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

Early the next morning, Gu Tongwan took out the lunch box he had prepared the night before from the space. The lunch box was still hot, and even though it was in a plastic box, you could smell the fragrance.

When she got up, Yan Fan had just returned in the morning, but he was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and his whole body was covered in mud. It didn't look like he had gone for a morning jog, but rather like he had just come back from a battle somewhere.

Thinking that he really didn't hear any movement downstairs last night, Gu Tongwan asked curiously: "You didn't come back last night, did you... go to the north?"

Covered in mud, she couldn't think of where else he could go except the north, and when he came back yesterday evening, he borrowed her electric scooter.

His small electric scooter was one she had installed batteries on before the end of the world. It could run nearly a hundred kilometers at a time, enough for him to make a round trip from the northern forest.

Yan Fan nodded awkwardly, probably because he felt that it was not good for him to drive over there without notifying the driver, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Sister Wanwan, I should tell you in advance next time."

In fact, Gu Tongwan did not intend to ask him the purpose of running there. Perhaps it should be said that he had guessed it long ago. Yan Fan had been very impatient recently. Ever since the last battle with the Illuminati in the community massacre, Yan Fan had started training day and night. Although his ability level had already broken through to C level or even above, he did not seem to be satisfied with the current results. He seemed to be eager for quick success and wanted to jump into the ranks of high-level psychics in one go.

It's not a bad thing to be dissatisfied with your own strength and to work hard, but Gu Tongwan was also worried that his excessive training would backfire, so she shook her head and said, "I don't have a curfew here. You are free to go wherever you want and you don't need to report to me. But the improvement of your ability level needs to be done step by step. It's safest to take one step at a time. You are still young and have more room for improvement. It's rare for people of your age to reach your current level. Relax a bit and don't push yourself too hard." She paused, and frowned slightly because of the cold wind that came in after opening the door. "The temperature has dropped too much recently. The forest in the north is not safe. Have you forgotten how we escaped from death two days ago? You should stay in the base for the time being. If you really want to train, you can go to the yard with Aoao and Tutu."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you Sister Wanwan for your concern. By the way, are you going to the store? Do you need me to go with you?" He seemed to have really listened to me, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Gu Tongwan declined politely: "Okay, you should go and have a rest. Aoao will stay and look after the house with you. I will take care of Tutu."

Watching Gu Tongwan driving the car and disappearing behind him, Yan Fan lowered his eyes and took out a crystal core that was almost emerald from his pocket. This B-grade crystal core was the trophy of today's battle, obtained by successfully killing a B-grade mutant Komodo lizard. Now the environment in the forest is becoming more and more complicated, and mutant beasts from all regions are elusive, whether it is the frost gray wolf that only appears in extremely cold places or the Komodo dragon that appears in the desert, it seems that creatures from tropical and cold regions can survive in the same environment at the same time. This may be another species invasion, although it is not known how these animals appeared in Jiangcheng, perhaps they were animals that escaped from the zoo during the earthquake, but they may also be smuggled. There is even a possibility that some anti-social elements after the end of the world deliberately brought them from different regions in order to disrupt Jiangcheng and make Jiangcheng a nest of mutant beasts.

She hadn't been to the store for almost a week. When she came this morning, there was no longer a crowd of people waiting outside for the store to open as usual, so she felt relieved.

I got out of the van when no one was looking and entered the store. Probably because the store hadn't been maintained for a while, the air inside was very stuffy, and I could even smell a musty smell.

The air was humid some time ago, and Jiangcheng had been experiencing damp and cold weather before, so it was easy for bacteria to breed in uninhabited places. Fortunately, she deliberately placed a branch of blood vine before leaving, so no feces of red-eyed rats and black-shelled cockroaches were found here.

After cleaning the floor and the shelves, Gu Tongwan quickly filled the shelves with fruits and vegetables. The vegetables that were most commonly sold in the base were still potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet potato leaves, Chinese cabbage, baby cabbage, lettuce, and even some celery and parsley this time. Coriander and shallots were also added. In addition, fennel and yam were added, which were very expensive even in the base. As for fruits, they were still apples and bananas, and then there were dozens of lemons that were just picked last night. Rice and flour were not prepared for the time being, but twenty cans of braised meat that had been braised with mutant pork were placed on the shelves. Each glass jar could hold about half a pound of braised meat, and the selling price was 120 points.

Finally, the thermos bucket filled with lunch boxes was placed in another vacated space. When everything was ready, the rolling door was finally opened at around eight o'clock.

Before leaving the house this morning, I sent a message to Xu Hang, who had left me a message before, informing him that the guild would officially resume business today. Xu Hang replied to the message quite quickly, but his tone was a little regretful. He said that they had just returned from a mission in the northern forest yesterday, and the entire guild was seriously injured this time, so they needed some time to recuperate and rest. I hope that the boss lady can leave some more lunch boxes for them the day after tomorrow.

Gu Tongwan didn't expect that Xu Hang's guild had also gone to the forest in the north before. After a few pleasantries, he finally asked tentatively: "Is your dormitory far away? If it is nearby, I can drive over and deliver lunch boxes at noon."

Xu Hang, who had to lie in the dormitory due to a waist injury, was shocked when he saw the message. He stared at the message in a daze for about half a minute, and then he sent the message with his fingers after he came to his senses.

[Xu Hang]: It’s in a residential area near the guild, not far away, about a two-kilometer walk or seven or eight minutes by car.

[Gu Tongwan]: Okay, how many lunch boxes do you need? I can reserve half of them for you at most.

[Xu Hang]: Then we'll take all of them. We're really looking forward to the lunch boxes from you, boss lady. Thank you so much.

Gu Tongwan smiled knowingly, then stepped forward and temporarily put half of the lunch box in the thermos back into the space.

——Quanyue Guild Dormitory

Xu Hang no longer cared about the pain in his waist, and his fingers were still sending messages in their guild communication group.

[First kill in Yuanhang] I have good news to tell you all!!

[Yuanhang Xiaochen] What? Did the president say he would give us a raise?

[Yuanhang Lao Bi] There is no possibility of raising our salary. We are lucky enough to come back alive this time. Moreover, the president has promised that those who have been on field missions will be subsidized with a bottle of nutrient solution and two bottles of energy supplements. This is enough to spend the money. You are still thinking about raising your salary. I am afraid you used two extra pillows when you slept last night?

[Yuanhang Xiaoxiaosu] What good news! I just want to have a hot meal now. After my ribs were broken, nothing tastes good anymore. Drinking porridge every day is enough.

[Yuanhang Dafei] Come on, Li Chaoran, I saw you gnawing on a big pork elbow last night. You have such a good appetite even though your ribs are broken. I really admire you. Besides, I really can't eat the boxed lunches bought nearby. Not only is there no oil or water, but can't you put more seasoning? The meat always has a weird smell, and the smell can't be suppressed without spices.

[Yuanhang Xiaoxiaosu] So, I had no choice but to chew on the pork elbow last night. It was better than chewing on the hard sweet potato, right?

[Yuanhang Xiaochen] Oh, now that you guys are talking about food, I feel hungry. I have only eaten a bowl of millet porridge since last night, and my mouth is so dry.

[Yuanhang Lao Bi] As a patient meal, the food is a bit poor, but please bear with it. We don't have the energy to cook in the dormitory now, and it is Lao Zhang who has to buy the boxed lunch. We have to eat it whether we want to or not. At least the nutrition must keep up with the body for recovery.

[Yuanhang Lao Zhang] You have no idea how cold it was when I went out this morning. I almost froze like a dog. I'm afraid that if an extreme cold weather really comes, all the restaurants near us will have to close early.

[Yuanhang Xiaoxiaosu] Okay, okay, let’s not go off topic. Xu Hang, what exactly is the surprise you are talking about? Stop playing Tai Chi and just tell me.

[Yuanhang Xiaochen] Yes, if it wasn’t a surprise, I would rush into your room and beat you up.

[First kill of the voyage]...

[First kill of Yuanhang] I won’t keep you in suspense. What I want to say is that we have a plan for lunch today.

【Yuanhang Xiaoxiaosu】……

[Yuanhang Xiaochen]...After waiting for so long, this is...

【Yuanhang Lao Zhang】……

Xu Hang frowned, then sneered. What a bunch of idiots, have they not come to their senses yet? We also know who was shouting that he wanted to eat the lunch box from the boss's wife's house.

[Yuanhang Laobi] Is the proprietress of the store near the guild back?

Because of Lao Bi's reminder, the others also came to their senses at this time, and this information immediately popped up one after another like bamboo shoots after rain.

[Yuanhang Xiaochen] Oh my god, is this true? Is the news confirmed? The boss lady is really back to open the store? Does that mean I can look forward to today's boxed lunch?

[Yuanhang Lao Zhang] Xu Hang, why didn’t you say something earlier? I just told the girl downstairs this morning that I would order lunch boxes from her house in the next two days. If I don’t go, it will be so awkward when we meet next time!

[Yuanhang Xiao Zhou] Hooray! I can finally be freed from that disgusting and bland soup.

[Yuanhang Fangfang] blew me away and raised my hand to indicate that I wanted a box lunch.

[Yuanhang Laobi] Haha, it seems like everyone is quite enthusiastic about getting a box lunch.

[First Kill on a Long Voyage] There are fifteen copies in total, no more. Register now, starting with me as the first, and counting up to fifteen. For repeated numbers, the one with the fastest speed will be counted. Only the first fifteen will get a copy, and the rest will have to wait until tomorrow.

In less than ten seconds, various Arabic numerals were seen pouring out of the group.

Those who couldn't get a number or saw the group message later were complaining bitterly. Missing a lunch box was like missing out on 10 billion yuan. They were all frantically calling out Xu Hang's name.

[Yuanhang Huzi] Xu Hang, you are so mean. Could you at least tell me the news in advance?

[Yuanhang Afeng] Xu Hang, can you talk to the boss lady and get more boxed lunches? There are dozens of people in our guild, and only fifteen boxed lunches a day are not enough.

[Yuanhang Xiaoshen] How fast is the speed for you guys? We are all in the same dormitory. Don’t we have the same broadband? Why does it take several seconds for the message I sent to be sent successfully?

[Yuanhang Mingming] I strongly suspect that it is because the router is installed in the living room, which is closer to them. We have passed through several walls, so the signal must not be that fast.

[First Kill in Far Voyage] There's nothing I can do about it. It's already good enough to get fifteen packages. They don't provide lunch boxes exclusively for our guild. Also, I've asked before. The lady boss runs a small business by herself. She has to watch the store, stock the goods, and prepare lunch boxes. Her energy is really limited. I'm embarrassed to keep begging her for it. Anyway, if you're fast enough, just reply in the group. But I can't guarantee that there will be lunch boxes every day.

[Yuanhang Xiaozhiliao] Hahaha, I got it, so I can have my lunch box soon, right?

[First kill at Yuanhang] The proprietress said it will be delivered around 12:30. My waist is not good, so Xiao Chen and Xiao Shen should go down and get it. It is at the A entrance of our community. Xiao Chen has seen the proprietress.

[Yuanhang Xiaochen] No problem, no problem.

——Fruit and vegetable store

Gu Tongwan had just opened the door when a woman in her thirties who was walking hurriedly glanced over and saw that the fruit and vegetable shop that was originally closed was actually open for business.

It turned out that this woman was a white-collar worker who worked nearby. She had bought vegetables from Gu Tongwan's shop before. When she saw the shop, she immediately stopped, as if she was confirming whether there was anyone else inside.

After seeing Gu Tongwan stand up and check the shelves, he shouted in surprise: "Boss lady?"

Gu Tongwan heard someone shouting outside and turned around. He saw a woman he didn't recognize. She looked very happy.

"I finally waited until you opened the store. You didn't know that it was difficult for me to buy groceries during the time you didn't open the store."

Gu Tongwan guessed that it must be someone who had bought something in the store before, so he could only smile and answer: "Sometime ago, there was something going on at home, and now I am back after I sorted it out."

"So will it be open as normal this week?" the woman asked quickly.

"Well, we're open until Saturday this week, and we'll be closed on Sunday as usual." Gu Tongwan replied.

The woman smiled and nodded, but she also said with regret: "It must be very hard for you to run the store by yourself, otherwise it would be no problem for your store to be open until eight or nine in the evening."

The woman bought some celery and potatoes and left, but she was still in high spirits when she left. She was looking at her phone while walking, and seemed to be chatting about something.

Gu Tongwan had no idea that the woman had sent a message that instantly caused an uproar in the group chat.

Just before leaving get off work, Liao Yunyun also sent a message saying that she had found a more suitable candidate for salesperson.
