Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 327 Moving to a new home
The cleanup operation went smoothly for three consecutive days, but at the same time, a small number of people in the base were poisoned by eating mutant crow meat.
These people simply took the chance and thought that mutant crow meat was still meat, and that there should be less toxin residue in a newly dead crow, so they boldly stole it home and cooked it.
But in fact, mutant crows are different from ordinary crows. Even when they are alive, they still have trace amounts of toxins in their bodies. Normal people will experience vomiting, diarrhea, etc. after eating them. But if they are already dead mutant crows, the toxins in them will be converted into another more intense toxin.
People who ate the mutated crow meat experienced various adverse reactions. Even the elderly and children who were already in poor health had their conditions aggravated after eating it. There have already been cases of death from eating the meat.
The base immediately issued a statement, recommending that base residents do not eat mutant crow meat privately, and strictly prohibiting the use of mutant crow meat to sell as other meats. Once such a phenomenon is discovered, the perpetrators will be held accountable.
The orange high temperature warning notice issued by the base also stated that the recent temperature is abnormal and has a trend of gradually rising. It is very likely that the indoor temperature will reach a maximum of 40 degrees in the next week. Residents are expected to take measures to prevent heatstroke.
After finishing the cleaning work for the day, Gu Tongwan returned to the guesthouse, carrying two suitcases. In fact, they were empty, with nothing in them. With the portable space, there was no need for suitcases at all. Therefore, the two boxes were actually decorations. He just didn't want people to see him with nothing.
Xiaoli and Lan Qin accompanied Gu Tongwan to the door, feeling somewhat reluctant to let him go. After all, they had been together day and night for several months and had long been accustomed to seeing him upstairs and downstairs from Gu Tongwan.
Fortunately, the place where she lived was not far from the guesthouse.
The guesthouse was originally located near the inner circle sentry box, and it was only six or seven kilometers away from here by car. As long as Xiaoli and Lanqin wanted to come over, they could ask the proprietress to take them there at any time.
As for Wen Ju's affairs, Gu Tongwan planned to wait until the curfew at the base was over before trying to find a way to invite them to his home separately.
After all, her social circles come from different circles, and forcing them to get together would only make everyone awkward, and if there were too many people, it would become a big banquet, which would be too ostentatious in a place like the base.
She had thought it all out. Liao Yunyun and Chen Yanxi could be invited to her home privately, the Jiang siblings would be another group, as would Zhang Youfan and Liu Jinde's family, and the rest would be people from the guesthouse.
Anyway, good food is never too late, and there is no need to rush for a banquet. You might as well take advantage of this time to take care of your own yard and new home.
The car was parked outside the yard. I hadn't been there for three or four days, but there was no sign of black-shelled cockroaches outside. I guess the people living near the villa area had already arranged for people to clean it up.
This place is only a few dozen meters away from the villa area where the powerful and wealthy live. They simply cannot tolerate the dirty and messy environment, so it was right to choose to buy this unfinished courtyard. At least it can benefit from being backed by the villa area.
She was careful when parking the car outside and installed an automatic alarm on the car in advance. In order to facilitate the inspection of the situation outside the yard, she also installed two cameras outside, one in front of the yard and one behind the yard wall. This way, she can replay the camera content every day even without internet.
However, speaking of the Internet, the yard has not had time to install it yet. We have to wait until the martial law ends and take some time to go to the telecommunications company to handle related business.
I haven't been here for several days. The melon seedlings planted in the yard could not escape the infestation of black-shelled cockroaches. However, it may also be because the temperature has risen too quickly in the past two days, and the melon seedlings have completely wilted.
Gu Tongwan could only pull out all the melon seedlings that had just emerged, turn the soil over again, and wait for a while before sowing the seeds and planting.
In addition to a few pieces of land, other places were also checked, and the corpses of hacker cockroaches were found in some corners. After cleaning them with a broom, some insecticide was sprayed.
After checking the yard, he entered the house.
The generator in the house stopped automatically due to lack of fuel, and the air purifier that was previously installed was still standing in its original position.
Now the remaining smell from the decoration in the house has basically dissipated, and only if you smell carefully can you smell some fine powder.
The two branches of the blood vine that she had deliberately left behind were slowly emerging from the corner. Perhaps it was because they had not eaten for a long time, but the branches of the blood vine that were originally quite strong when they were separated now looked a little shriveled.
Perhaps it is because the blood vine originally needs to absorb a certain amount of blood nutrients. The blood vine itself that stays in one's body relies on one's mental power to stay in the body. It can be said that as long as one's mental state is good, the blood vine can exert greater power. Once one's mental state is weakened, the blood vine will also be affected.
As for the blood vine branches, they can only rely on absorbing fresh blood or the most basic function of living things. During this time, the only ones that can enter the house are probably black-shelled cockroaches. However, black-shelled cockroaches have weak vitality and are at the bottom of the food chain of all mutant animals. In addition, the closer to the villa area, the more mutant animals are affected by the psychics, and it is more difficult for them to approach this side. For this reason, the blood vine branches have been "hungry" for almost a week.
After the blood vine branches re-entered the body, he immediately felt calmed down, similar to a dormant state.
Gu Tongwan came to the second floor. The situation on the second floor was similar to that on the first floor. The room was also equipped with the two-meter bed that he had customized.
After releasing Aoao and Tutu from the space, the two dogs wanted to jump forward as soon as they saw the bed. Gu Tongwan immediately shouted their names, and the two dogs immediately understood that they were not allowed to go on the bed.
In fact, Gu Tongwan really didn't dare to let them get on the bed. You know, the two dogs now weigh nearly 200 kilograms. If they get on the bed together and jump around a few times, her big bed will be in danger.
Tomorrow is the last day of cleaning work, so I don’t plan to work too hard tonight. After I finish work tomorrow, I will take two days off to take good care of my new home.
She took out a brand new four-piece set and rushed over. The previous one was a thin velvet four-piece set, but because the weather started to warm up recently, she deliberately changed it to a breathable mahjong mat.
The mahjong mat is soft under the soft silicone mattress and has a very good rebound.
He then took the small generator to the second floor and took out the air-conditioning fan directly from the bedroom. Recently, the outdoor power bank has been used up and there is not much power left, so he simply used the diesel generator to supply power, and by the way, he could also recharge the outdoor power bank.
On weekends, we have to find someone to install the water tank and air conditioner outdoor unit in the yard.
The good thing about living near the villa area is that even the home appliances can be used normally. It is better to be regarded as a rich person than to be frequently suspected of the origin of these appliances.
Because the weather was too hot at night and I had no appetite after working all day, I simply took out some iced red bean tofu pudding from the space, sprinkled it with a layer of coconut meat, added slightly sweet coconut milk, and some ice chips. One bite of it cooled my throat to my heart and lungs, and the heat in my body was instantly relieved a lot.
Around seven in the evening, Gu Tongwan walked to the balcony on the second floor. Someone had specially built a balcony of about five or six square meters on the second floor, where he could occasionally enjoy the fresh air. Although the floor was not high, because the inner circle was located on the top of a mountain with higher terrain, from this angle he could clearly see only sporadic flashes of light under the outer circle, which was probably the light reflected by the rechargeable lamp used in that household.
On the third day of cleaning work, I felt the temperature was unusually high as soon as I stepped out of the yard in the morning. At 7:15, the temperature had reached 36 degrees, so it would not be a problem for it to break 40 degrees in the afternoon.
Gu Tongwan walked to the side of the road with a broom and other tools in his hands. The two coconut trees nearby drooped slightly under the sun, but there was no need to worry about withering for such heat-resistant plants. Each plant here had a watering device underneath, which would sprinkle water for more than two minutes at a fixed time every day.
Five minutes later, Liao Yunyun appeared at the meeting place. The meeting place was a location halfway between where the two lived. It took Gu Tongwan fifteen minutes to walk there, but it only took Liao Yunyun ten minutes.
Even so, Liao Yunyun still felt that she was sweating early in the morning.
But the only thing to be thankful for is that there are not many black-shelled cockroaches in the block along the way, at least half the number compared to the previous two days, and the mutant crows had cleaned them up on the first day, so the streets are no longer filled with the unpleasant smell of rotten meat and burnt meat.
It was just that the weather was too hot, so the two of them tried to walk under the eaves in shaded areas as much as possible. Because there were not many black-shelled cockroaches, it took less than two and a half hours to clean up all the black-shelled cockroaches in the entire block. When they looked back, they did not find any cockroaches that had crawled out again. The two of them immediately felt relieved and continued to sit on the stone pier outside the coffee shop where they often rested before.
"I received a message from the company last night saying that I can only work from home during this period. Those with computers can do their previous work, and those without computers can use their phones to collect some materials, or just take it as a holiday. However, this month's salary will definitely be very small. I chose to work from home. Anyway, it will be fine later. I just don't have air conditioning at home. If I were at work, at least I could enjoy the cool air."
Liao Yunyun's unit also belongs to the government department. It can be said that basically all administrative units and companies in the inner circle are equipped with refrigeration equipment.
So compared to the apartment that is like a furnace, Liao Yunyun would rather lift the martial law as soon as possible, so that at least she can enjoy air conditioning at work during the day.
As Liao Yunyun spoke, she took out a large pot of water from her bag. She had filled it with a full liter of boiled water from home that morning. Even so, in this weather, she finished it in a short while.
Gu Tongwan still took Tutu out today, but let Tutu go somewhere else to play for the time being. Tutu has a calm personality and will come back following the scent at a certain time.
Taking advantage of the martial law in the base during this period and not many people going out, Tutu has only now the time to move freely.
However, in the future, there will be a front and back yard of more than 200 square meters, which is enough for the two dogs to play around in. If things don’t work out, they can go back to the space. At least the space is thousands of square meters, so the two dogs can choose freely.
"I don't know how Chen Yanxi is doing recently. Can you contact him?" Liao Yunyun looked at her friend, really curious about how the two of them get along. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Chen Yanxi is interested in Gu Tongwan and cares about her in every way. In addition, the two of them are very similar in appearance, personality, and life experience, have no family burden, and are both supernatural beings. If these two are combined, it will be a powerful combination.
"I guess there's no signal over there. I haven't been in touch with him for a week." Gu Tongwan said as he looked into the distance, which was the direction of the big forest in the north.
Liao Yunyun looked at her while drinking water, and said in a teasing tone: "Hey, you said that Chen Yanxi would not get hurt in such a dangerous job, right? Although he is an S-level psychic, this beast tide is the most difficult one since the natural disaster that the base has stamped on. Moreover, I also heard that the S-level psychics sent out this time are divided into factions. Among them, the one named Shen Lian seems to be at odds with Chen Yanxi. I don’t know if Chen Yanxi will be in trouble, but it doesn’t matter. Anyway, he is alone and no one will care about him."
Gu Tongwan could hear the hidden meaning of Liao Yunyun's words. He suddenly stood up, patted the mud on his body, and said with a smile: "How do you know that no one misses him?"
Liao Yunyun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and pointed at her and said, "Wait, you mean when did you do that to him? How come I don't know about it?"
"What are you thinking about? Can't the concern I'm talking about be between good friends?" Gu Tongwan shook his head unhappily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you believe it? Do I believe it? Does he believe it?" Liao Yunyun rolled her eyes. This kind of thing is only said to outsiders. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the relationship between these two is "more than friends, but less than lovers." Obviously, one is pursuing her in a relaxed manner, and the other seems to pretend not to care, but in fact, she doesn't mind his protection.
In fact, Liao Yunyun wanted to point at her friend's nose and say "pretentious". She really didn't understand why young people nowadays are so hesitant in dating. She knew her best friend. If she really didn't like the other person, she would never have accepted Chen Yanxi's approach from the beginning.
After all, every time Chen Yanxi looked at her, his eyes were full of doting, just like he was raising a daughter.
But Chen Yanxi seems to be only three years older than them. He usually treats the girls he likes as his daughters. This probably means he really likes them.
The two wanted to continue chatting, but at this moment an alarm suddenly sounded in the base.
The air defense alarm in the base will generally only be activated when a major disaster occurs, that is, a disaster that reaches Level A or above. At this time, the three long and two short alarm sounds immediately broke the tranquility of the entire base.
