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

The flare lit up the entire sky in an instant, and even made a unique piercing sound that caused many people to open their windows and look out to check the situation.

The security team’s headquarters is a four-story building. Although it only has four floors, the height of each floor is actually about four meters, which is far higher than that of ordinary buildings.

The lights that were originally sporadic inside gradually became more and more, and finally at least half of the offices had lights on.

One of them was sorting files in the office on the second floor. When he heard the sound of the flare, he became alert and immediately ran to the window to check the situation.

As soon as I opened the window, what came into view was the dazzling flares in the air and a mutant monster chasing downstairs.

The monster was more than three meters tall, and the man was on the second floor, less than one meter away from the monster. The monster happened to stop about four or five meters away from his window, and the man was so scared that he quickly squatted on the ground.

My brain was in a state of confusion for more than a minute before I finally ran to the light switch and turned off the office lights.

Most mutated animals will reject light sources, and they can also sense that where there are light sources there are often humans. When the camp was first established, mutated creatures would often run to places with light in the camp to look for living things. At that time, there were not many hunter guilds in the camp, and even the security team had less than a hundred people, so one or two people would disappear every day, most likely being taken away by the mutated creatures running down the back mountain and eaten as prey.

Later, the supporting measures and infrastructure in the camp were basically complete, and a high-voltage power grid was set up on the periphery. After the security team exceeded 1,000 people, they began to form daily patrol teams to strengthen surrounding security.

The man's approach was actually correct. This was also the training for their security team. Once they encountered an unknown creature, normal people would usually think of setting fire to it and driving it away, but in fact this only applied to small mutant creatures.

Large mutant creatures are not afraid of fire at all. They instinctively hunt and torture their prey.

It wasn't just the man's office that was experiencing this problem. Soon the lights in offices across the entire building were being turned off one after another.

However, there were occasionally one or two exceptions. Two team members in one office opened the window but could not see any trace of the monster. They were on the third floor, and the office happened to be at the end of the corridor. It can be said that this location was a blind spot, and there was no way to see the monster from below. However, one of the team members saw faint black footprints on the snow.

"Wait, something seems to be wrong. How about we go and meet up with the people from Action Team 2?" During the New Year period, at least half of the security team was dispatched for night patrols. Among the remaining half, one-third were administrative clerks, responsible for the daily business of the security team as well as some personnel and logistical work. These people usually stay in the office and can be said to be ordinary people without any combat power.

The other one smiled disapprovingly after hearing this: "Why are you afraid? Maybe someone mistook the flare for a firework. Didn't they see the gunshots? Besides, we still have people on duty. If something really happened, they would have shouted a long time ago."

The man spoke with his back to the window. The window was open and cold wind was blowing in from outside, even making the documents on the table rustle.

Just as the man finished speaking, a huge black shadow appeared at the window.

The man only saw the frightened face of his companion, and then he realized that there seemed to be something behind him.

But everything was over at this moment. Before the man could scream, he found his head hot and he felt an instantaneous sharp pain as if it was being torn apart. When he lowered his head, he saw his body below the neck lying on the ground.
