Xu Liuzhen spread all kinds of rumors in the base some time ago, saying that a popular new hunter was privately harassing her. Although she did not mention any names, in fact, everyone in the hunter circle was saying that the person was Jiang Zhi.

After all, some time ago someone took a picture of Xu Liuzhen and Jiang Chi sitting together and talking at an official event, and later it was reported that the two had been in and out of a hotel.

Even in the end times, the entertainment journalist industry is still surviving strongly, and the gossip spirit in people's hearts will always remain. As long as there is a market, this industry will develop with the momentum of "wildfire cannot be extinguished, and spring breeze will blow it back to life."

However, the truth is that Xu Liuzhen used the beauty trick to deliberately get close to Jiang Zhi, wanting to recruit Jiang Zhi to their team. Unfortunately, Jiang Zhi ignored her at all. Xu Liuzhen was worried that the news of being dumped would get out, so she spread rumors first, and bribed entertainment reporters in advance to take pictures of the two of them staying in the same hotel to create all kinds of "coincidences" between the two of them, causing the scandal between the two to become more and more intense. Countless people in the base were speculating whether the two were dating. Faced with such a scheming woman, Jiang Tian naturally hated Xu Liuzhen.

As an insider, Xiao Li saw her friend's indignant look and asked cautiously, "Then you have to be careful. I heard that Xu Liuzhen's team recently recruited a group of new hunters, all of whom are C-level. In addition, Xu Liuzhen herself is ranked relatively high among C-level hunters. She is not a character that can be easily dealt with."

Before the apocalypse, Xu Liuzhen was a fitness coach. After the apocalypse, she gradually discovered that her body functions were far superior to those of ordinary people. Later, she gradually discovered that she could control the wind. Although it is not the kind of miraculous skill in novels that can call the wind and rain, she can also change the surrounding wind in a small range. Combined with the results of her training, she can easily deal with mutant beasts below level D by herself, and she is considered a leader among the already extremely small number of female hunters.

That’s right, in fact, in this world, to be precise, the profession of “hunter” appeared in the second year of the apocalypse.

"Hunters" refer to humans who have certain skills and strength and can deal with mutant beasts on their own. Most of them have physical fitness that exceeds that of ordinary people, and even have mutated different superpowers.

Gu Tongwan knew about the existence of "hunters", but in her previous life, this profession only appeared in the fifth year of the apocalypse, and there were very few people with superpowers. At least she had never seen them outside the base. However, she had seen a mercenary who could kill an ordinary mutant beast with one hand. Perhaps the mercenaries at that time had superpowers themselves, but chose to hide them for fear of being discovered.

So far, Gu Tongwan has not encountered a person with superpowers, but he has two mutant beasts with superpowers around him.

Animals have already developed superpowers, let alone humans who are struggling to survive in the apocalypse.

Thinking of this, Gu Tongwan glanced at the back of his left hand. Under the light, he saw a very thin red line flowing under the blue blood vessels.

I don't know if the blood vines in my body can be considered a kind of supernatural power.

Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, the blood vine on the back of her hand suddenly emerged, revealing a very thin red line. If you look closely, you can see some branches and leaves on it. After emerging, it even touched her cheek affectionately.

Is this a friendly gesture?

Gu Tongwan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and touched the leaf that was no bigger than a fingernail with his fingertips. The small vine immediately trembled and swayed left and right. After a while, it excitedly shook and wrapped around Gu Tongwan's entire wrist.

Now she is no longer afraid of the blood vine, because apart from making her body a little more bloodthirsty once or twice a month, it does not bring any side effects to her, and it can also be used as a weapon for self-protection at critical moments. Just as the system said, the blood vine has recognized her as its host, and her relationship with it can be said to be one of shared success and shared failure.

Moreover, the blood vine is extremely protective of its master and has a strong sense of threats. With it around, Gu Tongwan can know the danger level of the surrounding environment in advance, making it a good helper.

In the corner, Aoao and Tutu looked a little listless. They couldn't run around and play for a while, and they were almost going crazy.

Gu Tongwan stroked the dog's head and chuckled, "Just bear with it for a while, I'll take you out hunting tomorrow morning."

Aoao immediately opened his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and wagged his tail happily.

Tutu just raised his eyelids slightly, pretended to yawn and continued to sleep.

It rained heavily this time, but fortunately it seemed to be just an ordinary heavy rain. It gradually became lighter from noon to five in the afternoon. In the yard, the proprietress was busy asking two waiters to clear the drainage pipes.

Gu Tongwan put on a mask and went downstairs to drive. She was going to the rental center to rent a pickup truck in advance for tomorrow.

I first went to the trading center to exchange five kilograms of black rice for 125 points, and then went to the rental center next door to inquire about car rental matters.

For car rental, only pickup trucks and vans are available. After all, good cars are private property, and most people are unwilling to put them in rental centers to make money for fear of damaging the car. Pickup trucks and vans are the most commonly used, and they are a batch of water-soaked cars that were pulled back from nearby factories for repair after natural disasters.

The rental fee for a large pickup truck is 100 points per day, while the rental fee for a medium and small pickup truck is 70 and 50 points per day.

In fact, this price is already so high that ordinary people cannot afford it. After all, you should know that the monthly rent for the outer circle’s quarantine centers is only 50 points, and ordinary rental is only about 150 to 200 points.

Gu Tongwan directly rented a large pickup truck. He did not need to show his driver's license here, because if the car was damaged, compensation would be required, and the points would be directly deducted from the touring. If the points were not enough, the base would arrange corresponding work for the person who rented the car to repay on his behalf. Anyone who tried to default on the debt would be kicked out of the base.

Fortunately, no deposit is required for renting a car, otherwise after she paid the rental fee, there would be less than 35 points left on the card.

The car only has one liter of gasoline in it, and one needs to spend extra points to buy more gasoline. Gasoline is expensive, selling for 45 points per liter, which is unaffordable for normal people.

When Gu Tongwan finished the formalities and came out, the staff had just gotten off work. She drove back swiftly and returned to the guesthouse before it was dark and there were no robbers on the road.

***

Early the next morning, Gu Tongwan took the hotel's car to the market and set off for the trading center.
