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

Although Chen Yanxi was wearing a full set of black clothes, his broad shoulders and narrow waist, his height of nearly 1.9 meters, his sturdy figure, and his solemn and murderous aura that could not be ignored made him stand out from others even in a crowd.

After not seeing each other for more than 20 days, the coldness and loneliness in Chen Yanxi seemed to become more and more obvious. I wonder if it has anything to do with his own special abilities.

However, the frost ability he used was obviously different from Yan Fan's ice ability. The frost Chen Yanxi used last time was a crystal. The frost looked more transparent in the sun, like crystal. The frost could not be touched easily. Once touched, it would freeze instantly. And there was no sign of melting under the sun.

The ice blocks catalyzed by the ice power used by Yan Fan are thick but have extremely strong attack power and can instantly penetrate the target. The disadvantage is that if they encounter the flames of a fire power user, they will melt instantly and easily turn into water under high temperatures. The freezing range is generally between a few meters and hundreds of meters.

However, special abilities are much stronger than single abilities in terms of coverage area and damage. For example, the shadow ability in the special system can manipulate the shadow of anything. Currently, there is only one A-level shadow ability user in country W in the world. It is said that he is also treated as a key protected person and has his own personal guild.

There are also light-related abilities among the special abilities, which can drive away darkness and illuminate all mutant beasts lurking in the dark. There are also blood-related abilities, entanglement-related abilities, etc. These special abilities account for a very small proportion of the total number of abilities in the world, and only one or two people with some abilities can be found in a country each year.

Currently, only three people with Chen Yanxi's frost ability have been discovered in China, and Chen Yanxi is the only one who can reach the S level.

In fact, I have dealt with Chen Yanxi once before using this identity. It's not that I can't let him know that I am trading on the black market, but it always feels a little awkward if I let him know my current identity.

Gu Tongwan lowered her head subconsciously, as if trying not to attract the other party's attention, but in that instant, she could feel a strong and sharp gaze like a blade staring at her.

In fact, not only Gu Tongwan, but even Yan Fan also sensed that powerful supernatural power.

This was the first time Yan Fan encountered such a radiating sense of oppression. The other party did not release any supernatural aura or pressure, but the cold gaze that seemed to have been dormant in the darkness for a long time made people feel extremely suffocated. This made Yan Fan subconsciously tense his body, and he even began to secretly activate the supernatural powers in his body. If the situation was not right, he would need to fight back immediately.

Yan Fan felt the man walking towards their stall step by step, until he was only a few dozen centimeters away. His tall and slender figure was pulled into a diagonal line by the street lights behind him. Perhaps because the coldness from him was too creepy, passers-by would consciously avoid him and would not even dare to look him in the eye.

"How much is it?"

The man's voice was low and deep, but very penetrating. Yan Fan saw a pair of cold white hands picking up a bottle of homemade wine in front of them.

Looking up from this distance, I felt that the man was taller than I had imagined, and he was wearing something like an outdoor tights, which made him look solid and strong but not with exaggerated muscles. Instead, he had a tight and powerful body, and his legs below the waist were basically long.

But the most eye-catching thing was the mask on the man's face. The black mask without any patterns covered his real appearance, but a cold, white and strong Adam's apple was vaguely visible under the mask. The Adam's apple rolled when he spoke, and the light blue veins under his neck were unusually obvious.

Gu Tongwan took a deep breath, then raised his head, made eye contact with the other person for a brief moment, and then whispered, "You can try it first. If you are sure you want it, it's 750 points per bottle, and each bottle is ml."

Chen Yanxi seemed not to recognize him. He just nodded slightly and asked, "How many bottles are there?"

Gu Tongwan frowned slightly, but before she could answer, Yan Fan beside her said, "There are a total of 15 bottles of homemade wine, and 10 bottles were purchased from other channels. The purchases from other channels are 450 points per bottle."

Yan Fan noticed that Gu Tongwan seemed to have a natural avoidance of the man in front of her, especially her body seemed very stiff, and her originally leisurely and relaxed posture turned into restrained and uneasy, as if she was a child who had done something wrong.

Chen Yanxi didn't seem to pay much attention to her. His eyes naturally fell on the wine bottles. He smiled and said, "I want everything here. Let's calculate how much it is in total."

Yan Fan's originally vigilant look suddenly turned into astonishment. He originally thought that the man was here to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that the man was actually here to buy something?

"Twenty-five bottles of wine, I'll give you a discount and charge you five thousand points in total."

Before Yan Fan had calculated the price, Gu Tongwan quickly quoted a price, and this price was inconsistent with the one they had calculated on the way here.

When she came before, it was agreed that if these goods were sold at the agreed price, she could earn at least 7,000 points. Now she cut the price by one-fifth in one go. It was like she had become a different person compared to her usual unwillingness to lower the price.

After she finished quoting the price, she began to pack all the wine in a hurry. In less than five minutes, she packed all the wine in a cardboard box. Then she glanced at Yan Fan and whispered, "Use your points card to trade."

Yan Fan was quite observant. Although she suspected that this person might be her enemy, she did not hesitate in handing over the card.

Before this, Gu Tongwan had taken Yan Fan to apply for a new brand name card. The identity information on the brand name card had been changed to "Yan Fang", a homophonic pun, and the age had also been changed to one year older.

Fortunately, the identity system in the apocalypse has not returned to the state before the apocalypse, and the system networking between the various guard bureaus is slow. If the network system and networking improve in another year or two, a new profession will emerge, the "Sky Punisher", which has more authority than the Self-Defense Forces and is an elite force among the guards. Gu Tongwan's final impression of this name is that the "Sky Punisher" is composed of psychics above level B, who serve a specific superior organization and are not under the jurisdiction of the base commander. However, she only heard this information from hearsay. After all, she died in the apocalypse before she lived to that time.

Chen Yanxi's eyes were still fixed on her. When she thought he was about to leave after transferring the points, she suddenly saw Chen Yanxi's cold eyes under the mask still staring at her. After a while, he said, "Boss, we have met here before."

Gu Tongwan's heart skipped a beat, and then he coughed twice and deliberately smiled, "Really? I don't quite remember. There were too many people playing in the black market, and my memory is not very good."

No one knew what expression Chen Yanxi had under his mask, and she did not continue to ask questions, but for some reason she felt stunned when she looked at those amber eyes under the light. Especially after she learned about Chen Yanxi's feelings for her, the relationship between her and him suddenly changed from childhood sweethearts to man and woman.

In fact, she didn't dislike the other person, but this relationship was not in her future plans. Love was more like an untouchable poison to her. She had suffered at the hands of a scumbag in her previous life. Even though she knew that Chen Yanxi and Zhang Heng were two completely opposite people, she still didn't dare to take that step easily.

Forget it, just let it be. Don't be proactive nor reject it. If we are really destined to be together, we will naturally be together, but not now.

After Chen Yanxi left, Yan Fan quickly asked, "Sister Wanwan, this person can't be your enemy, right? I feel like you look guilty."

Gu Tongwan couldn't help but twitch his lips, and said unhappily: "Do you think I have enemies all over the world?"

"Then why do you seem afraid to look at the other person? This is not like your character." After spending nearly a month together, Yan Fan has gradually figured out Gu Tongwan's personality. He can occasionally make a joke and his personality has become much more lively. He is very different from the boy who used to arm himself in a suit. Now he is what a boy of his age should be like: confident, lively, and finally full of hope for life.

"He's an acquaintance, not an enemy. It's just that it's not easy to talk to him in my current state, and it would be a bit awkward to be recognized." Gu Tongwan sighed. He didn't intend to hide it from Yan Fan. He just said that he and the other party were good friends. But this is a black market after all. If he recognized him rashly, it would bring unnecessary trouble.

Yan Fan was smart enough not to ask any further questions. After all, everyone has their own little secrets.

Since all the wine had been sold out, there was only some 100 ml of wine that had been poured out earlier left on the table. Gu Tongwan planned to pack up and go home.

Unexpectedly, before I had finished packing up my things, I saw a man hurriedly looking for something everywhere. Until he saw Gu Tongwan's stall, his expression was a little confused at first. He walked forward several steps and finally stopped two steps away. He looked for almost half a minute before finally making up his mind to go forward and ask.

"Excuse me, are you selling wine here?" The man was wearing a neatly ironed white short-sleeved shirt and black suit trousers. His dressing style was very much like that of an elite working in a large company.

"It's wine, yes, but there's not much left now. These are just for tasting." Yan Fan already had several bottles in his hands and was about to collect them.

The man immediately said anxiously, "Excuse me, if it's possible, can I buy all these wines? But... you don't have beer here, do you?"

Seeing the man staring at the bottles without blinking, Gu Tongwan simply said, "Of course it's not beer. These are all fruit wines brewed at home. We sell them because we have too much at home. But now there are only samples of each flavor left, which only add up to seven or eight bottles."

The man glanced and saw that although the seven or eight bottles were full, they actually only had the capacity of a bottle of wine in total. But when he thought about how he had looked around tonight, he didn't see anyone selling wine. Instead, there were more people selling beer. However, the beer produced in the base and in the several camps outside was brewed with mutant wheat. It tasted astringent and had a strange earthy smell that made it difficult to swallow. The cheap ones even had unfiltered residues, and the taste was unacceptable.

Now there are only two places where you can buy fine craft wine in the apocalypse. One is in the wine area of ​​the trading center. Half of the wine there is a batch of collector's editions collected from post-apocalyptic supermarkets, and the other half is brewed by the brewery under the post-apocalyptic Agricultural Science Institute. The taste is not as good as the fine wine before the apocalypse, but after special processing by the brewery, it is much more delicious than beer, so it is welcomed by some powerful people.

The man will meet his girlfriend's parents in a few days. His girlfriend's father likes to taste fine wine the most. In order to get his girlfriend's father to agree to their living together, the man must find a way to win over his future father-in-law.

Seeing that the meeting time was next Tuesday, the man had already used his connections to look for places inside and outside the base, but there were very few places where he could find good wine, or the prices were exorbitant. A bottle of simple homemade wine cost nearly a thousand points. It was not that he had never thought about making his own wine, but the fruits after the apocalypse were not suitable for brewing at home. In addition, brewing wine required sugar, which was relatively expensive, and the taste of the wine was unsatisfactory. Someone had tried to brew it before, but the result was not only unpalatable, but it was not known whether it was due to the climate or the fact that the mutated fruits after the apocalypse required special containers. The wine even had a rotten smell.

"It's okay, I've bought them all, but can you let me smell them? I want to know if there is any strange smell." The man stared at one of the bottles that looked like the color of mulberry wine, hesitated for a while, and could only raise his head and ask.

Gu Tongwan nodded, unscrewed the lid and handed the bottle over.

Before the bottle reached the man, he could already smell a fruity scent similar to mulberry, followed by a strong fruity aroma.

The man's originally impatient and anxious look suddenly changed. He took the bottle handed over by Gu Tongwan with both hands and moved the bottle a little closer. As expected, the aroma of wine was strong.

"How much is the total? I'll transfer it right away." As if afraid that he would not be sold to, the man immediately took out the points card from his pocket.

Gu Tongwan saw that this person really wanted to buy, and these tasting wines were originally counted as consumption, but he didn't expect that the stall would be closed early today because of Chen Yanxi's "booking", so he simply said, "One hundred points per bottle, a total of eight bottles, you can just transfer me 800 points."

Each tasting bottle is actually more than 100 milliliters, and some of the larger ones are at least 150 or 160 milliliters. When you add up the total volume, the price of fruit wine of this quality is lower than at the base.

The man was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, boss. Can you add my contact information? I want to buy wine from you in the future."
