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

"Brother Xu, this was an accident. Who knew there would be monsters in the base? So don't think too much about it. It's fate." The young man could only comfort Xu Wei in this way, but in fact he was also comforting himself that their tragic death was just an accident.

"Brother Xu, I think those monsters didn't come in. Could it be that they can only survive in the snow?" The young man used his weak perception to sense that there was no smell of monsters in the clinic, so he tried to analyze the habits of those monsters, but soon the young man's face became nervous, so he raised his head and said to Xu Wei: "Brother Xu, there seems to be someone in here!"

Xu Wei was also surprised that there were still people here, but then he thought that this was a health center, so it was normal for there to be people here, so he continued, "They might be patients or medical staff who hadn't been transferred yet, or they might be looking for supplies nearby like us. But... we still have to be careful, after all, people are much scarier than monsters these days."

The young man continued to use his mental power to sense the surroundings. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the second floor. He pointed upwards and lowered his voice a lot: "It seems to be upstairs."

"Can you sense how many people there are?" Xu Wei asked.

"It seems like there are two, or three. I'm sorry, Brother Xu, my ability is too weak. I can only roughly sense that there are two or three people, but I'm not sure about their exact location. But what I can be sure of is that they are not too far away from us, probably no more than fifty meters."

"Okay, I understand. By the way, did you bring your cell phone? It's too dark here. Let's try to keep some light." The clinic was pitch dark, and no one knew what monsters were lurking in the dark. It would be a lot more reassuring if there was a light source at this time.

"But my phone is running low on battery, only about 30 percent left. I was in such a hurry to leave that I forgot to bring a power bank." The young man's tone was filled with embarrassment.

"I brought a power bank. Let's use my phone first. We both need to stay alert. Since we just escaped a disaster, we absolutely cannot die here now."

"Brother Xu, do you think... can we get back safely this time?" The young man always felt that his survival was just a dream, and now standing there still didn't feel it was very real.

In fact, Xu Wei knew that he had no right to say this, but he was worried that the man would think too much, so he could only nod and say, "Of course you can. Don't forget, there are people waiting for us at home. We have to give it a try even if it means risking our lives."

Just as Xu Wei finished speaking, he heard a very piercing "hissing" sound coming from outside. The sound was obviously from the white-haired monster they had seen before.

The young man's face instantly turned into one of fear, his entire body leaned completely against the wall behind him, and his breathing began to become rapid.

"Xu, Brother Xu, it seems to be those guys, what should we do?"

Xu Wei stared at the door closely, but there was no sign of the door being hit. Instead, the noise outside became louder and louder. And that noise was not just made by one white-haired monster, but more like more white-haired monsters gathered together.

Xu Wei finally made a decision and shone the flashlight on his phone towards the second floor stairs. "Go upstairs!"

The young man reacted immediately after hearing this, so he nodded quickly and followed Xu Wei's steps, moving towards the second floor step by step.

On the second floor, Gu Tongwan and Luo Mei were standing in the bone-setting clinic. Gu Tongwan opened the curtain and looked down. The scene downstairs is still unforgettable to her.

Gu Tongwan looked down through the glass window and saw lumps of snow on the ground, and vaguely saw white afterimages in the blizzard, but these were definitely not snowflakes.

Those things seemed unable to enter the building, or perhaps they did not have the ability to crawl and seemed to rely on wind and snow to survive.

"Sister Wanwan, what are you looking at?" Luo Mei saw Gu Tongwan had been sitting close to the window for a while, so she couldn't help but ask softly.

"Luo Mei, there seems to be something underneath."

Gu Tongwan's voice was not loud, but it had a sense of oppression, which made Luo Mei realize that the situation might not be simple, so she walked to the window, pulled open a small piece of the curtain and glanced down, but this glance immediately made Luo Mei exclaim.

There was a white thing squatting below, its eyes without pupils like two black holes staring at the window here.

"Sister Wanwan, what are those? Are they mutant beasts?"

"I don't know either, but it looks like a new type of animal or some kind of animal that mutated during this extreme cold weather. Don't you think they look a lot like apes?"

"I have never seen this kind of ape monster in the Monster Encyclopedia. Currently known ape mutants include the gorilla, the fire-type red-flame golden monkey, and several mutant monkeys, but I have never heard of this kind of mutant with white hair all over its body."

"Be careful. I feel like these things have bad tempers, and they're waiting down there like they're waiting for their prey to appear."

"Prey? Could it be us?" Luo Mei seemed to not believe it, so she turned her head to look down again, and found that one of the white-haired monsters seemed to have sensed her location. It raised its head and grinned fiercely in her direction, as if it wanted to eat her alive.

"What are these things? Sister Wanwan, how about... let's call the Security Bureau? We have no way to deal with these monsters." In Luo Mei's impression, whenever a mutant beast was discovered, unless the person himself was a mutant, he could only rely on the Self-Defense Forces or the Guard Team to suppress it. So Luo Mei's first reaction was to seek help from the Self-Defense Forces or the Guard Team. This was a correct judgment, but unfortunately, the nearest Security Bureau was about two kilometers away, and all the Security Bureaus were sent to assist various communities during this period. In the case of insufficient manpower, it would be difficult for the Self-Defense Forces to come to the rescue. This was also the most fundamental reason for the emergency evacuation of this health center.

"Didn't we just pass by the nearby security station? The gates there were tightly closed, and all the personnel had been dispatched to the headquarters. This is the case for at least all security stations within a ten-kilometer radius, and... unless the snow stops, these things will remain there."

When I was driving here, I passed a security station and found that the gate was closed. In addition, I heard from the forum that the Security Bureau recently dispatched a large number of personnel to various communities for rescue, and also sent an additional force to the underground city. It seems that something went wrong in the underground city. If it is not properly controlled, a new round of disaster may break out.

However, these were posted by several anonymous posts on the forum, and their authenticity remains to be verified.

"Are we going to be trapped here? And will these monsters rush in?" Luo Mei subconsciously tightened the golf club in her hand when she thought of the white-haired monster just now.

"Don't worry, it shouldn't happen in a short period of time. And haven't you noticed that they can only survive in the snow." Gu Tongwan's eyes fell on one of the white-haired monsters that had just emerged from the snow. It was obvious that they liked snow and relied on it.

After hearing what Gu Tongwan said, Luo Mei also began to look at the white-haired monsters gathered below.

At this time, there were about twenty or thirty such white-haired monsters gathered around the clinic, and some kept emerging from the snow. They were about one meter thirty-four tall and thin. Although their bodies were covered with white hair, it did not look fluffy, and they moved very fast. However, they should not have the ability to crawl, otherwise they would have started crawling along the outer wall of the clinic by now. But they are still squatting underneath, and seem to be enjoying the fun of killing prey.

"Then what should we do next?" Luo Mei was concerned about her family, mainly because she was worried about Zhou Ruchu. Even though Luo's father had returned home, he could not go out in such an environment. The family was short of supplies, and Zhou Ruchu's health could not be delayed any longer. She had to find a way to send the medicine back home as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, since these things can't come in, we will be safe here for the time being, but this does not mean that we have to sit and wait for death. By the way, I just saw the structural distribution map of the health center downstairs in the lobby. I remember there are several safety exits here. We may consider going out from other safety exits, but... this means we have to abandon our car, so the last resort is for one person to go out from other safety exits, and the other to get the car. You can't drive, so I'll do it." Gu Tongwan had already considered what to do next in a short time. The risk of two people acting together was too high. Luo Mei did not have the ability to fight, so she was the only one who could use the tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

"No, it's too dangerous. I can't let you go. If, if you must go, we should go together." For the first time, Luo Mei was so nervous that she was shaking all over. On the one hand, she was shocked that Gu Tongwan would take the risk to deal with these things. On the other hand, she didn't expect that at this critical juncture she would have to consider her own safety. She felt mixed emotions at the moment. Although they had been together for a short time, she didn't expect someone would take care of her at this time.

After hearing what Luo Mei said, Gu Tongwan couldn't help laughing: "You are too worried. Since I suggested that I cut the car, then I am sure I can get rid of those things."

Luo Mei was still skeptical: "Sister Wanwan, how about we wait here for a few days? My dad has already returned home. There is no need to worry too much for now. We can ask for help first."

"Silly girl, if we waited for rescue, we would have starved to death. Don't forget, most of our supplies are in the car."

The car was parked next to the main gate, and if one wanted to get back into the car, he would inevitably be exposed to the sight of those white-haired monsters.

Luo Mei wanted to say something but was suddenly silenced by Gu Tongwan's gesture.

"Something has gone up to the second floor." Gu Tongwan murmured softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and then she saw her move the baton that was originally in her left hand to her right hand.

The reason why the word "thing" is used here is because even Gu Tongwan herself is not sure whether the person who came up is a human or a mutant animal. After all, she is not a psychic and cannot sense the gender and type of life forms. She can only roughly perceive that something is moving towards the second floor.

Because Luo Mei had no combat experience at all, she could only follow Gu Tongwan all the time, holding the golf club tightly in her hand. If something really broke in, she would have to delay the opponent's action even if she couldn't kill it.

Along with the faint sound of heavy breathing, the slight sound was getting closer and closer to the door.

He deliberately slowed down his pace and remained alert at all times. Gu Tongwan had a rough guess in his mind that the person coming was not a monster but a human.

Gu Tongwan leaned her body as close to the door as possible so that she could take action immediately if anything broke in.

Just as Xu Wei and the young man went upstairs, the young man looked at him, pointed in the direction of the bone-setting clinic, and then raised two fingers, indicating that there were two people in the clinic.

Xu Wei nodded in understanding, then turned off the flashlight on his phone and raised the long knife in his hand.

Xu Wei held his breath, and finally and carefully pushed open the door of the orthopedic clinic. With a slight creaking sound, the door revealed a space that was roughly wide enough to accommodate a person.

Xu Wei did not dare to enter rashly. He held the long knife in his hand against the door. He quietly glanced at the darkness in the clinic and seemed to be able to smell the smell of bone-setting medicine coming from inside.

The young man next to him was also so nervous that his heart was in his throat, and his eyes were fixed straight ahead.

Originally, Xu Wei had no intention of rushing in, but at this moment, he heard the sound of a door being banged on the ground floor below. The first thought that came to Xu Wei's mind was that those white-haired monsters might be trying to enter the building.

The instinct for survival made Xu Wei take a few steps forward in panic. At the same moment, Xu Wei felt a sharp sound of something cutting through the air ringing in his ears. He was so scared that he dodged sideways, and then a loud "bang" sound came from the door panel.

Xu Wei could feel a solid object hitting him hard. If he hadn't reacted quickly, that object would have hit him right now.

The young man who heard the noise couldn't help but shouted "Brother Xu!", and then rushed in with a baseball bat, ready to fight at any time.

Gu Tongwan, who struck the first blow, already knew that there were indeed two people coming, but without knowing their purpose, he would regard them all as enemies.

"Is it a human?" Xu Wei murmured in confusion. He did not make any counterattack with the long sword in his hand. Instead, he let out a long sigh.

After hearing this, and judging that the other party had no intention of taking further action, Gu Tongwan's killing intent faded a little, but he remained highly alert and asked in a low voice: "Where are you from?"
