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

Liao Yunyun only started working as a journalist in the third year of the apocalypse. It has only been a year and a half so far, but she has been mostly on the front lines of the battlefield and has also been to some small-scale beast tide suppression sites for interviews.

She was no stranger to corpses. She had seen too many of them in the year when the apocalypse broke out. She could even say that she had stripped supplies and clothes from the dead. She had done everything she could to survive at that time.

But the scene before her still gave her great tremors and horror. What on earth would result in only fragments of broken limbs being left before her eyes?

And everyone present was clearly aware that the corpses here might not be simple accidents, because some of the broken limbs even had clear bite marks, and there were some strange footprints and scratches on the ground.

Liao Yunyun covered her mouth, and her hand holding the gun was shaking slightly, but she quickly calmed down. Instead, she walked over to the recorder who was squatting on the ground and vomiting, and comforted her softly: "Take a break after vomiting, and continue the recording work."

“But... there’s no way to interview them in this situation. After all, the victims…” The recorder girl turned her head away, unable to bear to look at the broken bodies.

Liao Yunyun didn't know how she calmed herself down at this moment. She tried her best to stop her voice from trembling. She even pinched the flesh on her thigh, and the pain helped her focus a little.

"We can skip the interview part. We just need to do a good job of recording the scene. The drone must be able to record the scene. As for the body... it should be censored later. After all, it involves privacy. Also, the director has already discussed this matter with the higher-ups before allowing us to enter the dungeon. If the recording work is hindered later, try not to conflict with the guards. After all, the captain of the guard has absolute command authority."

At this time in the villa area, Chen Yanxi looked at the picture sent back by Liao Yunyun and sent a message.

【Aim the drone at the scratches on the ground.】

Liao Yunyun made a gesture to the drone driver only after receiving the message on her mobile phone.

The screen now clearly showed the scratches on the ground. It was a scratch that was more than one meter long, but at least two centimeters long, similar to the marks left by a brown bear. However, mutant brown bears were rarely seen after the apocalypse, and it was impossible for them to appear in the dungeon. Moreover, these tooth marks showed that the front paws were at least twenty centimeters long.

At the same time, Gu Tongwan didn't expect that Liao Yunyun actually sent her a live video of the dungeon. She just felt suspicious about some weird atmosphere in the dungeon. If she hadn't met the members of the guard team in the afternoon, the blood vines on the back of her hand would not have stopped moving immediately.

At that time, she could feel that there must be something in the danger zone. The smell in the air reminded her of the mutants she had met in Xiaoxi Village, but the stench was stronger than that of the mutants. But she didn't know if it was because the guards had been sitting in the armored vehicle, so their sensitivity to the smell was weakened, or maybe it was because she and the blood vines were in spiritual symbiosis, so her perception of smell and supernatural energy was more acute than that of other supernatural people.

In fact, Gu Tongwan was not particularly surprised by what happened in the dungeon. There are always people who follow the order and people who do not in the world. If she had not met the guard team this afternoon, perhaps she would have encountered the demon species, and she didn't know whether she could break out of these monsters by then.

The atmosphere at the scene was not only tense but also very solemn. Everyone was on edge because no one knew what would happen next.

Gu Tongwan sat on the sofa with his feet resting on his concave back. The surface under his feet felt fluffy and as smooth as the finest silk.

Some time ago, she found a lot of bath shampoos for pet cats and dogs in the space, so she simply put a basin of shower gel mixed with water in the space. After giving the two dogs a simple scrub, the rest of the bathing was up to the two dogs to do according to their understanding.

In fact, it’s nothing more than two dogs jumping into the inflatable swimming pool for children to play in the water. Fortunately, there is abundant water resources in the space, so it’s not too bad to drain the water every few months.

Gu Tongwan was thinking that he would use the two dogs as heaters in winter, so it would be best to keep them clean and tidy during that time, so that they would almost be natural warm babies.

She projected her phone screen onto another split-screen device, and the claw marks on the ground and stone walls were clearly displayed on the 16-inch split-screen.

Those claw marks were indeed very similar to the mutants that Xiaoxi Village had seen before, but the claw marks in the dungeon were deeper and longer, and the broken limbs on the ground still had traces of tearing, and some even had human tissue on them, looking bloody.

——Hunter Team Residence in Villa District

Chen Yanxi also put the video on the TV in the second-floor lobby, and everyone looked at the screen with serious expressions.

"The claw marks are at least two to three centimeters deep. It is estimated that the claws are at least thirty centimeters long. Based on the depth of the claw marks, the gripping force is at least hundreds of kilograms, comparable to that of a horn carving." Xu Qingzhi stood beside the coffee table, his eyes fixed on the TV screen.

Xuyang was originally holding a glass of tomato juice in his hand. After seeing the real-time image, he silently put the juice in his hand on the coffee table. He even felt a little nauseous about what he had just drunk.

Why did I want to drink juice tonight, and it was tomato juice that made me dream...

"It feels different from the one we caught before. The claw marks are deeper and the destructive power is stronger."

Ye Ziqiu was playing with a fruit knife in her hand. She had long been accustomed to these bloody scenes and could even do it without blinking. She had been single since the end of the world until she joined the hunter team. No matter whether she was killing criminals, hunting mutant beasts, or dealing with foreign forces, she had always survived the hail of bullets or the mouths of ferocious beasts.

Not only her, but everyone present, except Xuyang who is a little younger and needs to get used to these things slowly, has already developed strong psychological qualities.

"The scene is too tragic. The person leading the team now is Chen Ruhai?" Liu Hun's appetite was not affected at all. He was still chewing half an apple in his mouth. Although the apple was tasteless, it was better than nothing. At least it was helpful to his intestines. He didn't want to sit in the toilet for a long time.

"Chen Ruhai just came back from Weihai, right? He dealt with such a difficult matter right after returning. I guess he cares a lot about next month's ranking battle."

Among the guard teams 0-13, a ranking battle will be held every six months. The points of each guard team will be determined based on the contribution value of the year and the performance of the team members.

Teams like the Hunter Team and the Light Chaser Team, which are already at the top of the pyramid, don't need to participate at all. However, when they participated in the ranking battles, they completed various tasks in order to improve the team's points as quickly as possible. At that time, Xuyang had just joined the team not long ago. As a female C-level psychic, she had to take on S-level tasks with the team. She suffered a lot, but her growth rate was also jaw-dropping. It only took her half a year to upgrade from C-level to B-level.

At present, except for Xuyang and Qingzhi, all other members of the Hunter Team have been promoted to A-level, and they can easily crush the opponents of the same level. What's more, Fang Tang is said to have no opponents below S-level. In other words, Fang Tang has always been the strongest one among the psychics of the same level.

The footage captured by the drone had no sound, but the scene was as bright as day under the illumination of various lighting equipment and car lights, allowing the tragic scene to be seen more intuitively.

Liu Hun added, "I remember hearing in the afternoon that it was Wang Shu who led the team down first, and he took the initiative to ask his superiors to carry out this mission. At least half of their team members were dispatched, but they lost contact after they went down."

"How do you know so much? These have not been made public, right?" Ye Ziqiu glanced at him curiously. As a member of the same team, Liu Hun always got top-secret information, and the information was quite accurate.

"Hahaha, this is the power of connections. You don't know it, do you think I'm just there for show every time I go to a meeting? I have to deal with people from different departments."

Looking at Liu Hun's smug look, Ye Ziqiu just rolled his eyes at him.

"Wang Shu is a guy who looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside. His strength is not good enough at all. I remember he stopped in the danger zone in the last hunting competition. He deliberately used the excuse of being unwell to leave early. Everyone knows that he was worried about exposing his own strength during the live broadcast. After all, there are S-level mutant beasts in the restricted area of ​​the northern forest that can crush the guard team. If he doesn't perform well and is pinned to the ground by the mutant beasts, he will be embarrassed in front of the audience." Liu Hun's tone was full of disdain for Wang Shu. If the guard team of the Dust Reduction Base was to be ranked, Wang Shu would definitely be in the bottom three in Liu Hun's mind.

Geng Zimo interjected at this time: "Even so, he is indeed an A-level mutant. In addition, the players he brought with him to the dungeon are all very powerful. Dozens of people can't resist the attack of the mutant beast. It seems that the situation this time is not simple."

"A-grade demon species, and not just one." Chen Yanxi's expression was calm, his dark pupils showed no emotional fluctuations, his slender knuckles were clasped together, emitting a cold light under the light.

The others were stunned when they heard this, and then they heard their captain say: "Demons are social animals and never act alone. This is different from simple mutants."

"Living in a group? One is enough, but if there are dozens of them, even an S-class psychic can't handle it." Liu Hun almost choked on the apple in his mouth, but suddenly he noticed the sneering looks from others and touched his nose in dismay, "That's not right, if other S-class psychics are like the boss, the demons will kill them in droves."

"You talk too much nonsense." Ye Ziqiu shook his head and looked at Chen Yanxi again: "Captain, since Chen Ruhai has been dispatched, I'm afraid Wang Shu is in danger. Do we need to..."

Chen Yanxi's dark black eyes reflected the light of the TV screen, and his stern face still made it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment. After a while, he said, "Don't move until there is an order from above. The demons are bloodthirsty, but they don't like to fight. After they have finished eating this time, they need to rest for a while and will not appear again for at least three days."

“Boss, have you... fought against this kind of mutated demon species?” Liu Hun felt that Chen Yanxi knew too much about this creature, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"I saw it once in Lingcheng during the extreme cold."

Chen Yanxi thought of the demon species he had seen that day. In the ice city covered with snow, that kind of creature actually occupied an entire botanical garden. It held the corpses of other mutant animals in its hands and gnawed them. It could fly and was extremely fast, but it was afraid of light. However, once it entered their territory, it was easy to be attacked by a group. The attack power of each one was very strong. Some even had the initial ability of S-level mutant beasts. In addition to physical attacks, they also had mental attacks. Coupled with the ability to fly, they could easily ambush targets in the air.

"If there were a group of these things, even the top guard team would have to try their best to repel them. Tsk tsk tsk, it's a good thing that Chen Ruhai was sent for this mission, so that we wouldn't be thrown this hot potato." Liu Hun shrugged and breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Zigeng found Liu Hun's nonchalant attitude amusing and said, "This time it's not just Chen Ruhai, many teams want to get involved. After all, this is an achievement."

"We're all waiting to pick Chen Ruhai's peaches. If Chen Ruhai doesn't handle this matter well, the faction behind him may not allocate resources to him in the future." The fruit knife in Ye Ziqiu's hand became bigger, and the tip of the knife just brushed the palm of his hand every time without hurting it at all.

"Whoever wants to pick these peaches can do so. I don't care. I'm just wondering if the reward for our last suppression operation has come down."

In the last large-scale beast tide suppression mission, the Hunter Squad, as the most important core team, played a key role in the final success of the entire mission. No wonder Liu Hun has been thinking about the reward.

Each person will receive five bottles of nutrient solution made from advanced mutant beasts, an additional 20,000 points reward, 200 kilograms of rice, and 50 kilograms of meat, and there is even a preferential policy for priority purchase of houses in the underground city.

Liu Hun was mainly concerned about the nutrient solution. With the nutrient solution, he would be able to maximize his special abilities as soon as possible.

Xuyang didn't care about the reward. All his attention was on the screen. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something. His body trembled violently and he whispered, "What is that?"

At this moment, the scene changed, and a huge mutant beast with wings suddenly appeared in front of the camera. The thing was leaning against a rock, with a long metal stick of nearly one meter long stuck in its belly. The thing had a torso similar to that of a human, but its limbs were abnormally thick and its face was ferocious, with sharp fangs seeming to grow from both sides of its mouth. The skin on its body was black and abnormally rough, and the texture could be seen, as if a person had been skinned, but the meat inside was black. This creature has not yet appeared in the official mutant beast encyclopedia.

Is this the demon species?
