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

On the 25th day of extreme heat, the temperature gradually stabilized, but the outdoor temperature was still over 60 degrees during the day. The highest temperature in some areas of the Northern Hemisphere has exceeded 78 degrees Celsius. Except for government departments, all companies and shops in the base have been completely shut down. In order to reduce the number of heat stroke incidents caused by high temperatures, the base has adopted the form of selling supplies by mobile vehicles in different areas and blocks to allow residents in the base to supplement their daily food needs.

Currently, water and electricity are limited, and water is supplied from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. daily. The power supply time is changed to 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. daily. This will ensure that electricity and water usage in the base can continue to operate normally for some time to come.

As for the purchase of supplies, the supply and marketing cooperatives have changed their open days to Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Four days a week, people can go to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the area to buy the food or supplies they need, but each person is limited to three portions. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, the government arranges vehicles to transport supplies to various blocks for sale, and each person is limited to one portion.

This arrangement is also a feasible policy for the government to minimize heat stroke and sunburn caused by residents going out.

However, this would also cause a phenomenon: residents would panic due to the purchase restrictions on supplies. Every time the supply and marketing cooperative was open, there would always be hundreds or even thousands of residents queuing outside, and the base would have to dispatch a large number of Self-Defense Forces to maintain order on the scene.

In the end, there was really no other way, so the government had to divide the blocks, and no one was allowed to buy across areas. The purchasing time was all scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. the next day, which meant that the operation was changed to night time. This would greatly avoid sunburn caused by queuing.

This policy has been gradually accepted by residents and has been progressing smoothly. However, due to the weather, the prices of all supplies have been increased by at least 30% compared to when it was extremely hot.

Although residents of the base protested and complained about rising prices for a while, they still had to buy what they needed to buy, especially staple foods, which were almost always sold out as soon as they went on sale at the supply and marketing cooperatives. The only things that seemed impractical, such as household items, were the only ones that no one was interested in.

Ever since he solved the problem of the "Success Guild", Gu Tongwan has been staying at home. He also visited the forum several times to search for relevant information, but he did not find any news about the murder of Hou Cheng, the president of the "Success Guild". It seems that the government has suppressed the news.

I heard Jiang Tian mention it once in private. It seems that a small guild in the inner circle was recently attacked by the evil cult "Illuminati". The guild was almost wiped out. It seems that the president was replaced in the end. However, this guild in the circle issued a "Jianghu Hunting Order", and it seems that a reward of nearly 10,000 points was offered for the murder of the former guild leader. At the same time, another guild also issued the same "Jianghu Hunting Order".

Because this matter spread quickly in the hunter circle, Jiang Tian knew the inside story better than others. When she talked about it with Gu Tongwan, she was not surprised, as if this kind of hunting order was common in the circle.

However, Jiang Tian complained about the recent hot weather. She couldn't go out hunting or take missions and could only stay at home honestly. The hunter promotion exam was also temporarily shelved. She also said that if it weren't for this weather, she would have gone to have a small gathering with Gu Tongwan.

Gu Tongwan comforted the little girl online for a few words, and then said that there would be plenty of opportunities sooner or later, and this extreme heat would not last too long.

According to the duration of the second extreme heat in the previous life, this extreme heat lasted only less than forty days. Although the order of natural disasters has changed in this life, the duration of each disaster is almost the same. Therefore, it can be said to a large extent that although the order is different, the duration should be consistent.

Gu Tongwan was standing at the second-floor window with a cup of hand-made lemon tea filled with ice cubes in his hand, looking out through the glass window. A small house of about 11 or 12 square meters had appeared in the corner of the yard. When he saw it last night, it had not yet been roofed, but when he got up this morning, he saw that it had been completely completed. It was estimated that people could live in it in two days.

Gu Tongwan, who had already decided to build a good relationship with this future S-level ice-type mutant, found a folding bed that was 90 centimeters wide and 1.9 meters long in the space. This was a batch of goods he had purchased from the outdoor goods store before. There were currently three such folding beds in the space, which could be used when he went out on missions in the future.

In fact, there is a bed in the space, but the small room is too small. If a 1.5-meter bed is placed in it, the space will seem even more cramped.

There is no kitchen or washing area in the room, so after moving in, Yan Fan still needs to go back to the washroom in the living room on the first floor to wash up.

However, Yan Fan had nothing to complain about as long as he had a place to settle down. It was much better than sleeping in a bridge hole, where he didn't know when he would be bitten by mutant rats or black-shelled cockroaches.

Gu Tongwan was worried that Yan Fan would feel bad eating and drinking for free, so she usually asked him to clean her house occasionally. He mainly cleaned the living room on the second floor, and Yan Fan was not allowed to set foot in other rooms.

We can’t grow vegetables in the yard right now, so we’ll have to think of a way later.

Although various purchase restrictions were implemented in the base, the frequency of the black market opening increased to once a week. This allowed Gu Tongwan to deliver the second batch of vegetables to Sister Pan and Cai Min in just two weeks, including cucumbers and a batch of fresh lettuce, and made a profit of 20,000 points again in less than a week.

At present, she has saved nearly 70,000 points in the base, but it is still far from enough to buy a house, so she has to continue to make money. If she guessed correctly, the extreme heat will fade in less than a month, and the next natural disaster will follow.

However, due to the butterfly effect, she is still unsure what the next natural disaster will be, extreme cold? Heavy rain? Or acid rain? Everything is unknown. For now, all she can do is live well.

Yan Fan was also at home in the evening. There was one more person eating recently, so Gu Tongwan was never stingy with dinner. However, most of the food was given by Aunt Man and placed in the space, which was just enough to meet his needs during this period of time.

The evening meal was braised mutant meat canned with fried potatoes and some semolina bread. She only ate a symbolic amount each time, always saying that she wasn't hungry because she didn't exercise much, so most of the food ended up in Yan Fan's stomach.

In fact, the truth is that she really can't like these foods. The mutant canned meat always has a strange smell, and the high-temperature potatoes don't have any fragrance. The texture is still quite dense, but the bread is like eating crumbs, and the taste is simply terrible.

So every time after finishing her meal, she could only run to her room to prepare a special meal for herself and have a midnight snack to make up for it.

"You still need a table in your room. I know the owner of a furniture store. I'll go with you to buy a small table there someday."

"Sister Wanwan, there's no need to go to so much trouble. It's good enough to have a bed to sleep on." Yan Fan is a contented person and doesn't ask for too much. During this period, he can live on the sofa in the living room with a soft sofa and pillow under him. Compared with sleeping on the hard concrete floor, it is like the difference between heaven and hell.

"A table is still necessary in case you want to eat or write in your room. You don't have to be polite to me. I told you that I am the initial investment, and you can pay me back when you have made progress in the future." Will the future S-level boss be short of that little bit of money?

After thinking for a while, she added, "Besides, when you were transporting goods for me a few days ago, you used your special powers to preserve the vegetables. Didn't that also help me a lot?"

The black market happened to be open these two days, and Sister Pan and Cai Min still needed to deliver goods, so she would bring Yan Fan along. It would be a shame not to use such a free big refrigerator.

Not only that, taking advantage of the slightly lower temperature at night, Gu Tongwan would also take an hour every night to teach Yan Fan how to drive.

Apart from anything else, after only one week of learning, Yan Fan was able to drive on the road normally, but it would take some time before he could drive alone.

The potion obtained from Hou Cheng has been kept in Gu Tongwan's space. She originally planned to give it to Chen Yanxi, but he seemed to have returned to Kyoto for something recently, so the matter was temporarily shelved. During this period, with the intervention of the government and the Hunter Association, the terrorist attacks have been brought under control, and it seems that many fugitives who had escaped from the South District Prison have been captured.

When I killed Hou Cheng before, I also received an extra system reward, which was an additional 20 system points and a L barrel of gasoline.

Could it be that the system is the worm in my stomach? I have been driving frequently during this period and have consumed about 30L of gasoline. I didn't expect to make it back in one go.

This can be considered an unexpected surprise.

Yan Fan moved into the small house on the third night after it was built. His luggage was pitifully small. Apart from the sportswear that Gu Tongwan had given him before, he borrowed Gu Tongwan's electric scooter and went to the second-hand market in the outer circle. He searched around for a long time before he found one that was open for business. In the end, he spent more than 300 points that he had saved up hard to buy two sets of casual clothes and two new pairs of underwear. If these were bought before the extreme heat, the second-hand clothes would have cost a little over 200 points at most. But there was nothing he could do. People were still working hard to open a store in such hot weather, so it was normal for them to raise prices.

The table that Gu Tongwan had agreed to give him was also purchased. She bought it from the store where she had custom-made furniture before. Fortunately, the table was in stock at that store, and the previous dealings with Gu Tongwan were very smooth, so the boss did not ask for an exorbitant price. He just increased the price by about 10% and sold her a handmade small round table for one thousand points. Although it was small, it was enough for Yan Fan to use it to eat or put a kettle and cups.

In addition, she also found a coat rack in the space and specially selected a less complicated and fancy style for him to use, so that even if there is no wardrobe, the clothes can be temporarily hung on the rack.

Fortunately, Yan Fan is an ice-type mutant, so he doesn't feel stuffy even if he stays in such a small room at night. Otherwise, if he were a fire-type mutant, he would probably spontaneously combust.

I have time to continue planting the latest batch of fruits in the space. This batch is still grapes. They are Kyoho grapes that are rarely sold on the market. When I first entered the base, I went to inquire about the price. Those Kyoho grapes that looked of varying quality and were not even the size of a thumb could be sold for nearly fifty points per catty. When the weather is extremely hot, greenhouse grapes are occasionally sold, but the price is so expensive that even the "petty white-collar workers" with decent jobs in the inner circle are deterred from buying. It costs 70 points per catty, and an ordinary bunch of grapes is nearly a day and a half's salary for them.

However, Grape on Gu Tongwan's side only plans to cooperate with Cai Min's family. Firstly, the price offered by this family is indeed very high. Secondly, the distance between the Wanderers Organization and the base is relatively far, and business exchanges are generally only conducted on the black market, so there is no need to worry that the Cai family will reveal their whereabouts. Moreover, she is also using a fake identity, and she tries to swipe the points card outside the base. However, for convenience, she recently plans to let Yan Fan make a new brand name card.

Yan Fan had been with him for less than two weeks. Perhaps because he had gotten enough nutrition, his originally thin face gradually became plump, his deep eyebrows and eyes became clearer, and even his height seemed to have grown by one or two centimeters. He was completely different from the skinny guy before.

In this case, Gu Tongwan simply thought of getting a fake identity for Yan Fan, just like when the proprietress took Lan Cen to the Security Bureau to register for household registration. He just needed to give Yan Fan's identity card to Xiehun first, and then get another one with a new identity. It would just cost a little more money, but in the future, when doing business, it would be much more convenient to use Yan Fan's name tag directly instead of using her own.

She was not worried that Yan Fan would run away. Firstly, Yan Fan had just settled down in a place and it was impossible for him to betray her at this critical moment. Secondly, she was also gambling that the future big boss would not run away for such a small amount of money.

After thinking about this, I continued to harvest the grapes planted last month in advance and added accelerator fertilizers to the farmland like crazy. This field can be accelerated by at least 10%, so the grapes planted in the first two months matured quickly.

Moreover, there is a natural artificial sun and suitable temperature in the space, and even an automatic watering function, so the Kyoho grapes grown are large and plump, and the sweetness is amazing. The wine made from the first batch of grapes is already drinkable. One sip has both the aroma of grapes and the mellow aroma of wine. It even tastes better than the wine bought in the supermarket before the end of the world.

However, she had previously obtained a batch of foreign liquor and homemade liquor produced at the base from Hou Cheng. She didn't know if she could sell them on the black market. After all, she usually only drank fruit wine that she brewed herself. These liquors would just be left in the space, so it would be better to sell them all.

While Gu Tongwan was busy tidying up the orchard in the space, she didn't know that the fruits and vegetables she sold to the Cai family suddenly caused quite a stir in the wanderer base camp.
