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

The reason why Gu Tongwan braved the snowstorm to deliver something to Xu Hang was, on the one hand, that she would need Xu Hang's help in the future, and secondly, Xu Hang had risked his life to help her several times before. It could be seen that Xu Hang was a loyal man with good character, and was someone worth associating with, so Xu Hang was one of her few friends in the base.

Since the weather is like this, the store is destined to not be able to continue operating in the short term. The things in the store will go bad sooner or later, so it is better to give them to people who really need them.

"Boss Gu, do you want to stay upstairs for a while?" Xu Hang saw the heavy snow outside, and thought of her bravely bringing him something, so he kindly invited her. But when he saw the teasing faces of his teammates, he immediately realized that if he had misunderstood what he had just said, then they had other intentions, so he hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant. I meant that it's too cold here, and it would be more comfortable to sit by the fire in our dormitory. I definitely didn't mean anything else."

Seeing his expression, Gu Tongwan couldn't help but smile: "I know, but I will go back after delivering the things to you. I have to rush to deliver something to another friend later."

After Gu Tongwan finished speaking, he took a cardboard box from the back of the pickup truck. The box looked quite heavy and made a slight noise when it fell to the ground.

"What's in the box?" one of the team members asked curiously.

Everyone's eyes were on the box. Although the box was covered with waterproof cloth, the entire box was only 80*80 cm in size, but you could feel that it was full of items.

"I got you some potatoes and some flour. The rest are some vegetables. If the weather is cold, you can put them on the balcony and store them for a while."

When sending Luo Mei back home, a box of things was also sent to her family, including 20 kilograms of potatoes, sweet potatoes, three large cabbages, 5 kilograms of flour, 5 kilograms of rice, and about 20 kilograms of charcoal left. Although there were not many things, it was enough for Luo Mei's family to use for a short while.

The most common things we brought out this time were potatoes and cabbages. These things are suitable for preservation and will not go bad for two or three months in this kind of weather.

Xu Hang couldn't help but open the waterproof cloth, and the emerald green and full-sized cabbages immediately came into view.

Not only cabbage, but also a lot of red-skinned potatoes and sweet potatoes can be seen underneath, and there is even a large bag of something that looks like a bag of rice and flour.

"One, two, three, four, five... Wow, so many cabbages?" The team members picked up one of the cabbages and weighed it in their palms. They found that each one weighed at least four or five kilograms. This one cabbage was enough for the people in their dormitory to eat for two or three meals.

"This can't be rice, my God, how long has it been since we last had rice?" Another team member opened the bag underneath and found that it was indeed rice with distinct grains. Moreover, the color of the rice was white, and each grain was almost the same size. If you get close, you can even smell a faint rice fragrance.

"We don't have much rice. I only prepared ten kilograms for you, and the same goes for flour. But we have a lot of sweet potatoes and cabbages. I thought it would be difficult for you to go out to buy vegetables during this period, so I came here on the way." Gu Tongwan couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he saw the excited expressions of several people. If a medium-sized guild like Xu Hang's was short of supplies, then the situation of other small guilds would be even more difficult.

Xu Hang stretched out his hand towards his teammates, and saw his teammates immediately handed over the two crystal cores that had been wrapped.

Gu Tongwan didn't know what it was at first, until he opened it and found out that it was a crystal core, and one of the B-level crystal cores that was not easy to get.

"This is what our team got before winter. We were originally planning to take it to the trading center to exchange for some supplies, but it happened to be extremely cold, so I'm giving it to you today as a gift."

"We agreed that I would give you things, so why are you asking for things in return now?" Gu Tongwan returned the crystal core. She gave these things with all her heart. If she only wanted to get something in return, there would be no need to make this detour.

Xu Hang also guessed that she would definitely not take it, so he looked at her with a smile and said, "Take it. Even if I didn't make this trip, I was planning to give it to you in the future. I see that you seem to have been collecting crystal cores, which means that crystal cores should be very important to you. Our team doesn't have many crystal cores, so even if we sell them, they won't be enough to buy a bottle of nutrient solution. It's better to give it to you."

Gu Tongwan hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Do the other team members agree?"

The team member who was still holding the cabbage in his hand and was reluctant to let go interrupted with a smile: "Of course I agree. Boss Gu, you are our other breadwinner. Your lunch boxes have already impressed the members of our guild. Let alone the crystal cores, I would even work for you for free."

Although they were joking, it was not difficult to hear that they were indeed obsessed with Gu Tongwan's lunch box.

Simply refusing was not a solution. Besides, she had originally planned to exchange more crystal cores for space upgrades. She had just exchanged thirty kilograms of flour, half a box of cabbage, and two boxes of self-heating rice for a C-grade crystal core and fifty kilograms of charcoal from Kong Tengfang. As there were not many supplies in the car, and she had to give them to other people later, she could not exchange all of them for crystal cores. After the blizzard weakened a little in a while, she planned to continue to maintain trading contact with Kong Tengfang. In this way, many things she needed privately might be bought or sold through Kong Tengfang's channels.

After a few people talked casually for a while, Gu Tongwan mentioned the encounter with the snow ape today. Xu Hang and others were shocked. Their guild issued a notice yesterday, saying that unknown white creatures had appeared in the base recently. According to limited information, these white creatures that appeared in the blizzard might be some kind of mutant beast living in the far north - the snow ape.

Generally speaking, when other mutant beasts appear in Jiangcheng or have sneaked into the base, except for the guard headquarters that gets the news first, the news from the guild will lag behind the guard. But now, only one day has passed, and snow apes have begun to appear in the inner and outer circles of the base and hunt humans as bait. This situation has reached the third level of abnormal state, but the base government has been slow to release any information to the public. It seems that they want to conceal the fact that the snow apes have infiltrated the base.

"Boss Gu, you are not injured, right? Snow apes are social mutants. They are less likely to be alone, but when they appear in groups, most psychics have difficulty dealing with them. How did you escape?"

Although Xu Hang had never hunted snow apes, the video footage obtained by the guild previously showed a B-level psychic encountering seven or eight snow apes, and finally had to use his supernatural powers to escape. However, the snow apes in the ice and snow environment are very powerful and their movement speed is terrifying.

Gu Tongwan shook his head and briefly explained how he was trapped in the store for the past few days and how he encountered the snow apes on the road. After hearing this, the faces of several people from the Far Sailing Guild gradually darkened.

"A group of snow apes, and they can hide in the snow. This is simply the best time and place. I understand why the base government wants to conceal this matter. If this matter is spread, these snow apes will most likely be used by other organizations, and secondly, it will cause panic among the people in the base."

"Now the base wants to hide everything, like the matter of the dungeon..." The member of the Far Sailing Guild obviously remembered another thing, and his face was full of indignation, but he was interrupted by Xu Hang before he could finish his words.

"Okay, we shouldn't discuss this. The president repeatedly ordered us not to discuss the dungeon too much at the meeting. Have you forgotten that you were deducted half a month's performance due to this incident last month?"

The team member curled his lips and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the dungeon."

Gu Tongwan certainly knew about the underground city. The video of the mutants shot by Liao Yunyun's team was clearly engraved in his mind.

"Boss Gu, it won't be safe for you to go back on the way. It's getting late now. How about I give you a ride on my motorcycle?" Xu Hang couldn't help but worry when he saw her, a girl, traveling late at night, and there were ferocious mutant beasts like snow apes in the base.

Gu Tongwan just smiled back: "No need, I still have some self-defense means, and... if I can't win, I can still run away. After all, I am a car. I'm afraid you will freeze to death as soon as you drive out on your motorcycle. Besides, I didn't encounter anything on the way here." Except for that strange black shadow that looked like a human but not a human.

Xu Hang had seen some of Gu Tongwan's methods and knew that it would not be as easy as he imagined for this young girl to gain a foothold in the base, so he did not continue to ask for an escort.

After leaving Xu Hang, he went to Zhang Youfan's house and finally returned to Liao Yunyun. When he arrived at Liao Yunyun's community, it was already 9:30 in the evening. The thermometer he carried with him showed that the temperature had dropped to minus 48 degrees Celsius, and even the car had difficulty driving on the road.

Liao Yunyun was still warming herself by the fire at home at the time, and had some noodles to make do with in the evening. In the past two days, she could only lie in bed and browse the forum or complain in the group about the weather and the base's rescue plan.

When Liao Yunyun received a call from Gu Tongwan at nine o'clock saying that he was on his way to her community, she almost fell off the sofa.

She was just complaining in the group that anyone who went out in this weather was an idiot, but she didn't expect that her best friend would be the one who got hit...

Liao Yunyun was wrapped in three layers of clothes, and felt like she was swaying like a penguin when she went down the stairs. Wearing so many clothes made it inconvenient for her to move. If her friend hadn't called to say that she was only two or three hundred meters away, she would never have gone out.

When Gu Tongwan drove to the downstairs of Liao Yunyun's unit, he found that the street lights in the entire community were completely damaged. It should be because the temperature was too cold and the snowstorm destroyed the lighting equipment, causing the entire community to be dark. Only the dim lights on the floors reminded people that there were still people living inside.

Fortunately, there is a carport in this community, and there are many cars parked inside, but most of the residential cars are covered with a layer of snow.

When Gu Tongwan carried the last box of things down, he heard hurried footsteps approaching not far away. He looked up and saw a round figure vaguely appearing in the blizzard.

"My dear sister, you are really risking your life by going out in this weather!" Liao Yunyun shouted at the top of her voice as soon as they met.

Liao Yunyun ran over almost in two steps. The blizzard blowing on her face was like a knife cutting into it. It was no longer a question of whether it was cold or not, it was simply a new kind of torture, tearing her skin and flesh apart.

Seeing Gu Tongwan was about to move the boxes, she quickly stepped forward to lend a hand, and the two of them struggled to carry the things up the stairs.

"You've got so many things for me. They're so heavy." Liao Yunyun was out of breath just after she climbed to the corner of the stairs to the second floor. First, the clothes she wore were too thick and it was inconvenient for her to move. Second, it was too cold. She had difficulty breathing and always felt that she was not getting enough oxygen.

"I didn't take too many things, mainly cabbage and potatoes." Gu Tongwan answered casually. When the two of them reached the corner of the stairs on the fourth floor, they saw that there were even fewer residents on this floor with the lights on, so they couldn't help but ask, "Are there not many people living here recently? Why don't they turn on the lights?"

"Oh, don't mention it. It tripped several times when the temperature just dropped. Every household turned on the electric heater or air conditioner, and the unstable voltage caused problems with the main switch. The power maintenance personnel came several times, but they didn't come out for inspection. Less than two days later, the circuit breaker continued to trip. At first, someone ran upstairs to push the switch back, but then the weather got colder and colder, and no one wanted to go out. They all stayed at home and burned charcoal to keep warm. But don't worry, someone will come over to take care of it soon. There is an electrician living on the second floor."

It turned out that the power was tripped. No wonder she said that she felt dead as soon as she entered the community. Although there were not many street lights in Luo Mei's community, at least after entering, you could vaguely see the lights on in every household in every building. It was a completely different atmosphere from this community.

"We're here, hurry into the house, don't let the heater run away." Liao Yunyun quickly took out the key to open the door, urging Gu Tongwan to go in quickly.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt that the temperature inside the house was much warmer than outside. There was a stove on the wall, and there was an outdoor power supply next to it to power the small solar heater. The 30-square-meter space became warm all of a sudden. The temperature inside the house can be maintained at about minus five or six degrees, but because there was charcoal burning in the stove, it was still quite warm when I got close to it.

"Is this the outdoor power supply you bought when you were camping before?" After seeing the power supply, Gu Tongwan remembered that Liao Yunyun used to be an outdoor mountaineering and camping enthusiast. She had traveled to other provinces to climb mountains with a group of hikers she met online, and bought a lot of outdoor equipment, such as tents, power supplies, gas tanks, and gas stoves.

"Fortunately, I didn't think it was troublesome to throw it away. This thing is very useful. It can be used for several days on a single charge. It can be used as an electric heater or electric blanket."
