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

The woman was wearing a long purple cotton coat, a white knitted beret, and a pair of about ten-centimeter-high mid-calf boots. She looked fashionable and beautiful.

The woman had a thin chin, but her facial features were pretty, though her curly hair made her look a little old. She was emitting a strong scent of perfume that could be smelled before one even saw her. It was not a high-end perfume, but rather a perfume made from mutant animals that was produced and sold by the base. This perfume was quite popular in the base, and would be sold out every time it was put on the shelves in supply and marketing cooperatives or stores.

However, Gu Tongwan was not very interested in perfume. She just felt that the smell in the store made her a little uncomfortable.

The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at him several times before she suddenly smiled: "It's really you, Gu Tongwan. I didn't expect you to survive?"

Seeing this familiar tone and smile, Gu Tongwan immediately thought of someone in his mind.

Her adoptive parents' biological daughter and her nominal sister, Zhao Zhenzhen.

Speaking of Zhao Zhenzhen, the two haven't seen each other for nearly eight years in this life. The last time they met was when Gu Tongwan had just been admitted to university. Zhao Zhenzhen was in her senior year of high school at that time. Because Gu Tongwan was admitted to a key university in their city at that time, his adoptive parents hoped that Gu Tongwan could help Zhao Zhenzhen review in his spare time.

To put it bluntly, at that time, the adoptive parents wanted Gu Tongwan to be a tutor for free. After all, although they had a high income, they were reluctant to spend several thousand yuan every month to find a tutor for Zhao Zhenzhen.

At that time, Gu Tongwan's tuition was still paid for by loan, so when others were enjoying campus life in their freshman year, Gu Tongwan had to consider how to earn enough living expenses for next month and tuition for next year.

Running between school and part-time job was already enough to make her feel breathless, but when her adoptive parents made this request, Gu Tongwan could only euphemistically say that she could give the test materials she had compiled last year to Zhao Zhenzhen, and that there was really no way to get one-on-one home tutoring. For this, her adoptive parents even called and scolded Gu Tongwan for half an hour.

In the end, I heard that the adoptive parents still found a tutor for Zhao Zhenzhen, but Zhao Zhenzhen had a poor foundation to begin with. She was able to get into a key high school because her adoptive father Zhao Yongming asked his friends in the Education Bureau to help her get in. She only scored more than 400 points in the liberal arts exam that year, barely enough to get into an ordinary second-tier college at the time. Because of this incident, Zhao Zhenzhen completely hated Gu Tongwan, believing that the reason she couldn't get into college was entirely because of her, and even instigated her adoptive parents to ask Gu Tongwan for the so-called "alimony" for a period of time.

Gu Tongwan also thought that the Zhao family would survive the apocalypse, but he didn't expect to meet them again many years later. And looking at Zhao Zhenzhen's current appearance, it seems that they are living a good life.

However, Zhao Zhenzhen's aggressiveness has never changed. She has been stirring up trouble since her adoptive parents found her when she was a child, and she has also instigated children in the neighborhood to exclude her.

"I didn't expect you were still alive. That's great." Gu Tongwan nodded, his tone relaxed with a hint of teasing, and there was no warmth in his cold eyes.

Zhao Zhenzhen originally thought that Gu Tongwan could not be alive. Although she felt sorry that she could not see Gu Tong's pitiful appearance struggling in the end times, she was also glad that the person she hated disappeared from this world.

When I first entered the store, I thought I had recognized the wrong person, but it turned out to be Gu Tongwan. She didn't look poor or down and out. On the contrary, her clothes seemed to be quite elegant. At least her coat and shoes looked new, and her face was clean and fair. Even after eight years, I couldn't see any signs of aging on her. The closer I looked, the more stunning she was.

Zhao Zhenzhen knew very early on that Gu Tongwan was extremely beautiful. Even her parents had privately said more than once that it was at the orphanage that they fell in love with the cute and pretty Gu Tongwan, which made her mother Liu Yuan feel compassion and insist on adopting her.

When the neighborhood where Zhao Zhenzhen's family lived was flooded, her family followed other residents into the rescue center. When the family of three was almost starved to death, Zhao Zhenzhen met a college classmate. The boy's family had some background, and he had always had a crush on Zhao Zhenzhen, so he found a way to arrange a place for Zhao Zhenzhen's family in the base. Zhao Zhenzhen took this as an opportunity to date him, but she didn't expect that two years ago, at the "Hunting Conference", the boy, who was also a superpower, mistakenly entered the restricted area of ​​the forest and was bitten to death by a mutant hyena. The boy's family was so sad that they pointed the finger of responsibility at Zhao Zhenzhen. If Zhao Zhenzhen hadn't been urging her son to participate in the hunting conference, there would be no accident. For this reason, she directly took back the house that she had rented for the Zhao family, and even had Zhao Yongming fired.

At that time, the Zhao family almost had to sleep on the streets and starve. It was a manager that Zhao Zhenzhen met when she worked as a salesperson in a small shopping mall at the base who took her family in. Unfortunately, the man had a wife before the apocalypse, but he was separated from his wife and children after the apocalypse. He tried many ways to find his wife but failed, and finally could only concede that his wife and children were gone. The man helped Zhao Zhenzhen because he liked her. After all, although Zhao Zhenzhen was not good-looking, Liu Yuan sent her to study ballet and piano for several years in junior high school, so her figure and temperament were different from those of ordinary girls. In addition, Zhao Zhenzhen was extroverted, the type that men liked very much.

It can be said that Zhao Zhenzhen's luck is relatively good. At least she did not suffer too much after the end of the world. But as her life settled down, Zhao Zhenzhen's ambition grew wildly. She was increasingly dissatisfied with the life of an ordinary person, and she had seen the lives of various upper-class circles in the inner circle. So Zhao Zhenzhen kicked that man out last month, and now she is following a rich second-generation man. The main reason is that this rich second-generation man is willing to spend money on her. Even the 60-square-meter apartment that the Zhao family lives in now is under the name of the rich second-generation man.

"Zhenzhen, is this your friend?" The rich second generation looked at Gu Tongwan. Although there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes, he quickly looked away. Instead, he lowered his head and asked Zhao Zhenzhen in an intimate manner.

Zhao Zhenzhen frowned, and a look of displeasure appeared on her face, but she returned to her original appearance in an instant, nodded, and introduced: "This is my parents' adopted daughter."

The rich second generation raised his eyebrows slightly, and then whispered: "Is that the ungrateful wolf you mentioned before?"

Although the rich second generation's voice was very low, perhaps because the store was too quiet, or perhaps because she had developed keen hearing while wandering outside in recent years, she heard every word of what she said.

It seems that Zhao Zhenzhen has been making up her own affairs in front of outsiders in recent years.

"It seems like you've been doing well these years. My parents were talking about you before. Since you're also at the base, why didn't you think of coming to see us?" Zhao Zhenzhen said with some complaint. In fact, it was not that she really cared about Gu Tongwan, but she had always portrayed herself in front of the rich second generation as a little white flower who was backstabbed by her ungrateful sister but still cared about her. That's why the rich second generation would occasionally soften his heart and indulge Zhao Zhenzhen's temper.

"How about this, since she is your sister and it's rare for you to get together, let's have a meal together later, and you sisters can reminisce and talk about the past." The rich second generation suggested with a smile, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on Gu Tongwan.

At this time, the salesperson had just settled the bill at the cashier counter. After handing the invoice to Gu Tongwan, he said, "Just swipe the card here."

Zhao Zhenzhen saw the scarf in the bag held by the waiter, and glanced at the discounted merchandise over there, so she deliberately said, "Which is the best coat you have? I want one that's warmer. The price doesn't matter, but the style and quality have to be good." The salesperson's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this. People who can work here are shrewd. From the current atmosphere, she could also tell that Zhao Zhenzhen was deliberately showing off in front of Gu Tongwan. However, the two men and one woman were dressed quite elegantly, especially the watch on the man's wrist, which was a limited edition sold at the base some time ago. It was a luxury brand that was very expensive even in the end times. The price now fluctuated around 20,000 points, and there was a limited number of purchases. Their mall only had ten watches of the same brand before, but they were sold out in less than half a day.

The fact that this man can afford this watch means he is a rich second-generation. No wonder the woman next to him is so arrogant and asks for the best cotton coat right away.

"Our best cotton jacket has just been put on the shelves. This is it. The quality and style are impeccable, and there is a 10% discount if you buy it now." The salesperson took out a lake blue mid-length cotton jacket from the window next to it. The style of this jacket did have more design sense than other clothes in the store.

Zhao Zhenzhen reached out her hand and took it. The salesperson was stunned at first, but then thought of the commission he was about to get and quickly handed it over without mentioning the rule that people here cannot touch clothes carelessly.

When Zhao Zhenzhen saw the three people born in the 2000s following the sign, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.

In fact, Gu Tongwan had noticed this coat before, but she was no longer interested after she determined that the price of more than 5,000 points was not worth the material.

The rich second generation obviously also saw the price on the sign, and was somewhat resentful in his heart that Zhao Zhenzhen was too spendthrift. He had just bought her a pair of short boots for nearly a thousand points on the first floor, but he didn't expect that she would now set her eyes on a more expensive coat. Although his family was rich, the money was in the hands of the old man, and his secretary recorded his monthly expenses. Ever since he started dating Zhao Zhenzhen, his account had only outflows and no income, and he spent money like water, and the old man often complained about him at home.

Gu Tongwan didn't care about Zhao Zhenzhen's deliberate showing off. After all, she was not the one spending the money. In her opinion, Zhao Zhenzhen's deliberate showing off not only did not make her feel disappointed, but instead made her feel like she was being taken advantage of.

"Zhenzhen, you should check out a few more stores. Didn't you just say that the clothes in the mall in the west of the city are pretty good?" The second-generation rich man tried to persuade his girlfriend in the softest of voices.

However, Zhao Zhenzhen disappeared when she was a child and was later found by the Zhao family. Zhao Yongming and Liu Yuan doted on their lost and found daughter so much that Zhao Zhenzhen developed an arrogant personality.

Zhao Zhenzhen immediately frowned when she heard her rich second-generation boyfriend's words, "What do you mean? You are reluctant to spend money, right?"

"It's not that I'm reluctant, I just think it's better to look at a few more stores." The rich second generation was probably humiliated in front of Gu Tongwan, so his expression began to look ugly and his tone gradually became impatient.

When Zhao Zhenzhen saw the displeasure in the rich second generation's eyes, her attitude softened immediately, and she quickly said coquettishly: "I just like this dress, and my birthday is coming soon, so I want to pick a birthday present."

Gu Tongwan's mouth twitched, and he felt more and more that there was something wrong with Zhao Zhenzhen. She had to catch him showing off her affection and making her presence felt, right?

After swiping the card, Gu Tongwan turned around and walked out of the counter with the bag in her hand. Zhao Zhenzhen stared at her figure for a while, but the rich second generation next to her hurriedly asked: "Why did your sister leave? Didn't we agree to have dinner later?" He wanted to get to know such a beautiful woman.

The smile on Zhao Zhenzhen's face suddenly became a little stiff, seeing that she failed to show off and her boyfriend's attitude. She was pretending to be elegant and refined in front of her just now, but she didn't expect that she would be exposed as soon as this man left. But it was no wonder that she fell in love with Gu Tongwan. Her sister had been coquettish since she was a child, and she looked cold and noble, so it was hard not to attract men's attention.

"Eat? She hurt our family so badly back then. Even if I'm willing to repair our sisterly relationship, she might just want to take advantage of our family. Besides, I've been vain since I was a child. I insist on going to the mall to buy things even though I clearly don't have the ability to do so." Zhao Zhenzhen took the opportunity to DISS the other party crazily after everyone left.

The rich second generation was skeptical about this. After all, the other party's behavior and words did not seem to be what Zhao Zhenzhen said.

After Gu Tongwan left, Zhao Zhenzhen was unable to buy the dress. The rich second generation was reluctant to spend so much money, and in the end he could only half-persuade and half-coax her into buying a sweater for the woman.

When the two of them left the mall and went to the parking lot, they suddenly found that there were several people surrounding their car. One of them was Zhao Zhenzhen's sister. There were also two other men with their hands on their hips, staring at the silver-gray sedan he was driving with gloomy faces.

"Who is the idiot who parked the car? If you don't know how to reverse, don't do it. My car is scratched!"

The cursing man glared at the silver-gray sedan. If someone hadn't been watching him, he would have kicked it twice. The person who was reversing the car must be an idiot. There was a distance of almost one meter on the left, but the car next to him insisted on reversing in. It must be that his brain was caught in the door or he didn't know how to drive at all.

At this time, more and more people gathered around, most of them were attracted by the man's loud voice. The parking boy kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He roughly knew whose car it was, but he also secretly cursed the two men for causing trouble for him.

"Whose car is this? If you don't say anything I'll just tow the fuck away!" The man whose car was scratched was still yelling, unable to suppress his anger.
