Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 386 Night Intruder
Gu Tongwan first turned on the lights in the living room.
In an instant, the originally dark living room was illuminated by lights. Yan Fan, who was trapped in a corner, suddenly raised his hand to block the glaring light above his head.
There were also bursts of low growling sounds similar to those of wild beasts coming from the front, like wolves and dogs. He could even imagine the fishy wind that was brought by the sharp claws when they grabbed him just now.
"Aoao, stand back!"
At this moment, a cold and slightly high-pitched female voice sounded with a stern tone, and Yan Fan felt that the huge black shadow was slowly retreating.
The pain in his shoulder made Yan Fan unable to move. He could no longer tell whether the sweat on his back was hot or cold. He could only breathe heavily, and the can of meat in his hand was deformed by his tight squeeze.
In fact, if the giant wolf really intended to tear him to pieces, he could only use the last bit of his supernatural power to use the ice cone to deal with it. However, he knew very well that even so, he would eventually run out of power and die under the claws of the beast.
Yan Fan raised his head and saw that the owner of the voice was a young woman who was only a few years older than him. The woman had her hair loose and had a beautiful face, but what could not be ignored was the aura emanating from the woman. She always held a baton in her hand, which was about one meter long. A giant black wolf at least two meters tall stood up beside her. Not only that, after a low growl, Yan Fan's pupils constricted, and a giant white wolf with shiny hair appeared at the stairs.
The reason why Yan Fan was so sure that these were two giant wolves and not canines was because he had seen the two Siberian dogs with wolf-like blood raised by the prison guards when he was in the South District Prison.
It is said that the Siberian dog was raised by the warden himself. He killed a Siberian dog while hunting in the Dasanlin in the north, and found two puppies in the mother dog's arms. The warden then brought one home and has been raising it ever since.
Yan Fan had seen that Siberian dog before. It was at least 1.7 or 1.8 meters tall when standing up. It looked more like a wolf than other canines, and it liked raw meat. Before the extreme heat came, the warden often took his dog to the northern forest to hunt. It was said that this was to give his dog a full meal. Later, when the extreme heat came, the warden had no choice but to pay for canned meat out of his own pocket. However, it was said that this Siberian dog could eat nearly 20 to 30 cans of meat in one meal. Over time, the warden's wallet could not support it.
However, for a period of time, due to the hot weather, some elderly people or those with other physical problems in the prison gradually could not hold on. Every night they either died suddenly in their sleep or died in group fights.
Under normal circumstances, the bodies will be transported to the health center, which usually has a two-story "morgue". The bodies will usually only stay there for two days. Only after the relatives have dealt with other matters will they sign the cremation consent form. Finally, the bodies will be sent to the body incinerator outside the base, which has a large furnace factory mainly used to burn bodies. However, not all bodies are human. Some are animal bodies that have no edible value or are gradually rotting nearby for fear of causing health hazards.
Unlike before the end of the world, all objects burned here will eventually be scattered into the pit and will not be returned to relatives.
But if you meet someone who is determined to get the ashes back, you will need to spend a considerable amount of extra money to buy a porcelain bottle, and then part of the ashes will be put in the porcelain bottle and sent back.
Of course, because the price is really not cheap, most people will still choose "dust to dust, earth to earth", even if they are sad, there is nothing they can do about it, after all, the living still need to continue living.
Gu Tongwan was somewhat surprised that the person who broke into his home was a little kid of about seventeen or eighteen years old. The boy was thin, and the part of his wrist that was exposed was as thin as a bamboo pole, almost skin and bones. He was dressed in tattered clothes, and the shirt he was wearing was covered with mud and the color could not be seen vaguely, but it could be vaguely recognized as a prison uniform. The boy's hairstyle was like a chicken coop, but his eyes were as clear as beautiful stars.
However, she did not feel soft-hearted just because the other party was young. After all, in the apocalypse, five-year-old kids have learned how to set traps and deceive people. The human heart is the most difficult thing to guess. What's more, the other party sneaked into her house in the middle of the night. Isn't this obviously a crime?
Although Aoao didn't bite him to death, seeing the blood flowing from his shoulder, he must have been unable to escape.
Seeing him suddenly close his eyes and stand still as if he accepted his fate, Gu Tongwan sneered, "It's no use pretending to be dead now. Since you can sneak into my house, it at least proves that you are a supernatural being, right?"
Both the yard and the gate were made of the best locks, and even the wall was about two and a half meters high, with barbed wire on top. She was quite curious about how he got in.
"The quality of your door is quite good, but the structure of the lock is too simple. Anyone with some experience can get in with just a little prying." Yan Fan muttered to himself, but was unwilling to open his eyes.
Gu Tongwan was startled, then walked to the door to check the keyhole, and indeed there were signs of looseness, which meant that the boy did not break in, but used some special things to pry the lock.
"What tools did you use?" There are very few tools for picking locks that will not damage the lock core.
Yan Fan had lost the strength to struggle, so he bit his lip as if accepting his fate. Finally, he opened his eyes and rubbed his fingers slightly, and a small piece of frost formed on his fingertips.
The fluctuation of his supernatural power is very small, which means that his supernatural power has reached its bottom.
"You are an ice-type mutant." Gu Tongwan suddenly realized. No wonder he could come in so easily. He simply used the special properties of the ice element to freeze the lock core and transform it into the shape of a key, so that he could get a complete key.
Yan Fan nodded with some pain, and then didn't say another word. It was as if he was... waiting to die?
Gu Tongwan lowered his eyes and thought about the news he saw today. A riot broke out in the South District Prison. More than a hundred prisoners took the opportunity to escape and several prison guards were killed.
There were also several explosions that occurred in the block in the afternoon, as well as the aura of other superpowers remaining on this young man. Although it was very faint, it was very chaotic.
However, the blood vine was still very quiet at this time, which meant that Yan Fan posed no threat to him for the time being.
In fact, blood vines are very sensitive to malice and danger. It can be said that when a malicious person approaches them, the blood vines will become restless.
But at this moment, the blood vine is just the opposite and has been in a dormant state.
Gu Tongwan glanced at the place where Yan Fan was injured. It seemed that Aoao had shown mercy just now. You know, if Aoao was really serious, he could tear the person in half with one claw.
Seeing the boy's rolling throat and the can in his hand, Gu Tongwan asked: "Why didn't you use your superpowers to fight back just now? Even if you couldn't dodge, you could at least resist, right?"
"It's too fast, I can't do anything, and..." There was embarrassment and discomfort in the boy's eyes, but it was more of a strong shame after being caught stealing, so he kept his head down and didn't dare to look Gu Tongwangang in the eye.
After a moment of silence, Yan Fan continued, "I also raised a Samoyed when I was a child, but when it was extremely hot, there was no water, so I couldn't kill the dog."
Gu Tongwan crossed his arms over his chest and said lightly, "But the concave-convex is black."
Yan Fan: "..."
"Okay, stand up and come with me." Gu Tongwan turned on the air conditioner on the first floor, so that the temperature could drop a little. However, the temperature on the first floor was still around 40 degrees. She felt sticky all over as soon as she went downstairs.
Yan Fan followed her, holding his injured shoulder, and found that she took him to the dining table in the living room and said to him, "Wait for me here, and you'd better not move."
As soon as he finished speaking, he found that she turned around and went upstairs again. Yan Fan's eyes flickered. He just stood up and wanted to leave, but he found that the two giant wolves in front of him were still staring at him hungrily. Their yellow-brown pupils reflected a disdainful light, as if if he dared to leave the dining table, they would see him become their prey.
About five minutes passed, but these five minutes seemed extremely long to Yan Fan, as if five days had passed.
Hearing the "tapping" sound of slippers hitting the wooden floor at the stairs, Yan Fan saw the beautiful woman coming down the stairs again, and this time she was holding a plastic box in her hand.
He took out the sterilized cotton swabs, iodine, and gauze, and also took out some Yunnan Baiyao, but these things were just placed in front of him and there was no next step.
"What? Are you still thinking of me applying medicine for you? Don't forget that you are a thief who breaks into people's houses at night. Don't even think about such a good thing." Gu Tongwan raised his eyebrows with a hint of smile in his tone, which immediately made Yan Fan lower his head in embarrassment.
This boy still has some sense of shame, at least he's not that bad. But even so, Gu Tongwan has no reason to sympathize with her. After all, if anyone could break into his house, it would be a mess.
Yan Fan took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "No need. I'm sorry about what happened this time. If you plan to send me to the Security Bureau, I have nothing to say."
"Security Bureau? Didn't you just get out of the South District Prison? Do you still want to go in?"
Gu Tongwan's words made Yan Fan raise his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise, but then he thought of the shame that the clothes on his body represented, and lowered his head again, his shoulders trembling slightly, "What difference does it make whether I can go in or not, as long as I don't go hungry."
She could sense that the boy had a strong character and didn't open his mouth to complain, which was good, because what she feared most was someone who started out playing the victim.
"Alright, quickly bandage the wound. If the wound gets infected, you will face the risk of amputation in the future."
At this time, Yan Fan still had no intention of taking action, so Gu Tongwan smiled and said, "Don't think I'm exaggerating. Besides, you can see that my dog is a mutant. As for whether its teeth are poisonous or not, I'm not sure..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yan Fan's face turned a little paler. He frowned and immediately reached out to pour iodine on the wound. He grimaced in pain, but he could bear it and didn't say a word during the whole process.
However, it can be seen that his movements were not awkward, probably because he was often injured, so he treated the wounds quickly. However, he hesitated for a moment when he saw the iodine tincture and Yunnan Baiyao, and only started to use them after carefully identifying what they were.
It’s not that Yan Fan doesn’t know these medicines. At least he always had them at home before the end of the world. But after the end of the world, medicines have become almost the most precious resource. Various factions and forces have been trying their best to compete for medical resources. However, several large institutions under the research institute are still controlled by the capital base.
As far as Yan Fan knows, the medicines usually available in ordinary families in the outer circle are some common cold granules and hemostatic bandages. Disinfectant medical supplies such as alcohol and iodine tincture can only be obtained by going to the health center to find a doctor and get a medical certificate. Doctors will hardly prescribe hemostatic drugs like Yunnan Baiyao for you. These drugs are generally used by the military at the base, and a lot of them are consumed every year.
So when he saw Gu Tongwan taking out these things without seeming to feel any regret, he thought of the rumors he heard in prison, that a small number of people living in the inner circle were either rich or noble, and lived a luxurious and decadent life.
Just like the woman in front of me, she lives in such a nice house alone and still has the money to keep a pet, and there seems to be a car parked in the yard.
Yan Fan took a deep breath, bit the bandage to bandage the wound, then raised his head and said calmly: "You can call the police."
"Call the police? Calling the police and arresting you won't do me any good. Can you compensate me for the canned food?"
Gu Tongwan sneered, but turned around and pointed at the door. "You can leave now. Also, take away the food you have eaten. I generally won't touch things that others have touched."
Yan Fan frowned in astonishment, "You're just going to let me go like this?"
"Since you have been scratched by Aoao, you have received a lesson. If I have to say something, you should be thankful that you did not use your supernatural power when Aoao attacked you, otherwise you would have no choice but to lie down now."
Yan Fan bit his cheek, and finally, holding the canned food and a few loaves of bread that were scattered on the ground, he disappeared out of the yard with a lonely back.
However, when I left the yard, I vaguely heard someone behind me say, "There is a largest labor market near the trade city about five kilometers away from here."
Yan Fan tightened his grip on the can slightly, took a deep breath, and looked at the dark sky without a single star. The bitterness in his heart gradually dissipated.
Only after watching Yan Fan leave did Gu Tongwan draw the curtains.
In fact, she had seen this boy before, near a brick factory in the outer circle. The reason she remembered him was that the boy, who was being ordered around, gave half of the sweet potato he took out of his pocket to a blind old man nearby.
Although I was just watching the various aspects of life at that time, I didn't expect to meet this young man here. However, compared to before, he didn't seem to be living well.
Gu Tongwan couldn't be considered to be helping him. After all, everyone has his own destiny, and no one can be a Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.
"Aoao, go back to your room. I'll give you an extra watermelon as a reward today."
