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

After the commotion caused by the [Against the Wind Guild], the Cai family was obviously a little absent-minded during dinner. In fact, Gu Tongwan could understand what they were worried about.

Now the Cai family has obviously completely offended the [Against the Wind Guild]. Gu Tongwan and the others can just pat their butts and leave without any pressure. After all, they are from the base. Even if the [Against the Wind Guild] is very powerful, it is only limited to the Happy Wanderers' base camp. It cannot extend its hands so far to the base, so in the end they can only concentrate their firepower on the Cai family, and the Cai family will become their main target.

Although the Cai family has two psychics, Cai Xing and Xu Xuesong, Cai Xing has a special identity. He is not only a hunter of the Xiaohe Guild, but also a member of the security team. He is destined to not be at home all the time and needs to obey the guild's arrangements at any time to carry out various expeditions. Xu Xuesong's psychic level is relatively low and he has never participated in actual combat, so his psychic abilities can only be used in daily life. Therefore, once the Nifeng Guild comes to the door again next time, Cai's father and mother and Cai Min and his wife will not be able to stop these people at all.

Gu Tongwan looked at Cai's father, who ran to the yard and smoked continuously after eating only half a bowl of rice. He also saw Cai's mother sighing continuously while watching TV. Even Cai Min, who usually had a cheerful personality, seemed to be worried and spoke less.

Xu Xuesong went out to inquire about the situation of the auction last night. What happened in the camp could usually be found out by going to a nearby pub. There were many people in a pub, and all kinds of gossip in the camp spread very quickly. If you want to know what happened, it would be right to go to such a place.

Xu Xuesong didn't drink much on weekdays, but the bartender here was an acquaintance of his, so after sitting down for a while, he found out what he wanted to know.

It was already 8:30 in the evening when Xu Xuesong came back. Cai Min picked up her cell phone and was about to call him when she found that he had already returned to the yard.

"How is it?" Father Cai was sitting in the yard smoking. The amount of cigarettes he smoked tonight was almost the same as a week's worth. Mother Cai knew that he was nervous so she didn't nag him. She just saw that the ground was covered with a lot of burnt tobacco ashes.

In fact, the bar was not far from the Cai family, only about one kilometer away, so Xu Xuesong went there on foot. When he came back, he was still holding a flashlight in his hand, and it could be seen that he was walking very fast. The temperature at night could reach almost minus fifty degrees Celsius, but when he came back, there was a layer of hot sweat on his forehead.

Xu Xuesong nodded and replied breathlessly: "I asked."

Father Cai then supported himself on his knees and stood up, "Let's go inside and talk."

Several girls were in the room at this time. Liao Yunyun and a few others noticed that Cai Min was too worried about Xu Xuesong who went out, so they deliberately pulled Cai Min to watch TV in the living room.

Gu Tongwan sat beside and helped Cai's mother peel corn, while Yan Fan sat on the kang and smoothed the fur of the two dogs. During this period of time, he was almost becoming the full-time poop-shoveler of the two dogs. In addition to feeding them at specific times, he was also responsible for bathing and brushing their teeth.

Chen Yanxi had been leaning against the wall in the corner, his eyes closed and his entire body shrouded in a layer of black shadow. He had been maintaining this posture for almost two hours since dinner.

Yan Fan frequently raised his head and looked in the direction of Chen Yanxi, amazed that in such an environment he could actually restrain all his aura and begin to regulate his mental power.

Yan Fan knew that some psychics at a high level could train their mental power without interference from external factors, and during this period they could also control the flow of mental energy around them. Once they realized that there was a threat, they would immediately withdraw their mental power.

However, this kind of mental training is difficult for ordinary people to do, because it not only requires great concentration but also strong mental diffusion, at least to spread one's mental power within a certain range. He has only seen related discussion posts in the forum, but actually seeing it with his own eyes is another matter.

At present, Yan Fan's strength is still around level B. For a layman who was only a level D psychic half a year ago, such progress has surpassed 99% of the people in the psychic world. To use the words of insiders, his speed of progress can be called a "genius."

But in fact, Yan Fan knew very well that he was not a genius. If he were really a genius, he would not spend half of his time every day on training.

However, Sister Wanwan did say that he has a high talent for supernatural powers, and if he masters the correct training methods, he will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

After Xu Xuesong came back, he didn't have time to drink water. After taking off his coat, he hurriedly reached out to the stove in front of him, and then said, "I've found out everything. Something really happened at the [Nifeng Guild]. After we left that night, the mutant wild boar crystal core at the auction disappeared. It is said that the people in charge of guarding at the time all mentioned that there seemed to be a strange wind that night, and then they lost consciousness. It was more than ten minutes later when they were found. For this, the guild also compensated the seller for negligence."

"I remember there should have been surveillance cameras backstage at the auction that day, right?" Liao Yunyun asked.

Xu Xuesong shook his head and said, "We originally thought there would be surveillance, but because the guild thought it had enough manpower at the time, we didn't install surveillance that night, so the thieves took advantage of the opportunity."

"Heh, that's what you deserve. Such an important crystal core has security issues." Xiaoli snorted unhappily.

"In fact, this problem is not just a problem for the Against the Wind Guild. The electricity usage at the market is very chaotic. The surveillance cameras installed there are easy to be stolen and may even stop working due to power outages. Also, they probably didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to steal the guild's things." Cai Min had been frowning all night. It wasn't that she wanted to speak for the Against the Wind Guild at this moment. She just gave a simple analysis of the current situation at the market.

Xu Xuesong took the cup of warm water handed over by Cai's mother, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then continued the previous topic: "Last night, around 3 a.m., we discovered that the crystal core was missing. The crystal core is worth at least 100,000 points according to the market value. Even if it cannot be sold normally on the black market, there is no guarantee that the thief will not make nutrient solution under the crystal core. At present, the guild can only increase the intensity of the investigation. There were about 80 people at the auction site that night, including us, so all of these 80 people have become suspects. In fact, it's not just our Cai family. Other people's homes have also been investigated. If they have some background, it's not easy to search their homes. If they don't have any connections, their homes would have been searched thoroughly long ago. Just because of this matter, seven or eight people ran to the [Nifeng Guild] to make trouble this afternoon, but they were all chased back by the guild."

"This [Against the Wind Guild] is really shameless. Why do they search other people's homes when their own things are lost? Even in the past, when the police were performing their duties, they had to identify the suspect and obtain a search warrant before they had the power to search a house. Otherwise, they would be infringing on other people's property in a matter of minutes."

"Everyone knows this truth, but in the end times all legal systems have collapsed, and human civilization has gradually disintegrated. We can't expect to use the previous laws and thinking to consider doing things. But searching the house is indeed too much. At least we should accept the investigation first, and with the intervention of the security team, the guild is not a one-man show. No matter what, the actions of [Against the Wind Guild] this time are untenable, so it has aroused the disgust of so many people." Xu Xuesong's tone revealed deep helplessness, and it can be heard that he does not agree with the current system of the camp. As the power of the guild grows, some large guilds are also gradually taking control of the camp.

"But... who stole the crystal core? Could it be that the guild itself had a thief? There might have been something wrong with the people who were guarding at the time. How could they faint when the timing was so good? And as long as there was one person who was the thief, the rest of the people might have been fooled." Liao Yunyun touched his chin and began to analyze the case.

Xu Xuesong shook his head and disagreed with Liao Yunyun's guess. "The guild had already thought of this. I heard that they immediately detained the people who were in charge of guarding that night and interrogated them separately. They even invited a B-level psychic from the neighboring guild to hypnotize them. Under hypnosis, the statements made by the people were basically the same, so the possibility of an inside job was ruled out."

"It's not an inside job. The crystal core disappeared right after the auction ended, and it was able to easily avoid the guarding psychics. This shows that the thief's psychic level is not low, at least higher than the guild members present at the scene. He is very likely an A-level psychic or even above." After Gu Tongwan finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Chen Yanxi, only to find that he still had his eyes closed, his hands clasped across his chest, his legs slightly stretched forward, and his long bangs covering his eyebrows, making him look even colder and more vicious.

"The guild has checked more than half of the people now. They didn't succeed in entering our house to search this time, but they will continue to come later. Especially that guy surnamed Zhou is not a good person. What he did in the camp has long been known to everyone. Who doesn't know about it? He just relies on his background to act arrogantly." This is what Xu Xuesong was worried about. He specifically asked his friends about this person and learned that he had committed many crimes, but he always lived a free and easy life under the protection of the [Against the Wind Guild].

"Sister Cai, we are also somewhat responsible for what happened today. After all, I was the first one to hit someone. If they are targeting the Cai family, it must be related to me. I will stay in the camp until this matter is resolved."

"No, it's too dangerous for you to stay in the camp." Cai Min refused without thinking, and then realized that her tone was a little too hasty, so she persuaded: "In fact, even if you were not here today, that Zhou guy would still break into our house. Now he has memorized your face, and I think he has started to investigate you in the past two days. Today, that group of people obviously targeted you girls. I think you should leave as soon as possible to avoid more trouble."

At this moment, Chen Yanxi in the corner opened his eyes at some point, and his black pupils were like a bottomless black lake. Although it seemed calm on the surface, new waves were actually brewing at the bottom of the lake.

Gu Tongwan said, "Since they have already set their sights on us, they will not let us leave easily. Maybe there are people watching us not far away. If we leave the camp at this critical moment, they will attack us without any scruples."

Lan Cen and Xiao Li couldn't help but shudder when they heard this, especially Xiao Li's lips trembled: "No, it's not that exaggerated, are you going to attack us on the road?"

"It's not impossible. Half of the hunters in the Against the Wind Guild are amateur mercenaries, or some idle people with criminal records. Moreover, since the vice president took control of the real power, the guild has lowered the recruitment standards for guild members. They will not verify their identity backgrounds, and they don't care whether they have a criminal record. Everything is based on strength. Some people can continue to stay in the guild as long as they pay enough supplies. This is the fundamental reason why the number of people in the Against the Wind Guild has skyrocketed in a short period of time." Xu Xuesong explained what he knew, and then looked at Cai Min: "In fact, letting them go now is not as safe as keeping them in the camp. At least here they dare not attack openly."

"Then what should I do? It's not right to leave, and it's not right to stay." Xiaoli looked at Gu Tongwan in confusion.

Gu Tongwan looked at Cai Min and said, "You said that the person who holds the real power in the [Against the Wind Guild] is the vice president. Then what about the current president himself?"

Before Cai Min could answer, Cai's father, who was sitting at the door smoking, blew out a puff of smoke and said, "I'm afraid he's having a hard time. Ever since the president lost his son and daughter-in-law, he has been devastated. I heard that his health is not good and he is still in the hospital."

Afraid that Gu Tongwan and the others didn't understand, Cai Min immediately added, "It's like this. Although the guild president said to the outside world that he was sorry for his health and asked the vice president to take charge of the work, the fact is that the guild president's only son and daughter-in-law died in a crusade mission three months ago, so the president suffered a serious blow and couldn't focus on the guild. Even now that the president has realized that the vice president is gradually undermining his power, it's too late. Now it can be said that the entire guild is ruled by the vice president." This news had already spread in the circle, and the [Against the Wind Guild] seemed to have no intention of stopping the rumors at all, or they just wanted to let everyone outside know that the guild is now completely in the hands of the vice president.

"It seems that we have to make plans as soon as possible. We have to find a way to take the initiative before the guild continues to make things difficult for the Cai family." Gu Tongwan bit her lip, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.

Liao Yunyun, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but tremble her shoulders.

This seemed to be not the first time she had seen her best friend look like this. It seemed that every time she was about to take action, she would have this murderous look in her eyes.

Not only her, it seemed that even the two dogs who had been squatting at her feet had excitement in their eyes.
