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

This life group is quite similar to the owner group of the Zijing community before the end of the world. The group consists of residents living in the inner circle, but they are scattered and not necessarily in the same community. Gu Tongwan was pulled into this group last time when he was shopping in the commercial street by an older sister who was enthusiastic about introducing products. She said that there were often various gossips about discounts in the group.

[I just heard on the radio that the water supply will be cut off. Is this true? ]

[It should be true. The radio here also notified that the water supply would be cut off at noon. My husband has been using buckets to store water. After all, we don’t know when the water will come back.]

[Oh my god, I live on the eighth floor. I just tried it and the water pressure is too low. It takes at least half an hour to fill a bucket of water. It's so annoying.]

[I live on the third floor. The water pressure is fine, but it is lower than usual. I guess everyone is busy storing water after hearing the announcement.]

[I started storing water yesterday. My brother said that if there is acid rain again, the groundwater may be polluted. My husband and I stored two buckets of water just in case, but it still feels not enough. We just emptied the rice jar to store water.]

[I just called my brother-in-law, who works at the water plant, and asked about the situation. He said that the water plant should find a way to purify the groundwater in the future, but it will take some time, and there will be water restrictions at that time. It is estimated that it will be more difficult than when it was extremely hot. After all, the water purification process requires a lot of effort and time. ]

[Today's acid rain is too strong. The billboard opposite me is in a mess. The iron sheets have been corroded to the point that it looks like something has grown on it. It's disgusting.]

[Help! The stainless steel security window on my balcony seems to have been gradually corroded and it feels like it is about to break.]

[My window screen is the same. I just forgot to close the window last night, and some rain just drifted in, and the window screen was immediately corroded by more than half. ]

[Did you buy rice and flour last night? We can’t go out in this weather. If we go out, will we be corroded to the point where not even our bones are left? ]

[Want to know what kind of corrosion a living creature will become after it is released? I will show you a video I just edited and prepared to post online.]

After one person jumped out to speak, less than ten seconds later, a short video appeared in the group and was loading.

[What video is this? I’m curious. ]

[It's not a bloody or scary video, can it be censored? I'm worried that I'll feel physically uncomfortable after watching it. ]

The video took about three minutes to load, and everyone's curiosity was completely aroused.

After it was fully loaded, I found that it was a short video of only about one minute. The video showed a mutant rat with its hind legs tied to a stone pier. The mutant rat was particularly ferocious, making threatening "squeaking" sounds in one direction, and its pair of blood-red eyes looked extremely cruel.

The entire video was played in an accelerated form. At around 6:30 in the morning, the mouse, which had been exhausted from screaming all night, suddenly let out a shrill scream again.

This time people noticed that acid rain was falling in the video, and the mice initially ran around in fear after being exposed to the acid rain. However, because their hind legs were entangled in the wire, they could only run around helplessly in different directions like headless flies.

As the rain gradually soaked the ground, the mice gradually calmed down, but changes also occurred on their bodies. The originally black hair became bald, revealing the pink skin underneath. Even when the hair had been almost corroded by the acid rain, the acid rain began to corrode the innermost skin. The mice's skin was gradually gnawed, and the pink skin was pierced, revealing the innermost internal organs.

The whole process of the rat being corroded by acid rain did not actually happen all at once. You can see the time displayed on the upper right corner of the surveillance footage, which lasted from 6:30 in the morning to around 10 o'clock, when the rat finally turned into a bloody mass of flesh.

After seeing this video, the group fell silent.

It took about five minutes before someone couldn't help but complain.

[Oh my god, this is really disgusting. This... acid rain is too horrible. If this person goes out, won't he also turn into a meat ball like this? ]

[When will this acid rain stop? I don’t even dare to go out.]

[The pH value of acid rain is already very low, so everyone should stay indoors as much as possible. And based on the acid rain two years ago, this acid rain period is not expected to be too short, so everyone should be prepared to stay indoors for a long time. ]

[I haven't been out for almost three months. The previous insect plague, the subsequent beast tide, the extreme heat, and the acid rain this time, I'm about to get moldy at home. Fortunately, I have always had the habit of hoarding food, and I live alone, so I can still survive. ]

[Oh my god, the person above, you have been at home all the time since you didn't work. You only spend money but not income. How did you manage to hold on until now? I haven't been to work for more than a month. The points in my card are almost used up. I just bought 20 kilograms of rice last night. There are four people in my family. I don't know if it can hold on for a month. It's not okay to eat porridge every day. I also have to save water. I'm so worried that my hair is almost falling out. ]

[Haha, I work from home and take some private jobs online. I used to be a draftsman, but now the income is pitifully small, barely enough to support my expenses. Plus I have to rent a house every month, so there is basically no balance on my card.]

【Didn’t everyone line up to buy food last night? My whole family went out and finally brought back 20 kilograms of rice and flour. We went to three supply and marketing cooperatives. Fortunately, we returned at around 4 o’clock last night. If we had returned a little later, we would have encountered acid rain.】

[Then I am the luckiest. I didn’t get home until six in the morning. Just when I got home to brush my teeth and wash my face and prepare to take a nap, I found it was raining. ]

【Last night, the supply and marketing cooperative seemed to be open until 5:30. There were a lot of people lining up. Basically, there were 500 to 600 people lining up at each point. It was really scary.】

[It was the same at the commercial street. I finally managed to squeeze in, but I only bought three pounds of flour. Three pounds cost me 135 points. It was simply a rip-off! ]

[Okay, at least everyone has bought food. I heard that the government may send special armed vehicles to various communities to transport reserve food. The price will be sold according to the normal price of the supply and marketing cooperatives, but each household can only buy two kilograms of rice or flour.]

[The above, is your information reliable? You are not the government sent to clean up the mess, right? You should know that the base government has no preventive measures against acid rain, and the meteorological bureau can't even provide early warning. I really don't know why this department is still there. ]

[So this is called a natural disaster, there is no way to prevent it. In short, everyone can only try their best to save themselves. Instead of pinning their hopes on others, it is better to find a way to survive. ]

Various comments appeared in the group. Gu Tongwan kept scrolling down and saw basically the same comments. However, he did see a very interesting comment. This person had been active in the group and had been declaring some kind of "eschatological" remarks, saying that human beings now needed a strong spiritual belief.

It turned out that it was not just this person. In the group of more than 300 people, two other people jumped out to mention the issue of faith. When they had almost finished talking, one of them mentioned the Illuminati, which was identified as a "cult organization" by the government some time ago.

Several people seemed to hold a neutral attitude, but in fact, there was no lack of appreciation and approval for the Illuminati in their speeches. Some even believed that the base should allow the existence and development of religions and that the diversity of various organizations was needed so that coordinated development could be achieved.

Most people simply sneered at these remarks, and everyone was currently concerned about the issue of acid rain, so these remarks were quickly drowned out by the heated discussions among others.

Although other people did not pay attention to these people, Gu Tongwan privately paid attention to their online names and even went to look through their other comments in the group. He found that in most cases these people did not stand out, except during the acid rain period in recent days when they made some strange remarks similar to today's "belief" and "spirit".

Gu Tongwan couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He didn't expect that members of the Illuminati had actually infiltrated the community chat group.

However, they cannot cause too much trouble at present. The government's control over the base is still relatively strict, and emergency measures have been arranged in a timely manner. At least during the acid rain period, the decision was made to transport supplies to the community.

Gu Tongwan put down his phone and planned to take this opportunity to cook something delicious. Since he couldn't go out casually, he might as well improve his cooking skills at home.

He took out the fine noodles from the space, and then took out the coarse noodles bought from the supply and marketing cooperative before, and mixed them in a ratio of 2:1. Because if the buns were made entirely of fine noodles, Yan Fan would definitely find it strange. It would be better to mix them directly with the coarse noodles and knead them. The taste would be much better than making them with coarse noodles himself, but the coarseness of the coarse noodles would be retained. Even if Yan Fan had doubts, he could say that they were some of the fine noodles purchased at the trading center before.

In fact, the base does sell fine noodles, which are usually only available in trading centers or individual shops on the commercial street, but the quantity is small and the price is high. She had specially consulted before that the taste of good quality fine noodles is very close to the ordinary flour before the end of the world, but the price is at least five to six times more expensive than coarse noodles. Before the extreme heat, it was about 70 to 80 kilograms, and ordinary people could not afford it at all. After the acid rain period, the fine noodles were snapped up by the powerful in the inner circle.

Gu Tongwan was born and raised in the South, and he’s not really good at making pasta. He used to try to bake some bread in the little house where he lived, and with the help of a bread machine, he was quite successful at the time. But steaming pasta is obviously different from Western-style baking.

Fortunately, I downloaded a lot of recipes on my tablet before the end of the world, so I just picked one and made it according to the proportions.

This time I made pork buns with preserved vegetables and beef vermicelli buns. I cut about ten pounds of pork and ten pounds of beef in the space, and soaked a large bag of vermicelli in advance. After soaking the vermicelli, a large basin was filled with it. After the meat was minced with a meat grinder, I put the pork and preserved vegetables in two large basins, and the beef and vermicelli in a large plate, and seasoned them separately.

But maybe she was a little greedy, not knowing that the stuffing made from twenty kilograms of meat could fill two extra-large basins, and the original ten kilograms of flour was not enough, so in the end she had to add another ten kilograms of flour temporarily.

It took me nearly three hours just to do the preparatory work of rising the dough and preparing the fillings. When I looked up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Gu Tongwan sighed and decided to take a short break, so he slumped down on the sofa and held up the remote control to change channels out of boredom.

Currently, there are five channels in the base, two current affairs news channels, one is a TV station from another province, which can show the situation of each base, another is a life channel, which plays some highlights of the previous superpower hunting, and another is a nostalgic movie channel, which plays some classic movies before the end of the world. This is also the only channel among the five channels that requires additional payment. In addition to the 30 points of radio and television fees each month, this channel requires an additional 15 points. Although the fee is very expensive, in the end of the world with very little spiritual food, this movie channel is still very popular among the residents of the base.

After a short rest of half an hour, perhaps because the filling mixed with sesame oil and various seasonings was too tempting, the two dogs began to feel a little impatient. Their two heads lay on the table, and their paws began to move restlessly.

Gu Tongwan then stood up with a smile, and each of them filled a large bowl. She saw the two dogs sniffed it at first, then tried to take a bite, and finally finished the fillings in the bowl in two or three bites after they were assured. Some even raised their heads and looked at her with a sense of unsatisfied desire.

"No, this is for making buns. I can't let you eat all of it. I'll let you try a few after the buns are made."

However, these two large pots of buns can make at least seventy or eighty buns. She definitely can't roll out the dough by herself, so she still has to wrap them.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to have an extra helper, so he shouted Yan Fan's name downstairs.

Yan Fan was concentrating on practicing his supernatural powers down below. Now that he had reached the level of a C-level supernatural power user, he had already learned a little about how to use his supernatural power pressure and open his five senses. However, supernatural power pressure required strong supernatural energy support. At present, he was unable to release it smoothly. Instead, his five senses could be enhanced through concentration.

When Yan Fan heard his name being called from upstairs, he opened his eyes and stood up from the sofa without any hesitation.

I saw several large basins full of fermented dough on the coffee table on the second floor, four of which were neatly stacked.

"Please take your things down. I'll clean up here."

Just as Yan Fan was about to go downstairs with the washbasin in his arms, Gu Tongwan asked again, "Yan Fan, can you roll noodles?"
