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

Gu Tongwan got up before six o'clock the next morning. After a quick wash, he changed into a white sportswear and went out.

When I walked outside and opened the sunshade of the entire car, I was still shocked by the sudden high temperature.

Even now, in the middle of the night, the temperature outside is around 45 degrees. Even though the car is not exposed to the scorching sun, it is burned by such heat all night and it is even a little hot to the touch.

Gu Tongwan immediately climbed in and turned on the car's air conditioner, then brought out two buckets of water and poured them directly on the car, which would help cool it down a little.

After doing all this, her forehead was already sweating. This time, she took Aoao out directly, while Tutu was very well behaved and stayed in the living room on the second floor to look after the house.

Before, she always took Tutu out, which made Aoao a little jealous. In order to pamper the two dogs equally, she could only take turns going out.

In fact, it is not impossible to take both dogs out together, but it will attract too much attention, and the temperature outside is too high, and the two dogs may not like being outdoors.

For example, Aoao, who is usually noisy, probably because it was too hot, immediately lay down obediently on the chair at the back seat as soon as he got in the car. He didn't make any noise, but just kept dozing with his eyes closed.

When I passed by, I found that someone had started laying the foundation on the land where the fence was originally set up. Several workers built a large simple awning, which was actually a large piece of plastic film supported by wooden poles around it. This could block direct sunlight to a certain extent.

Seven or eight workers were working intensively, all of them were sweating profusely. There was a woman next to them holding a pot of water, which she passed to others from time to time. Before passing it to others each time, she would sprinkle some salt in the water.

The owner of this family is no ordinary person, as he was able to hire so many workers to start the work in this weather. At least he had the money.

I had a brief chat with Zhang's family when I delivered herbal tea to them. They said that not many people are willing to go to the construction site recently. Even if they are willing, the daily wage is already three times as much as before. Therefore, occasionally some people rely on their good physical fitness and will continue to work, hoping to make some extra money during this period.

I didn't think much about who my new neighbor next door is. Anyway, people who are willing to build their own houses these days must be rich or noble. After all, the price of buying land and building a house is much higher than the cost of renting a villa for a month.

Yu Liang said before that although the villa area is where the powerful and wealthy gather, in fact, only a small number of people actually own the property rights of the villa area.

Most of the people there just rent houses, and the monthly rent can be as high as five or six thousand points. Add in the water and electricity bills, daily maintenance of the garden, and property fees, etc., and the monthly cost will not be less than seven or eight thousand points.

Although there is no property right to the villa, it is already remarkable for someone to be able to afford to live in a villa area in the end times.

Gu Tongwan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. These days, classes are clearly divided everywhere. People talk about fairness, freedom and equality, but in reality, there is an invisible ladder between the rich and the poor.

Shaking off these thoughts from my mind, I quickly drove to the store. It was only seven o'clock in the morning.

When the rolling door of the shop was opened, a hot and unpleasant smell immediately filled the closed shop.

The weather has been hot recently. Even though the black-shelled cockroaches and mutant rats have been basically eliminated, there is still a small number of them that are resisting stubbornly. In addition, these two creatures reproduce very quickly, so in less than a week, cockroaches and rats can be vaguely seen occasionally appearing at night.

Gu Tongwan walked straight to the innermost room. After opening the door, he saw the repair robot lying quietly on the side, and its eyes that could originally emit light were now closed.

There are thirty or forty air conditioners in the room, and the repair robot should have handled them all. We just need to notify people to pull them back according to the time.

The first people she notified were the young couple who had come before. Less than half an hour after she made the call, at exactly eight o'clock, one of the boys drove over.

The boy was driving a mini van, and there was another man in the car, who should be the boy's friend and was called over to help today.

The two boys seemed to have a hard time carrying the air conditioner. Gu Tongwan just watched from the side and didn't plan to go up to help. Firstly, the two boys could move it even if it was a bit strenuous. Secondly, if she went up, it would only make the two of them look useless. She had good intentions, but others might think of her as a deliberate mockery. It would be better for her to just stand there quietly.

"Boss, can I give you the remaining points after I go back and check if there's any problem?"

"Of course, that's how it should be." Gu Tongwan said with a smile.

Instead, the boy next to him didn't understand and couldn't help but interrupt, "Boss, aren't you afraid of losing out by doing business this way? What if we don't acknowledge our debt when we go back, won't you just accept the loss?"

"Hey, can you say less? Why don't I admit it? Am I that kind of person?" The boy seemed a little angry at his friend's question, so he quickly looked at Gu Tongwan.

Gu Tongwan didn't mind this, and just smiled and said, "Business is all about mutual trust. If someone really defaults on their debt, I can't do anything about it, but that person will also be on my blacklist. If they have any electrical problems in the future, I won't fix them no matter how much they beg me to fix them. It's that simple."

"Then you still suffer a loss."

In fact, the boy’s friends saw that Gu Tongwan was pretty, so they deliberately chatted with her a few more words. However, they were also curious about the fact that she opened a store like this by herself, so it was inevitable that she would meet all kinds of people. Plus, she was a girl, so if she really suffered a loss, she wouldn’t be able to do anything to the other party.

Gu Tongwan shrugged, "Let's wait and see. The weather will be like this for a while anyway. The wear and tear of electrical appliances will only increase in the next few months. I have no shortage of business, and I can naturally choose who I am willing to trade with when the time comes."

The two boys looked at each other. They didn't expect her to be in such a good mood.

Maybe because they had been standing outside for too long, several people couldn't stand the temperature anymore. The boy's friend originally wanted to chat a little more and add another online friend, but the boy saw through his thoughts and quickly pulled his friend into the car.

As soon as we got in the car, my friend muttered, "Why did you stop me just now? I wanted to make a phone call."

"I said, can you calm down a bit? Weren't you pursuing that girl from the tea restaurant a while ago? How come you've fallen in love with someone else in the blink of an eye?"

"What do you know? I'm casting a wide net. The cashier girl at the tea restaurant is so pretentious. Isn't her father just a small manager of a company? The place he lives in is a little more upscale than mine. Every time I invite her out for dinner, I have to buy her something. She won't come out unless I buy something for her. Does she really think of me as an ATM?"

"Then do you think girls are easy to chase nowadays? Don't forget the current environment. Girls want to date someone who has a stable job. Although your family environment is good, it's time for you to find a job. Aren't you a psychic? Why don't you go to the Hunter Guild? At least you have a stable salary every month."

The man shook his head immediately after hearing this, "Stop. I don't want to be a hunter. This is a tiring job with risks. I value my life more. If anyone wants to do it, just go by themselves. Besides, I only have D-level abilities. At most, I can sense other people's emotions and control the TV channels. I can't do much more. If you ask me, just give me a fire or water ability user." The man complained about the various shortcomings of psychic abilities, and suddenly said, "But what's strange is that I didn't even sense the emotions of that beautiful girl just now. Could she also be an ability user?"

The man thought for a moment, and suddenly said with certainty: "It must be a psychic. I clearly couldn't feel any emotional fluctuations just now. This is not right. This feeling is the same as the psychics I met when I went to the Hunter Association to consult about something. As long as the level is much higher than mine, I can't spy on the other party's emotions and abilities. By the way, didn't you say that this boss lady is very mysterious? I have never seen a maintenance master. I guess there is no such a maintenance master. Maybe the boss lady did the maintenance herself, but the specific ability is not clear. Could she be a psychic evolved from the metal system?"

The boy couldn't stand his friend's mumbling, so he said, "Whether the boss lady has special abilities or not, it has nothing to do with us. Anyway, I advise you not to be so self-indulgent. You are not worthy of her."

"Why can't I be so high up as to be with her?" the friend yelled.

The boy sneered, "They make at least five figures a day running this shop. Didn't you see the air conditioner inside? And it seems that the boss lady is not short of money. She drives an SUV. What about you? Look at you. You have no salary and can only ask your parents for money. You also like to play games and don't look for a job. Do you think they will be interested in someone like you?"

The friend was so annoyed by the boy that she couldn't say a word, so she could only swallow her saliva, and took out a pot of water from the side and drank it down in a bad mood. What the hell, they are really good friends, how could they be so mean to themselves?

As soon as I shifted gears and started driving, I saw two cars coming in front of me, one of which was a famous brand.

It is probably very rare to see such a good car even in the inner circle, and since they are all boys, they are naturally quite interested in cars.

I found a car parked in front of the store. A man wearing a black and yellow striped shirt got out of the car. Four more men got out of the black Toyota sedan at the back. The four men wore sunglasses and short-sleeved T-shirts and were all very strong. However, this group of people came in an aggressive manner and did not look like they were here just to repair electrical appliances.

My friend glanced at the man in the lead and subconsciously asked in surprise: "Wait, isn't that Zheng Fan? Why is he here?"

The boy frowned and asked, "Zheng Fan? Who is that?"

"He is a well-known second-generation rich man in the circle. He is the youngest son of the third-in-command of the base. He is usually very arrogant and doesn't take other people seriously. It can be said that he is a glutton. He is addicted to eating, drinking, gambling and smoking. His reputation in the circle has long been rotten, but he has a good father, so he usually behaves arrogantly and offends many people, but no one dares to retaliate. Recently, it is said that he has climbed up to the 'Light Chaser'. Several times, he was seen entertaining the captain of the 'Light Chaser', Shen Lian, at his private mansion. Some people say that his father may want to win over Shen Lian, who has a stronger background, so that he can climb to the position of base leader in the next year's change of leadership."

My friend frowned again when he said this, and suddenly his expression became more serious. "It seems that the beautiful lady boss is in trouble. Zheng Fan is well-known for liking beautiful women. When he first entered the base, he caused a lot of trouble and even bullied young girls. That incident was quite a big deal. Logically, he should have been sent to the underground city for reform, but unfortunately, his father was capable and finally suppressed the incident."

The boy saw the man named Zheng Fan and his men entering the store, and asked worriedly, "Does he have a crush on the lady boss?"

My friend nodded solemnly, "That's probably the case. The boss lady is too pretty, and Zheng Fan is a pervert. He must have bad intentions and wants to force me into submission."

"I'll go down and take a look." The boy couldn't sit still after hearing this. He put his hands on the car door handle and wanted to get out, but was stopped by his friend.

"Hey, are you crazy? Didn't you hear what I just said? The person behind him is the third-in-command of the base, and it's not the first time he's done this. The little beast can still act so arrogantly in the base just because he's not afraid of causing trouble. Even the Security Bureau turns a blind eye. Who do you think you are and how can you care about this?" The friend grabbed the boy's elbow to stop him from getting out of the car. In fact, he knew very well that a powerful second-generation like Zheng Fan, who has a powerful background, can easily cover up the truth with the power in his hands, no matter it is the end of the world or before.

The boy was dragged and couldn't get out of the car. He could only watch Zheng Fan and the group of people enter the store.

At this time, Gu Tongwan was watching a variety show on her mobile phone in the store. She didn't look up when she heard footsteps. At first she thought it was a customer coming, but when a sound of smashing sounded in front of her, she frowned and looked up.

It turned out that the kettle that had been placed in the corner was kicked over by someone, and the only few glass containers on it also fell to the ground.

The person who did all this was Zheng Fan. He put his hands in his pockets and wore sunglasses on his nose to hide the corner of his eye that was bruised that day. But when he smiled, one could still see his missing front teeth.

"Madam boss, why don't you recognize me?"

Zheng Fan's voice was somewhat provocative, and his obscene eyes were still looking at her face. Especially when he saw that Gu Tongwan seemed to be more beautiful than before, he wanted to take her back to play with her immediately.

Gu Tongwan was still sitting. With the table blocking her way, she had already taken out a machete from the space in her hand. She held the handle of the knife in her palm, nodded, and said in a cold voice, "I recognize you. After all, it's rare to see someone as ugly as you."
