Chapter 251

Gu Tongwan parked his car outside the yard. At this time, Liu Jinde was standing in the yard looking at the roof completion, and others were measuring the window sizes. The doors and windows to be made in the future would have to be made according to this size.

After hearing the noise, Liu Jinde walked out and saw Gu Tongwan, whom he hadn't seen for a while. A happy smile appeared on his face.

"Doctor Gu, you're here?" Liu Jinde had recognized Gu Tongwan on TV before, so he quickly whispered, "Doctor Gu, is that really you on TV?"

Although the video of killing Haidongqing on the Internet has been deleted, anyone who knows her and has watched the live broadcast that day should already know about it. She herself does not want to deny it. Since her strength has been exposed, she might as well admit it openly. Anyway, it’s okay as long as the space is not exposed.

"It's me." Gu Tongwan nodded.

Liu Jinde immediately gave me a thumbs up, and then said, "That's amazing. I never dreamed that you, Doctor Gu, were so skilled. I heard about you in the village before, but unfortunately my children were too young at that time, so I didn't go into the mountains with you. But I didn't expect that you could even kill an S-level mutant beast. This is not a matter of luck. Without some strength, who would dare to enter the restricted area?"

Gu Tongwan didn't plan to continue talking about this topic, but just looked at the second floor that had already been capped. The outside had been painted with putty powder, and the white walls were covered with tiles made of anti-corrosion materials. Even the top of the ceiling was made of special materials. This ensured that even if acid rain came again, the house would not be corroded.

Maybe because the entire exterior of the house is covered with tiles, the house looks pretty good from a distance.

"Doctor Gu, here are the dimensions of the doors and windows, as well as the materials needed." A villager handed Gu Tongwan a piece of paper.

The windows need to be made into anti-theft windows, as well as anti-theft doors, and various hardware materials. If you ask for prices at the trading center, you will definitely get them quickly, but currently these materials are not sold except in the commercial street over there.

In fact, she already had all these materials in her space, so she could only nod and say, "I'll go buy these, and I'll drive them over when the time comes." She then looked at Liu Jinde and said, "Brother Liu, after installing the rear doors and windows, how many days will it take to complete the work?"

"At present, the water and electricity in the inner room have been connected, but you have to open an account at the Water and Electricity Bureau so that you can have electricity and water. The doors and windows can be completed in one day as long as the materials arrive. As for the inside, the putty has been hung according to your requirements. The paint has not been purchased yet, but it will be quick. We have a lot of manpower and it will only take two days." Liu Jinde said.

Gu Tongwan thought about it and concluded that everything could be basically completed in three days. Then the door could be left open for four or five days so that people could move in directly.

It is already past five in the afternoon, and it is too late to go to the rental company to rent a large truck. I can only go again tomorrow.

After the hunting conference, according to official statements, a large-scale beast tide is about to arrive. In two days, the base will close the gates in and out of the city. At that time, the base will be under full martial law. All residents must stay at home after 7 o'clock and are not allowed to go out. Once anyone is found to have gone out without permission, five to fifteen points will be deducted. If they still do not change after being educated and warned, they will be directly sent to the dungeon for compulsory labor.

Similar companies and government agencies must ensure that there are no night shifts during this period, and that no one is left behind after 6 o'clock. If there are special circumstances, units and departments need special permission from higher-level authorities to arrange night shifts.

In addition, the Self-Defense Forces in the base will have four shifts, two shifts during the day and two shifts from 7 pm to 7 am the next day. At night, three times as many people will be deployed for night patrols in the inner and outer circles.

Those who need to go out for special reasons must have a certificate of staying and working overtime from their unit, otherwise they will also be severely punished.

This notice is basically broadcast on loudspeakers on the road every half hour, and even the base’s online forum has specially created a large section to announce various precautions.

When Gu Tongwan went back, the road was full of people hurrying. Although there were still two days before the martial law, the atmosphere had already spread within the base. Everyone was uneasy. After all, every beast tide would cause considerable losses. Ordinary people who did not join mercenaries or wanderer organizations outside the base and could not get the protection of psychics could only hope that they would have a good tone.

In her previous life, Gu Tongwan had also experienced two beast tides. She was the lucky one, but she still remembered that after each beast tide, the surroundings were filled with bloody skeletons. When the beast tide came, all the mutant beasts would move in one direction. The mutant beasts would attack other creatures indiscriminately. As long as there was a living thing moving, the mutant beasts would swarm in and tear it apart until it was reduced to a pile of bones.

No wonder more and more people have entered the base in the past few days. Those who originally disdained the base and even complained about the high entrance fee to the base began to line up outside.

In order to control the number of people, the base has increased the entry fee to [30 kilograms of rice or fine noodles, and 20 kilograms of various coarse grains.], and not only that, it is also necessary to verify the entry information of relevant personnel.

There were even survivors from other cities who drove to the Jiangcheng base. These people were those who had survived by working or traveling in other places before the apocalypse. They entered the base to avoid the beast tide and to find their loved ones.

When Gu Tongwan returned to the guesthouse, he saw Lan Qin holding a broom and chasing something frantically in the restaurant.

At this time, footsteps were heard on the second floor. Xiaoli came down with a bag in her hand and asked hurriedly, "How is it? Did you catch him?"

Lan Qin stopped, her face slightly flushed from running, and she shook her head breathlessly, "No, this big rat is too smart, it seems to have hidden in the cupboard."

"Damn, there seems to be a newly bought tablecloth in the cabinet. It would be terrible if it got bitten!" As he said that, he put down the package and found a pair of tongs from behind the door, trying to beat the mutant rat out.

In the past few days, rats suddenly ran into the guesthouse in large numbers. In the morning, Xiaoli had just opened the TV cabinet when several mutant rats jumped out from it, baring their teeth and pouncing on her. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and got out of the way. Then she saw the big rat running all over the room. She screamed in fright and got goose bumps all over her body. So the landlady quickly asked Xiaoli to go to the place where the four pests were eradicated and purchase more rat and cockroach medicine.

But unfortunately, the effect was minimal, because these mutated rats were like spirits of cockroaches, and they seemed to know that these rice grains with strange smells were inedible, so they would rather rummage through the drawers and cabinets in the back kitchen than eat the rat meat scattered in obvious places.

Because there are more rats, thumb-sized rat droppings can often be seen in the kitchen, which also emits a foul smell. In addition, many wooden kitchen utensils have been gnawed by rats and the cushions on the chairs have been scratched. The restaurant is currently suffering considerable losses.

In fact, it is not just the guesthouse that has been hit hard. Other places are not much better. People in the catering industry in particular are extremely likely to be attacked by mutated rats. There have even been several incidents of injuries, all of which were children under the age of six who were bitten by rats without the attention of adults. The serious ones are currently being sent to the base hospital for treatment, while those who are not seriously ill have to go to the clinic for an injection similar to the rabies vaccine.

After seeing Gu Tongwan coming back, Xiaoli walked over with a gloomy face and pleaded, "Wanwan, can you lend me your dog? There are more and more big rats. If this continues, we won't be able to live here anymore."

Xiaoli had seen Aoao and Tutu catching mutant mice. Before that, with Gu Tongwan's approval, they could arrange for people to go in and clean the place every day. One time, she saw Aoao swaggering out with a dead rat in his mouth.

Moreover, when cleaning her room these two days, Xiaoli also noticed that Gu Tongwan's room was incredibly clean, without the slightest sign of invasion by mutant rats and cockroaches. Like the other tenants' rooms on the same floor, once you entered, you would see either signs of gnawed furniture or cockroach droppings in the corners. It can be said that these things are simply omnipresent, and the drugs for killing the four pests have gradually lost their effect on them.

Gu Tongwan did not refuse this request. After all, in her opinion it was just a piece of cake.

Bring out Aoaotutu, who was taking a nap in the corner of the room.

Because of the rampant mutant rats in the past two days, she simply did not let the two dogs enter the space. Instead, she let them out and stayed in the room. In this way, the mutant rats would not dare to stay in her room.

As soon as Aoao and Tutu went downstairs, they sensed the scent of a big rat. Then the two dogs let out a low growl, which sounded like a warning.

Especially Aoao, who has a more lively personality, immediately rushed towards the TV cabinet, and in an instant he saw a black object running away in another direction.

However, Aoao was faster. He pounced forward with his big claws, and only a "puff" sound was heard. The sound, similar to that of brain bursting, was particularly clear in the restaurant.

When Aoao raised his paw, a big mouse weighing more than four pounds, almost as big as a cat, was twitching continuously.
