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

"We were trapped in the store before, and this time we came out to go home." Gu Tongwan explained concisely.

"It's too dangerous for you two girls to travel alone. Where do you live?"

Facing the question from the Self-Defense Force members, Luo Mei was about to speak but was blocked by Gu Tongwan who stepped forward and said, "It's not far away. We drove here ourselves." As he said that, he pointed to the pickup truck not far ahead.

At this time, two people came down from the car tremblingly. They were Xu Wei and Xiao Li. Xiao Li was still supporting Xu Wei. The long sword in Xu Wei's hand was obviously shaking. It seemed that the exhaustion of his supernatural power had a great impact on him. If it weren't for Gu Tongwan's car, he would probably not be able to walk long distances in the blizzard.

The two were frightened by the gunshot at first, but after finding the white-haired monster lying in a pool of blood, they realized that the other party should be a government official, so they thought about asking for help.

"Is it the Self-Defense Force?" Xu Wei asked hurriedly.

When Xu Wei saw the Self-Defense Forces, he seemed to see hope, and immediately pulled Xiao Li and jogged downstairs.

"What's going on with you two?" After seeing Xu Wei and Xiao Li, another member of the Self-Defense Force raised the gun in his hand with some caution, but did not aim at the two of them immediately. He just took a defensive posture first.

"No, we followed them here. We are with them. We are definitely not suspicious people." Actually, it would have been fine if they had not said this originally. Once they said this, it made the two of them seem more like they were trying to hide something.

Fortunately, Gu Tongwan explained it clearly for them: "We met them on the road, and later we encountered a group of these white-haired monsters near the health center. We cooperated a little and escaped from the hands of those white-haired monsters."

"You also encountered snow apes?"

The Self-Defense Force members were very surprised when they heard that they had also encountered snow monkeys. They thought that the snow monkeys were only nearby, but they did not expect that the snow monkeys had already gone deep into other places, and the number of snow monkeys was beyond their previous judgment.

"How many snow apes have you found?" Another person in the team looked at Xu Wei who was speaking. This person had a low voice and his attitude was not as anxious as the previous Self-Defense Force member. Moreover, as soon as he spoke, the others fell silent instantly, which made people realize that he might be the leader of this team.

Xu Wei briefly recounted what they had encountered, but because he didn't know how Gu Tongwan dealt with the group of snow apes outside the clinic, he subconsciously turned his head to look at her when he mentioned this.

"A few of them ran away, and I shot the others." He raised the small pistol in his hand and added, "I bought the pistol through normal channels. After all, I am a girl who often has to go out to deliver goods, and I can't do without something to protect myself. After all, I am not a psychic who can easily use my superpowers."

The captain of the Self-Defense Force nodded in understanding. They had been working in the Security Bureau for quite a while and had seen many cases where girls suffered because they did not resist immediately after being bullied. Sometimes, even if they wanted to vent their anger for these girls, they were powerless because the girls kept silent and the perpetrators escaped or found evidence afterwards. Most of these girls were ordinary people walking at night on their way home from get off work, but there were also a few who were aware of the situation and carried weapons to fight back against the criminals.

"I'm glad you're okay. It's best to learn how to protect yourself these days. By the way, which direction did those snow apes run in? Did you see clearly?"

"Probably went east, but I'm not sure because they hid in the snow to escape." Gu Tongwan answered casually, but when he heard the Self-Defense Forces' description of these white-haired monsters, he became curious and asked back, "You call these white-haired monsters snow apes. Is this a new type of mutant animal?"

"It's not a new type. It's a mutant ape from the far north that thrives on blizzards. The official name for it is 'snow ape'. As you can see, it's an animal covered with white hair. It should only appear in areas below minus 30 degrees Celsius, and mostly in the north. Our Jiangcheng has a subtropical rainforest climate, so normally there won't be snow apes. The higher-ups are still investigating the real reason why these snow apes appear in the south. Although snow apes only appear in extremely cold weather, they are social animals. If you have a weapon or a D-level or higher psychic, you can deal with one or two of them. But if they appear in groups, they have a strong attack power. At this time, it's best to hide in a building or a confined space without wind and snow. Once the snow apes are out of the blizzard, they will gradually become disoriented and dizzy. This is also the best time to attack them or escape."

"So it's a monster from the north. I said I've never seen it in the encyclopedia of mutant animals in Jiangcheng." Luo Mei couldn't help but complain, but didn't notice the doubt that flashed across Gu Tongwan's eyes.

These monsters also came from the Far North. The origin of the mutants encountered in the dungeon before was also the Far North. Does this mean that with the changes in the weather, or to be more precise, with the abnormal climate of the earth, all climate systems have been broken? In this case, some animals or mutant beasts in the north are very likely to gradually migrate to the south, and even some animals in the entire southern hemisphere may have begun to move to the northern hemisphere without knowing it.

If her speculation is accurate, this may be a new test for mankind, especially as new types of mutant beasts continue to appear. As the levels of mutant beasts gradually increase, humans need more high-level psychics, but at present, there are no more than twenty SS-level psychics in the world.

"We will go back to the Self-Defense Force headquarters in a while. If it's on your way, we can lead the way for you." The captain of the Self-Defense Force saw that some of them were either girls or weak (Xu Wei), and was worried that something might happen to them on the way, so he made a kind suggestion.

Xu Wei and Xiao Li naturally wished for the protection of the Self-Defense Force, and immediately smiled and thanked them, but Gu Tongwan declined: "No, we need to take a detour to deliver some supplies to our friends later, so it can't be considered as a stop." After saying that, he turned to Xu Wei and Xiao Li and said: "Originally, we agreed to take you to the vicinity of Ronghua Road, and now we just happened to meet the Self-Defense Force. I remember that the headquarters of the Self-Defense Force is over there in your community. If you want to take our car, you have to take a detour, so let's split up here."

"Okay, thank you, beautiful lady." Xu Wei was not pretentious. He knew what was best for him in the current situation, so he decided to go back with the Self-Defense Forces.

Originally, Xiao Li next to her wanted to say a few more words to Luo Mei. After accidentally seeing Luo Mei taking off her mask, he had developed a crush on her. Naturally, he was reluctant to give up the opportunity to go further. However, seeing that Xu Wei had decided to leave with the Self-Defense Forces, and Gu Tongwan also had an attitude of keeping people at a distance, he could only curl his lips. No matter how he looked at him, he looked reluctant to leave.

"Luo Mei, let's go." Gu Tongwan would not pay attention to Xiao Li's little thoughts. In her opinion, the most important thing now was to quickly deliver the things in the car to the right people, and then let Luo Mei return home safely.

Xiao Li withdrew his gaze only after the pickup truck completely disappeared in the vast snow. A member of the Self-Defense Force next to him couldn't help but tease: "Young man, don't look at it anymore. It's gone. It won't come back even if you look again."

"What do you know? This is called the melancholy of first love. Unfortunately, I haven't even had the chance to express my feelings yet and we are destined not to be together."

Xu Wei couldn't help but roll his eyes and said unhappily, "You don't even know her name. We've been together for less than half an hour and haven't said more than three sentences. What's the point of being in love with her? Hurry up and calm down. We still need to see if there's anyone selling charcoal in the Self-Defense Forces."

"Ah, are you still thinking about charcoal?" Xiao Li cried out.

"Oh, do you think it's easy for us to take risks and come out? And you don't even think about the situation at home. No matter how hard we work, we can't let our family wait in vain."

Because Gu Tongwan was delayed on the road for a while, he originally planned to go to Liao Yunyun's community first, but as it was getting dark, he was worried that Luo Mei would be in danger again if she followed him, so he decided to send Luo Mei back first.

At 6:45 in the evening, it was already completely dark, so the car had to slow down to about 20 miles per hour. Fortunately, there was no emergency behind us. When the car entered the Luomei community, we heard someone next to us finally heaving a sigh of relief.

As soon as I drove to the downstairs of the apartment building, I saw a long shadow in front of me stretched by the street lights.

Luo Mei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, straightened her back, tears glistening in her eyes, "She's from my family!"

Ten minutes before Luo Mei was about to arrive, Luo Mei's brother Luo Cheng and Luo's father were so anxious that they were fidgeting at home. Zhou Ruochu seemed much calmer. Looking at the father and son pacing around the house, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't leave. Our house is so small. I feel dizzy watching you guys coming and going."

"How can I not worry? This road is so dangerous. What if the car breaks down or can't go anywhere, or if the snow collapses and we have to take a detour?"

Mr. Luo returned two days ago. The journey back was extremely difficult. First, they encountered a snowstorm. As the snow accumulated more heavily, it blocked the original way home. So their makeshift team was forced to take a long detour, which delayed them by almost half a day compared to before.

On his way back this time, Father Luo met several groups of people who were trapped in shops because of the snowstorm. As the snowstorm was getting bigger and bigger, some of the trapped people could not wait for the rescue team, so they could only find ways to save themselves. Some people who were eager to return home planned to take the risk to go home and reunite with their families, which was the same idea as Father Luo's.

It is normal for a father to worry that his daughter may encounter danger on the road. What's more, Luo Mei is still young. She goes out to work to reduce the burden on her family. If it weren't for the end of the world, Luo Mei should have just started to enjoy college life.

Zhou Ruochu was actually worried about his daughter, but half an hour ago his daughter called to tell him that she was on her way to the community with her boss. At least he felt relieved knowing that his daughter was safe.

"Didn't Luo Mei say that she was delayed for a while because she had to go to the hospital to find medicine? Let's be patient, she will be back in half an hour."

"Luo Mei said before that her boss is a girl?" Luo's father turned his head to look at Zhou Ruchu, with worry and some doubt in his eyes.

At this time, Luo Cheng stood up and suddenly interrupted: "I know, I know, I have seen this person."

"How have you seen it? Haven't you been to the store before?" Father Luo looked at Luo Cheng curiously.

Luo Cheng immediately shook his head: "I haven't been to the store, but I have seen this person. I saw her in the community last time. At that time... uh... it was just a misunderstanding. Anyway, it was indeed a woman. Later, my sister told me that the woman who interviewed her was a bit fierce at that time."

"You got into trouble at that time, right? Otherwise, why would people be so mean to you?" Father Luo knew his son's temper very well, and he immediately frowned and glared at his younger son.

Zhou Ruochu probably heard Luo Mei mention the store owner, so she said, "It was the owner who sent your sister back this time, which shows he's a nice guy. Remember to say hello when you see him later. Also, you have to apologize to him for what happened last time." Luo Mei did not hide the last incident from Zhou Ruochu, and she knew that her son was so naughty that he almost broke into someone's car, so she felt embarrassed.

At this time, Luo's father wanted to ask what happened last time, but Luo Cheng was worried about being scolded, so he immediately winked at Luo's father frantically.

Fortunately, Zhou Ruochu didn't plan to continue talking about this matter. He sighed helplessly and changed the subject: "I'll go down with you two later. Luo Mei said she brought back some things, and I also want to say something to the boss."

Upon hearing this, Father Luo immediately shook his head in worry: "No, no, your health has been getting worse recently. You should rest. It's so cold outside. What if your cough gets worse?"

This time, Luo Cheng held the same opinion as his father. "Yes, Mom, you've been coughing because it's cold recently, and you just recovered from your cold. Don't go back and forth. When the boss comes later, I will apologize to him. Just stay at home."

"I'll talk to the other party later. How could I be so inconsiderate when they specially sent Luo Mei back?" Luo's father knew of course that his wife wanted to thank them. There are not many people willing to take risks for a stranger these days. This is even more of a favor to their Luo family. It is reasonable for Zhou Ruchu to want to thank them in person.

As the family was talking, they heard the sound of car tires rolling on the snow outside. Luo Mei was finally back!
