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

The time for recording the statement was not as long as expected, and it only lasted about twenty minutes. It was mainly to understand the specific situation at that time. After all, when fighting with this inhuman thing, Gu Tongwan was in close contact, and he could feel the changes of the spontaneously combusting man more intuitively than the other psychics.

When the body of the spontaneously combusting man was being taken away, it could no longer be carried on a normal stretcher. After all, it had already turned into ashes and broke into pieces with the slightest touch. This caused a lot of trouble for the people sent from the health hospital to assist.

The people from the research institute were the last to arrive. Three people wearing chemical protective suits that are only seen in laboratories got out of a white van, holding relevant instruments in their hands, and one man was holding a glass bottle.

They did not need the entire body of the man who spontaneously combusted. They only collected about two glass bottles' worth of ashes. After briefly understanding the situation, they took out their cameras to collect clues on the spot.

When one of the men learned that Gu Tongwan had fought with the spontaneously combusting man and successfully resisted the man's attack, he couldn't help but look at her in surprise.

Outsiders may not be clear about the situation, but the man is very clear. Although the man is only an F-level mutant, this kind of mutant phenomenon caused by superpower outburst is not the first time, at least not the first time in the apocalypse. In the government's most confidential archive management, after the mutant goes berserk, he can rapidly expand his own superpowers infinitely in a short period of time, at least increasing the original superpower capacity to between thirty and three hundred times.

Judging from the damage caused at the scene, it was a disaster that could only be caused by a B-level psychic.

In fact, in the first year of the apocalypse, the first incident of human alienation after superpowers went out of control occurred in the United States, tens of thousands of kilometers away. At that time, a C-level metal superpower user's superpowers went out of control. After investigation and analysis, it was initially determined that the cause of the outburst was the impact of nuclear radiation leaked from a nearby nuclear power plant after an earthquake, which transformed the body's metal superpowers into a harmful superpower. As a result, the superpower himself could not withstand this superpower and became alienated.

After the mutation, the metal mutant grew hard metal spikes from his flesh. Not only that, even his nails were transformed into a special metal that could cut iron into mud.

The consciousness of the alienated psychic is in a state of runaway, which means that they have basically lost their instincts as human beings, and can only continuously attack any living objects according to the alienated murderous thoughts in their minds.

Rather than calling them human beings, it is better to call those whose superpowers go out of control "special superpowers" or "non-human superpowers."

But in China, the research institute has given this type of people a simpler and clearer name.

"Alienated"

After the American C-level mutant was mutated, the United States dispatched a full fifty elite troops and more than five A-level mutants to completely suppress the mutant.

According to some information disclosed to the governments of the allied countries at that time, everyone learned that the C-level mutant's own power energy increased by a full 128 times after the alienation, which is equivalent to the power of at least three A-level mutants.

It was after that that countries began to treat the research on "alienators" as a basic secret experiment. Initially, they used various mutant beasts to conduct the experiment, and through the mutant beasts they observed whether some high-level mutant beasts had the possibility of further alienation when their superpowers ran wild.

Unfortunately, some mutant animals do not seem to be the same species as humans, so even with repeated research, more accurate data cannot be obtained.

Based on this, some countries have adopted some radical measures and started to use human experiments to obtain more accurate research results, and even resorted to recruiting research specimens from ordinary humans and people with special abilities on a large scale.

As long as you participate in human experiments, you will have the opportunity to enter various major bases and board Noah's Ark, the last hope of mankind.

Even though they know that this kind of human experiment is challenging humanity's moral bottom line, some governments still insist on conducting this experiment, and participants and experimenters will undergo psychological counseling and brainwashing before the research, turning such experiments into a great historical initiative that benefits mankind.

It has to be said that although this type of experiment was strongly opposed by some scientific researchers, in the end a certain country still obtained the most accurate research results.

Compared with ordinary humans, people with special abilities have a higher probability of being alienated. The former has only a one in a hundred thousand possibility, while the latter can be as high as three in a thousand, that is, three out of a thousand people with special abilities will be alienated.

There are many reasons for alienation, which are related to the attributes of the individual and the surrounding environment. For example, today's fire-type mutant, the most fundamental reason for his ability to run wild and become an "alien" is the ever-increasing high temperature extreme weather, which causes the body's ability to be disordered and unable to be calmed down as soon as possible in a short period of time, which leads to the spontaneous combustion of the body.

Of course, other psychics may also be forced to alienate in extreme environments, but fire psychics with the same attributes are more likely to alienate than other psychics, such as water psychics or frost psychics.

The reason why the person from the research institute was surprised about Gu Tongwan was because a little girl could actually resist an alienator who had the strength of at least an A-level mutant after the mutation, and it was said that she even cut off one of the alienator's arms with one knife. Even an experienced mutant might not be able to do this.

Gu Tongwan did not notice the curious looks from the people in the research institute. Instead, she saw Liao Yunyun running towards her with a worried look on her face. After they got to her, they looked her in and out, and then pulled her around in circles. Finally, when they saw that she did not seem to be injured, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank God, it's a good thing that nothing happened to you, otherwise I would feel guilty for three lifetimes." Liao Yunyun curled her lips, somewhat disapproving of her best friend's behavior.

Putting yourself in danger is a big taboo in the end times. Even in the most urgent situation, unless the person you are willing to sacrifice your life for is a close family member or lover, Liao Yunyun will never agree to sacrifice her life for a stranger at any time.

Seeing the thoughts on Liao Yunyun's face, Gu Tongwan smiled and said, "I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I will only do this if I am sure. If I am not sure, I will not take risks."

"You shouldn't take risks even if you are sure. Haven't you heard that it's better to be safe than sorry? You should avoid doing this kind of thing in the future. Besides, when you were fighting that thing just now, except for those psychics, the rest of the people behind you could only stare blankly and didn't even call the police."

Liao Yunyun became angrier and angrier as she spoke, her eyes fixed on the passers-by on the opposite side who were being examined by health center staff.

One of the men couldn't stand Liao Yunyun's contemptuous look, so he said unhappily: "There's nothing we can do about it. We don't have any special powers, so we can't use our lives to block it. Wouldn't that be stupid?"

Another middle-aged woman also quickly agreed, "Yes, we are just ordinary people. I have elderly and young people at home, so how can I dare to take risks easily? You young people with strength should have stood in the front. Besides, aren't the people with special abilities here to protect ordinary people? Moreover, you already receive various government subsidies and have good jobs. We also have to pay base management fees every quarter. These fees are nothing more than subsidies to you. In this case, you should protect us."

What the woman said was actually not wrong, but people with special abilities can be divided into social people with special abilities, or people with special abilities working in government departments and people with special abilities in hunter guilds.

The former social psychics do not enjoy various subsidies provided by the government, while the psychics in government agencies and the Hunter Guild do receive a subsidy every month, which is mainly to increase the enthusiasm of the psychics. Once a special situation occurs in the base, the psychics will take the initiative to step forward, and the psychics can also get various benefits from the base.

In fact, this can be regarded as a form of cooperation between the two parties. The psychics sell their own psychics, and the base only loses part of the money.

From any perspective, this is currently the best and most important policy for maintaining peaceful relations between the psychics and the base.

Liao Yunyun wanted to continue arguing with these people, but was stopped by Gu Tongwan from behind.

"There's no need to argue. There's actually nothing wrong with what they said. You can only criticize them from a moral perspective, but in the eyes of others, perhaps their approach is correct."

Liao Yunyun's face tightened, and then she said sullenly, "So what I'm saying is, you did a good thing, but these people still think it's their due. If something like this happens again in the future, if you or the psychic don't continue to stand up, you will be condemned by thousands of people and become rats crossing the street that everyone will shout and spit on."

Gu Tongwan nodded. In fact, he agreed very much with what Liao Yunyun said. After all, judging from the attitudes of the passers-by, most people still believed that people with special abilities were stronger than ordinary people, so they should stand in front of ordinary people. Even if they sacrificed themselves, it was just bad luck.

However, Gu Tongwan was not entirely concerned about these passers-by. He was just worried that if the mutant slaughtered everyone present, Liao Yunyun would also be implicated. His flying fireballs might even turn the nearby streets into a sea of ​​fire.

Rather than letting the situation continue to ferment and develop into more serious consequences, it is better to nip it in the bud.

Anyway, she never cared about the so-called personal honor from the beginning, nor did she think about being a hero. It was purely a coincidence that she stood up to resist the alienators.

After pulling Liao Yunyun out of the neighborhood, she continued to complain for about ten minutes in the car until the car arrived at the destination - the electrical appliance warehouse, when she finally shut up.

It was around five o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still half an hour before the appliance store closed. The staff in the warehouse were no longer busy unloading the goods. Instead, there were four men sitting on the ground, shirtless, with cigarettes in their mouths, playing poker out of boredom.

Several batches of goods had already been unloaded in the morning, and as it was almost time to get off work, these people thought that no one would come to pick up the goods. So they planned to play cards and fish in the last half hour, and leave work as soon as 5:30 arrived.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of a car engine. One of them looked up curiously and wondered, "Could it be that another car is coming to pick up the goods? We didn't receive any calls from other stores asking for goods just now."

Another man took two puffs of a generic cigarette. The taste of this kind of cigarette was not very good, but it still cost 20 points a pack. However, it was still much better than the cigarettes sold one by one in bulk.

The other two people were not very energetic. After all, the air in the freight warehouse was stuffy. At noon, several people were already exhausted from a whole day of moving and unloading goods. Once they took a break, they felt listless. If it weren't for the fact that this job was settled every half a month and the salary was decent, they would definitely not be willing to continue doing it.

"It doesn't look like they are from the store. How can someone from the store come here in an SUV? Is it like yesterday, when those government departments or dignitaries came to pick up the ordered goods?"

As soon as the words fell, Liao Yunyun raised her voice and asked, "Excuse me, is there anyone inside?"

Several men looked at each other, but the foreman still answered, "Yes, it's here." He looked up at another slightly younger man and said, "Go and see what's going on. If it's the people who are picking up the goods, give it to them directly. Let's go back early today. The temperature in here can't be stayed any longer." As the man spoke, he wiped the sweat from his neck and forehead with the towel hanging around his neck, and wrung out a lot of water from the towel again. After all this last night, he turned around to get a kettle of about 2L and drank from it in big gulps.

When the other men saw him drinking water, they subconsciously felt their mouths dry and quickly turned around to find their own water bottles.

Today in the warehouse, everyone drank at least four or five liters of water. They almost became water buckets. But if they didn't drink so much, they would easily get heatstroke if they continued sweating for a long time.

On the other side, Gu Tongwan and Liao Yunyun had just gotten off the car and entered the freight warehouse when they felt dizzy and even had a stuffy feeling in their chests and couldn't breathe due to the temperature inside.

Gu Tongwan noticed that the entire warehouse was covered with iron sheets. After being exposed to the sun for a long time, the temperature reflected by the iron sheets would cause the temperature in the warehouse to be higher.

Secondly, there is only one ventilation hole at the main entrance of the warehouse, and the rest of the place is closed, so the air doesn't circulate at all. In addition, there are all kinds of strange smells in the warehouse, including the plastic smell of electric fans just leaving the factory, smoke, and human sweat. These smells mixed together make breathing even more difficult.

As I was thinking this, a young man walked up to me. Just as I was about to speak, he suddenly seemed to have trouble breathing and fell to the ground, holding his chest.
