Gu Tongwan drove a car full of steel bars, cement and building materials directly back to the inner circle. When she passed the inner circle sentry post, she was checked again without exception. After confirming that there was no problem with the items in her car, the rest was just the shock of the sentry's self-defense forces.

These days, she is the first person who can drive a truck full of steel bars and cement around the base.

At this time, Gu Tongwan didn't know that her image in the Self-Defense Forces had changed from "someone with a small background" to "a rich woman in the base". She was even more certain that she must be the daughter of some powerful family, but she was just low-key and didn't want to use her family background.

I still remember that when a few powerful people wanted to expand their own villas, they hired a group of 20 hunters from the "black market" to escort a batch of cement building materials. They were afraid that someone would get jealous and get robbed outside the base.

It was not easy for her, a woman, to survive in the apocalypse. Now she was able to bring goods back from outside the base safely. It was hard not to attract attention.

Although the Self-Defense Forces could know her identity through name tag recognition, they did not have the authority to do so. Personal information within the base is considered private, and the Self-Defense Forces have no right to conduct a thorough check of household registration unless it involves some special tasks or criminal cases.

However, the Self-Defense Force members on duty that night immediately had something to talk about after dinner.

Gu Tongwan pulled the first batch of building materials directly into the yard, which immediately occupied half of the entire yard. She took out warning tape and surrounded the outer circle to serve as a reminder.

As for whether it is safe to store the building materials here, she observed for a few days and found that it is basically safe here. It is close to the villa area, and there is a security department patrolling in three shifts. Occasionally, there are Self-Defense Force members patrolling at night in three-wheeled motorcycles.

There are cameras here all day long, and the surveillance camera closest to the yard is installed on the opposite wall 20 meters away.

She found that her yard faced a three-story villa in front of her, with white walls and red tiles. The most special thing was that only this three-story villa had its exterior walls covered with normal-sized ivy.

For three consecutive days she ran to the building materials factory to bring back the materials, but in fact the materials the factory could use were limited, especially the soaked mud and cement. Although they could still be used to build a house, the quality would not be very good, so Gu Tongwan directly took out half of the cement and sand from her own space; not too much steel was needed, because the foundation had already been laid by the owner, so all she needed to do was to build the walls and the roof.

Since she had decided to build a house, she wanted to build it thoroughly. The entire house had to be covered with anti-corrosion materials, especially the roof, which had to be made of the special acid-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating material purchased before the end of the world, to prevent the house from being corroded when acid rain comes again in the future.

In fact, the base trading center sells anti-corrosion building materials. The best quality ones can be sold at high prices, and the cost of building a house can even far exceed the price of purchasing the land.

For several days in a row, they went out at nine in the morning and returned with a full load in the evening. The members of the Self-Defense Force on duty even became curious. Could it be that the building materials factory was not very dangerous?

However, the base safety manual clearly classifies the building materials factory as a level three disaster danger area and the restricted area as a level five disaster area.

Currently, the safety manual indicates that the area within 300 kilometers around the entire base can be divided into disaster areas of level one to level five.

Normally, in a level one disaster area, it is not a big problem for ordinary hunters to enter. In a level two disaster area, you need to be careful about attacks from mutant beasts. A level three disaster area requires a professional hunter team. In level four and level five disaster areas, only elite members of the guard team sent by the base and equipped with corresponding firepower weapons can enter.

On the third day, at the same time, when the pickup truck that seemed to be about to fall apart drove over from the moat again, a young member of the Self-Defense Forces couldn't help but ask, "Beautiful lady, you've been back from the past few days in a row, are you really okay?"

Gu Tongwan still used the same rhetoric.

"Ah, maybe I was lucky, so I didn't encounter any burning, killing or looting along the way."

Tutu, who was squatting on a pile of cement bags on the pickup truck, yawned, with some dried blood stains at the corners of his mouth.

Just now I met a few people looking for death on the road, and they were torn to pieces by its bite.

In the past few days, he has encountered some robbers on the road, and even some people who use the elderly, the weak, women and children to set traps on the road, but most of them were discovered by Gu Tongwan.

In the apocalypse, most of the children outside the base have lost their innocence. Their eyes, which should have been clear, are filled with interests and calculations, and their methods of hurting others are even more cruel than those of adults.

In her previous life, she once saw a child of about ten years old deliberately luring kind-hearted passers-by into the gang's lair. When the man's wife begged him desperately, he just showed a mouthful of peeling teeth and a gloomy smile, "If I let you go, I will have to starve tonight, Auntie, you are unlucky. You see, you are already an adult, and you have lived enough. The opportunity should be left to us." As he said this, he handed the stick to the man behind him indifferently, and watched the woman fall beside her husband with numb and turbid eyes.

There is also a poor old man who pretends to be sick and finally forces a pregnant woman to death because of a steamed bun, and then shouts that the baby in her belly should not be born.

Human nature in the end times cannot stand the test at all. The best outcome is not to trust anyone but yourself.

She never thought of braking for someone who blocked her road, even for a brief moment.

She is indeed indifferent. This indifference is selfish and egoistic, but it is indeed the rule of survival for most people in the end times. There is nothing wrong with selfless love and the overflowing goodness of the Virgin Mary, but it is not applicable to such troubled times and may even drag down others.

Those people didn't expect that Gu Tongwan would run over him directly. Those who were planning to commit carjacking were so scared that they got up and rolled down the slope in a panic.

There were also some who relied on the weapons in their hands (except for some criminal gangs outside the base, most of the people used cold weapons), holding shovels or scrap steel bars, as well as homemade slingshots and other weapons, and smashed the passing cars.

Fortunately, Gu Tongwan was driving very fast, and those people only failed to catch up with him with their legs. However, the two dogs who had been running wildly behind him were not polite. Their true natures were exposed in the building materials factory during this period, and they completely released their beastly natures. Several people who tried to rob him died directly under the fangs of the two dogs.

After pulling the last truckload of materials back to the yard, he ran to the nearest patrolling Self-Defense Force sentry booth and gave the other party two packs of cigarettes. Although not much, cigarettes were only available to some privileged and wealthy people in the base.

The reason why I gave the things to the Self-Defense Forces was that I hoped they would pay more attention to this area when they patrolled these days. After all, there are still some concerns about the building materials for a yard.

I arrived at the rental center on time at six o'clock to hand over the car, and finally had to walk back to the guesthouse. As soon as I got back, I heard a noise coming from the backyard. Then I saw three or four men standing in the yard, and the proprietress was standing on her SUV with her hands on her hips.
