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

The old lady originally wanted to rely on her age and the fact that she had a baby with her, and she thought that Gu Tongwan would give her the mosquito net because of her frail and pitiful appearance. However, she did not expect that the girl in front of her was so young but had such a cold personality.

The smile on the old lady's face froze for a moment, but she quickly reacted and immediately put on a smile again. She pulled the little boy's hand in front of Gu Tongwan, sighed, and her smile turned into anxiety.

"Little sister, look at my grandson. He has been bitten by mosquitoes and locusts these past few days. There is really nothing we can do. We old people can endure it, but we can't let the little kid suffer."

Gu Tongwan had no intention of pampering this old lady, and he had become numb to such people after seeing so many of them. If she was just helping out a little, there was nothing wrong with that, but the situation in the city was precarious now. Knowing that mosquito bites were becoming increasingly serious after the locust plague, she still morally blackmailed others. Such people were simply despicable.

Her luck is pretty good. She just met that shameless couple who were trying to scam people at the juice shop two days ago, and now she met the old lady who was trying to blackmail her morally.

Gu Tongwan clenched the bag of mosquito nets in his hand, and then said to the old lady: "If the child is really sick, he can be sent to the health center. There are medicines there to treat him. As for the mosquito net, you can use a sheet to make it. Except that it is a little more stuffy, the effect is actually almost the same."

The old lady pouted her lips with a guilty conscience and continued to sigh: "Little sister, the health center is not something that people like us can afford. Once you go in, you can't get out without several hundred points. We live on the seventh floor and are squeezed into a small room of 30 square meters. It's a problem to eat and drink."

"Oh, so that's the case. I can sell you the mosquito net for 150 points. Do you want it?" Gu Tongwan said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

The old lady was so angry that she almost jumped up and down when she heard this. She immediately glared and shouted, "This is robbery, little sister. Don't be too greedy. This is asking for too much. Before, at the supply and marketing cooperative, a mosquito net cost 30 points. How come it costs 150 points here?"

Gu Tongwan just replied calmly, "How can it be the same? There were mosquitoes in the city before the locust plague, but not many. The beast tide hadn't come yet, so not many people would buy mosquito nets. And they were sold out yesterday. The last batch was sold for 120 points, and that was the most ordinary kind. Besides, I found this mosquito net in a department store before the end of the world. Apart from anything else, the style and quality are the best. Let alone 150 points, if I sell it to someone now, I'll sell it for 200 points and there will be people rushing to grab it."

The old lady was angry and anxious, but she had no way to refute Gu Tongwan's words. Just before leaving, she asked her son to think of a way to get a mosquito net for the house. Her son works in a government department, and the family of seven really relies on her son to live in the unit's housing here. They only have to pay 300 points in rent every month. In addition, her daughter-in-law and two younger daughters work outside. She usually takes care of the children at home. Her eldest granddaughter is ten years old and can occasionally go out to run errands. She doesn't need to worry about it at all.

It can be said that apart from living in a too crowded environment, the family's living conditions are not too bad. It's just that the old lady likes to take advantage and only thinks about herself. She went to the unit to make a fuss, crying and begging for pity before the superiors gave the eldest son the house.

The eldest son originally planned to buy a mosquito net and had already looked it up online. The author of a post on the forum said that he had extra mosquito nets, but they were being sold for 250 points each. The old lady thought it was too expensive and a steal, so she planned to take her grandson to a nearby commercial street to try her luck and see if there were any mosquito nets left. Unexpectedly, she saw Gu Tongwan walking upstairs with a mosquito net in his hand, and that's when she came up with an idea.

Seeing that the old lady was hesitating and it was obvious that she didn't want to buy the mosquito net, Gu Tongwan snorted coldly and walked forward.

In fact, if the old lady really wanted to buy it, she could sell it. After all, there were at least dozens of such mosquito nets in the space. After the beast tide was over, there would naturally be fewer mosquitoes. Mosquito nets were not non-essential consumables, so there was no need to store them in the space all the time.

Seeing that she was about to leave, the old lady immediately pinched her grandson's arm, which made him want to cry. She then cursed in a low voice: "Why don't you go up and ask the young lady to sell us a mosquito net, or do you want to take medicine again tonight?"

After knowing that her grandson had been bitten by locusts, the old lady could only apply medicine to him at night, and she had to squeeze out the pus every time. The three or four-year-old child would scream in pain every time. Now when he heard that he had to apply medicine at night, he suddenly felt scared. Then he heard his grandmother say that as long as his sister gave them a mosquito net, they would not be bitten, so he subconsciously chased after them, without thinking, and wanted to hug Gu Tongwan's calf directly according to the action of hugging people when he was chased and beaten at home.

Gu Tongwan noticed something rushing towards him from behind, frowned, and immediately turned sideways.

As a result, the child failed to hold the leg. Instead, because he ran too fast, he stumbled and fell forward on his face.

"Wow, that hurts, grandma, grandma."

The crying of a child suddenly sounded downstairs. Gu Tongwan's eyes turned cold, and he still stood by and looked at the old lady calmly. She did not immediately help her grandson. Instead, she cried and shouted when someone came over: "How can you be like this? Even if you don't sell the mosquito net to us, there is no need to push away a three or four-year-old child. Do you still have any sympathy?"

After hearing the old lady's voice and looking at the child crying on the ground, some ignorant and reproachful eyes fell on Gu Tongwan.

"No way, bullying children and the elderly? This is really the end of the world, humanity is gone."

"Don't jump to conclusions. What if it's a scam? It's the end of the world, and bad guys don't discriminate between men, women, young or old."

"Hey, what are you doing? Want to help? Are you crazy? I'm telling you, we should stay out of this kind of thing, so we don't get used as a tool and end up getting into trouble."

Various discussions were heard nearby, and at this time some people came back from get off work one after another.

Gu Tongwan just pointed to a place diagonally opposite, and everyone looked over. There was a small black box there. After looking carefully, they realized that it was a surveillance camera.

"My dear, if you think I pushed someone, I suggest you go to the security bureau and call the police right now. But I'll tell you in advance that there are cameras here. If the camera doesn't show me pushing your grandson, then you are deliberately trying to extort money. According to the current regulations of the base, deliberately hitting someone is considered disturbing social order and you must do voluntary labor in the underground city for more than seven days and less than fifteen days, and you will also be fined 500 points. How about I call the police for you now?"

Perhaps it was because her attitude was too frank, and the discussion immediately turned into a unanimous consensus that the old lady was setting up a honey trap.

So those malicious and contemptuous eyes naturally turned to the old lady, and even when the child fell to the ground crying, no one came to help.

The old lady didn't expect there was a camera here. She shrank her shoulders with a little trembling, and went up to pull her grandson into her arms. She didn't care about the scratches on the child's face, and changed her previous slow walk and went upstairs quickly.

As soon as the old lady left, others couldn't help but sigh. They thought that the world was going downhill and that even old people and children were cheating people, and it happened in the same neighborhood.

Gu Tongwan narrowed his eyes and followed the old lady's steps slowly. When he reached the fourth floor, he found that the old lady turned to the right and went to a building.

When I returned to Liao Yunyun's room and briefly told her what had just happened, I didn't expect Liao Yunyun to angrily scold me, "I didn't expect there was such an old bitch living downstairs. Damn it, if I meet her next time, I will scold her to death!"

"Okay, I'm telling you to be careful about this family. A child who is only three or four years old has already been taught to play the victim and scam people. I don't think this family is good people. If you meet them in the future, just stay away from them."

"Just let her go like this?"

Liao Yunyun has an impulsive and hot-tempered temper. If there weren't surveillance cameras downstairs in the community, or if the old lady happened to be committing fraud in a blind spot, then wouldn't her best friend be unable to explain herself?

"This evil creature can only be dealt with by evil people. If you walk too much by the river, your shoes will get wet. Forget it. If I run into her again next time, I will not let her go."

Gu Tongwan had a smile on his face, but his tone was a little more sharp, which made Liao Yunyun shiver. Then she remembered that her best friend was a ruthless person who could kill an S-level mutant beast. But she shouldn't worry about an old woman.

Gu Tongwan left the community only after hanging up the mosquito net for Liao Yunyun. When he returned to the guesthouse, he found Xiaoli sitting in front of the cashier counter, sewing a large piece of gauze-like cloth with Lan Qin.

"No, it should start from this side and make it into a square so that it is easier to hang it up." Xiaoli instructed Lan Qin, and when she saw Gu Tongwan coming back, she waved to her.

When Gu Tongwan came forward, she asked, "Wanwan, do you have a mosquito net in your room? My aunt just brought back a batch of fabrics that can be turned into mosquito nets. I can probably make five of them. If you want one, I'll leave one for you."

Gu Tongwan picked up the cloth on the table and took a look at it. It was similar to the kind of cloth made from spinning yarn. Not as breathable as normal mosquito net fabric, but better than ordinary fabric. It should be able to block ordinary mosquitoes.

"No need, I have my own mosquito net, you can give it to others." Gu Tongwan said with a smile.

Xiaoli nodded and continued to make the mosquito net.

After a while, we heard another announcement on the radio outside, saying that a second wave of locust plague might hit the base in the near future, and that there had been serious deaths from mosquito bites in the base. Residents were asked to go to the Four Pests Company in the nearby block to buy the insecticide designated by the base within two days.
