid rain occurs, all outdoor work will be suspended except for the civilian staff working indoors.

Gu Tongwan took a light bite of the sandwich. Although the bread was toasted, it did not have the aroma of butter. The bread was hard in texture, and the meat inside had an indescribable taste. Although it was marinated, it still had a faint smell of mutton. The meat was red in texture, and it was probably the meat of some mutant beast.

"What kind of meat is this?" Gu Tongwan looked at Xiaoli.

Xiaoli didn't expect that she had never eaten mutant meat, so she said, "Wild boar meat, but it's mutant, so the meat is harder, right? Look, it's the wild boar you see on TV now, but this mutant wild boar is smaller. When my uncle brought it back, he said it was only 500 kilograms, and the crystal core hasn't formed yet."

After chatting with Xiaoli for a while, I learned that the current sources of meat supply in the base are two. One is the frozen meat sold daily in the base's meat market. These are all common beef, mutton, pork, and poultry before the apocalypse, but the price is relatively high. Basically, one catty costs twenty points, and ordinary base residents are reluctant to spend nearly a week's points to buy a catty of meat. The other is the mutant animals hunted by civilian hunters or the guard team. It is currently known that except for some senior mutant beasts carrying venom, basically 90% of the mutant beast meat is edible, and the mutant beast meat is cheap, ranging from only ten to twenty points per catty. However, the meat is generally hard and fishy, ​​but this meat is also the most commonly consumed by ordinary residents.

The rain outside didn't seem to be stopping for a while. Gu Tongwan quickly finished his sandwich and took a sip of juice. The juice was slightly sour and tasted a bit like lemon.

After finishing lunch, the proprietress of the guesthouse happened to come back from outside with two bags in her hands. Xiaoli hurried forward to take them.

When she opened the bag, she saw some gray-haired animal carcasses. Xiaoli asked in surprise, "Aunt, where did the gray rabbit come from?"

Gu Tongwan recognized that it was a type of mutant rabbit. She didn't expect that the people in the base were called gray rabbits. She had hunted a lot of this kind of rabbits when the city was empty. There were still dozens of them piled up in the space and she had no time to deal with them.

It was originally piled up in the space with the intention of giving it to Aoao and Tutu as food in the future, but Aoao and Tutu didn't like this kind of rabbit meat, so it has been left idle.

The lady boss smiled and said, "Your uncle Fatty and his men got it from outside the base. They also reportedly hunted a mutant pangolin with a yellow crystal core. They sold this gray rabbit to me at a low price. I got it for 300 points. How do you think?"

Xiaoli was also very happy as she held a gray rabbit weighing at least 30 kilograms in her hand, because the meat of the gray rabbit is the closest to that of animals before the end of the world, and it is also one of the very few meats without any mutton smell, so the price on the market is quite high.

Gu Tongwan was listening on the side, thinking that the batch of gray rabbits in the space might be able to be sold for a good price.

While the proprietress was tidying up her clothes, she noticed that there was a beautiful girl standing next to her. Gu Tongwan smiled at her and then turned and went upstairs.

After everyone left, the proprietress asked, "What a pretty girl, have you just come to stay at our store?"

Xiaoli smiled and said, "Where is that? Isn't she the rich lady driving the car? She was wearing a mask the past few days. Can't you recognize her when we were having dinner today?"

The lady boss immediately looked surprised and asked, "Is it the girl who drove the Land Rover?"

"Yes, she is indeed beautiful, even prettier than Xu Liuzhen. No wonder she has to wear a mask all the time. If someone with ulterior motives sees her face, she will get into trouble."

The security in the outer circle is not good. In addition to robbery incidents, there are also many hooligans. These people often harass single women or young girls. Xiaoli was also harassed when she went to the market to buy vegetables. Fortunately, she happened to meet the Self-Defense Forces patrolling, otherwise she would have been almost attacked.

The public security system in the apocalypse is not perfect, and only the inner circle is equipped with real-time monitoring eyes. Although the area outside the base is not a lawless place, there have been many serious robbery and rape incidents. The crime happens in just a moment, but it is time-consuming and laborious to find the criminal. Most of the cases are left unresolved. For this reason, few girls living alone go out at night, and even if they go out, they try to go to crowded places.

Gu Tongwan thought she had been as low-key as possible. She never wore clothes that were too brightly colored and she always wore a mask. But even so, in the eyes of the proprietress and Xiaoli, what really attracted their attention was her indifferent and elegant temperament, which was different from most people who were in a hurry and had cloudy eyes in the last days.

Because her aunt runs a hotel and her uncle works at the center of the base, she and her aunt have attended several base chamber of commerce dinners and met the most popular folk hunters in the base and several wives of the powerful and influential people in the chamber of commerce. Although there were some beautiful ones, their temperament was far inferior to that of the young lady staying upstairs.

Just as the two were chatting, someone suddenly rushed in with an umbrella. It was a young and beautiful girl. After she put away the umbrella, the dagger on her waist swayed with her movements.

"Aunt Man, I'm glad you're here."

Xiaoli quickly took out a towel and handed it to the girl. The girl smiled and said "thank you". When she smiled, the deep dimples on her cheeks were very endearing.

"Jiang Tian, ​​why are you here in such heavy rain?" Xiaoli asked curiously.

Jiang Tian smiled and said, "I just came back from hunting. I'll bring you something." Then he handed over a bag containing some cut meat.

"It's python meat. I was given ten kilograms of it by the team. I'll give you half of it to try."

The proprietress opened it and saw that the meat was still fresh. She also saw ochre blood stains on Jiang Tian's clothes and asked with concern, "You didn't get hurt while carrying out the mission this time, did you?"

Jiang Tian shook her head and wiped her face with a towel: "No, Captain Yi takes good care of me."

Jiang Tian and Xiao Li met after entering the base, and became close sisters who could talk about anything. The proprietress knew that Jiang Tian and her brother were now civilian hunters, and seemed to have recently signed up with a hunter organization. It seemed that the team leader was Zhang He, a famous hunter in the base, who once killed a B-level mutant tiger alone and made a name for himself in the base.

Let’s not talk about Jiang Chi first. The fact that Jiang Tian was successfully signed into Zhang He’s team is enough to show the girl’s strength.

Xiao Li seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Tian's arm and asked, "Jiang Tian, ​​you're not going to participate in the hunting meeting next week, are you?"

Jiang Dian nodded, still smiling sweetly, "I will participate. After all, the reward is very high."

"So will your team be able to broadcast live?"

"I think so. The captain said it's a good opportunity to promote it to the team."

Xiaoli pointed to a pretty figure that happened to appear on the TV screen and said, "Xu Liuzhen will also be attending."

When Jiang Tian heard the name, her originally sweet face turned cold.
