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

Several people parked the van in a relatively open area nearby, got out and walked to the high-voltage power grid. The closer they got, the more they discovered that there were many problems here.

The first problem is the aging of high-voltage power grid wires. Just as Liao Yunyun said, the power grid is already covered with rust, and some parts have signs of being gnawed. This should be caused by some small mutant animals nearby. After all, smaller mutant animals can enter the camp by digging underground. After the acid rain, the soil nearby was destroyed and the soil layer became looser. Therefore, mutant animals can easily avoid the power grid and enter the camp by digging underground holes.

As they walked along, they found several holes about the size of a fist, which looked more like traces left behind by mutant rats or some mutant snakes.

"Oh my God, there are so many rat holes here. Doesn't your camp do some work to eliminate the four pests? If these mutant rats increase in number, there might be a rat plague. I still have the psychological trauma of the rat plague at the base last year. Rats weighing two or three pounds scratching directly outside the window, the sound was so terrifying." Liao Yunyun still feels scared when she thinks about it, and even feels goose bumps all over her body.

Xu Xuesong couldn't help laughing and said, "Our camp was fine. Maybe the main target of the beast tide was the base with a large population. There were few people in our camp at that time, and the inner power grid had just been set up, so the voltage was very stable. At that time, people ran to this area every day to take the bodies of the mutant rats that were electrocuted to death and make barbecue. Ahem, to be honest, many barbecue stalls in the black market used skewers made from a mixture of mutant rat meat and some chicken and duck meat."

"Well, you are forbidden to continue this topic now. I want to go back and have something good for lunch. I am afraid that talking about this now will affect my appetite."

"I don't think it will affect your taste. Not only have you eaten three meals a day on time during this period, you've also eaten a lot, and..." Gu Tongwan showed a meaningful smile, which immediately made Liao Yunyun feel a bad premonition.

"And her face seems to be rounder, she looks well-nourished."

She had originally said it, but unexpectedly Yan Fan beside her also added: "It is indeed a lot rounder."

Liao Yunyun looked at the brother and sister and couldn't help twitching her lips. "Okay, you guys, you are now openly insulting me, right? I tell you, girls have to be slightly plump! Only slightly plump is beautiful, you know!"

Yan Fan shrugged and turned around, seemingly not caring about Liao Yunyun's stubbornness, which made Liao Yunyun narrow her eyes and glare at the boy fiercely.

Several people walked along this area for about ten minutes and found at least a dozen rat holes, and in the most serious places, they saw signs that the electric fence had been torn.

Gu Tongwan lowered his head and found a stone. He then threw the stone lightly towards the electric fence, but there was no reaction.

When Xu Xuesong saw this, his pupils suddenly shrank, so he immediately squatted down, found a stone and threw it at the electric nets in different directions.

The result is still the same, there is still no movement in the power grid.

"It seems that the power grid in the camp is just for decoration?" Liao Yunyun put her hands in her pockets, her tone intriguing.

Gu Tongwan threw the stone towards the outermost electric fence for the second time. The moment the stone touched the electric fence, there was a sharp "crackling" sound accompanied by a burst of sparks.

"The power grid outside seems to be fine. The main problem still lies in the innermost layer of the power grid. Are both layers of the power grid set up at the same time?" Gu Tongwan looked at Xu Xuesong.

Xu Xuesong's expression became more and more solemn at this time. After all, he had not imagined that the situation here would be so serious. He originally thought that the security team would discover the problems here after patrolling, but they waited here for more than twenty minutes and still did not see any patrol team.

A few people walked forward for a distance and found that the situation was even more serious. Tutu stopped at one place and growled. The others then discovered that there was a hole about half a meter wide in front of it. There were traces of gnawing and biting on the edge of the electric fence. The hole was big enough for an adult man to crawl through while crouching.

"There are traces of bites and claw marks on the ground. They are basically the same as the claw marks of the two-headed cat monster we saw in the field that day. It seems that they entered the camp from here during this period of time." Gu Tongwan took a quick look at the marks on the ground and found that these claw marks all had the same characteristics. The claw marks showed that this creature had only four fingers, and each claw mark was about 20 to 30 centimeters long, which showed that the creature was not too large and should be a small or medium-sized mutant animal.

Chen Yanxi also half-crouched down, his eyes falling on a black object scattered nearby. "From the scattered hair, it seems that this creature is short-haired, and it also contains some supernatural aura."

"Can you still sense the aura of superpowers from hair?" Gu Tongwan was quite curious about this. She knew that superpower users could sense the aura of nearby superpower users or superpower creatures. Even high-level superpower creatures could detect the remaining superpower aura nearby and reach the nearest superpower body.

"High-level psychics can track down the target based solely on the aura left behind, but there are very few people who can really do this because it requires absolute mental strength."

Yan Fan's voice was not loud, and he spoke only after he saw Xu Xuesong had walked to the other side to check. At the moment, there was no need for them to reveal too much about their situation to Xu Xuesong, so many things could only be discussed in private.

Just when everyone was about to go back, a horn was suddenly heard, and then they saw a three-wheeled motorcycle about a hundred meters away driving towards them.

The three people who jumped down from the three-wheeled motorcycle were not wearing the security team's uniform. Instead, they were dressed in their own clothes. One of them was wearing a leather coat and leather boots, and was dressed very elegantly. The other one was even more exaggerated. A grown man was actually wearing furry mink fur, and he seemed to be quite afraid of the cold and kept shivering. The remaining one was more normal, at least he was wearing an ordinary cotton coat.

The man in the leather jacket looked at Gu Tongwan and the others seriously, his tone as if he was interrogating a criminal: "What are you guys doing? Don't you know that this place is no entry for outsiders?" The man pointed to a sign hanging in front.

The paint on the iron plate had been washed away by acid rain, leaving pits and dents. The original content on it could no longer be seen. The man seemed to have noticed this, so he could only touch his nose awkwardly. But the next moment he glared at the opposite side fiercely: "This is a high-voltage power grid. What are you doing here? Do you think your life is not long enough?"

"Is he a psychic?" Gu Tongwan was not sensitive to the aura of people with psychics, so he could only lean over and whisper in Chen Yanxi's ear.

"There are just a few C-level psychics, probably here for patrol." Because of the height difference, she felt Chen Yanxi's breath blowing across the bangs in front of her forehead, and her skin felt a little itchy, and her heart also felt a little itchy. This strange feeling was something she had never experienced before. After noticing this, she immediately took a small step forward, slightly distanced herself from Chen Yanxi by about ten centimeters.

She thought she had concealed it well, but she didn't know that her every move had been seen by the other party, and the black eyes opposite her were slightly tinged with smile.

"We just stopped by to take a look, and we found quite a few problems. But may I ask which guild sent you to conduct patrol work?" Xu Xuesong's tone was quite humble, and probably because he looked gentle, the other party's vigilance was slightly lower than before, but his expression was still as impatient.

"What guild we belong to has nothing to do with you? We are on duty and on patrol. And you guys are really taking a detour from a long way. There is no village or shop nearby. Who would stop by for no reason? Tell me what you are doing here. If you don't tell the truth, I will immediately hand you over to the security team!"

"Why are you so fierce? Who said we can't stop here on the way? Did you see us do anything bad? Besides, I want to ask how you guys go to work. How long has it been since the high-voltage power grid was powered on? There are so many loopholes in your work. No wonder there are so many strange mutant creatures in the camp recently. I think it's because of your negligence in patrol work."

The man didn't expect that he would be criticized immediately after he said something, and the loopholes in their work were exposed at once.

In fact, ever since their guild was assigned this job, they have been patrolling with an attitude of "three days of fishing and two days of drying the net". Originally, the camp arranged for each guild to have at least five members per day, and they were divided into two groups and two time periods every day to conduct security patrols. However, the [Against the Wind Guild] disliked the low pay and hard work, so the guild members gradually slacked off, from patrolling twice a day to once a day, and now to once every three days, and each patrol lasts less than an hour.

Moreover, although it was called a patrol, two of the three people on the three motorcycles kept their heads down playing with their mobile phones, and the other one had his eyes squinted and was looking somewhere else, not paying any attention to the situation of the high-voltage power grid at all.

The man in the mink coat looked in the direction of Liao Yunyun's finger at the high-voltage power grid and found a half-meter-wide hole there. He was startled and nudged the person next to him with his elbow: "Is it broken?"

At this moment, the three of them exchanged glances, and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

The breakdown of the high-voltage power grid is a big deal. If some mutant animals run down from the back mountain and cause casualties in the camp, they will bear the main responsibility.

"Notify the guild first, then let the guild contact the security team and send an engineering team to repair it as soon as possible." The man in leather jacket whispered to the person next to him, and then he raised his head pretentiously, and the look of astonishment on his face disappeared in an instant.

"Okay, we already understand the situation here, you guys should go back quickly."

These people probably didn't want them to stay here any longer. On the surface, they pretended that they were delaying things, but in fact they were worried that if they continued this topic, it would expose loopholes in their work.

Liao Yunyun was about to say something else, but was pulled back by Gu Tongwan, "Don't argue with them, we have more important things to do later."

Liao Yunyun recalled that when they were in the car, they had talked about Liu Feng, the president of the Against the Wind Guild, and it seemed that they were planning to drive around to the villa area east of the camp to investigate.

Although she was annoyed with the few people in front of her who looked like they should be swindled and even wanted to retort, there were more important things to do at the moment, so Liao Yunyun could only nod and say, "Okay, let's go."

Seeing several people getting on the car, the man in the mink coat immediately spat: "Bah, you really think you are an onion, coming here to inspect our work? If I didn't have other things to do, I would see how I would deal with you!"

"Okay, okay, why bother with a woman? But seriously, those two girls are really good-looking and have very smooth bodies." The man in the leather jacket rubbed his hands, an obscene smile on his face.

The other man in the cotton coat walked back from the torn fence and frowned as he asked, "When did such a big hole appear?"

"Well, why think so much? It must have been caused by some mutant animal that ran down from the mountain. It's not the first time it's happened before. Why make such a fuss? Can't we just wait for the engineering team to come and fix it?"

The cotton-padded man no longer had the nonchalant look on his face. Instead, he shook his head seriously and said, "I don't think it's that simple this time. I just checked around and the outermost power grid has failed. Part of the inner layer has also been corroded by acid rain and cannot be powered. There are also several rat holes or snake holes here. In short, I suspect that the series of mutant animals that have appeared in the camp recently came down from the back mountain."

The man in leather jacket and the man in mink jacket were startled at this moment, but the man in leather jacket still forced a smile, "That has nothing to do with us, it's not like we haven't patrolled before. These power grids might have been caused in the past two days, or the power outage happened last night." The voice became smaller and smaller. After all, the three of them knew that they hadn't patrolled here for almost a week. Since the job was handed over to them, they have basically been in a state of "never patrolling actively if they can be lazy". After all, no one knows what they have done that day. They only need to sign at the security team after get off work every day and collect their salary every half a month. Although the pay is not high, they can be lazy at any time, so they are happy to be relaxed.

It was not very close for Gu Tongwan and his companions to drive from the west to the east. It took them nearly forty minutes. There was also a muddy road in the middle, which made it difficult for the van to drive on. Liao Yunyun even almost vomited in the car.

Originally I thought that the so-called villa area of ​​the camp was similar to the base, with better scenery and infrastructure, but I didn't expect it to be even more shabby than the administrative center of the camp. If it hadn't been said that there were villas here, I would almost have thought I had come to that remote mountain area. Along the way, there were only some abandoned low-rise houses without roofs.
