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

Yan Fan originally thought that she asked him to "move" because she was worried that he would be entangled by people from the "Success Guild", but he didn't expect that she would let him stay with her.

As for the piles of bricks and cement in the yard, he had already noticed it, and there was also a half-built small room there.

"Are you... just at ease with me moving in?" Yan Fan couldn't help but ask what was really in his mind, even though his strength was indeed not as good as hers, and might even be weaker than the two giant wolves in her house.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Aoao who was squatting beside the sofa and yawning, and Tutu who was licking his fur. There was a little more fear and alarm in his eyes.

Indeed, anyone who sees these two dogs would be terrified. It seems that one of them tore a C-level mutant to pieces alive in an instant last night.

Gu Tongwan knew that the young man in front of him had such a strong self-esteem that he would not allow himself to accept charity and pity from anyone for no reason. That was why he would rather take the risk to come and stop those people from the guild last night than be implicated by them.

"Why are you worried? Do you think you are stronger than me? Besides, I said I am investing in you, and I am not letting you live here for free. You have to go to the Great Ginseng Forest in the north once a month and get me the plants I want."

Seeing the astonishment in Yan Fan's eyes, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you enter the [Danger Zone] until your ability level reaches C. I will arrange for you to find some things I want in the safe zone for the time being."

When Yan Fan heard that he also had to pay some price, he not only did not feel that the condition was harsh, but he felt a little relieved.

He really didn't like to acknowledge favors, and would rather it was a fair deal or cooperation, with give and take, and he wouldn't have any burden in his heart.

Suddenly he felt a gaze staring at him, so he looked up and found that the person opposite him still had a playful smile on his face, as if waiting for his answer.

After Yan Fan's heart knot was resolved, he was no longer so reserved and fearful. "Thank you. If one day you need me to do something, as long as it does not violate my personal principles, I will try my best to help you."

"So you agree?" Gu Tongwan asked with a smile.

Yan Fan rarely showed a smile. "I am very grateful to have a place to stay. I am not stupid, so how could I not agree? Besides... at least it is more comfortable than sleeping under the bridge. No one will grab the spot, and I don't have to worry about being driven away."

During this period, he was simply fighting a guerrilla war with the patrol team. Every day he had to hide from the patrol team composed of volunteers. Once they found someone in the bridge hole, they would start using the loudspeaker to warn. Several times he was frightened awake in his sleep, so he had to "pack up and leave", and then come back after the patrol team left.

"Okay, since you've already decided, you can fix the house outside tonight. You can sleep in the lobby on the first floor until it's done. But I don't like too much noise. As for water and electricity, there's no need to be too particular. Just use what you need. Okay, you can take a rest first. There are some clothes I prepared on the sofa. Don't feel burdened. If you really feel like you owe me something, then you can go to the northern forest and get me some things I need. I'll go upstairs for a nap first. I have to go out later, and you have to go with me."

Watching her walking up the stairs slowly in slippers and yawning, the two dogs behind her also got up and followed their owner slowly, even wagging their tails.

Yan Fan remembered that he seemed to have to do some business with the woman at the juice stall last night at noon. Could it be that she had gone out early in the morning to prepare the fruits?

Although he had many questions in his mind at this time, he also knew that when you are under someone's roof, you sometimes need to turn a deaf ear to many things and appropriately ignore them.

Just like she had never asked about the level of her supernatural powers, his current relationship with her was not close enough to dig into each other's secrets.

But the only thing that is certain is that she is at least not the kind of person who stabs you in the back.

When I returned to the sofa, I saw a set of clean sportswear, a set of casual clothes, and even men's underwear neatly stacked on it.

Yan Fan's face was filled with heat, and he wanted to rush up several times to say that there was no need to prepare private clothes...

But thinking that doing so would make me seem to care a lot, I just suppressed the awkwardness, took a set of clothes and went to the bathroom.

In fact, this box of underwear was just something Gu Tongwan found randomly in her space. When she was shopping for free, she could go shopping in the clothing section of the department store, and basically all the new products were thrown into her space. In addition, there were not many men around her when she was a child, and Yan Fan was six or seven years younger than her, so she completely treated him as a little kid, and never thought that teenagers in puberty are at a sensitive age.

Yan Fan downstairs used his special powers to calm himself down a little, and the embarrassment and shame were slightly relieved.

At 11:40 in the morning, Gu Tongwan took an hour's sleep upstairs, then took a disguise pill, put on a wig and beard, and changed into men's clothes. When Yan Fan saw her like this downstairs, he was not as surprised as before.

"I have prepared some things upstairs, but since the distance is short this time, I didn't put any ice cubes. I put them in a cardboard box. You may need to use your supernatural powers to keep them refrigerated and fresh during the journey.

"Ok, no problem."

Gu Tongwan then took Yan Fan up to the second floor. This time there were four cardboard boxes in the hall, each containing 50 kilograms of fruit, one box of apples and one box of pears.

And just now when she was at the stairs, she smelled a fruity fragrance. Generally speaking, only fresh fruits can have this fragrance. Now, let alone fresh fruits, the fruits after the apocalypse basically lack fragrance and sweetness. So her "friend" who was just playing with her for fun was definitely not simple. Could he be a plant-type mutant?

However, there have been no reports of plant-based psychics being able to restore soil or change the taste of fruits and vegetables. The current understanding of plant-based psychics announced within the base is that they can manipulate all plant life forms, such as making plants grow indefinitely, making plants move, or bringing dying plants back to life.

Basically, all plants cultivated in the inner circle have to be inspected by plant-related psychics before they are allowed to be planted in the base. After all, only plants brought back from the big forest in the north can survive.

There were not many fruits this time. After loading two of the four boxes into the car, Yan Fan immediately activated his ice ability. This was much more convenient than directly turning on the air conditioner in the car for cooling. In less than five minutes, the temperature in the car dropped to about 30 degrees.

Ice powers are really convenient in extremely hot weather...

Gu Tongwan suddenly felt a little envious of Yan Fan. Up to now, she seemed to have only one spatial ability, which she couldn't tell anyone about. The blood vine was also a special reward given by the system space. Apart from that, she seemed to have not awakened any other abilities.

But she was not greedy. At least her spatial ability helped her get through the most difficult days in the early days. And now with the upgrading and development of the space, the space has become a secret space for her.

However, she is currently eager to buy land and build a house at the base in order to take precautions. After all, she doesn't know when her personal space will disappear. Before the space disappears, she has to find a way to survive with her current assets or accumulated materials.

When the dungeon opens in the future, she can buy a slightly larger house, one of the rooms of which can be used to store some food or supplies that have a shelf life as long as possible and can be kept at room temperature and are not easy to spoil.

The place they agreed on was not far away. It took about forty minutes to drive from the inner circle to the agreed place.

When driving out during the day, there are only bare hills and slopes on both sides of the base. The soil corroded by acid rain after the apocalypse can no longer grow any plants, so the scenery on both sides looks extremely desolate, and everything appears distorted under the high temperature.

The car was not driving very fast along the way. There were cracks in many places on this road after the earthquake. The road surface was severely damaged due to frequent driving. In addition, she did not want to put too much burden on the tires, so she maintained a speed of 60 miles per hour.

When we were almost there, we saw a temporary rest stop. This rest stop was previously an abandoned gas station. There were not many traces of it left from the outside, except for a row of separate vacant rooms inside, where people would usually take a short rest.

After Gu Tongwan got off the car, he saw two men and a woman walking out of the house.

"Both of them are superpowers." Yan Fan said when he got off the car.

Gu Tongwan nodded, "I saw one of them that night. He is an ice-type mutant like you. I don't know who the other one is, but his level should not be high."

In fact, I can understand the other party's thoughts. This kind of transaction cannot be done alone. If one of the two parties has bad intentions, the loss will not only be money, but even a life.

After getting off the car, the female owner of the juice shop immediately came to greet me.

"Boss Gu, you're finally here." The female boss had a smile on her face, and the uneasiness in her eyes immediately relaxed.

Gu Tongwan knew that she was wondering if she was going to be stood up because of her lateness.

"I'm sorry, the road conditions were not very good. I didn't dare to drive fast, so I was slightly delayed."

"It's okay, it's okay. We didn't wait too long." The female boss responded casually, but the younger man behind her had a worried look on his face. They had arrived half an hour early, and including the time they were late, they had waited for nearly forty minutes in total.

If it was normal weather, it wouldn't be a problem, but now the outdoor temperature is 60 degrees, and even if you hide in the house, it's still very hot. Fortunately, my brother-in-law has ice abilities, which can somewhat lower the air temperature around him, otherwise I would have suffered from heatstroke long ago.

As soon as Gu Tongwan got off the car, the female boss's eyes were fixed on the car, as if she was afraid that he had forgotten to bring something.

"Don't worry, since we have reached a cooperation, I will never forget it, you don't have to worry about it."

The female boss's thoughts were probably exposed, so she explained a little embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't trust Boss Gu, but I have encountered many people who cheated in the name of cooperation before."

The younger brother of the female boss next to them immediately interrupted when they saw that the topic was being discussed: "And they are all people from the base, most of them are small bosses in the commercial street. They said they wanted to buy fruit from my sister, and required half of the payment to be paid first when the transaction was face to face, and the rest could not be paid until we returned to the base. Or they said that the network outside was not good and they could not withdraw money from the points card. We gave the goods because they lived in the inner circle of the base and felt that their financial situation should be okay. We didn't expect that these days scammers don't care about whether you are rich or poor. With such character, there is nothing we can do." At this point, the young man seemed to be particularly angry, and it was not known whether it was because the weather was too hot or because he got angry, his face turned red and sparks were about to come out of his eyes.

"We are not talking about someone like Mr. Gu. After all, you brought the goods from far away. Previously, we were the supplier who picked up the goods for the other party, so it was easier for us to suffer losses."

"It's okay, we understand. Let's take a look at the goods first." Gu Tongwan didn't mind that the other party only paid 300 points. In fact, normally, her batch of goods was worth at least 6,000 or 7,000 points, but the advance payment paid by the other party was less than 10%, which was actually risky for the supplier. At this time, it was a question of trust between the two parties. If she didn't trust the other party, she could just take the 300 points. Anyway, the other party was outside the base, and it would be difficult to come in and find him; or the other party would keep delaying the balance after receiving her batch of goods, which would result in her losing several thousand points.

In fact, Gu Tongwan was also gambling, gambling on a partner with whom he could cooperate for a long time.

It is not enough to simply rely on Sister Pan from the black market. You cannot put all your eggs in one basket. If the basket breaks, all your eggs will be wasted.

Four cardboard boxes had just been moved down here, and a fruity fragrance that I hadn't smelled for a long time, or perhaps for many years, wafted into my nose.

The female boss's eyes lit up instantly, and she even pushed away the brother who was blocking her way, with an inexplicable excitement flashing on her face.

"Is this a Red Fuji apple? And is this a Crown pear?"

She had grown these two kinds of fruits in her orchard before the end of the world, so she was not unfamiliar with them. She could even tell their varieties at a glance.

It can be said that these two varieties can no longer be found in the entire base, or even in the entire black market plantation. It’s not because there are no seeds, but because of the soil, climate and plant diversity. As plants evolve, the fruits and vegetables that people see in their daily lives have changed their taste. Instead of becoming more delicious, they have gradually become a new species that humans can no longer eat.

The proprietress carefully picked up a crown pear and even wiped it with a handkerchief. Looking at the light yellow and slightly rough pear skin, she could not help but nod repeatedly, "It's a real crown pear." Then she raised her head and looked at Gu Tongwan, her voice trembling: "Boss Gu, how did you do this?"
