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

The sudden knock on the door interrupted the conversation of the three people. Cai Min and Cai's mother quickly exchanged glances. Cai's mother stood up while wiping her hands on her apron, and even muttered: "Maybe your father forgot to bring the key when he came back. He is always like this."

In fact, Cai's mother was very sure that the person knocking on the door was not Cai's father. She had repeatedly told Cai's father to bring his keys when he went out in the morning. Secondly, even if Cai's father didn't bring his keys, he would only shout twice outside and would never bang on the door like that.

After Cai's mother left, Cai Min muttered a few words in a low voice: "Do you think my house is Fu Wenpei's? Why are you knocking on the door like that? If the door breaks later, I will definitely find them to account!"

Gu Tongwan heard the complaint in Cai Min's tone, so he asked softly, "The person outside shouldn't be my uncle, right?"

Cai Min originally didn't want to mention this matter, but thinking that if Cai's mother couldn't stop those people, Gu Tongwan would also know about them, so she nodded, and an unconcealable disgust immediately overflowed from her eyes.

"People from various guilds formed the census team."

"Census team? What to investigate?" Gu Tongwan was stunned. It was the first time he heard of this.

Cai Min could only smile bitterly: "Population census"

Gu Tongwan thought he had heard it wrong, but after seeing the helpless smile in Cai Min's eyes, he knew he had heard it right.

"Our camp conducts a population census every month. To put it nicely, it's for the development of the camp, but in fact it's a disguised investigation of every household to see if there are any suspicious people or things happening recently. This has been done since the early days of the camp. In the beginning, it was only the security team arranged by the government that conducted the census, but since the second half of last year, this work has been entrusted to various guild organizations. Since last year, the environment of the camp has been made a mess by these people!" Cai Min was so angry when he said this, and his speaking speed also became faster.

"Census? Even if it's a census, isn't once a month too frequent? Wouldn't that be a waste of human resources?"

"Haha, a waste of human resources? I think they are eager to do more of these censuses." Cai Min pushed all the peanut shells on the table into the bag, but his eyes were looking outside the yard.

In fact, the base also has a census, but it is usually conducted once every six months or a year. Generally, the person in charge of each area arranges staff to conduct the investigation, and the person must bring his or her ID card to the certificate office of the transaction center to register his or her identity within two months. If the registration review is not carried out within two months, the base will publish a list on the forum and may face certain fines.

Because there are many residential areas in the base, and there are certain property and community management personnel responsible for this work, the overall investigation work is much more convenient.

But the frequency of checking once a month in the camp was obviously not normal. And it was obvious from Cai Min's words that there seemed to be other reasons for this matter.

Cai's mother had been out for about seven or eight minutes. Cai Min stood up with some concern: "I'll go see what's going on. Usually I'll just ask a few questions and then leave. Why did it take so long today?"

After seeing Cai Min go out, Gu Tongwan also followed her to the door. About seven or eight meters away, he could see two men standing at the gate of the yard. As soon as Cai Min walked over, the two men immediately looked her up and down, and then a playful smile appeared on their faces.

Although there was some distance between them, Gu Tongwan still heard Cai Min arguing with the other party.

"Didn't you come just last month? It's only been less than a month. I've already told you that there are only five people in my family, and I've paid this year's resident tax. Why are you still asking me questions?"

"Beauty, resident taxes have nothing to do with our census this time. We just want to confirm whether anyone has visited your home recently." The man was holding a notebook in his hand, and it looked like he was here to inspect work, but in fact, his frivolous and playful attitude made people feel uncomfortable.

Cai's mother and Cai Min were blocking the door, because if they didn't do it properly, the two men would soon break into the house.

"What do you mean by "there are people or not"? Does it have anything to do with you whether my family has a few more relatives or friends?" Cai Min is a person who doesn't want to suffer losses. In addition, he has dealt with all kinds of people in his many years of doing business. He also knows that he cannot soften his attitude at this time. Once he is considered to be easy to bully, the other party will become more and more aggressive.

The two men still had smiles on their faces. One of them said, "Beauty, that's not what I meant. It's okay for relatives and friends to visit you, but there are many unregistered vagrants in the camp recently, and some people who are not from the camp who may have climbed in from the back mountain. In addition, the security team is short of staff during the Spring Festival, so they can only entrust part of the work to our guild. So we are also doing this in an impartial manner, and please cooperate with us."

"Cooperate? Am I not cooperating with you now? I have already answered all your questions. What's the matter now? Do you still want to search my house?" Cai Min raised her head and put her hands on her hips, not giving the other party any good look.

The two men wanted to say something, but Cai's mother said, "The security team has already checked our situation. If there is a problem, they would have dealt with it severely. You should go check other houses."

The other man who was blocked at the door spotted Gu Tongwan standing under the eaves, so he raised his chin and nodded: "Who is that? I remember there are no other young women in your records?"

"You didn't give it to my friend who came to visit? Besides, my friend has already registered with the public office in the camp and paid the detention fee. All the procedures were handled normally. If you don't believe me, you can go to the office and check it yourself. Just look up my house number."

“How about this, you ask your friend to come out for a moment, and we’ll ask some questions to make sure there’s no big problem.” The man tapped the notebook with the pen in his hand. Although he had a smile on his face, his tone began to sound a little aggressive.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, there was a loud engine sound suddenly, and a three-wheeled vehicle drove to the gate of the Cai family. Three men got out of it. Cai Min looked familiar with one of them. It seemed that he was the man she had seen in the first round of arm wrestling competition at the pig-killing banquet competition last night.

"What are the people from the Against the Wind Guild doing here?" Cai Min muttered quietly and then found that his sleeve was pulled.

"Xiao Min, I think something is wrong. Your father and Xuesong are not at home. This is too coincidental. How about I call Cai Xing and ask him to come back quickly?" Cai's mother asked worriedly.

"Wait, Mom, don't be anxious. Let's see what the situation is first. Besides, Dad and Xuesong will be back at noon. What can they do to us in broad daylight if our family has not broken the law?" Although Cai Min felt a little uneasy, she was afraid that her mother would worry too much, so she quickly comforted her.

The three men who got off the three-wheeled motorcycle compared their number plates and looked at Cai Min. Before they could speak, a man who was originally conducting the census came forward and started chatting enthusiastically: "Hey, isn't this Brother Zhou? Are you here for a mission today?"

The man called Brother Zhou was the psychic who had arm wrestled with the skinny guy in the first round of the competition last night. He looked even more burly during the day, and there was a sense of hostility between his brows. In addition, he seemed to want people to know that he was a psychic. He did not bother to hide his supernatural pressure but released it at any time. However, this man's supernatural level was not high, and the blood vines on the back of Gu Tongwan's hand simply reacted and then returned to calm.

The man called Brother Zhou didn't even look at the person who greeted him. Instead, he walked straight to Cai Min and asked, "Is this the Cai family? You and your wife and a few others attended the final auction last night, right?"

"Yeah, that's right, so what do you guys need?" Cai Min was actually a little disgusted by the man's questioning tone right from the start. He didn't even ask them to introduce themselves. He was even more disgusting than the slightly frivolous men next to him.

"Then you haven't found the wrong person. Now we need your cooperation in doing some investigation." Brother Zhou nodded, and then winked at the two people next to him. The two people were about to step into the yard.

Seeing this, Cai Min quickly blocked him, "What do you mean? Can you just enter my house as you please? Are you a police officer? Do you have the power to enforce the law? Who are you?"

Brother Zhou frowned. He didn't expect Cai Min to have such a bad temper. The man next to him, who he ignored to say hello to, quickly came up and whispered, "Brother Zhou, this family is a tough guy. Our census work this morning did not go smoothly."

"Census work? Ha, you just want to make some money, but you take it for granted that you are cheating. And it's your own incompetence that has brought you to this point."

The man's face turned red, but he didn't dare to refute, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Brother Zhou's gaze returned to Cai Min. Seeing her angry expression, he impatiently explained their purpose: "The crystal core from the auction last night is missing. I suspect it was stolen by someone who attended the auction last night."

Cai Min thought of the crystal core he saw at the auction last night, which was as big as an adult man's fist. But when he heard that he was suspected, his face immediately darkened: "What do you mean? What do you mean by suspecting that someone related to you stole it? You didn't keep the things well, so you blame others, right? Who do you think your guild is? Who do you think you are? Even if the security team wants to come in, they need law enforcement authority and a stamped search warrant. Do you have it? If not, then it's trespassing!"

Brother Zhou couldn't help but sneered as if he heard something funny. "Breaking into a private residence? Then I can say that you are suspected of intentional theft. Don't say that this is just a lunch search. It's the 20th year now. It's the end of the world. What laws and regulations are there? What you say now is simply nonsense. And I suspect that you are related to the theft last night."

"What do you mean? You..." Cai Min was so angry that before she could react, the two men next to her had already walked around Cai's mother and even made a pushing gesture.

Just when one of the men was about to pull away Cai's mother who had been trying to stop him, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his shoulder.

"Ah!" The man lost his balance due to the pain and fell to the ground, with a stone rolling under his feet that appeared out of nowhere.

The man lowered his head in pain and was about to curse when he suddenly found a pair of slender female legs appearing in his field of vision.

The man was stunned for a moment at first, then he reacted and raised his head suddenly. After seeing the other person's delicate and elegant facial features, he was stunned for two or three seconds, but then he caught a glimpse of the fist-sized stone rolling a few meters away. The woman also made a gesture of wiping her palms. At this glance, he knew who threw the stone.

"You fucking bastard..." The man cursed out loud and tried to get up. However, before he could finish the curse, a long leg suddenly stretched out and kicked him in the chest.

Gu Tongwan's training in recent years, coupled with the parasitism of the blood vine, has improved her physical fitness far beyond that of an average adult woman. Even her grip strength is only around 100 kilograms, so the kick she gave directly sent the man flying three or four meters away.

The man's other companion was watching the show with a smile. After all, these people had already been despicable people in the end times, and their bad natures could not be changed at all. They usually liked to bully the weak and tease little girls. Therefore, they were more happy to see their companion teasing each other.

Originally, they thought that the girl would be made to cry as usual, but unexpectedly, the girl's kick was so clean and neat that even Brother Zhou himself did not react. The two of them could only watch the man lying on the ground, covering his chest and screaming in pain.

Cai Min and her mother were so scared that they trembled all over, but Cai's mother reacted quickly and immediately stood in front of Gu Tongwan, "What do you guys want to do? Do you want to bully us? Don't think we are afraid of you because you are from the guild. Even if it is the end of the world and there is no so-called law, our camp also has systems and rules. Breaking into private houses and bullying others will be criticized in the camp at the lightest, and expelled from the camp at the worst. I will complain to the district chief and your guild leader then!"

Cai Min looked at her mother in surprise. She really didn't expect that her mother, who was usually kind to everyone, would be so tough. But she was also worried that the other party would really get angry and attack her, so she quickly turned aside to send a message to Xu Xuesong.

Fortunately, Xu Xuesong took his mobile phone with him when he went out. He replied in less than ten seconds and said that he was on his way home.

Perhaps the noise here disturbed the people inside the house. Liao Yunyun, Xiaoli and Lan Cen were still in their pajamas. They only had time to put on a coat and ran out with their hair loose and sleepy eyes.

As a result, she found several strange men standing outside the yard, and they looked angry. Looking at the posture of Cai Min and others blocking the door, she knew that these people were not good people, so Liao Yunyun immediately ran up to them and questioned them: "Who are you? What do you want to do? Why are you blocking our door? Do you think we women are easy to bully?"
