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

Civil servants' quarters

After being thrown into the corridor, Lao Qi originally tried to escape. In fact, his injuries were not serious. The wound on his neck was not deep. Although the wound was frozen, he only needed to temporarily use his supernatural powers to maintain his body temperature and prevent his body temperature from dropping too quickly. His life would not be in danger at all.

Unfortunately, Lao Qi didn’t know that from the moment he entered the house, some “things” had already entered his body.

In fact, Gu Tongwan had already released the branches of the blood vine in his body outside the room earlier. The blood vine is a plant that fears cold and loves heat, even the branches are the same. When it is cold, it will stay in the host's body unless it feels extremely hungry.

This time, she used her ability to share mind with the blood vine to force the blood vine branch that was cowering in her body to wake Cui up and then released it. In her mind, she had already given the blood vine branch an order not to harm Liao Yunyun. At this time, Old Seven, who appeared in the room, became the bait that the blood vine was eager to eat and consume enough calories.

This time, Gu Tongwan released all the blood vine branches in his body, a total of twelve blood vine branches. In the field of vision that only Gu Tongwan could see, all the blood vine branches were like winding creatures, gradually crawling towards Lao Qi's direction and successfully penetrating into Lao Qi's skin.

"Wanwan, the knife you stabbed just now was not deep. If we let him go, will this guy come looking for revenge on us later?" Liao Yunyun was afraid that a disaster would happen if she let Lao Qi go, so she couldn't help but remind him.

However, Gu Tongwan just shook his head: "He won't live long."

Although Liao Yunyun wanted to continue asking, the doubts in her heart suddenly disappeared when she saw her friend's confident look. She believed that since Gu Tongwan said so, then Old Seven would definitely not survive.

Lao Qi covered the wound on his neck with one hand and cursed Liao Yunyun's closed door in his heart, but what he didn't know was that whether it was the wound on his neck or the palm that was pierced by the thumbtack before, the blood stains that had originally solidified were licked clean by something in an instant.

As Lao Qi walked back, he was thinking angrily in his heart about how to take revenge on these two people in the future. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the stairs, his body suddenly shook violently, and his limbs began to twitch uncontrollably. The next moment, blood began to flow out of his mouth, and his entire throat seemed to be filled with blood, and breathing became even more difficult than before.

"Pfft!"

After a dull sound, Lao Qi had silently rolled down and fell in a corner of the stairs. Only his constantly shaking body proved that his life was rapidly dissipating.

In just five or six minutes, more than a dozen full blood vine branches emerged from the shriveled body.

After a while, some of the remaining blood vine branches that were still unsatisfied began to eat the skin under them.

When all the blood vine branches returned to the house, Gu Tongwan frowned with a little disdain. Liao Yunyun thought she was worried about the revenge of the Wild Wolf Mercenaries, so she said, "Wanwan, why don't we leave now? If this mercenary group really finds something unusual, we won't be able to deal with it."

Gu Tongwan glanced at the balcony door that had been closed again. Through the glass, she could still see the raging snow outside. The snow had become much heavier than when she first arrived. So she shook her head and said, "No, it's snowing too hard now. If we go out rashly, it might be dangerous. If the car breaks down or has other problems and gets stuck on the road, our chances of survival will be even lower."

Liao Yunyun suddenly picked up the boiling water from the relit stove and poured a cup for Gu Tongwan. Then she said with a guilty conscience, "I contacted the guards when I went to the toilet just now."

Who knew that Gu Tongwan raised his eyebrows and asked: "And then?"

"The call didn't go through at first." Liao Yunyun poured herself another cup. She wasn't thirsty, but she felt a little more at ease holding the cup in her hand, so she continued, "Then I called the second guard team."

Gu Tongwan seemed to see through everything and deliberately asked with a smile: "Did Chen Yanxi agree to come?"

"Well, he said he would come here as soon as possible with his team." Liao Yunyun answered quickly, and glanced at her friend, fearing that her friend would be angry about this.

Gu Tongwan just lowered his head and took a sip of hot water, and whispered: "It's okay to let him do this, because I feel something is wrong in the community."

"Ah? What's wrong?" Liao Yunyun looked nervous.

"I can't tell. I'm wondering if the previous member of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group who died was attacked by a snow ape." After all, snow apes have invaded the base, and the attack was also at night that day. In addition, the blizzard intensified, which undoubtedly provided the best hunting grounds for these snow apes. But there was one thing Gu Tongwan couldn't understand. Snow apes are clearly social creatures. The snow apes that appeared in the health center that day were also in groups, but according to the previous owner of Unit 5, the thin and strange figure that appeared in the corridor was alone, which was really not like the hunting habits of snow apes.

"Should we use something to block the door? If there is real danger, a door will be of no use." Liao Yunyun remembered that her friend mentioned that snow apes are human-eating and have a bad temper. They like to treat their prey in the most cruel way, so she felt a little traumatized.

"It's okay for now. Didn't you just replace the door of your house? At least it's better than others. Unless those monsters break the door together, the stainless steel door is not so easy to be broken. But we still need to be careful when we sleep at night. By the way, Yan Fan just sent a message that he will probably arrive this afternoon. He will have to rest here by then. I took a look and let him rest in the hall for the time being." The main purpose of letting Yan Fan come here is to deal with the people from the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group who may cause trouble next. On the other hand, they are also worried that the snow apes will attack the community, so they can only make preparations for both situations.

"You are such a loyal little brother. You asked someone to drive here even in such heavy snow. Aren't you worried about accidents?" Liao Yunyun couldn't help but complain, but there was a hint of envy in her tone. At least in the end times, it is a great fortune to know a few people who are sincere to her.

Gu Tongwan stretched out his hand and placed it on the edge of the stove to warm it, his expression indescribably relaxed, "Not really. With Aoao and Tutu by my side, ordinary mutants dare not approach. Secondly, Yan Fan's level has now reached B level, and he can easily control the wind and snow. It can be said that this kind of environment is like a fish in water for him."

Liao Yunyun nodded and showed a look of regret, "Why don't we have superpowers? Let alone high-level superpowers like S-level or A-level. Even if I have a D-level, it would be good. At least I can have a superpower to protect myself or support myself."

It was 3:10 in the afternoon. It took Yan Fan nearly four hours to get to the Civil Servants' Quarter, which had started at 11 in the morning. However, the civil servants' quarters were only four kilometers in diameter, so it should have taken less than ten minutes to drive there. Unfortunately, the road was blocked by collapsed houses due to snow accumulation, or there was a problem with the navigation. It was impossible to identify the direction in the snowstorm. After all, all the houses were covered with a thick layer of white snow, and the buildings in the base looked basically the same. In the past, one could use the real-time updated navigation to identify the direction, or the billboards and road signs along the way. In addition, the snow was too thick, the friction between the tires and the ground decreased, and the driving speed gradually slowed down.

Yan Fan arrived exhausted, but when he was downstairs, he realized that something was wrong in the community. He also saw several people emerging from other apartment buildings. These people were wearing thick cotton jackets, holding sticks, and some even had pistols. The last two people were holding several black bags. This group of people were heading in the direction of the community gate. After a while, another black business car came from the east. After everyone got on the business car, the car slowly drove out.

With one more person and two dogs in the house of more than 30 square meters, the space seems even more cramped.

Liao Yunyun hadn't seen Aoao and Tutu for a long time, and she was not as afraid of these two giant dogs as she was at the beginning. However, she still chose to hug Aoao, who was relatively gentle and friendly. As for the cold Tutu, she still felt a little scared when facing him, especially Tutu's disdainful eyes, which made Liao Yunyun feel like she was being disliked by a dog.

General Yan Fan told Gu Tongwan what he saw downstairs, and even speculated that these people went out at this critical moment, probably because they noticed something was happening in the community, or maybe they had something urgent, but it must be something that would make people go out in the wind and snow.

"You said that the leader's clothes had the words 'Linghai' embroidered on the back, right?" Liao Yunyun asked.

"Linghai Property, if I'm not mistaken, everyone is wearing the same coat. They should be the property staff of the community." The psychic has excellent eyesight. Even though there is a distance of forty or fifty meters in the snowstorm, Yan Fan can still see clearly.

"It really is someone from the property management, but why would they choose to leave the community at this time? Could something really have happened in the community? But I didn't see anyone mention this in the owner group?"

"The management chose to leave quietly at this time. According to what you said, this management is greedy for money. They actually gave up the entire community at this time. That means they must have noticed the abnormality in the community in advance. If it were just the wild wolves, the management would not be afraid of them at this juncture." Gu Tongwan pointed his finger on the teacup, and increasingly believed that the abnormality in the community was related to the snow ape or some mutant creature.

Liao Yunyun's face was filled with bitterness. "Why is it our community again? You said that the last incident made everyone in our community panic. I still have nightmares occasionally at night. This time our community has something wrong again. I really regret that I tried every possible way to apply for the community purchase quota. This is not the stable life I dreamed of. It's like walking on a tightrope, and there are thorns all over the way ahead."

"In fact, this may not be a bad thing. If there really are snow apes roaming around in the community, this may be an opportunity to expose the snow apes to everyone. At present, the base must be deliberately concealing this matter, but if the matter cannot be covered up, the higher-ups will definitely send people down to provide support, which may help to contain the mercenaries."

"I agree with what Sister Wanwan said. Before I came here, I investigated the people of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group in several forums. Their boss is called Dang Hui, who is 45 years old this year. He has been wandering in several cities in the past few years since the end of the world. He is a person who will do anything as long as he has money, and he will do anything to achieve his goals. A few years ago, he led the entire Wild Wolf Mercenary Group to massacre a tribe of wanderers. Dozens of people died at the hands of these people. Someone in He City has already offered a reward for his capture, but this person is very cunning. He denied everything he had done in the past few years and changed his name to Xiang Hui. He used the rich supplies here at the base to After I established connections, I got the permanent resident badge. In the six months since I entered the base, I received more than a dozen missions, more than half of which were assigned by the leaders of non-governmental forces in the base, so they maintain good relations with these forces. I also found a post that mentioned Xiang Hui. On the surface, this person is only a B-level psychic, but his true strength has reached A-level. B-level is just a smokescreen he deliberately released to the outside world to confuse people. On the one hand, he doesn't want the government faction to notice him, and on the other hand, he may be hiding his strength. "

"If that's the case, we have to be careful. After all, I heard that the boss of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group is vindictive. We just provoked them, and I'm afraid he won't let us go easily." Liao Yunyun was not so optimistic. She didn't think that the wound would kill Lao Qi. What if that person really escaped...

Gu Tongwan knew what his friend was worried about, so he smiled and said, "That would only work if the person could go back alive and file a complaint."

At 5:20 p.m., the Wild Wolf Mercenaries realized that something might have happened to Lao Qi after they realized that Lao Qi had not returned and had not contacted the team via walkie-talkie or cell phone.

But considering that the snowstorm has not stopped and the property manager Ling Hai is also in a state of vacancy, Xiang Hui is keenly aware that Xiang Hui and all the property staff are not simply leaving.

At 8:05 in the evening, Chen Yanxi, who had just arrived from completing other tasks, appeared at the door of Liao Yunyun's house, and everyone could clearly see that the long sword "Lengshuang" in his hand was shaking slightly.

"All the members of the Wild Wolf Squad are dead." This was the first sentence Chen Yanxi said after arriving.

Liao Yunyun didn't know how to react. She just opened her mouth and then closed it. Finally, her eyes fell silently on the frost blade.

Gu Tongwan heard the hidden meaning in Chen Yanxi's words and frowned slightly: "How did he die?"

Chen Yanxi's eyes reflected a cold light because of the snow outside, but only when his gaze fell on her, there was always a hint of imperceptible tenderness. Although his voice was still low and cold, it was still much lighter.

"He was tortured and bitten to death."

This sentence immediately caused everyone to look surprised.
