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

Chapter 203: Acquaintances, not afraid of being "slaughtered"

Liu Jinde was stunned for a moment, because the girl opposite him covered her face tightly, and he really didn't have much impression of the person in front of him for a while, but he was somewhat familiar with the voice. He searched his mind but couldn't figure it out.

In fact, it’s no wonder that Liu Jinde had no impression of her. After all, the two hadn’t seen each other for more than a year since Xiaoxi Village.

Until Gu Tongwan took off her mask, revealing that beautiful face that was hard to forget.

"Xiao Wan?"

Liu Jinde was so excited that he took several steps forward, calling out her name with a trembling mouth.

His eyes suddenly warmed up, Liu Jinde looked her up and down, and finally nodded and said, "That's great, you're okay."

After the earthquake, Zhang Youfan and his son tried to find her in the county town, but unfortunately everyone was injured at that time, and the entire county town had become a ruin. A large area of ​​ground depression divided the entire county town into two halves, directly blocking everyone.

In addition, everyone was worried about the family members in Xiaoxi Village, so they planned to rush back first, and after making sure that Xiaoxi Village was fine, they would organize people to search for Gu Tongwan's whereabouts.

Xiaoxi Village escaped the earthquake at first. By the time Zhang Youfan had organized people to return to the county town, several aftershocks occurred. The only winding mountain road leading to the county town was also submerged in mud and rocks. Subsequently, acid rains occurred several times in succession, so everyone had to completely abandon the search and rescue plan.

Although Zhang Youfan and his son saw Gu Tongwan fall into the collapsed black hole with their own eyes, they always believed that Gu Tongwan was a lucky person and that she would not easily succumb to the natural disaster. For this reason, even after entering the base, they kept asking for news about her. After all, she had always insisted on building her own house in the base, and they were even more convinced that if she was alive, she would definitely enter the base.

Hearing this, Gu Tongwan felt warm in her heart. After all, she had lived in Xiaoxi Village for more than half a year. Most of the villagers were enthusiastic and kind. Even in the end times, everyone still helped each other. It was not like in her previous life where only human feelings were left cold and fickle.

After a brief chat, I learned from Liu Jinde that Zhang Youfan's family currently lives in the inner circle living area, but the place they live in is the lowest grade. There are dozens of buildings in the living area, and the ones closer to the inner circle are basically occupied by relatives of the base leaders or dignitaries.

Even so, Liu Jinde still felt that they were very lucky. After all, life outside the base was even more difficult. Even when he went out to purchase goods in the outer circle, he met those pale and thin residents. He even felt that the light in their eyes had been wiped out by reality.

"My sister and brother-in-law will definitely be very happy to know you are here. I'll call them now." Liu Jinde said as he took out his cell phone to call Zhang Youfan and his wife, but was persuaded by Gu Tongwan.

"Master Liu, it's getting late. Let's go tomorrow. I'll go over there at noon. If you have their phone number, give it to me."

Liu Jinde just remembered that he had to go with Gu Tongwan to check out the location of the house in a while, and he slapped his head awkwardly, "Oh, I was so happy that I forgot about it. There is no rush to reminisce about the past. Your house is more important. After all, it is not cheap to rent a house or stay in a guesthouse outside. Don't worry, I will find my friends tonight and make sure to build a house for you quickly."

"Of course I trust your words, but you can park your car in my trunk and I'll take you there. It's nearby and will be there in 20 minutes."

Originally Liu Jinde wanted to decline, but when he saw Gu Tongwan had already jumped into the driver's seat, and he looked down at the bicycle he was pushing, he finally put the bicycle at the back embarrassedly.

Liu Jinde was not the kind of person who liked to do good things. Although he was curious about where Gu Tongwan had been for the past year, seeing that she was driving such a nice car and even had all the building materials for building a house ready, he guessed in his heart that at least she would not be bullied at the base.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the outskirts of the yard. Liu Jinde walked around the yard, and when he entered the yard, he was still shocked by the batch of building materials piled up inside and was speechless.

After entering the base, he helped many powerful families build small Western-style buildings, or renovated independent courtyards for some wealthy people, but most of the building materials he obtained were leftovers from the end of the world, and could not be considered particularly high-end materials. Unless they were directly transported from the base's research institute, they could only be described as "scraps."

After all, most of the good materials were originally used to build some office areas and research institutes within the base, and the rest were invested in the construction of buildings throughout the base. If individuals wanted to build or repair houses, they could only entrust civilian hunters to search outside the base. However, after the influence of floods and acid rain, most of the building materials were corroded to a certain extent.

But the materials in Gu Tongwan's yard are not only of good quality, but also of the best quality, which of course will make Liu Jinde amazed again and again.

"Xiao Wan, are you only planning to build one floor?" Liu Jinde looked at the materials all over the floor and thought that a two-story building would not be a problem. He could buy some cheap cement from the trading center later, and the steel bars would be just enough for two floors.

Gu Tongwan pursed her lips and looked at the yard. In fact, she had thought about building two floors at the beginning, but at that time she was worried that having too many building materials in her hands would easily arouse other people's covetousness and suspicion. Secondly, she did not trust the unfamiliar construction team and did not want to be targeted.

But if the construction team is familiar with Xiaoxi Village, perhaps they will have fewer concerns, and they will not be afraid of being set up as a "pig-killing scheme".

"Will it take too much time if there are two floors?"

She seemed to be more concerned about time than labor prices and building materials costs.

Liu Jinde grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "It's not a big deal. We've worked at a faster pace than this before, working more than ten hours a day, and we can complete a small villa in half a month. For yours, we brothers won't take a day off, and will work twelve hours a day. Five of us can definitely finish it in twenty days. But the interior decoration may take another two or three days, after all, we still need to customize some glass windows and doorways."

Liu Jinde was more concerned about her house building than her own. He smiled and said, "If you think the price is not right, we can still discuss it. You helped us all in Xiaoxi Village before. We have to help you build the house even if it's free."

"Master Liu, I'm very grateful that you can come and help me build the house. Let's do this. I'll build two floors as you said. As for the doors and windows, I'll find a way to get them myself. I'll just have to trouble you and a few other masters afterwards."

Although they were acquaintances, Gu Tongwan did not intend to bargain. Assuming each person worked ten hours a day and paid 225 points a day, the five people would pay points a day. The house would be built within a month, and with the subsequent interior renovations, the total would not exceed points.

Although there are not many points left on the card, she has already thought about going to the "black market" outside the base to find profit channels in the near future. After all, there is still a backlog of goods in the space. She can't eat all those fruits by herself in her lifetime, and the black soil is still in mass production. If she can sell them, it will be an income.

After finalizing the start time, she paid 500 points as a deposit on the spot and could start work tomorrow. The wages would be settled the next morning, and would be paid once a day.

It was already past seven in the evening when she returned to the guesthouse. The landlady finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her back, fearing that she would be targeted again because of what happened last time.

She exchanged her cell phone number with the boss's wife's. Xiaoli, who had just finished taking a shower, came down from upstairs and saw her cell phone. She was immediately envious.

"Xiao Wan, did you buy a cell phone?"

Xiaoli's cell phone was lost before the end of the world. At that time, she didn't even have time to eat, so how could she remember her cell phone? Later, when she entered the base, the proprietress was worried that her habit of running around would not change, so she spent a thousand points to buy her this second-hand phone on the black market.

When the store is not busy, Xiaoli uses this phone to surf the Internet at night. She just goes to the forum to see what has happened recently. She even joins a chat group of 500 people in the base, or chats with her friends. It costs nearly 100 points of data traffic fees every month, which makes the boss's wife heartbroken several times.

“The mobile phones I had before were not bought.” Gu Tongwan chuckled.

Xiaoli had a smile in her eyes. Anyway, it was no surprise if she took out any rare things now. In her eyes, Gu Tongwan was a real "white, rich and beautiful" woman. Not only did she have a mysterious background, she also had strength. More importantly, she was extremely beautiful.

Gu Tongwan did not forget to ask the proprietress about one thing, which was the details of the "black market".
