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

Gu Tongwan and Liao Yunyun finally heard the announcement on the radio at around 5pm, which mainly asked the volunteers to wait in place while the government sent people to drive to each block to check the road conditions. In fact, they also wanted to check whether the volunteers had completed the cleaning work within the specified time. After all, the government would not give out the money for no reason.

The government initially announced that there would only be a dozen points a day, and no one was very interested at the time. But unexpectedly, with just half a day of registration, you could get hundreds of points by participating in the cleaning activity. Isn't this really enviable? If you don't do a good job of cleaning, you may even be reported by your real name, and your wages will be directly cancelled or cut in half.

After waiting for about twenty minutes at the designated marked section of the road, I saw a van driving into the street and stopping after seeing two people on the roadside.

A staff member wearing chemical protective clothing held a small notebook in his hand and asked the two people to sign after checking their names. The staff member then said "thank you for your hard work" and got back into the van.

After the people left, Liao Yunyun looked at her friend and asked, "Do you think we should be considered qualified today?"

"The inner circle shouldn't be too strict. Eighty to ninety percent of the cockroaches on the road have been cleared. No one can ensure that the cockroaches in the sewers will continue to crawl up. When I asked about it, the government asked that as long as the cleaning rate can reach 85%, it will be qualified. I think there is no problem."

Liao Yunyun glanced at the ground. It was completely different from before. Before, it was full of black-shelled cockroaches. Now, except for the scattered cockroach corpses crawling out from the back, the ground was not too dirty. So she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The wages of volunteers are not settled every day, but on the third day after the cleaning work is completed, when the government has settled the wages. The settlement method is to transfer points directly into their own nameplate card through the Internet, and the balance on the card can be checked at various consumption occasions or on the machines in the transaction center.

The cleaning work on the second day was relatively simple. The mutant crows had almost finished the cleaning on the first day. All we had to do was pay attention to the black-shelled cockroaches pouring out of the sewer.

The people from the pest control company were still carrying out the secondary pest control work in the middle of the night. It was said that a total of three city-wide pest control operations were arranged in the base this time, mainly targeting the black-shelled cockroaches in the sewers. As long as the elimination rate reached more than half, otherwise, with the subsequent suppression of the beast tide, the black-shelled cockroaches in the sewers would be affected and would flood into the entire base again. It would be better to kill them before that.

The temperature continued to rise at night, and keeping the windows closed would suffocate people sooner or later, so most of the residents in the base began to think of ways to install screens outside the windows during the day. As a result, early in the morning, the furniture market and various hardware stores were crowded with people who came to purchase materials.

Unfortunately, the materials for the screen windows in the base are limited, so some people have to settle for the second best and simply try to put a layer of gauze outside the window, or simply open half of the window and then pull a piece of gauze outside the window, which can achieve a certain blocking effect.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Gu Tongwan had already installed two cooling electric fans in the room. He took out the ice crystals that had been placed in the small refrigerator during the day and put them into the fans, then filled them with cold water. One was placed in the corner and the other at the end of the bed. It was enough for a room of more than 20 square meters, and could at least keep the room at a cool temperature of around 23 or 24 degrees.

The temperature outside is about 30 degrees. If the windows are closed, the temperature will only continue to rise. After all, the human body will continuously release a certain amount of heat. If it is a small room, several family members will squeeze together to release heat, and the room will only become a small steam room.

Gu Tongwan drew the curtains and left the window half open, with a screen screen blocking the view outside.

The proprietress is a thoughtful person. When the guesthouse was first built, almost all the windows were separated by a layer of screens. However, they were worried that black-shelled cockroaches would continue to enter the house, and coupled with the government's notice, no one dared to open the windows. But now that the temperature continues to rise, no one can care less and they all open half of the window like Gu Tongwan, at least to allow air to circulate in the room.

Gu Tongwan leaned on the bed. This was his last night staying in the guesthouse and all his luggage had basically been packed.

In fact, there was nothing to pack. Most of her things were taken out from the space, so she just needed to tidy up the room.

She took out half of a frozen watermelon from the space. It was the kind with thin skin and flowery skin. There were probably hundreds of watermelons harvested from the black soil in the space before. Some of them were soaked in cold spring water, and some were frozen with the snow water she had collected before.

Although there is no electricity in the space now, there is a natural refrigerator - snow pile

These were collected during the extreme cold weather. They can be collected to cover dozens of square meters and piled together like a small ski resort.

You can just throw fruits and the like there. They will be frozen in less than an hour or two. Just leave them for ten minutes or so and they will be frozen fruit.

Even if it was mutated meat, it would be frozen meat if it was thrown directly onto the snow within an afternoon.

The watermelons soaked in spiritual spring water taste particularly sweet, and the watermelons harvested from the black soil have thin skin and thick flesh. A spoon can be used to scoop out the thick flesh.

Moreover, this batch of watermelons has not yet become completely sandy, so they taste more refreshing.

She planned to go to the space to squeeze a batch of fresh watermelon juice when she had time. She drank up the juice she squeezed before in no time.

After eating watermelon, I started to check the forum again. The posts were all about the disinfection work and volunteer work in the past two days.

Then she found that many people had sent her private messages in response to the reply she had sent before, all of whom wanted to ask her for pesticides.

Several people sent her private messages saying that they were introduced by [Yuzu Tea], while others came to inquire about prices and her supply channels. She only replied to those who were introduced by Yuzu Tea, and successfully sold seven or eight bottles of insecticide.

Now she still has more than 10,000 points on her card, and more than 20,000 points left to repay for the land loan of the yard. If converted into monthly payments, she only needs to pay more than 1,000 points each month, so she is not in a hurry to continue saving money. She plans to use the money on the card to buy goods, and after this beast tide is over, she will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to check out some disposable take-out water cups.

You can buy a proper batch and then put in the fresh fruit juice you squeezed in the space.

At first, she only found two boxes of disposable packaging boxes and milk tea cups in Kongcheng, but these things cannot be reused all the time. However, if the base has them, she can buy some to prepare for the subsequent low-cost business.

After eating half a watermelon, I checked my phone and went to bed at around ten o'clock. In the early morning, I heard the rumbling sound of the disinfection machine outside.

It was now the middle of the night.

Xiaoli was so hot upstairs that she only wore a small vest and shorts. Anyway, no one could see her in her room, so she basically wore whatever was cooler and held a small rechargeable fan in her hand, blowing it towards her face.

I had taken two cold showers in the evening, but the heat kept coming back after a while.

She found the small fan in the warehouse, which was the most common plug-in fan. It could not be used at all during the power restriction at night. Although the guesthouse had a generator, it would only be used in emergencies. After all, the generator required diesel, which was a rare commodity in the base. The price in the base was staggering. She could not afford a few liters with her monthly salary, let alone use it to generate electricity at night.

I can only rely on this bullshit saying that if I keep calm I will cool down naturally and try not to think about the temperature.

Xiaoli glanced at the thermometer, which was 29 degrees, and walked to the window. There seemed to be no wind at night. Through the gauze window, she could only smell the stench of disinfection coming in from outside. There was no wind at all.

Pursing her lips, Xiaoli simply logged into the communication group to see if there was anyone else who couldn't sleep because of the heat like her so late at night.

Unexpectedly, there were quite a few people practicing Taoism in the middle of the night, and the number of messages reached thousands.

[I plan to buy a fan the day after tomorrow. I heard that the electrical appliance store on Second Street in Q District has a batch of newly manufactured fans, but I don’t know the price.]

[The price is definitely high. When the temperature just started to rise a few days ago, it was already selling for 500 to 600 points. I remember that the second-hand fans in the trading center were only 200 points before, but now the second-hand ones are doubled.]

[My budget is within 1,000 yuan. If I don't buy it now, I really can't afford it. But I'm worried that I won't be able to buy it. There must be only a few dozen units this time, and it will be hard to grab. ]

[The problem is that buying a fan is useless. If there is a power outage at night, it will still be hot even with a fan without electricity, unless you can buy a generator.]

[Generator? That's impossible. Let's not talk about whether there are generators available. The main thing is the price. More than 8,000 yuan per unit, and it's a low-power one. Then there's the fuel issue. Diesel is now 80 points per liter, and gasoline is 120 points per liter. Unless your family is a miner, who would dare to use it like this?]

[You know what, this happened when my mom was cleaning the villa area. Every household in the villa area really has a generator.]

[You also know that it is a villa area. Besides, they probably don’t need generators there. The rich and powerful live in the villa area, and there is no electricity restriction there. My aunt lives in a nearby community. She said that she could still see the street lights outside the villa area still on when she woke up in the middle of the night. It is conceivable that the extremely hot weather has no effect on them at all. They still use the air conditioner and refrigerator as usual. Only ordinary people like us are in dire straits.]

[We have strayed off topic. Let’s not worry about the rich and powerful. That is their reincarnation. It has nothing to do with our current life. The only question now is, if the extreme heat comes, how are we going to survive it?]

[What else can I do? I can only bear it and take some corresponding heatstroke prevention measures. Isn’t this how I got through the first time I encountered extreme heat? ]

[Keep some honeysuckle at home, or make more herbal tea in the summer. Go to the pharmacy to see if you can buy Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid and Shi Di Shui. There is no purchase limit for these two things in the pharmacy. I guess the pharmaceutical factory has been increasing the production. ]

[In fact, I am mainly worried about the issue of going to work. My father and my husband both work on construction sites. The extremely hot weather really affects their work. They work outdoors anyway, and I am worried that our bodies won’t be able to endure it.]

[The construction site should have corresponding heatstroke prevention measures, such as distributing sun-protective clothing and timely replenishment of water. The working hours should also be adjusted. It is estimated that it will be changed to night shift. Our company sent a notice this morning. If the temperature continues to rise, it is not ruled out that the work will be changed to night shift. Of course, it still has to be after the beast tide is over, otherwise it will be unsafe to go to and from get off work. ]

[Oh, damn the weather, my water bill has been rising this month. I only used 30 points of water last month, so this month's water bill will at least double.]

[Speaking of this, I am even more miserable. The price of meat has gone up recently, so I bought about ten kilograms of mutant pork and put it in the refrigerator. But then there was a power cut at night, and my meat went bad. In the end, I had no choice but to throw it away.]

[Damn, speaking of this, my family is the same, but luckily I stopped my parents from buying too much that day, but several kilograms of it still went bad.]

[When you mentioned meat, I remembered, have you heard about the mass poisoning incident in Block E this afternoon? It is said that hundreds of people had varying degrees of vomiting and fever. After being rushed to the health center, it was discovered that these people had eaten mutant crow meat.]

[Good fellow, isn't it said that that thing cannot be eaten? Especially the corpse of the mutant crow is highly poisonous. Why don't these people listen? ]

[Hey, those living in Block E are the lowest-level workers from the outer circle. They are probably starving, and they are all hoping for the best. It’s just pitiful that there are some children there. It is said that the situation of children and the elderly is the most serious. My wife works at the health center, and she said that some of the elderly have already died.]

[It's simply a sin, so pitiful. ]

[Speaking of this mutant crow meat, I don't know if you know this, but recently a group of unscrupulous people have been buying up a batch of dead mutant crow meat at a low price, intending to make it into various canned meat and jerky for sale. If we accidentally buy this batch of canned meat one day, it would be a natural disaster.]

[Fuck, there is such a thing? Who did it? This person is so wicked, don't let me see it, or I will kill this beast! ]

Xiaoli saw the news and started to speak as well.

[I am a volunteer cleaning the neighborhood. I encountered this kind of person today. When I stepped forward to stop him, I was almost threatened and bullied. Fortunately, my friend arrived and called the police. The security bureau has already controlled these people, but I am afraid that there are not only those few people like this. There must be others who do this secretly. ]

[Oh my god, this is so scary. Fortunately, you are okay.]

[What a beast, he could do such a thing, he has thrown his conscience away just to make a few bucks. ]

Xiaoli sighed, still feeling scared about what happened this morning.

In the third year of the apocalypse, a notice was broadcasted on the base that an extreme heat wave was approaching.
